Lu Qing was kicked down the mountain by her master to find her fiancé right after her eighteenth birthday party.
When the entire capital found out that the eldest young master of the wealthy ...
Liu Mosheng was taken aback, then quickly covered Liu Manyun with the blanket.
"What are you doing here? Get out!"
"Manyun doesn't want you to see her like this."
Lu Qing didn't go out, but walked over, took Liu Manyun's hand, and used his strength to help relieve her pain.
Gu Xicheng also used his divine power to cover her.
With their help, the three forces within Liu Manyun's body quickly regained balance, and the pain gradually disappeared.
She fainted from the pain, and only vaguely saw Lu Qing's shadow in her hazy state.
"Idol……"
In her sleep, Liu Manyun murmured something.
Lu Qing sat on the edge of the bed, gently wiping the cold sweat from her forehead:
"I'm here, get some sleep."
Gu Fei, Cheng Yiyi, Leng Wei, and Yang Xiwen walked in.
Upon seeing Liu Manyun, who was as thin as a skeleton, the group's eyes immediately reddened, and they covered their mouths, almost bursting into tears.
They hadn't expected Liu Manyun to be so weak after only two months apart.
After Liu Manyun fell asleep, Lu Qing gestured for Liu Mosheng to go outside to talk.
"I want to save Manyun!" Lu Qing said directly.
Liu Mosheng's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly said:
"Don't do anything reckless! The entire Tianji Sect was established just so you could live. If anything happens to you, all the suffering that Manyun endured will have been for nothing."
Lu Qing: "Don't worry, I'll keep my life."
"So many people want me to live, I won't die easily, but I can't bear to watch Manyun die because of me."
Liu Mosheng gritted his teeth and said:
"I shouldn't have agreed to let Manyun go to you in the first place."
"Even if I didn't know Manyun right now, I wouldn't just stand by and watch an innocent person suffer so much because of me."
Lu Qing took a deep breath and said:
"I am going to the Fox Clan of Qingqiu to find the Mirror Flower Water Jade, which can save Manyun."
Liu Mosheng was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said:
"no!"
"The Mirror Flower Water Jade is a treasure of the fox clan, how could they possibly give it to you!"
"Besides, Qingqiu is not a place you can easily break into. If something happens to you, everything will be over!"
Lu Qing smiled and said, "You don't need to worry so much, I'm just going to give it a try."
"Qingqiu is, after all, half of the immortal realm. They are all reasonable foxes, not fox demons. Even if I can't get it, it won't cost me my life."
"But……"
Liu Mosheng wanted to persuade him further, but Lu Qing interrupted him:
"Don't you want Manyun to live?"
Liu Mosheng clenched his hands, stared in the direction of the room, and choked out:
"She's my only family member, how could I not want her to live!"
"Then let's not say any more. I'll leave tomorrow. Trust us!"
"Don't tell Manyun about this. The Poison Dragon Inner Core should be able to sustain her for a while. I'll be back as soon as possible."
After saying that, Lu Qing went to the room and took one last look at Liu Manyun.
She needs to go back and catch up on her sleep, get some rest, and head to Qingqiu in the best possible condition.
After leaving Tianji Sect, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing took Gu Fei and the others back to school, and then went home.
I don't know when I'll be back from this trip. I need to ask the school for leave and also tell my family.
Lu Qing didn't dare tell anyone about her intention to sacrifice herself, and to this day, her parents and brothers still don't know.
Helian Shi did notice something, but he didn't say anything.
Upon learning that Lu Qing was going to Qingqiu, Helian Shi agreed without asking any questions.
This trip to Qingqiu was not easy, so only Lu Qing, Gu Xicheng, and Helian Shi went.
That night, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng had a good night's sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, he met up with Helian Shi and they left together.
The entrance to Qingqiu is in a mountain, which is protected by a barrier that restricts both the fox clan from leaving and humans from entering.
Fortunately, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing possessed divine bones, and Helian Shi was not entirely human either, so passing through the barrier did not require much effort.
Lu Qing felt as if she had passed through a transparent curtain of water, and then the scene in front of her changed.
The sky is blue, and the mountains are green.
The mountains stretch endlessly, majestic and imposing, while at their foot streams flow gurglingly, their waters crystal clear.
The valley is filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, and many precious medicinal plants and spiritual plants emit a glimmer of light.
Not far away, various exotic animals dwell here, birds fly through the forest with clear and melodious calls, and deer and jade rabbits forage on the grass.
Startled by the arrival of an unfamiliar presence, they quickly hid.
"I've long heard that Qingqiu is like a paradise on earth, but I never expected to see it with my own eyes. It's even more beautiful than described in books!" Lu Qing couldn't help but exclaim.
Helian Shi: "If humans didn't destroy the ecosystem, things would be pretty much the same as here."
"Helian Shi, have you been to the Fox Clan? Have you heard of the Mirror Flower Water Jade?" Lu Qing asked.
Helian Shi frowned and thought for a moment before saying:
"Last night I looked through the things I had written in my notebook and remembered some things, but there was no record of the Mirror Flower Water Jade."
But it's a priceless treasure; the fox clan chief surely knows about it. Go ask him!
Lu Qing was somewhat surprised: "Go ask directly? You know the fox clan chief?"
Helian Shi nodded: "I know him. I think we're friends."
"Seems like it?" Lu Qing looked puzzled.
Helian Shi: "It was written in the notebook, but I don't remember it."
Lu Qing pouted: "Besides my third brother, who else do you remember!"
"Helian Shi, do you still remember how to get to the Fox Clan?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Helian Shi shook his head: "I don't remember. Let's catch a small animal and ask!"
"I'll go!"
Lu Qing looked towards the distant bushes and spotted a small sika deer.
The sika deer sensed something was wrong and turned to run away.
"Trying to run? No way!"
Lu Qing formed a hand seal and threw out a talisman.
However, the next second, the sika deer flashed and a human figure suddenly appeared in front of it.
Lu Qing looked closely and realized that the person looked somewhat familiar.
Senior Brother!!
Lu Qing was startled; it was too late to retrieve the talisman.
Fortunately, Qin Yuebai was no pushover either. Sensing danger, she reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
The talisman fell to the ground and caught a groundhog that hadn't had time to escape.
Lu Qing ran over quickly:
"Senior Brother, are you alright?"
Qin Yuebai was somewhat surprised to see Lu Qing:
"Qingqing, what are you doing here?"
Lu Qing was also surprised: "Senior Brother, what are you doing here?"
Qin Yuebai: "I've come to find a fox spirit senior from Qingqiu to ask you some questions. What about you?"
Lu Qing: "We've come to find the Mirror Flower Water Jade to save people."
Qin Yuebai's brows furrowed immediately:
"Mirror Flower Water Jade! That's a treasure of the fox clan, what are you looking for it for?"
Lu Qing recounted the events surrounding the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
Qin Yuebai frowned even more deeply:
"So what did they figure out?"
Lu Qing shook her head: "No. But judging from Liu Mosheng's tone, there seems to be some progress."
"Senior brother, are you looking for the fox clan elders to ask about me?"
Qin Yuebai nodded: "A fox spirit that has lived for tens of thousands of years knows far more than we do. I'll try my luck."
A look of guilt flashed in Lu Qing's eyes:
"Are Master, Mistress, and the other senior brothers all alright?"
Qin Yuebai smiled slightly: "As long as you are safe and sound, we are all fine."
Lu Qing wanted to say sorry, but felt that it would be too formal, so she could only give a bitter smile.
Just then, a voice came from the void:
"We have prepared tea and snacks at home. Please come in and have a seat, our guests!"
