Although Long Qianling was looking at them, his gaze was only fixed on Bai Qingnian.
The way the little fox wields the sword is so beautiful! She loves it!
Bai Qingnian focused intently on dealing with the evil spirits, while also taking care to eliminate any evil spirits that tried to get close to Long Qianling.
Blue sword energy flashed repeatedly in the passage; his water elemental power could only repel the evil spirits, not kill them.
Soon, his spiritual energy was somewhat depleted. Indeed, he had almost exhausted his spiritual energy while fighting the skeleton monster.
Seeing that her little fox was at a disadvantage, Long Qianling glanced at the woman over there who was preoccupied with her own problems.
She scoffed, "With such meager skills, she dares to even think of me, you little fox?"
Long Qianling appeared beside Bai Qingnian in a flash. Bai Qingnian frowned when she saw him suddenly arrive: "What are you doing here? Be careful not to get hurt again."
"What can we do then? I don't want you to get hurt either~" Long Qianling smiled.
Bai Qingnian was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, "You..."
Seeing him staring blankly at her, Long Qianling reached out and took his Li Shui sword.
Long Qianling leaped into the evil spirits, and the blue flames instantly covered the ice-blue sword, as if they were originally one.
Li Shui, carrying blazing blue flames, swung them towards the evil spirits.
The evil spirit let out a miserable scream and was instantly burned to ashes.
Every time Long Qianling swung his sword, the blue light illuminated the entire passage and reflected on Bai Qingnian's face.
Bai Qingnian stared blankly at Long Qianling, who was wielding the Li Shui sword within the evil spirit.
That was his natal sword... but why was it so obedient in her hands?
You should know that he would get angry if anyone other than himself touched his natal sword, but today he actually... let that woman use it.
Moreover, a cultivator's natal weapon can only be used by themselves and their Daoist partner. Could it be that Li Shui has chosen her?
Bai Qingnian was startled by his own thought, his blue eyes fixed on Long Qianling, who was wielding his natal sword with ease.
With Long Qianling joining the group, Baili Qing and the others finally felt a bit more relaxed.
But when Baili Qing saw that she was using Bai Qingnian's natal sword, she was shocked and looked at Bai Qingnian, who was staring at her blankly, in disbelief.
How could this be? How could she use Yueci's natal sword?
Could it be that they've already... become Daoist partners? Impossible! Yueci said they've only just met, so it's impossible for them to have already become Daoist partners!
After playing with Bai Qingnian's sword for a while, Long Qianling got tired of it and, looking at the still densely packed evil spirits, became too lazy to kill them one by one.
He stopped what he was doing and plunged the water-repellent stick into the ground.
With a slight lift of her hand, blue flames instantly spread from beneath her feet, burning towards the evil spirits with earth-shattering power.
In just a moment, the evil spirit was burned to ashes, and sunlight shone in from a cave not far away, which was clearly the exit.
"It's the exit! Great! We can finally get out!"
"Yeah, we've finally gotten out of this awful place!"
The disciples of the Beidou Sect cheered and excitedly ran towards the exit.
After a while, only Long Qianling, Bai Qingnian, and Baili Qing remained in the passage.
Long Qianling pulled the sword from the ground, turned around and slowly walked to Bai Qingnian, handing the sword to him.
Bai Qingnian took the sword, looked up at her, and said, "You..."
Long Qianling smiled slightly. Seeing him looking at her like that, she instinctively reached out and patted his head.
Long Qianling was stunned for a moment.
Bai Qingnian was also taken aback.
Only Baili Qing, who was watching them from the side, stared displeasedly at Long Qianling's hand that was placed on Bai Qingnian's head.
Long Qianling coughed lightly, withdrew her hand, and gave him a smile, "Until we meet again, Little Immortal Lord~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Qianling disappeared from Bai Qingnian's sight.
"Wait..." Bai Qingnian reached out to grab her, but grasped only empty air.
Why do I feel inexplicably lost after she left?
Bai Qingnian looked at the Li Shui in his hand and unconsciously recalled her last words.
Will he and she really see each other again?
"Moon Compassion"
Baili Qing called softly and walked to Bai Qingnian's side.
"Yue Ci, her origins are unknown, and her strength is so high, she's probably not a good person..."
Bai Qingnian frowned. "Senior Sister Baili, she just saved everyone, how could she be a bad person?"
Baili Qing frowned. "But her origins are unknown, her behavior is strange, and she's too intimate with you. She must have something on her mind."
The fact that he acted this way towards Yueci on their first meeting suggests he had ulterior motives, and what he really wanted was... Yueci!
Bai Qingnian gripped his sword tighter, his voice turning colder, "She has saved us many times. I believe she has no ill intentions. And what could she possibly want? Our weakness?"
When Bai Qingnian heard her speak ill of Long Qianling, a surge of anger inexplicably rose within her.
Baili Qing looked at the silver-haired man in front of her, her heart filled with jealousy. "Yue Ci, when did you become so trusting of others? She only helped out casually. How do you know if she had any ill intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingnian's expression turned cold. "Senior Sister Baili, I trust my own eyes." After saying that, she walked towards the cave entrance.
Baili Qing bit her lip, watching his departing figure. As he walked further and further away, a deep sadness filled her heart. She had thought that after she said those words, he would stay away from that woman, but to her surprise, he remained unmoved.
Meanwhile, Long Qianling hadn't actually left; she concealed herself and stood aside, listening to their conversation.
A playful smile curled at the corner of her lips. She thought to herself that Baili Qing was quite interesting, but since she dared to slander her, she would have to teach her a lesson in the future.
As for her little fox, it was still as innocent and adorable as ever. Long Qianling glanced at Baili Qing, whose face was pale, with her red eyes, and then disappeared in a streak of light.
After Bai Qingnian saw that the matter inside the secret realm had been resolved, he was still angry with Baili Qing, so he left the secret realm without saying goodbye.
He had to hurry back; his little apprentice was waiting for him.
When Baili Qing came out, she saw that Bai Qingnian was no longer there, so she quickly asked the disciples of their Beidou Sect.
So he left a long time ago...
Baili Qing felt a pang of bitterness in her heart once again.
But since things had come to this, she could only lead her disciples back to the sect.
Bai Qingnian rushed back to Fangling City. As soon as he stepped into the city lord's mansion, he saw his little apprentice running towards him from a distance.
"Master, you're finally back~"
Bai Qingnian quickly squatted down and caught her.
"Ah Ling."
Long Qianling threw herself into his arms and nuzzled him contentedly with her head.
"Master, I miss you so much..."
