Chapter 2115 - 105: Gods_3

He knew that Meng Xizhou came to find him this time, most likely because of the matter of the fire seed.

Qinglong was felled.

The Celestial fire seed is currently vacant and unclaimed...

His "Lan Qie" is actually the Wind Strike Technique, which is very compatible with the authority of "Cloud Mirror." If he had a chance to touch this fire seed, he has a great chance of becoming a Divine Throne.

But Gu Nanfeng rejected Meng Xizhou’s goodwill.

The whole world knows.

The relationship between Gu Nanfeng and Meng Xizhou is far from ordinary friendship, but constrained by war, it has never been clarified.

Now the war is over.

If Gu Nanfeng can fuse a fire seed, the two would be truly "well-matched."

"..."

Meng Xizhou still wanted to say something to persuade him.

But a series of messages came from her Heart Lake. She watched the figure gradually disappearing in the distance ahead of the Snowfield and ultimately chose silence.

Holy Light descended.

Meng Xizhou’s figure dissipated at the end of the Snowfield.

Gu Nanfeng forcibly suppressed the urge to turn back; at this moment, he felt the dissipation of the vast light behind him and exhaled a long breath.

"This... must be exhausting."

A sudden voice came from beside him.

Gu Nanfeng hadn’t realized when the owner of this voice had come to his side.

"Gu Shen?"

A strong wind suddenly arose, snow mist engulfed, and a figure emerged from the end of the snow mist.

It seemed he had always been standing here, just waiting for Gu Nanfeng’s arrival.

Gu Nanfeng looked a bit flustered: "When... did you get here?"

"I’ve been here for a while."

Gu Shen said blandly: "I also heard clearly what you all talked about."

"??? "

Gu Nanfeng’s eyes were complicated.

Gu Shen had been here for a while... It was understandable that he hadn’t noticed, but Meng Xizhou, who was a noble Divine Throne, hadn’t noticed either. What realm has Gu Shen reached by now?

"Don’t worry. I don’t have the hobby of eavesdropping on lovers’ conversations."

Gu Shen said casually: "I just happened to be wandering in the Tundra, and coincidentally met you all... Hmm, since Miss Meng has already left, I should say, I just happened to meet you."

"Is that so, what a coincidence indeed."

Gu Nanfeng lowered his brow and smiled slightly; he was ready to use the same trick again to end the topic: "Since you’ve heard, Gu Shen, I’d like to be alone quietly..."

"You’re pretending to be very tired, aren’t you?"

Gu Shen suddenly spoke, interrupting Gu Nanfeng’s words.

Gu Nanfeng’s tone paused, frowning and said: "What are you... talking about?"

"About the fire seed, and many other things, you must be finding it exhausting to pretend to be oblivious, aren’t you?"

Gu Shen said calmly: "I heard your conversation, and I heard it clearly."

"Since the war ended, you haven’t contacted me once. Knowing I’m in Changye, you went to the Tundra, didn’t even go to pay respects at the old man’s grave, deliberately avoiding me. Even at the celebration a few days ago, you didn’t show up. By running into you here, it’s not a coincidence that could surpass your effort to stay away from me."

Having said this, it was a point of clarity.

But Gu Nanfeng still shook his head, continuing to pretend to be unaware: "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"You know I’m selecting a master for the suspended fire seeds."

Gu Shen raised an eyebrow: "To be frank, there are just those few fire seeds, and they basically all have their masters. Now only the Celestial fire seed is left."

"I’m not interested in the fire seed." Gu Nanfeng tried making his tone sound very indifferent.

"No one isn’t interested in fire seeds."

Gu Shen laughed: "You just don’t want to compete with Bai Xiu."

"When I said you’re pretending, it wasn’t meant derogatorily. There shouldn’t be many people who understand you better than I do; you always keep your emotions buried in the deepest part of your heart. You wouldn’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t know you like Miss Meng, right?"

"The war is over, and Meng Xizhou wants the world to be acknowledged."

"But you still have to wait a bit longer, at least you cannot give it now."

With these words, Gu Shen spoke very frankly, like a knife directly stabbing into Gu Nanfeng’s chest.

Gu Nanfeng’s complexion suddenly lost three shades of color.

Gu Shen continued: "You’re worried any slightest hint of desire for the fire seed would make Meng Xizhou fight for you, eventually snatching Bai Xiu’s opportunity... You watched Little Xiuzi work hard these past few years for the future of Five Continents, painstakingly searching for fire seeds, and now there’s only this fire seed left. For Meng Xizhou, you could contest everything else in the world, but this matter alone you aren’t willing to fight."

"So, what being tired, what wanting peace, were just stalling tactics."

Gu Shen shrugged and said: "From what I understand of you, when Bai Xiu has fused the fire seed and the dust settles, you will return."

"..."

Gu Nanfeng remained silent for a long time, he did not argue, he had nothing to say.

Indeed, no one understood him better than Gu Shen.

"Sometimes, you don’t have to live so exhausting a life."

Gu Shen sighed softly.

He came beside Gu Nanfeng and said: "Hold out your hand."

"...?"

Gu Nanfeng’s pupils contracted; he had already anticipated what Gu Shen was about to do next.

Gu Shen took out a fire seed.

This fire seed was covered with a layer of clouds, emitting a silvery white glow, and was surrounded by a faint howling wind!

Celestial fire seed!

"Since you understand me, you know I will absolutely not accept."

Gu Nanfeng spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Want to bet? I’ll bet you’ll accept."

Looking at Gu Nanfeng’s puzzled gaze.

Gu Shen laughed: "Precisely because I understand you, it’s why I meet you alone in this setting."

A brief pause.

Gu Shen said: "Brother Nanfeng, although you and I have an excellent relationship, fire seed distribution concerns the fate of all humanity. How could it be influenced by one person’s words and opinions? I select the fire seed master based entirely on fate curve and compatibility... The reason I present the Celestial fire seed to you is because you are the most suitable match for it."

"??? "

Gu Nanfeng retreated several steps, frowning.

"What about Little Xiuzi... If this fire seed is given to me, what will happen to Little Xiuzi?"

"Rest assured, he has one too."

Gu Shen raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Take it and accept it well... don’t worry about Little Xiuzi, that guy’s burden is even heavier than yours."
