Shen Qingmang also stared at the light in Gu Suihan's hand with curiosity. She only knew that Qiongju had sacrificed herself in front of her two disciples, but she didn't know that she had also made plans for her eldest disciple who was not present.
Gu Suihan's hands were shaking more and more violently, and his voice was hoarse. "Impossible, Master will be fine. She just came to save me. Don't make a fuss. No..."
His expression changed several times before he came to his senses and quickly flew towards Wuya Peak.
When he reached the top of Wuya Peak, he found many people kneeling on the edge of the cliff, crying bitterly, including his two foolish junior brothers and sisters.
"Where is Master? Where did Master go? What happened?" He grabbed Hao Xin's collar and pulled him up, asking with gritted teeth.
Hao Xin was sobbing until he was out of breath, and could only repeat "I was wrong" over and over again. Si Rong said in a tearful voice: "Master...she died in battle just like Second Uncle-Master."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The formation I set up is an improved one. There's no way she could break free..." An Yanxiang looked frantic, reaching out to grab the faint light in the air. "Come back, Shen Qingmang, don't scare me!"
"Retreat, retreat!" An outer sect disciple panted as he ran up the hill. "The enemies on the mountain have been repelled, and the rest have been contained by the mountain protection formation. We're safe now."
This should have been good news, but no one present was happy. Qi Xiao's apprentice also burst into tears. Huaining untied the whip from his waist and pointed a shaking finger at An Yanxiang. "Did you do this? You, return my master to me!"
"Return?" An Yanxiang slowly turned around. "I'll return your master, but who will return my sister? Hao Xin, didn't I ask you to keep an eye on her? You can't even do this little thing. You should die with her!"
As he stretched out his hand to cast a spell, Gu Sui Han swung his lightsaber and cut his wrist directly.
"I think it's you who deserves to die."
An Yanxiang held her wrist, bent down to sniff, and actually laughed. "I know Qingmang's scent. She hasn't left, she's just playing hide-and-seek with me. Qingmang, Qingmang, do you remember me telling you why I chose the Taoist name 'Fengchun'? Because I met you. Don't hide anymore, I'm going to find you right now."
After saying that, he jumped off the cliff and turned into ashes under the lingering spiritual energy of Qiongju.
There was a deathly silence on the cliff. After a while, Hao Xin discovered the peak master's order on Gu Sui Han's waist and suddenly realized something.
"So Master finally chose you, Big Brother. I'm unworthy. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."
Si Rong hugged his thighs and cried, "Please, Senior Brother, please spare Axin. We have already lost our Master, and we cannot lose our Junior Brother again!"
"You two are useless." Gu Suihan kicked Si Rong away and walked towards the cliff. Everyone shouted his name in panic and tried to rush over to stop him, but they were bounced away before they could get close.
Only Shen Qingmang clung to his shoulders, whispering in his ear, "Stop doing stupid things and be a good Peak Master! When did I ever teach you to use death to escape problems? That's clearly a cowardly act!"
"Master." Gu Suihan smiled. "Of course I'm not a coward."
Shen Qingmang was stunned. "Can you hear me?"
"Master, are you worried about your disciple? I miss you too. It must have been very painful when you jumped."
"It hurts so much, so don't jump! It's not worth it, really!" Shen Qingmang only hated that he couldn't transform into a physical body and pull him back.
"Master, don't worry. I won't let you feel pain again. Next time, it's my turn to protect you."
"What do you mean?" Shen Qingmang had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Master, you don't understand the 'Heart of Heaven and Earth', right? You must not know that a cultivator who possesses the 'Heart of Heaven and Earth' can reverse the power of heaven and earth."
"What's the price?" Shen Qingmang immediately asked, "What price are you going to pay? Calm down."
"I'm calm. Compared to losing my Master, any price is too small."
"No, no, no, you are still young. Listen to me, Sui Han..." Shen Qingmang's voice trembled as he struggled to find his sanity.
Gu Suihan interrupted her: "Master, I said I wanted to learn the secrets of the Seven Emotions Dye with you. Now that I have entered the Seven Emotions Dye realm, do you understand my intentions?"
"What... Seven Emotions, Dye..." Shen Qingmang felt confused.
"My disciple has lived a lonely life, without love or hate. It was Master who endowed me with such intense feelings of love and hate. I love your care and tolerance for me, but I hate you for abandoning me for someone else. Please don't let me down in the next life. I only have this last life left."
After saying that, Gu Sui Han fell backwards and plunged into the endless clouds and mist. Shen Qingmang screamed his name and wanted to reach out to pull him, but he saw him getting farther and farther away from him.
She recalled a lot in an instant.
Gu Sui Han’s frail body.
The master did not remind her again that the other party was a good seedling with a heart for heaven and earth.
She took it for granted that he was blessed by the Heart of Heaven and Earth and neglected to take good care of him.
And, not long after they met, he allowed her to enter his spiritual home.
Only those who are closest and dearest to you can enter your spiritual home.
His dearest and most beloved ones.
Qiongju.
"Why...why...why do you love her?"
"If you love me, I won't leave without saying goodbye. I won't often ignore you, I won't ignore your efforts, and I won't make decisions arbitrarily."
"I will not leave you alone to wander the world. If I am destined to sacrifice myself for the world, I will first soothe all your complaints and resentment."
"You must not know what I was thinking when you said you liked me. I tried to convince myself that your affection was an illusion, but I still couldn't remain completely indifferent. I couldn't contain my joy, and yet I felt despicable for such an inappropriate joy. I cursed myself countless times and pretended to be righteous."
"You're right. I always try to sugarcoat things. I hate accidents and I'm afraid things will get out of my control. I'm obviously your teacher, but I'm not as open with my feelings as you are."
"I finally understand. It turns out that I like you. It turns out that a sense of security and unconditional trust are already love."
"But it's not me you like. What should I do? Can I give her back to you?"
“If only this wasn’t stolen love.”
"If I open my eyes again, I'll still be me, and you'll still be you. Then, please never again project your misplaced love on me, never again sacrifice for me, and never treat me well. I can't afford your deep affection. All I can do is prevent this from happening. We can be strangers, enemies, or any other kind of relationship in this world, but not lovers."
