After Gu Qingze said goodbye to Chen Mengli, he felt a little depressed. He knew that sooner or later he would have to learn to say goodbye. After all, facing separation is one of the compulsory courses in life.
But he has always been unwilling to face the impending sadness and deliberately avoided thinking about it.
In his original world, due to the lack of the company of relatives, family warmth, and even particularly close friends, his relationships with others always maintained a just right distance.
Therefore, separation was just a vague and distant concept to him, but now...
Gu Qingze sighed deeply, and decided to face it...
After all, escape is not the solution. The only right way is to face it bravely.
The only thing that comforted him was that he didn't have to experience separation from Ling Xiao. After Ling Xiao came back this time, they could be together forever...
Thinking of this, Gu Qingze's mood seemed to be relieved a little, although the heaviness still lingered.
In Qingyun Sect, Gu Qingze knew very few people. Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan were not in the sect, but he had already visited Chen Mengli.
At this moment, the figure of another person suddenly emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but speculate secretly, wondering how the other person was doing and whether his progress in resurrecting his lover was going smoothly?
This sudden thought aroused his curiosity and concern.
Gu Qingze thought, why not go and visit him? After all, among these few acquaintances, he is one worth seeing...
Thinking of this, Gu Qingze flew on his sword to the top of the mountain where Luo Shan Bingling used to be.
He stood on the empty mountain peak. All around him was quiet except for the sound of wind blowing through the treetops, which was in stark contrast to the bustling and highly anticipated scene five hundred years ago.
He didn't expect that this place would become so deserted, as if it had been forgotten by time. In the deserted environment, it seemed particularly lonely.
He looked around and confirmed that Luo Shan Bingling was indeed not there, so he decided to return the same way.
On his way back, he met a disciple passing by. He had an idea and decided to go up and ask about the situation.
However, as soon as he mentioned Luo Shan Bingling's name, the disciple's face turned pale instantly, as if he had heard something horrible, and turned around and wanted to run away.
Gu Qingze quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes, but then realized that this action might be inappropriate, so he quickly let go and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother, I was a little abrupt, but I didn't mean to offend you. I just really didn't understand."
"Over the years, I've been training outside, so I don't really understand what's been going on in the sect recently. So... I hope my junior brother can help me clear up my confusion."
After hearing Gu Qingze's explanation, the disciple's expression eased slightly and he said, "So that's how it is. I thought Brother was deliberately teasing me."
"But, Senior Brother, you have been training for too long. You don't even know about the great event that shook the sect three hundred years ago."
Gu Qingze felt a little emotional. Indeed, he had been training for too long and had missed too many things.
He asked earnestly, "Brother, can you tell me now what happened?"
The disciple made exaggerated gestures: "Of course, Senior Brother, it is my great honor to tell you."
Gu Qingze smiled politely.
When you are not sure how to respond, it is always a good idea to smile. Of course, this assumes that the other person is talking about a relatively light-hearted or positive topic.
After all, if the other person is immersed in negative emotions such as sadness or anger, laughing at this time may be misunderstood as gloating or sarcasm, which is obviously inappropriate.
The disciple suddenly leaned closer to him and said in a very low, mysterious voice, "Actually... Bing Ling... is that person. Three hundred years ago, during the sect competition, she suddenly became possessed."
Gu Qingze was shocked when he heard this, "Becoming possessed by a demon?"
But he quickly calmed down and asked, "I wonder if you could elaborate on the signs of his demonic possession, such as whether he killed other disciples, or whether any other disciples were affected and injured?"
"No, I didn't. The reason why I said she was possessed was because she suddenly became upset halfway through the competition and said she wanted to leave..."
"Can't we just give up and surrender?"
The disciple shook his head: "Normally, she could have given up and surrendered, but the circumstances of that sect competition were special..."
"But because elders from other sects came to observe, and Fairy Bingling was the Sect Master's only direct disciple, her performance, to some extent, represented the Sect Master's reputation. Therefore, her application for waiver was rejected."
"After being rejected... she directly broke through the protective barrier set up to prevent the other onlookers from being harmed. During that time, she also used the magic skills of the demon clan. Isn't that a case of going astray?"
Gu Qingze looked at him and subconsciously retorted, "Using the magic skills of the demon clan doesn't necessarily mean you're going astray, right?"
"I remember that compared to other sects, our sect is not completely opposed to demonic techniques. ...Isn't Senior Brother Murong an example?"
The disciple shook his head and lowered his voice, "Of course it's different. Senior Brother, think about it carefully. Although we have Senior Murong as a precedent in Qingyun Sect, he is only an honorary elder."
"And... Fairy Bingling, not only is she the Sect Master's only personal disciple, she also represents the face of the Qingyun Sect. Using magic in front of other elders would undoubtedly damage the sect's reputation."
