He Qing's question suddenly popped into his mind, and at the same time, the figure of the mysterious man appeared. Gu Changnian immediately leaned against the wall behind him and closed his eyes tightly.
You must believe in Master. Master is just confused for a moment after being hurt. As long as you expose Lu Li's identity and drive him away from Master, Master will definitely wake up, definitely.
Chen Sanyi.
Gu Changnian suddenly realized that now he could only go to find Chen Sanyi and get the definite proof from Chen Sanyi that could confirm Lu Li's identity. In this way, his master would not be deceived again.
This thought had appeared when Gu Changnian was disturbed by his inner demon. Now that his inner demon has been purified, he should have put aside all the thoughts that arose from his inner demon during that period, but he still couldn't control his thoughts. It seemed that this was really the only feasible method at the moment.
Gu Changnian looked at the dome, whose outline could only be vaguely seen in the night, and there was a bit more determination in his anxious eyes.
※
In the next two days, Chen Sanyi acted like the host. He came to greet He Qing and others early in the morning every day, and said with a smile that he would take them to travel around the mountain.
He Qing naturally didn't believe that he was so kind, but he agreed with a smile.
The area of Yuling Palace is actually not small, but most of it is used as an ordinary Taoist temple to receive pilgrims. Apart from the temple below, the back mountain is nothing more than some mountain scenery.
On the first day, Yue Qingru scared the pilgrims at the Taoist temple half to death. They kept shouting that there was a monster and even called a few young Taoist priests to capture the monster.
The next day, Chen Sanyi led everyone to walk around the back mountain again and again. In the humid and hot woods, Yue Qingru, who always had a hot body, was exhausted.
Every night, He Qing would approach the dome-shaped temple with his soul. Although he could not enter, he could see that the formation there would change every few hours. The damage was not high, but it was extremely difficult to deal with.
On the third day, Chen Sanyi came like a tour guide to lead people out for a tour. There were bursts of birdsong in the woods and the rustling of people's footsteps on the mossy bluestone slabs. Chen Sanyi showed almost all the main halls and side halls of the Yuling Palace in detail, and finally came to the vicinity of the dome.
Across the layers of trees, Chen Sanyi hunched over and looked at the dome in the distance. He said with great reverence, "I know that Sect Leader Heqing is very interested in this side hall in the back mountain, but this is a forbidden area in my Yuling Palace, so I cannot take Sect Leader Heqing to see it." He was telling Heqing that he knew what Heqing was doing with his soul every night.
He Qing had never thought of avoiding Chen Sanyi's perception, so he smiled calmly: "Since Taoist Chen is so frank, I do have some questions, and I hope Taoist Chen can answer them. Taoist Chen seems to be completely uninterested in what happened in Liangzhou City these past two days?"
"Master He Qing, do you want to ask about the letter I wrote to Senior Qi Guan thirty or forty years ago?"
Qi Guanrui had been holding it in for two days, and finally he could talk about this matter directly. He immediately said, "Yes, after Grandpa passed away, I found a letter from Master Chen among his belongings. I wonder what Master Chen wanted to talk to Grandpa about at that time?"
Chen Sanyi rubbed his hands, as if recalling: "I remember that year when I observed the stars at night, I saw that there was something unusual in the Guanjing Mountain Range, so I made a bold guess." He laughed twice and said: "However, my Yuling Palace is a small sect, how can I meet Senior Qi Guan? So the matter was left unresolved."
The answer was so mysterious and cryptic, it was obviously a perfunctory one. Qi Guanrui frowned and wanted to ask more questions, but He Qing raised his hand to stop him.
He Qing looked at Chen Sanyi with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said to Gu Changnian without turning his head: "Changnian, take them back to rest first, I will talk to Taoist Chen again, Lu Li stay."
Gu Changnian didn't want to leave, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to disobey his master's order. He could only look at Chen San reluctantly and said, "Yes."
Chen Sanyi seemed to have noticed Gu Changnian's gaze and couldn't help but look at him straight in the eye. However, he saw that his eyes were burning, as if he had a lot of questions in his heart, which made Chen Sanyi pay attention.
After those people left, Chen Sanyi turned around, no longer concealing the desire in his eyes, and stared at Lu Li's face greedily, as if he was looking at a piece of fat meat that was about to fall into his mouth.
This look made He Qing feel nauseous. He cleared his throat expressionlessly and reminded, "My disciple has grown up to meet Master Chen's aesthetic standards?"
"What?" This question was a little beyond Chen Sanyi's expectations, and he was a little confused for a moment.
Lu Li couldn't help laughing and lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes.
He Qing walked between Chen Sanyi and Lu Li as if taking a leisurely stroll, put away his politeness, pointed at the dome and said casually: "Master Chen, I want to visit that side hall." His tone was casual, but it was not a negotiating tone at all.
Chen Sanyi smiled and said, "Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly. That side hall is my Yuling Palace..."
"It's the forbidden area of your Yuling Palace." He Qing interrupted him and said indifferently: "You explained it clearly, and I heard it clearly. That's why I told you that I want to visit it."
After all, Chen Sanyi had a "life-and-death" relationship with He Qing and had some understanding of He Qing. Hearing her make such a rude and straightforward request, it was estimated that she had even thought about how to force her way in.
Chen Sanyi's face froze, and he looked behind He Qing and said meaningfully, "Master He Qing, I actually have no vested interest in you."
Chen Sanyi already knew Lu Li's identity, and He Qing was also clear that he knew it. The two of them had been putting on a show these days just to test each other's needs.
"It's not a conflict of interest... well." However, He Qing chuckled and looked at him slightly sideways: "Master Chen, it's too early to say anything."
Chen Sanyi showed doubt: "Master He Qing means..."
"I want something from the forbidden area," He Qing said softly, "Can Taoist Master Chen give it to me?"
Chen San was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed: "It turns out that Sect Leader He Qing also has this idea, how wonderful."
He Qing frowned: "This idea?"
Chen Sanyi shook his head and laughed for a long time, and said breathlessly: "I spent so much effort to figure it out, but I didn't expect that the Yaoguang Sect, one of the pioneers of the immortal sect, would do the same as my Yuling Palace and do whatever it takes to become stronger!"
Seeing Chen Sanyi's crazy and mad smile, He Qing couldn't help but pretend to be an old man looking at his phone on the subway. He glanced at Lu Li beside him. He had a calm expression and no emotion could be seen.
