Chapter 304 Danzu Ruins
Chapter 304 Danzu Ruins
It's over.
Good friends began to deteriorate, and Qin Baiqing cried silently.
She gritted her teeth in annoyance for a moment, briefly reminisced about her lost friendship, and then decisively pushed Li Jiuxing away.
"I have someone I like," she said seriously, raising her chin, "I like Feng Budu, you've met him."
Li Jiuxing seemed to hear the sound of a broken heart.
He stood there in a daze, one hand still solemnly pressed against his chest, but at this moment, the flame that was so strong in its presence seemed to have cooled down, and it flickered, so faint that it was almost inaudible. The huge sense of loss almost overshadowed the surprise of seeing Qin Baiqing.
"I...you, what are you talking about?"
He put his hands away helplessly. After a moment of panic, he quickly suppressed his racing thoughts and seemed indifferent: "I greeted you because I wanted to ask you what you are doing here. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
The ears that were hidden seemed to droop sadly as he pretended to be calm in his voice.
"I'll wait for someone."
Qin Baiqing pursed her lips and got down to business.
Just after Li Jiuxing was told what happened in the Duan family, Fairy Guanghan arrived and landed in front of the two of them. Her cold spiritual light sprinkled down like moonlight, instantly bringing with it a clean and refreshing breath.
"Before I came, someone in the palace had already found out the news."
She waved her hand and spread out the information of several suspicious sects that had experienced the same situation as Patriarch Duan in front of them. She said calmly, "The palace has also noticed that the Tongbo Sect has begun to call for disciples to return, and now almost no one is leaving."
It was very similar to the tense atmosphere before the dragon clan took any action, when a storm was about to come.
"And the direction."
Another voice suddenly spoke, and Qin Baiqing and the others noticed that Gu Wujing was right behind Fairy Guanghan, and his presence was infinitely suppressed.
Because of his martial arts skills, almost no one would notice him unless he took the initiative to speak.
He took a step forward, and the gloomy death energy around him subsided a little. He pointed out the four sects including Tongbo Sect and said, "The death energy in these four directions has increased and is getting stronger."
While we were talking, almost everyone had arrived.
"Another disaster is brewing behind the scenes. We must prepare early." Yukieda fell into deep thought: "I will notify all the sects in the alliance and ask everyone to open the sect protection formation and prepare for the battle."
With the experience of the dragon clan last time, she believed that the various sects would be much more obedient this time.
After summarizing all the information they had obtained, several people said goodbye. Before leaving, Gu Wujing glanced at Qin Baiqing and suddenly remembered something.
"Are you collecting Sanqing-related relics?"
After getting a positive answer, he nodded indifferently, his calm face did not change at all, but he pointed out a place for Qin Baiqing.
It is the sphere of influence of one of the several sects where abnormalities have occurred.
"Red Cloud Sect, when we were investigating the death energy, we found that this is where three dragons gather. Maybe it can help you."
The news from Sanqing Palace had been stagnant for a long time. Qin Baiqing widened her eyes in surprise. After solemnly thanking Gu Wujing, she also planned to leave Qingqiu and go to the place where the three dragons gathered to check it out.
"I'll take you there." Li Jiuxing followed silently.
After everyone gathered, Li Jiuxing became unusually quiet. He gave himself enough time to grieve, and now he has cheered up.
Before he left, he stopped Qin Baiqing and said, "I still think you can consider liking me instead of liking someone else."
"We are the most suitable people, you should give me a chance." He paused, his tone low, but his eyes looked at Qin Baiqing very seriously, wanting to hold her hand to feel the flame on his chest.
"Your father gave you this, maybe he already recognized me. You also promised father that you would take good care of me, you can't go back on your word."
Qin Baiqing felt a little dizzy.
The moment her palm touched his chest, she could indeed feel the faint flame getting hot. Although it was subtle, it merged with Li Jiuxing's heart veins and beat with his blood. Its presence was so strong that Qin Baiqing's palm felt hot.
"But, but, Dad said at the beginning that there would be no marriage."
She continued speaking subconsciously following Li Jiuxing's words, but her brain quickly reacted and she quickly reiterated in a serious tone: "And I have someone I like!"
Almost got led astray by Li Jiuxing!
"I like you, you don't hate me, why can't you consider me?"
Before he could finish his words, the wrist that he had gently held in his palm was ruthlessly pulled away, and Feng Budu suddenly appeared, cold and unfriendly.
"She said no." He maintained his last bit of patience and took the people away. After Li Jiuxing reacted, he hurriedly tried to stop him and directly lowered the Qingqiu formation to keep the two of them.
Qin Baiqing was kept by Feng Budu and was keenly aware of his low aura.
Her confused mind seemed to be suddenly illuminated. She curled her eyes, realized something, waved goodbye to Li Jiuxing decisively, and left through space.
"I like me, too!" she said firmly.
"When did I ever say that your top priority is to go back to class?"
"No, it's not..." Qin Baiqing's tail was almost up in the air, and she said proudly with her hands behind her back: "You don't like others to like me."
He pushed away Qin Baiqing who was getting closer and closer, and recalled some not-so-good memories. He refused helplessly: "You are too young to understand what love is."
She couldn't even tell the difference between a playmate and a childhood sweetheart. She had spent most of her more than 100 years in seclusion. In Feng Budu's eyes, she was essentially the same little girl who reached out for a hug back then.
But Qin Baiqing naturally understood it as: "You mean, just wait until I grow up a little bit. Then you promised me!"
It was nothing more than a separation that was still planned. Qin Baiqing accepted it well and respected Feng Budu's choice very considerately.
"You...forget it."
There are so many things she likes in the world, so she can't take her enthusiasm seriously. Feng Budu had no choice but to change the subject: "I got a pill from the Duan family's treasury."
The pitch-black pill was delivered to Qin Baiqing. The moment she held it in her hand, the Sanqing Small World suddenly felt a sense of induction. A mountain of Taoist priests holding a medicine pot flickered and struggled, eager for the pill in front of him.
"It is the site of Sanqing Palace, where Ge Hong presented the elixir and the immortal opened the mountain."
The founder of the Dan Sect of Sanqing Palace traveled to this hut to practice Taoism and left behind the first furnace of elixirs, which has a deep connection with Sanqing.
She blinked, and returned the pill to Sanqing Palace in surprise. There was another commotion in the small world, a large area revealed its true appearance, and another spiritual vein was recovered.
The thing that the Duan family used to communicate with the old way of heaven was actually the spiritual vein of Sanqing Palace!
Feng Budu reminded her: "This item can be used to communicate with the old way of heaven. It is a treasure of the Duan family. Perhaps..."
"I know," Qin Baiqing quickly understood, and realized something with surprise and joy: "Perhaps, the other several abnormal sects also use the Sanqing Palace ruins to communicate with the old heavenly way."
