When an emotionless sword cultivator falls in love, he turns out to be surprisingly direct.
Gu Jinglu discovered something. Ever since the Immortal Lord reclaimed his life-bound sword, he had started asking after Gu Jinglu’s well-being, finding excuses to touch him, and sighing for no apparent reason.
But the thing was, Gu Jinglu could hear the Immortal Lord’s thoughts!
The Immortal Lord, keeping him company while he handled official business: “These duties are such a pain.”
The Immortal Lord, trying to cuddle up to him only to be pushed away because he was afraid of the cold: “Being so sensitive to the cold is such a pain.”
The Immortal Lord, catching him secretly drinking: “Liking him is such a pain.”
The Immortal Lord, tending the flowers, said nothing: “…”
The Immortal Lord, pinching a flower, suddenly realized: “I might as well just tell him outright.”
Gu Jinglu jerked his head up. Ripples briefly stirred in those usually placid eyes, then vanished as quickly as they came. Yet the Immortal Lord kept staring at him without looking away. Gu Jinglu hurriedly lowered his head and buried his face in his book.
Gu Jinglu came from a humble background, and his cultivation was nowhere near the best in the cultivation world. But no one could match his talent for putting himself down. He had secretly loved Chu Huaiqing for hundreds of years, and even after learning that Chu Huaiqing felt the same way, he was still stunned, terrified, and eager to run away.
The one cultivating the Heartless Way isn’t heartless at all. The sect leader who cultivates the Way of Affection is the one who has truly severed all distractions and steered clear of romance.
I get all that, but why are you acting more like a heartless cultivator than I am?
Cool and aloof, straightforward top x insecure and shy bottom (only around the top)
The mind-reading ability comes and goes
A little angst, lots of sweetness, happy ending
Be literature, the first time I read [Chigua]
