Chapter 372
Lin Qingqiu's undisguised pride really irritated some people.
"Hey! Isn't this Lord Demon? How come you have time to bother with us, the unwelcome ones?"
As soon as Master Changping opened his mouth, the people around him all smiled bitterly.
Among all of them, Chang Ping Zhen Jun had the best relationship with Cheng Hui, and was also the most excluded by Lin Qingqiu. When Cheng Hui died, Chang Ping Zhen Jun was certainly dissatisfied with those righteous sects, but he also had a lot of resentment towards Lin Qingqiu.
In his opinion, Cheng Hui's final fate was entirely caused by Lin Qingqiu.
If he had not deliberately concealed his identity and approached Cheng Hui, how could Cheng Hui be forced to face such a dilemma?
Why don't you just be a Demon Lord and be a Demon Lord? Why are you pretending to be a righteous cultivator and teasing us?
At that time, Chang Ping Zhenjun and Cheng Hui were just ordinary disciples of the righteous path, worthy of the word "ordinary", so he could not understand why Lin Qingqiu kept targeting Cheng Hui.
Chang Ping Zhenjun used to be careless and didn't notice Lin Qingqiu's subtle exclusion. He was very confused at one point. He and Cheng Hui were obviously good friends and they had endless topics to talk about every time they met. How could they have become distant without realizing it?
It wasn't until Lin Qingqiu's identity was exposed and all sorts of gossip spread that he suddenly realized what was going on. All the little details he had previously ignored also surfaced in his mind.
Depend on!
Should he also thank the Demon Lord for not killing him?
You know, he was just a small golden elixir at that time. If the Demon Lord wanted to, he could make him disappear silently.
Even though they had only spent a short time together, he could see that the Demon Lord cared a lot about Cheng Hui, and his ability to survive was undoubtedly related to Cheng Hui.
At that time, he couldn't afford to offend the Demon Lord, nor could he defeat him, so after Cheng Hui's death, he could only sulk by himself.
But now it's different.
He really wanted to say to the Demon Lord: The world has changed!
He is no longer the little cultivator who could be bullied at will. Now, he has evolved into: Niu Hulu·Nascent Soul·Chang Ping!
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he has the confidence to face a Divine Transformation cultivator!
He was confident that as long as Lin Qingqiu couldn't kill him with one slap, he would definitely be able to escape.
Anyway, Cheng Hui was present, and there was no way Lin Qingqiu would hit him a second time - Cheng Hui was confident about this, regardless of whether he had lost his memory. After all, human nature would not change - so he cursed very loudly, not afraid of Lin Qingqiu's revenge at all.
Anyway, when he returns this time, he plans to stay in seclusion for a hundred or eighty years. When he comes out, Lin Qingqiu will have calmed down, right?
Well... yes, the desire to survive is so strong!
Master Changping seemed tough, but he actually looked at Lin Qingqiu cautiously.
Today, Lin Qingqiu was wearing a bright red wedding dress, radiant and dazzling. The bright smile on her face made Master Chang Ping's eyelids twitch.
Lin Qingqiu was in a really good mood at this moment, and he was not angry even when provoked by Master Changping.
He introduced Cheng Hui with a smile: "Ah Hui, these are some of the people you knew in the past."
Cheng Hui: “…Ah?”
Then he added, "But they are not important, they are just acquaintances."
Cheng Hui: “…Oh…” I always feel that Qingqiu’s tone is a little weird.
He looked at the people in front of him, and his mind went blank when he saw those faces.
Well, he really didn't have much impression of these people.
Perhaps he sacrificed a lot of memories in order to be resurrected from the dead. In any case, Cheng Hui's memory recovery has always been rather mysterious.
At present, most of them are related to Cheng Hui, and occasionally there is some time when he is alone, but there is nothing more.
So even though Lin Qingqiu said that these people were people he knew, he really felt that they were just strangers.
Maybe they really are just acquaintances, Cheng Hui thought to himself, and gave them a polite smile.
Many people had gloomy expressions. They were all witnesses of past events and felt guilty towards Cheng Hui.
It’s not that they had done anything before, but Cheng Hui once asked them to help bring a message to Lin Qingqiu, but they refused with the reason that good and evil had other reasons.
From their perspective and the circumstances at the time, they did nothing wrong. However, the ultimate result was Cheng Hui's death, which is why they feel guilty.
This is also the reason why Master Changping could question Lin Qingqiu with confidence.
At that time, he was the only supporter of the two of them - no, he couldn't be called a supporter, he just clearly opposed some people using Cheng Hui to ambush Lin Qingqiu.
He understood Cheng Hui and knew that with his personality, even if Lin Qingqiu was a demon cultivator, he had never done anything cruel or vicious in their interactions with Cheng Hui. He would never accept Cheng Hui framing his friend just because he said that he was a demon lord.
It was a pity that he had little influence at that time and no one would listen to the words of a young disciple. He was even excluded from the entire plan because he raised objections to the plan.
Chang Ping Zhenjun had never done anything to offend Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu, so he had the opportunity to receive special treatment from Lin Qingqiu.
Looking at Cheng Hui's confused eyes, Chang Ping sighed secretly in his heart.
Cheng Hui had probably completely lost his memory of the past. But forgetting was fine; some things could only be truly let go after forgetting them.
Chang Ping looked into the distance and saw a timid figure standing there. When the figure noticed Chang Ping's gaze, he immediately hid behind a pillar in panic.
Chang Ping retracted his gaze and smiled at Cheng Hui: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, I wish you and the Demon Lord eternal love and a long and happy marriage."
Cheng Hui smiled sincerely, raised his glass and gestured to him, "Thank you."
Chang Ping looked at Lin Qingqiu again, his face stern: "I don't need to explain how your marriage came about. I just hope you can treat Cheng Hui well. If one day, you do something to let Cheng Hui down... I will..."
Lin Qingqiu smiled playfully: "What do you want?"
Chang Ping was speechless for a moment. He definitely couldn't win the fight. As for revenge, he really wasn't sure if he could deal with this cunning guy.
After thinking about it, he felt a little annoyed. He was a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he couldn't even take revenge on someone? This was too tragic!
Fortunately, Lin Qingqiu didn't intend to target him, the only friend who could understand Cheng Hui's choice. He smiled and offered him a glass of wine, saying calmly, "You know, I begged Ah Hui back after so much trouble. If you want us to separate, I'll have to die."
The corners of Chang Ping's mouth twitched twice. Lin Qingqiu was indeed still the same Lin Qingqiu.
Hey man, I just wanted to scare you, not to feed me dog food!
He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, drank the glass of wine, then threw up his sleeves and left in a swift and graceful manner.
The purpose of his coming here was to see Cheng Hui and make sure that Cheng Hui was alive and well.
As for whether Cheng Hui has forgotten himself or others, they are just trivial matters. For us cultivators, fate comes and goes, and gatherings and separations are like the wind. How can there be so much reluctance to let go?
"Master, why are your eyes red?" Lu Qingsong asked cautiously.
"Nonsense! How can my eyes be red? It's because of the wind that I'm blinded!" Chang Ping said with his neck stiff as he stood on the flying boat.
Lü Qingsong: …
Okay, you are the master and you have the final say. As for whether the Nascent Soul cultivator will be blinded by the wind... you also have the final say!
The departure of Master Changping did not cause any ripples. In fact, it was actually very strange for several righteous cultivators to appear at the Demon Lord's dual cultivation ceremony.
However, due to the occasion, those demonic monks had to give the Demon Lord some face, so they did not fight on the spot.
After Chang Ping Zhenjun left, many other people left one after another. Some of them even tried to talk to Cheng Hui, but unfortunately, due to Lin Qingqiu's intentional or unintentional obstruction, these people had no chance to get close to Cheng Hui at all.
In the end, those people could only leave sadly.
Lin Qingqiu looked at the backs of those people leaving with indifference. He didn't intend to target them, but he also didn't want Cheng Hui to have any contact with them.
Cheng Hui has him, that’s enough!
"What are you looking at?" Noticing that Lin Qingqiu was distracted, Cheng Hui looked in his direction curiously.
Those people had disappeared long ago, so he naturally saw nothing.
"Nothing, just some unimportant things." Lin Qingqiu smiled faintly.
Cheng Hui didn't investigate further. The two of them walked across the square, stopping from time to time to say hello.
Lin Qingqiu knew Cheng Hui's character very well. Regardless of those casual cultivators on the periphery, basically none of those invited by him had a cruel character.
They may be harsh or cold, but they rarely kill innocent people.
As for those who offended them... that was out of the question. Even if they were righteous cultivators, they would still take action if their dignity was offended. It was impossible to be too harsh on them.
Cheng Hui also knew very well what kind of character the demon cultivators were, so he did not delve into those things, but just greeted them with a smile.
Anyway, he will have limited opportunities to interact with these people in the future, so he doesn't have to enforce justice today.
This ceremony was not only the wedding of the two, but also the first time that Lin Qingqiu officially met with everyone after his retreat.
Therefore, after the dual cultivation ceremony ended, Lin Qingqiu held another discussion meeting, taking this opportunity to communicate with these great masters of magic cultivation.
As Cheng Hui's man, Lin Qingqiu felt that he had the responsibility to create a good living environment for his wife.
He could have just taken his men away and given up his current identity as the Demon Lord, but Cheng Hui disagreed.
He felt that Lin Qingqiu could manage his territory well while he was still here. If he left, this place might turn into a living hell.
In the demonic world, without a big boss protecting you, life for mortals is not just miserable, it’s basically hell.
There is a saying: Any chaotic order is better than no order.
Besides, the Demon Lord's subordinates managed the territory quite well, and there was even a sense of prosperity.
Although Cheng Hui had never seen it in person, he had read some information and felt that it was a bit of a waste to throw away such a well-developed foundation.
Cheng Hui was secretly ready to go. As a time traveler from China, wouldn't it be a waste of his genes if he didn't get a piece of land to develop infrastructure after traveling through time?
Lin Qingqiu's territory is undoubtedly the best testing ground.
As for the Demonic Way, it's already rotten to the core. No matter what he does, he can't make it worse. Moreover, the Demon Lord is different from the ancient emperors. The emperor's reforms will encounter a lot of resistance. But you are playing pretend to obey and secretly disobey the Demon Lord?
Ha! You probably don't want to live anymore!
