Chen Sanyi seemed to have laughed enough, and finally stopped, wiping his tears and sighing: "Now that I have come to this, I will speak frankly. I can give you the magical beast under the forbidden ground of my Yuling Palace, as long as you can take it away. But," Chen Sanyi paused, revealing a sinister eye from the corner of his sleeves, staring at Lu Li, and said in a sly tone: "You have to use him in exchange."
He Qing had already expected him to propose this deal, so he shook his head slowly and uttered two words in a gentle voice: "No."
Chen Sanyi put down his hand, and with that humble look again, he said helplessly: "Master Heqing, you probably don't want people to know that the Demonic Young Master is hiding in your Yaoguang Sect, right?"
"Young Master of the Demonic Path?" He Qing spread his hands with a puzzled look on his face: "Where is it? Do you have any evidence?"
"…"
He Qing looked at Chen San coldly and sneered: "Master Chen, let me put my words here. If I, He Qing, want to force my way into this forbidden area, your disciples will not be able to stop me. Rather than a head-on confrontation, you should let me in. You and I both know why your Yuling Palace has come to this point. If you want to drag me down with you, I'm afraid your Yuling Palace will never be able to gain a foothold in the Immortal Sect again."
He Qing's words hit Chen Sanyi's heart accurately -
Think about it, the Yuling Palace was founded thousands of years ago, but just because it started out as a Taoist priest who drove corpses, it is still regarded as a small and insignificant sect by the immortals until today. This is the pain in the hearts of every sect leader. Chen Sanyi, who is known as the most intelligent person in the Yuling Palace, is even more unwilling to accept this. He is unwilling to humble himself and be trampled under the feet of the five major immortal sects on Lingshan Mountain. If the Yuling Palace wants to be worshipped and worshipped by others, it must strive to be the first!
Unfortunately, the spirit control technique he learned from the magic beast has reached a bottleneck, and he must look for a new opportunity. This Demonic Young Master is the best tool for the Spirit Control Palace to dominate the immortal gate!
If the rumors that the Demonic Young Master's cultivation was taught after being inspired by the demon god are true, as long as he has the young master in his hands, it will not be a problem to learn as many ancient techniques as he wants...
Thinking of the humiliation that the Yuling Palace had always suffered and his own planning over the years, Chen Sanyi gritted his teeth and veins bulged on his forehead, but he could do nothing to He Qing in his rage.
He Qing did not intend to push the enemy to the limit, so he softened his tone and said, "It is almost impossible for the Yuling Palace to completely break the seal on the monster. Its value must have been squeezed out by the Yuling Palace. If the remaining seals are not broken, you will not be able to sense the monster. Why not let me handle it."
The corners of Chen Sanyi's mouth trembled slightly, as if he wanted to force a smile in his extreme anger, but couldn't do it.
He Qing nodded slightly: "Tonight, I will come in person, goodbye."
Looking at He Qing's departing back, Chen Sanyi wished he could bite his teeth to pieces. He raised his hand and called a zombie from the dark: "Go, bring Gu Changnian over to me."
The zombie bent over stiffly, then jumped into the woods at an extremely agile speed and disappeared.

He Qing and Lu Li walked side by side on the forest path. Although the air was hot and humid, it happened that both of them had cool constitutions, so they not only did not feel stuffy, but felt very comfortable instead.
Lu Li smiled and said, "Master is really born to be a robber. He robs and robs people, and even asks the host to open the door to welcome him."
He Qing walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, smacking his lips and said, "Do you think it's easy to enter that forbidden area? Why should I take the risk if I can avoid getting hurt?"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "Since Master is unwilling to take risks, why bother rushing to do this?"
Last night, He Qing told him that he would help him get the monster back, and he would not have to do anything in the process. Negotiations or transactions would never affect his interests. Although Lu Li did not understand He Qing's intention, he was happy to see He Qing do it for him.
But just as she finished speaking, He Qing beside her suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Lu Li also slowed down his pace and turned around to look at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
He Qing stood there in silence, as if he had thought it over again and again, before he said in a tepid tone: "Because this is the last thing I will do for you."
Lu Li's eyes turned slightly cold, and he responded indifferently: "Oh?"
He Qing lowered his head, unconsciously rubbing the moss on the stone bricks with his toes, and said hesitantly: "Lu Li, after this matter is over, our cooperation will be over."
These words came too suddenly. Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, smiling: "I thought I had made it very clear the night before."
He Qing shook his head and said, "That's why I have to do this. You will bring me trouble, Lu Li."
All along, He Qing could not accept the reality of this world, and naturally could not regard the people in this world as real people. He Qing firmly believed that once she completely integrated her spirit into this world, she would be hurt by this world and the people in this world.
She must firmly grasp one central idea: anything that hinders her is a stumbling block, and anything that is beneficial to her is a tool, nothing more.
Just like Lu Li.
Lu Li's future is foreseeable. He is just a villain. When facing Gu Changnian, who has the aura of the male protagonist, his ending is bound to be miserable. The deeper the bond with Lu Li, the more dangerous He Qing will be.
However, after the crisis brought by Gu Changnian was resolved, He Qing suddenly realized that Lu Li was special to her. He was the only person since He Qing entered the book who could make her forget that he was a paper man.
However, he liked teasing her more and more. In He Qing's opinion, the words "You guessed wrong" were almost equivalent to a heart-warming hint. However, even though she knew he did it on purpose, she still couldn't help being teased by him.
Lu Li's specialness was too dangerous for Yu Heqing.
So, she had to stop here. She couldn't allow herself to step into the pit even though she knew it was a pit ahead.
"Trouble?" Lu Li pondered the word carefully and chuckled, "Trouble..."
He Qing didn't look at Lu Li's expression. This was a decision she made after careful consideration and it couldn't be easily overturned. She had already imagined Lu Li's possible reactions many times in her mind. The next step was to recite the lines according to the script.
However, Lu Li said: "Since you already regard me as a trouble, then there is no need to be so troublesome. I can do this myself." His voice was very soft, his tone was very gentle, and he was extremely tolerant.
He Qing's heart suddenly clenched, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at him, but he just smiled and stretched out his hand: "Let's go, go back."
Damn it, damn it!
He Qing looked at the hand that Lu Li extended to him, pursed his lips and tried to brainwash himself: I can't believe it, this guy is trying to make me feel soft-hearted on purpose!
But even if she used all her strength, she couldn't suppress the guilt that was surging in her heart. She could only avoid Lu Li's sight and pass by him.
