Chapter 844 Challenge Appears
Ye Linglong's words made Gu Jiuchen feel like he was struck by lightning. Only then did he realize how much harm he had done to Ye Linglong.
"I..." Gu Jiuchen wanted to explain, but found that he had nothing to say. Looking at Ye Linglong's determined eyes, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"I'm tired and don't want to argue anymore." After Ye Linglong said that, she turned and left, leaving Gu Jiuchen standing alone with a bleak figure.
Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's leaving back, his heart filled with pain and self-blame. He knew that an insurmountable gap had appeared between him and Ye Linglong.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His mind recalled every moment since he met Ye Linglong, and his heart was filled with bitterness. Finally, he made a decision. He decided to leave temporarily and give each other some time to think calmly.
Can Ye Linglong and Gu Jiuchen find a way to resolve their misunderstanding after calming down?
Gu Jiuchen was deeply stung by Ye Linglong's words, as if a sharp ice blade had pierced his heart, leaving a bone-chilling chill. He never thought that the careful care he had always taken would become a thorn in Ye Linglong's heart, piercing so deeply.
He opened his mouth, wanting to defend or explain, but found that all the words were blocked in his throat and he could not say a complete sentence. He looked at Ye Linglong's decisive back, feeling huge loss and bitterness in his heart.
Mingyue looked at the two people worriedly and wanted to persuade again, but was held back by Xuanfeng. Xuanfeng shook his head and signaled Mingyue not to interfere. He knows that for some things, interference by others will only be counterproductive. Only the person involved can
Only then can this knot be untied.
Ye Linglong left without looking back, tears blurring her vision and the road in front of her. She didn't know where she was going or what she should do. She only knew that she needed to be alone now and think about it all.
Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's retreating back, his figure crumbling. He had never been so helpless as now, as if the whole world had left him, leaving only endless darkness and despair.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his raging emotions. He knew that now was not the time to feel sorry for himself, he had to calm down and find a solution to the problem.
"I decided to leave for a while and give each other some time to think calmly." Gu Jiuchen opened his eyes and looked at Mingyue and Xuanfeng firmly, "During this time, I will ask you to take care of Linglong."
After saying that, without waiting for the two people to respond, Gu Jiuchen turned around and turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the sky.
Mingyue looked at the direction Gu Jiuchen was leaving, her eyes full of worry: "Senior Xuanfeng, do you think they... can go back to the past?"
Xuanfeng sighed and shook his head: "The word love is the most difficult to understand. The misunderstanding between them is too deep. It is not easy to solve it."
Ye Linglong and Gu Jiuchen, one left in anger, the other left sadly, leaving behind debris on the ground and endless confusion. Can they find a way to resolve their misunderstanding after calming down? Where will this relationship go?
After Gu Jiuchen left Mingyue and Xuanfeng, he did not return directly to Tianxian Sect, but came to a quiet valley alone. He needs time and space
, to digest it all. Ye Linglong's determination was like a sharp blade, cutting a gash in his heart, dripping with blood.
He never thought that the relationship between himself and Linglong would reach such a stage. What was once sweet, now that I think about it, is like poisonous honey, extremely bitter.
"Linglong, what do you want? Is there really only misunderstanding and hurt left between us?" Gu Jiuchen looked up to the sky and sighed, his voice full of powerlessness and sadness.
After sitting quietly in the valley for three days, Gu Jiuchen finally calmed down. He understands that escaping cannot solve any problems. He must cheer up, find out the truth, and give an explanation.
At this time, Ye Linglong gradually calmed down with Mingyue's company. She began to reflect on her behavior. Was it too impulsive? Did you blame Gu Jiuchen wrongly?
"Mingyue, tell me, am I too willful?" Ye Linglong looked at the falling red leaves outside the window, her tone full of confusion.
Mingyue held her hand and said softly: "Linglong, you just care too much about Gu Jiuchen. You are afraid of losing him, so you worry about gains and losses, and you are so easily provoked."
"Provocation? What do you mean..." Ye Linglong suddenly raised her head, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Mingyue nodded gently and told Ye Linglong everything that had happened in the past few days, as well as her guesses.
"You mean, someone deliberately provoked a relationship between me and Jiuchen?" Ye Linglong covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes full of shock.
Mingyue sighed and said: "I am just guessing, but there are various signs that this is not groundless. Linglong, think about it carefully. In the end,
Has anyone said anything strange to you recently? "
Ye Linglong fell into deep thought, and the faces, words, and eyes flashed through her mind. Thinking about it now, they all seemed a bit weird.
At the same time, Gu Jiuchen also returned to Tianxian Sect. He locked himself in his study, carefully thinking about what had happened recently, trying to find any clues.
"Come here!" Gu Jiuchen called his close disciples, "pass the order, strengthen the sect's vigilance, and strictly investigate suspicious people."
"Yes, Sect Master!" The disciple took the order and left, and calm returned to the study room again.
Gu Jiuchen looked at the night sky outside the window, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He knew that a storm was coming. And he was ready to face the challenge.
At this time, at the headquarters of the Righteous Alliance, a conspiracy against Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong was quietly brewing. A figure in black sneaked into Xuanfeng's room quietly... An undercurrent surged.
After Gu Jiuchen left, Xuanfeng stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, but his heart was not at peace. He was not ignorant of the emotional entanglement between Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. But what made him uneasy was that during this period, there seemed to be some discordant voices within the Righteous Alliance.
"Could it be that the Demon Cult is secretly causing trouble again?" Xuanfeng thought to himself.
In order to find out the truth, Xuanfeng began to secretly pay attention to every move of the people around him. He found that some monks who seemed to be indifferent to the world on weekdays would always have an imperceptible haze in their eyes when talking about Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. What surprised him even more was that these cultivators
There seems to be some secret connection between the scholars.
One day, Xuanfeng pretended to be on patrol, but in fact he was secretly following several monks who were acting suspiciously. He followed them all the way and finally came to a remote cave. Xuanfeng concealed his presence and quietly approached, only to hear a low conversation coming from inside the cave.
"How are things going?" a hoarse voice asked.
"Replying to your lord, everything is going according to plan. The rift between Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong is getting deeper and deeper. I believe it won't be long before they completely break up." Another flattering voice replied.
"Very good, remember, we must not let them have an easy time. If Gu Jiuchen is not dead, we will have no peace." The hoarse voice was full of resentment.
Xuanfeng was shocked. This voice was all too familiar to him. It was the "Ghost Shadow", one of the four guardians of the Demon Sect. It seems that the Demon Cult has indeed infiltrated into the Righteous Alliance, and its targets are Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong!
Xuanfeng did not alert the enemy, but quietly retreated, secretly informing several confidants about the matter. After everyone discussed it, they decided to stay put for the time being and wait for the opportunity to catch all the spies of the Demon Cult.
However, the devil's conspiracy did not stop there. A few days later, the Righteous Alliance held an important meeting to discuss how to deal with the upcoming demonic attack. At the meeting, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong sat side by side, but never said a word. There was a cold atmosphere between them.
At this moment, a mysterious man wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat, whose face could not be seen clearly, suddenly stood up, pointed at Gu Jiuchen's nose and asked loudly: "Gu Zongzhu, you are the leader of the right path."
, but you bent the law for personal gain, protected your own woman, and ignored the people of the world. Are you worthy of those heroes who sacrificed their lives to resist the demonic sect? "
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Everyone turned their attention to Gu Jiuchen, their eyes full of suspicion and dissatisfaction. Ye Linglong, on the other hand, looked pale, bit her lips tightly and said nothing.
"Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense here!" The disciples of Tianxian Sect angrily shouted.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I want to expose Gu Jiuchen's true face!" The man in black sneered, "As far as I know, the reason why Ye Linglong left the Tianxian Sect was because Gu Jiuchen went behind her back with her. Other women have fornications, even..."
The man in black paused deliberately and said in a more sinister tone: "He even gave birth to an illegitimate child!"
These words were like a bomb that exploded in the crowd. Everyone looked at Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong with more complicated expressions, and their comments became louder and louder.
Gu Jiuchen's face turned livid, and he stood up suddenly. He was about to retort, but was stopped by Xuanfeng.
"Sect Master Gu, please be patient. This person's origin is unknown and his words cannot be trusted." Xuanfeng said in a deep voice.
