Chapter 9: Is the hero's halo unsolvable? He Qing half leaned on Lu Li and gave everyone a perfect smile, calm and tolerant, yet a little tired. She said, "It's okay. When we get back to Lingshan, we'll ask Kaiyang Palace for help in removing the poisonous insect. It won't be a big problem." The disciples of Tianxuan Mountain, led by Xu Gaizhi, all bowed and said, "Thank you, Immortal Master Heqing!" Hua Chiyu followed suit and thanked him. Not caring whether it would cause He Qing to be disgusted, she anxiously reminded him: "Master, always miss him..." "Oh, yes." He Qing pretended to have just remembered it and turned around to walk towards Gu Changnian, whose face was as pale as gold paper. The poison in his body had already taken effect. He was sweating profusely and his whole body was twitching. He was breathing out more than breathing in. Although he was still conscious, his body was constantly being devoured by the poison. According to the book, this poison is the same kind of poison that the people in the villages outside are infected with. It can neither kill them nor make them live. He Qing pretended to feel Gu Changnian's pulse, then sighed: "I was careless. I didn't expect that the poison you were poisoned with was far more severe than that of others." "What?!" Everyone was shocked.
Hua Chiyu saw with her own eyes that Gu Changnian was touched by the poisonous insects that sprayed out of the old woman's body. She had a bad premonition. Now He Qing's words confirmed her guess, and she immediately burst into tears. She held back her tears and asked, "Then... can the immortal master save him using the same method?" He Qing sighed sadly: "Originally it was possible, but... I have been seriously injured, and it is difficult for me to save him. I can only rely on his luck. If he can hold on until he returns to the mountain, maybe he can still be saved." Hua Chiyu leaned on Qiao Nan's shoulder in despair and cried, while the other disciples of Tianxuan Mountain looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone was stunned by this sudden bad news. He Qing supported Lu Li's hand and stood up. He looked down at the extremely weak Gu Changnian and raised his eyebrows helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that I can't do anything." But he said in his heart: Gu Changnian, ah Gu Changnian, if our relationship had not deteriorated to this point, I would not have to do this. I understand your desire to kill the original owner, but I'm sorry, I also have to protect myself. Gu Changnian felt excruciating pain in all his limbs, as if countless insects were gnawing at his bones. The more pain he felt, the clearer his consciousness became. He twisted his face and stared at He Qing intently. Although there was reluctance in her eyes, there was not a trace of reluctance. He didn't know if it was because of the poison in his brain that gave him the illusion that He Qing in front of him didn't have any feelings for him, not even a master-disciple relationship. Gu Changnian turned his eyes downward and looked at the handsome young man who was holding He Qing's hand firmly—— Or, after having a new target, she really no longer coveted him? He should have felt relieved, but for some reason, this breath of relief was stuck in Gu Changnian's chest. The smile in He Qing's eyes as he looked at Lu Li last night kept appearing in his mind, making him anxious and restless, causing the poisonous insect in his body to become even more frantic, and finally making him squeeze out tiny moans from between his clenched teeth. Seeing this, Hua Chiyu threw away her fear of He Qing and rushed over. She held Gu Changnian's face and cried and laughed sadly, "It's okay, Changnian. When we return to the mountain, there will be a way. Just hold on!" Seeing her crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Gu Changnian pulled the corners of his mouth with all his strength and forced a very ferocious smile: "Okay... I will definitely hold on..." Having said that, everyone present knew that if the poison could not be suppressed in time, even if the insect was removed in the future, the foundation would be destroyed and there would be no possibility of cultivation. Hua Chiyu could no longer laugh. She buried her head in Gu Changnian's chest, crying and calling his name. Such a scene made Qiao Nan, whose face was covered with wounds, feel guilty and her eyes turned red. She murmured to Xu Gaizhi, "How could this be..." In order to save them, He Qing delayed the opportunity to save Gu Changnian. How can they feel at ease? Xu Gaizhi wiped his tears roughly and asked He Qing, "Master, let's go back to the mountain quickly!" When He Qing heard this, he immediately covered his chest and started coughing violently. His body was shaking, as if he couldn't even stand.
“Master!”… Everyone gathered around anxiously and asked, "Master, are you okay?" "How about you take a rest for a while?" He Qing said weakly: "No, Chang Nian's injury is more important, let's set off now." "But Immortal Master, you are so weak. It would be too much of a stretch for you to use the flying device to bring Chang Nian back to the mountain!" Xu Gaizhi was also in a dilemma and said: "It's a pity that we are also injured now..." There was a lot of noise around, but Lu Li only paid attention to He Qing. He held He Qing's hand and took He Qing's pulse during the chaos. It is true that his cultivation was damaged and his vitality was seriously damaged, but it was not so serious that he could not continue on his journey. Is she being so pretentious to delay Gu Changnian's return to the mountain? Just when the group of people were wondering what to do, the light at the entrance of the cellar dimmed and a figure appeared there. A clear voice came: "What's the panic?" Before He Qing, who was busy acting, could react, the disciples of Tianxuan Mountain had already rushed over in great joy. "Master!" "Master, you are finally here!" He Qing was stunned when he heard this: "Master? Guanyue, the master of Tianxuan Mountain? Why is he here?! I have already rescued the people in advance, why is Guanyue still here? While He Qing was in doubt, Guanyue had already heard the situation from his disciple and looked at He Qing with a slightly surprised expression. But then, he stepped forward and bowed solemnly, saying, "Thank you." "..." He Qing came back to his senses, but because of the sudden incident, he couldn't react and could only respond hesitantly. Guanyue walked over to Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu and squatted down. In front of his master, Hua Chiyu finally didn't have to endure it anymore and said in a hoarse voice, "Master... please save Changnian..." The other disciples of Tianxuan Mountain also prayed: "Master, please save Changnian." Guanyue touched Hua Chiyu's head distressedly and said comfortingly, "I will." He Qing secretly thought that this was not good, and stepped forward and said in a roundabout way: "Guan Yue, he... the poison in Chang Nian is extraordinary. To suppress it, I don't know how much cultivation will be consumed. You..." Before he could finish his words, Guan Yue turned around and interrupted him, "Since you have saved the life of my disciple from Tianxuan Mountain, I will not abandon Chang Nian just because of the loss of my cultivation. You can rest assured." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and slowly transferred his cultivation to Gu Changnian's back. "..." He Qing's hope collapsed once again... Is this the male protagonist’s halo? For the first time, she began to doubt her future plans: Can she really change her fate? He Qing watched Gu Changnian's pain gradually ease, and suddenly felt hopeless and unconsciously clenched Lu Li's hand. Lu Li looked at her silently, and could clearly see the unwillingness and fear in her eyes. He couldn't help but frown in confusion. she is afraid? What are you afraid of?
