Chapter 45: Knowing or not speaking, words are endless
Xu Gaizhi clasped his hands and said: "Master Immortal, Chi Yu and I are sending Chang Nian back to Beifeng, so we are leaving now."
He Qing forced a smile and said politely: "You're here, sit down for a while."
"I won't sit down anymore, I won't sit down anymore," Xu Gaizhi declined with sweat dripping down his back: "Master is still waiting for us to go back and write the accompanying book for our trip down the mountain. Disciple, please leave." After saying that, he hurriedly grabbed Huachi Yu and ran away. .
Looking at Xu Gaizhi's figure that was running so fast as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him, He Qingyue felt that it was difficult to take off the "pervert" label on his head.
Forget it, she was too lazy to pick it off. After all, she was not a person who cared about reputation. At first, she just wanted to prove herself to Gu Changnian.
Looking at Gu Changnian again, he remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted: "Master, the disciple is back." Then he raised his eyes and looked directly at He Qing, the disappointment in his eyes was beyond words.
He Qing raised his eyebrows and thought: What does this man look like? If I really change my target, shouldn't he be the happiest one?
Seeing that He Qing had no sense of shame or guilt, Gu Changnian lowered his eyelids again and said in a deep voice: "Master Chongying has confirmed that the disciple has recovered, so the disciple came back without notifying the master in advance. ’s fault.”
This didn't sound right to He Qing's ears. Why did it feel like Gu Changnian was implying that she came back at the wrong time and disturbed her interest in harassing her young apprentice?
Although He Qing didn't care about his reputation, he was always unhappy when others misunderstood him. Just as he was about to explain, Lu Li on the side took the initiative to explain: "Brother, please don't get me wrong. I was feeling a little unwell just now. Master was just helping me to adjust." Just take a breath." His tone was soft and slightly urgent, as if he was afraid that Gu Changnian wouldn't believe it.
Lu Li's "understanding" immediately confused He Qing, who looked back at him blankly——
Lu Li's face was extremely deceptive. Even if he wasn't deliberately artificial, it could make people think that he was innocent and harmless at first glance. But He Qing could see clear teasing in his dark eyes.
What He Qing didn't expect was that Gu Changnian actually followed Lu Li's words: "I understand. I heard that you were also affected by the miasma in Monster Mountain and you do need some time to recover."
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said innocently: "Yes, thanks to Master helping me lead the miasma out of my body, I was able to recover so quickly. However, because of this, Master never visited me in those few days. Senior brother." After a pause, he asked cautiously: "Senior brother, you won't be angry, right?"
He Qing: ...Lu Li hasn't poured tea for Gu Changnian for a long time since the two of them cooperated. What is he trying to do now?
Gu Changnian looked at Lu Li's weak and vulnerable face, and for some reason, an unknown fire arose in his heart. His hands, which were covered by his sleeves and robes, clenched into fists at some point——
It turns out that the few days when Master didn't come to see him were not entirely because the miasma caused him and he needed to recover from his injuries, but because he was busy taking care of Lu Li?
Thinking about this, Gu Changnian couldn't help feeling suffocated in his chest, and even his breathing was a little uncomfortable.
He took a hard breath and said, "Master, this disciple is a little tired and wants to go back to his room first."
He Qing was surprised at Lu Li's change of attitude, so he nodded in agreement: "You can go on your own."
"..." Gu Changnian was silent, "Yes."
As soon as Gu Changnian walked away, He Qing immediately turned around to look at Lu Li and asked, "Do you think your explanation was good?"
Lu Li blinked his obsidian eyes and tilted his head innocently: "Isn't it good?"
"Stop pretending, you are so good, why do you provoke him?" He Qing looked puzzled: "What good will it do to you?"
Seeing that He Qing didn't want to cooperate with him in playing the master-disciple game, Lu Li returned to his normal state, sat back on the futon, held his chin, and said in a casual tone: "Your apprentice has made me somewhat interested, let's play with him."
He Qing also sat next to him, frowning and saying, "That's enough." Lu Li paused in sliding his index finger across the table, and glanced at her with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "What, are you worried about your disciple?"
"I'm worried about you." He Qing answered without hesitation: "Now that your forbidden curse has not been solved, and there are people chasing you, there is no point in offending one more Gu Changnian."
Lu Li stared at her for a long time, then turned away and said meaningfully: "As long as the master is here, the disciple is not afraid."
Seeing his rude attitude, He Qing hesitated: This young gentleman has reservations about her and hides too many things. If there is no better choice, she really doesn't want to have such a partner.
But thinking about it again, she also had a lot of things in her stomach. It seemed that she didn't have the right to dislike Lu Li?
As soon as the idea came up, He Qing secretly brainwashed himself: No, it means double standards, and I will be disgusted!
※
Not two days after the already restless days, Dao Yi suddenly notified several heads, including He Qing, to go to Xifeng Yuheng Mountain to discuss. He Qing guessed that it was probably Xuan Qingzi who had returned with the news.
When a few people arrived at the meeting hall in Yuheng Mountain, sure enough, Dao Yi directly mentioned Xuan Qingzi's investigation of the seal.
He said in a solemn tone: "Master Xuanqing has gone to two seals, and there is no sign of loosening."
Chong Ying hurriedly asked: "What about the Demon God's seal?"
Dao Yi shook his head and said: "The demon god's seal is far away in the north. The real person has not gone over to check it, but he has met many fellow Taoists along the way. Since the demon beast from Monster Mountain appeared, immortal sects everywhere have After getting the news, they took the initiative to investigate. According to the news from the real person, there have been many strange movements among the demon cultivators recently. "
This was not good news, and the chamber was quiet for a moment.
Guanyue sighed and said: "The strangest thing is that there have been many strange things in the past few months. The black beam, the magical beast breaking the seal, and the remaining demonic energy in the center of the seal can't find the source of all this."
What could He Qing, who was innocent in his heart, say at this time? He could only pretend to be thoughtful and ask: "What do Master Xuanqing think?"
Dao Yi said: "The real person plans to meet with people from Guanghan Sect and Yuling Palace to Lingshan to discuss important matters."
"Yu Ling Palace?" He Qing and Guan Yue blurted out at the same time.
Guan Yue then said: "Yu Ling Palace has always been alone and does not interact with other immortal sects. Other immortal sects have never included them in the immortal path."
He Qing had read about this immortal sect in a book, and said that it was because their practice in the Yuling Palace was rather evil, so even though they also practiced with spiritual energy, they were never recognized by the immortal sect.
The first appearance of this sect in the book was at the Immortal Sect Conference a year later. After its disciples seriously injured several other Immortal Sect disciples, they were taught a lesson by Gu Changnian.
Dao nodded and explained: "Yes, but the situation is special. The Yuling Palace is located on one of the seals. They are also investigating on their own. Since they cannot avoid dealing with them, it is better to act together."
