Chapter 126 A Different Lake
After hearing this, Shi Qinghan's mouth corners slightly raised and a sneer arose in his heart.
Just now, a hint of obscure light flashed in the eyes of the male cultivator. Although it was short and fleeting, it still could not escape his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Obviously, there must be some unknown conspiracy and calculation behind the fact that his fifth uncle suddenly invited him back to the Shi family to attend the wedding.
You have to know that the bride is Shi Qinghan's ex-fiancée in person, and they even exchanged wedding invitations.
Although the groom was replaced, he did not personally cancel the engagement or accept the cancellation of the engagement.
How could he attend the wedding banquet with such an embarrassing identity?! Does the Shi family have no shame? It would be embarrassing to tell others that brothers change wives, right?
Faced with the sudden invitation from his fifth uncle, Shi Qinghan was not angry about his fiancée's betrayal, which made Shi Qinghan's fifth uncle feel a little strange. Could it be that his nephew didn't care?
"Qinghan, don't bear a grudge against the young master. This is entirely for the benefit of the family! I hope you can understand."
"It's nothing. I don't really like that woman. I cared about her for the sake of my family. When she turned away, I had let her go long ago. What is there for me to hate about a fickle woman?" Shi Qinghan sneered.
"This??? You really don't mind? Are you really willing to attend the wedding banquet?" The man looked incredulous. He originally wanted to see his nephew's face change and see him in pain, but he never expected that his hope would be dashed.
Shi Qinghan felt amused when he saw the other party's frustrated look. Even if he really wanted to go, he would just want to see what tricks the Shi family was planning to play.
Shi Qinghan remained calm, with a gentle and polite smile on his face, and responded: "Oh? Really? If I happen to have some free time by then, maybe I can really go back. But... Fifth Uncle, to be honest, do you really want me to go back in your heart?"
The man called Wu Bo laughed and quickly responded, "Qinghan, you are the direct descendant of our Shi family. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water! How could Wu Bo not look forward to your return? Only when our family is harmonious and united, can this family continue to grow and become stronger, isn't it? By the way, who is this beautiful fairy standing next to you?"
Gu Shihan, who had been standing quietly at the side, smiled and replied softly, "To answer your question, Senior, I and Brother Shi are just ordinary friends. I was able to escape danger a few days ago thanks to Brother Shi's help. For safety reasons, I want to travel with Brother Shi and experience together."
"Oh! I see! Qinghan, where are you planning to go this time?" the man asked curiously.
Shi Qinghan responded coldly: "Soul-Devouring Forest!" There was no warmth in his tone.
Hearing this answer, the man showed a forced smile on his face and said perfunctorily: "Okay! Uncle Wu still has some matters to deal with, so I won't bother you anymore. By the way, remember to come back to the Shi family to attend the wedding banquet in three months."
His fake smile made it easy to see through his hypocrisy.
Wait until the man's figure gradually moves away until he completely disappears from sight.
Gu Shihan then moved closer to Shi Qinghan and said, "Brother, do you have any impression of your fifth uncle? I'm afraid he is not a good person! Maybe in the future, he will cause us a lot of trouble!"
After hearing this, Shi Qinghan couldn't help but frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his deep eyes.
After a long while, he slowly answered, "To be honest, I don't have a very deep impression of this person. However, judging from his words and actions just now, he must be a member of our Shi family. However... I don't know why, deep in my heart, I always have a vague feeling of insecurity and unease."
"So, big brother, you have to be very careful! Are you really going to the Shi family to attend the wedding banquet in three months? Think about it, could it be that your fifth uncle deliberately set a trap to trick you back to the Shi family and then take the opportunity to harm you?"
Shi Qinghan sighed softly, shook his head and said: "This possibility does exist. After all, as you know, I am not actually a member of the Shi family in the true sense, so my hatred for them is naturally not that strong.
Although revenge is imperative, as the saying goes, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late", there is no need to rush. However, if you rashly go to the Shi family this time, you may inevitably fall into an unknown crisis.
I'm just saying that. After three months, we may have entered the Tianshui Secret Realm. How can we have time to deal with the Shi family?!"
Gu Shihan's uneasy heart fell to the ground, and he nodded and said, "Brother, it's good enough that you think this way. When your cultivation is not enough, don't be blinded by hatred and act impulsively!"
The two continued to move towards Black Wind Cliff. As the road was long and dangerous, they were not moving very fast.
The closer we got to the Black Wind Cliff, the more rugged and difficult the road became, and the miasma that permeated the surroundings became increasingly dense and heavy.
Even though the two of them had prepared enough Qingling Pills to resist the erosion of miasma, they could not be exposed in the miasma environment for a long time.
He could only travel for two hours at most every day, and had to spend most of the rest of the time resting and recuperating in the Qiankun House he carried with him.
After stumbling and stopping along the way for more than ten days of trekking, we finally arrived at a very strange small lake on this day.
The special thing about this lake is that, with the lake as the core, there is not even a trace of miasma within a radius of three meters around it.
You know, in this area, miasma is everywhere, and it is really incredible that there is such a place without any miasma in front of us.
"Little sister, this place is so strange, could it be that there are some rare treasures hidden here?"
Shi Qinghan was full of doubts. After walking around the lake twice, he couldn't help but speak.
"Rare treasures? It's really possible given how unusual this place is. I'll let Xingbai come out to take a look." Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan immediately brought Xingbai out of the space.
Xingbai has a talent for finding treasures. As soon as it landed, it quickly circled around the lake.
