Gu Chi was indeed a very sensitive person.

After nearly a year, the image of Luo Qingshu and Huang Yang competing and being jealous in his mind had gradually become blurred, but at this moment, it became incredibly clear again because of this sour taste.

To be honest, there were quite a few girls who liked him. From middle school to university, he had received many love letters, so he didn't immediately associate it with Xia Ling.

But now he had to think about it.

The tone of Luo Qingshu's words just now had a hint of jealousy, just like Xia Ling when she was jealous.

Yes, just a hint.

But it was enough to sound the alarm for him.

Especially that name.

In theory, Luo Qingshu could be anyone.

The probability of it being someone who liked him was higher.

It could even be a man.

Gu Chi knew that the identity card could change the player's gender.

Similarly, Luo Qingshu could also be Xia Ling, or even Xia Leng.

If that was the case, wouldn't he have betrayed her in front of the young girl?

Gu Chi: "......"

A cold sweat quietly climbed up his forehead.

No, no, no, it couldn't be.

Stay calm!

If it really was Xia Ling, there was no reason for her to endure for so long. She should have rushed up and attacked him a long time ago.

And besides, there are over a million players in this game, how could it be such a coincidence?

Logic and probability made Gu Chi have a sense of luck, but he ignored the fact that emotions themselves had no logic.

Love can make people rational, but it can also make people lose their rationality.

To be honest, Xia Ling herself didn't know how she had endured for so long before, but that didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that she felt really satisfied seeing the rare panic on the face of a man who had always been calm and composed!

It was like drinking a sip of ice-cold cola in the middle of summer and then spraying it on Gu Chi's head.

Serves you right for messing around in the game, hmph!

Gu Chi didn't say anything, and Xia Ling didn't say anything either.

She understood Gu Chi very well. This guy was very smart, especially in this aspect. Just a slight hint was enough for him to immediately think of her.

That was enough.

No matter what Gu Chi asked next, Xia Ling had no intention of admitting that she was Xia Ling. It was like carrying out an execution, and the most difficult part was the time waiting to be beheaded. It would be easier to just chop off his head.

Anyway, the instance was almost over. After logging out, she would immediately take a taxi to Baishi Town and personally give Gu Chi a surprise.

As Xia Ling expected, Gu Chi spent a few minutes mentally preparing himself and spoke again.

If he was going to die, then let it be. The sooner he died, the sooner he would be reborn!

He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you Xia Ling?"

"Hmm?" Xia Ling looked confused. "Who is Xia Ling?"

Gu Chi: "......"

Xia Ling: "Is she very close to you?"

"Of course," Gu Chi said, "She is my girlfriend, I really like her."

"What about Xia Leng?" - Do you think you can deceive me by asking like this? No way!

And, do you think I will let you off just because you said that?

Impossible, at most, I can say that you have a little conscience.

Xia Ling naturally lowered her head to hide the sweetness in her heart and sounded disappointed, "Is that so? It seems like I don't have a chance then."

Gu Chi: "......"

Perhaps because he was too flustered, he couldn't tell whether the girl was acting or not for a moment.

Did he not notice it before when he wasn't flustered?

Gu Chi calmed himself down: "So who are you exactly?"

Even if she wasn't Xia Ling, she should at least have a name, right?

Xia Ling had already anticipated that Gu Chi would ask, so she continued to act disappointed and whispered, "I can't even be your woman in the game, so let's not say it, otherwise it will be awkward when we meet in the future."

Gu Chi: "......"

What she said was very true, and it really matched the psychological logic of secretly liking someone. Gu Chi wanted to believe that it was true, so he wouldn't be killed.

But just as he was about to convince himself that Luo Qingshu was not Xia Ling, Xia Ling wiped away some non-existent tears and suddenly said, "But it's okay, as long as I can see Brother Gu Chi take first place, this game won't be in vain for me."

As she spoke, the girl smiled as if she had untied a knot in her heart.

Gu Chi's heart thumped wildly: "What did you just call me?"

Xia Ling: "Gu Chi?"

Gu Chi: "No, you're missing two words."

Xia Ling looked puzzled: "Really? Did you mishear?"

Gu Chi: "......"

Damn it.

One moment it's true, the next moment it's not.

Is Luo Qingshu really Xia Ling?

Although Gu Chi knew that it was meaningless to be entangled in this question, whether it was or not, it was best if it wasn't, but he couldn't help but think about it.

Compulsive thinking is so damn deadly.

For the first time in his life, Gu Chi experienced what torture was.

Xia Ling also knew when to stop, and she immediately continued the previous topic and changed her address back: "Changge, if you save me this time, the False Emperor and the Demon-Hunting Bureau will definitely not let it go. We might be surrounded by the Dynasty."

Gu Chi looked at the girl with a complicated expression for a while, and finally suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart and said, "Are you referring to Qihuang Mountain?"

Xia Ling nodded, "They can't catch you, so they can only attack Qihuang Mountain to force you to show up."

With three Saints and over ten thousand elites, if Gu Chi didn't go, Qihuang Mountain would probably be crushed on the spot.

From the perspective of an NPC, the Demon-Hunting Bureau might not want to see the Dynasty and Qihuang Mountain destroyed, as it would be difficult to clean up the mess. But among them, there was a player, and players wouldn't care about that.

This battle could not only force Gu Chi to reveal himself, but also increase their reputation. The other party would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Ling continued, "You have offended several major sects before, and the Dynasty will probably invite them to help."

"Let them come," Gu Chi quickly returned to the game state and said indifferently, "If they come, we don't know who they will help."

"What do you mean?" Xia Ling was taken aback, "Are you guys putting on a show? Did you offend them?"

"I did offend them, but it was intentional," Gu Chi said.

Xia Ling: "?"

Offend them on purpose?

What kind of move was that?

Gu Chi didn't explain, he only said, "Your call for help this time not only made them panic, but also disrupted my plan. The good news is that it didn't cause too much chaos. Your identity can play a role and save me some trouble. So as compensation, you'll accompany me on a trip."

"Huh? Where to... Eh!"

Before Xia Ling could react, Gu Chi had already grabbed her wrist and left the inn.

What happened next was indeed as they had expected.

After manipulating the emperor to issue a decree, Li Zhiyi shouted out loud—

"Sword Sect's young master Li Zhiyi has been fortunate enough to become a saint, and is willing to lead all the disciples of the sect to assist the dynasty in suppressing the rebels!"

He gave himself a more prestigious title.

His words were filled with a sword aura that shocked the countless citizens of Capital City once again.

Another saint!

And it wasn't over yet.

As Xia Ling had said, Gu Chi had killed many cultivators in the battle at Qihuang Terrace, and had offended the major sects again over the Spirit Stones. How could Li Zhiyi miss this opportunity?

In addition, there were some minions of the Demon-Hunting Bureau that could be used.

Within a day, all the sects received documents from the court, inviting all cultivators to Qihuang Mountain to jointly deal with the rebel Gu!

Li Zhiyi didn't believe it.

With the full force of Northern Rivers, he couldn't take down Gu Changge?

Dan Yi Sect was the first to respond, followed by Drunken Immortal Valley, Hundred Flowers Sect... and other small and medium-sized sects like Disorderly Sword Gate.

Those who had grudges sought revenge, those who had complaints sought redress.

For a moment, the entire martial world, which had always been chaotic, all pointed their spears at the same target.

The only thought left in the minds of countless common people and independent cultivators was—

Gu Changge is finished!
