"Actually...if no other sect elders were present at the time, the matter might have been easier to resolve. After all, the Qingyun Sect is relatively tolerant of this matter."

"But...after seeing this, the elders who came to observe demanded an explanation from the Qingyun Sect."

Gu Qingze repeated doubtfully, "Give me an explanation?"

"Yes." The disciple nodded. "Other sects aren't as tolerant as the Qingyun Sect. Furthermore, friction is inevitable with other sects on a daily basis. Some of them are deliberately looking for trouble under the pretext of seeking justice."

"After all, the Qingyun Sect is the representative of the human race's upright sects. The Sect Leader naturally wanted to give an explanation to the other sects. To protect the sect's reputation, he imprisoned Fairy Bingling."

"Originally, the Sect Leader wanted to lock her up for a while and release her after things calmed down. But unexpectedly, she escaped less than a month after being locked up and hasn't returned since. This would be tantamount to confirming her possessed nature."

"Later... the master unilaterally expelled her from the sect..."

Gu Qingze asked again in confusion: "Is that all?"

The disciple didn't understand what was going on, but nodded. "Well, that's what I understand anyway."

"Then why were you so frightened and speechless just now? At first, you didn't even dare to mention the person's name?"

The disciple smiled and said, "Well... I'm just used to being cautious. After all, no one knows if she's truly possessed or fallen into the devil's way. If I call her name directly, what if there's a curse attached to her name and she dies as soon as I call her name..."

"But I was so engrossed in what I was saying later that I forgot about it."

As the disciple spoke, he scratched the back of his head and smiled naively.

"I see. Seeing your reaction just now, I thought Luo Shan Bing Ling had committed some unforgivable crime."

He looked at the disciple and asked, "Where is she now? Does anyone know her whereabouts?"

The disciple shook his head and said, "I don't know either. After she escaped, no one has seen her since."

"Actually... there are a lot of different speculations about her behind the scenes, but overall, her reputation is quite good. After all, Luo Shan is... very beautiful, and beautiful women shouldn't do anything too bad."

Gu Qingze was speechless. This judging standard was too hasty, wasn't it? However, he could understand it. After all, in the eyes of most people, appearance often affects a person's first impression.

However...although he is not sure what exactly happened back then, he still trusts Senior Brother Luo Shan very much.

He practiced magic skills probably because he was forced to do so in preparation for resurrecting his Taoist partner.

Gu Qingze speculated this, and couldn't help but recall that Senior Brother Luo Shan's previous residence was empty, without any trace of him, so he asked the disciple curiously.

The disciple said, "It's simply because Fairy Bingling left. Since she's gone, there's no point for us to go there."

After thanking the disciple, Gu Qingze prepared to return to Cangjian Peak. After all, the disciple also said that no one could find Senior Brother Luo Shan now.

However, this trip cannot be said to be a complete failure. At least... he learned some things about Senior Brother Luo Shan.

"Xiao Gu."

As he was flying back on his sword, he suddenly heard a voice calling him from behind. He inexplicably felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. As soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure.

"Senior Qi."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qingze's eyes. He really didn't expect it to be Elder Qi. Ever since Elder Qi brought him to Qingyun Sect, he had met him only a few times and never saw him again.

Elder Qi smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, to be honest, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Gu Qingze nodded: "Me too."

Although he had become a disciple of Qingyun Sect and should call her Elder Qi, he still habitually called her Senior Qi every time. She did not express any objection and just called her that.

Elder Qi approached him and asked, "Xiao Gu, have you gone for training?"

Gu Qingze nodded.

"Oh, by the way, actually... I heard part of the conversation between you and that unknown disciple. However, let me make it clear in advance that I didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose."

"Originally, after seeing you, I wanted to come and chat with you, but I saw you and a passing disciple, seemingly talking to each other. I was worried about disturbing you, so I waited not far away."

"But you know, as my cultivation improves, my hearing gets better, so I heard part of your conversation."

Elder Qi explained righteously that even if she didn't explain, it wouldn't matter, after all, as an elder, she didn't need to explain anything to her disciples, but she still explained.

Gu Qingze showed a perfect smile: "Senior Qi, it doesn't matter."

He didn't intend to hide anything and said directly, "Since you already know the content of the conversation, do you know anything more about the matter of Senior Sister Luo Shan... and the inside story related to it?"

He was about to say "Senior Brother Luo Shan" once, but after realizing that it was inappropriate, he quickly changed it to "Senior Sister Luo Shan".

After all, Senior Brother Luo Shan definitely doesn't want more people to know that he is a man, and... the more people know that he is a man, the more dangerous it will be for him.
