Somehow, after meeting Lu Li, the big villain, He Qing actually felt a lot more relaxed.
She walked forward and said, "I was wondering why you were not there despite the hustle and bustle over there. It turns out you were hiding here."
Lu Li stared into He Qing's eyes, as if trying to see something from them. After a moment, he jokingly said, "How can that be convenient? If I were present, wouldn't it disturb the 'heartfelt conversation' between you and your beloved disciple?"
He Qing is being sarcastic again. But after a closer look, he didn't feel that Lu Li was in a bad mood. Instead, he seemed to be in a happy mood. He couldn't help but wonder, "What are you happy about?"
Lu Li's eyes passed over her lightly, and he walked into his room first. After He Qing caught up with him, he said, "Master, in order to save me, he did not hesitate to take someone's life in the Immortal Gate. It is really a moving poem." He turned back and glanced at her, and then said, "But it would be better if Master could discuss it with me before taking action next time."
He thought that he had spent a lot of effort to use those magic weapons to trap Chen Sanyi, and was planning to capture the puppet and interrogate him in detail, but he didn't expect that He Qing would kill the "person" directly as soon as he arrived.
However, Lu Li's thinking was always consistent with He Qing's, and this post-war review really touched her heart.
He Qing slammed the door shut with his remaining anger, and after setting up the barrier, he turned around and accused: "You didn't tell me that it was a puppet. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have done it, right?"
"Oh, so Master didn't see it. Master even acted so confident in front of Xuan Qingzi," Lu Li came to the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea, saying with a half-smile, "You've worked so hard."
The scene of these two partners closing the door and blaming each other made He Qing want to laugh. She also went over and poured herself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and said proudly: "When the rumors are over, I will go straight to Yuling Palace to kill him."
Lu Li lowered his head and sipped the tea, then turned the cup and said slowly: "Let's not talk about whether you can do it or not. Even if you succeed, you just killed him today. Once he dies, you will be the first to be suspected. Master, do you want to betray the immortal sect?"
"I will never betray you. I will never betray you." He Qing said this without hesitation.
Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he said meaningfully: "I didn't realize that Master is so loyal to the Immortal Sect."
He Qing thought, how can I be loyal to the Immortal Sect? It is obvious that I don't want to be hunted down forever after betraying the Immortal Sect. However, these are private matters, and she does not intend to share them with Lu Li.
He Qing poured himself another cup of tea with one hand, drank it slowly, and stretched out his other hand towards him: "Hmm."
Lu Li looked from the hand to He Qing's face: "What do you mean?"
He Qing put down the cup: "Gong Ling, let me see."
Lu Li was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Master, why do you want to see my magic weapon?"
He Qing looked at him for a long while, chuckled and said, "Why are you pretending to be so rude to me? Your palace bell can control the magic tools of the Yuling Palace, but you never told me before. Let me see if there's anything strange about it."
Lu Li said nothing.
If He Qing had come to him to ask for the palace bell an incense stick ago, he might have agreed. But now... When Lu Li thought of He Qing and Gu Changnian doing almost identical things, his mood suddenly became not so good.
"Humph, you and Gu Changnian are indeed worthy of being master and disciple." Lu Li said sarcastically, took out the palace bell from his belt and handed it over.
He Qing took the silver palace bell and took a closer look. She immediately discovered from the gaps that there seemed to be a living creature inside. It was looking at her through the gaps with eyes smaller than rice grains!
He Qing was startled and lifted the palace bell a little further away, causing a melodious ring. She asked in surprise, "You actually raised insects in the magic weapon!?"
Lu Li looked into He Qing's eyes and said meaningfully, "It's not a bug, it's a monster."
His thoughts at this moment were a little subtle. He didn't want He Qing to realize the truth too early, but he was curious about how He Qing would react after knowing the truth, so he hoped that she could realize something.
As Lu Li expected, He Qing reacted quickly. The demon beast he was talking about was the one that had previously broken into the Monster Mountain and caused trouble. His face changed immediately.
He Qing waved his sleeves to set up a barrier outside the room, and said in a deep voice with a tense face: "Why is this monster here with you? What do you want to do by trapping it by your side?"
Lu Li had some tentativeness in his eyes, and asked slowly, "Master, how can you be so sure that I trapped it, rather than it coming to me on its own initiative?"
He Qing thought about it for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It mistook your aura for that of a demon god and wants to be your demon pet?"
"…"
He Qing sighed angrily and speechlessly: "How could you not inform me of such a big thing in advance? You even used the palace bell to control the magic weapon of the Yuling Palace. No wonder Chen Sanyi discovered your identity." After a pause, he added more dissatisfiedly: "You just said that Gu Changnian also wanted to see your magic weapon? I... Young Master, have you ever considered my situation?"
Lu Li looked at He Qing for a long time, and confirmed that she still couldn't discover the truth. He felt relieved but also a little disappointed.
This woman really didn't consider that he might have any identity other than the Young Lord of Demonic Path.
Seeing that He Qing was so angry that he wanted to cancel the cooperation directly, Lu Li gave a satisfactory answer at the right time. He sat down slowly, lifting his robe and said, "If Chen Sanyi wanted to expose all this, he would not have stayed to yell at you."
After listening to this, He Qing calmed down and thought about it carefully. He felt that this was the truth. At least it could temporarily relax his mind, but it was only temporary.
If someone holds such a big handle in their hand, it will always be a big worry if it is not removed.
He Qing looked at the palace bell again, frowning tightly: "What are you going to do with this thing? You can't always carry it with you, right?"
Lu Li smiled and said, "Why not?"
"Why not?" He Qing gritted his teeth and said with a forced smile: "It's already the limit for me to cover up the demonic energy in you. I have to be a god from heaven to erase the aura of the demon beast, right?" His voice stopped abruptly.
He Qing suddenly thought that if Lu Li had been carrying this monster since the Monster Mountain, then he must have spent a lot of energy and skills to cover up the monster.
He had to suppress not only his own demonic energy, but also the aura of the demon beast. He also had a forbidden spell on his body that could suppress his power...
Thinking of this, He Qing couldn't help but doubt his previous judgment -
Is this guy's current strength really inferior to hers?
