Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy
Chapter 69 Different Paths to Immortality 22
Once the main gift-giving ceremony is over, that's when everyone starts testing each other's boundaries.
During the banquet, glasses were clinked and toasts were exchanged.
As the central figure at the banquet, Qing Yan was surrounded by several highly senior priests who showered him with compliments.
Gu Yao felt sorry for Qing Yan, thinking that his face was about to freeze from smiling.
It vividly illustrates what it means to smile on the outside but curse on the inside.
Their little area was quite quiet.
After all, not everyone is qualified to chat with people from this area.
The mysterious and arrogant nature of the three ancient clans.
I didn't talk to him. My parents were busy dealing with friends they hadn't seen in years, and he was the one with the most free time.
I wonder where my second sister went?
I haven't seen him yet. Could he be out having too much fun?
Gu Yao sighed dejectedly, feeling utterly bored.
I miss my cousin's "magical voice" a little.
At least there's some human presence, so he won't be staring blankly at the grapes in front of him like this.
He felt like a kid being taken to a class reunion by his parents, only able to stand aside and draw circles.
That guy staring at me for a while over there, isn't he the second prince of the North Sea Dragon Clan?
That ardent gaze was impossible for Gu Yao to ignore.
They don't seem to know each other, do they?
Is this our first time meeting?
Why is he staring at me?
Gu Yao turned his head in confusion, meeting Xun Mo's scrutinizing eyes head-on without backing down.
Xunmo had been watching Gu Yao for a long time, looking at her exquisite and flawless profile. She thought she was being discreet, but she was caught off guard when she met those emerald eyes.
Clear and bright.
His heart skipped a beat, and he froze for a moment, feeling a sense of familiarity with those eyes.
There was even a strange bitterness in my heart.
It's like, it's like...
The treasures he had once lost reappeared before him.
But he couldn't remember where he had seen this Yuanliang of Yousu before.
Xunmo didn't care about the embarrassment of being caught peeping; he just stared straight at Gu Yao, as if trying to see through this person who was making his first public appearance.
Gu Yao didn't seem to care much. He didn't lose his composure at all despite being stared at like that. He raised the wine glass on the table and waved it at Xun Mo from afar.
Let's drink this first as a sign of respect!
His movements were fluid and graceful, demonstrating that he had mastered the social skills of those seasoned veterans.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xunmo was taken aback by this action, but he couldn't remain silent. He wasn't one to be impolite, so he raised his wine glass and took a small sip as a return gesture.
Seeing that Gu Yao was actively interacting with Xun Mo, the people nearby who were itching to join in exchanged glances and then walked towards Gu Yao.
I plan to make an appearance in front of this young master Su, just to get acquainted with him.
Gu Yao's eyes held an ambiguous smile, his fox-like eyes full of interest, but he made no further move.
They never refused anyone who came forward to offer them a toast.
Xunmo watched as the person surrounded by admirers smiled, chatted happily with a group of people, and took care of everyone with ease, his expression calm and composed.
It's like he's glowing.
Like the high-hanging sun, proud and blazing.
They were born to be this proud.
He lowered his eyes slightly, clutched his chest, and felt the nameless, violent beating of his heart. An unknown emotion began to ferment within him.
Having returned from my tribulations in the mortal realm, the missing piece in my heart was completely filled at this moment.
Xunmo was not a fool; on the contrary, he was an extremely intelligent person.
He knew that the Celestial Clan and the North Sea Dragon Clan were related by marriage, and therefore should unite against external threats.
The increasingly declining Sufo clan is the biggest thorn in the side of both clans.
He should keep his distance from people with Su.
If you want to continue living a carefree life as a wealthy idler, you can't get involved in these things.
This is not something that a second prince with no real power should be concerned with.
He knows all this.
But the intense tremor in his heart clearly told him that he had fallen in love with this person who should have been a stranger.
I've fallen for this charming young man, Yuan Liang.
He knew that something must have affected him during his tribulation.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
After all, he has found his lost heart.
Even if he had forgotten everything from the past, he still couldn't forget the feeling of being moved at first sight.
Since we can't avoid it, let's accept it calmly.
Even competing with my own cousin wouldn't be a problem.
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Xunmo's eyes.
Having figured it out, he smiled with relief and looked back at the person in the center of the crowd.
It remains as dazzling and beautiful as ever.
Taking a deep breath, Xunmo tidied his appearance, his expression tense and restrained, like a young boy about to confess his love to his sweetheart, and stepped forward with proper steps.
Gu Yao caught a glimpse of Xun Mo out of the corner of his eye, turned his head in confusion, wondering what this second prince of Beihai was doing here.
Xunmo didn't mind and smiled slightly, "I have a connection with Su Yuanliang. Would you be so kind as to get to know me? I am Xunmo, the Second Prince of Beihai."
Those slightly misty blue eyes stared straight at Gu Yao, a smile playing on their lips, giving them an extremely kind appearance.
Those who managed to find the right moment to get close to Gu Yao weren't fools, and they all understood the underlying meaning in Xun Mo's words—that he wanted to get rid of them.
Since they had already accomplished their mission of becoming familiar with Young Master Su, they wisely made excuses to leave one after another.
For a moment, Gu Yao's surroundings became much quieter.
Gu Yao also looked up at Xun Mo, his eyes flashing with an ambiguous light. This second prince is an acquaintance, isn't he?
Despite his doubts, he smiled gently and said, "Of course, it's my honor."
Upon hearing the satisfactory answer, Xunmo's smile grew even brighter. He gestured for Gu Yao to sit down.
It's like they're about to have a long, heart-to-heart talk.
Gu Yao raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xun Mo with a half-smile, and returned the greeting without refusing.
The two were chatting enthusiastically, but Qing Yan caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of his eye and felt only annoyed.
He wished he could throw his cousin out of the Heavenly Palace.
Looking at the people surrounding him, he couldn't act recklessly, after all, he represented the face of the Celestial Clan today.
Struggling to suppress the surging agitation in his heart, Qing Yan dealt with the group of people in front of him perfunctorily, but all his attention was drawn to the two people chatting happily in the corner.
Qing Yan didn't find a chance to interrupt their conversation. Gu Zhen, who had been missing for a long time, returned in a hurry. His face showed no trace of the joy he had shown before, but instead, it was filled with a raging anger.
She strode forward, grabbed Gu Yao, and tried to pull him away. Gu Yao turned his head in confusion, wondering what was wrong with his sister.
You were happy before you left, weren't you?
Gu Zhen remained silent.
Upon catching sight of Xunmo, the anger surging in her eyes was like oil on a raging fire, almost about to explode, but for some reason she suppressed it in the end, maintaining a facade of politeness.
She merely nodded slightly, her gaze towards Xunmo wary, her voice icy, "Your Highness, I'll take my brother with me now."
The words were distant and cold.
This left Gu Yao and Xun Mo completely bewildered.
Gu Yao knew that although his older sister was a bit unconventional, she was not an impolite person. He had never heard of any conflict between her and Xun Mo before, so why was she so hostile?
Xunmo was completely innocent and had no idea what he had done to offend Princess Yousu.
However, there wasn't much time left for the two to react.
As soon as Gu Zhen finished speaking, she didn't even spare Xun Mo a glance, and pulled Gu Yao out.
Gu Yao noticed that Gu Zhen was in a bad mood, nodded to Xun Mo, and looked apologetic.
Although Xunmo was puzzled, he didn't pay too much attention to Gu Zhen's attitude. He smiled gently at Gu Yao and shook his head reassuringly, indicating that he didn't care.
Gu Yao didn't say anything more and obediently followed her cousin away.
My older sister is still more important right now.
This was the first time he had ever seen Gu Zhen so angry.
I don’t know what happened.
Gu Yao's heart sank slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his lowered eyes.
If anyone lays a hand on his family, he will beat them so badly that even their own mother wouldn't recognize them.
He looked down and stared at Gu Zhen's hand, which was gripping his tightly. The unconscious increase in strength revealed the unease in Gu Zhen's heart.
It wasn't just unsettling; Gu Yao felt that Gu Zhen was like a volcano about to erupt.
The longer it's suppressed, the more violently it will erupt.
