Free Web NovelChapter 1735: Chapter 1345: I Grant You, This Love May Await
As soon as Zhou Mu said this, even Gu Changsheng, who was hiding nearby and peeking, felt a bad premonition in his heart, and almost couldn’t help but shout out!
What do you mean that’s just what you think is enough!
Zhou Mu, that’s enough!
What on earth are you saying? What exactly do you mean?
Gu Changsheng, hiding in the darkness, tightly clenched his fists, forcing himself not to go out!
At this moment, Shi Wujue, who was lying on the ground, also turned to look at Gu Changsheng. His breathtaking face was full of suspicion and uncertainty. It seemed he had thought of something, opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but in the end, he held back and said nothing!
Silence!
Also waiting!
Gu Changsheng was waiting for his own evildoer to keep quiet, while Shi Wujue perhaps was waiting for him to speak out...
No matter what they thought, on this vast grassland, after a brief silence, there was some movement again. Zhou Mu’s tall figure slowly stood up from the ground, moving leisurely, exuding an indescribable elegance, as if it wasn’t him who had been lying on the ground just now...
The scenery is as beautiful as a painting, and the man is more charming!
Standing up, Zhou Mu slowly turned his head, looked at Shi Wujue, who was still lying on the ground without the slightest movement, and his god-like face was calm as ever, his voice deep and mellow like aged wine, as he slowly spoke, "Shi Wujue, your admiration, to her, was always a dead knot. The reason why this knot became a dead knot is because the one who can untie this dead knot is me, not her!"
It’s him!
It’s always been him!
Because of his existence, no matter how much Shi Wujue gave, no matter how much affection he offered, it was destined not to receive the slightest response from that little woman!
Everything, only because of his existence!
Almost in an instant, everyone present understood why Zhou Mu had just said, the bell must be untied by the one who tied it, and that person who tied it is him!
Indeed, he blatantly declared that he is the one who can untie the dead knot!
But, so what?
Gu Changsheng, hiding in the darkness, looked at the silhouette bathed in moonlight under the jade tree of Qiong Branch with disbelief...
Shi Wujue’s expression was no different from that of Gu Changsheng!
So what?
Zhou Mu, even if you say you are the crux, so what?
What do you ultimately intend?
The reason why you are the one who tied the bell and the one who can untie it, is all because you and Shi Wujue admire the same person, isn’t it?
Would you give up?
Would you let someone else have it?
Would you?
No, you wouldn’t!
There’s almost no need to ask, without waiting for Zhou Mu to reply, everyone present knew this answer!
No!
Deep affection does not betray, that’s the case for Gu Changsheng, even more so for Zhou Mu, and equally so for Shi Wujue!
This is the biggest dead knot between the three of them!
Because no one will retreat, and no one will give up!
Therefore, what Zhou Mu said about this, was the same as saying nothing. He is indeed the one who tied the bell, and the one who could untie it, but simultaneously, he is the person least likely to unravel it!
Shi Wujue’s deep eyes, looked towards Zhou Mu, full of flickering uncertainty!
There was comprehension, but also dimness...
Wanting to ask, so what then?
But in the end, he didn’t ask!
Lying on the ground, Shi Wujue slowly closed his eyes, shutting out the night in front of him, and also shutting out Zhou Mu!
Even knowing that the crux was Zhou Mu, so what?
Just like before, none of them wished to break the stalemate; it was originally a dead knot!
Shi Wujue shook his head, not opening his mouth, because speaking more was useless!
A night breeze blew by, causing the prairie grass to ripple like waves...
Zhou Mu’s gaze shifted from Shi Wujue and returned to the deep night...
Just when Gu Changsheng thought, his own evildoer said all this, probably just wanted to flaunt his victory, after all, Shi Wujue was considered their benefactor, and if they were to start a fight, it wouldn’t look good when spoken of...
Zhou Mu spoke again!```
This time, his voice was still deep, but unlike before, Zhou Mu’s voice carried a hint of uncertainty...
As if he were talking to himself...
"Shi Wujue, in this world, it’s not just you; I have never thought of making things difficult for her, neither has this king! This king never thought that his existence would become the reason for her distress..."
As he spoke, Zhou Mu took a step forward...
Another step!
After three steps, Zhou Mu’s departing figure paused slightly, not turning back. After a few seconds of standing still, he sighed and spoke again, "So, Shi Wujue, this king promises you, this feeling can wait..."
After saying this, Zhou Mu’s tall figure transformed into a stream of light and swiftly flew into the distance...
His actions were abrupt and hasty, as if afraid of his own regrets, with a posture quite like an escape in disarray!
Even Gu Changsheng thought she had misheard!
But Shi Wujue, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly sat up as if struck by lightning, his entire body stiff and rigid, his face filled with unprecedented shock, a mix of bewilderment, delight, and an uneasy disbelief...
"This king promises you, this feeling can wait..."
Repeated in a wooden, incredulous manner, Shi Wujue sat on the ground, letting the grazing grass beside him be blown onto him by the night wind, murmuring to himself...
This king promises you, this feeling can wait!
Hearing this sentence from Shi Wujue’s mouth once more, Gu Changsheng’s figure stiffened as if struck by lightning, her reaction no different from Shi Wujue’s, except that her face lacked any joy...
Should she be happy?
Should she be delighted?
Her evildoer promised Shi Wujue, this feeling can wait!
Should she be happy?
Her man told another man that his feelings could wait, should she, as the woman being waited for, be happy?
No!
She was not happy; more accurately, her heart felt somewhat empty and lost!
Somewhat at a loss!
"Zhou, do you even know what you’re saying? Explain yourself clearly to this City Lord!"
And as Gu Changsheng was lost in thought, Shi Wujue, who had been sitting on the ground, sprang up, shouting, his entire being like an arrow leaving the bow, chasing in the direction Zhou Mu had departed...
Zhou Mu left, leaving behind a ’this feeling can wait,’ and he left...
Shi Wujue chased after him, whether feeling a sense of being given charity or something else, Gu Changsheng didn’t know and didn’t want to know...
Watching the backs of the two disappear from her view, Gu Changsheng’s figure slowly stepped out of the darkness, emerged into the open air, and slowly walked to the place Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue had just been lying...
Blankly staring in the direction they departed, Gu Changsheng’s mind went blank!
All thoughts, all cleverness, in this instant, turned to bubbles and vanished...
She suddenly didn’t know why she appeared here at all, knowing full well why Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue were here, why did she appear here? And why did she hear these words...
Her heart was swept by emptiness and confusion in an instant, leaving Gu Changsheng at a loss, not knowing where to go...
Just as Gu Changsheng stood there, lost and dazed, like a soul lost, a hunched, sneaky figure slowly approached her...
Deeply trapped in bewilderment, Gu Changsheng did not seem to notice at all, remaining unresponsive...
"Hehehe! Luckily, this old man ran fast; I told you, these two perverted kids, even if they were hit by the Fly-head Green Soft Muscle Powder, wouldn’t stay calm for long, wouldn’t they? If this old man ran any slower, I’d definitely be caught and harshly retaliated against! Hehehe..." The Medicine Immortal Old Man pointed in the direction Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue left, speaking with a face full of smugness, "Changsheng Melon Baby, isn’t this old man amazing? So foresighted?"
"Yes..." Hearing the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s words, Gu Changsheng replied absentmindedly...
"Isn’t it? This old man also thinks I’m really clever. If this old man hadn’t come back, how would I have seen such a good show?" Raising his brows at his unworthy pupil, the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s old face was full of smugness!
Hearing his words, Gu Changsheng finally snapped back to her senses, giving the Medicine Immortal Old Man a glance, her brows furrowing, "Cleverness leads to foolishness; you shouldn’t have come back!"
"Heh! This old man came back for a reason! If I hadn’t returned, I would’ve missed out on such a fine drama, no less exciting than a fight, wouldn’t I?" The Medicine Immortal Old Man said, looking at Gu Changsheng with a disapproving face, "Changsheng Melon Baby, it’s better to share joy than enjoy it alone; keeping it all to oneself is not right! How can you be so selfish?"
"Because the one giving you joy is me!" Gu Changsheng raised her hand, pointing to herself, looking at the Medicine Immortal Old Man with eyes full of helplessness.
Indeed!
The show that made the Medicine Immortal Old Man so joyful was one from which Gu Changsheng could derive no joy or cheer!
Because she was one of the players within the drama!
Although she hadn’t stepped onto the stage, and seemingly it had nothing to do with her, she was, in truth, a real player within the drama!
Gu Changsheng was no actor and couldn’t play the game of entertaining relatives with costumes; she truly didn’t want the Medicine Immortal Old Man to see such a drama!
However, no matter whether she wanted to be seen or not, the drama unfolded, right under her nose, right in front of her!
As an actor within the drama, she neither stepped on stage nor had the power to steer the plot, but merely appeared momentarily on the main line of this drama, ultimately receiving an entirely unexpected result...
Her gaze, from start to finish, stayed in the direction Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue left, Gu Changsheng’s bright little face dim and listless...
