Chapter 80 You Are the Only One He Qing secretly observed Lu Li's expression. Although he was still sarcastic to her as usual, it was obvious that the mood was lower than ever. The coldness in his dark eyes seemed to be able to frostbite people. He Qing knew that she could not get away with it today. Lu Li had thrown out the palace bell to block some of the power of the Tian Xin Jue for her, regardless of the risk of exposing his identity, and had been injured while trying to save her. If He Qing continued to avoid the issue, given Lu Li's personality, he would probably no longer believe her. Thinking of this, He Qing couldn't help but swallow, and took a deep breath with a slightly heavy voice: "It's not that I gave up on my own initiative, it's that my cultivation was instantly dissipated, and I couldn't control myself. Once I had the intention to kill Gu Changnian, it would be like this." At this moment, He Qing didn't know why he was so worried about losing Lu Li's trust and even exposed his most fatal weakness in front of others. She deliberately didn't think too deeply about it, as if a voice in her subconscious mind was asking herself: Now that you know, what can you do? Will you give up your life for him? After hearing this explanation, Lu Li's eyes showed a moment of surprise, but he quickly covered it up and said slowly: "I have never heard of this kind of magic. If it is a life-changing spell, I have entered your sea of consciousness and explored your eight extraordinary meridians, and there is no trace." He Qing couldn't tell what Lu Li was thinking at the moment, and didn't know whether he believed it or not, but since things had already come to this point, He Qing didn't mind saying a little more. She said helplessly, "If it was a spell, I could at least find someone to remove it for me. Unfortunately, it wasn't, so I was troubled by it for a long time." After a pause, she added, "Not only can I not kill him, I have to protect him. It's okay if he has a minor illness, but if his life is in danger, my cultivation will disappear." He Qing's face looked very ugly when he said these words, and every word he said made him feel uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly in his mouth. It was hard for Lu Li not to think of the word "absurd" in response to such an explanation that showed the candidate knew nothing about anything. However, considering what He Qing had said when she first proposed to cooperate with him, as well as her resistance and dislike for Gu Changnian, this clearly absurd statement seemed to be the only explanation that could make sense.
So, if all this is true... He Qing told him all this without reservation, wasn't that like handing over her own life? If he wanted to harm her, he wouldn't even need to do anything to her. Could he understand that He Qing had completely opened up to him now? Lu Li couldn't help but wonder. He Qing keenly noticed that Lu Li's gaze towards him had warmed up, and quickly seized the opportunity to play the victim: "You are the only one who knows my secret, and, in order to save you, I risked my life, risked my life, risked my life, risked my life, risked my life, risked my life..." "Although you don't need to do anything today," Lu Li interrupted her endless stream of adjectives and looked at her with a half-smile: "But your 'fighting without regard for one's own safety', 'going through life and death', 'going through fire and water', and 'sacrificing one's life for the sake of one's own life' have won my heart." Especially the word 'only', which made him feel very happy. He Qing let out an exaggerated sigh, collapsed on the railing, covered his pubic area and sighed: "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually in so much pain now. If you still can't see my sincerity in cooperation, then it's really disappointing." Lu Li's eyes darkened: "So Master's various behaviors are just to show his sincerity?" He Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned her head away: "Of course, otherwise, what else could it be..." After that, she quickly changed the subject: "Oh, but I didn't expect that the demon god also had so many believers in the immortal gate." Lu Li saw He Qing's helplessness, which she had no time to hide, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, but he also knew that some things cannot be rushed, especially for someone like He Qing who is so thick-skinned and used to lying. If forced, she will hide far away and will never give him any chance. Thinking of this, Lu Li moved closer without leaving a trace and continued her words: "Master looks worried?" Lu Li did not ask further, and He Qing's tense heartstrings relaxed a little. He turned around and looked at him with sympathy: "I am worried about you. Chen Sanyi from the Yuling Palace and the head of the Qi Guan family are all going for the power of the demon god. Many people in the demon world regard you as a thorn in their eyes. Now there are so many leaders in the immortal sect who are standing on the opposite side of you. You are in a worrying situation, young man." He Qing even thought that with so many traitors appearing in the immortal sect, the immortal path in this book would be destroyed in another hundred or eighty years, right? Lu Li looked at her deeply, and his heart seemed to be gently brushed by a feather—— He could tell that He Qing's words were meant to change the subject, but he was genuinely thinking about him. The world has changed so much that the silent warmth and kindness of the world no longer has any appeal to him. However, the feedback He Qing gave him was always unexpected and left him with endless aftertaste. The master and the disciple returned to the west wing. Le Qingru and Qi Guanrui were frightened to see He Qing coming back covered in blood. They immediately stepped forward to ask what happened. He Qing acted calm and relaxed, and gave a profound answer: he had discussed each other's martial arts with senior Qi Guanrui. It was obvious that He Qing and Qi Guanxiao had fought. Qi Guanrui was speechless for a moment and seemed to want to apologize, but he didn't know where to start. He could only offer to find some elixirs for He Qing. Yue Qingru was much simpler. She clenched her fists with stars in her eyes and shouted that her master would surely win every battle. He Qing felt relieved when he heard that. After seeing Qi Guanrui off, He Qing looked at Gu Changnian who was lying on the corridor. It seemed that after she left, no one cared about Gu Changnian's life or death. Yet, there was an embroidered quilt draped over his body, which made people feel sad but also funny.
Yue Qingru followed He Qing's gaze and said embarrassedly, "Master, I don't want to help him. I'm afraid he will catch a cold and delay your expulsion of him from the sect." He Qing understood that after spending more than half a year together in Lingshan, there was some affection between the brother and sister. After all, Yue Qingru was not a wicked person. She just ranked He Qing, her master, ahead of Gu Changnian and acted according to her master's attitude. It was normal for her to feel reluctant. What's more, after calming down, He Qing was also afraid that if she really expelled Gu Changnian from the Yaoguang Sect, would it trigger some strange situation? However, the words had already been said, and she could not take them back. After a long silence, He Qing did not express his opinion. He told Yue Qingru not to run around and went back to his room. He Qing kept saying in front of Lu Li that she was in excruciating pain, and it was not an exaggeration. Forcibly breaking Qi Guanxiao's barrier had caused her severe internal injuries, so as soon as she returned to the west wing, she locked herself in the room to meditate and regulate her breathing and sea of consciousness.
