Chapter 455

Qinglin eagerly awaited his master to put Rongrong into the jade gourd, and then he would take Rongrong and the jade gourd back to the cultivation world together.

The jade gourd was a magical artifact they specially crafted to take Rong Rong away. The spatial rift was small and unstable, requiring not only a certain number of people to pass through, but also a certain level of strength. If one's strength was insufficient, their body and soul were likely to be torn apart by the spatial rift.

Qinglin was chosen through compromise among various parties, not only because of his strength, but also because he had spent the most time with Rongrong and was the least likely to be rejected by her.

However, the jade gourd had a prerequisite for taking Rong Rong away: it had to gain Rong Rong's complete trust.

Not many people can do this, and Ji Hengchuan is one of them.

Qinglin deliberately approached Ji Hengchuan.

When he first arrived in this world and saw that Rong Rong was getting engaged to Ji Hengchuan, his anger and jealousy almost caused him to destroy the world.

Why is it that this person can win Rong Rong's love?

Ji Hengchuan is just an ordinary mortal, how could he be worthy of Rong Rong?

Fortunately, Qinglin managed to restrain himself; he couldn't let his impulsiveness ruin things.

Therefore, Qinglin specifically sought out Ji Hengchuan and said those words.

He was nervous before Ji Hengchuan took the jade gourd. He both hoped that Ji Hengchuan would believe his story and hoped that Ji Hengchuan would not believe it. He was conflicted, just like his chaotic heart.

The purpose of making Ji Hengchuan believe was to prove that Ji Hengchuan was nothing special, and that he was no different from them.

They were all deceived. If Rong Rong saw Ji Hengchuan like this, would she be able to forgive them?

To dissuade Ji Hengchuan from believing her was to prevent Rong Rong from getting hurt again. The people Rong Rong chose should firmly protect her, even if Rong Rong really was a witch, they should always stand by her side.

This was an idea that Qinglin gradually came to understand after Rongrong left.

He loved Rong Rong. No matter what Rong Rong looked like, whether she was good or bad, he was willing to stand by her side, shield her from the wind and rain, and hand her weapons.

Therefore, Ji Hengchuan, who took the jade gourd, deserves to die!

Qinglin's gaze suddenly darkened. Everyone who hurt Rong Rong deserved to die. He would smash Ji Hengchuan's body, extract Ji Hengchuan's soul, and torment him day and night.

Qinglin felt a pang of sympathy for Rong Rong; his junior sister was going to be sad again.

However, it doesn't matter. When they return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, they will erase Rong Rong's memory and will never let anyone hurt her again. As long as Rong Rong is happy, that's all that matters!

Qinglin's eyes gradually glazed over, as if veiled by a layer of mist, staring at a distant target. He couldn't wait to bring Rongrong home.

Finally, Qinglin slowly disappeared from the spot and then appeared in Rongrong's room.

At that moment, Rong Rong was holding Ji Hengchuan, looking up and saying something, her smile as bright as the spring sunshine.

Qinglin had never seen Rongrong like this before, and for a moment he was completely mesmerized.

The woman's rosy lips were luscious and alluring, and her watery eyes held a gentle tenderness, shimmering with light, easily etching themselves into his heart.

And that exquisitely beautiful face, so beautiful it was unimaginable, had been unseen for so long, yet it still made Qinglin's heart flutter at just one glance, his heartbeat gradually rising, telling of his love and longing.

But soon, a surge of jealousy destroyed everything. He mocked him relentlessly, "He's nothing but a bug, how dare he ask Rong Rong for a smile?"

Rong Rong and Ji Hengchuan were suddenly startled and turned around at the same time.

"Is it you?" Rong Rong exclaimed softly.

Qinglin's expression softened suddenly, and he gave a faint smile. "Rongrong, it's been a long time."

"What are you doing here?" Rong Rong's face turned cold, and she gripped Ji Hengchuan's arm tightly, as if trying to draw strength from him.

This small gesture made Qinglin's face darken, and the smile on his lips could barely hold up. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to maintain a gentle demeanor, saying softly, "Of course I'm here to take you back to the Myriad Immortals Sect."

"You're dreaming!" With a sharp rebuke, Rong Rong unconsciously took a few steps back, as if Qing Lin were some kind of monstrous flood.

Qinglin forced a smile, "That's not up to you."

What's so great about this place? Nothing compares to cultivating immortality! You can have an infinitely long life, maintain a youthful body forever, and do anything you want.

Rong Rong, wouldn't it be better to be an immortal?

Qinglin asked Rongrong earnestly, still somewhat puzzled. In his view, the birth, aging, sickness, and death of mortals were very painful, so why was Rongrong unwilling to go back with him?

Thinking it over, Qinglin looked at Ji Hengchuan again, her gaze indifferent and aloof, "How about it? If you want to cultivate immortality, I can be merciful and take you with me!"

Qinglin looked at Ji Hengchuan with unwavering disdain. He believed that under such a huge temptation, Ji Hengchuan would definitely agree to go with him, just like how Ji Hengchuan had easily trusted him and betrayed Rong Rong just now.

However, the result was unexpected. Ji Hengchuan simply replied, "I don't want to."

Qinglin paused, then burst out laughing. He knew this man was just putting on an act in front of Rong Rong, trying to hide his shameless and ugly side from her. Did he really think he could rekindle his romance with Rong Rong after they reached the cultivation world?

snort.

Qinglin sneered, "Rongrong doesn't know, does she? Your fiancé knows you're a witch, and he's terrified of you now. He even betrayed you long ago!"

At this moment, Qinglin's face was filled with jealousy and sarcasm. Where was the upright and dignified senior brother of Xuanxiao Peak?

Rong Rong turned around and met Ji Hengchuan's gaze.

Qinglin laughed out loud, "Rongrong, did you see that? Actually, we're all the same. We were just deceived and misunderstood you. It's not our fault."

Let's go back to the sect with our senior brother!

Qinglin reached out his hand to Rongrong, waiting for her to walk towards him and return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect with him.

However, Rong Rong and Ji Hengchuan both turned around at the same time, looking at him with unspeakable expressions.

"Didn't you notice anything wrong?" Rong Rong asked sincerely, her clear eyes wide open.

"What?" Qinglin was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you notice that Ji Hengchuan doesn't seem surprised at all by what you said? You said you were deceived and that you misunderstood me?"

Rong Rong kindly reminded him, and Qing Lin's expression changed instantly.

He looked at Ji Hengchuan in disbelief, and Ji Hengchuan smiled slightly.

"Are you planning to use this to take me away?" Rong Rong held up the jade gourd in front of her eyes, the white jade gourd swaying slightly under the red rope.

Ji Hengchuan had already told Rong Rong everything when he took out the jade gourd.

"How could this be?" Qinglin was taken aback. How could he not see that the jade gourd had lost its luster?

Such a jade gourd is no longer a ritual implement, but has become an ordinary pendant.

Qinglin stared intently at the jade gourd, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Rong Rong suddenly let go of her hand, and the jade gourd fell to the ground with a thud before Qing Lin's eyes.

"No," Qinglin murmured, as if what was shattered was not the jade gourd, but his heart.

It wasn't easy for him to come here, and he could only take Rong Rong back by putting her body into the jade gourd.

The broken jade gourd meant he no longer had a vessel to take Rongrong back, and who knew when he would be able to go back and get another magical artifact.
