Chapter 21 Everything Has Signs When Yue Qingru came to He Qing's room with a bunch of bottles and jars, she saw Gu Changnian sitting by the bed in a daze with a handkerchief in his hand, and immediately put on a sour face. She quickly walked over and snatched the handkerchief from Gu Changnian's hand, and pushed him away, saying, "Get out of the way, don't delay me from taking care of Master." Gu Changnian was unprepared and staggered when he was bumped by Yue Qingru. Looking closely, he saw Yue Qingru wiping He Qing's face and hands quickly and carefully. Gu Changnian himself seemed to have nothing to do. He just stood there in a daze, looking a little embarrassed. Yue Qingru was still moving and muttering, "One said he wanted to protect the master, but ended up being protected by the master. The other usually made the master happy, but ran away at the critical moment. Humph, neither of them is a good person!" Gu Changnian felt a little embarrassed, but realized that the "other" Yue Qingru was referring to was Lu Li, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lu Li is not at Beifeng?" "Don't ask me." Yue Qingru said unhappily, "I don't care where he goes to hide away. He's unreliable anyway." "..." Gu Changnian fell into deep thought: Lu Li was always acting nice in front of He Qing. It was the critical moment for He Qing to go through his tribulation, so why would he not show up until dawn? Just as they were thinking about it, the two people in the room with excellent hearing heard the sound of the door of the next room opening and closing at the same time. Lu Li is back. Gu Changnian was silent for a moment, then said to Yue Qingru, "You wash Master's body first, I will come over later to help Master channel his spiritual energy."
Yue Qingru instinctively wanted to refuse, but he knew that with his current abilities, it was impossible for him to help his master in this regard, so he could only agree reluctantly. Gu Changnian came out of He Qing's room and went straight to Lu Li's room. He knocked on the door lightly, and after a while, he knocked again. Finally, the door opened from the inside. Lu Li was seen wearing a white inner garment, with one hand on his waist and the other on the door, with his long curly hair hanging down, making his skin look even whiter. He smiled and asked gently, "Brother, what's the matter?" Gu Changnian frowned: It's the same again, it's always like this. When this kid faced him, no matter how friendly and respectful his tone was, there was no seriousness in his eyes and brows. Gu Changnian asked unhappily, "Where have you been? Why did you return at this time? Don't you know the master's situation?" These three questions seemed to amuse Lu Li. He lowered his head and chuckled, "Brother, you have a very bad temper." Gu Changnian tried his best to ignore the teasing in Lu Li's words, and said seriously: "I am the master's first disciple, and it is my job to discipline you and Qingru. There were many strange phenomena last night, and everyone inside and outside Lingshan was on high alert. If you don't do it again and leave without notifying me, don't blame me for punishing you according to the sect rules." Lu Li took a deep breath with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said slowly: "Senior brother and Master have such a close relationship? I wonder if Master is also happy to let you discipline her." "..." Gu Changnian's face turned a little ugly after being stabbed in the face neither softly nor hard. Be it Lu Li or Yue Qingru, none of them regarded him as their senior brother. Gu Changnian said coldly: "You can try it." Lu Li tilted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly: "No need to see you off." As the door closed, Lu Li's dark eyes became even more gloomy and terrifying—— Obviously, there is Gu Changnian's soul by his side as a substitute, and with his interference from the side, He Qing will definitely succeed in this tribulation. Unexpectedly, He Qing would rather continue to suffer the pain of the thunderbolt once a year than hurt Gu Changnian in the slightest. Looking at Gu Changnian's attitude just now, what else did Lu Li not understand? Gu Changnian could not hide his disgust for He Qing no matter how hard he tried. Lu Li and Yue Qingru came in one after another. Although Gu Changnian was confused, he was secretly happy that he no longer had to face He Qing alone. But just now, for He Qing's sake, Gu Changnian actually expressed his dissatisfaction with Lu Li openly. Obviously, something happened in Tianmu Cave that made the relationship between the master and disciple closer.
Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but laugh out of anger - Fine, fine, I took such a big risk to help you overcome the calamity, and this is how you repay me? You use the fancy spears I gave you two as a raft, can you bear it? Suddenly, Lu Li suppressed his cough and his mouth was immediately filled with the taste of rust. Lu Li raised his chin slightly and swallowed the blood in his mouth. He leaned against the corner and took a long breath. Then he smiled contemptuously: This master-disciple game should also end. ■ He Qing had a dream. He dreamed that some passages from a book were written on several pages. One of the letters roughly stated that Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu had no idea what the devil's intention was, as he let them go time and time again. It's like a mountain cat that catches its prey and then tosses it around without eating it. The other one said that after Hua Chiyu fell into the hands of the devil, in the dark and cold dungeon, there seemed to be a figure sitting in the darkness, watching her silently. The figure looked at her for three days and three nights. Finally, Hua Chiyu left the dungeon safely and was sent directly back to the foot of Lingshan Mountain while unconscious. After reading this paragraph, He Qing woke up, his sleepy face full of confusion. She had some impression of these paragraphs, but not much. She only knew that the person who was spying on Hua Chiyu in the dark corner was the Demonic Young Master. After that, she didn't read any further. At that time, He Qing was not curious about the young master's abnormal behavior. After all, as the heroine, it was normal for Hua Chiyu to arouse the interest of both the protagonist and the antagonist. But why did He Qing dream about this part of the plot? He Qing sat up, sighed with tiredness and headache, and casually scratched his head with his hands as if combing - But now that I think about it carefully, this young master's ambiguous attitude towards Hua Chiyu was indeed a bit sudden. According to the description in the book, when Shaojun saw Hua Chiyu for the first time, he was attracted to her, and then he let Hua Chiyu escape disaster many times, and even Gu Changnian got a chance to benefit from it. Considering the author's previous writing style, this "love at first sight" arrangement is indeed a bit rough. Thinking of this, He Qing couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: It's already this late, and I still have the mood to think about the logic of the novel, 6. "Master." He Qing was startled by the sudden call. He turned his head sharply and saw Gu Changnian standing a few steps away in an orderly manner. He Qing immediately said with a look of surprise: "You hid in my room without saying a word, and then you called me so suddenly. Why? Do you want to scare me to death?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Changnian's face, and he said respectfully, "It's my fault. I just helped Master to clear the spiritual energy, and was about to leave when Master woke up." He Qing then understood why Gu Changnian was so close to her without her noticing. It was because of the blending of spiritual energy just now that her aura and Gu Changnian's aura were indistinguishable for a short period of time. (End of this chapter)
