Elder Zhang stared at Gu Qingxi with wide eyes, and when he was sure that Gu Qingxi's expression was not joking, he quickly took out the sound transmission jade slip and walked aside to contact Elder Ling.
At this time, Nangong Jin said to Gu Qingxi in an apologetic tone: "Miss Gu, thank you for agreeing to my rude request. You should have gone back to report your safety to your master and brothers first, and the Immortal Alliance Conference is also looking for you."
After collecting the souls of the cultivators, Nangong Jin asked Gu Qingxi to take him back to see his master first. Gu Qingxi agreed immediately.
She completely understood Nangong Jin's feelings.
"It doesn't matter. I have already sent a message to my master and brothers. As for the Immortal Alliance Conference, the matter has been resolved and the cultivators have all been rescued. What are they worried about?" Gu Qingxi replied.
Although Gu Qingxi said so, Nangong Jin still felt uneasy. He said softly, "During the years since I fell, the one I was most worried about was my master. With his personality, I'm afraid he will have a hard time these years. So, I want to see him sooner."
"You and your master have a good relationship." Gu Qingxi said with a smile. She thought of her master at this time.
When she contacted her master just now, her master's tone was full of worry and nervousness.
After she reported that she was safe and roughly explained the matter of the secret realm, her master was relieved.
"Yes, my master treats me as his own child." Nangong Jin said with a smile.
Elder Ling came very quickly.
A moment later, at the entrance of the tent, an old man in a gray robe came in like a flash of lightning.
The old man's beard and hair were a little messy, and his whole body was very decadent. As soon as he came in, he rushed to Gu Qingxi.
"Jin'er... Where is Jin'er?" The gray-robed old man looked at Gu Qingxi excitedly.
Elder Zhang saw Elder Ling lose his composure like this, and hurriedly apologized to Gu Qingxi: "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, my senior brother..."
Gu Qingxi waved her hand to show that she didn't mind: "I understand." Gu Qingxi
looked at the haggard old man in gray robe in front of her. He looked unkempt, but his eyes were filled with excitement and excitement, but underneath this light, there was shivering and fear.
He was afraid that he would despair again after just getting a little hope.
Gu Qingxi couldn't help but think, if something happened to her, what would her master be like?
She didn't dare to think about it, and couldn't bear to think about it.
So even if she didn't do it for herself, she would do it for the people who cared about her.
Gu Qingxi offered a few talismans and released Nangong Jin.
When Elder Ling saw Nangong Jin standing in front of him, his whole body was shaking with excitement. He stared at the person in front of him, at the beautiful blue eyes, and his voice trembled: "Jin'er, Jin'er, is it you... Am I dreaming again? I dreamed that you came back to see me?"
"Master, it's me." Nangong Jin had a gentle smile on his face, but his voice was choked.
"Is it really Jin'er? It's really!" Elder Ling wanted to reach out and touch Nangong Jin excitedly, but he was afraid that if he touched him, the person in front of him would disappear.
So he stretched out his hand and retracted it, and then stared at the person in front of him, as if to confirm once again whether the person in front of him really came back.
"Master, it's my disciple who is unfilial." Nangong Jin knelt down, his voice choked.
In an instant, Elder Ling's tears could no longer be controlled.
"No, it's because I am too harsh on you." Elder Ling's voice was also choked with sobs, and he reached out to help Nangong Jin, but his hand pierced through Nangong Jin's body.
Seeing this, Elder Ling's heart was torn apart at this moment.
"It was Master who harmed you. It was Master's fault. You didn't have to go to that secret realm back then. I was too demanding on you. I always asked you to protect the junior brothers, so you suppressed your cultivation and didn't break through and enter that secret realm with the junior brothers." Elder Ling was already in tears, blaming himself.
"No, Master, why do you think so? Everything is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with Master." Nangong Jin only then knew that Master had been living with such a self-blaming attitude all these years.
For a moment, he was also heartbroken.
"It's Master's fault, it's all Master's fault. I insisted on you becoming a great master and didn't let you have any chance to retreat, which led to such a tragedy. It's Master's fault..." Elder Ling was in tears, blaming himself constantly.
Nangong Jin shook his head, his expression sad: "It is my unfilial disciple that makes the master feel so guilty.
It is not that the master is harsh on the disciple, but that the disciple feels that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. As a senior brother, shouldn't I protect the disciples of this sect?
I have never regretted my decision.
Since the accident, the senior brothers and junior brothers have protected me with all their strength and kept my soul from dispersing.
Since my death, the only thing I am worried about is you, the master.
So I have never given up, and have been holding on, wanting to see the master again."
Elder Ling could no longer control his emotions, and did not care that Gu Qingxi and Elder Zhang were right next to him. He cried uncontrollably and trembled all over.
Gu Qingxi stood quietly by the side, waiting for the master and disciple to stabilize their emotions.
Elder Zhang was on the side, and his nose was also sour.
For so many years, how Senior Brother Ling lived, they all saw it.
But no matter how they advised and persuaded him, it was useless.
Senior Brother Ling often sat on the edge of the highest point of the Cliff of Repentance for a year or so.
Just sitting there blankly, saying nothing and doing nothing.
Nangong Jin's death has almost become Elder Ling's inner demon.
And now, Nangong Jin is back, and Senior Brother Ling is finally alive.
After a long time, the emotions of Nangong Jin and Elder Ling slowly stabilized.
Elder Ling learned what happened from Nangong Jin. He stood up straight, turned his head to look at Gu Qingxi, and performed the most solemn ceremony to Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi hurried to support her, but Elder Ling insisted on completing this ceremony.
"Miss Gu, I, Ling Pu, will remember your great kindness in my heart. If you need anything in the future, just speak up." Elder Ling said solemnly, his tone full of gratitude. "
You are too polite. This time, it was also thanks to the warning of Fellow Daoist Nangong that we were able to detect the problem in the secret realm." Gu Qingxi waved her hand and said sincerely.
"That's all thanks to Miss Gu, who is a spiritual practitioner. It's also thanks to Miss Gu's strength and outstanding ability that she was able to lead the monks to break through the secret realm and return safely." Elder Ling's tone was more sincere.
He was really grateful to Miss Gu. If it weren't for her, he would never see his beloved disciple again in this life.
And he would never be able to forgive himself in this life!
