The voices were getting closer and closer. He Qing suddenly got excited and grabbed the wild boar's arched snout and jumped onto a nearby towering tree. He hugged the kicking wild boar and sat on the branch, looking down.
There were three people who came with Yue Qingru, and they were the old team: Qi Guanrui, Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu.
The four of them came to the entrance of Mount Yu and were greatly shocked by the scene before them. Who could have thought that the wasteland mentioned by the immortals and demons would actually be such a paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming?
Gu Changnian only glanced around and ignored the little demons who came forward. He said to Yue Qingru, "Don't delay. Go see your father first." Then he was about to enter the territory of Mount Yu.
The more stable Qi Guanrui stopped him and said, "Let's pass the message first. After all, we need help from others. It would be rude to barge in directly."
Hua Chiyu nodded in agreement: "Although he is Qingru's father, he still has an old grudge with the Immortal Sect. He may not want to see someone from the Immortal Sect directly break into Yushan."
Gu Changnian seemed really anxious, but under the persuasion of Qi Guanrui and Hua Chiyu, he could only force himself to calm down and wait for Yue Qingru to communicate with those little demons.
Then a funny thing happened. Le Qingru squatted on the ground and asked the little demons to pass on the message one by one. The result was that one voice became louder and louder, "People from the Immortal Sect, get out!" Le Qingru emphasized with a confused look on her face that the Demon Lord was her father, but the little demons didn't listen at all.
In the end, Le Qingru was almost forced to transform into a human form and fight with the little demon. He Qing, who had seen enough of the show, jumped down from the tree slowly.
"As the daughter of the Demon Lord of Mount Yu, I cannot enter Mount Yu. If you tell others about this, people will laugh to death." He Qing said as he smashed the wild boar on the group of little demons that instantly stopped fighting.
Seeing He Qing suddenly appear, the four of them were all stunned, and then they all greeted him with great joy. Yue Qingru even threw herself into He Qing's arms and said in a crying voice: "Master, why did you come to Mount Yu? We thought something happened to you, and we were almost dying of anxiety looking for you!"
He Qing touched her hair and said gently, "I'm fine, right?"
Hua Chiyu was also extremely surprised, but when he looked at Gu Changnian beside him, his chest was heaving with excitement, his eyes were red, and for a moment he could no longer smile, and he drooped his eyelids with a look of sadness.
Yue Qingru raised her head and sniffed her red nose: "You don't even know how chaotic it is out there."
He Qing said nonchalantly: "I've heard from your father."
"Don't let your guard down," Qi Guanrui sighed. "With the current situation, even if the other four peaks of Lingshan come forward, they can't save you. Many of those people are here for the sword manual and Linghui Sword. You are in danger now."
He Qing smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. The sword manual and the sword are not with me. Even if you kill me, you can't get them."
Qi Guanrui was surprised for a moment: "It's not on you? Then why did you leave Lingshan?"
He Qing raised her eyebrows, saying, "It's a long story." She looked at Yue Qingru and asked, "You came to Mount Yu, aren't you asking Ye Cangyan to help you find my whereabouts?"
Yue Qingru nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I remember my father told me that the demon tribe may not be the fastest to get the news, but they must have the most information, because there are demon tribe connections everywhere in this world, so I suggested coming to Yushan to ask my father to help find you."
He Qing chuckled with an ambiguous tone: It was still thanks to the Heavenly Dao that she, a person from another world, no matter how hard she tried, and no matter how much preparations Su Guang made for the struggle, Heavenly Dao could always get the main storyline back on the "right track".
He Qing said: "Ye Cangyan is discussing with Su Guang, so he probably doesn't have time to see you right now."
When they heard that Suguang was also in Yushan, the four of them suddenly had different expressions on their faces.
Gu Changnian, who had been suppressing his emotions, finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and growled, "Why do you still want to be involved with that young master of the Demon Sect! I have repeatedly covered up for you, and several immortal masters have repeatedly believed in you. Is it just to make you betray the immortal sect?! Master...you, what's wrong with you?!"
(Under your repeated instigation, the son of destiny fell in love with you and deviated from his destiny many times. You need to cut off his emotional ties for him and get him back on the right track.)
Thinking of what Tiandao said, He Qing looked at Gu Changnian with a complicated look -
Before the Heavenly Dao pointed it out, she had never understood why Gu Changnian was so persistent in making her become the master she used to be. Now that she thought about it, Gu Changnian's inexplicable sulking, inexplicable targeting of Lu Li, and inexplicable awkwardness in front of her actually all had traces.
However, He Qing had never thought that Gu Changnian would have such feelings towards her, and he intentionally or unintentionally ignored those details.
(You want to distance yourself from me, but you also want to save me time and time again. What on earth are you thinking and doing? How else do you want to torture me?!)
Thinking carefully about what Gu Changnian said when he lost control of his emotions, it was probably from that time that the seeds in Gu Changnian's heart began to sprout.
But, how ridiculous it is that the reason why this seed was planted in Gu Changnian's heart was because of the restriction that the original owner forcibly tied to He Qing.
If the original owner knew that the life-saving talisman she had obtained for Gu Changnian had actually caused Gu Changnian to fall in love with He Qing, I wonder how she would feel...
Thinking of this, He Qing looked at Gu Changnian with a dull look, and asked in a very rogue tone: "Did I ask you to cover up for me? I should have reminded you not to have any hope in me. I have already given you advice. The choice you made on your own may move you, but it cannot move me."
"..." He Qing's cold tone was like a steel knife stabbing straight into Gu Changnian's heart, making his face pale and his body swaying slightly, as if he had suffered a huge blow and could hardly stand.
Hua Chiyu quickly supported him and wanted to say something to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say. After all, from the perspective of Master He Qing, these heartless words did not seem to be wrong.
Qi Guanrui also had a grim expression on his face. Although He Qing was talking to Gu Changnian, his heart seemed to have been pierced accurately, and he even forgot some of the suggestions he had just wanted to give to He Qing.
The only one who was not affected was Le Qingru, who had not yet come to her senses. She asked cautiously, "Then Master, are you really determined to betray the Immortal Sect?"
He Qing did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked up at the sky separated by the treetops like window grilles for a while, and said firmly: "For me, there is no such thing as betrayal. I am only loyal to myself."
Yue Qingru vaguely felt that these words were like a declaration, but she didn't know who He Qing was talking to. She followed her master's gaze and looked up for a long time, but still didn't understand.
