"Master! Green Light!"
Gu Sui Han's voice completely changed tone. The spiritual energy in Shen Qingmang's body escaped, and some of it penetrated into his body. He was trembling all over.
"No! Don't give it to me anymore, please!" He was in a panic, trying to wipe away the blood and block the escaping spiritual energy. However, Shen Qingmang felt as if a drill was drilling into his skull. He couldn't move his body and couldn't even hear what he was saying.
Tears welled up in Gu Suihan's eyes. Only then did he remember to use the wood spirit to heal her wounds. He said in a trembling voice, "Winter is cold and the ground cracks, spring is warm and grass and trees flourish."
"Meeting...Meeting the Green Emperor, wishing to bring back spring, he will first clear the dust from the road with plum blossoms."
"I planted a white flower tree with my own hands, and after planting it, I hope spring will come."
With the blessing of spiritual words one after another, Shen Qingmang's headache gradually subsided and he was finally able to speak.
"Pass the order down. Seal off Wuya Peak. No insects, ants, birds, or beasts are allowed to leave."
"Yes... I asked Si Rong..."
"Go, Sui Han." Shen Qingmang grabbed his hand with all his strength. "I only trust you."
The Peak Master's Order was stuffed into Gu Sui Han's hand, tears still flowed from his eyes, and he stared blankly at Shen Qingmang.
"Go quickly!" Shen Qingmang pushed him, and he woke up as if from a dream. He took out a purse with a medicinal scent from his sleeve, handed it to Shen Qingmang, wiped his tears, and walked towards Linyuan Palace.
Shen Qingmang opened his purse and saw a few round pills. He put one in his mouth and his mind gradually became clear.
Li Shutong deceived her, and deliberately deceived her for ten years. He used his identity as a fellow villager to gain her trust and used his straightforward personality to numb her vigilance.
Letting a wolf into the house and raising a tiger to cause trouble... It turned out that the one who made the big mistake was not Hao Xin, not An Yanxiang, but herself.
Shen Qingmang reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered.
This creator wasn't exactly glamorous either, lingering on for ten years before finally being revived by the power of her spiritual palace. Now, no one knows where she's hiding. The world is so vast, how could we possibly worry about not finding her?
However, she used the excuse of encountering an enemy to search for three days and three nights, scouring the entire Wuya Peak, but could find no trace of Li Shutong. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. This left only two possibilities: first, her own magic was so powerful that she could teleport thousands of miles away in an instant. Second, she still had no physical form and had turned to find her next host.
No matter which one it was, it was a difficult matter for Shen Qingmang. She couldn't expand the search area to the entire cultivation world, nor could she break into everyone's spiritual palace to search once.
And she no longer has the energy and ability to do so.
Li Shutong tore her spiritual palace apart, and her soul was damaged and she had to rest. Her master and senior brothers were all terrified. Even her third senior sister rushed back from afar after hearing the news. She lied to them and said that she had a demon in her heart and almost went astray. Everyone was shocked that she had a demon in her heart, and only Gu Sui Han thought he understood the truth of the matter.
"What are you kneeling here for? Get up quickly." Shen Qingmang was lying on the bed, looking at his eldest disciple kneeling on the ground, feeling a headache.
"It's all my fault. It was my mention of my past life that triggered the inner demons of my master. I deserve to die!"
"What is this all about? What does it have to do with you?" Shen Qingmang laughed. "It's not the first day I've heard about my past life experiences."
Wouldn't Li Shutong have escaped without Gu Suihan's words? She just happened to find an excuse to escape and at the same time, she wanted to alienate the master and disciple once again.
Based on Li Shutong's degree of disgust towards Gu Suihan, Shen Qingmang boldly guessed that Li Shutong's weakening power was related to Gu Suihan's rebirth. She had always wanted to portray her eldest disciple as a villain, but now it has been proved that the other party is not a suspect.
"Sui Han." Shen Qingmang waved to him.
Gu Suihan crawled forward on his knees and came to her bedside.
She patted his shoulder gently. "Don't blame yourself. I still have something else to get rid of you."
"Master, please give me your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"My soul has been damaged, and I must remain in seclusion to fully recover. During this time, you will be in charge of taking care of Ah Rong and Ah Xin. As for your outer disciples, please also guide their studies."
"Okay. Master, is there anything else you would like to ask?"
Shen Qingmang thought for a moment, his expression growing serious. "You know what happened in your past life. Whenever you encounter critical moments, you must find a way to prevent them. Don't let this life end up like the past!"
Li Shutong keeps emphasizing the plot's main line. If the story unfolds the same as the original, wouldn't she, as the author, have greater control? Now that she's escaped, she'll surely spare no effort to restore the plot to its original state.
"Disciple understands." Gu Suihan reached out and gently grasped Shen Qingmang's outstretched right hand, tucking it back into the quilt. "Master, take care of yourself. Don't worry about the rest. I'll take care of everything."
"I'll be out of seclusion as soon as possible. I won't trouble you for too long. I'll reward you well then." Shen Qingmang smiled at him. "I'm glad you're here, Sui Han."
Gu Suihan also laughed. "I should say this, Master. I'm glad you're back."
After hearing this, Shen Qingmang's smile froze and he felt a little depressed.
Qiongju will never come back, and the person that Gu Suihan is no longer with is no longer there. He is just an imposter, stealing the kindness given by others.
When did she become so shameful?
Shen Qingmang sat up from the bed. "Sui Han, if you feel too tired, you can ask Ah Rong and Ah Xin to help teach the outer sect disciples and sisters. Ah Rong really enjoys teaching others, and Ah Xin has become much more stable in the past two years."
"Master, are you worried about me?"
"Of course not. I'm just worried that the burden will be too heavy for you."
"I don't think it's heavy. These are not even one thousandth of what Master has done for us."
"I'm not that great, Sui Han." Shen Qingmang swallowed his bitterness and showed him his warmest expression. "Thank you for your hard work. Go. I'm going into seclusion."
"Okay, I will help Master protect the sect."
Shen Qingmang watched him leave, pasted a few talismans on the front and back doors, and sat on the cushion in the middle.
She thought that it would not take long to repair her soul, so she did not explain anything to Hao Xin Si Rong. She closed her eyes and let her consciousness sink into her spirit palace.
Li Shutong's fireworks display had left the Spiritual Palace in ruins. A fierce wind howled, and cracks appeared on the ground. Shen Qingmang summoned her spiritual energy, repairing them bit by bit. Her chaotic memories drifted like dandelions, and she had to sort them out in a timely manner to stabilize her mind.
She put aside those fragments of memory that hurt her the most, intending to deal with them last. However, there were burn marks on their edges, and when they were finally filled in her memory, they could not be completely healed.
Fortunately, this did not affect the overall situation. Shen Qingmang patted the dust in his hands and prepared to leave the Lingfu.
