Chapter 109: Turn off the lights and cancel the name "Have you heard about it? The incident at Beifeng." "Of course I heard about it. A fellow Taoist I met when I went down the mountain a few years ago wrote to me and asked about it. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that such a thing had happened in Lingshan." "Hey, what do you think the leaders of the other peaks will do?" "But why did I hear that it seemed like I was cheated?" …… Bad news always spreads far and wide. Before He Qing returned to the mountain, the news that a young demon prince had emerged from her Yaoguang sect had already spread like wildfire. Knowing that the five great sect leaders were going back to the mountain today, many people were already waiting impatiently at the mountain gate, just to see what He Qing was like and what the other sect leaders' attitudes were. After waiting for a whole morning, the auras of several sect leaders finally appeared above the mountain gate. The next moment, the four sect leaders and a group of disciples appeared in front of the mountain gate at the same time. However, even Gu Changnian and Yue Qingru from the Yaoguang Sect were there, but He Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Immediately, whispers were heard from the crowd again - "Master He Qing didn't come back?" "She wouldn't really betray the Immortal Sect, would she?" "Did she leave on her own? Or was she driven away by the other leaders?" …… After a while, the discussion stopped because everyone noticed something was wrong. Several sect leaders had arrived, but they did not go straight into the mountain. Instead, they looked back in the direction they came from, as if they were waiting for someone. Sure enough, after a while, He Qing's breath appeared. Everyone looked up and saw a green ball slowly and leisurely approaching from far away in the sky, and He Qing was sitting sideways on the back of the green ball. When the green ball fell to the ground, everyone could see clearly that it was actually a green cow. He Qing jumped down with a wooden face and sighed speechlessly: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long." It’s not that He Qing deliberately wanted to “take a walk” to speed up his journey, but this cow can only fly so fast! At first, He Qing and others thought that Qingniu had been frozen in the northern border for too long and its physical strength had not yet recovered. However, after Chong Ying fed it several soul-nourishing pills, it felt full but still could not fly fast. He Qing finally understood that this cow was Su Guang’s mascot. He probably would only ride it for a walk when he was too bored. However, this green ox was extremely stubborn. He Qing wanted to put it into the storage bag, but it refused to go in. The bag was torn several times and even Daoyi's Qiankun bag couldn't hold it. In the end, there was really no other way and He Qing could only ride it all the way back to Lingshan. He Qing said: "Actually, you can go first." Guanyue motioned her to look at the disciples who had been waiting for a long time at the mountain gate: "If we don't let them see you returning to the mountain with us, who knows what will spread." He Qing led Qing Niu towards the mountain gate and said with a smile, "Go ahead, it's not the first time." Seeing He Qing's carefree attitude, several sect leaders had different thoughts. Xuan Qingzi couldn't help but dispel her doubts about her. If He Qing really colluded with Shao Jun and betrayed the Immortal Sect, she would not be so fearless and calm. After all, she was not a shameless person. Thinking of this, Xuan Qingzi called He Qing and said, "Come to the main peak in an hour to discuss the next arrangements." He decided to give He Qing another chance and observe. In full view of everyone, He Qing led the ox and took his two disciples back to Beifeng. Without planning to rest, he went straight to the Lantern Hall.
Gu Changnian and Yue Qingru both knew what their master was going to do, so they entered the hall first. Looking back, they saw He Qing still fighting with the green bull outside the hall. "Don't push me. Don't break the door with your huge body." He Qing grabbed the bull's horns with both hands and struggled with Qingniu: "Stay outside. I won't throw you away." "Moo!" The Green Ox seemed to understand, but still pushed He Qing hard unwillingly, then stood reluctantly beside the palace door, not going in, but not going down the steps either. He Qing shook his head and sighed, straightened his robes, and then entered the hall. Yue Qingru said, "Master, why do I feel like you have known this cow for a long time?" "Really?" He Qing walked straight to the lampstand, picked up the lamp belonging to Le Qingru, blew out the wick, poured out the lamp oil, then took Le Qingru's left hand and, with a little force, cut a small cut on her ring finger. A drop of blood dripped into the lamp. The wick lit up again, emitting a unique purple glow. After doing all this smoothly, He Qing continued, "Maybe it's because this blue bull is just like you, sociable and clingy." Yue Qingru sucked the small cut on his finger, wrinkled his nose and denied: "It's different, I am your good disciple, Master, it's just a mount!" After saying that, he glanced at the blue cow that was peeking out of the door indignantly, muttering: "Lu Li left, and here comes another cow. They all want to snatch the master from me..." When Yue Qingru mentioned Lu Li, He Qing also happened to pick up Lu Li's eternal lamp. Yue Qingru looked at it and asked in a low voice like a thief: "Master, how did Lu Li get away with it?" He Qing didn't even raise his eyelids. He just nodded his chin in the direction of Gu Changnian and said expressionlessly, "Use your senior brother's fingertip blood." "what?!" When these words were spoken, not only Yue Qingru was shocked, but even Gu Changnian was extremely shocked. However, he quickly recalled what happened in the corridor that night. At that time, He Qing had treated him coldly for a long time. This was a rare time when he treated him better. He even took out the Soul-Hunting Nail to chat with him, and when he passed it through his hands, it pierced his hand. It turns out that it wasn't an accident. It turned out that she already knew Lu Li's identity so early... And now, she told him the truth about sheltering Lu Li without any hesitation. Did she really not care about his feelings at all? Gu Changnian took a heavy breath, and there was some resentment in his eyes when he looked at He Qing. He Qing held the eternal lamp belonging to "Lu Li" and slowly turned it in her hand. After a moment's hesitation, she clenched her right hand suddenly, and the whole lamp turned into ashes in an instant. She said: "Chang Nian, find the sect master score for me later." This meant that Lu Li's name was going to be removed from the list. Although Yue Qingru often quarreled with Lu Li over He Qing and wished that this person was gone, when it really came to this, she couldn't help but think of the days she had lived with Lu Li, and she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. She said listlessly: "Master, have you really broken up with Lu Li?" He Qing did not respond immediately. He just walked out of the lamp hall, stretched himself, stroked the head of the green ox that came close to him, and said, "There is no such person as Lu Li in this world." Yue Qingru's shoulders slumped, and Gu Changnian's eyes darkened. He Qing seemed very resolute, but he never gave a direct answer to Yue Qingru's question. (End of this chapter)
