Yun Yan and Yun Tian were actually pretty similar in some aspects, they were both very quiet. With Yun Tian's personality, if no one took the initiative to be a little bit more aggressive, then the distance between them might never close.
Nothing else happened on the way back, so they quickly returned to the Huaqing Palace.
It had been two years since then, but Gu Qing had already raised his head to look at the Huaqing Palace's majestic mountain gate, as though a very long time had passed. Yun Tian kept his white jade ship and didn't even turn his head to look at Gu Qing as she flew back towards the Qingjian Peak.
Yun Yan did not follow him. After watching Yun Tian leave, Yun Yan turned to look at Gu Qing.
"Junior Sister Gu." Yun Yan smiled gently and walked over.
Gu Qing retracted her gaze from Yun Tian and turned to Yun Yan, "Senior Sister Yun, is there anything else?"
Yun Yan said: "Actually it's nothing, I just want to ask if something special happened in the Demon Domain secret realm." While they were talking, their eyes were fixated on Gu Qing's face.
Glimmers danced in Gu Qing's eyes, before she asked with a smile, "What does Senior Sister Yun mean? This is my first time in the secret plane, so everything feels pretty special. "
Yun Yan stared at her smiling face for a while, then shook her head and said: "Alright, if Junior Sister has any other matters, you can come and find me."
"Alright, Senior Sister." Gu Qing respectfully watched as Yun Yan left once again. Yun Yan had also always been using her spiritual sense to lock onto her, because she could clearly feel the change in her body. His attitude towards Gu Qing seemed to have suddenly become extremely cold.
With her understanding of her senior brother, she knew that he wouldn't turn out like this for no reason. But what had happened? Was it good or bad for her?
Seeing that Yun Yan had also disappeared, Gu Qing suddenly remembered that she had escaped with Huaqing Palace. Although Yun Tian had told her that the matter between him and Shen Chang had been resolved, leaving her behind to enter the mountain gate alone, she still felt a little apprehensive.
She took a deep breath and encouraged herself before entering the mountain gate under the watchful eyes of the two outer court disciples.
She did not return to her own cave, but instead went towards Hee Zhixian's residence. She had to understand the situation from Hee Zhixian.
Although he had left for two years, there were no changes within the Huaqing Palace. Gu Qing familiarly found Hee Zhixian's room, but unfortunately, Hee Zhixian was not there.
She was not anxious and sat cross-legged in Hee Zhixian's room with her eyes closed, waiting for Hee Zhixian's return.
After waiting for around two hours, someone knocked on the door.
"Dong Dong Dong …"
Gu Qing opened her eyes and looked at the door. If it was Hee Zhixian returning, why would she knock on the door?
Just as she was about to release her divine sense to see who was coming, she suddenly heard a familiar female voice from outside, "Hee Zhixian, are you there? "It's squeaking!"
Gu Qing's brows twitched, she did not think that the one who would come was Liu Ying.
"Don't think that I wouldn't know you were inside just because you didn't say anything. If you didn't open the door, I would have smashed it open!"
Gu Qing rolled her eyes helplessly, she slowly got up and prepared to open the door for her, but at this moment, Liu Ying's voice sounded from outside again, "Eh, is she really not here?"
Just as she finished speaking, Gu Qing heard another angry voice, "Liu Ying, what are you planning to do now?"
Gu Qing was familiar with the voice, it belonged to the owner of the house, Hee Zhixian.
Liu Ying turned around and saw Hee Zhixian. His pretty face instantly brightened up as he said, "Hee Zhixian, so you really aren't in the room. Luckily I'm smart and didn't break the door."
Hee Zhixian didn't even want to spare her another glance, "Can you stay away from me? This is my room, not yours, what right do you have to break into my room."
When Gu Qing heard Hee Zhixian's voice, she was already right outside the door, hesitating whether or not she should open the door.
At this time, Liu Ying's voice sounded again, "Why did you break into the house? Did you forget what you did to me last time?"
Hearing that, Hee Zhixian jumped up, "What did I do to you? It's clear that you did something to me, but I won't pursue it any further. Can you stay away from me? "
The voice that was slightly bashful a moment ago instantly changed its tone. Liu Ying opened her almond eyes wide, and said loudly: "Hee Zhixian, say it again if you have the ability! Do you know how many people beg me, Liu Ying, to give them a second look! "
"I think we should forget about it! Who would give you a second look! " Hee Zhixian's tone was full of disdain.
Gu Qing retracted her hand that was about to knock on the door. She could tell that the two of them were in a bad situation, if she suddenly appeared in front of them, the two of them would be very embarrassed.
But right at this moment, Liu Ying turned from shame to anger and shouted, "Hee Zhixian!"
Then, with a "bang", the door was pushed open by two people. Liu Ying threw Hee Zhixian in. Hee Zhixian yelled as he reached out to pull Liu Ying who was grabbing him away.
However, just as the two of them fell in, they suddenly saw a figure. The two of them were shocked at the same time. Then, with two "dong" sounds, they fell onto the ground.
After Liu Ying fell to the ground, she was not in a hurry to get up, she had also forgotten to wrestle with Hee Zhixian, she only reached out to rub her eyes, then looked at Gu Qing in a daze, muttering to herself: "Am I dreaming during the day?"
Hee Zhixian, on the other hand, was more clear-headed than him. He stood up the moment he turned around, staring widely at Gu Qing, "Gu Qing, you're still willing to come back?!"
Gu Qing's gaze swept across the two of them, and then coughed lightly. "Should I leave you some space?"
Hearing her voice, Liu Ying also came back to reality. She leapt up from the ground like a carp, pulled Gu Qing's sleeves, touched them and finally confirmed that the Gu Qing in front of him was the Gu Qing she was facing. She opened her throat to shout, "Gu Qing! Where have you been missing for the past two years? You didn't even say anything, and you've caused me to worry for nothing. "
Gu Qing's heart warmed. She did not expect that when they parted without saying anything, Liu Ying would remember her. She smiled slightly, "Back then it was an emergency, so I left in a hurry and did not have the time to notify him."
Liu Ying's temper came and went quickly, although she was slightly unhappy that Gu Qing left without saying goodbye, after hearing Gu Qing's words, she immediately became relieved and stared at her with wide eyes, "I actually have always wanted to ask you a question, you couldn't have left to escape the marriage right?"
Although the marriage of Gu Qing and Shen Chang was not publicly announced, it wasn't too big of a secret within the sect.
Hee Zhixian immediately reached out to push her around, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why aren't you leaving?"
Liu Ying tightly hugged onto Gu Qing's arm as she stared at Hee Zhixian, "Why do I have to leave? I haven't seen Gu Qing for so long, I have so many things I want to say to her. "
Hee Zhixian also wanted to say a lot to Gu Qing, but there were many people here who were eyesore, he was furious and could only stare with wide eyes.
Liu Ying lifted her head and snorted as she turned to look at Gu Qing, "You still haven't answered my question."
"Don't you already know, what else can I say?" Gu Qing also had many things she wanted to ask Hee Zhixian, so she came to find Hee Zhixian the moment he entered the sect gate. But since Liu Ying was present, she could not speak.
"Is that true?" Liu Ying's eyes widened as she sized Gu Qing up from top to bottom. After that, she put her hands on her waist and laughed, "Gu Qing, oh Gu Qing, you really like me. Do you know how many female cultivators like Shen Chang? And how many female cultivators like Shen Chang in Cultivation Realm? It's so interesting that you actually ran away from a marriage! "
Gu Qing knew that Shen Chang's face could confuse a lot of people, but it was a pity that she had already seen through Shen Chang's true face.
Before Gu Qing could reply, Hee Zhixian interrupted: "Do you think everyone is like you, and will only be deceived by your outer appearance? Gu Qing is not a person like you."
Liu Ying instantly jumped up in anger, "Hee Zhixian, give me a good explanation now? What kind of person am I? "If I was such a person, I would have taken a fancy to …" Saying that, Liu Ying suddenly stopped, her face flushed red, then she stomped her feet, "Forget it, I know you guys have something to say, I'll be taking my leave first." With that, she slipped away.
After Liu Ying left, Hee Zhixian still had an expression of disdain. After a while, he retracted his gaze and asked Gu Qing, "You haven't encountered any dangers in the past two years, have you?"
Gu Qing retracted her gaze from Liu Ying's back, just now she was thinking that Liu Ying had fallen for Hee Zhixian, and seeing Hee Zhixian like this, it was obvious that she did not understand the little girl's heart.
She regained her senses, nodded at Hee Zhixian, "Fortunately, we didn't encounter any great danger. "Oh right, I have something that I want to ask you."
"What is it?" Hee Zhixian said as he walked in, "Come in first."
Gu Qing followed the host inside, and then sat opposite of Hee Zhixian, "I want to ask you, other than me, those people have been out training for the past year, as well as my Huaqing Palace."
Hee Zhixian poured a cup of water for her, and then said: "I'm not too sure about that. If you want to know, I'll help you ask, but … Why do you ask? "
Gu Qing frowned, "I want to know one person!"
Hee Zhixian's movements paused for a bit, then said: "A single person? "Who is it?"
"Just check on him for me. Remember to check on yourself. This past year, which people in the sect are away all the time."
"Alright!" Hee Zhixian nodded, passed a cup of tea to her, and said: "I also have something important to tell you."
Gu Qing was taking a sip of tea, and upon hearing that she looked up at him, "Oh? "What is it?"
Hee Zhixian sat upright, his expression solemn. "Do you remember what I told you more than a year ago?"
"What is it?" Gu Qing frowned as she thought back to what had happened. Then, a glint flashed across her eyes and landed on Hee Zhixian's face, "Could it be that you're talking about those people who are pursuing the spiritual wine?"
Hee Zhixian nodded seriously, "That's right, it's this matter, you probably didn't know that those people destroyed the entire Gu family."
"What!" The teacup in Gu Qing's hand fell to the ground, the tea splashed all over the floor, and only after a brief pause did it slowly come to a stop.
"That's why you have to be extra careful!" Hee Zhixian did not ask those people what the connection between the spiritual wine and the annihilation of the Gu family was, because this was Gu Qing's own secret.
Gu Qing's face turned white, she already had an answer in her heart, but she did not dare reveal it.
