311: Goodbye Lin Shuang, my feelings are revealed

Among the crowd, a pair of eyes constantly glanced in the direction where Elder Zhang had left.

Only when Elder Zhang had completely disappeared did he withdraw his gaze.

The owner of these eyes was Li Buzheng, the Peak Master of Tianji Peak.

Master Wan Yan, who was beside him, nudged Li Buzheng with his elbow:

"Senior Brother, snap out of it. Which one are you going to bet on?"

"Nine wins and five losses, isn't that too risky? Why don't we just bet on the Dao Alliance winning?"

Li Buzheng frowned and turned his head:

"Senior Brother Wan, don't you think that Elder Zhang looks a bit familiar?"

Master Wan Yan nodded: "He does look a bit familiar."

Li Buzheng's eyes lit up:

"Who do you think he looks like?"

Master Wan Yan: "Like my long-lost God of Wealth."

"Junior Brother, hurry up and place your bet. That old man is fierce; he wins every time."

Li Buzheng gave Master Wan Yan a roll of his eyes and stopped thinking about Elder Zhang.

Ultimately, for the sake of stability, the two only bet on the Dao Alliance winning.

Gu Liangyuan was unaware of everything that was happening on this side.

At this moment, he was meeting Lin Furen in the Forget-Love Hall.

Seeing Lin Furen enter the hall, Gu Liangyuan rose to greet her:

"Lin Furen (Lady Lin), you've finally arrived."

"Hmph!"

However, what Gu Liangyuan didn't expect was that his enthusiasm was met with a light humph.

This left Gu Liangyuan a bit bewildered.

What's going on?

"When you need something from me, you become enthusiastic, but when there's nothing, you don't even think about inviting me to Forget-Love Peak for a gathering."

Uh...

Listening to Lin Furen's words, Gu Liangyuan felt a strong sense of resentment.

Even though he hadn't done anything, he felt as if he were the heartless man.

Before he could reply, Lin Furen suddenly realized the impropriety in her words and quickly tried to cover it up:

"You know how much I miss... Ao Zhi?"

Lin Furen wanted to say "you" but ultimately didn't dare to, changing it to Ao Zhi at the last moment.

Gu Liangyuan said: "It's my fault. From now on, I will definitely invite Furen to visit Forget-Love Peak more often."

Then he saw that the resentment in Lin Furen's eyes seemed to deepen.

It made Gu Liangyuan, a being who could kill without batting an eye, dare not meet her gaze.

Gu Liangyuan was even more puzzled; he felt there was nothing wrong with what he had said.

What's going on?

Due to her status as a widow, Lin Furen was more sensitive in her heart when facing Gu Liangyuan compared to Lü Qingmei and the others.

The reason the resentment in her eyes deepened was that she felt Gu Liangyuan's words were too polite.

Gu Liangyuan's attitude was more like treating a guest.

During the time Lin Furen had been staying at the Jun Family, she had completed her self-conquest in her heart.

In her mind, the next time she met Gu Liangyuan, they would surely be incredibly familiar, and even their relationship could advance further because of it.

However, Gu Liangyuan's polite words differed from what she had imagined in her heart, hence the resentment.

It was precisely because she cared more that she was more sensitive.

He became increasingly outstanding; the battle at Zhenbei Pass made him instantly recognized as a top Great Divine Power user in the world.

Before, when I faced him, although I was a widow, I had some confidence in my heart.

Now, looking at him again, it seems that even a Jun Family is nothing in front of him.

Thinking about the shackles of their identities and the gap in their cultivation, Lin Furen suddenly felt a wave of sorrow.

Seeing that water mist was about to well up in Lin Furen's eyes, Gu Liangyuan felt a sudden irritation, and he glared sharply:

"What are you crying for? Hold it back!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Liangyuan regretted them.

No matter what, he had invited Lin Furen to help, and being so fierce was indeed inappropriate.

But to Gu Liangyuan's surprise, with a single scolding, Lin Furen actually stopped the tears that were about to fall.

She stood there obediently, no longer having the demeanor of a Jun Family Furen, but rather like a Junior waiting to be disciplined.

Eh!

Gu Liangyuan was surprised in his heart. So, this was the ultimate method to subdue Lin Furen!

Lin Furen, standing obediently there at this moment, also had an inexplicable feeling.

He told me not to cry, so I don't cry? Why?

But, I can't help but want to listen to him.

In a daze, she remembered that when she was young, her father was always busy for the Lin Family, and she rarely saw him.

To get her father's attention, she would always deliberately cause trouble, in order to gain his concern.

Every time she heard her father's angry shouts, although she was sad, she also found comfort in her heart.

This scene now, and the scene from her childhood, were remarkably similar.

It was just that her father died young, and she never truly received paternal love.

Gu Liangyuan flicked his hand, and a brocade box floated in front of Lin Furen, his voice softening a few degrees:

"Recently, the struggle with Mo Emperor has been extremely dangerous, and I think..."

Gu Liangyuan originally wanted to say Lin Furen, but changed it to "you" at the last moment.

"I think you are safest staying at the Jun Family, so I didn't want to call you unless it was a critical moment."

"The gift in this brocade box is what I prepared for you, consider it an apology."

Looking at the brocade box floating in front of her, Lin Furen pouted and didn't take it.

One must know that Lin Furen used to be extremely careful about her demeanor, never showing her teeth when she smiled. Gu Liangyuan had never seen her act like such a young girl before.

Seeing that kind words were ineffective, Gu Liangyuan's tone became stern again:

"I told you to take it, did you hear me!"

"I'll take it, I'll take it, why are you so fierce!"

Lin Furen replied seemingly defiantly, but her body was very honest, obediently taking the brocade box.

Seeing Lin Furen accept it, Gu Liangyuan slowly rose:

"Accompany me for a walk on Forget-Love Peak."

Saying that, Gu Liangyuan led the way out of the Forget-Love Hall.

Lin Furen followed closely behind him.

Neither of them spoke, nor did they use their Divine Ability; they just walked side by side, emerging from the Forget-Love Hall, step by step, until they reached the summit of Forget-Love Peak, arriving at the spot where they had last viewed the sea of clouds.

Gazing at the surging sea of clouds in the distance, Lin Furen faced the wind, raising her jade-white neck, letting the wind ruffle her beautiful hair, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This time, their way of getting along on Forget-Love Peak was a little different from what she had imagined.

However...

Lin Furen glanced at Gu Liangyuan's profile from the corner of her eye; his resolute gaze and well-defined features made her heart tremble.

However... this feeling also seemed quite good.

"I know what you think of me."

Gu Liangyuan's words suddenly came.

Lin Furen's heart skipped a beat. The howling wind, the rustling leaves, the chirping birds... at this moment, all sounds were cleared from her world.

All she could hear was her own rapid heartbeat.

Her mind went blank, and she even forgot to move.

Gu Liangyuan turned around and looked directly at Lin Furen.

"I have already given out five of the treasures inside the brocade box; you are the sixth."

Listening to Gu Liangyuan's seemingly pointed words, Lin Furen seemed to understand something.

She wanted to say something, but Gu Liangyuan had already disappeared.

Lin Furen didn't pursue him. She took out the brocade box Gu Liangyuan had given her earlier, and with a sweep of her Divine Sense, its contents were laid bare.

Looking at the resplendent bellyband (dudou) embroidered with a golden Phoenix, Lin Furen instantly understood everything.
