CHAPTER 554: 554: THE SO-CALLED FATE

Time flies.

Before they knew it, the conversation had stopped for quite a while.

Both people, each harboring their own thoughts, returned to their own positions.

As if nothing had ever happened!

Their expressions remained unchanged, yet everything had been pressed into the bottom of their hearts, waiting for an opportunity to explode.

Perhaps, the time truly has come, which is why it is like this.

This is fate, and it is something Qiu Xue cannot resist!

Gu Tong stood under the tree, her mind seemingly preoccupied. Her emotions were now very chaotic, even mixed with other feelings, which made it difficult to sort through everything at once.

"What’s wrong?"

Li Yan appeared in the same scene with her, staring at Gu Tong for a while.

It seemed he had some doubts, saying, "Just now, someone was looking for you?"

Gu Tong’s every move naturally couldn’t escape his notice.

After all, she was the person closest to Li Yan’s heart! All gazes were attracted to her.

"Yes, about Qiu Xue."

Gu Tong smiled faintly, speaking in a calm voice: "It seems she and you are quite in sync, both wanting to act today!"

"Nonsense."

Li Yan placed his large hand on Gu Tong’s head, saying, "This kind of harmony, I can only have with you!"

These words overflowed with affection, emotions spilling out recklessly.

No one knew when it happened, but her Devil King had somehow mastered this new technique of teasing.

Sweet smile appeared on Gu Tong’s lips, knowing in her heart that he was deliberately teasing her.

"I’ve already planned everything. Later on, we’ll work together to handle it."

They each had their own plan, yet they had never discussed it.

Such matters indeed required no discussion for them! For them, it was a trivial matter.

"Alright."

Li Yan wasn’t worried about Gu Tong’s way of handling things.

However, there was one thing...

That left him with many doubts, even becoming a mystery!

And it could not be solved for a long time...

...

As darkness gradually fell.

The campfire gathering had already begun.

The trainees and Lady Jag surrounded the campfire, eating meat and drinking wine, laughing and chatting, having a great time.

They ate, laughed, and talked about interesting things and stories from the battlefield, as moonlight cast a gentle glow from above, adding to the joyous and harmonious atmosphere of the campfire, filled with an unusual charm.

Time slipped away quickly and left no trace to grasp.

Gu Tong held a skewer of roast meat, eating slowly and leisurely.

Her eyelids drooped, appearing somewhat lazy and casual.

The surrounding noise continued to bubble up, just like boiling water.

Suddenly, Gu Tong got the feeling as if the original noise was gradually returning to calm, suppressed to the bottom, even completely subsided...

Gu Tong casually tossed the skewer to the side, glancing sharply to her side!

However, at that moment, her attention was caught by a beautiful face filled with distress.

"Sister Gu Tong, can we talk..."

The person in front of her was no other than Qiu Xue. She was now wearing a pink dress, looking particularly elegant and noble, her eyes brimming with tears, looking somewhat aggrieved...

As soon as the words left her mouth, even without Gu Tong doing anything, it gave off the impression of her being bullied.

"Where do you want to talk?"

However, it was clear that Gu Tong did not care about this.

Because what must come, must come!

This was their fate, a problem they had to face!

"Just over there..."

Qiu Xue pointed not far away, while one of her hands tried to grasp Gu Tong’s hand.

However, Gu Tong slipped past her directly, avoiding it!
