In a flash, Gu Qingze was completely swallowed up by the water, and his figure completely disappeared from his sight.
After witnessing him completely disappear, Murong Jin did not stay there and wait as he did before, but took a deep look at the deep black water, and then planned to leave this place.
That adult had clearly instructed that he only needed to ensure that Gu Qingze entered the Netherworld Spring, and as for... the rest of the matters, he didn't need to worry about them.
Now that his mission has been successfully accomplished, there is no need to stay here any longer.
Besides, he knew that there was no way he could pass the Netherworld Spring, and he also had no hope for Gu Qingze.
Maybe he was waiting here, and Gu Qingze turned into some terrible vengeful spirit, and then floated up and killed him... Even if Gu Qingze had a one in ten thousand chance of coming back alive, he would most likely chase him down out of resentment the first time he saw him.
There's a high chance he'll die here anyway...his mission has been completed, so it's better for him to leave as soon as possible.
Besides... he didn't want to stay in the Nether Spring (such a dangerous place) for a long time, and if he stayed here for many years, what if something unexpected happened... Therefore, leaving was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
Murong Jin thought this in his mind and immediately put it into action. He flew on his sword and quickly left the underworld (ghost world) and returned to Qingyun Sect.
........
Qingyun Sect——
As soon as Murong Jin returned, he went straight to Cangjian Peak.
After going through all kinds of twists and turns, the only wish in his mind was to see the person he loved - Ye Qiu Shuang.
He didn't dare to hope for a hug from her, but just a glance at her from afar would make him satisfied, enough to soothe the waves in his heart.
Ye Qiu Shuang was usually always on the move and extremely busy, but this time, as if it was fate, when Murong Jin came to Cangjian Peak, she happened not to have traveled far and was practicing sword on the peak.
"Sister." The moment Murong Jin's eyes met Ye Qiu Shuang, he couldn't help but reveal a deep attachment.
However, Ye Qiu Shuang was concentrating on the sword in her hand and did not show any fluctuation at his arrival. Obviously, she was not moved by this deep affection.
Murong Jin was not discouraged by this. He leaned casually on a big rock beside him and watched Ye Qiu Shuang practicing sword in a leisurely manner.
The sunlight penetrated the thin clouds, casting a faint golden glow on her figure, making her swordsmanship more elegant and powerful. An unprecedented tranquility surged in Murong Jin's heart.
Ye Qiu Shuang's swordsmanship is clean and neat. Every swing of the sword tip is accompanied by a slight sound of breaking wind, demonstrating her profound internal strength and superb swordsmanship.
When she finished practicing a set of sword techniques, she ended with a beautiful sword flower, then sheathed the sword and turned to face Murong Jin, her face still expressionless.
"You're back." Her voice was as cold as ice.
Murong Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm back, and as soon as I got back I wanted to come see my sister."
Ye Qiu Shuang did not respond to his warm words. Her eyes swept around Murong Jin, but she did not see the figure she wanted to see.
"Where is my apprentice? Since you are back, why didn't he return with you?"
"He..." Murong Jin chuckled, "He has some things to take care of...very important things. I believe he might be back soon."
Ye Qiu Shuang obviously didn't believe his words. She suddenly drew her sword and pointed it at Murong Jin, "Murong Jin, you lied to me. You promised me that you would bring my apprentice back safely."
Murong Jin faced her questioning with a smile: "Sister, don't be angry, it's just a small accident."
"I'm not angry." Ye Qiu Shuang said lightly. She was indeed not angry, but she drew her sword because Murong Jin failed to keep his promise.
"I know." Murong Jin's smile remained unchanged. "How could Sister be angry over such a trivial matter?"
"Don't interrupt, tell me quickly, where is my apprentice?" Ye Qiu Shuang asked seriously.
Murong Jin replied in a relaxed tone: "Didn't I tell my sister? It was just a small accident. Maybe he will come back soon."
Ye Qiu Shuang stared at him closely, "Do you think I will believe it?"
Under Ye Qiushuang's sharp gaze, Murong Jin quickly gave in. "Okay, okay, it wasn't an accident. This was something I had planned."
"But, sister, you have to believe me. I only knew part of it before. I didn't know we would end up going to...that kind of place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have promised you that."
"But... this is something that is bound to happen. It just requires me to push it forward and make it... develop more smoothly."
Ye Qiu Shuang did not respond directly to his words, but asked in a deep voice: "Then let me ask you, my apprentice...can he come back?"
Murong Jin slowly shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Sorry, I can't make such a guarantee."
"That place...even for me, going in would be a near-death experience...I don't want to continue deceiving my sister. Perhaps...he has already met with an accident."
After hearing this, Ye Qiu Shuang fell into a long silence, his mind in a tizzy, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Murong Jin couldn't help but panic: "No matter what, the facts are in front of me. I did deceive my sister and did not fulfill my promise to you."
"Since I'm the one who broke the promise, sister should punish me. Whether it's beating me, scolding me, or... killing me directly, it doesn't matter."
"Anyway...my life belongs to you."
"But... sister, please don't ignore me, at least... give me some response, okay?"
After a while, Ye Qiu Shuang seemed to come to her senses. She sheathed her sword, turned around, and left the place resolutely, as if she didn't want to look at him again.
Before leaving, she said coldly, "Go away."
Murong Jin was suddenly confused. He was not afraid that Ye Qiu Shuang would take any action against him, but he was afraid that she would remain indifferent to him.
Ye Qiushuang's indifference at this moment made him recall the scene when they first met after she practiced the ruthless way...
However, he has always been able to accurately grasp the true intention in Ye Qiu Shuang's words.
When he was sure that Ye Qiu Shuang really wanted him to leave, although he was panicked and helpless, he obediently obeyed her wishes and turned to leave.
As for Ye Qiu Shuang, she actually didn't think that much. After learning the information she wanted to know, she had no intention of listening to Murong Jin's other words, so she let him leave.
