Chapter 24 Fight, the bicycle turns into a motorcycle
Hearing Gu Changnian's fake concern, He Qing just wanted to take out Yiying and use it as a pot pick to smear his face, but she couldn't.
He Qing, a mid-level villain, expressed his intention to kill the decent male protagonist in Tianmu Cave the day before, and today he severely injured the villain male protagonist in his room.
Did you promise to change your fate of picking up a box lunch midway? Now it seems that we are being attacked from both sides, and we are on the verge of death at every step...
But no matter how explosive He Qing's mentality is now, she still has to endure it. Since Gu Changnian still doesn't want to break the window paper, she is happy to accompany him and continue to grow.
He Qing stiffly pulled out a friendly smile from the corner of his mouth, and turned around and said: "Nothing, I can just go back and adjust myself. However, you came just in time, take a look at this?"
Gu Changnian hadn't seen his master smile like this at him for a long time. After being stunned for a moment, he looked at the thin needle held between the thumb and index finger of her right hand.
"Is this... a soul-chasing nail?"
"Yes." He Qing smiled more kindly and said, "Look carefully, what's wrong?"
Gu Changnian was a little confused and couldn't help but reach out to take it. He Qing just happened to hold the needle and send it forward. The sharp needle immediately pierced the tip of Gu Changnian's left finger.
"hiss--"
"Huh?" He Qing quickly took back the soul-chasing nail, and at the same time hid the drop of blood, pretending to be worried and said: "Are you okay?"
Gu Changnian noticed that He Qing retracted the needle at a very deliberate speed. He always felt that something was wrong and shook his head blankly: "Disciple is fine. However, just from a quick glance, I didn't feel anything was wrong."
He Qing smiled: "As long as there's nothing wrong, I'll just ask. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest quickly."
"..." He Qing smiled at himself again and again in a short period of time, which made Gu Changnian feel suspicious.
He glanced at the barrier outside Lu Li's room and asked slightly hesitantly: "Master, please forgive me for being unclear. Why did you set up a barrier outside this room?"
He Qing's face was not red and he was telling lies: "Well, Lu Li was accidentally injured by a falling thunder last night. This barrier was just set up to let him rest quietly."
Injured by thunder? Gu Changnian frowned subconsciously: Although the thunder last night had a wide range, how could it hit Lu Li who was far away from the Tianmu Cave?
If this matter is true, is it because He Qing's breath is unstable right now because he treated Lu Li's injury?
Gu Changnian suppressed the questions in his heart for the time being, and only nodded respectfully and said: "Do you need the disciple to inform the people from Kaiyang Palace to come and have a look?"
"No need." He Qing quickly refused: "I have already taken care of his injuries. He was not hit from the front, so it is not a big problem."
Gu Changnian vaguely felt that He Qing was hiding something, but he didn't know how to ask further, so he could only say in a roundabout way: "If master has any plans, maybe the disciple can help master."
After hearing this, He Qing smiled with joy, and frantically fired a barrage in his stomach: It would be great if you didn't stab me in the back! But he said, "Okay, I'll call you if I need you." After saying that, he said no more, turned around and left.
Gu Changnian hesitated to speak. He watched He Qing leave and hesitated for a long time before returning to his room next to Lu Li.
The lights were not yet lit in the room, so Gu Changnian leaned against the door, stroking his fingertips that had been stabbed by the soul-chasing nails in the darkness, as if he felt a little lost.
He originally wanted to test He Qing more and confirm whether she had really given up her evil intentions, but unexpectedly, when he saw He Qing's amiable smile, he didn't know what to say or do.
Perhaps, the relationship between him and He Qing has been bad for so long that he no longer knows what attitude to use to get along with He Qing to be normal... Thinking of He Qing's smile before, Gu Changnian secretly lost his mind——
Ever since he wounded his master with a dagger, his master had never spoken to him in such a close manner. Why did he feel that his master with such a smile looked so strange?
No, perhaps it should be said that the master who, despite the strong murderous aura erupting in the Tianmu Cave, could put himself in his shoes and subconsciously choose to protect him in times of crisis, was already very strange to him.
If the master really changes his mind and lets go of his obsession, should he respect her again as his disciple? Can their master-student relationship really be restarted from scratch?
Still, is it too late?

He Qing, who separated from Gu Changnian, did not go back to his room, but went straight to the lamp-offering side hall with the drop of fingertip blood hidden in his sleeve.
Although the eternal lanterns of Lingshan disciples are placed in Tianshu Gate, there are still side halls for worshiping lights in each immortal sect.
The bright lights were neatly arranged, and the candles flickered, emitting a warm and soft light, but He Qing's face, reflected by the lights, looked a little gloomy.
She looked at the two unlit lamps in front of her expressionlessly, with mixed feelings in her heart——
The book says that if Yue Qing was able to conceal her identity as a half-demon during the lamp-lighting ceremony, it was thanks to the help of Hua Chiyu and Gu Changnian. Previously, He Qing thought that this branch line broke the rules surrounding male and female protagonists, but now, she still had to use the blood from Gu Changnian's fingertips to complete the lighting.
There are two types of lamps in the Changming Lantern, which are red and blue according to the male and female disciples. He Qing wants to replace Yue Qingru's heart blood with his own blood, and then replace Lu Li's blood with Gu Changnian's fingertip blood.
In this way, no matter who comes to examine these two lamps that are guided by spiritual energy, they will not be able to detect demonic or demonic energy.
However, if He Qing takes this step, there will be no turning back.
Her relationship with Lu Li, or in other words, with Demon Master Su Guang, will be completely bound, and from now on, the two of them will be a grasshopper on the same rope.
There are actually two choices before He Qing.
The first is to do everything possible to please Gu Changnian. If he succeeds, everything will be fine, if he fails, he will be embarrassed and lose his life.
The second is to win over the villain Lu Li, who has no old grudge against the original owner. If successful, the protagonist will be replaced by someone else, and if failed, he will be replaced.
He Qing knew that the first route had the lowest risk, but when he thought of Gu Changnian's stabbing knife without hesitation, and the look in his eyes that refused to give up in the Tianmu Cave...
Instead of leaving your life to Gu Changnian and leaving life and death up to others, why not give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
Thinking of this, He Qing dripped the blood from Gu Changnian's fingertip into one of the lamps, and then lightly scratched his index finger with his left thumb, and the blood flowed out smoothly. Another lamp dripped into his fingertip.
The wick suddenly lit up, reflecting two weak flames in He Qing's eyes.
(My name is Lu Li, the weird Lu Li.)
Thinking of the scene when he first met Lu Li, He Qing could not help but murmur: "We are both Tianya tools... I hope I am not wrong in my bet."
