He Qing looked at Su Guang for a long time, wondering what his purpose was in saying these words. Was he teasing? Testing? Or was there a one in ten thousand chance that he really had some feelings for her.
But Su Guang's acting skills are first-rate. If he were to act, He Qing, as a spectator outside the play, would not be able to tell the difference. As an opponent in the play, she would be even less able to tell the difference.
After a long silence in the room, He Qing said quietly, "Suguang, the two of us cannot be each other's lovers."
"Oh?" Su Guang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What do you mean by that?"
He Qing simply leaned into Su Guang's arms and began to give examples one by one: "You see, I am afraid of death, and so are you. If we are in danger, we will definitely focus on ourselves and will not sacrifice anything for each other. I have no principles, and you have no bottom line. Neither of us is a good person. If there is a day when we are in conflict, I am afraid that we will only think about how to betray each other."
"…"
"We are so similar." He Qing moved his hands held by Su Guang and murmured, "It's like your body temperature is low and my hands are cold. We have been holding hands like this for a long time. Do you feel the warmth?"
Su Guang's eyes moved slightly. He just didn't like He Qing putting him behind others and made a joking remark casually, but he didn't expect to hear such serious words.
She did not agree or refuse, she just said these words in a calm tone that was close to being cold.
Su Guang had a very subtle feeling in his heart, but he hid it very well. He just curled his lips in an ambiguous way, let go of He Qing's hand, and hugged her gently, sighing, "I'm really happy that you understand me so well."
He Qing's eyebrows couldn't help twitching: This person is really stubborn...
As if sensing He Qing's silence, Su Guang chuckled and said casually: "However, you are wrong about one thing. No matter who stays by my side, they will never betray me, because those who betray me will eventually go down the same path."
The words stopped at the point, and He Qing understood it clearly enough. It would be more accurate to say that Su Guang was warning her rather than correcting her.
Warn her not to think of betraying their cooperation.
Listening to Su Guang's steady and powerful heartbeat, He Qing felt for the first time a chilling fear from this villain in the book.
He Qing gathered his thoughts, sat up from Su Guang's arms, and said seriously, "Okay, let me check your body quickly. You never know when I might have to fight with the head of Yuling Palace."
Su Guang saw that He Qing was pretending to be calm, but he just let her open his clothes with a smile in his eyes.
After He Qing saw the forbidden spell clearly, his eyes widened immediately: "What's going on? How could the forbidden spell be broken like this?"
The forbidden spell that was supposed to be a pattern had broken into several spells, scattered irregularly on Su Guang's chest, making people doubt whether the forbidden spell still had its original effect.
Su Guang didn't care and let He Qing come closer to take a look. He said nonchalantly: "If you want to prevent your breath from leaking out, this forbidden spell will be a burden." His words seemed to imply that the forbidden spell was originally a help to him.
But He Qing didn't notice that much at this time. She just frowned and checked Su Guang's Dantian Sea of Consciousness. The actual situation was just as she thought -
Su Guang first forcibly broke the forbidden spell, and then used magic to seal his sea of consciousness in a nearly self-destructive way, so that he could hide his breath so perfectly. But correspondingly, during the period when his sea of consciousness was sealed, the demonic energy and spiritual energy that could not be guided would inevitably cause great fluctuations in his body due to the conflict, which was very painful.
No wonder he has been so weak these past two days.
But just a moment ago, he actually forced his sea of consciousness to break through for a moment, just to scare her...
He Qing looked at him with an indescribable expression: "What is the origin of the Yuling Palace? How could it bring you to this point?"
Su Guang also smiled and looked at He Qing, and said meaningfully: "Aren't you very clear about the origin of Yuling Palace?"
"I don't know." He Qing put his hand on Su Guang's Dantian unhappily, and said, "I also want to ask you, whether the Yuling Palace uses such a weird method to cultivate immortality, is it also obtained from the devil."
"Kung Fu?" Su Guang sneered disdainfully: "It's just a puppet technique for fun."
He Qing, who was concentrating on helping Su Guang reopen his sea of consciousness, took the time to glance at him upon hearing this, and said as if chatting, "Since you said it so lightly, why are you hiding like this?"
Su Guang stared at He Qing for a long while, then ruthlessly exposed him, "If you want to know, just ask directly. You always use such clumsy methods to test me. I've seen it so many times, and I'm annoyed by it."
"..." This person's mood is really changeable. He Qing complained in his heart, blinked awkwardly, and pretended to be busy and continued to cast the spell.
Su Guang rolled his eyes at her and turned his gaze away, saying, "I think you already know that the location of the Yuling Palace is above one of the seals."
"Yeah, I heard about it."
"Although the seal cannot be opened, the first leader of the Yuling Palace was able to control spirits and thus connect with the consciousness of the magical beast sealed below. The spirit-controlling technique that his disciples learned was just a low-level puppet technique learned from a magical beast." His tone showed no disdain for the Yuling Palace.
According to Su Guang, the Yuling Palace learned the magic techniques from the magical beasts in reverse order, so even though they practice with spiritual energy, their perception of the magic energy of the Demon God is abnormally high.
And Su Guang was a disciple of the Demon God, and his aura was so similar that it could attract magical beasts. Naturally, he could not be discovered by the people of Yuling Palace. This was why he avoided Yuling Palace.
After opening Su Guang's sea of consciousness, He Qing adjusted his posture to help him repair the forbidden spell, while asking: "If they continue to practice in this way, when they pass the tribulation, will it be the same as the devil or the immortal?"
The situations of demon cultivators and immortal cultivators when they break through to a high level are different. If an immortal cultivator wants to reach the Mahayana stage and then ascend, he must inevitably go through a heavenly tribulation, but the demon cultivator does not need to do that. It's just that the cultivation process will require greater effort than that of an immortal cultivator, and he will suffer more serious consequences of failure.
"Overcoming the tribulation?" Su Guang said sarcastically, "This kind of demon wants to overcome the tribulation?"
That is to say, the people of Yuling Palace don't even have the chance to reach a high level.
After learning this information, He Qing also vaguely understood why Chen Sanyi asked his disciples to send out magic tools to check Tianmu Cave, and wanted to use the opening of his own sect's forbidden area in exchange for the location of the seals.
Perhaps after several generations, they realized the limitations of the skills they practiced, so they wanted to find more seals of magical beasts and explore new possibilities.
He Qing glanced at Su Guang, who had closed his eyes reluctantly, and couldn't help but feel suspicious: The book said that this young master had been in the world for less than a hundred years, so how did he know so much?
