Chapter 22 Immortal Lord 022%
I don’t know if Qu Yaoyao is too sensitive, but she always feels that Xie Qingxun cares a lot about the name Chong’an.
The fingers hidden in her sleeves folded slightly, and she pretended to be calm and asked, "Who is Chong'an?"
Xie Qingxun stared at her expressionlessly, his eyes dark and devoid of any true emotion, trying to find a flaw in her face. After a long pause, he scoffed, turned his gaze away, and muttered softly, "Forget it."
Who is Chong'an? He is nobody, and he doesn't even exist in this world.
Bang--
The palace door closed and shut in front of Qu Yaoyao.
As soon as Xie Qingxun left, she hurriedly got up from the ground and anxiously pushed the palace door. However, just like before, before she could escape from behind the screen, the palace door disappeared and a thick white curtain appeared, trapping her inside again.
Xie Qingxun didn't intend to let her leave.
"Let me out!" Qu Yaoyao tried to find a way out.
The wound on her shoulder hadn't healed yet, and now her spiritual power had dissipated. After a while of struggling, she gradually lost her strength. The pendant around her neck flickered faintly, and Chong'an wearily called out to her, "Yaoyao."
Qu Yaoyao took out the pendant and her spiritual consciousness entered instantly.
The pendant was still a sea of crimson, a crimson lotus fire blazing before her, a faint glimpse of a phoenix spreading its wings as it emerged from the flames. Qu Yaoyao hadn't seen Chong'an in a long time, and she could hear something strange in his voice. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern.
Chong'an did not answer.
Beneath the rising crimson lotuses, a human figure shimmered in the shimmering flames. Chong'an struggled to separate himself from the flames, his crimson hem ablaze, his entire body seemingly engulfed in flames.
"Does it hurt?" Walking in front of Qu Yaoyao, Chong'an raised his hand to touch her chin which was cut by the bone fan, and his empty fingers passed through her cheek.
Qu Yaoyao nodded and then shook her head, then smiled and replied, "It was a little painful just now, but it's much better now."
Chong'an's expression could not be seen clearly through the mask on his face. He only murmured, "He always hurts you."
A small flame shot out from the fingertips, and disappeared when it rubbed against Qu Yaoyao's chin. The pain disappeared, and Qu Yaoyao groaned and touched her chin, only to find that the long scar was gone.
"What happened during the days I was away?" After Chong'an fell asleep, he could not always grasp Qu Yaoyao's movements. This time he woke up because Xie Qingxun injured Qu Yaoyao with the jade bone breaking fan, and he had to be forced to wake up.
Qu Yaoyao was afraid that Chong'an would ask about this matter, so she lowered her head guiltily. She hesitated, not knowing how to start, and only whispered, "I'm sorry."
If she had not disobeyed Chong'an and stayed in Yunta Town, the group of cultivators would not have discovered her existence, and there would not have been the incident at Longyun Tower later.
"Look up." Seeing that Qu Yaoyao was too embarrassed to speak, Chong'an sighed lightly and decided to find out for himself.
Xuxu placed his fingertips on Qu Yaoyao's forehead. He closed his eyes and saw the scene after Qu Yaoyao jumped out of the window and left under the flickering red light. Scene after scene flashed by, and finally stopped at the moment when Xie Qingxun locked her in the bedroom, Chong'an frowned, opened his eyelashes, and his red-gold eyes were gorgeous.
"But didn't I tell you he's not a good person?" Chong'an's voice was a little hoarse, "Why do you still stay with him?"
Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Knowing she was in the wrong, she could only continue to apologize: "I'm sorry."
"He saved me twice back then, and I thought, I thought..." It was too late to say anything now. Qu Yaoyao rubbed her eyes and whispered, "I was wrong."
"Chong'an, please don't be angry."
Chong'an was stunned for a moment, "I'm not angry with you, it's him who's wrong, not you."
It was because his little Xuelian was too kind that she was deceived and hurt repeatedly. She did nothing wrong, and it was those who hurt her who deserved death.
"Let me see the wound on your back." Chong'an knew that his tone just now was too harsh, so he tried to soften it.
Qu Yaoyao immediately undressed in front of him, exposing a large area of her fair skin to the air. Chong'an was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Qu Yaoyao didn't feel any discomfort, he raised his hand to help her heal her wounds and warned her: "Don't undress in front of men casually in the future."
"Why?" Qu Yaoyao blinked, not quite understanding.
Chong'an thought about the wording, "There are differences between men and women."
“Men do seem to be different.”
Qu Yaoyao understood Chong'an's explanation very simply. Thinking of what she saw in the bath, she said to Chong'an excitedly, "I just saw Xie Qingxun without clothes. His skin is so white. I don't notice anything on weekdays, but when he took off his clothes, his legs are so long. From the waist down, it's almost all legs. I'm so envious of him."
Qu Yaoyao touched her chest and turned her head to show Chong'an, "He's flat here, and his waistline looks very firm. The most important thing is..."
"Enough." Chong'an's hands trembled, and he quickly stopped her from saying the next words.
After reading Qu Yaoyao's memories, he knew what happened in the bathroom. Seeing it himself was one thing, and hearing it from the girl he liked was another. Chong'an was in a complicated mood at this time. It took him a long time to remember to teach Qu Yaoyao a lesson, "Don't tell this kind of thing to others in the future."
"Can't I tell anyone?" Qu Yaoyao looked very regretful. She wanted to share it with Yunzhi and Qu Yushu.
Chong'an was choked by her, "Who else do you want to tell?"
"Yaoyao, this kind of private matter is enough for you to know, and you must not tell others about it."
Qu Yaoyao was very straightforward, "But I didn't say anything nonsense, what I saw was true."
"Then you must not tell anyone else." Chong'an felt that he needed to talk to her about the ways of the world, but time was running out. It would not be easy to teach this simple little flower and it would take a lot of time.
"The wound on your body was caused by the Golden Dragon and is not easy to heal. If I heal you directly, it will arouse Xie Qingxun's suspicion. From now on, you can come once every night, and I will help you force out the Dragon Spring."
Qu Yaoyao nodded, then asked, "Why do we need to force out the Dragon Spring? Doesn't it help me cultivate?"
Chong'an paused, "He's lying to you."
"Don't trust him anymore."
Lost skills can be cultivated again, but once trust is broken, it is difficult to rebuild. Qu Yaoyao already knew that Xie Qingxun was bad, but she didn't expect that he was always thinking about harming her. She didn't understand, "Why did he do this to me..."
Chong'an didn't say anything, or rather, he couldn't answer.
After a long time, he came up with an answer, "Maybe, it's because he doesn't love you yet."
Or maybe he was just such a disgusting person.
Qu Yaoyao felt a little uncomfortable, "Even if I don't love you, do I have to hurt you?"
This time Chong'an really couldn't answer. He wanted to touch the sad girl but could only walk past her. After sitting quietly with her for a while, he suddenly called her, "Yaoyao."
"Do you hate Xie Qingxun?"
Qu Yaoyao shook her head blankly, "I don't understand what hate means."
"I just don't like him, I hate him and I despise him. He hurts you repeatedly, don't you want to retaliate?"
Qu Yaoyao continued to shake her head, "I really don't like him anymore. He hurt me and I'm very sad, but I haven't thought about getting back at him. I just want to leave him and see the outside world, and have nothing to do with him anymore."
After all, it would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for him. Xie Qingxun had protected her for thousands of years, no matter what his intentions were. She just considered this as repayment for his kindness, and it would be fine once it was paid off.
Chong'an didn't seem to expect Qu Yaoyao to answer like this, and all the words he had prepared were stuck in his mouth. Qu Yaoyao didn't get any response from Chong'an, and turned her head to find him staring at her.
"What's wrong?" Qu Yaoyao felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her. "Did I say something wrong?"
Chong'an hummed: "You don't owe him anything. He hurt you and you shouldn't be soft-hearted and do nothing. You will understand in the future that you will never be happy unless he dies."
Qu Yaoyao felt something was wrong and asked, "Then what should I do?"
"Pour dragon spring water on him? Draw a terrifying talisman to scare him? Or lock him up in the underground palace?"
Thinking back to what Xie Qingxun had done to her, Qu Yaoyao tried hard to think of revenge. At this moment, she heard a laugh. Chong'an laughed softly, his face half covered by the mask, but his handsomeness was still visible. He curled his lips and uttered a few words: "You should kill him."
“…”
Xie Qingxun's action of protecting Qu Yaoyao that night completely angered the Yaowang Sect.
Hua Tianhai lost his biological son, and now his adopted son was seriously injured by Xie Qingxun. Xie Qingxun's series of actions completely disregarded his Yaowang Sect, and their years of friendship were torn apart.
"You bastard Xie Qingxun!" Hua Tianhai was so furious that he dared to address Immortal Venerable Qingxi by name. He threw the things on the table and said, "Do you really think that you are the only one who can leave my Yaowang Sect?"
Hua Er also hated Xie Qingxun. He had injured his meridians and now had to sit in a wheelchair when traveling. Seeing this, he coughed and asked, "Does godfather have any good ideas?"
As one of the two masters, Xie Qingxun is not someone they can easily overthrow.
Hua Tianhai knew this very well. He said with a gloomy face, "He's not the only Immortal Venerable in this world. No matter how powerful Xie Qingxun is, he can't be the master of the entire cultivation world. Since he's unfair, don't blame us for being unfair."
Hua Er's eyes lit up. He guessed something. "Godfather wants to seek refuge with Immortal Zi Cang?"
"But Immortal Zi Cang is Xie Qingxun's senior brother. Will he help us?"
Hua Tianhai sneered, "He's hoping we'll go to him for help."
The cultivators all call the two masters in the Immortal Ruins the Twin Emperors of the Cultivation World, but how can one world accommodate two emperors? Qingxi and Zicang appear to be brothers on the surface, but in fact they both want the other to die.
The Wanmen Immortal Sect, which seemed to be peaceful and united, had actually already been divided into several factions. Previously, Xie Qingxun had a slight advantage, but now it seemed that the situation was about to reverse.
.
Xie Qingxun had long expected that Hua Tianhai would betray him. When he appeared in Chengyu Hall, the hall was in chaos. Hua Tianhai not only invited Zi Cang Xianzun and the leaders of major sects, but even the head of the main sect was alarmed.
"Sorry for the long wait, everyone." A cold and clear voice echoed in the hall.
On the upper steps, a previously empty golden chair glowed with a brilliant blue light. Xie Qingxun appeared, clad in a splendid white robe. With his appearance, the noisy hall instantly quieted. He glanced indifferently at the people below the upper steps, his tone devoid of emotion, "Today is quite lively."
Hua Tianhai's eyes turned red when he saw him appear. He ignoring everyone's attempts to stop him, he fell to his knees and bowed respectfully to Xie Qingxun's right. "My son died tragically several days ago, and the murderer has not been caught yet. I beg Immortal Zi Cang to make a decision for Song'er and the Medicine King Sect!"
Hua Tianhai's words were very clever, and every sentence was full of deep meaning. Everyone present knew that the tragic death of the young master of the Medicine King Sect was the responsibility of Qingxi Immortal Venerable. Now this old guy was kowtowing to Zi Cang in front of Qingxi Immortal Venerable, which was completely a slap in the face of another person.
Xie Qingxun's expression remained unchanged. He looked to the right after hearing this. He seemed to have just noticed the man in purple clothes beside him and raised his eyebrows slightly. "So, Senior Brother is here too."
The Purple Cang Immortal Venerable's name is Pei Ziyi, and he is the eldest disciple of the Wanfa Saint Venerable.
Although he is not as stunningly handsome as Xie Qingxun, Pei Ziyi's appearance is also excellent. Unfortunately, there is a half-finger-long sword wound on his right eye. It was caused by Xie Qingxun's bone sword when they competed in a competition when they were young, and the wound cannot be healed.
Covering his right face with his hair, Pei Ziyi smiled and replied, "Junior brother, you haven't been to Zhenxu for a while, so I had no choice but to come here myself."
Coming here to reminisce about the past was a lie; his real purpose was to find trouble with Xie Qingxun. He feigned surprise as he looked at Hua Tianhai, his voice piercing the entire hall, "I am deeply saddened by Hua Song's death. First, tell me why the murderer cannot be apprehended."
Yes, what Hua Tianhai just complained about was that he couldn’t be caught, not that he couldn’t be caught.
Hua Tianhai looked up at Xie Qingxun and raised his voice, "Because the murderer is Qu Yaoyao from Xingyang Sect!"
Hua Tianhai hadn't given up on this. He didn't leave himself any way out this time, and he really intended to break off relations with Xie Qingxun. He not only revealed that Qu Yaoyao was the murderer, but also directly explained how Xie Qingxun had protected her and injured his adopted son, and that he was no longer worthy of being the master of the Immortal Ruins.
"Old Hua, I know you're heartbroken over the loss of your son, but please don't speak nonsense. It was Immortal Qingxi himself who found the murderer. If he wanted to protect you, how could he tell you the truth?"
"I heard that Qu Yaoyao escaped from the Wangxu Underground Palace to the lower realm. What is Wangxu? How could a young girl escape to the lower realm without the help of a master?"
"Master Zhao, if you have something to say, why not just say it? Why are you being so sarcastic here? Are you trying to say that Immortal Qingxi deliberately let Qu Yaoyao go?"
"Tsk, I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
Except for the people from Xingyang Sect, almost all the other five sects, four pavilions and thirteen peaks sent people. Everyone was talking to each other and favoring their respective masters. The scene was quite spectacular.
Pei Ziyi watched the show from the side and pretended to sigh: "Junior brother, look, what should we do?"
Xie Qingxun casually curled his hair, seemingly unconcerned about the mess below, "Brother, what do you think?"
"Brother, if you think you're wrong, you should admit it. You should hand over Qu Yaoyao and give everyone an explanation."
Xie Qingxun nodded his chin lightly, "I was indeed wrong."
Pei Ziyi was stunned. He didn't expect Xie Qingxun to be so easy to talk to this time. Before he could speak, Xie Qingxun said, "But Qu Yaoyao is safe."
"Whoever dares to touch her will be spared."
“…”
After all, how can we protect Qu Yaoyao?
Xie Qingxun had been pondering this question ever since he learned that Qu Yaoyao had the Cold Pond Snow Lotus within her body. He pondered this for a long time and realized that only by taking all the blame on himself could he save Qu Yaoyao and satisfy the people in Zhenxu.
When the local Shu hurriedly pushed open the door of the bedroom, Qu Yaoyao had just come out of the pendant and was sitting on the ground in a daze.
Their eyes met, one anxious, the other stunned. Di Shu strode forward and said, "Follow me to Chengyu Hall. Master will take all the blame for you."
Qu Yaoyao shrank back, refusing to let the ground touch her. "What do you mean by taking the blame for me? What crime have I committed?"
Realizing he had spoken out of turn, Di Shu quickly corrected himself, "Yes, yes, Miss Qu is innocent. We were the ones who were wrong before. Master has already cleared you of suspicion regarding the Hua Song incident. Now, I need you to speak in front of everyone."
Xie Qingxun had originally accused Qu Yaoyao of killing Hua Song, so if he wanted to save her, he had to retract his confession and claim she didn't kill anyone. If Qu Yaoyao didn't kill anyone, it meant that the Immortal Qingxi had wrongly accused a good person, and he had to shoulder the responsibility.
The complicated thing now is that Qu Yaoyao admitted to killing Hua Song because of the torture in the underground palace. Di Shu pleaded, "When you see Zi Cang later, tell him that I tortured you into confessing. You can scold me all you want, but please don't betray your master, okay?"
If Qu Yaoyao pointed out that it was Immortal Qingxi who tortured her, then his master would be guilty of a serious crime.
Qu Yaoyao hadn't reacted to this series of amazing reversals when she heard Chong'an's sneer in her ears, "Yaoyao, look, here's your chance to take revenge on him."
