Chapter 1067: Very complicated feelings (1/2)

Granny You had finally remembered Gu Qishao.

“Feiye, something’s happened to Sir Gu Qi![1] Quick, come with me!” Granny You urged.

Long Feiye wasn’t concerned, but Han Yunxi grew anxious. “What’s wrong with him?”

Gu Qishao had the Moye sword spirit and poisons to protect himself, so it shouldn’t be a challenge for him to deal with the three Heretical Sword Sect elders!

“I don’t know either, you should all just come with me.” Granny You said as she retraced her steps with everyone following. But they hadn’t gone far when they saw Gu Qishao heading towards them, seemingly unharmed.

“What’s happened to him?” Long Feiye finally asked.

“When I was bringing him over before, he suddenly lost his wits and stood there unmoving. He didn’t react no matter what I did. But why, now…” Granny You looked over, puzzled. Gu Qishao seemed to be completely normal.

Long Feiye didn’t speak, but as Gu Qishao came closer, the rest of the group realized something was wrong. Granny You and the two Honored Elders didn’t sense much, but Gu Qishao’s companions noticed it right away. Rather, it was his gaze on Long Feiye that was out of the ordinary! If this was any other day, Gu Qishao would never stare Long Feiye straight in the face. At least, not eye-to-eye--he’d tried to loom over him or glance at him with disdain. But this Gu Qishao hadn’t shifted his eyes from Long Feiye a second the entire way here. Those long, narrow eyes contained indescribable feelings within them.

Han Yunxi was very displeased by the staring. She unconsciously drew closer to Long Feiye and grabbed his hand. [2] Although puzzled, Long Feiye remained calm and stared back at Gu Qishao, whose gaze didn’t waver.

“What are you looking at?” Long Feiye asked coldly.

“Long Feiye, I...why am I…” Gu Qishao seemed lost. “When I look at you, why do I feel kind of…” He thought for a while, but couldn’t finish the sentence. Long Feiye’s face had already turned gloomy, but Han Yunxi couldn’t take it anymore.

“Kind of what? What’s wrong with you?”

“Kind of…” Gu Qishao tried again, before he managed to blurt out, “Just...some very complicated feelings!”

Everyone froze.

What do you mean, “some very complicated feelings?” Why does it sound...so suggestive?

As the silence stretched on, Gu Qishao met Long Feiye’s eyes, his devastatingly beautiful face still lost in a confused yet happy haze. Meanwhile, Long Feiye was wearing the ugliest expression of his life! He had seen his share of adoring gazes, but this was the first time a man had given him such an ambiguous look. Was Gu Qishao trying to flirt with him? Or provoke him? He had to be sick of living!

As Gu Qishao continued his staring, Long Feiye unsheathed his sword--not Profound Frost, but the ancient sword Ganjiang. It had a temper of its own, but was now affected by Long Feiye’s feelings after falling under his control. Thus, the newly unsheathed blade was filled with strong killing intent.

In an instant, Gu Qishao turned immobile. Just like before, he was left staring blankly into space, his expression frozen on his face. The only difference was that he was now staring at the Ganjiang blade in Long Feiye’s hands. Everyone grew stunned by this development. Gu Beiyue pushed Gu Qishao, but he didn’t react.

“It was just like that,” Granny You said, “He was standing just like this.”

“Could it be…” Han Yunxi trailed off. “Because of the…”

As if realizing the reason, Long Feiye suddenly sheathed Ganjiang again. Immediately, Gu Qishao regained his senses, completely clueless as to what had happened. Once again, puzzlement crept onto his features. Long Feiye, Han Yunxi, and Gu Beiyue exchanged looks as if discovering a great secret. Granny You and the two Honored Elders were completely in the dark.

With interest, Long Feiye examined Gu Qishao from head to toe and unsheathed Ganjiang again. Immediately, Gu Qishao turned immobile once more. When Long Feiye replaced the sword in its scabbard, Gu Qishao recovered his senses. After repeated the tests yielded the same results, Gu Qishao finally cried out after Long Feiye sheathed his sword for the nth time.

“Enough!”

He had finally found his way here after his head cleared up, but was now muddle-headed after all of Long Feiye’s fiddling. All he felt was repeated instances where he lost control of his body. But it was rare for Long Feiye to find a game that amused him, so he ignored Gu Qishao’s entreaty and unsheathed Ganjiang again. Instantly, Gu Qishao went back to staring blankly.

Long Feiye was very quick in sheathing and unsheathing his weapon, leaving Gu Qishao torn between moments of clarity and confusion. His head began to get woozy from all the switching as he grew unsteady on his feet. Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue had long been reduced to laughter, while Head Honored Elder had to ask, “Feiye, what’s going on?”

Finally, Long Feiye sheathed his sword for good, giving Gu Qishao back his wits. Before he could explain, Gu Qishao had already summoned Moye and snarled, “What kind of crap is this? This old man doesn’t want it anymore!”

Even he could figure out that this was the Moye sword spirit’s fault. After sensing the Ganjiang sword spirit, it had stolen away his soul and even turned him into Long Feiye’s toy. Every time the Ganjiang sword showed up, Gu Qishao lost his mind, but every time the Moye sword spirit showed itself, Ganjiang didn’t budge because it was under Long Feiye’s control!
