Xue Qing was finally persuaded by Chen Yang. She sighed softly. The thousand years of waiting and searching had exhausted her physically and mentally. Now, Chen Yang's promise was the most precious treasure in the world to her.

"Where's our first stop?"

Xue Qing asked, with a barely perceptible hint of anticipation in her tone, as if she was a little girl who had just entered the world and was full of curiosity about the journey that was about to begin.

"How about the Qinglian Holy Land we mentioned earlier?"

A gentle smile appeared on Chen Yang's lips.

"That place is considered the largest gathering place for spiritual medicines in the entire Southern Region. You will definitely find the spiritual medicine you need there."

"And I can also see what my half-apprentice has become."

"Blue Lotus Holy Land..."

Xue Qing repeated the name in a low voice, not caring at all.

After all, she had heard from Chen Yang before that the leader of the Qinglian Holy Land had been succeeded by a junior.

She didn't have to worry about it, because after she went there, she was forcibly taken away by that old weirdo Ni Qing and returned to her father.

"Alright, let's go to the Qinglian Holy Land."

After saying that, she stood up and straightened her slightly messy dress. The habit she had developed over thousands of years allowed her to maintain an elegant posture even in the cave.

"Let's go. Since you've decided to leave, tell Qingge about it."

"She's been with us in these mountains for several days. I guess she's anxious to go home."

…

Not long after the two walked out of the cave, they saw a graceful figure riding a sword coming. It was Li Qingge.

"Chen Yang, Senior Xue Qing, where are you going?"

Li Qingge saw the two of them walking side by side, and even though he was used to it, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

But she won't say anything now.

She had seen Chen Yang's actions over the past two days, and it hurt Xue Qing to the core.

Let alone the medicinal food cooked every day, it is no exaggeration to say that the remaining residues can be used to refine another batch of pills!

The first time, Li Qingge thought it was a bit extravagant for Chen Yang to use demon cores to refine medicinal food, but he got used to it in the next two days.

A demon core at the Golden Core level?

Haha, that's it...

And the most important thing is that Xue Qing has also taught me a lot in the past two days.

Although the two of them did not have the formal relationship of master and disciple, they were indeed master and disciple in reality.

Let her, the eldest daughter of the Li family, compete with her own master for a man?

Let’s just forget it…

Chen Yang patted Li Qingge's shoulder gently and said softly, "Qingge, we are planning to leave here."

"Leave?" Li Qingge was stunned for a moment. Although he had expected it in his heart, he still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss when he heard Chen Yang say it in person.

Xue Qing, who was standing by, saw Li Qingge's expression and felt a slight movement in her heart. It seemed that this little girl had truly fallen in love with Chen Yang.

However, she didn't say much, just nodded lightly.

"Well, we plan to go to the mainland to take a look." Chen Yang continued, with a hint of anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

He did not say that he was going to the Qinglian Holy Land.

After all, in the past two days, he has gained a clearer understanding of his own realm.

At his current foundation-building stage, if he kept talking about going to the holy land or something, it would indeed make others think too much.

"Well, it would be good for you to go out and gain some experience."

Li Qingge forced a smile, but he couldn't hide the loneliness in his tone.

"Qingge, you don't have to worry about us. With Xueqing and I's strength, there's no place in this world that we can't go to."

Seeing Li Qingge's somewhat unnatural expression, Chen Yang thought that the other party was worried about their safety. He smiled slightly and said confidently.

"Yeah." Li Qingge nodded slightly, but couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

"Yes, yes, you are the best. You are invincible."

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Qingge did not say it out loud. He just followed Chen Yang and Xue Qing silently and walked out of the cave.

The three of them walked down along the secret passage they came from.

Li Qingge was walking at the back, looking at Chen Yang and Xue Qing walking side by side in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that there was always an insurmountable gap between her and Chen Yang.

"Never mind, let it be. At least, I still have some good memories."

Li Qingge said to himself silently in his heart.

With Xue Qing, the master of the formation, leading the way, the distance of thousands of feet was rapidly shortened.

In just an incense stick of time, the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Miss Qingge, we each have our own paths, and we have to part ways here."

"See you again if we're lucky."

Chen Yang bowed to Li Qingge with a bright smile on his handsome face. Xue Qing beside him also nodded slightly as a farewell.

Li Qingge forced a smile and said softly, "Take care, both of you. See you later."

After saying that, she turned around and walked down the mountain.

Looking at Li Qingge's departing back, Chen Yang felt a little reluctant.

After spending these few days with Li Qingge, he could also feel the other party's friendship towards him.

It’s a pity that Xue Qing is the only one in his heart.

"Let's go too." Chen Yang turned to look at Xue Qing and said softly.

Xue Qing nodded gently, and the two walked side by side towards the distance.

However, what they didn't know was that Li Qingge behind them stopped at this moment.

She turned around slowly and looked at the two figures walking away, with tears in her eyes.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a strong sense of unease, as if something important was slipping away from her.

She wanted to catch up, wanted to keep the two figures by her side, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't take a step.

“Why…why is this happening…”

Li Qingge bit her lips tightly, letting the tears blur her eyes.

She didn't understand why things turned out like this.

They were getting along very well just a few days ago, why did they suddenly have to separate?

Could it be... could it be that he really has no feelings for me at all?

Thinking of this, Li Qingge felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if someone had cut off a piece of his flesh.

She could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart, so she squatted down, buried her head in her arms, and sobbed softly.

"Miss Qingge?"

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in my ears.

Li Qingge raised his head and saw Chen Yang coming back, looking at him with concern.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Yang asked.

Seeing Chen Yang coming back, Li Qingge was delighted, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Nothing... nothing..." Li Qingge shook his head and wanted to stand up, but suddenly felt dizzy and his body was shaking.

"careful!"

Chen Yang was quick to support Li Qingge and asked with concern, "Are you really okay?"
