This was the second time He Qing had this thought——
If there were no personal grudge between her and Gu Changnian because of the original owner, Gu Changnian would indeed be a good assistant to Yu Heqing, especially when it comes to times like this when they need to be united against the outside world.
pity.
He Qing raised his chin slightly towards Bai Hong in his arms and said, "You use the whisk well."
Gu Changnian was stunned. He did not expect He Qing to suddenly praise him, and it was a belated reaction to what happened last night. But before he could come to his senses, He Qing had already left.
Gu Changnian was in a daze for a long time, feeling inexplicably happy in his heart.

He Qing went to Lu Li's room. This time he didn't knock, but pushed the door open and walked in. Unexpectedly, just as he set up a barrier, he heard a chuckle behind him, and then he was embraced by someone, with his arms held in front of him, as if he was imprisoned.
Before He Qing could take action, the man sighed in her ear, "You are so slow."
With just these words, He Qing could tell that something was wrong with him. He resisted the urge to hit him with the back of his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Su Guang did not leak any breath from his body, and he pressed all his weight on He Qing, with his head resting on her shoulder. Every breath he took was long and light.
He said lazily, "Have you been enjoying your time with your beloved disciple these past two days? I have been alone in an empty room, waiting for you for two whole days."
He Qing closed his eyes and tried to endure it, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He sent out a gust of wind that bounced Su Guang away heavily, then wrapped his shadow around his wrist and threw him onto the bed.
Su Guang lay on the bed and chuckled softly, saying angrily, "What a cruel heart you have."
He Qing walked over slowly, holding the whisk, frowned and looked at him: "Your aura...what happened?"
At the moment, Su Guang seemed like an ordinary person. Not to mention any demonic energy, he didn't even have any spiritual energy, just like when the two first met.
The only difference was that he didn't look like Lu Li at this time.
However, Su Guang did not answer, but just put one arm in front of his eyes, so that He Qing could not see his expression at the moment, and he looked very weak.
He Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly and sat down on the head of the bed. He wanted to transfer some spiritual energy to him, but he was resisted. The spiritual energy transmitted from He Qing's palm all scattered around Su Guang's body, like a thin layer of smoke.
After spending so many days together, He Qing had a better understanding of this man. If he was in a good mood, he would tease her, calling her a master on the left and a disciple on the right. But if he was in a bad mood...
That's how it is now.
Su Guang was so uncooperative that He Qing simply gave up. After a moment of silence, he said, "I knocked on the door, but I didn't know you were in the room."
Su Guang raised the corner of his lips and said with an ambiguous tone, "You were busy talking with your beloved disciple at night, so you didn't think of me in the room."
"..." Ah, I heard it. He Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Just chatting casually, how can it be considered a heart-to-heart talk?"
Suguang still had a faint smile on his lips, and said indifferently: "Well...should I believe you?"
He Qing was about to speak when she felt several people walk out of the barrier she had set up on the North Peak. She glanced at the window and saw that it was getting dark. She was too lazy to deal with Su Guang anymore and picked up the Yiying beside her and said, "Well, you stay angry first, and I'll come back to comfort you after I finish my business."
After making sure that he was fine, He Qing didn't have to worry too much for the time being. After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave. However, he was pulled just as he took a step. He looked down and found that the hem of his clothes was grasped in Su Guang's hand.
Su Guang raised his hand that was blocking his eyes, and stared at He Qing deeply with his dark eyes. He said sinisterly, "Aren't you afraid that I will reveal my identity right away?"
Feeling threatened, He Qing smiled: "You avoided the people from the Yuling Palace when they came. I guess you didn't want to be seen by them? If that's the case, of course I'm not afraid."
"…"
He Qing leaned over and gently stroked Su Guang's forehead as if coaxing a child: "Be good and listen to me. Wait for Master to come back and coax you to sleep."
"…"
This time He Qing did not give Su Guang any chance to entangle him. He used his fingers as a knife and cut off a corner of the hem with lightning speed. He disappeared immediately, leaving only the barrier in the room.
Su Guang clutched the piece of cloth, and there was no displeasure in his narrow eyes, but instead a hint of smile.
He covered his eyes with the cloth and said faintly, "Well, this woman is really not cute at all."

He Qing only regretted that he could not divide himself into several people. He came out of this room and immediately went to another room. Sure enough, Yue Qingru was no longer in the room. She even left a note smartly -
Master, don't worry, I will find a place to hide.
At this moment, a disciple from the mountain gate came running to report that after Yue Qingru left Beifeng, several disciples from the Yuling Palace also left, and then Gu Changnian followed.
One thing after another, He Qing felt very bad. After breaking the note into pieces, he immediately followed the direction in which the people left.
Fortunately, Gu Changnian intentionally left traces of his whisk sweeping through the clouds along the way. When night was about to fall, He Qing found the two senior brothers and sisters who were confronting the disciples of Yuling Palace in a forest far away from Lingshan.
Before this, Gu Changnian had never really fought with the people from the Yuling Palace, and he had never expected that his cultivation would be sucked away after coming into contact with those humanoid magic weapons. Now he was surrounded by several magic weapons, looking a little embarrassed, and he had to protect Le Qingru behind him.
He Qing descended from a great height without saying a word and stood directly in front of Gu Changnian. The circular hurricane he created immediately broke through the encirclement, and the magic weapons fell to the ground.
The disciple of Yuling Palace, who had been attacking fiercely just a moment ago, stopped immediately when he saw He Qing and called back the magic weapon.
He Qing put his hands in his pockets, looked around at the disciples, stared at the familiar-looking one, and said in a gentle voice, "It's you again. It seems that just inviting parents is not enough to educate them."
The disciple grinned and said, "Master, we are here to follow the evil spirit. It is the responsibility of the people in the immortal sect to eliminate the evil spirit, isn't it?"
"Oh." He Qing responded, and said slowly: "Then what are you waiting for?"
"…"
Several disciples of Yuling Palace were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that He Qing didn't even give an explanation or excuse and was just ready to take action.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, Yue Qingru behind Gu Changnian also began to transform. Her body began to tremble, her muscles gradually twisted, her shoulders became wider, and the spine on her back bulged, tearing her clothes. Sharp fangs stretched out from her gradually bulging mouth, and she let out a howl that resounded through the forest -
"Ouch——!!"
