Chapter 123: A Bracelet Gift

Bai He ran in front of Gu He. "Let me go with you, Fourth Senior Brother. I guarantee I’ll make Sister Qi Yunfei look at you in a new light."

"Sister?" Gu He was quite surprised by that form of address.

Had Bai He mixed up the hierarchy?

"Yes, sister."

"You actually have the nerve to call her that. Your skin is really thick."

Bai He didn’t mind that it wasn’t exactly a compliment and instead explained, "Fourth Senior Brother, I call her sister because of you. You’re my senior brother, if I called her something else, wouldn’t that mess things up?"

After hearing this explanation, Gu He’s expression softened slightly.

"You really want to help me?"

Bai He nodded immediately, extremely sincere. "Of course, Senior Brother. I’m your junior brother, don’t you trust me?"

Gu He had stumbled quite a few times because of Bai He before, so he was naturally unwilling to agree so rashly.

But seeing Bai He like this now, he reluctantly nodded. "Fine, you can come with me. But if you dare to do anything that harms me, I will definitely show you the authority of a senior brother. At that point, begging for mercy won’t help you."

Bai He: ...

He didn’t believe that at all.

Everyone in Lingguang Sect knew that among all the elders, Gu He actually had the best temper.

Besides, how could he possibly bully him?

"Alright then, Fourth Senior Brother, we can go now."

Bai He agreed cheerfully.

In any case, agreeing or not didn’t make much difference.

Gu He felt uneasy in his heart as he led Bai He toward the place where True Person Qi Yunfei lived.

In another hour, True Person Qi Yunfei would be meeting all the people who had come to the Xueshan Sect.

Today, True Person Qi Yunfei had changed into a new outfit, which making her look especially radiant and charming.

It was impossible to tell her age.

She had always possessed a gentle and refined temperament, and she hadn’t been angered by what happened with Bai He yesterday.

When she saw Bai He and Gu He arriving together, she poured them both some tea she had just brewed.

"Gu He, Bai He, why have you come to see me at this time?"

Logically speaking, they would be meeting in an hour anyway, so there was really no need to make a special trip right now.

Bai He smiled awkwardly and his gaze drifting toward Gu He as he said, "Sister, it was my Fourth Senior Brother... He said he wanted to come see you."

Seeing Gu He’s awkward expression, it was better not to expect him to say it himself.

In this situation, Bai He felt that his timing in coming here was perfect.

"Oh? Is that so? Gu He, do you have something to discuss with me?"

Gu He glared at Bai He. "What are you still doing here? Why aren’t you leaving yet?"

What an ungrateful person!

Bai He was trying to help him, yet he didn’t appreciate it at all.

It wasn’t that Gu He was doing this on purpose; he simply wanted to speak a few words alone with Qi Yunfei.

With Bai He here, it was indeed inconvenient.

Bai He snorted lightly. "Fine, I’ll go. Fourth Senior Brother, be a little braver."

After Bai He left, Gu He sat down where Bai He had just been sitting.

He then looked at Qi Yunfei with some nervousness.

"This... this is for you."

After saying that, he hurriedly took out a box.

Qi Yunfei was slightly startled.

Seeing his uneasy and flustered appearance, she couldn’t help but smile. "You’re still the same as before."

Gu He felt a bit embarrassed. "I..."

Qi Yunfei opened the box right in front of him.

Inside was a very beautiful bracelet.

"Thank you. It’s very beautiful."

"Actually, I’ve wanted to give you this bracelet for a long time. I just never had the chance." Or rather, it wasn’t that he lacked the opportunity, he just lacked the courage.

Now, under Bai He’s encouragement, Gu He had finally come here and decided to give this bracelet, which he had treasured for many years to Qi Yunfei.

This bracelet had been crafted by his own hands from a piece of warm jade he had obtained by chance back then.

Due to the nature of her cultivation technique, although Qi Yunfei was very powerful, her constitution was weak.

This piece of warm jade could help regulate her body.

There was nothing on Qi Yunfei’s wrist.

She raised her hand and put on the bracelet Gu He had given her.

It fit perfectly.

"It’s very beautiful. I like it very much. Back then, I knew you had obtained a piece of warm jade, and I also knew you seemed to have made a bracelet. At that time, I wondered which young lady would be so fortunate as to receive a bracelet personally crafted by you."

"It was meant for you from the very beginning." Gu He had kept it carefully all this time and had never once thought of giving it to anyone else.

Qi Yunfei smiled faintly.

For a moment, Gu He was slightly dazed.

He remembered the first time he had seen her, he had still been very young, yet he had already felt that there could be no woman in this world more captivating than her.

But in her eyes, he was probably nothing more than a child.

Someone who had never truly grown up.

"Thank you," Qi Yunfei said again.

Gu He took a deep breath as if he had finally made up his mind. "Qi Yunfei, actually I... all these years... No, even from the very first time I saw you, I already..."

Qi Yunfei’s gaze was like a vast ocean as she looked at him, not interrupting what he was trying to say.

But at that moment, Gu He froze.

A faint smile rested on Qi Yunfei’s face. "If it’s inconvenient to say, that’s alright too."
