Han Bingqing no longer likes being treated as the Crown Princess, and Qin Yingzhong has already written her a letter of divorce.
She is now vying for power with Qin Yingzhong as the leader of the Baiyu Sect.
Therefore, it is quite appropriate for Yue Qingling to address her as the sect leader.
Han Bingqing smiled and said, "I came to visit a friend, catch up, and see how you're doing here."
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingling felt something was off. Did he come to see her alone just to catch up?
They had only met once, in the Sacred Land of the Extreme Path, and Han Bingqing was a germaphobe, so he didn't even get a cup of tea.
What is there to reminisce about?
But he still said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader Han."
"Our Northern Continent is not as prosperous as the Eastern Continent, and the embassy serves simple meals. We must have been poorly received these days."
"Is Lord Yue accustomed to his food, clothing, and daily necessities?"
"I don't have many requirements for these things, I feel fine."
"That's good. If there's anything inconvenient, just let me know."
Han Bingqing spoke calmly, making small talk.
She chatted idly in the reception room, sometimes talking about the trials of the Holy Land of the Extreme Path, and sometimes about her struggles over the past year.
Yue Qingling listened patiently, but in the end she still couldn't figure out the main point.
Han Bingqing seems to genuinely consider him a friend.
After rambling on for a while, she got up apologetically to take her leave.
But Yue Qingling couldn't hold back any longer. He said somewhat impatiently, "Sect Leader Han, please wait."
Han Bingqing blinked and asked, "Do you need any help?"
Yue Qingling said, "Are you really here to catch up? Don't you have anything else to say?"
Han Bingqing stared at him blankly, then blushed slightly.
She lowered her head and murmured, "I...I don't know how to say it."
Yue Qingling said solemnly, "I don't understand your struggles, nor do I want to get involved in your national and family affairs."
But, does no one in your Northern Continent really care about Empress Ziqing's dying words?
Han Bingqing was caught off guard by his direct questioning, her foxy face flushing red and then turning pale.
She thought Yue Qingling wanted her to confess her feelings.
But who knew that what he was talking about was actually important.
What a blockhead!
Everyone says he's a womanizer and a philanderer, so why doesn't he realize it?
Han Bingqing was somewhat puzzled.
She truly couldn't fathom how Yue Qingling had managed to seduce the Empress of Dongzhou.
She composed herself and slowly said, "If everyone is moving forward together, how could I possibly disregard the overall situation?"
But now, any force that tries to divert its attention will immediately be attacked by other forces.
Just like in a race, whoever gets ahead will be betrayed by the people behind.
So... there's really nothing I can do."
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingling laughed in anger: "You're afraid of attacking each other, but once the invaders appear, they'll be able to take you all out."
Han Bingqing wasn't angry. Instead, she said calmly, "We haven't seen the invaders, and we in the Northern Continent don't think the invaders are that powerful."
They're just a bunch of low-level creatures, not worth mentioning.
"What did you say? Not worth mentioning?"
So the Dark Ages were something we made up, right?
Yue Qingling was truly speechless.
Are all the people of the North Continent living such happy lives?
For a fleeting moment, he really wanted to advise Di Zhengchen and Guo Feng to just leave.
The cultivators from the Northern Continent don't need our help.
Let the intruders do their job properly.
It's high intensity, right? Let's see if it's really not worth mentioning.
"Lord Yue, I still believe what you say, but... others may not."
Han Bingqing sighed.
She didn't linger; after saying all that, she got up to take her leave.
Yue Qingling paced back and forth in the reception room, feeling frustrated.
Long Qilan was also indignant. She complained, "So the people of Beizhou think we're making a mountain out of a molehill? No wonder the invaders chose to appear here. With this level of attention, wouldn't they have just crushed the Fire Phoenix Kingdom?"
"It's not even making a mountain out of a molehill; they probably think we're here to seize power!"
Yue Qingling was furious and complained loudly.
He finally understood Guo Feng's predicament here.
That's so frustrating.
You might as well go play chess.
But despite his anger, he couldn't think of any good solutions.
But just when he was at his wit's end, a servant came in to report.
"Lord Yue, the elder of Baiyu Sect requests an audience."
Yue Qingling was taken aback. Confused, he asked, "Elder Baiyu Sect? I don't know him either."
What's his name? "
The servant replied, "She is a young female elder who did not give her name."
Yue Qingling glanced at Long Qilan with a wry smile, while the latter looked at him sourly and said, "I really didn't expect that our junior brother Lingyue would have an old flame in the Northern Continent."
Yue Qingling said, "Don't talk nonsense, I've never been to Beizhou."
He turned to the servant and said, "Let her in."
As they were talking, a charming and adorable young girl walked in.
She wore a gray robe, the style of which was a bit too large, making her look even more petite and delicate.
She stepped in front of Yue Qingling and said with a smile, "Master, it's been a long time."
When Yue Qingling saw the person who came, his eyes lit up instantly. Without saying a word, he hugged the person tightly.
He was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "You rebellious disciple, what are you doing here? I didn't see you when I returned to Dongzhou, and I thought you had committed suicide."
The visitor was none other than Su Muxue, who had left from Dongzhou.
She's become even more adorable after more than a year.
Hearing Yue Qingling's words, she wrinkled her nose and said, "You stinky master, are you hoping I'll commit suicide? I won't die! Hehehe."
Long Qilan also came over with a smile to greet her: "Mu Xue, we were so worried about you leaving."
Su Muxue replied with a smile, "Sister Long, don't worry about me. It was all my idea that my stinky master was able to escape, hahaha."
She was so proud of herself that she wanted to stand up and laugh out loud.
Yue Qingling let go of Su Muxue and pulled her to her seat, reluctant to let go of her hand.
He asked excitedly, "Xue'er, what brings you here? Tell your teacher about it."
In fact, it was Su Muxue's suggestion that enabled him to escape from Dongzhou.
Moreover, he didn't tell Su Muxue about his plan to fake his death, because he was really worried that Su Muxue might do something rash.
Su Muxue said excitedly, "Actually, when Sister Lin said that you were beaten to death by Leng Feiran, I didn't believe it at all."
"With my master's shameless nature, if he were really in danger, wouldn't he kneel down and beg for mercy, licking my shoes?"
Yue Qingling immediately and irritably let go of her hand.
How could I be so despicable in the mouth of this treacherous disciple?
Su Muxue quickly grabbed him and said with a forced smile, "I was just joking. What I meant was that you, Master, certainly won't die so easily."
