He Gu finally resisted the urge to reveal his identity.
Relaxing and still looking at the stone tablet, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's quite a coincidence, I am also engaged."
"Oh?" Shen Jiangli, who was still a little defensive, was slightly surprised when he heard this.
He seems to be a little concerned about this topic, but also seems to be just asking casually: "You are already engaged, your relationship should be very good, right?"
He Gu was immediately asked.
Compared with the relationship with ordinary people, it seems that it is indeed different. After all, there is a marriage contract, which has somewhat changed some of his feelings towards this fiancée.
But the specific relationship is never decided by one person alone, but is evaluated by the feelings between each other.
To be honest, he didn't feel Shen Jiangli's love for him. At the same time, he was sure that he was also half-hearted.
The relationship between the two was more like two kites that were originally on one side, but the strings were temporarily entangled due to a gust of wind.
So, can this still be considered a relationship?
After thinking for a while, he replied vaguely: "The clan has decided on it, and we are still working hard."
Of course, by "efforts" he meant efforts to break off the engagement.
Not knowing where he was touched, Shen Jiangli adjusted himself slightly and suddenly sighed softly.
It was also at this time that she looked at He Gu with a hint of like-mindedness in her eyes, which was fleeting.
After waiting for his fiancée to speak for a long time, He Gu turned his head and took a look, just in time to catch this hasty scene.
Faced with the strange look in his fiancée's eyes that looked like she was meeting a Taoist friend, he, the second-year-old monk, was confused and felt a little baffled.
Thinking of business, he changed the subject.
"What are you going to do next? You will definitely meet those people again, maybe that fat man is here too.
And there will definitely be more and more people forming teams in the future. It would be too much of a disadvantage for you and me to be alone. Why not work together temporarily? "
From his previous experience of rescuing Kong Rou, He Gu had a certain understanding of the meaning of the Tianji Stone's warning words.
That time he thought that if he placed the little girl outside Tianyang City, everything would be fine, but the facts proved that this was not the case.
In other words, the time in the prophecy is precise, but the location mentioned in the prophecy is probably only a general reference, including the nearby area.
So now he dare not persuade Shen Jiangli to give up the trial directly and let her use the teleportation port of the stone tablet to take refuge. That should not be enough to resolve the problem.
The only sure way to do this is that before the prophecy is completely eliminated, he must continue to follow her closely.
"I'm used to being alone and don't like teaming up with strangers. Thank you for reminding me. This is my private matter and I will handle it myself."
Shen Jianglei refused bluntly, with a calm tone and no mercy at all.
Putting away the blanket, she stood up with the gun in hand.
Sharp red eyes glanced at He Gu, and the words he said seemed like farewell, but they obviously had another meaning.
"We are destined to meet again."
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation, walked calmly into the stone door behind him with his long legs.
From her words, He Gu clearly felt a warning.
Strangely enough, he didn't feel offended and didn't take it to heart at all.
Smiling slightly, he immediately chose that door and followed in shamelessly.
In another newly opened trial room, Shen Jiangli's tall figure calmly walked out of the Shimen teleportation array.
As soon as she stood still, she noticed something unusual behind her, and her eyebrows with a trace of heroic spirit immediately wrinkled slightly.
After a while, she saw He Gu walking up behind her and walking towards her like a familiar figure.
She immediately moved to one side to distance herself, and her tone became a little impatient.
"Why can't you understand people?"
He Gu didn't care at all, but he didn't stick to her anymore, and replied with a playful smile: "The road is in the sky, you shouldn't have the right to stop me from going anywhere, right?"
Unable to refute for a while, unable to fight again and again, Shen Jianglei endured it for the time being.
Retaining some of her defensiveness, she ignored the man and observed the situation around her.
This time, there were two people standing in front of all the stone gates.
He Gu also noticed the situation of the other three teams, but did not see anyone from the Tianlang Sect again.
Somewhat relaxed, he couldn't help but joke: "Look, if I hadn't followed up, you would most likely have been eliminated in this round."
Although she didn't want to admit it, Shen Jiangli had to agree with He Gu's words at this time.
"No matter what your purpose is for always following me, I would like to advise you that it is best to give up this intention, so that we can still be friends."
Just one show?
He Gucai discovered that his cheap fiancée seemed to be very sensitive to the distinction between interpersonal relationships, well... like a hedgehog with fried fur.
Because of a marriage contract?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Fortunately, he remembered that he had told his fiancée frankly before that he was a very troublesome person, so it was natural for him to get up.
Immediately, he replied sincerely: "Don't worry, I won't follow you anymore after we leave the ruins.
I am a person who values fate. Since I accidentally encountered their evil intentions, I just wanted to destroy them and then I was no longer interested. "
The world is so vast that there are all kinds of things, and naturally there are all kinds of people.
Although Shen Jianglei didn't believe him immediately after hearing it, he had some idea of what this person was thinking, so he no longer strongly rejected him.
As long as He Gu's words were true, her rationality told her that temporary cooperation wouldn't be a bad idea.
After careful consideration, she said calmly: "I hope you didn't lie."
To show his sincerity, He Gu took the initiative to distance himself and joked: "Do I look like a liar?"

"Intuition tells me that not only does he look like this, but he also seems to like lying to women." Shen Jianglei replied lightly.
He Gu almost staggered when he heard this, feeling extremely ashamed.
The intuition of a strong woman is really scary...
Forcibly calming down, he immediately ended the topic and did not extend it further.
Here they are observing others carefully, and the other three teams over there are also carefully observing their opponents.
Persimmon pinched softly, and everyone present seemed very cautious before taking action to expose each other's strength.
But this stalemate did not last long, and soon a confident team took the lead in bursting out the aura of the realm and randomly attacked the opponent on one side.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. With their breakthrough, the other three teams including He Gu immediately took action.
In the blink of an eye, the situation became clear. Except for the team that started first, all of which were in the Five Realms, the other three teams were composed of the Five Realms plus the Four Realms.
Perhaps due to luck, He Gu and Shen Jiangli did not encounter the strongest team, but fought with another team of comparable strength.
At the critical moment, He Gu took advantage of the opponent's Fifth Realm cultivator's kick to sweep his legs, leaped into the air and used Flame Stamp again, and unexpectedly attacked the Fourth Realm cultivator who was fighting with Shen Jiangli.
Shen Jiangli remembered He Gu's particularly effective suppression technique, and immediately cooperated actively. As soon as the spear came out, the cultivator of the Fourth Realm was seriously injured in an instant.
At this time, the battle situation on the other side had already settled. Facing an opponent with a huge gap, the remaining weak team took the initiative to give up its place after trying.
Seeing this, the Five Paths cultivator who caught up had no choice but to give up and no longer risked his life.
Rushing to the side of his companion, he protected himself in front and shouted: "No more fighting, we quit!"
He was not from the Tianlang Sect, so he didn't feel embarrassed and stopped and let them leave safely.
Such obvious differential treatment made Shen Jiangli deeply doubt whether He Gu had a grudge against the Tianlang Sect, so he wanted to help her.
The enemy of her enemy is her friend, and if that's true, it's good news for her.
She wasn't familiar with the other party, so she didn't ask any more questions.
After all the four eliminated people left, the Shimen was activated again. The other team that passed the level took a short rest and then went to the next trial room first.
After meditating to regain his spiritual power, He Gu opened his eyes and looked at his fiancée who was keeping some distance away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he seriously asked questions related to resolving the prophecy.
"Miss Shen, what is Fatty Zhang's strength now? Do you know that there are several stronger disciples in their team this time?"
After these rounds of exploration, he realized that the trials in the ancient pagoda were not completely random, and were roughly matched according to the realm of cultivation.
If this pattern continues, the strong men of the previous generation will not be encountered prematurely by them.
Based on the purpose of the owner of the ruins, he even suspected that the ancient pagoda trials were divided into different trial groups, most likely based on bone age groups, otherwise it would be meaningless to let in the younger generation of cultivators.
All in all, he felt that the potential crisis should be concentrated on the younger generation of practitioners.
Shen Jianglei suddenly opened his sharp red eyes and looked at He Gu warily.
"How do you know my last name?"
He Gu, who was talkative for a moment, immediately turned around and pretended to be puzzled: "Didn't I say that I overheard the conversation of the Tianlang Sect disciples and they mentioned your name?"
Shen Jianglei stared at it closely for a while, and then withdrew his gaze after seeing nothing unusual.
After pondering for a moment, she answered truthfully: "Fat Zhang is currently at the peak of the Five Realms, but he has mastered a rare and powerful secret technique that can reach the Sixth Realm in a short time.
I heard from my master that the cost of using this secret skill is very high. Unless it is in times of crisis, most masters will not use it easily. "
He Gu had some general knowledge of the Luoshui Sect, and had also heard that there was a branch within it that had mastered a strange secret technique called "Body Addiction".
There is no original copy of ancient secret techniques. Although each secret technique has a different number of copies handed down, learning one will consume one, and they will often disappear as time goes by.
Secret skill engravings can generally only be supplemented from some ancient ruins, so the outside world has always said that Luoshui Sect secretly controls an ancient ruins, and there are a large number of secret skill engravings of "Body Absorption" in it.
It's just that no matter how snooping other forces tried, they still couldn't dig out the so-called ancient ruins, so the matter fell into place.
The effects of ancient secret techniques may be strong or weak, and not all of them are more powerful than ordinary Taoist techniques.
But the stock is too scarce, and it cannot be reproduced. Even a world-famous sect like Wu Zong does not have many hidden skills, and there are only a handful of good secret skills.
There are some secret skills for sale in Wu Zong Taoist Pavilion, but they are all very useless secret skills. They are in a slow-selling state all year round and are not as good as ordinary Tao skills.
A small number of truly powerful ancient secret skills are in the hands of their respective senior leaders, and they basically use them themselves if they are suitable.
What is left is either given to important descendants or kept in a collection to be exchanged with other cultivators in the future.
There are too many monks and too little food. As time goes by, if there is no stable way to obtain them, probably no strong person will have any extra ancient secret skills.
Compared with Tao skills, there is no training threshold for secret skills. Leng Qingzhu never gave them to him, which only meant that she did not have any good secret skills suitable for him.
Shen Jiangli didn't know what he was thinking and continued to answer: "Among them, Fatty Zhang is the most powerful, and the strongest disciple of Luoshui Sect did not come to this entrance."
Returning to his thoughts, He Gu nodded.
Using secret techniques, he can reach the six realms in a short time. Unless he takes the risk to use the power of the Golden Spirit Seal and cooperates with the secret technique of Canglong's three transformations, he really won't be able to kill the opponent.
He is still a little undecided on whether to take the risk when the time comes.
After stretching his muscles, He Gu stood up and said casually: "If there is a chance, let him stay here forever..."
Shen Jianglei glanced at He Gu with some surprise, wondering where he had the confidence to say such a thing.
Out of good intentions, she gave a gentle reminder: "You don't look like you are lying. If you are cut into eight pieces, I will definitely take care of your funeral.
I will also help you get revenge in the future. "
He Gu was immediately amused and said confidently: "Next time, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you this time."
