Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Li Qinglian had a complicated look on her face.
Li Qinglian looked at Li Baihe with a complicated expression, muttering, "I thought you were really good to Changsheng, but I didn't expect that he is still a tool for revenge in your eyes?"
"You can also say he's a toy," Li Baihe laughed twice, not caring at all. "No matter what he is, he can never surpass Li Hanshuang's position in my eyes. You're worrying too much."
Li Qinglian was speechless for a moment and just looked at him.
Not far away, Changsheng, who was playing with the monsters and practicing attack methods, ran over and suddenly pounced into Li Baili's arms, smiling and rubbing against him, "Did I practice well just now?"
"Okay," Li Baihe took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the dust off his face, smiling and replied, "How can it be so good? There is no one better than you in the world!"
In fact, Li Baili was not very happy, but he wanted to laugh when he thought about who he was saying these words to.
Changsheng blushed, rolled around in Li Baili's arms, and said shyly like a seal, "It's not that good. I will try my best. Will you keep watching me?"
Changsheng looked up at Li Baili, looking forward to his answer.
Li Baili slowly put the handkerchief she had just used into Changsheng's arms and said with a smile, "Of course."
Changsheng took the handkerchief out of his arms with a smile. He knew it was a gift for him. He rubbed it like a cat rubbing catnip and said, "That's good!"
He jumped out of Li Baili's arms, like a singing and dancing toy man, spinning around and saying happily, "That's great!"
Everyone could see that he was really happy.
Li Qinglian couldn't help but frowned and asked Li Baihe: "What you just said was actually a joke, right?"
Li Baili raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "I just said a lot of things, which one did you say?"
Li Baili smiled cunningly and said, "Isn't it the compliment? Of course it was a joke. Or, is it the one I answered? That one too!"
Li Qinglian closed her eyes and felt a headache: "I was actually fooled by the way you acted."
"You are so easily fooled," Li Baili shook her head and said unfazed, "It's not my fault."
Li Qinglian glanced at Changsheng who was playing happily not far away, and couldn't help but sighed. She said to Li Baili earnestly, "You should be nicer to him."
Li Baili was a little surprised: "Isn't this good enough? You want me to give him the whole island? I won't do that even if he dies!"
Li Qinglian shook her head, feeling that communication was impossible, and turned away.
Changsheng ran over again and threw himself into Li Baili's arms. He timidly tugged at Li Baili's arm, like a rabbit poking its head out of a hole. He asked with some doubt: "Why did Uncle Qinglian leave? Did I make him unhappy? He didn't look very well."
Li Baili smiled and shook her head, touching Changsheng's hair, and said gently: "He just had something to do, so he left first. He is always busy, not unhappy."
"I will grow up quickly and try my best to help him. This way, he won't be so busy and tired. He should be happier, right? I see he doesn't smile often." Changsheng blinked and said, leaning in Li Baili's arms.
"Maybe." Li Baili raised her eyebrows and replied without comment.
During the night rest, Li Qinglian came and knocked on Li Baili's door.
Li Baili opened the door and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Li Qinglian hesitated for a while: "Penglai said that they want you to go to a meeting tomorrow, do you want to go?"
"What meeting?" Li Baili raised her eyebrows, even more confused.
"About Li Hanshuang." Li Qinglian said in a low voice.
"Isn't Li Hanshuang still in the gap? What do they want to do?" Li Baili frowned.
"They said that since no one knows when Li Hanshuang will come back from the hiatus, the position of Penglai Sect Leader cannot remain vacant. They may have to choose someone. If you go, you can watch and testify that their selection is fair and just." Li Qinglian said with his head down.
Li Baili sneered: "They want me to help them get rid of Li Hanshuang in Penglai? They are dreaming! Li Hanshuang is not dead yet!"
"No one knows when he will come out, right?" Li Qinglian looked around quickly, and waved his hand in the air at Li Baili as if he was guilty, and said in a low voice.
"No matter when he comes out, as long as he is not dead, I will not agree with them." Li Baili said as she was about to close the door.
Li Qinglian quickly closed the door and persuaded them, "It's okay if you disagree. It's just a meeting. It's not a big deal. Even if you really disagree, you have to say it in front of them. It's useless to say it to me. They won't listen to me."
Li Baili frowned, let go of her hand and asked, "Have they made up their minds to change one, or are they just trying to test me?"
Li Qinglian looked around: "I don't know either. I have to ask them."
Li Baili nodded: "I will go there tomorrow, you lead the way."
Li Qinglian smiled awkwardly: "Let me lead the way. I haven't been back home for quite a while."
Li Baili folded her arms across her chest and looked at him, wondering, "Come to think of it, why don't you go back? Penglai is where you live, right?"
"I brought such a large number of cultivators, but now some are dead or disabled, and only these are left. I have to wait until they have recuperated before taking them back, right? Otherwise, what will it look like?" Li Qinglian couldn't help but shook his head.
"Okay," Li Baili nodded doubtfully and asked, "So they really didn't want you to monitor me here and wait for Li Hanshuang to come out and report to them as soon as possible?"
Li Qinglian smiled, and hesitated to speak: "I can't talk about this kind of thing. Besides, they are not like that at all. Don't think too badly of them!"
Li Baili showed a hint of sarcasm on her face. She didn't seem to believe what he said, but she didn't seem to disbelieve it either. She just said with a half-smile, "Why should I care about them? Just looking at what they do, it doesn't mean they are that good!"
Li Qinglian was silent for a moment, there was nothing to refute.
The next day, Li Qinglian took Li Hanshuang to Penglai.
Penglai had already arranged the venue, and all the participants were seated, waiting only for the two of them, looking very serious.
Li Baili didn't like and wasn't used to this kind of atmosphere, so she adjusted her sitting position and looked at them all. She found that their faces had different expressions, but they had one thing in common, which was that they didn't look at him, as if he was some kind of monster.
Although he might not be a good person, the reaction of so many people was too strange. They looked as if they were guilty and were about to do something to let him down.
Li Baili narrowed her eyes.
The meeting has begun.
Whitebeard stroked his beard, coughed dryly, and said, "We invited everyone here today for a common cause. We want to elect a new leader for Penglai today. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at Li Baili, and Li Baili didn't speak for a while.
They didn't know what Li Baili meant, and just assumed that he agreed, so they raised their hands one after another to speak. After they finished speaking, they started voting. More people agreed to elect a new leader than disagreed.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, everyone relaxed and smiled happily on their faces.
To show fairness, Whitebeard looked at Li Baili and asked with a smile, "What does the Demon Lord think?"
They thought that at this time, as long as Li Baili agreed, they could start selecting a new sect leader. They rubbed their hands, looked at each other, and got ready.
"I don't agree." Li Baili said firmly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that he would make trouble at this time. Their faces looked unhappy. They felt that he was not giving them face and was not worthy of sitting here.
Many people exchanged glances with each other and secretly planned that when the meeting was over, or if Li Baili said something inappropriate again, they would stand up and drive her away without any courtesy.
Whitebeard stroked his beard, as if taking the opportunity to pat his chest, and took a deep breath, then asked Li Baili, "Why don't you agree?"
Li Baili said expressionlessly: "Li Hanshuang is not dead yet, you are going too far to choose a new Penglai Sect Master now. If you choose a new one and he comes back alive, how will he deal with himself here? What status? What identity? What should he do? Do you have any idea about this?"
Or do you just mean that if he doesn't come back, he should be considered dead, and everything he has in Penglai belongs to Penglai and should be redistributed to other people. Even if he comes back, it's almost the same as being dead, and he doesn't deserve anything here?
I can’t just sit there and do nothing.”
Li Baili sneered: "After all, we have been friends for many years."
An elder who was attending the meeting snorted, shook his head, and said disdainfully: "Come on, everyone knows that you two have a grudge against each other? You even stabbed him! How can you be friends?
What's more, he left after staying in the same room with you. Who knows if you killed him? He hasn't come back yet, maybe it's just better for you to destroy the body!
Why do you have to pretend in front of us? You obviously want him to die! Even if he didn't die, who knows if he left suddenly because you were hurt?
Maybe he won't come back at all, even if he's alive! As expected, the devil is just a hypocrite, we are ashamed of ourselves! When it comes to hypocrisy, you win!"
Li Baili sneered, and no one could see clearly how he made his move.
When they turned around and looked at the elder, they found that the elder was lying on the ground with his hands covering his neck, red blood flowing from his throat, and it seemed that there was no hope of recovery.
"Who has any other opinions?" Li Baili sat motionless in her seat, turned her head and looked at everyone and asked slowly.
