"Okay, leave it to me, I'll go right now," Jiang Qingcheng said happily, preparing to leave.

"Wait a moment, I'll give you the token, otherwise how will you get in?" Elder Liu said with a smile.

"Don't empty the treasure pavilion. I won't be able to explain it to the sect leader when he comes out of seclusion!" Elder Liu warned anxiously.

"Elder Liu is overthinking it. Is Qingcheng such a greedy person?" Jiang Qingcheng said with a smile.

"Qingcheng, don't listen to Elder Liu. Take whatever you like. Elder Liu agreed at the beginning, but now he's already complaining before you've even taken anything. He's so petty," Gu Changqing teased with a smile.

"Hahaha..." the group laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Jiang Qingcheng then left.

"Elder Liu, is the sect leader in the way? When will she finally emerge from seclusion?" Gu Changqing asked with concern.

"I'm not sure either. I think she's probably alright, otherwise she should have come out long ago. Why would she go through all that trouble to have us look for Blood Coral?" Elder Liu guessed.

"As for when she will emerge from seclusion, I don't know. She didn't say exactly when, just that it would be soon, and I didn't ask any further questions," Elder Liu added.

"If that's the case, then we can only wait and see," Gu Changqing said with a helpless expression.

"By the way, it seems like the six major demonic sects have vanished into thin air recently. There's been no movement at all, which is too quiet and seems abnormal," Gu Changqing said calmly.

“Yes, I also feel something is amiss. This is completely unlike their usual style. As the saying goes, there’s always something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. The more low-key the demons are, the more unsettling it becomes. I’ll send more people to investigate.” Elder Liu said thoughtfully.

"Well, since there's nothing much going on in the sect anyway, I plan to personally go to the lair of the six major demonic sects to see what they're up to, so our sect can be prepared," Gu Changqing said seriously.

"That's good. Many hands make light work. With Chief Gu personally taking the lead, we're sure to uncover more inside information and achieve twice the result with half the effort," Elder Liu said in full agreement.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

After saying that, he disappeared before Elder Liu could speak.

"That kid always comes and goes without a trace." Elder Liu smiled helplessly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this moment, Gu Changqing was already leading Jiang Qingcheng, riding the red Qilin, heading towards the six major demonic sects.

Halfway there, Jiang Qingcheng suddenly said, "Husband, I'm thirsty. What should we do? There's no village or shop in sight. Where can we find water?"

"Don't worry, Qingcheng. Look, there's a mountain range below us. Based on my experience, there's usually a water source near mountains," Gu Changqing said with a smile.

“That’s right, how come I didn’t think of that? My husband is so quick-witted,” Jiang Qingcheng said with a sudden realization.

"Red Qilin, let's go down and take a look," Gu Changqing said casually.

A moment later, they arrived safely at the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, the mountain range appears tall and vast, with incredibly steep cliffs, making it look extremely majestic and spectacular.

The mountains are surrounded by lush, unnamed trees, full of vitality, presenting a thriving scene.

Looking around, sure enough, there was a long, winding stream not far away.

Jiang Qingcheng cheered and ran over quickly, and Gu Changqing followed her.

The stream was crystal clear, and you could clearly see the stones in it.

Jiang Qingcheng reached out and touched the stream water, immediately feeling incredibly refreshed. She casually scooped up some water and drank it, instantly finding it icy cold, not only quenching her thirst but also incredibly sweet, leaving her with an unforgettable aftertaste.

"Husband, this stream water is so sweet and delicious, you should try some too," Jiang Qingcheng said with a look of delight.

"Hmm, it's really good, it tastes really good. Red Qilin, you should have some too." Gu Changqing took a sip and couldn't help but praise it, quickly urging his mount to have some as well.

"This place is not only beautiful, but also full of spiritual energy. It's really great, a wonderful place," Gu Changqing continued.

"Well, shall we rest here a little longer before setting off again?" Jiang Qingcheng suggested, seeing her husband's high praise.

"Alright, let's take a walk around and relax a bit," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

Then they strolled along, enjoying the scenery.

"Hey, my husband, did you hear anything?" Jiang Qingcheng suddenly asked.

"I heard it. It sounds like fighting. I thought I was hallucinating. How could there be anyone here in the middle of nowhere? Something's strange. Let's go see what's going on," Gu Changqing said with a puzzled look.

Following the sound, Gu Changqing soon found the source of the fight.

Two men were seen fighting.

The two of them were dressed in identical black robes and were currently engaged in a fierce fight.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing felt very strange. They should be on the same side, so why were they fighting? He really couldn't understand it.

After thinking for a long time but still unable to come up with a suitable reason, Gu Changqing shook his head and simply gave up on thinking about it.

Whether they fight to the death or live, what does it have to do with me?

Since it has nothing to do with me, I don't need to care. It doesn't do me any good, so why should I care?

So, Changqing said nonchalantly, "How boring, Qingcheng, let's go."

"Okay." Jiang Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

Just as they were about to leave, one of the men was suddenly overpowered and flew backward, landing right in front of Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing glanced at it with disdain and was about to walk around it when someone grabbed the corner of his clothes.

This person was the man in black who had fallen.

"Help me, hero!" the man in black pleaded desperately.

"Oh? Why should I save you? We are not related, and I am not the legendary philanthropist or living bodhisattva. What reason do I have to save you?" Gu Changqing asked calmly and logically.

“That’s right, we don’t know him, we have no obligation to save you, your life or death is none of our business. Husband, ignore him, let’s go quickly.” Jiang Qingcheng said impatiently.

When traveling, they prefer to avoid trouble. Although they are not afraid of trouble, they do not want to make enemies for no reason, which would not benefit them.

If there are benefits, then that's another story.

“Don’t go, hero! If you are willing to save me, I am willing to give you my younger sister. My sister is eighteen years old, a beautiful and graceful young woman with a curvaceous figure, incredibly youthful and charming, and stunningly beautiful. She is even more beautiful than the girl next to you.” The man in black quickly said.
