Chapter 120 Departure (1)
“You must have been quite hungry.”
At Yu Zhangming’s words, which seemed to gaze pityingly at a starving beast, Gu Yangjie choked on his food.
“…Gulp.”
“Eat slowly. Don’t choke.”
At the gentle words, which somehow reminded him of a parent, Gu Yangjie slowly turned his head to look at Yu Zhangming.
Beside him, he noticed Xin Maquan smiling.
-You’re dead later.
-No, Master! You, you can’t even laugh…!
-Shut up.
Putting down his chopsticks, Gu Yangjie glanced at Xin Maquan and rose from his seat.
Yu Zhangming asked.
“Are you done eating?”
“Yes. I’m skipping training today.”
“Even so, this banquet was held for you. How can the guest of honor casually leave his seat?”
Yu Zhangming held back Gu Yangji with a soft voice.
“If you can’t give a toast, at least stay seated. No one will scold you for skipping training today.” ”
Thud.
As Gu Yangji sat back down, Yu Zhangming gazed at the gradually fading sunset.
“Sometimes I find myself thinking…”
“What is it?”
“That you might be overworking yourself.”
At those words, Gu Yangji stared at Yu Zhangming for a moment, wondering if he was drunk, then continued.
“What else is a martial artist’s job but to constantly push oneself to the limit?”
“Lately, my dreams have been troubling.”
Yu Zhangming’s voice wavered.
“I dreamt of you, with a fierce expression, sweeping across the battlefield with swords in both hands. The killing intent was overwhelming.”
Gu Yangji briefly recalled his own days as a blood-thirsty warrior and shuddered.
