"Kong Baihe, you are going to die!" When Xing Ruyu heard Kong Baihe's words, her voice immediately raised and she kicked him directly.
Fortunately, Kong Baihe had already taken precautions and dodged in time, and said with a smile: "Then you should say it nicely and stop showing off. Judging from your unspeakable expression this time, I must think so."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" His martial arts talent is very good, and in that era, he could almost be called a genius."
Kong Baihe was thoughtful.
"In this case, he should have a better chance of becoming the head of the Du family. Moreover, these big families generally focus on the elder rather than the younger."
"Indeed, Du Rusheng was the eldest son of the head of the Du family at that time, and he was extremely talented. If nothing else happened, he would definitely become the next head of the Du family. However, during another training, he and my grandfather entered a place together. Deep in the mountains, I encountered an extremely powerful monster. Du Rusheng had escaped completely, but he turned back to save my grandfather, and then he lost an arm."
Xing Ruyu said this with some emotion: "I still respect Grandpa Du very much, and Du Bin is his grandson."
Kong Baihe nodded.
"It turns out there is such a past event. No wonder Grandpa Xing is unwilling to refuse Du Bin's marriage proposal..."
As for why Xing Jikai was unwilling to discuss this topic with Kong Baihe before, the reason is not difficult to imagine. If he had to say that he owed something, it was Xing Jikai himself who owed it.
There is no reason why his granddaughter needs to repay the debt he owes.
It's just that Du Bin had already come to propose marriage before. If he refused, the old man would not be able to say it no matter what.
"Kong Baihe, we should be good friends, right?" Xing Ruyu suddenly stopped and turned to look at him, saying seriously.
The corners of Kong Baihe's mouth twitched slightly.
"When you ask this question, it means you want to drag me into the water."
Xing Ruyu felt a little embarrassed when he saw through his thoughts at a glance.
Fortunately, Kong Baihe was still loyal enough and said directly: "Don't beat around the bush, just tell me what you want me to do..."
"Take me and run away! Let's sneak out and find a place where you can hide me!" Xing Ruyu said seriously.
Gu Yuan on the side coughed slightly, looking at them with a somewhat strange look.
Listening to Xing Ruyu's words, why does it sound like they want to elope together?
"This..." Kong Baihe's expression changed instantly.
He really didn't expect that Xing Ruyu would think of such a method.
Gu Yuan said from the side: "This is probably very difficult. Even if we want to take you out, you can't get out. If you could run away, you would have run away long ago. There is no need to wait for us to come, right?"
Xing Ruyu's eyes were also much darker.
"Yeah... I can move around freely in the Star Reaching Sect now, but can you help me think of a way! For example, can I dress up in disguise?"
"There were three of us when we came in, and we became four when we went out. It's useless even if you pretend to be Santa Claus." Gu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
What kind of brain circuit is this like Xing Ruyu...
"Yes, Ruyu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really can't do it." Kong Baihe said awkwardly.
"Then...is there no other way?" Xing Ruyu was about to burst into tears.
However, the cost of acting is more.
"Let's do this. Give us some time. Gu Yuan and I will think about it and see if we can find a way to get the best of both worlds!" Kong Baihe said.
Xing Ruyu lowered his head and looked at his toes, and finally said "hmm".
"Okay, I won't disturb you for now. I'll arrange for someone to send you toiletries and the like later."
"Um!"
After sending Xing Ruyu away, Kong Baihe breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Gu Yuan was already standing in front of the window, looking at the scenery in the distance. This star-picking tower was indeed as Kong Baihe said before, with beautiful scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It seemed that he could vaguely hear the sound of water ripples.
Looking at the fallen leaves floating on the water, and the moon hidden in the dead trees pulling the starlight, it seemed that Gu Yuan's memory was brought back to his childhood.
"Gu Yuan, will Captain Li come over tonight? Should we share rooms first?" Kong Baihe asked.
"I can do it." This Star Building has three floors in total. It is built on the water. The humidity will be relatively heavy. Occasionally it will be fine for a few nights. But if you live in such a place for a long time, your body will definitely have problems. of.
However, Gu Yuan and the others are in relatively good physical condition, so they don't need to worry about such problems.
"I think Captain Li will be arranged to live somewhere else." Gu Yuan turned around and continued, "We should be the only ones living here today."
"That's good." Kong Baihe laughed and said, "Don't mention it, Captain Li is not here, I feel much more relaxed."
Not long after, disciples from the Star Reaching Sect brought them toiletries and new humiliations. In addition, they all had tea and desserts.
While drinking tea, Kong Baihe asked: "Can you think of any solution?"
"What?" Gu Yuan was stunned.
"The stars are like rain!"
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't think about it..."
He was not familiar with Xing Ruyu, so why should he think about this problem?
Besides, this is a matter for the Star Reaching Sect.
To put it harshly, who will Xing Ruyu marry? Will she be happy after marriage? How many children will she have in the future? Will she be abused when she gets old...
It has nothing to do with him.
Kong Baihe sighed and said, "I promised her that I would find a way."
"This is what you promised, not what I promised. Besides, I don't know much about the situation of the Star Reaching Sect or the Du family. What do you think I can come up with?"
Gu Yuan also picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After rolling his Adam's apple, he continued: "Besides, don't take yourself too seriously. Xing Ruyu's parents can't do anything about it. What can you do?"
"That's true...but you are smart. Can we brainstorm ideas?"
Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Your Kong family seems to have a very good relationship with the Star Reaching Sect."
"That's right, it's mainly my grandfather and Master Xing. They are old friends and can be considered family friends."
"In that case, I really have a way. As long as you are willing, you can save Xing Ruyu."
"Huh?" Kong Baihe's eyes lit up, "Are you serious? Haha, Gu Yuan, I really saw you right. In just a moment, you came up with a solution?"
"Actually, it's very simple. If you propose marriage and ask Master Xing to marry Xing Ruyu to you, isn't that the end of the world?" Gu Yuan said, "He is too embarrassed to refuse Du Bin. How dare he refuse you?"
"hiss……"
