The Guardian Spirit's expression changed instantly, as if something had been touched: "What do you mean by that!"

"You said Qiu Yulong is a person whose good and evil are not pure? I think he is very pure in evil. Do you think he really gave up refining the elixir of immortality because he had a change of heart?" Gu Qingfeng suddenly laughed.

"You are not allowed to slander the master!"

"Oh? It seems that Qiu Yulong's brainwashing of you was quite successful. Yes, he was able to deceive the world for hundreds of years and still has countless fans. This is enough to show his brainwashing skills."

"You can kill me, but you can't slander my master. Although he is a fraud, he is also a person who sticks to the bottom line and dares to sacrifice for his ideals. He has been pursuing his dreams all his life. What's wrong with that?

If he is really an unforgivable criminal, when his life is almost over, he can prolong his life by killing innocent people instead of waiting to die!" The guardian spirit said anxiously.

Gu Qingfeng's expression was very calm, in stark contrast to the guardian spirit's impatience.

I only heard him analyze calmly: "Let's not talk about whether he is pursuing a dream or fame and fortune. Let's not talk about this for now. Can't your stubborn brain think of another possibility?

What are the chances that a person who does not forget to promote his own reputation even after his death and attempts to pass on his name to future generations will have a change of heart?

You said that he came to his senses after accidentally killing a bandit, but I think that he must have killed too many people and attracted a lot of attention, so he had to stop.

Because once he was discovered, it would mean that the Heavenly Demon Scroll might be exposed, and he would lose the title of the world's number one alchemist.

He killed so many people in the state that there was no one left to pick up their belongings. How could this not attract attention? "

"You are making far-fetched arguments!" the guardian spirit said angrily.

"No, I am just making a rational analysis from the perspective of human nature being evil. Besides, he later used his own life span to make elixirs, which is also easy to explain, because he was imprisoned and couldn't go out to kill people.

In order to avoid exposing the secret of the Heavenly Demon Scroll and preserve his reputation, he would rather sacrifice his own lifespan than tell the truth to those who imprisoned him.

As you said, he must be a person who values ​​reputation more than life.

This also explains why he would rather die of old age than kill people to extend his life, because his life ideals had been achieved and he had no regrets in death. Killing people to extend his life had no meaning to him other than increasing the risk of exposure, and if he stayed alive he might be captured by other strong men.

So, rather than living with the risk of being discovered, it is better to put a full stop to a fulfilling life."

"Nonsense, these are all your guesses. What evidence do you have to prove it?" The guardian spirit was already a little exasperated at this point.

Gu Qingfeng calmly stared at the guardian spirit: "Evidence? Every five years, at least a thousand people die in Yulong Secret Realm, all for the sake of inheritance. Of course, there are those who are blinded by greed, but there must also be admirers who come here with a pilgrimage mentality. A scam has become a killing game for a hundred years. Don't you think it's interesting?"

"Their death is their own business, the master didn't force them to do it!"

"You're right, they wanted to come here on their own, and it's no one's fault if they die. You and I don't care about these people, but would the kind-hearted Qiu you mentioned, who would rather die than hurt anyone, care?

Would he care about those young juniors who are full of vigor and admiration?

Would you care about those who should have shined in the Dao of Alchemy but...?”

"Enough! Stop talking!" The Guardian Spirit screamed hysterically, "Could it be that the Master didn't think of these things when he set up the secret realm?

Isn't it normal for him to be careless as his life is drawing to a close?"

Gu Qingfeng looked at the guardian spirit who lost his composure and suddenly laughed: "You are right, it is possible that he did not expect it. Things that happened a hundred years ago cannot be verified. What you and I said are all speculations. As the saying goes, everyone has their own opinions.

Whether Qiu Yulong is good or evil has nothing to do with me. For me, as long as this Heavenly Demon Scroll is real, that is enough."

The guardian spirit was stunned, then angrily said: "Since it has nothing to do with you, why do you want to slander my master!"

Gu Qingfeng shrugged: "I just said another possible fact, it's not slander. The key is not what I said, but what is the truth in your heart?"

"The truth I believe..."

The guardian spirit lost consciousness for a moment and muttered to himself. The more he muttered, the more lost his expression became. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would quickly take root and sprout.

"It seems that you already have the answer in your mind."

"I..." The Guardian Spirit paused for a moment, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "I am the master's most loyal servant. Naturally, I believe in the master!"

Gu Qingfeng laughed dumbly: "Have you ever thought that you might not be as loyal as you think?"

"You are talking nonsense..."

"Don't be so quick to deny it. The Heavenly Demon Scroll in my hand is the best evidence. Just now, in the face of a life-and-death crisis, you subconsciously took out the scroll in order to survive, without any regard for the reputation your master has spent his entire life protecting. Do you think this is loyalty?"

"That's because... because of... the rules of the secret realm!" the guardian spirit stuttered and shouted.

"The rules of the secret realm set by the master back then are that whoever enters this inheritance space can obtain the method of divine refining. This is the meaning of the existence of the secret realm! As the guardian spirit, I naturally have to follow the rules! I am absolutely loyal!" The guardian spirit spoke more and more fluently, and his eyes became more and more determined.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Gu Qingfeng said perfunctorily, then turned around and was about to leave the inheritance space.

The guardian spirit was anxious: "What do you mean, don't you believe me?"

Gu Qingfeng stopped, glanced at it calmly, and said calmly: "Whether you are loyal or not, what does it have to do with me? All disputes in the world have no definitive conclusion, but everyone has their own opinions."

Gu Qingfeng's plain words made the guardian spirit feel empty in his heart instantly, as if something important and something he had always held on to was missing, but he couldn't remember what it was.

However, Gu Qingfeng had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped again and looked quietly at the entrance of the space.

The next moment, a thin, white-haired figure whizzed in.

It was Qiu Xiaocui.

When Qiu Xiaocui saw Gu Qingfeng in the inheritance space, her face changed instantly: "You, a master, can't erase the words on the stone tablet with your soul power. How did you get in?"
