Chapter 269: You Have Stories and I Have Wine
"What old lover?"
Jian Xuan's voice revealed a sense of confusion.
Why did Mr. Gu say these words as soon as he came back? It's really confusing.
"Are you pretending to be me? Isn't Jiang Lingyun your old lover?"
Gu Heng snorted.
"You're talking about...Junior Sister Jiang?!"
Jian Xuan's voice suddenly rose.
"She's here?!"
Gu Heng nodded, his eyes full of contempt as if to say, "You still say you and her are not in a relationship."
He was not guessing blindly. First of all, although he had never heard of any story between Jiang Lingyun and Jian Xuan, the system task clearly stated "a close friend who has been missing for more than 2,600 years."
What's the concept?
Even after being missing for more than 2,600 years, Sect Leader Jiang still remembered this guy Jian Xuan!
Even for a top cultivator like Jiang Lingyun, more than two thousand years is probably a long time.
At this time, Gu Heng didn't dare to imagine it.
Having lived to this age and still remembering him so vividly, what else is there to say?
Either they are as close as one family, or they hate each other to the core.
Judging from Jiang Lingyun's attitude, "hatred deep in the bone" can be ruled out.
Even if they are not old lovers, they have definitely been deeply in love for a long time. Even if they have never expressed their feelings to each other, they have lived for so long that they are all shrewd people and just see through it without saying it out loud.
If only Qin Yiyao could live as long as Sect Master Jiang and still remember her cheap master.
Gu Heng just burst into tears.
This further proves that the relationship between these two people is definitely very close!
"Look, look, Junior Sister Jiang can even shout."
He clicked his tongue twice.
It turns out that this person is the eldest senior brother.
Gu Heng had also read many novels in his previous life, in which the relationships between the eldest brother and the younger sister often ended in failure, and it was often the eldest brother's one-sided wish, and in the end he made himself the villain and was killed by the "protagonist".
Then the little junior sister was embraced in someone's arms!
Although Gu Heng didn't put himself in the shoes of those "senior brothers", he still felt a little sorry for them.
Moreover, most of the time, the reason why the junior sister is snatched away is because the eldest senior brother has a bad temper and does not understand the minds of girls.
But Jian Xuan doesn't look like those bad senior brothers.If he was really dead, how could Jiang Lingyun have been thinking about him for more than two thousand years and still not forget him?
"I didn't expect that she still remembered me, the irresponsible elder..."
But unlike what Gu Heng thought, Jian Xuan's voice did not seem happy. Instead, he seemed a little ashamed of the embarrassment of meeting people.
As a bystander, Gu Heng has a very keen intuition about the emotional issues between other people. For example, now, although Jian Xuan is not as excited as Jiang Lingyun because he knows that the other person still remembers him, his emotions are obviously complicated.
In addition to joy, there was perhaps also a little guilt and shame, as if he was too ashamed to see Jiang Lingyun.
He was absolutely sure that there must be an extremely deep and inseparable relationship between Jian Xuan and Jiang Lingyun!
But there is a story.
The gossipy spirit in Gu Heng's heart was burning fiercely.
Well, there's no rush anyway.
I can't teleport with others, but I can teleport with lamps. It will only take a moment to return to the Sunflame Capital.
Then, Gu Heng placed the Honghuang Soul Lamp on the table, went to the back room to get two wine bowls, and opened a jar of homemade wine.
"Lao Xuan, you know I like to listen to stories..."
He poured himself a bowl of wine, then poured another bowl, pushed it in front of the lamp, and looked at the flickering light inside with a smile.
"You have stories, I have wine."
"Begin to speak."
"..."
Jian Xuan didn't say anything, but his body trembled slightly.
He seemed to know how to drink as his soul.
Or is it that Mr. Gu is simply amusing himself?
However, Jian Xuan actually had a secret in his heart, and he was naturally happy to have a listener to help him share the pressure of hiding the secret.
Sometimes, it's hard to keep things inside.
A ball of light floated out from the lamp. Jian Xuan's soul had been nurtured almost completely now and could almost condense into substance, but it still felt a little illusory.
Gu Heng raised his eyebrows with interest.
Wow, handsome uncle.
Unexpectedly, Jian Xuan was a handsome and dignified man during his lifetime.
Gu Heng thought that he and Jiang Lingyun were a good match.
"What does Mr. Gu want to know?"
Jian Xuan sat down opposite Gu Heng, looking at the bowl of wine in front of him, silent for a while, then raised his eyes to look at him.
"Have you and Sect Master Jiang confirmed your feelings for each other?""She confessed to me more than once, but I refused."
Jian Xuan squeezed his hands together and muttered.
"ah?"
Gu Heng was surprised.
You still refuse this? From her looks to her figure to her power and talent, this woman is so outstanding and she takes the initiative to confess her love to you, and Jian Xuan still chooses to refuse?
It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. To Jiang Lingyun, he is probably the only outstanding man in the world who is worthy of her.
Then she was rejected.
This is too disrespectful.
These two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, are from the same school of thought, and they call each other senior and junior brothers and sisters. No matter how unrelated they are, they are considered close after calling each other that way for so many years.
In other words, with this unique closeness and Sect Leader Jiang's active confession, Jian Xuan should not refuse at all unless he is a fool.
"Why do you refuse?"
Gu Heng couldn't help but ask.
"She is too good. I won't accept it when I am not worthy of her."
Jian Xuan said this with his lips tightly pursed, full of bitterness.
Gu Heng frowned: "Explain it more clearly."
"She became my master's disciple seventeen years later than I did."
"At that time, I was my master's last disciple, his only and most proud disciple. Because of this, I was arrogant and thought I was the most talented person in the world. Then, after seventeen years, my master broke his rule of leaving the sect."
"He picked up Junior Sister Jiang."
"In just three years, Junior Sister Jiang made my seventeen years of hard training become worthless."
Jian Xuan tried to touch the bowl of wine, but he was a spirit and could only watch the wine in the bowl make tiny ripples without being able to drink a sip.
Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.
Oh, I see.
He felt that his cultivation level was not worthy of Junior Sister Jiang's love and affection.
Indeed, if Jian Xuan is the more powerful and outstanding one, then he should be the sect leader.
But in the end, it was his junior sister who got that position.
Moreover, Jian Xuan was supposed to be the last disciple, but his master met Jiang Lingyun, which made Jian Xuan's special identity as the "last disciple" become awkward.
Gu Heng pressed his temple.
This isn't a melodramatic story, so why does it sound so sad?
