Chapter 28 No One is Reliable In the end, Yue Qingru still failed to get the whisk she wished for, so she stayed in her room feeling uncomfortable for a long time, as long as half an hour. "Master..." She lowered her head and found He Qing who was reading in the study room. She raised her right hand bitterly and said, "I don't want this magic weapon." He Qing looked up and wanted to laugh when he saw her like that, but he pursed his lips tightly to hold it back, cleared his throat and said, "Why? This magic weapon suits you very well." "A good match?!" Le Qingru shook off the crystal clear bracelet on her wrist with a tearful look, and it immediately turned into a steel claw with a three-bladed long knife. The blade covered the back of her right hand, and the tip of the blade was long, cold and slightly curled inward, as if she was possessed by Wolverine. "Puchi——" He Qing finally couldn't help it and turned his head away, covering his mouth. Upon seeing this, Yue Qingru let out a long howl to the sky, rushed over and was about to hug He Qing and act coquettishly: "Ah - Master, you are making fun of me!" But as soon as she got close, the steel claw almost poked He Qing's face, and Yue Qingru was so scared that she kept shaking her hand back. However, since she was not very good at controlling her magic weapon, she could not change its shape for the time being, and could not take it off, so she was anxious and sweating profusely. He Qing laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and joked, "You have wolf blood, right? Look how good it is now. Even if you are a half-demon, you can have wolf claws." Yue Qingru pouted in grievance: "Master, why are you like this? If you laugh again, I won't let you pinch my ears!"
"Sorry, sorry, I won't laugh anymore. I won't laugh anymore." He Qing quickly closed his mouth, but he was still laughing. The master and disciple were playing together when the light at the door dimmed. He Qing turned his head and saw Gu Changnian approaching with a pile of books. Gu Changnian was stunned when he saw He Qing laughing so hard that he lost control of himself. But after seeing He Qing looking at him, he immediately stopped playing around with Le Qingru and returned to normal. Gu Changnian's eyes darkened. He walked into the study and said respectfully, "Master, I have compiled the results of the assessments of the junior disciples in previous years into a book these past two days. I would like to ask you to take a look at it." He Qing raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise—— He Qing invited Hua Chiyu that day in order to give Gu Changnian a chance to fall in love so that he wouldn't be thinking about how to kill his master all day long. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Gu Changnian actually took the initiative to prepare review materials for his two junior brothers and sisters. If Gu Changnian had not been determined to kill his master, to be fair, Gu Changnian would have been the least troublesome of the three disciples. Thinking of this, He Qing gave a slightly friendly smile: "You are thoughtful, let me see." "Yes." After hearing He Qing say that he had to watch it now, Gu Changnian felt as if a drop of honey was dripped into his heart, making it slightly sweet. He Qing carefully moved the spell book that was almost broken into pieces on the table and carefully looked through the accompanying book that Gu Changnian had compiled. Gu Changnian stood quietly in front of the desk, his eyes unconsciously falling on He Qing's face. Anyone would feel happy if the things he had carefully sorted out were taken seriously, right? Ke Le Qingru was not very happy. It was a rare occasion that the troublemaker Lu Li did not bother her master, allowing her and her master to have some time alone together. But this Gu Changnian came out to disturb them again. Yue Qingru was about to say something unpleasant to drive him away, but then she changed her mind and remembered what He Qing had said before, that Gu Changnian had two magic weapons. Her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind. "Ahem," Le Qingru coughed artificially, causing Gu Changnian to look at her sideways. She grinned and said, "Senior Brother~" “……” This was the first time Yue Qingru called him senior brother, and he called him so flatteringly. Gu Changnian was frightened by Yue Qingru's amber eyes and subconsciously glanced at He Qing, but He Qing seemed to be concentrating on reading a book. Gu Changnian lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" Yue Qingru chuckled and said, "Brother, Master said last time that you had a magical whisk, but you didn't use it later?" When the whisk was mentioned again, Gu Changnian looked visibly uncomfortable. He glanced at He Qing again and asked, "What do you want to say?" Yue Qingru jumped up to Gu Changnian like a little junior sister, tiptoed close to him and said flatteringly: "Then, Senior Brother, can you give me that whisk?"
Gu Changnian frowned and refused without thinking: "No, this magic weapon is connected to my spiritual energy and cannot be easily given away. It won't work if you keep it." Yue Qingru pursed her lips again: "You are so stingy. Anyway, you don't want to use the same magic weapon as Master. Instead of letting it gather dust, why not give it to me? Master and I have a similar mindset, and maybe I can use it well." Gu Changnian was about to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to say that he had never let the magic weapon be covered in dust, but he was worried that if he tried to explain deliberately, it would arouse He Qing's strange thoughts again, so he was speechless for a moment. The sound of pages turning slowly rang in his ears. He Qing, who seemed to have been paying no attention to Gu Changnian and Yue Qingru, buried his head in the book and said in a gentle voice, "Qingru, stop making trouble." Yue Qingru's intuition was so sharp that he immediately realized that his master was unhappy, and he quickly sat back down next to He Qing. He Qing took a deep breath, looked up at Gu Changnian and said with a smile: "I took a general look, you compiled it very thoroughly, recording everything from the Five Elements to Qimen Dunjia. Thank you for your hard work." Gu Changnian secretly observed He Qing and saw that she didn't seem to care at all about what Le Qingru had just said. While he was relieved, the sweetness in his heart that he had felt before was gone. Gu Changnian suddenly felt a little confused. He seemed to hope that his master would ask one more question so that he could explain how the whisk was dealt with... "jingle." "Jingle Bell." A ethereal and pleasant bell sound came from far away, as if it was slowly falling from the distant sky, or coming from a deep valley, attracting the three masters and apprentices in the study to look towards the door at the same time. As the ringing sound gradually got closer, Lu Li appeared at the door in a short while. The hem of his clothes swayed slightly, and the gilded palace bell on his waist was still emitting a soft lingering sound. Lu Li bumped into the sight of the three people in the room, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at He Qing: "What's wrong, Master?" He Qing was stunned by her beauty for a moment, then turned his eyes away guiltily. After seeing Lu Li, Yue Qingru, who had just been complaining about the inferiority of her magic weapon, immediately felt relieved. She couldn't hide her smugness and muttered, "Finally, there is still a useless backup." Lu Li heard it, but pretended not to hear it. He smiled, walked behind He Qing as if no one was around, rested his chin lazily on her shoulder, and said vaguely: "Master, I am so tired from practicing. I want you to help me relieve it." He Qing: "..." You come again? You use her as a tool to fight back again? Sure enough, just one sentence easily made Yue Qingru explode: "Ah, you're asking the master to teach you something else again!" (End of this chapter)
