The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

"As expected of Brother Haoguang."

Xia Chuan raised his hand and gave Gao Haoguang a sharp rap on the head.

"I'll have Xiaoxing teach you what to say in this situation later."

"Learn from them!"

Gao Haoguang covered his head, still looking confused.

“I was right.”

Hai Shan shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Haoguang is indeed beyond saving."

Gao Haoguang retorted, "Then what brilliant idea do you have?"

Hai Shan immediately perked up.

"In this situation, what girls usually want to hear most is concern, longing, or whether she has been doing well while you were gone."

Gao Haoguang seemed to be deep in thought.

Hai Shan continued his analysis: "So we need to start with what the other party cares about most."

What does she care about most?

Gao Haoguang pressed for details.

Hai Shan answered confidently, "Of course it's my own physical condition."

"So you should have asked her first."

How are you still alive?

"That way she will tell you everything about why she is still alive all these years and what she has been through."

Gao Haoguang was stunned for a moment.

Then it dawned on me.

"That's right."

Xia Chuan looked to the left, then to the right.

Then each of them received a flick on the forehead.

"You think you're right?!"

"Get the hell out here and go find Duan Xinglian!"

Gu Shifang watched the commotion at the table for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shout:

"Stop hitting him, come and eat!"

"Xia Chuan, what would you like to drink? Red or white?"

Xia Chuan rubbed his wrist.

"Red is so boring."

"Drink baijiu (Chinese liquor)."

Gu Shifang nodded, then turned and called out to Wu Yuanzhen:

"Pass me the Sprite!"

Xia Chuan: "..."

Gu Shifang took the Sprite, poured him a full glass, and then asked casually:

How long will you stay this time?

The sounds in the main hall did not disappear, but those who were nearby subconsciously slowed down their movements.

Xia Chuan held his cup and remained silent for a moment.

"There's still a little bit left."

"I'm going to another place."

Gu Shifang paused slightly as he poured the wine.

Xia Chuan glanced at him and added:

"But it's different from before."

"I can come back anytime now."

"Before I leave, I still need to make some arrangements."

The reform of the supernatural world can finally begin.

I'll stay and oversee things initially, and we'll move forward once everything is on track.

Gu Shifang did not ask where that "other place" was.

He simply nodded.

"It's good that you can come back."

After a brief commotion, everyone finally sat down at the long table.

Tiger Rope returned at some point.

She eventually sat down next to Gao Haoguang, but from the moment she sat down, she kept a straight face and refused to talk to him.

Gao Haoguang picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks.

lay down.

He picked up the cup again.

I took a sip.

Hai Shan and Xia Chuan, who were secretly observing, shook their heads repeatedly.

After a long while, as if he had finally completed some extremely complex psychological deduction, he turned to look at Hu Dasheng.

"actually……"

Tiger Rope didn't turn around, but his ears twitched slightly.

"what?"

Gao Haoguang paused for a moment.

I miss you so much.

The coldness on Hu Dasheng's face vanished instantly.

She lowered her head, pretending to be focused on the food in her bowl, but her cheeks flushed red at a visible speed.

"Oh."

"understood."

The surroundings were still noisy.

Some people were scrambling for the last skewer of grilled meat, while others were debating whether or not the chicken grilled by Wu Yuanzhen was edible.

Someone tried to secretly pour real liquor into Xia Chuan's cup, but he caught them red-handed.

No one started a commotion.

It was as if no one had heard what was just said.

The smiles on everyone's faces were even brighter than before.

Gu Shifang tapped on the table.

"Quiet down, everyone."

"Xia Chuan, say something."

Xia Chuan stood up.

He looked at the familiar faces before him.

Some people fought alongside him, some schemed against each other, some came from a hundred years ago, and some only truly grew up in the more than twenty years since he left.

They have experienced all kinds of businesses.

Having experienced the battle of cause and effect.

They have experienced countless deaths, separations, and reunions.

Now, we're finally sitting at the same table.

Xia Chuan raised a glass filled with Sprite.

"There's not much to say."

In short.

"We won."

He grinned.

"Let's eat!"

A cheer immediately erupted in the hall.

"Long live!"

Everyone raised their glasses together.

The clinking of cups and saucers created a continuous sound, and the lamplight reflected on everyone's faces, as well as on the ancient bricks, tiles, beams, and pillars of the gate.

This scene suddenly reminded Hai Shan of a hundred years ago.

At that time, they had just experienced their first battle of cause and effect.

He doesn't understand physics, nor does he know what the boundaries of history, the future, and the world really are.

Rain fell from the sky, pattering on the eaves, stone steps, and Xia Chuan's shoulders.

Hai Shan stood in the rain, gazing at the tangled lines of water, and asked curiously:
