Chapter 22 The Younger Disciple is the Older Disciple Knowing that Gu Changnian stayed in the room to help him, He Qing felt confused and something was wrong. When they were going through the tribulation in Tianmu Cave, Gu Changnian's intention to attack He Qing was obvious. Similarly, He Qing also exposed his murderous intention. Both of them had already made their cards clear. It would be too strange for them to continue pretending that nothing had happened and that life was peaceful. Sure enough, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time, right? He Qing thought. She closed her eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air, and said indifferently: "Thank you for your hard work, you can go now." Gu Changnian quickly raised his eyes to glance at He Qing, then said in silence, "Disciple has something else to report." "speak." "When Master was going through the tribulation yesterday, two strange things happened. First, a mysterious beam of light interfered with the power of the heavenly thunder. Second, a very faint demonic aura appeared above the North Peak." Usually, if Gu Changnian wanted to report something, he would be as concise as possible, not wanting to say a single word more. But now, He Qing found that he seemed to be deliberately slowing down his speech, as if he was afraid that she couldn't hear clearly. However, He Qing was only confused for a short moment, and his attention fell on the two things mentioned by Gu Changnian.
According to Gu Changnian, the other four masters led their disciples to search the entire Lingshan Mountain from top to bottom, but they did not find anything unusual. The mysterious person who emitted the light beam or the demonic energy never appeared again after the heavenly tribulation ended. Therefore, Xuan Qingzi now proposed to start investigating the disciples in the past three classes, in case there were any demonic cultivators mixed in. And the first thing to investigate was the eternal lamps of those disciples. So the question is, currently in the entire Lingshan Immortal Sect, the only two disciples who have not yet lit the Eternal Lamp are both He Qing's disciples. Gu Changnian said, "Since you are still ill, the leaders have decided to have Master Guanyue complete the lamp lighting ceremony for Lu Li and Qingru." He Qing leaned against the bed rail with a numb face and responded in a dying voice: "Go and inform Guanyue immediately and tell her that I'm awake. I'll take care of the eternal lamps of Lu Li and the others." Gu Changnian nodded in agreement, glanced at He Qing again, and then left quietly. The room fell silent again. He Qing carefully reviewed all the plots of this period in the book, and was puzzled: How come these two things suddenly appeared? Black beams of light... Who is helping her? Where does the evil energy come from? He Qing was thinking as he washed up and walked out of the house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw thick smoke coming from the direction of the kitchen in the distance. Out of curiosity, he walked over to see what was going on. In the smoky kitchen, Yue Qingru was sticking her butt out and making a fire under the stove, but looking at her posture, it didn't seem like she was making a fire, it looked more like she was burning herself. He Qing leaned against the door and watched for a long time with amusement. He couldn't stand the smell anymore and called her, "If you can't cook, don't force yourself." When Yue Qingru heard He Qing's voice, he hurriedly pulled his head out from the stove, and said in surprise with a dark face: "Master, you are awake?!" He Qing walked over slowly, raised his hand and cast the Dust Removing Curse to clean up for her, and joked: "If you don't wake up, the Yaoguang Sect will be burned down by you. If you really can't cook, just go to other peaks for free meals." Yue Qingru chuckled twice and said, "I'm not cooking. I'm boiling medicine for Master." Then he ran back to the messy stove and pulled out a bunch of "weeds": "There are a lot of herbs on the mountain of Kaiyang Palace. I stole some. Look! They are all excellent!" Seeing that Le Qingru looked both naive and clever, He Qing couldn't help but touch her head, and sighed in his heart: Ah... Fortunately, I have such a disciple. It is so healing to chat with her when I am almost annoyed by a lot of trivial things. He Qing said, "Go call Lu Li over. I'll cook for you two and talk to you about something." When Lu Li was mentioned, Yue Qingru was not very happy. She pursed her lips and said, "Master, please don't worry about him. He disappeared when you were going through the tribulation last night. He only came back this morning. As soon as he came back, he hid in his room and refused to come out. I wanted him to help me light a fire to boil medicine for you, but I couldn't call him out." He Qing was stunned: "Really?"
"Yes." Yue Qingru said seriously: "Master, you have to believe me, I can feel that he is not a good person!" Lu Li is not a simple boy, but he is not a problem boy who would disappear inexplicably. He Qing thought for a moment, then pulled the corners of his lips to coax her: "Okay, I'll go criticize him." "Yeah." ■ On the way to Lu Li's room, He Qing had a vague bad feeling. This feeling lasted until she stood outside Lu Li's door for a long time, and it still lingered. After waiting for a while, He Qing knocked on the door: "It's me." He Qing was responded by a long silence. He Qing frowned slightly and said in a loud voice: "Lu Li, I'm coming in." Still, no response. He Qing's heart sank, and he broke the door open with his palm. The doors and windows of the room were tightly closed, giving the room an eerie feeling even in broad daylight. He Qing paused for a moment, then walked straight in. However, after looking around, he did not see Lu Li and could only sense his breath. "Land from?" As soon as he finished speaking, He Qing immediately felt the magical fluctuations in the air behind him, and at the same time the door was closed with a "bang". He Qing used his seal to strike backwards without hesitation, but when he saw the person behind him clearly, his pupils froze for a moment. He subconsciously changed the seal to forcibly stop the spell that had already been launched, changing the trajectory of the attack so that it barely passed the opponent's ear. He Qing looked at the person in front of him in shock and murmured in disbelief: "Lu... Li?" Is it Lu Li? He Qing was a little unsure. The man in front of him, with long curly hair and beautiful facial features, vaguely resembles the young Lu Li, but his evil temperament and gloomy eyes are very different from Lu Li. Lu Li tilted his head and smiled: "Master can actually recognize such a face. This really surprises me." He Qing's eyes widened, he took a breath with difficulty, grabbed Lu Li's collar and pulled him towards him, trying his best to suppress his anger and asked: "Who are you?" Such a close distance made the breaths of the two people's noses entangled together, but there was no trace of charm in the atmosphere. Lu Li looked down at He Qing, and teased in a voice as clear as jade: "Master, didn't you call me Lu Li just now?" Then he stretched out his slender fingers and gently moved the broken hair on He Qing's temples: "Of course I am, Master's good disciple." He Qing gritted his teeth, grabbed his hand and said in a stern voice, "The evil spirit that Xuan Qing Zhenren and the others sensed last night was yours." Lu Li's wrist made a crackling sound as if it was about to be broken by He Qing, but he still smiled leisurely, as if the hand held by He Qing was not his own. He closed his eyes and nodded slightly: "It's mine." (End of this chapter)
