Chapter 5 Immortal Lord 005%
…
Gu Tianci received the order from his master and went to pick up Qu Yaoyao in person.
He disliked the daughter of the sect leader from the bottom of his heart. He lingered in the Immortal Ruins for a long time before slowly walking out of the Delusion Ruins with his sword in his arms.
I thought that the impatient girl would make fun of him again, but when he came out of Wangxu, he found Qu Yaoyao squatting on the ground looking at the flowers and plants on the roadside.
The Delusion Immortal Ruins was a blessed land rich in spiritual energy, and even beyond the ruins, the aura was also felt, with rare flowers and plants growing on both sides of the road. Qu Yaoyao crouched down to admire the beautiful flowers and plants while chatting with the disciples guarding the gate. "So you guys take care of these flowers regularly? No wonder they're growing so well."
"With so many people coming in and out here every day, will anyone pick them?"
The disciple guarding the gate didn't know Qu Yaoyao's identity and was quite happy chatting with her. "Who dares?"
The disciple was very proud. "Although our Qingxi Immortal Venerable didn't stipulate that these flowers cannot be picked, this is his territory after all. No one dares to touch the Immortal Venerable's things, not even a single flower."
Qu Yaoyao listened carefully and nodded in agreement. She poked and tested him secretly, "From what you said, it seems that Immortal Qingxi really likes flowers."
"Of course!" The gatekeeper blew with his eyes closed.
In fact, he didn't know whether Qingxi liked flowers or not. He just thought that since Wangxu planted so many flowers and plants, the Immortal Venerable must like them. "Our Immortal Venerable Qingxi is not only a flower lover, but also often rescues some spiritual beasts and pets."
The more Qu Yaoyao listened, the happier she became. Her eyes curved into a sweet crescent shape as she smiled. "I love flowers, too. I also like animals!"
I also like Qingxi Immortal!
Raising her little face, Qu Yaoyao was about to ask more about Qingxi when she suddenly found Gu Tianci standing at the border of Wangxu. He held the sword and looked at her for an unknown amount of time, with a complicated and stunned expression on his face.
"Come in with me." Gu Tianci came back to his senses.
He didn't believe that the overbearing young lady would change her nature. He just thought Qu Yaoyao was pretending. He kept a cold face and showed no good expression to her, walking quickly with big strides.
Qu Yaoyao uttered a sigh, lifted her skirt and hurried after him. Before leaving, she did not forget to say goodbye to the disciple guarding the gate. She was not angry about Gu Tianci's cold treatment. After all, she was just a small snow lotus. How could she understand what it meant to be targeted or disliked by others?
When they were almost at Chengyu Hall, Gu Tianci finally slowed down his pace and asked sternly, "Do you really know the whereabouts of the Cold Pond Snow Lotus?"
Qu Yaoyao was out of breath from chasing after him. She nodded, panting with her mouth slightly open, "I have it."
She acted so obediently and looked so harmless and sincere that it didn't seem like she was lying.
"I hope so." Gu Tianci still didn't fully trust her. Recalling his master's cold and gloomy mood due to the loss of the snow lotus, he was a little absent-minded. "Otherwise, you might..."
"What did you say?" Qu Yaoyao didn't hear Gu Tianci's last murmur clearly.
Gu Tianci hurriedly said, "Nothing."
Pushing open the door of the hall, he bowed slightly and said, "The Immortal Venerable has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in, Miss Qu."
“…”
Due to the loss of the Cold Pond Snow Lotus, the people in Wangxu were in panic, and the place looked even more deserted than when Qu Yaoyao came last time.
When she stepped into the gate of Chengyu Palace, she found that this was the most deserted and cold place. As the palace door closed heavily and the light dimmed, Qu Yaoyao got goose bumps for no reason.
It shouldn't be.
Qu Yaoyao stood by the door and rubbed her arms. As a cold lotus, she loved the cold the most, so she should have felt comfortable with this feeling.
The hall was extremely empty. Qu Yaoyao was unable to find Qingxi Immortal Venerable at first. She took a few steps inside and saw a row of screens in the middle dividing the rooms. She stopped and called out, "Immortal Venerable?"
The jade-inlaid screen is exquisite, and the screen fan is clean and carved with a few white lotus flowers, vaguely reflecting the outline of the back.
Qu Yaoyao couldn't see clearly inside, but Xie Qingxun could clearly see outside from inside. Leaning his forehead against the chair, he stared at the girl outside the screen with an expressionless face. After a moment, he responded coldly.
"I heard that Miss Qu knows the whereabouts of the Cold Pond Snow Lotus?" Having lost the snow lotus, Xie Qingxun was in a very bad mood and had no interest in beating around the bush with Qu Yaoyao.
Qu Yaoyao nodded, and thinking that Immortal Qingxi couldn't see it, she repeated her words softly.
She didn't directly admit that she was the snow lotus, fearing that if she said it too simply, the Immortal Venerable wouldn't believe her. On the way here, Qu Yaoyao pondered for a long time, hoping to trick the Immortal Venerable Qingxi into realizing that she was the snow lotus and confess her love to him.
What a great idea.
Qu Yaoyao said softly, "I heard that the lost one was the first snow lotus born in the cold pond. Is it very important to the Immortal Venerable?"
Xie Qingxun had never told anyone which snow lotus was lost in Hantan. His eyes turned cold, and he straightened up slightly, staring at the girl behind the screen and said, "It is indeed important."
"I personally raised it, and it is the most precious and precious one."
Qu Yaoyao felt as if she had eaten honey when she heard this, and she couldn't hide her bright smile.
Although she only met the Immortal Qingxi after she regained consciousness a hundred years ago, she was not unconscious before she regained consciousness and could sense the love and care that the Immortal Qingxi had for her.
“It’s the most beautiful, isn’t it?”
Qu Yaoyao's voice was sweet as she said joyfully, "Among those snow lotuses, the Immortal Venerable likes this one the most, right?"
Xie Qingxun's patience ran out. Instead of answering, he asked, "Where is that snow lotus?"
Qu Yaoyao insisted, "Exalted Immortal, please answer me first."
"yes."
Xie Qingxun's voice had already turned cold, and despite trying hard to lower it, it became tender and affectionate in Qu Yaoyao's ears, "I like it the most."
She also likes the Immortal Venerable the most! Qu Yaoyao answered in her heart.
As a pure and beautiful snow lotus, she didn't even feel shy when Qingxi Immortal Venerable lifted her clothes, so how could she feel shy and awkward about confessing her love? Her love was open and pure, and she believed that love should be expressed directly and in front of the person she loved.
So after Immortal Qingxi admitted his love for her, Qu Yaoyao was filled with passion and bravely went around the screen and ran to Xie Qingxun.
"Immortal Venerable..."
Qu Yaoyao wants to say that the little snow lotus also likes you the most.
Ever since she awakened her spiritual consciousness a hundred years ago and saw you for the first time, she has been overjoyed and has been thinking of you day and night. For this reason, she practices hard every day and desperately wants to transform, just to be able to stand in front of you in human form and express her love to you.
She really... likes you very much.
Her heart full of love was on the tip of her tongue, but when Qu Yaoyao ran behind the screen, the words that were about to come out were suddenly blocked.
Behind the screen, a large desk occupies a large space, with pens, ink, paper and inkstone neatly placed on the table, leaving a large open space.
Perhaps it was fate that blessed Qu Yaoyao, but the first thing she saw when she ran behind the screen wasn't the Immortal Venerable Qingxi, but the piece of ice silk paper spread across the table. Made from ice silk, the ice silk paper was incredibly delicate and lustrous, and the portraits painted on it were lifelike.
On the ice silk paper in front of Xie Qingxun was a portrait of a woman.
The girl in the painting is dressed in a white dress, with round eyes, dark eyebrows, and slightly pouty lips, her features are remarkably delicate and pure. The artist's delicate brushwork, combined with the beauty of the ice silk paper, brings the girl's delicate, innocent, and lively demeanor to life, making her extremely eye-catching and captivating.
"This, this is..." Qu Yaoyao's brain was buzzing and she pointed at the painting tremblingly.
The sweet affection she had accumulated vanished completely, and she didn't know what expression to use when she asked, "Is this... a painting by the Immortal Master?"
Beside the painting, several broken and shattered paintbrushes lay piled up, the tip of one still stained with paint that hadn't yet dried. Xie Qingxun hadn't yet blamed Qu Yaoyao for her collision, but when he saw her looking at the painting on the table with a strange expression, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How is it?"
He didn't deny it, but admitted it directly.
Qu Yaoyao wanted to cry, staring blankly at the painting. She heard Qingxi Immortal Venerable's calm voice: "Miss Qu, do you know this person?"
Qu Yaoyao was still staring at the painting, completely speechless.
After she transformed, she was eager to see the Immortal Lord. Although she did not see her transformed appearance, as soon as she saw the painting, she instantly felt that her original body had an outline, and her heart told herself that she should look like this.
The girl in Qingxi Immortal Venerable’s painting looks like her original body!
Qu Yaoyao was a little hesitant until she noticed a detail in the painting: a small white flower pinned to the girl's right ear. Qu Yaoyao remembered that she had picked it up from the ground and pinned it behind her ear on her way to find the Immortal Venerable.
How could Qingxi Immortal Lord have seen her original body?! How could...
Qu Yaoyao knew very well that the only people who had seen her original form were the fallen immortal and the tragically deceased young man. The young man was dead, and now the only one left was the Qingxi Immortal Venerable, who shared the same appearance as the fallen immortal.
Qu Yaoyao panicked a little, looking towards Qingxi tremblingly. She struggled desperately, refusing to face reality, "Where did the Immortal Lord see her?"
Xie Qingxun didn't answer, staring at Qu Yaoyao's face dimly, as if he were lost in thought. His fingers tapped the table, and after a moment, he spoke softly, "During the time when the Cold Pond Snow Lotus was lost, she was the only person who entered the Delusion Ruins without being summoned."
In other words, he suspected that the person in the painting had stolen the snow lotus.
After hearing this, Qu Yaoyao became even more flustered. "Who saw it? Why do you suspect she stole the snow lotus?"
Xie Qingxun: "I saw it."
A calm and indifferent voice instantly silenced Qu Yaoyao's repeated questions. Xie Qingxun stared at Qu Yaoyao's face and said word by word, "That night, I personally saw her break into the Delusion Ruins and act suspiciously. Miss Qu, do you have any questions?"
Qu Yaoyao had no doubts. The truth of being hammered to death was laid out before her. Qu Yaoyao felt weak all over and staggered back a few steps.
"So..." The world collapsed. Qu Yaoyao couldn't accept the fact. Her nose felt sore and mist spread across her eyes.
Xie Qingxun curled his lips slightly, "So what?"
So she hadn't mistaken him. The fallen immortal who had killed her that night and the immortal master in front of her were the same person! They were actually the same person!
The world was spinning around her, and Qu Yaoyao felt as if her world was falling apart bit by bit. One moment she saw the Immortal Lord gently accompanying her in the cold pond, and the next moment, she saw the Fallen Demon Immortal Lord covered in blood.
The picture freezes, finally stopping at that horrific night:
The dim candlelight shone on the fallen immortal's weird face. He felt the breath of the little snow lotus and looked up at the dense forest. His beautiful phoenix eyes were bewitching and dark.
[Did you see everything?] The fallen immortal from that night suddenly appeared behind her, his voice soft and low, and he gripped her neck with great force.
In reality, the Immortal Qingxi is dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with no blood on his body and no red-gold eyes.
When he stood up, his luxurious clothes dragged on the ground. He said in a leisurely tone with a hint of coolness, "What are you looking at?"
Like a demon and an immortal, they are obviously two completely different temperaments, but the strange thing is——
They are all integrated into Xie Qingxun.
.
Gu Tianci had been guarding outside Chengyu Palace and was ready to collect Qu Yaoyao's body, but he waited and waited but the Immortal Venerable did not call him in.
Qu Yaoyao has been in there for quite a while. She hasn't come out for such a long time. Could it be that she really knows the whereabouts of the Cold Pond Snow Lotus?
Could it be that she stole it? !
As Gu Tianci was lost in thought, the sound transmission mirror on his waist lit up, and the disciple guarding the Delusion Realm spoke: "Immortal Lord Tianci, the leader of the Medicine King Sect is carrying several corpses and wants to see the Immortal Lord."
"Corpse?!" Gu Tianci thought he had misheard. How could the Yaowang Sect be so bold as to offend his master at this time?
Faint crying sounds were heard in the mirror. Following the mirror, Gu Tianci saw several corpses covered with white cloth lying outside.
The disciple guarding the mirror said, "The Yaowang Sect's young master has been missing for several days. He was found this morning in the mountains behind his home. He and his twelve attendants were already dead."
Who is so cruel? !
Gu Tianci said solemnly, "I will report this to the Immortal Venerable right away."
Inside Chengyu Hall.
Qu Yaoyao was trembling all over and didn't even remember what she was doing here.
Having discovered the secret of Qingxi Immortal Venerable's fall from the devil, it would be foolish for her to still think of revealing her identity and confessing her feelings at this moment. Her face had already turned pale with fear. Seeing Qingxi slowly walking towards her, Qu Yaoyao retreated uncontrollably.
Woo, don't come over here.
The memory of the fallen fairy that night was too shocking for Qu Yaoyao to remain calm.
For every step Xie Qingxun took forward, Qu Yaoyao took two steps back. Eventually, unable to bear the shrinking distance between them, she sensed Qingxi raising his hand and, like a frightened rabbit, leaped up and tried to flee.
Bang--
Qu Yaoyao had already retreated to the edge of the screen and bumped into it headfirst.
She leaped up so quickly, the overwhelming force of her lunge causing the heavy screen to sway slightly, and Qu Yaoyao herself was stunned. Before she could retreat, an ice-blue magical snake spread from her ankles and coiled around her, instantly restricting her movement.
"Why are you running?" A pale, beautiful hand appeared in sight.
Xie Qingxun held up the screen with one hand, and his slender figure completely enveloped Qu Yaoyao, silently pressing against her back.
Qu Yaoyao felt like she was in his arms, trembling with fear, not daring to move. With her back to Qingxi, she couldn't see his expression, and her senses were magnified. Forcing herself to remain calm, her voice trembling, "Immortal, Immortal Venerable, I suddenly remembered something urgent. I need to return to the sect to deal with it..."
Xie Qingxun listened quietly, his free hand falling on her shoulder.
Slowly moving upwards, he slid his hand to the slender, white neck, slightly closing it and leaning forward, "You haven't told me where the Cold Pond Snow Lotus is."
If I can't say it now, I'm going to die.
