Chapter 589 I am relieved
If Ranran didn't have a good memory, she would really forget this Qingjue, a child of destiny and a darling of the righteous path, a genius among the younger generation, who can be compared with Luo Jinghua.
Ranran thought about the saint's words again.
As long as you know Gu Qingjue's name, you can understand why he chose to leave the Saint... It can't be a super cliché plot in a storybook...
Ran Ran spoke uncertainly, "I guess you didn't reveal your identity when you were friends with him, and only revealed everything to him after you decided that he was the one..."
As Ranran spoke, he could actually see admiration in the saint's eyes.
The saint probably thought she was the worm in her stomach, but in fact she had just heard too many vulgar stories.
"One is the darling of the righteous path, and the other is the Saint of the Demon Realm. He stubbornly believes that there is no possibility between you two, so after much painful struggle, he resolutely leaves."
The saint's eyes seemed to be shining when she heard this, and she looked at Ranran as if she was looking at some rare treasure.
"Are you living in my heart?"
Ran Ran blushed and shook her head, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
"Is this really the case?"
The light in the saint's eyes dimmed. "It's almost certain, but his pain and entanglement may not be as much as you think."
"It only took him one night to decide he wanted to leave me."
Ran Ran was surprised. "In some ways, he is quite good."
Not only does he have the courage to make a decisive decision, but he can also withdraw directly without any reluctance after knowing what the saint can bring him.
The Saint smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen him."
Ranran didn't know whether she had become a close friend in the Saint's heart, but from what she learned from Bai Er, the Saint seldom smiled.
Her expression is always indifferent and unchanging.
But she was smiling and talking in front of her at the moment. Could it be that he really regarded her as Gu Qingjue's substitute...
Ran Ran asked out of caution, "How did you get along with Gu Qingjue before? Let me help you analyze it."
"Okay." The saint answered softly, and really began to recall that time carefully.
"I was very direct. I felt something different the first time I saw him, so I asked him directly if he was willing to stay with me."
Ran Ran's forehead twitched when he heard this. What a gender-swapped version of a domineering CEO from a fairy tale.
"He probably thought I was sick, and said he had something important to do, so he asked the girl to stop messing around."
"I told him that I was indeed ill and needed him to treat me. His face suddenly changed, like a huge black pot."
Ran Ran became more and more interested as he listened, "And then?"
"Then he started fighting me."
"what?"
The Saint said calmly, "He might have felt offended by me, and he told me several times not to talk nonsense. Although I like to see him talking while angry, I just wanted to take him back and tell the Demon Lord the good news."
"After several attempts failed, I just went for it."
Ran Ran opened his eyes wide, "You want to kidnap people?!"
The Saint said calmly: "Why not, I can do it."
Ran Ran was also frightened just by listening to this description, "Excuse me for a moment, where did the scene you described take place?"
"The Host Alliance." The Saint said calmly, "The Lord of the Demon Realm brought all the suitable people to me, but I didn't like any of them, so I left the Demon Realm to look for them myself. The Host Alliance was originally the first stop in my plan, but I was lucky. Not long after I arrived at the Host Alliance, I met Gu Qingjue." How lucky... Ran Ran was embarrassed, "Then you kidnapped someone else's most promising disciple in someone else's territory?"
"Is that so? I didn't think that much at the time."
"Gu Qingjue didn't want to go with me. He was very... fierce. He drew his sword and fought with me. I was afraid of hurting him and innocent people, so I was very restrained."
The Saint sighed and said, "But those people didn't understand my restraint. As soon as they saw that the person I was fighting was Gu Qingjue, they all attacked me."
Ranran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The saint was not only the most accomplished person in the world, she was also probably the most reckless person in the world.
"Gu Qingjue's reputation among the younger generation is probably no less than your reputation in the Demon Realm."
The Saint recalled carefully, "But the people who attacked me at that time were not just young people, there were also old men and women with gray hair and beards."
Ran Ran felt both amused and annoyed. "That's because Gu Qingjue is the rising star of the Host Alliance. I don't know how many people have high hopes for him. Maybe he will be the next leader of the righteous path."
"Not to mention his own sect, even if other sects saw someone attacking him, I'm afraid they would only be able to help."
The Saint sighed softly, "That was pretty much the situation at the time. Everyone helped him beat me."
"There were too many people who attacked me. I was afraid of hurting them by mistake, so I took Gu Qingjue away directly."

"Ah?" Ran Ran was stunned. "Just took him away like that? Why didn't you just..."
The saint seemed to have finally found someone to talk to. She fell backwards and landed right on the soft cushion. Her entire body, along with her fairy-like clothes, spread out on the ground.
"I was afraid of hurting him before, but given the situation at the time, if I didn't take him away, I was afraid more people would be hurt."
Ran Ran didn't know how to respond for a moment, "So in order not to hurt more people, you chose to hurt him?"
"This is the better choice." The saint's voice came from the ground, and Ranran didn't know how to understand this "better".
From her perspective, the Saint didn't seem to like Gu Qingjue that much, at least not like those domineering CEOs in the novels she knew, who would completely disregard the lives of others for the person they loved.
She also couldn't tell whether the saint's behavior or those of the domineering bosses was worse.
The Saint seemed to be friendly to most people, but for Gu Qingjue...
It was really an unexpected disaster.
Ranran didn't know why she asked this question.
"Does Gu Qingjue like you as much as you like him?"
The saint answered without hesitation, "I didn't like it at first, but later I liked it very much."
"He really, really hated me at first, but then he really, really liked me."
The Saint added, "He told me himself."
Ranran was shocked. Yes, Stockholm only had a name and definition in her world, but similar situations should happen in every world.
"You mean, not long after you kidnapped Gu Qingjue, he fell in love with you?"
"Love? I don't know if he fell in love with me, but he did like me, if he wasn't lying." The Saint said lightly: "And it wasn't not long after, I imprisoned him for a long time before he fell in love with me."
Ran Ran was almost stunned by what he heard. The imprisonment play that was inevitable between the two sides with such a huge difference in strength appeared as expected!
"Can I ask how you were imprisoned?"
The saint was lying on the ground, raising her white hands high. The fabric slid down her jade-like skin, revealing her slender white wrists.
"I tied him to me with a black iron chain."
"His cultivation level is still not enough to cut the chain, so I feel relieved."
