This was where the old woman once lived. Suguang preserved the small shabby house, and even the field far away from the house was still there, without even a single weed as tall as a person being burned.
The book says that this piece of land and this little house were the purgatory where the old woman suffered torture during her lifetime, but they were also the source of all the beautiful memories of her childhood.
The hard-working father, and the frail mother who takes care of the family and stands on the edge of the field calling her father to come home for dinner...these are the only softness left in the old woman's heart after she turned evil.
Therefore, even though her body had become a breeding ground for poisonous insects, she only placed the most important mother poisonous insect in the field, cutting her flesh and taking her blood for feeding every day.
She placed the mother Gu, which was equivalent to her own life, in a precious place that was more important than her own life.
At the beginning, He Qing relied on this information to find the mother Gu in the first place.
At that time, He Qing still stubbornly regarded everyone as paper people, but he already felt sympathy for the old woman. Now He Qing has completely accepted the reality of this world, and looking at this piece of land overgrown with weeds, he is naturally even more emotional.
She said, "At that time, you personally killed her, which caused the mother Gu to die so quickly, right?"
Su Guang hugged He Qing from behind, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said gently: "Didn't you know this a long time ago?"
He Qing pulled the corner of his mouth mechanically: "To those who are protected by you, you may be the most gentle god in the world." On the contrary, you are a cold-blooded and ruthless demon god.
Su Guang seemed to have heard the sadness in He Qing's words, and led her into the small shabby house. In the house, they saw several three or four-year-old children squatting in several broken clay jars. They were covering their mouths with fear in their eyes.
Su Guang asked the shocked He Qing: "So am I gentle to them?"
He Qing's eyes widened. He could never have imagined that Su Guang would let these little lives go. His face, which had just been dull, suddenly showed a smile: "This is..."
Su Guang said casually: "These ones are too young, they haven't had time to grow up."
He Qing looked up at Su Guang with a smile on his face for a while, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
The emotional contrast was so great that Su Guang could tell what He Qing was thinking, but he still raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"
"Reward." He Qing said.
Su Guang curled his lips deliberately: "It seems that these little things are not worth much."
This seemed to be because he was complaining that the reward was not enough. He Qing patted him lightly and said, "How are you going to deal with them?"
Although these children are young, they are old enough to have memories. They saw Su Guang killing their parents with their own eyes, but they escaped from Su Guang's hands. No matter how they think about it, these children hate him.
Su Guang raised his chin slightly as he looked outside the house: "Isn't there a patriot from the Immortal Sect who is keen on saving the dying and healing the wounded?"
"…"
Qi Guanrui originally thought that all the people in this village had died at the hands of Su Guang. He blamed himself for allowing such a tragedy to happen even though he was there. The news brought by He Qing finally reduced his guilt a lot, and he rushed into the small broken house.
Several young children were quite frightened. Even though Qi Guanrui tried to comfort them with a kind look on his face, the moment he approached, the children started screaming in fear.
He Qing said, "Second Master, these children cannot survive if they continue to stay here. After their emotions have calmed down, you might as well take them back to Lingshan first, and when everything is over, find a good family for them."
Qi Guanrui thought about it and did not agree immediately as He Qing had expected.
He Qing saw his embarrassment and said, "No matter what the situation is in the North, I will ask someone to bring you a message to complete the thing your grandfather wanted to confirm the most before he died. You can rest assured."
Qi Guanrui hesitated to speak, wanting to say that he was not doing this for his grandfather, but for He Qing——
Although He Qing had saved her body temporarily, he was still worried and wanted to follow her all the way so that he could help her if she showed any abnormality again...
But in front of Su Guang, he couldn't say these words no matter what.
After a long silence, Qi Guanrui took out a small gourd from his storage bag and handed it over, forcing a smile: "In that case, let's say goodbye. This is the elixir I prepared for you. Time is tight, so there are not many. You can use it for now."
He Qing was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that when Qi Guanrui said that day that he wanted to make some pain-relieving pills for him, he had always kept it in mind.
He Qing took the gourd hesitantly and whispered in a complicated tone: "Thank you."
When facing Qi Guanrui, He Qing was initially worried that he would find out that his beloved had a different embryo. Later, in order not to delay Qi Guanrui, he never concealed his evil in front of him.
However, Qi Guanrui was never as complicated as He Qing thought. He just admired one person, guarded and devoted to her silently, and was always consistent.
This kind of silly good person is indeed the type that He Qing likes.
But, that was He Qing before he met Su Guang...

The northern snowfield.
Shi Tianxiao stood with his eyes closed on a neighboring peak to the right of the Demon God's seal. A thin layer of red barrier wrapped around his body to resist the unusual cold wind. There were many high-level magicians scattered around him. Everyone was covered with snow. From a distance, they seemed to have merged into the snowfield.
Suddenly, Shi Tianxiao slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the snow-capped mountain opposite. The next moment, Xuan Qingzi and other leaders of the four peaks of Lingshan appeared on the top of the mountain. Soon, high-ranking immortal masters such as Du Ruo and Ling Fengzi, as well as leaders of various immortal sects, also appeared one by one, and soon filled up several nearby hilltops.
Shi Tianxiao shook his hair like a broom, shaking off the snow on his body, and said arrogantly: "You people from the Immortal Sect are too slow to come."
Xuan Qingzi raised his voice and said, "Shi Tianxiao, your demon sect was already seriously injured when you pretended to attack Lingshan. Now you want to fight again in the northern border. Your chances of winning are not great. For the sake of the fact that all cultivators in the world come from the same lineage, I advise you to stop before it is too late."
Shi Tianxiao laughed up to the sky and said sarcastically, "I thought you people from the Immortal Sect were just ignorant, but who knew you were blind and deaf? Didn't you realize that we didn't use all the power of the Demonic Path to attack Lingshan?"
As Shi Tianxiao finished his words, high-ranking demons also appeared one after another. Although their numbers were much smaller than those of the Immortal Sect, their aura and cultivation were all at the level of the Spirit Severing and Fusion Stages.
Shi Tian smiled and said, "You have enjoyed a good life for too long, and I, the demon cultivators, have all experienced hundreds of battles. The outcome is still unknown."
Yuntian looked around and snorted, "You have been guarding here for such a long time, but Suguang has not appeared. I think you have been used by him, right?"
