Chapter 778 Encounter, Sweetness

The blood-red light was fleeting, as if it had never appeared. Gu Jiuchen's heart was alarmed, but he did not act rashly. He comforted Ye Linglong, ordered people to secretly investigate the source of the strange phenomenon, and continued to handle the affairs of the sect.

A few days later, the Tianxian Sect was rebuilt, and invitations were sent out to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the survival of the disaster, which also showed that the Tianxian Sect stood at the top of the world of immortal cultivation again.

That night, the lights were shining, the music was floating, and guests from all forces gathered together, toasting and exchanging cups, which was very lively. Gu Jiuchen was handsome in a black dress, and Ye Linglong was elegant in a white dress. The two walked into the banquet side by side, like a couple of immortals, attracting countless envious eyes.

"Jiuchen, long time no see." A crisp voice came, and Zhao Linger, dressed in a goose yellow dress, was smart and lovely. She walked in front of the two and bowed.

"Ling'er, I'm glad you can come." Gu Jiuchen smiled gently. Zhao Ling'er contributed a lot in the catastrophe. He admired this brave and kind girl.

"Congratulations to Sect Master Gu and Fairy Ye. You two are really a match made in heaven." Zhao Ling'er sincerely blessed, but a trace of subtle loneliness flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you Miss Ling'er for your good words." Ye Linglong responded with a smile. She naturally understood Zhao Ling'er's intentions, but some things could not be forced after all.

On the side, Elder Li stroked his gray beard and looked at the happy scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Thinking back to the beginning, he supported Gu Jiuchen to rebuild the Tianxian Sect against all odds. Now it seems that his choice was so correct. Gu Jiuchen did not disappoint his expectations and led the Tianxian Sect to a new glory, and he finally found his own happiness. Thinking of this, Elder Li felt a little relieved and made a decision secretly.

"Master, I want to resign from the position of elder." In the middle of the banquet, Elder Li walked up to Gu Jiuchen and bowed.

"Elder Li, why are you doing this?" Gu Jiuchen was shocked. Elder Li was loyal to the Tianxian Sect and made great contributions to the sect. Now that he was enjoying his old age, why did he suddenly resign?

"I am old and my energy is not as good as before. It's time to leave the opportunity to the young." Elder Li explained, "I plan to retreat to the second line, concentrate on cultivation, strive to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible, and do my last bit for the sect."

Gu Jiuchen understood Elder Li's painstaking efforts, and did not force it. He said solemnly: "Elder Li, don't worry, you will always be a meritorious official of the Tianxian Sect, and we younger generations will remember your kindness."

Elder Li nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.

As the melodious music sounded, Gu Jiuchen extended his hand to Ye Linglong and invited her with a smile: "Linglong, would you like to dance with me?"

Ye Linglong shyly put her hand into Gu Jiuchen's palm, and the two stepped into the center of the dance floor. Gu Jiuchen danced gracefully and elegantly, and Ye Linglong was light and agile. The two cooperated tacitly, like a fairy couple, attracting everyone's attention and admiration.

After the dance, Gu Jiuchen took Ye Linglong's hand and walked out of the noisy hall to the top of Tianxian Peak. The moonlight poured down like water, making the figures of the two people particularly slender. In the distance, the sea of ​​clouds was surging, like a fairyland.

"Do you remember the scene when we first met?" Gu Jiuchen looked at the starry sky and asked softly.

Ye Linglong smiled slightly. At that time, she was still an innocent girl, and Gu Jiuchen was just an unknown boy. The two met in a trial, supported each other, and finally overcame many difficulties, and planted the seeds of love.

"Of course I remember you, you were still very young at that time." Ye Linglong joked, with a hint of sweetness in her tone.

"Yes, time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, we are no longer the same as before." Gu Jiuchen sighed with a hint of regret in his tone.

"But our hearts are always together, aren't they?" Ye Linglong held Gu Jiuchen's hand tightly and said softly.

Gu Jiuchen turned his head to look at the beauty beside him. Under the moonlight, Ye Linglong's eyebrows were full of tenderness and determination, which made him feel moved.

"Linglong, thank you for always being by my side." Gu Jiuchen said affectionately, "I swear that no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will go through it together and never separate!"

Ye Linglong's eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded gently, leaning her head on Gu Jiuchen's shoulder, feeling the tranquility and warmth.

However, just when the moonlight was just right and the affection was lingering, a black shadow quietly appeared in the woods not far away. This person was wearing a black cloak, covering his whole body in shadows, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, staring closely at Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was planning something.

The black shadow observed for a while, and after confirming that there was no one around, he quickly disappeared into the night.

"Let's leave here." Gu Jiuchen suddenly said, with a hint of subtle solemnity in his tone. Ye Linglong was a little confused, but the tacit understanding over the years made her choose to believe Gu Jiuchen's judgment.

They did not return to the Tianxian Sect, but chose a remote small village to settle down. Here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and their lives are quiet and peaceful. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong rented an ordinary house, and the yard was full of unknown wild flowers, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Let's live here for a while, okay?" Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong, his eyes full of tenderness. Ye Linglong smiled and nodded. This kind of life is what she has always longed for.

They lived a peaceful life in the village. Gu Jiuchen got up early every day to farm, while Ye Linglong was busy in the kitchen, preparing delicious meals for her lover. In their spare time, they would go for a walk in the mountains together, enjoy the beautiful scenery, or sit in the yard, drink tea and chat, and enjoy the rare tranquility.

The days flowed peacefully, and occasionally the visit of Zhao Linger broke the tranquility. Since the separation in the small village, Zhao Linger has been yearning for the life of this fairy couple, and from time to time she would sneak down the mountain to have a small gathering with them.

"Brother Gu, sister-in-law, I'm here again!" Zhao Linger's voice is always full of energy, like a happy little bird, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet courtyard.

"You girl, you didn't practice well in the mountains, and you sneaked down again." Ye Linglong scolded, but her eyes were full of pampering.

"Oh, sister-in-law, how can practice be more important than accompanying you!" Zhao Linger took Ye Linglong's arm and acted coquettishly, causing Ye Linglong to laugh.

Gu Jiuchen watched from the side, his eyes full of smiles. He liked this simple and pure happiness very much, without intrigue, without scheming, only sincere care and laughter.

On this day, Gu Jiuchen went up the mountain to collect herbs as usual, and he was pleasantly surprised to find a hidden valley. The valley was filled with spiritual energy, and exotic flowers and plants bloomed, like a paradise. Gu Jiuchen was attracted by the scenery in front of him and walked into the depths of the valley unknowingly.

Suddenly, he saw a strange plant. The plant was crystal clear and exuded a faint light. At the top of the plant, there was a flawless white flower, and the petals were stained with crystal clear dew, shining with colorful light in the sun.

Gu Jiuchen had never seen such a strange plant before, he approached carefully and observed carefully. He found that the roots of this plant were deeply rooted in a huge spiritual stone, no wonder it could absorb such rich spiritual energy.

Gu Jiuchen's heart moved. He knew that this plant was definitely not an ordinary one, so he carefully pulled it up by the roots and put it into his storage bag. He thought that this flower was so beautiful and pure that it must be very suitable for Linglong.

After returning home, Gu Jiuchen solemnly gave the crystal clear flower to Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong took the flower with surprise in her eyes. This flower was pure and flawless, exuding a faint fragrance, which made her love it.

"Linglong, this flower symbolizes the pure and flawless love between us. I hope you like it." Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong affectionately, with tenderness in his eyes.

As night fell, the stars were dotted. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong lay on the soft grass, leaning against each other, looking up at the vast starry sky. The moonlight was like silver, falling on them, as if covering them with a layer of gauze.

"Jiuchen, what do you think our children will look like?" Ye Linglong gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her eyes full of loving light.

"I hope he is as beautiful and kind as you, and as brave and strong as me." Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's hand, with a happy smile on his face.

However, just as they were immersed in happiness, a paper crane flapped its wings and flew into their courtyard. Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly, took the paper crane, unfolded it, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Linglong noticed Gu Jiuchen's abnormality and asked worriedly.

"It's a message from Elder Li, something happened in the fairy world..." Gu Jiuchen's tone was heavy, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
