Chapter 1059: Only He Moves the Heart the Most

"It’s nothing!" Gu Jin suddenly stood up, leaving her water cup behind, her voice unsteady as she said, "I’ll go back to my room to rest for a bit."

With that, she hurriedly walked away.

As she passed by a chair not far away, she almost tripped.

You could see the panic in her heart.

If she stayed any longer, Gu Jin was truly afraid something would happen!

Heaven knows what’s wrong with her today, facing An Mingji, she kept losing herself.

This was something that had never happened before.

Even though she very much liked An Mingji’s face and occasionally marveled at his excessively outstanding appearance, she had never experienced such a fast heartbeat, blushing, and flustered embarrassment.

It gave her a sense of betrayal, as if she had crossed some boundary.

Watching Gu Jin’s panicked departure, a hint of satisfaction and cunning flickered in An Mingji’s eyes.

He did it on purpose.

Upon returning to the country this time, concerning Gu Jin’s feelings, he left himself no retreat.

With no retreat, the only way was forward.

He would step by step come before Ajin, leaving her with no choice but to accept his embrace, to enjoy everything he would give her beneath his wings.

An Mingji knew in his heart that Ajin had feelings for him, feelings that were inexplicable.

But she used to be reserved, never had she exhibited such overt emotional shifts as today.

It was the first time he discovered that his Ajin, with just a slight tease, would make her ears blush.

Seeing her panicked gaze and uneasy demeanor made him restless, wanting to keep teasing her like this.

It would be best to tease her until she cried.

Of course, not tears of sadness.

How could he bear to let her be sad?

Rather, another kind, at that moment when both confirm their feelings, when body, heart, and soul unite.

Surely, at that time, Ajin jie would be very beautiful.

And very captivating.

And such unique beauty could only be appreciated by him alone.

Just thinking of that picture made An Mingji’s breathing unsteady, with a dark glow blooming deep within his eyes.

Today’s Ajin shattered the reserved image from his childhood in his mind.

So, his Ajin also had such a shy side, like a bashful young girl.

An Mingji’s eyes kept staring in the direction where Gu Jin left.

But she was long gone.

Not sure what he recalled, a delightful curve appeared on his lips, showing a gentle expression filled with determination.

The sunlight outside the window poured over this entire area, the exceptionally handsome youth bathed in the sun, like a gentle and affectionate nobleman, rendering all the surrounding decorations colorless, with him being the most captivating.

...

The once-a-decade Cultivator Assembly was held in the Hidden Market.

Today’s surroundings of the Hidden Market were noticeably less crowded than usual.

Opposite the East Gate of the Hidden Market, a tall building rose, with a wide road where usually during the day there were many pedestrians.

At night, the neon lights were dazzling, vibrant and bustling, creating a stark contrast with the dark Hidden Market.

But today, there were much fewer vehicles on the wide road, and even the pedestrians were sparse.

At the break of dawn, cultivators invited to participate in the Cultivator Assembly had already arrived at the Hidden Market in advance.

The Hidden Market had multiple entrances, each guarded by people from the sects within the Hidden Market.

Those not from the Hidden Market, those without an invitation to the Cultivator Assembly, as well as irrelevant persons, were all denied entry.

The South Street East Gate of the Capital, number eighty-eight.

Here where Gu Jin was, it became lively early in the morning, bustling with activity.

The first to arrive were people from the Yu Family.

Yu Qingli led his wife, along with their youngest son Yu Yunfei, with daughter-in-law Yin Fangfei, grandson Yu Tianrui, along with Yu Shuo and Jiang Hanyi all coming together.
