"Eh? Guhan, why are you here?
Am I starving to the point that I'm in a trance? "
Liunian Ling rubbed her eyes in disbelief. She had never imagined that Guhan would suddenly appear in front of her.
"Ling!"
Guhan's eyes finally regained their normal vision. Then, he saw Liunian Ling standing in front of him.
This made Guhan heave a sigh of relief in his heart.
Finding Liunian Ling meant that one of the objectives of this trip had been achieved.
However, this objective had been achieved a little too easily. He had only entered the trial grounds for about ten minutes and he had already successfully found Liunian Ling. Guhan had thought that he would have to search for at least ten minutes before he could see Liunian Ling.
"Hey, cut the crap. I'm asking you, do you have any food on you?"
Liunian Ling's face was full of surprise. She was so surprised that stars could be seen in her eyes. She stared at Guhan passionately as she asked.
"Of course I do."
Guhan nodded. In order to feed this adorable Qing Pin, he had restocked once before he set off and again at Fort Yueyang. Naturally, he had no lack of food on him.
Guhan took out some steaming hot rice, green vegetables, bright red braised pork, unopened ham sausages, a bag of beef jerky, and the last kilogram of crispy crisps from his dimensional pocket.
That's right. Guhan had also very considerately brought out bowls and chopsticks for Liunian Ling to use.
"That's all. You can eat …" Halfway through Guhan's sentence, Liunian Ling began to eat unceremoniously … She directly picked up the basin of braised pork, picked up the chopsticks, and put them in her mouth like dumplings. She took a random bite and stuffed it straight into her stomach.
Seeing that almost a quarter of the braised pork in the basin was gone, Liunian Ling reluctantly put down the braised pork. She slowly scooped up a bowl of rice and picked up some vegetables. At this moment, Liunian Ling finally displayed the elegance of a young lady from an aristocratic family.
When Liunian Ling put down her bowl and chopsticks, indicating that she really couldn't eat anymore, Guhan took back all the food.
"Isn't it a little embarrassing?!"
Seeing Guhan clean up the dishes like a housewife, Liunian Ling's face started to flush.
"I'm not like this usually, I'm just too hungry."
Liunian Ling tried her best to explain, "And I don't eat much, but not only have I not eaten for the past few days, I've also been fighting every day, so my appetite has suddenly increased. I usually only eat half … oh, about a third."
A quarter of a basin of braised pork, five whole bowls of rice, a kilogram of vegetables, and dozens of sausages.
Even if this was multiplied by a third, it would still be a frightening appetite.
"It's fine, I'm used to it. You don't even eat a third of what Qing Pin eats, you don't have to worry about it!" Guhan said seriously. He really wasn't complaining.
"Hey, Guhan, is this the young lady from the Liunian Aristocratic Family that you're trying to save?"
Yi Tian, who had been drinking and laughing at the two of them, immediately perked up when she saw that Liunian Ling had finally finished eating. She took the initiative to ask, "Hey, little girl, let me ask you, who is this person from the Liunian Aristocratic Family?"
"He's Ling's seventh generation ancestor!"
Liunian Ling answered without even thinking. It seemed that Liunian Ling had memorized the names of the Liunian Aristocratic Family's ancestors.
"You're Lady Yi Tian?" Liunian Ling had been so focused on eating that she didn't even look at Yi Tian.
Now that Yi Tian had taken the initiative to ask, Liunian Ling began to observe Yi Tian. She quickly recognized that this Sword Lady was Yi Tian.
"How did you recognize me?" Yi Tian asked curiously.
"The gourd on Lady Yi Tian's head is unique and unparalleled. Naturally, Ling recognized it with a single glance."
Liunian Ling smiled and bowed to Yi Tian, "The twenty-ninth generation descendant of the Liunian Aristocratic Family greets Lady Yi Tian."
This was the greeting that every sword wielder would use when meeting a new Sword Lady. However, this was only limited to natural born Sword Ladies. Man-made Sword Ladies could not receive this treatment. After all, man-made Sword Ladies had worrisome intelligence. Whether they had a soul or not was a matter of debate.
"Not bad, Gu Han. You've actually managed to synchronize with Lady Heavenly. When Lady Heavenly and I touched the hilt of Lady Heavenly's sword, Lady Heavenly didn't react at all. She didn't like me at all. How pitiful!" Fleeting Cold, who had eaten her fill, returned to her noisy personality.
She began to discuss Yi Tian with Guhan. To be honest, Liunian Ling was a little jealous of Guhan. This guy had actually succeeded with Lady Yi Tian. It seemed that not only had she suffered in coming to Changyang Mountain, she had also missed out on many interesting things.
"This is fate!" Guhan's reply was concise and comprehensive. Liunian Ling could not refute him.
As a result, Liunian Ling began to ask questions to Yi Tian. She pulled on Yi Tian's arm intimately and asked unhappily, "Lady Yi Tian, why didn't you choose me? Why did you choose this guy?"
"This is fate!"
Yi Tian sighed, "If I could choose, I would definitely choose you. How great is it? I've long wanted to become the Sword Lady of your Liunian Aristocratic Family. Unfortunately, fate makes fools of people. I always meet stupid swordsmen like you."
"Cough cough, Ling, what happened just now? Why are you so hungry? Didn't you just disappear for two weeks?"
Guhan felt that he had to interrupt this conversation. Otherwise, who knew how Yi Tian would ridicule him. For some reason, when Guhan saw Liunian Ling, he actually felt a little excited. He did not want to embarrass himself in front of Liunian Ling.
However, the question he had just asked was also a question in Guhan's mind. He could not understand why Liunian Ling was so hungry.
Due to the existence of the Dimensional Pocket, every sword-wielder would store enough food to last them for about a year in their Dimensional Pocket.
Some cautious sword-bearers would even store three or even ten years' worth of food.
Guhan really could not understand. Liunian Ling had only disappeared for two weeks. Why did it seem like she had not eaten for five or six days?
"Don't mention it. I'm so unlucky!"
Liunian Ling was infuriated by Guhan's question, "You don't know! That Sky Covering Jiandi is crazy! What kind of stupid test is he giving me?
He wants me to compete with a husky in terms of eating, and if I lose, I have to hand over all my food except for the nutrient solution … "
"So you lost?" asked Guhan.
"Yes, I lost!" Liunian Ling nodded, "How can a human eat more than a husky?"
"But don't you have the nutrient solution?"
"Only a husky would eat that kind of disgusting stuff."
"… …"
… …
"Hey, Guhan, thank you!"
After a moment of silence, Liunian Ling raised her head and looked into Guhan's eyes, and spoke with sincerity. Guhan could see tears in Liunian Ling's eyes. The young lady of the Fleeting Time Family is actually crying.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm not the only one who came to save you. Many people from Yan Jing City, Yuzhang City, and the other six base cities have all sent people to save you," Gu Han said calmly.
"They're here for this training ground."
Liunian Ling said with disdain, "They can't wait for me to die here. That would be the end of the Fleeting Time Family line. What a wonderful thing."
"Then have you ever thought that I'm here for the Trial as well?" Guhan retorted.
In truth, Guhan knew that he was not here because of Liunian Ling. He was here because of the promise he made to Yi Qing in the dungeon.
"Who cares about that? I know you're here, and you're the first person to find me!"
Liunian Ling shook her head, and leaned on Guhan's shoulder, "You don't know this, but I've always thought that I'm a strong person. It's only after I brought these people here that I realized how fragile I am.
I can be afraid, lonely, fearful, and hungry.
You might not believe it, but I've always thought that I'm the Chosen One before I came here. I'm the heir of the Fleeting Time Family, and these emotions will never appear on me. "
"Look, Guhan, I'm really happy to see you appear in front of me. The moment I saw you, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
Fate in this world is really wonderful. I went to Yuzhang City just for Yixian, but I didn't expect to meet you and Qing Pin. I didn't expect to pretend to be a couple with you. The most unexpected thing is that the first person I saw in this endless wait and hunger is you. Guhan, don't you think this is fate?
It's fate. "
"Is this the true feelings of a young girl?"
When Guhan heard Liunian Ling's words, even if his heart was ruthless, his whole body was stirred up.
No matter how stupid Guhan was, he could still hear the heart of a young girl from Liunian Ling's words.
Liunian Ling has fallen in love with me, Guhan is almost certain.
So, does Guhan like Liunian Ling?
Guhan can't answer this question himself. Before he met Qing Pin, Guhan could tell himself very clearly that he won't fall in love with anyone before he avenged his parents.
But now, Guhan doesn't know the answer.
Guhan's heart is no longer the cold, dark Guhan who can kill the fleeting time calendar. Guhan's heart has been half occupied by the winter sun.
Guhan knows how to care for others, think for others, take care of others' difficulties … Yes, he also knows how to complain. In short, Guhan can no longer tell himself very clearly that he wants to be a heartless person.
"Do I like Liunian Ling?"
Guhan asked himself this question again. Maybe he likes her a little, but more than that, he is at a loss.
…
"I don't know if this is fate, if this is fate!"
Finally, Guhan said firmly, "But I will definitely take you out, take you away from here."
When he said this, Artoria's appearance appeared in Guhan's mind for no reason. She was wearing a white wedding dress.
