Wen Shi and Qingyu's eyes met, and they both saw the coldness in each other's eyes. They knew that from this moment on their brotherhood no longer existed, and was replaced by a competitive relationship.

Qingyu took a step forward, his fox eyes flashing with a smile as he said, "Master Wen, we still don't know who will win or lose in the end."

With that, he turned and walked away, holding his umbrella. Wen Shi watched him leave, his hand clenched tightly in his sleeve. He wanted to tell Qingyu that he was his senior brother, so he would always be better than him, and he was destined to be the winner in the end.

Wen Shi looked at Qingfeng Palace, then turned and left.

A few days passed, and when Leng Yan checked Qing Huan's homework, she found that her expression was dull. Leng Yan put down the book in her hand, looked at her and asked: "Why, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Qinghuan looked at her and said pleadingly: "Can I?" The time Leng Yan was sick, Wen Shi later asked her to take care of Leng Yan every step of the way.

So she stayed in Qingfeng Palace, and she was not allowed to leave Qingfeng Palace.

Leng Yan heard her words, looked at the snowy scene outside, then took a sip of tea from the teacup beside her and said, "Okay, but you have to wait a moment."

Although Qinghuan didn't know what she meant, he didn't ask anything and sat back obediently.

The next day, at noon, a person Qing Huan had never seen before appeared in Qing Feng Palace. Leng Yan looked up and saw that it was Gong Cang. She leaned against the bed and stretched out one hand to check Gong Cang's pulse.

Holding a book in his other hand and reading it, Gong Cang checked Leng Yan's pulse and made sure that she was fine, then turned to look at Leng Yan.

Leng Yan noticed his gaze, retracted her hand and put the book aside, turned to look at Gong Cang and said: "I want to go out for a walk, can you do it?" Gong Cang looked at Leng Yan and asked: "Then Yan'er, what is the reward?"

Leng Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Gong Cang, then reached out to Gong Cang's face and twisted the strand of Gong Cang's hair that she had turned white.

Another flash of gold passed through his eyes, and then the white turned into black. Leng Yan let go of his hand, letting the strand of hair that had turned back to black sway gently.

Then Leng Yan yawned lightly, with mist in her eyes, and then Leng Yan's lazy voice came into her ears, "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Gong Cang laughed when he heard this and said to Leng Yan: "Get up, I'll take you out."

Leng Yan heard this and called Qing Huan to take her to change clothes. After a while, the two appeared in Qingfeng Hall again. Leng Yan looked at Gong Cang and said, "Let's go."

Gong Cang saw Qing Huan and said nothing. He walked in front of Leng Yan. Except for Qing Feng Palace, Gong Cang asked Leng Yan where he wanted to go. Leng Yan thought for a moment and then replied, "I remember there is a place with winter plum blossoms in Qing Yuan Sect. I want to go and see it."

Gong Cang nodded and led the two of them in one direction. After a while, they appeared on the hillside of a mountain in Shanxi. The mountain was planted with wintersweets. It was the middle of winter and the wintersweets were in full bloom.

Leng Yan looked at the plum blossoms quietly. Usually, the people who came to this place were the peak masters, and the elders were Han Qing and Qing Yuhui. But today, it happened that no one else came.

There is also a pavilion dedicated to plum blossom viewing on the side, with tables and chairs in the pavilion.

Gong Cang looked at Leng Yan standing in the snow, wondering if Wen Shi was lying to him. She remembered that the wintersweets were in full bloom, and she came here specifically to see them. She didn't look like the depressed person Wen Shi said she was.

Gong Cang watched the broken snow on the plum tree being blown by the wind and falling on Leng Yan, so he asked Leng Yan to go with him to the pavilion on the side to sit and watch.

Leng Yan did not refuse, but said to Qing Huan: "Qing Huan, go pick a few plum blossoms and bring them back later."

Qing Huan knew that she had something to tell Gong Cang, so she said "yes" and walked away. Gong Cang watched Qing Huan leave and raised an eyebrow and said, "You are quite considerate."

Leng Yan just looked at Qing Huan's departing back and said nothing. Then Gong Cang looked at Leng Yan and said, "What does Yan'er want to say to me?"

Then, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, he said, "Or do you want to ask me how Qin Du is doing now? Yan'er, if I plant this poisonous insect in Qin Du, how ugly will his death be?"

Leng Yan now knows that these people are not mentally normal and doesn't want to argue with them about this matter.

When Qin Du came to see her, the jade pendant she gave him was a magical tool that could conceal one's own aura. She thought of it as a precautionary measure, but now it actually came in handy.

However, looking at Gong Cang's expression, it is not difficult to guess that they must not have found Qin Du.

Gong Cang looked at Leng Yan in silence, and with a flip of his hand, a pitch-black poisonous insect appeared in his hand. Gong Cang supported his head with one hand and held the poisonous insect quietly in the other hand.

He looked at Leng Yan with eyes like a venomous snake stalking its prey; cold, bloodthirsty, and concealing a deep desire to control the prey that was about to be devoured. If anyone else were stared at like that, they would surely feel a chill down their spine.

It’s just a pity that Gong Cang is facing a madman who is no less capable than them, and even more perfect and outstanding than them.

Leng Yan's tone was casual, as if she didn't care about the matter at all: "This matter has nothing to do with me, but I am curious, didn't you like Qin Du before? Why are you so ruthless to him now? How much have you been hiding from me behind this?"

When she said the last sentence, Leng Yan's voice instantly became cold, and her body leaned forward slightly. Her beautiful eyes, without any emotion, stared at Gong Cang's face, not wanting to miss any expression on it.

Gong Cang looked at Leng Yan and said, "Didn't Yan'er already know the truth from Qingyu? Why are you asking me again?"

Leng Yan sat up straight again and said, "You are so secretive. I am even more curious. I want to go find Qin Du and ask him."

Gong Cang looked at Leng Yan with a playful smile on his face, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said with a smug look of confidence: "Yan'er, you can't escape from Qingyuan Sect."

Leng Yan only lazily lifted her eyelids to glance at Gong Cang after hearing this, then said nonchalantly, "Oh, I see." Seeing Leng Yan's indifference, Gong Cang felt like vomiting blood. What Gong Cang didn't know was that at this moment, the system in Leng Yan's mind was angrily saying, "Master, kill him and let him be proud."

Leng Yan ignored the system and continued to stare at Gong Cang. In the end, Gong Cang was defeated. It was really because Leng Yan was staring at him that he could no longer suppress the thoughts in his heart.

He spoke in a light voice as if he was talking about something insignificant: "It's not that I can't talk about this, it's just the secrets hidden in Qin Du.

So, Yan'er, I'm wondering, when you protected Qin Du before, was it because you already knew the secret about Qin Du, or was it because of some other reason?"

As soon as these words came out, Leng Yan had a thought in her mind: "As expected, they are all old foxes. How could they not see the secret hidden in Qin Du?"

As for why they wanted to kill Qin Du, on the one hand, it might be because of her reasons, but on the other hand, it was also because Qin Du himself was stupid and provoked them when he was not strong enough.

His provocative behavior was really stupid in the eyes of Wen Shi and others who were at the center of power in the cultivation world.

The damage Qin Du's actions caused to Wen Shi and the others was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
