Just to avoid giving Su Guang the opportunity to ask further questions, He Qing kept talking all the way until his mouth was dry, his throat was smoking, and even his voice was hoarse.
Suguang couldn't help laughing: "You'd better stop talking."
He Qing covered his throat and cleared it, then said in a breathy voice: "Ahem, then don't ask."
Su Guang smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Okay, I won't ask." Although he was a little concerned about why He Qing said that he was not the head of the Yaoguang Sect, he didn't have to know. Whether he was the head of the Yaoguang Sect or not would not affect his attitude towards He Qing.
But he didn't intend to say this idea out loud, because the way He Qing was so guilty that he made jokes was really funny.
Not long after He Qing and Su Guang entered Mount Yu, a lot of small animals appeared in front of them. There were rabbits and wild boars nearby, and foxes and deer behind huge trees entangled by tangled vines. They were all looking at the two of them with curiosity and vigilance.
And further up on the hillside, there were countless wolves, staring at them hungrily, as if they were ready to pounce and kill them immediately.
The wild boar grunted a few times, and suddenly uttered a rough human voice: "People from the Immortal Sect, get out!"
He Qing swallowed his dry and sore throat and signaled Su Guang to speak with his eyes.
Su Guang glanced at her with a smile, and said indifferently: "I want to see Ye Cangyan."
Perhaps it was because Su Guang seemed too easy to talk to, which immediately caused more noises of people being driven away. All kinds of strange animals began to clamor, "Get out!" "Get out!" And those who had not yet started practicing, such as monkeys, were chattering non-stop in all directions.
He Qing's head hurt and his throat was burning from the noise, but Su Guang, on the other hand, seemed quite happy. He looked at the wild boars and mountain cats, as if he was visiting a zoo.
He Qing rolled his eyes, then immediately pulled out his Shadow Sword and smashed it forward, creating a ditch ten feet wide and four feet long in the ground.
In an instant, everything was quiet.
He Qing said hoarsely, "Let Ye Cangyan come out for a home visit..."
※
He Qing imagined what Ye Cangyan looked like. After all, as a supporting character who provided magical weapons to the male protagonist, there was no detailed description of him in the book.
Considering that Yue Qingru looks more like her mother Le Ling's genetic inheritance and Ye Cangyan's breed, He Qing thought that maybe she would follow the same bold and unrestrained path as Shi Tianxiao.
Turns out, I guessed wrong.
The howling of the wolves on the hillside spread throughout the entire Yushan Mountain. In less than an incense stick of time, Ye Cangyan arrived.
Ye Cangyan did not seem to use any special magic to maintain his youthful appearance. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a regular bun, a medium-length black beard, and a coarse linen shirt. He looked like an ordinary teacher and did not have the image of a demon lord who dominated a region.
Seeing He Qing, Ye Cangyan bowed awkwardly and said, "I didn't know it was the leader of Yaoguang Sect who came here. I'm sorry for the rudeness."
He Qing's eyebrows twitched, thinking that this demon lord was very different from what he had imagined... But then he cleared his throat and said, "It's a sudden arrival, it's okay."
When Ye Cangyan heard He Qing's hoarse voice, he apologized and walked quickly to the bushes nearby. He first picked a leaf and held it into a bowl shape, then collected some dew from the stamens of a bunch of purple morning glory.
After turning back, Ye Cangyan handed the leaf to He Qing with both hands: "The juice of this flower is good for dry throat and loss of voice." His every move was very gentle and elegant.
He Qing looked at Su Guang who was standing beside him, and saw him close his eyes and nod slightly, then he took the juice and drank it all in one gulp. The cool juice went down his throat, and his throat, which had been sore just now, felt much more soothed.
He Qing said, "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Ye Cangyan was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Master He Qing is here, but…what happened to Qingru?"
"Qingru is fine, nothing happened." He Qing pointed at Su Guang and said, "He has something to discuss with you."
Ye Cangyan looked Su Guang up and down for a moment and asked, "Who is this?"
Suguang uttered two words indifferently: "Suguang."
Upon hearing that the visitor was the Young Master of the Demonic Path, Ye Cangyan's amber eyes, which were exactly the same as Yue Qingru's, suddenly widened a bit, and then he said with a smile: "Master Heqing came here with a demon cultivator. I thought they were just personal friends of Master Heqing, but I didn't expect that they were such an amazing person like the Young Master."
The conversation was casual and relaxed, and it was hard to tell what Ye Cangyan's attitude was. He just made a gesture of invitation and said to He Qing, "You two should go in and have a rest first."
On the way, Ye Cangyan had almost no intention of communicating with Su Guang. He kept walking side by side with He Qing, and kept asking about Le Qingru's situation in his words.
Ye Cangyan said that he had already known about Yue Qingru's joining the Yaoguang Sect of Lingshan Mountain, and it was he who ordered his men to secretly protect Yue Qingru and send him all the way to the gate of Lingshan Mountain.
In addition, he also learned through Le Ling that Le Qingru's demon pill was with He Qing, and he was very grateful to He Qing for protecting and caring for Le Qingru.
But when talking about Le Ling, Ye Cangyan's expression was obviously a little unnatural. It was obvious that when Le Ling told him the news, the conversation between the old couple was not pleasant.
"In fact, I was able to find out a little bit about Qingru's cultivation in Yaoguang Sect. We are a diverse tribe of demons, and any animal or plant with spiritual charm can convey our message." After a pause, Ye Cangyan continued, "It's just that the spiritual energy of the sacred mountain is overwhelming, and there are too many barriers, so the information I got is not exhaustive."
He Qing endured the discomfort in his throat and said briefly: "Qingru's practice is going smoothly. According to her current progress, if nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to form a pill next year."
Ye Cangyan smiled with relief: "Master Heqing, thank you for your concern. I owe them a lot. Master Heqing has protected them both, which is a great favor to me. If Master Heqing needs me, Yushan, in the future, please let me know."
Upon hearing this, He Qing couldn't help but look back at the light that was casually brushing past the flowers on the roadside, and couldn't help but think darkly: Could it be that this guy asked her to come to Yushan with him for this purpose?
Ye Cangyan lives in Wolong Valley of Yushan Mountain. There is a house in the valley that is exactly the same as Le Ling's home. It is located in this deep valley, simple, elegant and warm. The only thing is the misty fog around it and the damp and cold temperature, which makes it seem a little out of place.
Ye Cangyan arranged for He Qing and Su Guang to stay in the guest room, and said kindly: "You two should take a rest first, we will talk in detail later."
He Qing nodded slightly: "You go ahead and do your work."
After closing the door, Ye Cangyan's eyes immediately darkened, and his expression was no longer as honest and kind as before. He strode out of the yard and whistled, and several gray wolves jumped out from the bushes.
Ye Cangyan said in a deep voice: "Go and find out if something happened in Lingshan."
"Ouch—"
