Chapter 106 Said, but didn't agree
He Qing struck Su Guang on the chest with his palm. The latter staggered and was barely supported by Chi Ying, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed. Su Guang covered the part of his body that was hit, and the hair on his forehead was dim, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.
Chi Ying was simply stunned by He Qing's actions. She glared at her with wide eyes: "How dare you do this?!"
He Qing ignored her and said to Su Guang coldly, "Evil disciple! I, He Qing, never believe in such absurd things as the summons of the devil. Even if you are really summoned by the devil again, it cannot be used as an excuse to deceive me! Now that things have come to this, our friendship as master and disciple has ended. From now on, we will never meet again and will never know each other again."
Such a decisive and informative statement caused an uproar in the audience.
Did Shaojun actually devote himself to being a disciple of others in the immortal sect before?
Was the young master summoned by the devil again?
What message does the devil’s new calling convey?
And the leader of the Yaoguang sect actually scolded Shaojun as if he were his disciple?
All kinds of doubts and shocks lingered in the hearts of all the demon cultivators, but no one wanted to interrupt at this time. Only Su Guang, who was the center of attention, still kept his head down and said nothing.
He Qing waved his sleeves and continued, "Today, I will spare your life for now because I am still seriously injured. If I meet you again in the future, I will never show mercy!" After saying that, he took advantage of the confusion of the crowd and flew over the crowd to Guanyue, winking at him, "Let's go!"
The wind in the Sanzu River seemed a bit cold, whizzing past the petrified demon cultivators. No one spoke for a long time.
In the end, it was Chi Ying who reacted first. He supported Su Guang and asked with concern, "Where is the injury, young master? Is it serious?"
Su Guang remained silent, but his shoulders trembled slightly.
Shi Tianxiao, who was supposed to be in a hostile relationship with Suguang, was shocked to see that the young master of the Demonic Path was actually bullied by the head of an immortal sect. He suddenly felt a sense of solidarity with the enemy and shouted, "Someone! Go and bring that woman back!"
"Yes!"
"No need." Su Guang stopped several demon cultivators who were about to chase after them in a gentle voice: "Let them go." His tone sounded relaxed and pleasant.
"what?"
Su Guang gently pushed Chi Ying away, stood up straight and looked in the direction where He Qing left. Not only did he not seem to be injured, but his eyes were even filled with a faint smile. He said, "It's only right for a master to teach his apprentice a lesson."
Hearing this, Shi Tianxiao's face wrinkled into a ball. He thought to himself that after not seeing him for many years, was Shaojun's brain a little bit not working? With his status, why would he be so eager to stick to the cold butt of the head of the immortal sect? He tentatively said: "Shaojun, the head of the Yaoguang Sect said that he would expel you from the sect."
Su Guang retracted his gaze, turned his eyes to look at Shi Tianxiao, and asked softly with a smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "She said it, did I agree?"
"..." Good fellow, are you really trying to be shameless? Suddenly, Shi Tianxiao felt that he still knew too little about this young master.
Seeing that Shi Tianxiao had no more words to say, Su Guang continued to look in the direction where the figure had long disappeared, his eyes soft and affectionate -
Although He Qing's palm strike looked powerful, he actually didn't use any strength at all. In the words that seemed to sever the relationship, he also mixed in the rumor that he was inspired by the devil to calm down Shi Tianxiao's embarrassment towards him. With this amulet, even if Shi Tianxiao was still dissatisfied with Su Guang, he would temporarily stay quiet for a while in order to know what information the devil had conveyed. As for the content of the information, Su Guang could naturally make it up as he wanted.
In such a short period of time, He Qing not only quickly created an illusion and severed his relationship with him, but also came up with an excuse to delay time for him. More importantly, he successfully escaped from him and no longer had to be pestered by him for the identity of his "sweetheart".
Master, oh Master, you will never let me down.

He Qing dragged Guan Yue and ran for an incense stick of time before stopping. Her sea of consciousness was almost drained out in the battle at Yuling Palace, and she had no chance to rest and recuperate afterwards. Now she was like an aging battery, consuming power very quickly.
She put her hands on her hips and walked under a big tree, taking long, slow breaths while saying, "I'm so sorry to have you come all the way from the North."
Guan Yue followed behind He Qing, and after she stood still, he used his palm to draw out his spiritual energy, transmitting it from her vest into her body. He said helplessly, "I thought you had jumped out of the sea of suffering, but I didn't expect that you actually jumped into another sea of suffering."
He Qing closed his eyes and let Guan Yue's spiritual energy dredge his meridians. He sighed, "Yeah, who would have thought that a young man I picked up from the roadside would be the young master of the magic sect who has been in seclusion for many years."
Guanyue could tell that Heqing was playing dumb, and she could see that she was determined to keep pretending. But as a peer, Guanyue couldn't say much, so she could only say indirectly: "Heqing, I can see that you have become more sober in the past year. There are many things that you don't need others to teach you how to do, but there are some things that you can't turn back if you make a wrong step. You still have to be... cautious."
He Qing found Guanyue's carefully chosen advice very pleasing to the ear. He took the initiative to cut off the spiritual connection with Guanyue, turned around and gave him a faint smile: "Thank you." This was a double entendre, thanking Guanyue for guiding his spiritual energy, as well as thanking him for his reminder.
He Qing changed the subject and asked, "How did you know I was in Sanzu River?" Her sea of consciousness was sometimes good and sometimes bad, so it should not be easy for the four leaders to track her down.
Guanyue knew that Heqing didn't want to talk about the Young Master of Demonic Path anymore. Although he felt helpless, he still went along with it and explained that Gu Changnian had gone to the Northern Territory for help.
After hearing this, He Qing felt complicated for a moment——
Gu Changnian should have been the person who had the most information about He Qing besides Hua Chiyu, but after what happened in the past few months, she knew less and less about this male protagonist.
Gu Changnian and Chen Sanyi conspired to cause trouble for the Yuling Palace. No matter who approached whom, since Gu Changnian was able to appear in the formation, it must have been of his own accord. So even if his original intention was to target the Young Lord of Demonic Path, after seeing He Qing rescue the people, he should have been able to determine that He Qing was a traitor.
But he still wanted to help her.
This is totally out of character.
Even if the relationship between He Qing and Gu Changnian eased, or even reconciled, as a great and glorious male leader of the immortal sect, he should not tolerate what He Qing did, let alone hide the truth for He Qing.
(Master, why can't you treat me like you treat Qingru? Why have you been with me day and night for many years, but I have never seen this side of you? What am I to you?)
Thinking of Gu Changnian's inner voice that he heard in the illusion, He Qing pressed his temples with a headache and secretly wondered: Could it be because of unwillingness?
