Gu Changnian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He stood up, took down the tall whisk from the wall, and with the help of the only lit oil lamp in the room, he carefully examined and stroked it.

Every cultivator's first magical weapon is always of great significance. When Gu Changnian refined this whisk from Kaiyang Palace, he was very happy for a long time and named it Baihong.

To him at that time, this whisk not only proved that he was following in the right footsteps of his master, but also was an expression of his respect and love for his master.

Although Gu Changnian has not used Baihong over the years, he has not allowed it to be covered in dust. He always nourishes it with spiritual energy to maintain its spiritual energy.

Not for any other reason, but simply to use it as a form of static exercise.

Today, Junior Sister Yue Qingru asked for Bai Hong. As they were from the same clan, it was not impossible. However, he felt that if he gave Bai Hong away, the already shaky relationship between him and his master would be even more impossible to save.

Retrieve?

Gu Changnian was shocked by his own thoughts: I was testing her feelings, wasn't I? How could it be that he wanted to take the initiative to win her back?

Suddenly, Gu Changnian thought about the past few days when he was like an outsider, watching his master and his fellow disciples getting along with each other, and his heart became depressed again.

Looking back, Gu Changnian saw his master as a kind and strict person, who rarely laughed, though he would not speak loudly. Later, his master laughed more often, but his eyes were always full of smiles, which made Gu Changnian very uncomfortable.

When Gu Changnian grew up and understood the world, he realized his master's evil thoughts about him.

And now, the master often makes Gu Changnian have the illusion that "he doesn't seem to know him".

If the master could have used this attitude to get along with his apprentice, why couldn't he have treated him like this back then?

Gu Changnian suddenly came to his senses and realized that he was actually concentrating on thinking about things related to He Qing. He habitually felt a little disgusted, and more of an discomfort.

The night was long, and Gu Changnian was unable to calm down because of the messy thoughts just now, so he took Baihong and went to the backyard, wanting to vent the nameless anger in his heart.

I haven't used the whisk for a long time, so it was a little uncomfortable to use it again. But the magic weapon was spiritual, and it soon followed Gu Changnian's wishes. Under the stimulation of the Tianxin Jue, it opened and closed, like a white stream of light under the moonlight.

Having expended his energy, Gu Changnian felt much more refreshed. Taking advantage of the good moonlight, he jumped onto the rockery and sat cross-legged, placing Baihong across his legs, practicing breathing exercises to gather spiritual energy.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Gu Changnian, who was about to enter a state of meditation, suddenly felt a familiar breath coming from nearby, which soon disappeared completely.

Master?

Gu Changnian opened his eyes and looked in the direction where He Qing's aura had appeared just now. His eyes sank slightly -

That was Lu Li's room.

Another barrier was deployed outside the room, covering the entire room, and no sound or breath could be detected.

If one uses magic to probe, one can only barely see the barrier, which is like rippled glass, making everything inside the barrier appear hazy.

Gu Changnian could only vaguely see that the few windows that were originally open were all closed.

Gu Changnian couldn't help but feel suspicious: Why would the master go to Lu Li's room at this time?

(Master, you come to my room every night to see me. Does that count as giving me special treatment?)

The words that Lu Li had said suddenly rushed into Gu Changnian's mind, causing Gu Changnian to frown.

Lu Li always liked to use He Qing as a pretext and could easily make Yue Qingru so angry that she would jump to her feet. When Lu Li said this, Gu Changnian naturally thought that it was just a joke.

But now, Gu Changnian saw with his own eyes that He Qing entered Lu Li's room late at night. Obviously, what Lu Li said was not just a provocation to Le Qingru.

Thinking of this, Gu Changnian subconsciously hid his aura. After all, with He Qing's cultivation level, it would not be difficult for her to find him even at such a long distance as long as she was willing.

But after concealing his energy, even Gu Changnian himself was a little puzzled as to why he did this. With the barrier in place, even if he wanted to find out something, it would be impossible.

Gu Changnian shook his head involuntarily, shook off those messy thoughts, exhaled a long breath, and stared at the closed windows of Lu Li's room.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Changnian discovered that one of the windows seemed to be opened, but because of the barrier blocking the view, he could only vaguely make out that there seemed to be a person standing by the window.

After a while, another person appeared and closed the window.

Gu Changnian's pupils shrank, and he couldn't believe his own judgment.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Gu Changnian was very familiar with his master's figure, so the person who closed the window must be He Qing. Then, who was that person who was a head taller than He Qing? !

"You've heard of it too?" He Qing said with some surprise, "Yes, the Secret Demonic Sounds of the Twelve Capitals of Heaven, and this set of skills is especially suitable for people who use musical instruments as magical instruments to practice."

Su Guang looked at He Qing with a deep gaze and asked calmly, "Do you know who created this technique?"

He Qing glanced at him with a strange look on his face: "It is said that it is the Heavenly Secret Demon God Sound, so it must have been created by the Demon God." Then he raised his chin and thought: "However, the book I read said that this set of exercises has been lost for many years. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Su Guang heard this and raised a strange smile on his lips: "You actually want me to learn the magic god's skills, huh, interesting."

He Qing saw that he looked lazy and carefree, and advised him anxiously: "Pay attention to your own affairs. Don't think that everything will be fine after entering the sect. If you fail the assessment, you will still be driven down the mountain. You can't use the magic tools as you like now, and the cultivation of Tianxin Jue is slow. I don't know if you can find the secret magic sound of the Twelve Capitals of Heaven. During this period, don't provoke Qingru again. At least she can help you pass the assessment."

Su Guang silently watched He Qing, listening to her chattering, his eyes filled with a possessiveness that he himself had not yet realized -

No matter how good this woman was at changing her face, at least the side of her that she showed in front of him was one that no one had ever seen before.

Including Gu Changnian, who was staring at this place in the yard.

Thinking of this, Su Guang suddenly chuckled, stretched out his long arms and pulled the person into his arms.

He looked into He Qing's warning eyes with his narrow eyes, and whispered in a low voice, "With Master here, how could I be driven down the mountain?"

He Qing and Su Guang looked at each other for a long time. He Qing pulled the corners of his lips with a smile that did not reach his eyes. A wind blade flew out instantly and hit the hand on his waist.

Su Guang quickly let go of He Qing, but a bloody scratch was still left on his arm. He glanced at the wound on his hand indifferently, then looked at the back of He Qing who had turned and left, and his smile deepened.
