Chapter 1369: Waiting for your return

Chapter 1369 Waiting for your return

Gui Xiao clasped his hands behind his back, his stern face looking a bit unfathomable under the light. He walked slowly to the table and stared at Lin Fan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate everything about him. Then, he shook his head gently and said in an almost regretful tone: "Actually, I learned about it from this letter."

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a letter from the table. The envelope was ordinary, but it exuded an indescribable majesty. In Gui Xiao's hands, the letter was like a secret door that had been opened, pointing to the past and present that Lin Fan had always wanted to hide.

When Lin Fan heard this, he felt as if he had been hit in the head with a stick, and his whole body was stunned. His face instantly turned pale, and his eyes subconsciously avoided Gui Xiao's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. A helpless feeling of being stripped naked and standing in front of everyone emerged in his heart, making him almost unable to breathe.

He immediately took the letter and opened it with trembling hands. Suddenly, the expression on his face became more and more exciting, changing rapidly like a color palette. From initial shock, to anger, to helplessness and acceptance, every emotional change was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into his heart.

 It turns out that everything that happened to him was immediately reported to Guixiao by Sigisius in the form of a letter. Some of his previous covert actions, secret correspondence with that woman, and even his experience in the Forest of Death were all recorded in detail in this letter. Lin Fan felt like an onion being peeled open, with every layer clearly visible to Guixiao.

 He gritted his teeth secretly, and an unknown anger arose in his heart. This Sigius, I thought he was just a simple information dealer, but I didn't expect that he would be Gui Xiao's informant. No wonder he was not shocked at all even though he knew that he had been promoted to a four-star beast master. It turned out that he had known about it for a long time. Damn it! He cursed in his heart, and at the same time regretted his previous naivety.

The content of the letter was like a mirror, allowing him to see clearly how invisible he was in front of the ghost roar. Every word was like a needle piercing his heart, making him feel pain in his bones. He knew that from now on, he would have no secrets left in front of Gui Xiao.

Gui Xiao watched Lin Fan's expression change and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart. He knew that doing so would be cruel to Lin Fan, but it was a choice he had to make. He needed to know everything about Lin Fan to determine whether this person was worthy of his trust and cultivation. But now it seems that Lin Fan did not disappoint him.

He smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a hint of apology and comfort in that smile. He said to Lin Fan profoundly: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. If you have no ulterior motives, why should you worry about me knowing this?" ." His tone was calm and gentle, as if he was telling Lin Fan: I don't want to hurt you, I just want to get to know you better.

"I don't have any objections." Lin Fan defended somewhat feebly, feeling that his words seemed so feeble in front of this shrewd man. He felt sweaty in his heart, secretly regretting his previous gaffe. Indeed, if you really had different intentions, you would have had many opportunities to escape on your way back, so why would you throw yourself into a trap and come here to look for Guixiao?

 He looked up at Gui Xiao, trying to find a glimmer of trust and understanding in the other person's eyes. However, Gui Xiao's gaze was still deep and elusive, as if he could see through every corner of his heart.

"I'm just saying what if, you don't have to get too excited." Guixiao said calmly, with a hint of comfort in his tone. He knew that Lin Fan was a smart man, and he believed that he would not see the wrong person with his eyes. However, some things must be said clearly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

Lin Fan snorted. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he also knew that Guixiao had a point. He took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and then said solemnly: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I really need to go to Mooney City for something. I hope you can wait for me for a while."

His tone was firm and sincere, with a determined light shining in his eyes. He knew that this trip to Mooney City was of great significance to him. It was not only related to the safety of the woman, but also an important test of his strength and determination. Guixiao glanced sideways at Lin Fan, seeming to be evaluating the authenticity of his words. He was silent for a while, and then asked slowly: "How long does a period of time mean?"

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "About ten days." The reason why he said this was because he already had a preliminary plan in mind. He knew that ten days might not be a long time for Guixiao, but it was enough for him to accomplish many things.

Gui Xiao nodded slightly and said nothing more. His eyes stayed on Lin Fan for a moment, and then slowly moved away. He knew that Lin Fan was a man of his own opinions, and once he decided something, it was difficult to change it. Moreover, he also believed in Lin Fan's strength and judgment, and believed that he could handle his own affairs well.

The room fell into silence again, with only the sound of their breathing intertwining in the air. Lin Fan waited nervously for Gui Xiao's reaction, not knowing whether he would agree to his request. Gui Xiao seemed to be thinking about something, and the expression on his face was unpredictable.

 After a while, Gui Xiao finally broke the silence. He looked up at Lin Fan, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, "Okay, I can wait for you for ten days." His tone was firm and decisive, as if he was making an important decision.

Lin Fan suddenly felt happy when he heard this. He knew that Gui Xiao's agreement was of great significance to him. It not only meant that he could go to Mooney City to find the woman, but it also meant that he had Gui Xiao's trust and support. This will undoubtedly be a huge boost to his next plans and actions.

“Thank you, Guixiao.” Lin Fan said sincerely, his eyes shining with gratitude. He knew that the reason why Gui Xiao agreed to his request was not because of how reasonable or important his request was, but because Gui Xiao believed in him and supported him. This trust and support means more to him than anything else.

  In the following time, the two talked about some things about cultivation and experience. Gui Xiao gave Lin Fan a lot of valuable advice and guidance, which benefited him a lot. Lin Fan also asked Gui Xiao about some of his doubts and problems, and received many valuable answers and revelations.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day Lin Fan left. This morning, the sun shines into the room through the window, and the air is filled with fresh breath. Lin Fan stood in front of the window, took a deep breath, and felt that his mood became particularly comfortable.

 He turned back to look at Guixiao and found that he was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed looking at him. The two people's eyes met in the air, as if there was a silent understanding and understanding flowing between them.

 “I’m leaving.” Lin Fan said softly, with a hint of reluctance and expectation in his tone.

"Go." Gui Xiao nodded, with a faint smile on his face, "I'll wait for you to come back here." Although his voice was not loud, it was full of determination and strength.
