Holding On to My Man

Mo Haige was still extremely indifferent to him. Every time after visiting Mo Haige, his mood and temper will become bad and the cold pressure will reach below zero degrees.

Seeing this every time, Gu Bai couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, Mo Haige obviously can’t be pleased, but Qin Shitian still stubbornly go to him, this is simply looking for abuse.

He can’t understand the feeling of indulging in love. Like the previous world, he knew later on that Nie Qingcang was in love with him and he has a good impression of Nie Qingcang, but he couldn’t feel his heart beating. He doesn’t understand what kind of feeling love is.

Gu Bai doesn’t know if he’s really ruthless or not, it’s just that every time he touches his heart, he really can’t feel the beating. It seems like he’s really missing a warm heart...

Although he can’t understand and have misgivings about Qin Shitian’s foolishly loving behavior, this doesn’t hinder him from doing his task to please Qin Shitian.

Perhaps it’s because no one has ever dared to approach him and his heart has been abused by Mo Haige for too long, becoming fragile. Or maybe it’s because his pure eyes are too lethal. Not only people from the righteous path, but even Qin Shitian this vicious and merciless great devil leader also can’t resist it.

Gu Bai feels that it is quite easy to please Qin Shitian, it’s not that difficult. Every time after Qin Shitian was done with being angry, he will thicken his skin and go up to him, doing his best to bootlick and express loyalty, and the great devil leader will calm back down.

This phenomenon was also discovered by the servants and subordinates of Qin Shitian. They really admire Gu Bai, such a scary sect leader daren and he can actually easily appease him like a piece of cake. They admire him and admire his courage even more.

Of course, it’s not that no one tried to please Qin Shitian like him, but they all failed and Qin Shitian turned them into scraps with one strike.

Gu Bai is very curious, why does the same method work for him but for other people it’s courting death, could it be that he’s too attractive? He couldn’t help but chuckle narcissistically.

Seeing his doubtful look, Qin Shitian enlightened him, "Benzun has lived for so many years and have seen many kinds of people. Ah Jiu, your eyes are the purest that bezun has ever seen....."

The implication is that his loyalty is the most "true".

Gu Bai paused then quickly became alert. If it weren’t for his natural ability to not expose his emotions, the first person to be crushed into smithereens is probably him. If it weren’t for the task, he won’t feel that he was sincere to Qin Shitian in any way.

He couldn’t help but feel guilty and quickly lowered his head to carefully conceal his emotions for a moment before he continued to suck up to the cold man in front of him with a confession.

"For sect leader, Ah Jiu is willing to go through water and tread on fire*! It’s just...it’s just that sect master is so young, how can it be possible to have lived for so many years!"

*idiom - not afraid of any difficulty

The youth’s expression is both loyal and serious. It’s like he’s currently bootlicking, but it’s too obvious. Qin Shitian’s mood became good and he laughed in his heart that Gu Bai is so simple minded that he doesn’t even know how to bootlick.

In a few words, he made the scary sect leader daren laugh. All the surrounding subordinates prostrated themselves in admiration before Gu Bai. Aside from the little sect leader (Mo Haige), only Gu Bai dared to get close to the sect leader without fear.

In just a few months, Gu Bai is like a fish in the water* by Qin Shitian’s side. Even some of the hallmasters in charge of sect matters were also courteous and respectful to him, not daring to slight him in the slightest.

*fit with the environment

at ease/used to it

To be valued and also treated mildly by Qin Shitian, it can be imagined that after Gu Bai’s cultivation increase, he will become Qin Shitian’s right hand man.

Even Mo Haige who has always been cold and indifferent to everyone also viewed him in a new light. When they come across each other, he will also greet him. Thanks to Gu Bai’s appearance, Qin Shitian finally no longer require his company during meals.

Actually, it’s also understandable. Qin Shitian isn’t a masochistic madman, anyone who has shown warm feelings only to be met with cold rebuke for more than a decade will also feel frustrated and discouraged, and who likes to get up early in the morning to be in a bad mood?

Gu Bai’s intimacy patched up his his cold and wounded heart, the feeling of closeness when getting along with Gu Bai is very comforting.

Although he still likes Mo Haige, his attention is unconsciously being gradually attracted by Gu Bai, and his emotions are also under Gu Bai’s control, even he himself didn’t realize it....
