Underground ice cave, found the heart of ice
Qin Ruqing wandered around in the secret realm for two days and found that things were indeed going in a tricky direction...
Mainly, when she was looking for treasure before, she had almost searched the secret realm of the Qin family. The cliff on the west side was where she found the stalactite cave before, and the outer forest was even more familiar to her.
But there was no trace of the heart of ice in these places. Qin Ruqing also remembered what the ancestor said to her, that the heart of ice has the characteristic of being "alive" and will hide by itself, so when she was looking for the heart of ice, she did not look blindly, but had a main goal and direction: 1.
Find where there is ice in the secret realm. Regardless of whether it is ten thousand years of cold black ice, as long as there is ice, it is worth trying to explore.
2. Find where the temperature in the secret realm is obviously lower. Compared with the surrounding environment, it is obviously several degrees worse, so you need to pay attention.
But even though Qin Ruqing has a clear mind, she hasn't found any clues these days. The secret realm is too big, and the other half is something she can't get involved in. Of
course, Qin Ruqing naturally thought of using the Lingbao Explorer. In fact, she was not too anxious because she relied on the explorer. As a result, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
The dog system told her that the Lingbao Explorer produced by the system can only search for natural treasures produced in the world, and the treasures materialized by the system are not included.
In other words, the Lingbao Explorer is useless.
Qin Ruqing cursed in her heart, why didn't you say it was useless earlier? Isn't this a waste of feelings!
Qin Ruqing would never admit in her heart that she had been planning to harm the system. Well, redeem something from the system mall, and then use the Lingbao Explorer to search for it after the system materializes. Unlimited card bug, isn't this a sure way to get rich?
But the system wasn't stupid, and it blocked this bug directly.
Humph! Qin Ruqing didn't get any advantage, and cursed the system countless times in his heart, but in the end he had no choice but to search on his own.
The range got bigger and bigger the more he searched. Several times, Qin Ruqing had already walked to the junction of the Qin and Zhang secret realms. Qin Ruqing was ready to take risks, and thought that if he searched around the edge, the Zhang family wouldn't be able to find him.
But every time she thought about it, the old ancestor's evaluation of her appeared in her mind like a strong flashlight: "She is extremely talented and smart, but she is not stable enough and a little jumpy. She may suffer a great loss in the future." Thinking of
this, Qin Ruqing's tentative steps were suddenly retracted.
No, no! She must not make the same mistake as the heroine in the novel who likes to make a big mistake!
She felt that the script she got was very good in all aspects. As long as she practiced steadily, she would have no worries about her future. Moreover, she promised the old ancestor that she would go to get the ice and fire herbs for him and bring the Qin family back to the East Region. Her life was very important, and she must not make any mistakes on this.
Qin Ruqing hurriedly said to herself: I must change my bad habit of jumping around, I must stay calm, I must follow my heart, and I must be cautious!
After saying this, Qin Ruqing turned around without looking back. Let's look around the Qin family. The area is so large that there must be a place she missed.
Qin Ruqing has been staying in the secret realm recently. The mysterious situation must not be hidden from Qirong and Lu Wei who are inseparable from her.
Qirong asked her several times at the beginning, and Qin Ruqing was vague about it. After all, she was looking for elixirs for the ancestor. If she explained it too clearly, it would arouse suspicion.
But when Qirong asked again today, Qin Ruqing hesitated. The secret realm is too big, and she doesn't know how long it will take to find it by herself. Qirong and Lu Wei are her closest partners. There is nothing wrong with revealing some things to them, and... Qirong and Lu Wei are not the kind of people who ask questions.
So, "Sister, are you looking for treasure recently?" When Qirong asked this question again, Qin Ruqing did not avoid it, but answered directly.
"Yes, I'm looking for something very important."
Qin Ruqing squatted down and pulled Qirong and Lu Wei to the side. The three of them huddled together, like a mysterious organization discussing a secret code to meet.
This atmosphere of doing something big made Qirong excited, and he also lowered his voice like Qin Ruqing: "Sister, what is it?"
"A spiritual object that can heal the old ancestor's injuries." Qin Ruqing's voice was serious.
She did not hide it, and said frankly: "I have been pestering the old ancestor for some time, and finally asked what the spiritual object that can heal the old ancestor's injuries is called. One of them is called the Heart of Ice, which is the spiritual essence of ten thousand years of cold and mysterious ice. I don't know why, after the old ancestor gave the answer, my spirit platform suddenly felt something, and it told me that the Heart of Ice is in our secret realm!"
Except for the "spiritual platform feeling" that was slightly different from the truth, Qin Ruqing told the truth about everything else.
Qirong and Lu Wei didn't know when they had held their breath. It turned out that Qingqing was looking for the elixir to heal the ancestor's injuries! No wonder Qingqing said it was important. If the ancestor's injuries could be healed, it would be very important to the Qin family.
As for Qin Ruqing's "feelings at the altar", the two had their own understandings.
Lu Wei's pretty face was full of seriousness. She said, "We cultivators practice, sense the heaven and earth, and capture the mysteries between heaven and earth. Therefore, we can often get additional revelations, such as 'sudden enlightenment' is a prominent example. In addition, there are dreams. Qingqing, although I can't imagine what you feel in your spirit platform, I think it should be similar to sudden enlightenment and dreams, both of which are revelations given by heaven."
The more Lu Wei talked, the more excited her voice became, "Qingqing, this is a gift from heaven to you and to our Qin family. The elixir that the ancestor needs may really be in this secret realm!"
Good guys, the third sister is really a top student. This wave is called enterprise-level understanding!
As for Qirong, his thoughts were even more brutal, "Qingqing, my mother said that you are a person of great luck, and the storybook says that people with good talents and good luck are often the reincarnations of powerful people. You are the reincarnation of a powerful person, so it is normal that you can sense some special things!"
This is a typical case of the late stage of the second syndrome!
Qirong's little brain somehow came up with the information that Qin Ruqing is the reincarnation of a powerful person. After that, Qirong felt that Qin Ruqing was different from others, and he was very convinced of his conclusion:
Qingqing's abnormality is normal, and being too normal is abnormal.
Qin Ruqing was stunned: You guys are awesome!
In other words, are the people in the cultivation world all so good at making up their minds? I haven't said anything yet, and you have come up with so many conclusions?
And the most bizarre thing is, I also inexplicably feel that what you say makes sense?!
Qin Ruqing shook his head, let it go, and quickly got back to the point: "I have already searched around these days, but I guess the secret realm is too big, so I haven't found anything yet."
"We will act separately when the time comes, which will be more efficient. When you search, you only need to pay attention to two points: one, see where there is ice, and two, see where the temperature is low. As long as one of the two is met, you should tell me as soon as possible."
Qirong and Lu Wei nodded immediately, and they were going to set out separately. Qin Ruqing then remembered something else and quickly pulled them back, reminding them: "Oh, there is one more thing, we only search in the Qin family's territory, and don't cross the border to the Zhang family's territory. Recently, the relationship between our family and the Zhang family has been tense because of the pharmacy, so it is better to be careful and cautious."
Qirong and Lu Wei both nodded, indicating that they remembered. The three of them discussed everything and finally set out separately.
With help from others, Qin Ruqing felt relieved even though there has been no progress. Two days
passed like this.
In fact, when the three of them had been searching together for so many days but had not found any clues, Qin Ruqing had already guessed that the worst result might have happened. The Ice Heart might really have fallen into the hands of the Zhang family.
Qin Ruqing felt aggrieved for a long time when she came to this conclusion, and then she began to curse the system.
You dog system, how dare you manipulate me! It seems that I haven't plucked enough wool this time. Next time, I will not only pluck it, but I will pluck it hard and make you bald!
Qin Ruqing cursed while pushing aside the grass as tall as a person around her. She observed the terrain and deduced that her current location should be the junction of the territories of the Qin and Zhang families. She is on the Qin family's side.
This place is lush with vegetation. It seems that he has been here once before, but found nothing. Qin Ruqing had an impression of this place because there is a large lake nearby, called Jinghu Lake.
After searching for a long time, Qin Ruqing was already a little tired, so he came to the lake to rest. In addition, he was hungry, and because he had not yet started fasting, Qin Ruqing thought about catching one or two fish to grill and eat.
Qin Ruqing took out a Qin family standard magic sword from the storage bag, held it in his hand, and walked to the lake.
The water was gurgling and clear. Qin Ruqing was upside down, and his own shadow was reflected on the water. He held his breath and concentrated, just waiting for the shadow of the fish to pass by, and then stabbed it with the sword.
The result... a bird flew by in the sky, and the fish had not come yet. Qin Ruqing changed his posture and continued to squat and wait.
Another crow flew across the sky...
When the fifth bird flew over her head and Qin Ruqing was tired of holding the sword, she finally realized something was wrong.
Why are there no fish here... It's not that she's fishing, Xiaobai, she's already made a nest and sprinkled bait. Not to mention how noisy the fish are, you can float up to eat some bait and spit out some bubbles.
In the end, there was nothing, not even a hair of the fish.
Qin Ruqing frowned, stuck the sword into the ground, squatted on one knee, and stared intently at the sparkling lake... And isn't this lake water too clear? They say that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Is it because the water is too clear that there are no fish in the lake?
Then the question is, why is the water so clear?
Qin Ruqing stared at the lake for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand and carefully felt the water temperature... To be honest, it seemed normal, and a little cool.
But the degree of coolness was very subtle, causing Qin Ruqing to wonder if it was a psychological effect - she had been looking for ice and cool places these two days, so that her brain had such a guide.
Walking around the lake, Qin Ruqing tried the water temperatures in different directions, and finally she carefully concluded: the lake water in this place is indeed cooler. Maybe, probably not her illusion.
Just like that, she walked along the lake, stroking her chin. Qin Ruqing hesitated in her heart. She couldn't see anything from the surface of the lake, but she felt that it was a little abnormal.
So, should she go down and take a look?
After walking for a while, Qin Ruqing suddenly stopped. She stared at the lake and cursed, "You dog system, you'd better behave yourself!"
She jumped into the river with a splash.
Qin Ruqing performed a water avoidance technique and dived to the bottom of the lake. The diving time of the water avoidance technique depends on the depth of the practitioner's skills and spiritual power.
Qin Ruqing's water avoidance technique... was not very advanced, but fortunately she had a Taoist body and she was still in the realm of innate great perfection. In other words, she was a perpetual motion machine of spiritual energy!
Therefore, even though being underwater slowed down Qin Ruqing's recovery of spiritual energy, it still allowed her to hold on for half an hour.
Half an hour was enough time for her to explore. Qin Ruqing sank down with peace of mind.
When she was halfway through the dive, Qin Ruqing felt that the water temperature had dropped.
It really dropped!
This lake seemed to be deeper than other lakes. When she reached here, the light became dim. When she reached the bottom of the lake, it was basically pitch black, and Qin Ruqing could only rely on her spiritual sense to find her way.
She didn't have much time left, and if she couldn't find the abnormality, she would have to go back to the surface to breathe.
A black shadow suddenly flashed by, and Qin Ruqing was startled. She subconsciously wanted to throw a fireball, but she quickly realized that this was underwater, so she started using the sword instead.
Although she didn't know many sword moves... well, she'd just have to make do with it.
After using her spiritual sense to sense for a while, she realized it was a fish. Qin Ruqing was about to relax, but suddenly she realized, something is wrong, there were no fish in the warmer shallow water just now, but there are fish in such a cold deep water now, isn't this strange? Qin Ruqing
thought for a moment, and while she was worried, she deliberately followed the traces of the fish.
Soon she came to a cave surrounded by reefs. There was actually a group of fish living in the cave, like their nest.
Qin Ruqing swung a sword and the fish scattered. Qin Ruqing approached the cave entrance and rubbed it carefully.
It didn't seem to be anything special. Qin Ruqing looked for a while with hope, but didn't find anything unusual... No! Her time was almost up, and it would take some time to swim from here to the surface.
Qin Ruqing became a little anxious, and her rubbing movements became more urgent. However, she still didn't find anything different. This reef cave has no cracks, and it is not deep. It is ordinary, as if it is just a fish nest.
Did she think too much? Qin Ruqing glanced in the direction of the water surface, and her heart was very anxious. If she didn't leave now, it would be too late.
No, she had to calm down and think carefully... The fish that appeared inexplicably, lived in such cold and deep water, and chose a place to build a nest.
How could it be believed that this nest was not special?
Qin Ruqing had some ideas in her mind. She gave up using her hands and turned to use what she was best at - her body and her high sensitivity to spiritual energy.
It was like opening the door to a new world. Qin Ruqing finally found a trace of abnormality in all this abnormality.
When she got close to the reef cave, did the sluggish feeling of the spiritual energy disappear? You know, her ability was weakened in the water, and the speed of spiritual energy recovery was not as fast as on land.
Moreover, not only did the stagnation disappear, but there seemed to be a mysterious energy mobilizing her aura and guiding its circulation. Sure
enough, there was a secret.
She had to find a way to blast open this hole. There were only a few techniques she knew that could be used underwater, and the ones that could be used were much less powerful. After thinking about it, she decided to use a sword.
Qin Ruqing did not hesitate any longer, and with a sullen face, she used her ultimate move - um, the most powerful of the few sword techniques she knew, Ten Thousand Swords Returned to One.
Thank God, Qin Ruqing watched Lu Wei practice swordsmanship for a while, and also listened to Lu Wei's explanation of the key points of using Ten Thousand Swords Returned to One.
In addition, she would have to fail at least twice to perform this sword technique properly on the third try. Today, perhaps because she was too nervous due to the height of her thinking, she was able to perform it in one try! (Thanks to Lu Wei again)
All the swords were fired at the same time, converging on one point. There was a loud bang, and the rubble broke apart. When the noise subsided, Qin Ruqing looked in the direction of the reef cave, and found that a larger hole had been blown out there. Qin
Ruqing carefully put her head into the dark hole, trying to find out what was wrong, but she felt an inexplicable suction force.
She fell in headfirst.
Gulp, gurgling, gurgling... The hole was like a tunnel, very deep and long. Qin Ruqing rolled down like a ball and finally rolled to the bottom.
Qin Ruqing fell to the ground dizzy. She held her forehead with her hands and cursed in her heart: What the hell, do you have any martial ethics? Can you say hello before inhaling! Ah, I can't walk by myself, and you insist on asking me to roll down! Fortunately,
although Qin Ruqing is not as thick-skinned as Qirong, she is not a brittle person. She recovered in a short while. Qin Ruqing supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to stand up.
As a result, it felt very cold... Qin Ruqing moved her hands away in a daze and looked at the ground. No wonder it was so cold. It turned out that the ground was not ground, but ice!
- Ice!
Qin Ruqing jumped up like a shrimp, propping up her head to look at the environment around her.
Here, it turned out to be a snow-white and spectacular underground ice cave world!
Saying "snow-white" is actually not quite accurate. These thick layers of ice gathered together are no longer transparent, nor white, but a clear blue.
Qin Ruqing clenched her fists fiercely. Underground ice cave, how could there be an underground ice cave in the secret realm? This is most likely the place where the system materialized the Ice Heart! I
finally found it for you!
System, you finally acted like a human being! You didn't materialize it to the Zhang family!
Well, now that we are at the ice cave, the next step is to find the hidden Ice Heart! Qin Ruqing felt very excited, but suddenly shivered violently.
Ah Qiu... God, it's so cold!
Qin Ruqing hugged her arms and sneezed, mobilizing her spiritual energy to warm her body before she could move forward.
Speaking of spiritual energy, Qin Ruqing discovered that, just as she had felt before, this ice cave seemed to have a strange energy that could lead your spiritual energy to circulate, making your cultivation smoother.
It was different from the stalactite cave, which could speed up cultivation simply because there was too much spiritual energy. Think about it, the spiritual energy in there has turned into substance, and you can be full just by sitting there.
Qin Ruqing didn't quite understand this either. She roughly guessed that the thick layer of ice here was the ten thousand year old cold black ice that the ancestors had mentioned. As for the mysterious energy that would guide the circulation of spiritual energy, Qin Ruqing didn't know what it was.
However, this also explains why the fish had nested at the entrance of the cave outside, and some of them even developed a slight intelligence. Living things have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. There is energy escaping from the entrance outside. Although it is small and has no effect on Qin Ruqing, it may be a good thing for the fish.
Just as Qin Ruqing was shivering and looking for the Ice Heart in the ice cave, a person also quietly sneaked into the Qin family's half of the secret realm.
The person's name is Zhang Li, a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and he is the third elder of the Zhang family.
This is not the first time that the Zhang family has sneaked into the Qin family. The advance team sent by the elder has already made a round of investigation and returned.
The people who went there first came back to report that there was indeed something strange about the Qin family. They were guarding the area near the western cliff closely. Not only were there people taking turns to stand guard, but there were also foundation building elders on guard.
Fearing that he would be discovered by the foundation building elders, the man only watched for a while and did not dare to approach, so he did not know what was wrong with the place guarded by the Qin family.
With teams taking turns to stand guard and foundation building elders on guard, the secret hidden by the Qin family must be quite big. So, after discussion, the Zhang family carefully sent Zhang Li.
Since there was a foundation building elder guarding that place, if they wanted to find out the details, they had to prevent the foundation building elder of the Qin family from discovering it. In this case, the Zhang family had to either send a foundation building elder as well, or let a high-level Qi training cultivator bring a magic weapon that could conceal the breath to give it a try.
The Zhang family chose the latter.
At this time, Zhang Li, wearing a gray coat, shuttled quickly through the woods, and then crossed the border without hesitation.
Zhang Li knew that his destination was the western cliff. Going west from the direction of the border, he happened to pass by a lake. Originally, he jumped on the branches to hide his whereabouts, but there was a lake blocking the way, so Zhang Li had to fly over the lake.
Hmm? Halfway through the flight, Zhang Li's consciousness suddenly moved.
A cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training is very close to building a foundation, basically leaving the mortal body, and his consciousness is sharp. Zhang Li felt that there was something under the lake, and the spiritual energy was surging and quickly coming to the surface of the lake.
The speed of the flight was a little slower, and Zhang Li also wanted to see what was coming up from the bottom. In just a short while, a dark figure slowly emerged from the bottom of the lake.
The water surface broke open, water droplets splashed everywhere, and the head that emerged was actually a little girl full of spiritual energy, breathing heavily...
Looking at her cultivation, her appearance, and her dress... Zhang Li's eyes were bright, and he felt that even if he didn't find anything on the western cliff, this trip would not be in vain.
Look, isn't there a living big gift package delivered directly to the door!
...
Going back a little bit in time, Qin Ruqing was still in the ice cave at the bottom of the lake. Qin
Ruqing was shivering with his arms hugged, and his teeth were almost frozen off, but he didn't see any shadow of the Ice Heart.
This ice cave is a bit weird. It stands to reason that cultivators should not be afraid of the cold because they have spiritual energy to protect their bodies. Qin Ruqing has a Taoist body, so she should not be afraid of the cold.
As a result, the cold air inside seemed to be able to penetrate the aura shield and directly drill into the blood vessels of people.
After freezing for a while, Qin Ruqing realized that she couldn't go on like this. She didn't know what the Heart of Ice looked like, and this thing would automatically hide, maybe it was playing hide-and-seek with her now.
It's hard to tell when I can find it with the naked eye, so I have to find a way to lure it out.
Qin Ruqing rummaged in her storage bag and took out a jade bottle. Qin Ruqing shook the jade bottle, and suddenly felt a pain in her flesh when she remembered what she had to do next.
There were three drops of chalcedony in the jade bottle - didn't the ancestor take half a piece of chalcedony when he healed his wounds before? These three drops were given to her by the ancestor after he came out of retreat.
The ancestor said that chalcedony is a holy medicine for healing. In addition, it can speed up the progress of cultivation, assist in breaking through bottlenecks, and increase the chance of sudden enlightenment. These three drops of remaining chalcedony are given to you, and I hope you will use them well.
When Qin Ruqing heard that chalcedony could assist in breaking through bottlenecks, she planned to use it when she got stuck in cultivation. But today is a little special.
Qin Ruqing took out two jade bottles, carefully poured a drop of chalcedony into one of the jade bottles, and carefully put away the remaining two drops of chalcedony.
Placing the green jade bottle with a drop of chalcedony in the center of the ice cave, Qin Ruqing found a place to hide, held her breath, and began to wait.
Fishing requires bait, and the bait she used was "chalcedony".
As for why chalcedony was used, Qin Ruqing had her own understanding. Chalcedony and the Heart of Ice belong to the category of spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and they are also quite rare. It is said that spiritual objects of this level will naturally attract each other, or repel each other. In short, there will be a reaction.
This is the reaction Qin Ruqing wants. Now the ice cave is empty and chilly, without even a ghost. Qin Ruqing wanted to create some movement to make the Ice Heart emerge.
As a result, Qin Ruqing waited for a while, and the spiritual energy in her body was already at its maximum. As long as there was a little special movement, Qin Ruqing could capture it immediately with the blessing of the ice cave.
As a result, there was nothing.
Qin Ruqing frowned. Could it be that the Ice Heart was not interested in chalcedony? This inference made Qin Ruqing so angry that he wanted to clench his fist.
That's chalcedony! Do you know how expensive it is! No, it should be said that money can no longer measure the value of chalcedony, and you are still not interested!
Qin Ruqing exhaled heavily and began to think of a solution.
To be honest, she didn't think there was anything wrong with using chalcedony. The problem should be something else.
Her eyes fell on the bluish-white jade bottle. It is round, white, and without a trace of impurities, which is very consistent with human aesthetics... But does it meet the aesthetics of the Heart of Ice?
Qin Ruqing thought of the ancestor's description of the Heart of Ice: it has the characteristic of being "alive" and is good at hiding.
Does this characteristic of being alive mean that the Heart of Ice has a certain intelligence?
Qin Ruqing's eyes moved to the clear blue ten thousand year old black ice, and suddenly a new idea came to her. She took the sword and cut off a piece of black ice like cutting a melon, then sat cross-legged on the ground, hugged the piece of black ice, and began to cut it with the sword.
You have only lived in ice all your life and have never seen anything good, right? I'll make a nest for you! How can you not like it?
Qin Ruqing cut the piece of black ice into a ball, hollowed it out, and left only a round entrance.
Just when she was about to put the ball nest down, Qin Ruqing paused cautiously. Perhaps it was still a little crude. Her eyes glanced at the jade bottle next to her. Qin Ruqing gritted her teeth and poured the drop of chalcedony inside into the ball nest.
Ah, her chalcedony. She didn't want to sacrifice the child, so she spent a lot of money this time!
Qin Ruqing hid behind a giant black ice and began to wait quietly.
This time, she didn't wait for long. Qin Ruqing's eyes suddenly moved. She turned her eyes up quietly, and sure enough, she saw an inconspicuous little white light appear above her head.
Qin Ruqing's body was stiff, and even her breathing became lighter.
After a while, the white light seemed to "observe" for a while, and after making sure there was no danger, it slid down from the ice.
Slowly moving to the side of the ball nest, Bai Guang stood at the entrance, and looked inside furtively, but refused to go in.
Qin Ruqing almost choked. Why don't you go in? Why are you standing here looking at it!
After a while, it seemed that the temptation to lie down in the ball nest was too great, and Bai Guang finally rushed in. Qin Ruqing was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He moved over in an instant, picked up the ball nest, and immediately sealed it with spiritual energy.
Hehe! Finally caught it!
Qin Ruqing was almost in tears. It took so much effort to coax this little guy into the trap, and it directly cost her a drop of chalcedony. After returning, even if she licked the ball nest clean, this drop of chalcedony could not be wasted!
However, everything was worth it!
Although Qin Ruqing was excited, he did not hesitate at all. He quickly used his spiritual energy to seal the ball nest with three layers! Because Qin Ruqing still felt that the first layer was not safe enough. Then he carefully put the sealed ball nest into the storage bag.
It's done! Qin Ruqing was relaxed, took out the jade slip, sent a message to Qirong and the others, and then planned to go back.
When Qin Ruqing was swimming upstream from the bottom of the lake, he was still thinking that the ice cave was also a good place. Although it was probably a landform change caused by the system in order to "materialize" the Heart of Ice, the Qin family could still develop and utilize it in the future.
Not bad, not bad, this trip was a good harvest. Qin Ruqing emerged from the water happily, took a deep breath, and felt that everything was going well.
After catching her breath, Qin Ruqing somehow felt something was wrong subconsciously. She looked up and saw a gray cannon man hanging right above her.
This gray cannon man, who didn't look like a serious person from the way he was dressed, had strong spiritual energy and a strong aura. It was obvious that he was at least a high-level Qi training monk.
Frog! Damn it!
Qin Ruqing cursed, turned around and dived into the lake. The top was blocked, so she could only run downwards.
But the bottom of the water was not suitable for fast movement. It took time for Qin Ruqing to turn around and dive, and she was soon picked up from the water by the gray cannon monk.
Qin Ruqing was grabbed by the back of his collar, just like a cat being grabbed by the back of the neck, and was forced to look the hoodlum in the eyes.
The hoodlum was of course Zhang Li who sneaked into the Qin family's secret realm. Zhang Li laughed evilly and was about to say a few villain quotes, but Qin Ruqing kicked his legs and flew out like a rocket.
Zhang Li was not in any danger, and because he didn't hold on tightly, he was dragged forward by Qin Ruqing and almost fell into the lake.
Zhang Li steadied himself, frowned at the direction Qin Ruqing ran away, and said, "
How come you are as slippery as a loach!
