Gu Jue hadn't expected that when Lu Sangjiu told him to wait a moment, she was actually going to find him help.
He stared, a little stunned, at the sincere smile on her face, and a corner of his heart gradually softened...
'Suddenly, he felt that whether she liked him or not wasn't really that important anymore.'
'Even as just a friend, he could still feel the warmth and strength she brought him.'
After a moment, he let out a soft laugh. He didn't say anything more, just a simple, "Alright... thank you."
Before long, Feng Lin and Chi Yan arrived, ready to go.
Lu Sangjiu exchanged a few more words with them. Gu Jue was anxious to go save his people, so they didn't delay any further, and the three of them departed together.
Luo Linlang, who had watched the entire exchange, let out a soft sigh after they left. "He's such a good man. Little Junior Sister, why are you being so stubborn? Why reject Gu Jue just to get tangled up with that Buddhist Practitioner?"
