For some reason, when he said the last sentence, Yun Tian felt like his throat was choked by someone. He felt a faint pain, and it took a lot of effort before he could finish saying the last sentence.
Gu Qing had already lowered those eyes that were gradually losing their luster. Listening to Yun Tian's blessings in his ears, Gu Qing felt her heart ache, and she self-deprecated.
The two stood against the wind, and no one made a sound anymore. Gu Qing's head was bowed the entire time, and did not notice the struggle that appeared in Yun Tian's eyes who was staring at her, like a monster trapped in a quagmire.
There was no doubt that Gu Qing liked Yun Tian, but she still had her own pride after others had stated that they didn't like her. She was silent for a moment, and had already restrained her disappointment. She raised her head, and her smile was like a flower, brilliant and enchanting, just like when they had met for the first time. Even though her face was covered up, her smile had still entered Yun Tian's heart.
"I understand, I will let go of everything and will not cause trouble for Martial Uncle." Gu Qing smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
However, when Yun Tian saw her smile, he felt that it was very dazzling. He suppressed the emotions in his heart and didn't know what to say. He could only give a soft "En" in response.
She didn't want to stay any longer. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back and reveal her true feelings, so she quickly said, "Martial Uncle, no matter what, I wish you always happiness!"
She could see from Yun Tian's frozen eyes that he was not living a happy life. Although she was sad that she was not the person who gave him happiness, she hoped that this beautiful man who gave her the first rays of light would truly be happy.
After one last glance at Yun Tian, she resolutely turned around. In the end, she didn't say anything about saying goodbye. No matter if she was dead or alive, she would not give up on the kindness the heavens had shown her. She would bring this heaven defying treasure to cultivate well, and grow to become a strong warrior of this generation, never to be controlled by anyone again!
Gu Qing had left on the same day, but the first thing Qing Hee Immortal did when he woke up was to look for where Gu Qing was. How could the Qing Hee Immortal give up on the origin of the spiritual liquid so easily, he immediately chased after Gu Qing.
And on the third day of Qing Hee Immortal's departure, the Compendium Pavilion was robbed, many ancient books were lost, and an uproar occurred in the Cultivation Realm.
One must know that many of the treasures stored within the Huaqing Palace were solitaries that were left behind thousands of years ago when the Huaqing Palace was at its most flourishing, and not a single person was able to reach the threshold of cultivation.
"Go investigate!" We must bring back these few people who left recently! " The Huaqing Palace Sect Leader was furious, shouting at all the elite disciples in the sect.
How could he not be angry? The Huaqing Palace had been here for thousands of years, and there were countless experts within the sect. There were even people at the middle stage of the Nascent Infant who stole the ancient books from the Compendium Pavilion right under their noses.
Yun Yan quietly turned her head to look at Yun Tian. Seeing him with her eyes lowered, thinking about something, Yun Yan was a little worried.
Very quickly, all the elite disciples went out to search for the five disciples that had left the sect recently, including Gu Qing, Qing He, Hee Zhixian, and one of the disciples that left the previous day.
Walking out of the hall, Yun Yan walked to Yun Tian's side, "Senior Brother, what are you thinking about? Are you worried for Gu Qing? "
Hearing that, Yun Tian looked up, "I'm not worried about her. I'm just thinking about who could infiltrate the Barrier s of the Huaqing Palace's Book Collection Vault."
Although everyone was allowed to enter the Compendium Pavilion, only those with Golden Core Stage of at least the third floor were allowed to enter, and the highest floor had ancient records of several thousand years ago, where almighty beings had set up Barrier s. Unless one passed a sect trial and lowered the threshold to enter, one would definitely have to be at least at the tribulation level to enter.
The reason why he did not become a Golden Core Stage Cultivator anymore was because he wanted to increase his own cultivation and had more confidence. He never thought that something like this would happen.
Yun Yan did not say anything, she stared at Yun Tian, and understood that he had only said half of it, with his understanding of her senior brother, for him to suddenly agree to Sect Leader forming their dao companion, it was definitely not for no reason.
There was only one reason why she thought about it, and that was Gu Qing.
Although she hated that he didn't have anyone else in his heart, she would probably never be able to accomplish it without Gu Qing. She calmed herself down and looked at the man beside her who was so outstanding that it made everyone sad. She faintly smiled: "I believe that there will be a day when senior will fall in love with me."
Thinking about it here, she finally understood. Compared to Gu Qing, she was much luckier.
Gu Qing did not know that the Huaqing Palace was stolen, she was just escaping with all her might, since Qing Hee Immortal was still alive, she would definitely think of a way to find him.
This time, she could not go towards the direction of Stellar Kingdom. Qing Hee Immortal only needed to ask around to know and she would definitely be able to find out that she was hiding in the Stellar Kingdom.
She immediately chose to flee in the opposite direction from her Stellar Kingdom, still swallowing the Disguising Pill. However, she didn't expect that after escaping to a distance of only two hundred kilometers, she would be overtaken by Qing He.
Gu Qing had only passed by a village, but did not expect to see Qing He standing right in front. She immediately lowered her head, overcoming her impulse to turn around and leave, minimizing the aura surrounding her, and walked step by step towards the Qing Hee Immortal.
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, Gu Qing's heart nearly jumped out of her throat. She kept comforting herself that after swallowing the Disguising Pill, the other party should not know that she was Gu Qing. Qing He had no idea that she was the one who had walked over.
After she consoled herself like this, her footsteps gradually sped up. Very quickly, she crossed over Qing He and walked forward.
Her anxious heart gradually relaxed. Just as she was about to speed up her escape, she heard a voice from behind her, "Wait!"
Gu Qing's spine stiffened, she slowly turned his head, "You … Are you calling me? " She purposely pretended to be wooden and lifeless. After swallowing the Disguising Pill, her face was originally simple and honest.
"Come here, I have something to ask you." Qing Hee Immortal waved at her.
After experiencing the incident with Shen Chang, Gu Qing had become extremely cautious. Hearing that, she did not make a move, but said with inspiration: "Old Uncle, I'm in a hurry to save him, if there's anything I need help with, I have to go." After saying that, he openly turned around and ran.
But before she had taken a few steps, Qing Hee Immortal caught up and once again blocked her path. He sneered: "Do you think that I can't find you after devouring the Disguising Pill?!"
The dullness and foolishness in Gu Qing's eyes immediately dissipated. With a face full of shock, she didn't even say a word as she turned around and fled.
She did not know why Qing He knew that the disguised Gu Qing was she, but she had no doubt that the other party was clear about it. Right now, the most important thing was to escape.
Gu Qing flew tens of kilometers in one breath before turning around to look, only to find that Qing He was right behind him. Seeing her turn her head, her face was filled with ridicule, "Gu Qing, I advise you to immediately hand over the spiritual liquid.
The last time, Qing Hee Immortal already knew that he had been tricked by Gu Qing. It was probably because he captured Hee Zhixian and attracted others' attention that he allowed Gu Qing to escape. But Gu Qing himself definitely did not have that capability, otherwise why would she not make a move and trick him into capturing Hee Zhixian?
"I told you, I don't have any spiritual liquid. If you don't believe me, I, am going to kill you too. What else do you want?" Gu Qing roared at him, causing all of the pressure she had been suppressing for the past few days to come out.
The Qing Hee Immortal snorted coldly, "If there is no secret, why do you want to escape?"
"I'm just going out to gain some experience. It's not running away, I'm going to go back to Huaqing Palace right now." After Gu Qing finished speaking, she turned and flew in the direction of the Huaqing Palace.
Qing Hee Immortal immediately flew up and blocked her way, "You think you can return to Huaqing Palace?"
With that, the Qing Hee Immortal approached her step by step. Gu Qing retreated back while glaring at the other, "Qing Hee Immortal, don't force me! If you force a rabbit, it will bite. "
The Qing Hee Immortal sneered, "A mere Middle Period of Foundation Stage cultivator, let's see on what grounds you can bite us!" With that, the Qing Hee Immortal extended his hand out and a suction force landed on Gu Qing's body.
Gu Qing's body was uncontrollably pulled closer to the Qing Hee Immortal.
The Qing Hee Immortal grabbed the back of Gu Qing's neck and lifted his up in the air. Qing Hee Immortal's mouth revealed a cruel smile, "I'll ask you one more time, are you going to say it yourself, or do you want me to search your soul?"
Gu Qing endured the pain, her mind quickly turning. She knew that she had lied to Qing Hee Immortal once, and if she continued to be petty, she would not be able to lie to him.
"Martial Uncle, I already said that the item was bought from an auction house. I only have a little bit of it in my hands …" As Gu Qing said this, the Withered Handprint in her hand silently took shape.
"You think I would …" Before he could even finish the word "letter," his expression suddenly turned malevolent.
And also at this moment, Gu Qing turned and immediately escaped the Qing Hee Immortal's imprisonment, staring at his opponent nervously.
Qing Hee Immortal's expression slowly turned sinister, he gritted his teeth as he stared at her. At the same time, he took a step forward and attempted to get close to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing wanted to rush up to Qing Hee Immortal and finish him off, but she was worried that the Withered Handprint would not be able to kill his. After all, the other party was a cultivator of Golden Core Stage.
After thinking about it, Gu Qing decided that it would be better to escape first. Thus, when the Qing Hee Immortal bent over in pain to pant, she turned around and ran.
At the same time, her mind was thinking nonstop, why did she escape so far, did she swallow the Disguising Pill, or was she found by the Qing Hee Immortal in such a short period of time?
Was it a coincidence?
Gu Qing thought about it for a while and felt that this kind of coincidence was too few. The Qing Hee Immortal must have done something to him while he was still in Huaqing Palace, so no matter how far he escaped, he would still be able to easily find him.
