Yun Jin frowned and wanted to comfort her, but the environment here was noisy and not suitable for conversation.
"Brother Zeyang, it's great that you can come back safely. A lot has happened in the Holy Domain in the past two years. The Territory Lord misses you." Liu Ying said softly.
Gu Zeyang twitched the corners of his lips and smiled indifferently, "Really?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Saint Chi Qing walked slowly over and quickly smoothed things over, "Sister Liu Ying, you must have just come back from outside. Hurry up and take a seat. The dishes will be cold in a while."
Liu Ying smiled slightly and said, "Okay, thank you sister for reminding me."
After saying that, she obediently retreated to her seat.
"Brother Zeyang, I heard that you went to Yanbei College? How is Yanbei College?" Saint Chi Qing asked with a smile, seeming to have forgotten the existence of Yu Qingning and his party.
"Very good." Gu Zeyang said perfunctorily. He was obviously a little absent-minded. His eyes glanced at Yu Qingning from time to time. Seeing this, Saint Chi Qing clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves.
She has liked Gu Zeyang since she was a child, so she dressed up today, hoping that Gu Zeyang would take one more look at her.
Unfortunately, the person he was looking at was not him at all.
"Brother Zeyang..." Saint Chi Qing bit her lip lightly and hesitated.
Only then did Gu Zeyang realize that he had lost his composure, "Sorry, I just got distracted."
"It's okay, Brother Zeyang." Saint Chi Qing said with a forced smile.
Gu Zeyang stopped talking, and the banquet fell into silence, with only the occasional sound of clinking cups and plates.
Saint Chi Qing looked at the handsome Gu Zeyang in front of her and secretly clenched her fists. She was unwilling to give in. She had been practicing hard and refining elixirs since she was a child, just to be worthy of him. How could Gu Zeyang turn a blind eye to her!
At the end of the banquet, Saint Chi Qing personally sent Gu Zeyang and the others away.
"Brother Zeyang..." Saint Chi Qing called, her tone full of resentment and grievance.
Gu Zeyang paused, then returned to normal, and said calmly, "Hmm? Is something wrong?"
"Brother Zeyang, do you still remember that you saved me once five years ago?"
That year, Gu Zeyang encountered a herd of beasts on his way to practice. He happened to be passing deep in the mountains and met the injured Saint Chi Qing. She desperately resisted the attack of the spiritual beast, and finally exhausted her spiritual energy and passed out in the cave.
At that time, Gu Zeyang was soft-hearted and rescued her and sent her back to the temple.
After speaking, Saint Chi Qing lowered her head, looking shy.
Gu Zeyang frowned, "I don't remember."
"Brother Zeyang, you, how could you forget?" Saint Chi Qing raised her head and looked at Gu Zeyang in shock.
Gu Zeyang said impatiently, "I really don't remember, so you'd better stop mentioning it."
After that, they pulled Yu Qingning and they walked forward without any nostalgia.
Seeing Gu Zeyang's retreating back, Saint Chi Qing angrily crushed the wine glass in her hand.
Why?
Why did Gu Zeyang treat him like this?
He obviously saved her, but he said he had forgotten it? !
Isn't she worth remembering?
…
On the other side, Yun Jinyi looked at the direction Gu Zeyang left and asked doubtfully: "Zeyang, does it really matter if we leave Saint Chi Qing alone like this?"
Hearing this, Gu Zeyang's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "What kind of trouble do you think she is?"
Yun Jin was stunned, a little unsure of what he meant, "You mean..."
"Don't worry about it, she's not a good bird anyway, so stay away from her!" Gu Zeyang said viciously.
He has hated the hypocritical appearance of Saint Chi Qing since he was a child, so he has never had any sympathy for her.
The reason why he saved her before was just because of his father's face.
He had long known that Saint Chi Qing had an undue desire for him, so part of the reason why he left the sanctuary was to avoid her, for fear of causing trouble for himself.
Hearing Gu Zeyang say this, Yu Qingning's face looked better.
"Then where are we going now?" Yu Qingning asked.
"Of course I will be beaten when I go home." Gu Zeyang's whole face had a bitter look on his face.
Yu Qingning chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, His Highness Prince Chen is here."
"Alas..." Gu Zeyang sighed heavily.
…
After a while, the four of them arrived at an exquisite mansion.
"Little Lord?!"
"You are finally back!"
"Quickly, go inform the Territory Lord and the Territory Lord's wife." The gatekeeper said happily and excitedly, and quickly went in to report.
Soon, there was a commotion in the mansion.
After a moment, the door of the mansion opened wide, and several figures rushed out.
"You brat, you finally came back!" The leader was a middle-aged man in white robes, glaring at Gu Zeyang angrily, holding a wooden stick in his hand. This was Gu Jing, the master of the Sanctuary.
"Dad, please calm down first and listen to your son's explanation..." Gu Zeyang said with a flattering smile.
Gu Jing glared at him and snorted coldly, "Humph, let me see what kind of flowers you can name."
Gu Zeyang looked at the lady behind Gu Jing and said, "Auntie, you must help me!"
It is said that the wife of the Territory Lord is Lu Yan, the former saint of the Holy Territory. The Territory Lord and the Territory Lord's wife have a very good relationship, and they are very affectionate. The Territory Lord doted on his wife to no end, and he simply obeyed the Territory Lord's wife. Whenever the Territory Lord's wife said something, the Territory Lord immediately obeyed.
"Hmph! You brat knows how to go against your father, why don't you save him some trouble!" Lu Yan, wife of the Territory Lord, said angrily, but her tone was full of care and distress.
Gu Zeyang giggled, "Dad, Mom, calm down your anger, calm down your anger!"
At this time, Gu Jing noticed the three people following his bastard son.
"Your Highness Prince Chen?" Gu Jing was slightly surprised. He's actually here too?
Gu Zeyang pointed at Yu Qingning and Yun Jinyi and said, "Dad, they are my new friends. Her name is Yu Qingning and her name is Yun Jinyi."
"Hello." Gu Jingke said angrily.
Yu Qingning nodded, smiled slightly, and responded politely, "Lord, hello Madam Territory Lord."
Yun Jinyi also nodded and said hello, "Lord of the Territory, Madam of the Territory Lord."
"Okay, okay."
"This girl is really pretty." Lu Yan looked at Yu Qingning and praised him, then asked Gu Jing, "Is this my future daughter-in-law?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Qingning's cheeks turned red and she quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no!"
Gu Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at his son with teasing in his eyes.
Being stared at by his parents, Gu Zeyang felt his old face turn red, and he explained, "Auntie, she is not your daughter-in-law..."
"Not daughter-in-law? What is that?" Lu Yanyi asked.
Gu Zeyang glanced at Yu Qingning, hesitated for a moment, and said bravely, "I mean, we are friends. Auntie, you misunderstood."
"Ah? So you haven't confirmed your relationship yet?" Lu Yan suddenly realized.
Gu Jing coughed twice, "Cough, cough, cough, okay, okay, let's go in and sit down and talk."
