Chapter 85 Face your own heart
Heqing deliberately ignored it, and Huachiyu couldn't see it, but looking at Gu Changnian's increasingly pale face, she still mustered up the courage and timidly said: " Immortal Master, I have long missed him, and I have something to report.”
Sure enough, He Qing's face turned cold as soon as he heard Gu Changnian's name.
Maybe it's because the Yaoguang Sect's martial arts are very lethal, and the cold faces of the Yaoguang Sect's masters and disciples have always put a lot of pressure on people. Huachi Yu has always been most afraid of He Qing's expression.
Because every time He Qing showed this expression, Hua Chi Yu would either get scolded or find trouble and be punished.
At that moment, this look that had been absent for more than half a year appeared to Hua Chiyu again. Hua Chiyu was immediately frightened and buried his head, not daring to look at He Qing again.
However, Hua Chiyu did not expect the harsh words he expected. Instead, he heard He Qing say earnestly: "Chi Yu, I know you are a good girl with a soft heart, but you can't just be soft-hearted."
He Qing thought, how long has it been since Gu Changnian refused to marry in public at the North Peak of Lingshan Mountain some time ago, hurting this girl deeply? Not only did she take care of Gu Changnian's daily life, she also came to speak for Gu Changnian out of fear.
Seeing Hua Chi Yu's aggrieved and pitiful look made He Qing dislike Gu Changnian even more.
Huachiyu was slightly startled, raised his head and uttered a syllable in confusion: "Ah?"
He Qing did not intend to explain further. There was no room for outsiders to comment on matters such as feelings. So she skipped the topic, stretched her neck as if tired, and said, "I'm a little tired, let's talk about it later."
Seeing that He Qing was about to leave, Hua Chiyu panicked and looked at Gu Changnian at a loss, only to see him call out with difficulty: "Master, I really have something important to report."
He Qing didn't look back or even stop. Yue Qingru, who was at the back, shrugged apologetically and was about to close the door.
"It's related to the Demonic Young Master!"
"etc."
In the crack of the half-open door, He Qing turned slightly sideways, looked over with a stern look, and said softly: "Let him in."
※
Although he didn't want to be alone in the same room with Gu Changnian, considering what was about to be discussed, He Qing still backed away from Yue Qingru and Lu Li.
Before Gu Changnian came, he specially took a shower and washed his clothes. He looked handsome, but after all, he was injured and had to hold back a lot of troubles. His whole face looked a little haggard.
He Qing lifted up his robe and got on the bed. He sat upright and looked at him. He said in a soft and cold tone: "Go ahead."
"..." Gu Changnian had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it. He knew that he had attacked He Qing twice, and there might be no chance of restoring the master-disciple relationship, but it was really hard for him to face it. It made him miserable. All he can do now is to openly disclose everything he knows so that He Qing can recognize the truth and no longer be confused by others.
Thinking of this, Gu Changnian's eyes showed a bit of determination. He cupped his hands and said, "Master, this disciple suspects that Lu Li is the Demonic Young Master."
He Qing's heart beat twice, but he didn't show it on his face. He only asked with a solemn expression, "What evidence is there for what you said?" Seeing Gu Changnian shaking his head, He Qing immediately felt relieved. Smiling contemptuously: "I thought you had a glimpse of the secret and had some incredible evidence. It turns out that it was just nonsense."
"No." Gu Changnian explained in embarrassment: "Master, please think about it carefully. After Lu Li appeared, there were indeed many strange things happening in Lingshan. Among them, there are three most important doubts. One, the disciple I asked, no one saw where Lu Li was when the black demonic energy appeared on the North Peak. Secondly, the demonic beast that broke into the Demonic Beast Mountain swallowed Lu Li into its belly and left. After Lu Li was rescued, the demonic beast on his body Isn’t it strange that miasma is not fatal at all?”
He Qing watched Gu Changnian speak one word at a time in silence, and his eyes couldn't help but darken as he listened to his reasonable words.
"The last point is also the point that makes this disciple the most suspicious." Gu Changnian lowered his eyes and said carefully: "Qi Guan Xiao, the head of the Qi Guan family, moved the sealed magical beasts in the Genjing Mountains here. He should have abandoned the immortal sect and wanted to enter the demonic path. But once it was revealed, he had no scruples and fought to the death with several immortal masters in Lingshan without any back-up arrangements. This makes people wonder whether he did something with Lu Li after taking him away. Only after this kind of transaction did he decide to die to protect the Lord."
"..." He Qing's muscles all over his body were tense, and he once again had murderous intentions towards Gu Changnian, and his cultivation level was once again weakened.
That's pretty good. He Qing thought that although Gu Changnian had no evidence, if he told these three things to others, anyone with some brains would be suspicious of Lu Li. It's really good, he deserves to be the male protagonist.
Gu Changnian did not notice the flickering of He Qing's eyes, and lowered his head and said: "Disciple does not have any evidence to confirm the above conjecture, but I believe that as long as we follow this line of thinking, we will be able to find clues."
He Qing clenched the hand in his sleeve silently, and then slowly let go, as if he was preparing for a surprise attack with physical skills, or as if he was letting himself relax. She asked meekly: "Have you said these words to anyone else?"
Gu Changnian shook his head: "Not yet."
He Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and snorted with a smile that could not reach his eyes: "You are indeed considerate, but you have never thought that I might have known about this a long time ago and sat on the same boat with Lu Li. ”
The scene of the secret meeting between the mysterious man and He Qing in Lu Li's room suddenly burst into Gu Changnian's mind. As if he was suddenly pushed by an invisible force, he immediately lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee, sinking. He said: "The disciple believes that the master will never betray the Taoist heart and the Immortal Sect. The disciple will never doubt the master."
He Qing smiled nonchalantly: "If I remember correctly, it's only been three days since you killed me from behind, right?"
When this matter that Gu Changnian didn't want to think about was mentioned, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He leaned down and kowtowed and said with difficulty: "In the past, the disciples were too paranoid and unwilling to face their own hearts, which led to the birth of inner demons. , I almost hurt the master. I hope the master can forgive the disciple's mistake and accept the disciple again. "
"..." He Qing was a little shocked. She had always known that Gu Changnian was a person with strong self-esteem. To be able to kowtow and confess his guilt so readily was either because he sincerely regretted it or because he was doing it for the future. A certain plan, deliberately dormant and patient.
Just when He Qing was in shock and doubt, Gu Changnian couldn't hide his sorrow and murmured: "Disciple should have understood that the master today is very different from before. Disciple didn't want to believe it at first and was always attached to the past. Then I clearly envied the master's relationship with the junior brothers and sisters, but I didn't want to face it...Master, it was the disciple who was wrong..."
