The sun and moon are both wrong: Starting with marrying Gongsun Ling

Chapter 73: They... used to have a good relationship, right?

1957... The battle of cause and effect... The consequences of all deeds... Disciples and descendants...

Gao Haoguang could not refute Lü Buyi's words, because they were indeed true.

He chose the future that is heading in now.

Undeniable.

But clearly, those behind Gao Haoguang have different opinions.

Hu Dasheng reached out a hand and tugged at his clothes, confirming that it really was him.

He spoke softly, but with a hint of surprise and delight, to Sister Miao, whose face was filled with helplessness:

"Xiao Gao..."

"Sister Miao, it really is Xiao Gao!"

As long as Gao Haoguang was there, Hu Dasheng was not afraid of anyone, so he looked at Lü Buyi, who was provoking his "little brother".

Feeling empowered again, she decided to stand up for Gao Haoguang:

"Hey, you there, don't be so arrogant. With me and Xiao Gao here, you'd better run away in a panic—"

"Otherwise, don't blame us if you get captured alive in a short while."

After speaking to Lü Buyi, she pulled Gao Haoguang, who was still lost in thought because of Lü Buyi's words, to her side and whispered in his ear:

"And, Xiao Gao..."

"Why waste your breath on him? Now that we have your backing, abundant resources, and sheer numbers, it's the perfect opportunity to avenge Xiao'an!"

Tiger Rope: I'm saying this wave, the advantage is on my side.

Gao Haoguang was speechless, unsure of what to say.

But after Hu Dasheng's outrageous antics, the knot in his heart didn't feel so heavy anymore.

"Capture me alive?"

Not far away, Lü Buyi's laughter echoed as Hu Dasheng's whispers faded away.

He seemed to find Hu Dasheng's words so amusing that he couldn't help but applaud and praise her.

"A fine ideal, a fine ambition."

"Let me think, the last person to speak to me like this was also the owner of your Thousand Machines Pavilion."

"I remember his name was Wumingzi, right?"

"Back then, she felt just like you, young girl, that she had two heads that she could lose."

Hu Dasheng immediately deflated, shrinking behind Gao Haoguang, with only one eye showing.

"Xiao Gao, you'll protect me, right?"

She asked Gao Haoguang in a low voice.

Then, Hu Dasheng saw Gao Haoguang shake his head helplessly at her.

Sure enough, Xiao Gao still loves himself.

Wait, shake your head?

Eh?

Tiger Rope was stunned, his big eyes filled with confusion.

"I am only able to temporarily leave the false world and return to reality by relying on his supernatural powers to conceal my true identity."

"I'm afraid I can't help you much with capturing him alive, Big Rope."

As Gao Haoguang spoke, he gave her a helpless look.

Then, he even kindly pushed Hu Dasheng, shielding her in front of him so that she could face the smiling Lü Buyi directly.

"So, it's up to you to avenge Xiaohai. Miao Jie and I will be cheering you on from behind."

Hu Dasheng couldn't remember what Sister Miao said to him with a worried expression.

All she remembered was that when she came to her senses, she was standing right in front of Lü Buyi.

"Senior, is it possible to reconcile?"

She's such a lively girl.

How come I never noticed before that the girl next to Xiao Haoguang is such an interesting type?

"So silly and naive, like a child who never grew up—"

"But she's not quite the same as Qingqing."

Lu Buyi chuckled and looked at Gao Haoguang: "How did you come to take a liking to this girl?"

"When you were little, how come I never noticed you liked this style?"

Gao Haoguang turned his head away, not wanting to answer his question.

It's all thanks to Hu Dasheng's commotion.

The atmosphere between Lü Buyi and Gao Haoguang was finally no longer so tense and full of gunpowder.

Or it should be put this way: all the elders in the world see their younger generation bringing a girl like Hu Dasheng to see them.

They would all end up like Lü Buyi now.

"It seems like nobody's paying attention to me anymore..."

"A good opportunity..."

Hu Dasheng didn't listen to what the two were saying; she only knew that she had finally found a chance to back down.

Thus, amidst Lü Buyi's low chuckle and Gao Haoguang's facepalm,

She hid next to Jinmiao again.

Shouting loudly, "Gao Haoguang is disloyal! Sister Miao, protect me!"

"Little Jiangzi didn't leave any children for me to play with because he had absolutely no interest in love and romance."

"All he thinks about all day long is how to kill the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries."

"And Xiao Haoguang, are you not leaving any descendants because you're afraid they'll inherit this girl's personality?"

Gao Haoguang could only sigh at Lü Buyi's teasing:

"Can you please stop talking about her?"

"You might as well ask me where the Turtle Immortal is hiding—"

Lü Buyi spread his hands: "Won't we just come back to the same thing in the end? After all, you can't say it."

"Instead, let's talk about this girl; at least that would give me some amusement and make me laugh."

"Alright, I can tell from your sour face that you don't want to talk to me anymore."

"My men have gone back, and I've had my fun."

"Let's part ways amicably, that's all."

Lu Buyi hadn't really expected to have any meaningful conversation with Gao Haoguang.

Just as he said at the beginning, he only called him out because he was bored.

So when the only topic the two could talk about, the tiger rope, came to an end.

He was about to leave.

He gained a lot from this battle, and he will review it when he gets back to see if there are any details he may have missed.

Let's speculate on what Jiang Mingzi will do over the next 1,500 years.

But just before he turned to leave.

Gao Haoguang called out to him—

"How long can the 'falsehood returning to truth' technique you just used to conceal causality from me last?"

Lu Buyi stopped his movement as he was about to turn around, but had not yet taken a step.

"That depends on what you want to do with this time, and also on my mood..."

"What's wrong? Haven't been out for years? Want to visit Ma Chao's grave to pay your respects?"

"If that's the case, I can give you an hour if I see fit."

"Or perhaps you're trying to use this opportunity to preserve your bloodline?"

"I'll consider it. Giving you two or three hours isn't out of the question."

Gao Haoguang didn't say what he was going to do; he simply looked at Lü Buyi and said softly:

Give me a day, a day and a night.

"I see. Is it to save that kid from Penglai?"

Lü Buyi understood immediately, and then gave his answer without hesitation:

"Without your help, his injuries are likely to be very serious."

"so--"

"I refuse."

Vice-General Wan Ye asked quite seriously, "To me, he might not even be considered trouble."

"But since it was the result of my work, I naturally have no reason to let you go and rescue him."

"Little Haoguang, why should I give you a whole day?"

Then, the next moment, what Gao Haoguang said made Lü Buyi almost think he had misheard.

He said, "Please."

"What...did you just say?"

Lu Buyi frowned and asked in surprise, while Gao Haoguang looked at him quietly and repeated it.

He said, "Grandmaster—"

"Please."

.

Not long after, watching Lü Buyi's departing figure and Gao Haoguang busy himself with Haishan's crippled body, he was deeply moved.

Hu Dasheng seemed to realize something.

"They used to...have a good relationship, right?"
