In order to allow Le Qingru to grow up smoothly, her biological father took out the demon pill from Le Qingru's body. Although this could ensure that Le Qingru would not emit demonic energy, it also caused her to have no way to practice.
Le Ling understood her daughter's character and knew that she had always wanted to possess great power and control her own life. If she knew the existence of this demon pill, she would definitely take it back. Once the demon pill was put back into Le Qingru's body, Le Qingru would most likely be controlled by the demonic power and lose all humanity.
The reason why Le Ling continued to keep this magic pill was to be able to save her daughter at the critical moment.
Therefore, even Yue Qingru himself was unaware of his extraordinary talent.
But even though Le Ling said it so tactfully, He Qing still heard the hidden meaning in her words——
That is to say, if one day Le Ling can no longer protect her daughter, and Le Qingru is in danger of life again, Le Ling will risk everything to return the demon pill to Le Qingru, even if she will go crazy and do something against the will of heaven and earth, Le Ling will do whatever it takes, just to exchange Le Qingru's safety.
This thing is equivalent to a nuclear weapon, and Le Ling is the one responsible for pressing the button. He Qing thought: Those people in this village should be thankful that they did not cause any actual harm to Le Qingru.
"Master," Le Ling said with tears on her face, "I can see that you really care about Qingru. I am telling you this, which means I am handing Qingru's life over to you..."
He Qing sighed heavily: Yes, if the people in the Immortal Sect knew about Yue Qingru's special situation, they would never accept Yue Qingru to stay in the Immortal Sect.
In other words, simply expelling her from the Immortal Sect would be the best outcome. Worse still, the best outcome would be to take advantage of the fact that Yue Qingru has no power to resist and destroy her foundation first, thus cutting off the possibility of her harming the world in the future.
At this point, He Qing's impression of Le Ling has changed. Le Ling is not someone who tolerates and gives in endlessly. She has a bottom line that she will never allow anyone to cross, and that is Le Qingru's safety.
He Qing tightly grasped the demon pill, hid it in his storage bag, and said firmly: "I understand what you mean."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of banging and noisy sounds coming from outside the door.
He Qing walked to the cracked wall and looked out, and saw a number of people outside the fence throwing stones into the yard, cursing as they threw stones—
"Get out of here, you monster! Get out of our village!"
"Le Ling, get out of here too! The village doesn't welcome a filthy woman like you who has an affair with a monster!"
…
Lu Li leaned against the crooked pillar of the house and said to Gu Changnian with a smile, "Great! Doesn't this save my senior brother from the trouble of going door to door to explain?"
Gu Changnian obviously did not expect that even though Yue Qingru had not been in the village for more than half a year and had done nothing when he came back this time, people from this village would come to his door for no reason. Lu Li's mocking tone made him extremely uncomfortable and he could not help but frown.
Le Ling smiled bleakly and said, "Don't worry, Immortal, they will leave after they finish smashing it."
He Qing said nothing, but secretly sent a message to Yue Qingru.
Seeing that He Qing seemed a little unhappy, Gu Changnian stepped forward and bowed ashamedly said, "Master, I will take care of it right away."
"No need," He Qing quickly replied, "You are not needed here."
"..." Gu Changnian heard disdain in her extremely light tone and gritted his teeth involuntarily.
A hint of cunning flashed across Lu Li's eyes. He walked to stand beside He Qing and said in a very intimate and equal tone: "Master, let Junior Sister come back." He had already felt the fluctuations of He Qing's magic just now, but he still deliberately suggested this just to show Gu Changnian the tacit understanding between him and He Qing.
He Qing nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Lu Li tilted his head slightly and glanced at Gu Changnian out of the corner of his eye. As expected, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Le Ling shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, Immortal, Qingru's hand is too heavy, she might hurt someone..."
"Madam, you underestimate my apprentice." He Qing said this without turning his head, then opened the door and walked out.
When the villagers saw He Qing, they all stopped throwing stones, but someone in the crowd started to make a noise, "They are the monster's accomplices! We need to drive them out together!"
As a result, the villagers followed suit and immediately raised stones to throw at him. He Qing used magic to amplify his voice and said softly: "I have no objection if you want to cause trouble for this mother and daughter, but if you try to attack me, even if a speck of dust falls on me, I will regard it as a challenge." After he finished speaking, the graphite in the corner of the wall immediately exploded into pieces, but He Qing did not move at all.
The villagers were shocked when they saw this. They could see that He Qing had powerful magical powers, but they didn't know where she came from. They were at a loss for a moment and did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, Yue Qingru, who had received the message, also hurried back and flew onto the fence. Looking at the mess in the yard, she raised her right hand with a gloomy face and gritted her teeth, "You... you dare to bully my mother! I..."
"Qingru!" Seeing that Yue Qingru was about to attack, Le Ling rushed out and called her: "Don't do it!"
"..." Yue Qingru looked back at her mother with red eyes, and seeing her panic and fear, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking. However, when she turned her eyes to the master who was standing calmly at the door with his hands in his pockets, a bit of grievance and help rose in her eyes.
He Qing said blandly, "You should solve your own problems yourself. If you kill someone, you will be expelled from the sect."
Le Ling and Gu Changnian looked at He Qing in shock at the same time. Le Ling even stepped forward and grabbed He Qing's arm, asking in disbelief: "Master, how could you..."
"Madam," He Qing took out one hand and patted the back of Le Ling's hand, saying gently, "Open your eyes and take a good look. Your daughter has grown up."
"…"
On the other side, Yue Qingru also understood the hidden meaning of her master's words. Her master did not stop her from taking revenge, and even encouraged her to do so, but at the same time he also warned her to be careful.
All of a sudden, Yue Qingru's heart, which had almost cooled down, warmed up again. She grinned, and rushed towards the group of villagers in an instant, hammering or kicking them, or using magic to control them to spin in the air, or tying them up and dragging them, howling all the way, without any rules.
In a short while, all the villagers who came to cause trouble were injured as they wished, and no one was seriously hurt.
Finally, she had vented all the humiliation she had endured for more than a decade. Yue Qingru felt relieved. She took off the old cloth on her head to reveal a pair of wolf ears, put her hands on her hips and said, "If anyone dares to cause trouble for my mother again, I will kill you!"
