Back then, Tang Rao ntioned that Geng Bucuo had a rather irritable nature and wasn't suited to live in a cold and shady direction. This courtyard was specially chosen by Tang Rao for Geng Bucuo, hoping the kid would bask in more sunshine.
He considered everyone, and alas, sotis people just don't know how to be content and grateful. Xiao Yue is like this, and Geng Bucuo doesn't seem to be any better.
"Lao Geng, I know you're in there, may I co in?"
Cha Xiangzi tentatively shouted twice from outside, but Geng Bucuo ignored him, sitting cross-legged on the ground like a soulless person, emptying jug after jug of wine into his stomach.
Burp!
He drank too much, his stomach felt bloated, and he didn't want to speak or move a step.
His eyes were fixed on the cup in his hand, as if he could see the reflection of his beloved woman through the wine.
Xiao Yue must be mad, otherwise how could she commit betrayal?
Geng Bucuo never thought that his beloved woman would one day betray, taking Tang Rao's elites to start anew on her own.
"Xiao Yue, you've abandoned , betrayed Tang Rao. Do you know what will beco of you? Even if I love you and let you go, do you think Tang Rao will?"
Geng Bucuo stared at the reflection in the wine glass, as if he saw Xiao Yue's distant face, and suddenly hurled the cup out the door, smashing it on the ground.
The cup shattered into pieces, just like Geng Bucuo's heart. Cha Xiangzi was just about to step into Geng Bucuo's gate when he felt danger coming and leaned back, narrowly avoiding a disaster.
"Lao Geng, is this how you welco a brother coming to see you?"
Cha Xiangzi's restless heart hadn't yet cald down; he thought, if the glass had hit him sowhere on his body, he might have ended up with a hole.
Cha Xiangzi shouted outside for so long, yet Geng Bucuo didn't hear, until he stood right in front of Geng Bucuo, and only then did the man's gaze carefully scrutinize Cha Xiangzi up and down.
"Why are you here, to see my joke?"
Everyone knew Geng Bucuo's temper, that during such tis they should stay as far away from him as possible. Cha Xiangzi knew he wasn't in a good mood, so why co to him now?
"Have I ever joked about you less? Tell , when have I ever joked about you?"
He didn't joke about Geng Bucuo, instead took out good wine and cups from the Space Ring, sat on the ground, and filled Geng Bucuo's cup, "Lao Geng, we've been brothers for so many years, is there nothing you can't say to ?"
He hoped more that Geng Bucuo could trust him, believe he was soone worth confiding in. Sotis, saying things that are bottling up inside can lighten one's heart a great deal.
"How can you talk about affairs of the heart? Saying it is futile, outsiders can never feel the pain inside . Cha Xiangzi, you haven't experienced it, so naturally you won't know what kind of feeling it is."
Geng Bucuo downed the wine in one gulp, feeling that drinking cup by cup was simply not enough; he might as well hug a jug, and if possible, he'd imrse himself in the jug, drowning himself in wine would be best.
"Lao Geng, you're a sensible person, sotis more than us. How can you be so confused at a ti like this?"
Xiao Yue had long said her favorite wasn't Geng Bucuo; all along it was just Geng Bucuo's unrequited love, his wishful thinking to sacrifice; no one forced him, who else can be blad?
"I just like her, even if she doesn't like , even if she betrayed the leader, left , and did so many heinous things, I, Geng Bucuo, just like her and can't let her go. Do you think I'm poisoned?"
Previously, Geng Bucuo was naïve; he didn't know what love was, but now he does, and ever since has been tainted by love's poison, never able to quit it for a lifeti.
"But she left, taking four hundred Kao Shan Sect brothers to establish themselves independently. Do you still want to follow her? What about the leader, what about Kao Shan Sect?"
Cha Xiangzi directly brought up Tang Rao and Kao Shan Sect, wanting Geng Bucuo to know that what he felt with Xiao Yue was illusory love, but if he chose to follow Xiao Yue, he'd lose not only love but also Kao Shan Sect and brothers who shared life and death with him for years.
Indeed, Geng Bucuo knew these truths well, it was precisely because he knew that his heart felt worse.
"But why must Xiao Yue, a woman, take so many people away? Staying in the Kao Shan Sect, she wouldn't have to worry about anything. The leader would provide endless resources and support such a cozy life, isn't that enough? Why leave Kao Shan Sect, why leave ?"
Speaking excitedly, Geng Bucuo poured wine into his mouth, but he drank too much, his tongue went numb, and he couldn't speak clearly, how could he expect his hand to obey his brain?
Carelessly, he lifted the jug over his head, letting a pot of wine drench him from head to toe, soaking every inch of his body.
"Lao Geng, everyone has their ambitions, love can't be forced. Xiao Yue has her choices, and since she left, she must have had this thought long ago. You know she isn't impulsive in actions."
Was Cha Xiangzi here to comfort Geng Bucuo?
As he spoke, he felt like he was defending Xiao Yue.
Alas, beneath brotherhood, hope the leader doesn't mind or misunderstand.
While Cha Xiangzi was enlightening Geng Bucuo, Xiao Yue was leading a group at the edge of North Island, selecting a spot for 400 people to rest.
"Vice Sect Leader, where exactly are we going? Didn't you say the leader has special tasks for us, why haven't any arrangents co down after we've reached the edge of West Island?"
Under the blazing sun, taking the unusual path, the brothers from Kao Shan Sect looked confused, they clearly heard Xiao Yue say they ca out for a special mission, but this departure seed more like an escape, like wilderness survival.
"Soon, very soon you'll know."
Before leaving Kao Shan Sect, Xiao Yue specifically instructed these 400 people to take off their Illusion City Glasses, saying that in top-secret operations, everyone must ensure information doesn't get leaked.
Everyone believed Xiao Yue's words, not only took off their glasses but even handed them to Xiao Yue for inspection.
In fact, they were rely afraid of leaks during the operation, to shift all the responsibilities off themselves.
"Vice Sect Leader, will the leader appear on this mission?"
Another person from Kao Shan Sect felt uneasy, trying to probe for Xiao Yue's intentions.
"The leader? Judging by the ti, the leader will arrive very soon."
She knew Tang Rao's strength well and had long prepared to be discovered by Tang Rao.
