Chapter 591 Forbidden Land
Xiao Changheng stared at her for a long time without saying anything, but a layer of frost gradually formed in his dark eyes.
Yun Qingqing met that gloomy gaze and felt a little disappointed.
But she had already thought about this matter thoroughly, and quickly suppressed the slight disappointment, revealing a gentle smile, and said in a frank tone:
"I don't really know how to be an ordinary wife, but I will try my best to learn. If you have any requests, that's fine..."
"Yun Qingqing," Xiao Changheng suddenly grabbed her wrist and stood up.
Being pulled like this, she had to stand up and look up at him, feeling a little confused.
Yun Qingqing could naturally see that he was in a bad mood, but she didn't understand why her words would annoy him.
Xiao Changheng took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice as cold as if soaked in frost and snow:
"A deal is a deal. My only condition is that you just have to do it. You don't have to act like this when there are no outsiders around."
Yun Qingqing bit her lip slightly. She could feel that he was holding her wrist with some force, but this degree was nothing to her, so she just let him hold it and didn't try to break free.
The only condition was no divorce. Yun Qingqing certainly remembered it very clearly.
"Well... you're right." She nodded in agreement, but she wasn't talking about that originally, so she continued, "But..."
She was unable to finish her next words as Xiao Changheng interrupted her coldly:
"Don't do anything unnecessary. I don't need your compensation."
Xiao Changheng gently shook off her hand, turned and walked out the door.
With his back to Yun Qingqing, the coldness in his eyes disappeared and became dim.
How could he hate her? How could he not like her approach? But she clearly had no interest in him, so why would she do such a show to compensate him?
He didn't want to drag her down, nor did he want her pity. It was hard enough to restrain his own delusions. If Yun Qingqing added to the pressure, Xiao Changheng was afraid that he would fail.
All he could do was to refuse decisively while he could still control his emotions.
Just as he strode to the door of the inner room, Yun Qingqing's voice suddenly came from behind him:
"So you're going to go out like this, are you planning on playing a quarreling couple?"
Xiao Changheng paused, without looking back, not knowing how to react. He was shocked by her strange angle.
He just said that she didn't have to act when there were no outsiders around, so she reminded him that there were other people outside the door, so he shouldn't mess up the act?
...This is indeed something she can do.
Xiao Changheng was speechless for a while, and the depression that had been blocking his heart just now dissipated a little.
He heard footsteps approaching from behind, turned around, and saw the little girl calmly approaching him, raised her eyes and curved her lips towards him:
"Although quarrels are inevitable between couples, it's not a good look for outsiders to see them, so why not?"
Xiao Changheng closed his eyes.
Although I just said such harsh words, she was not affected at all. It turned out that as long as you don't care, you will be invincible.
That's fine.
"...It's up to you." He turned his head silently and spoke in a low voice.
Yun Qingqing took his hand and walked out:
"Then let's go have breakfast. Taoist Feng Yin is still waiting. He said that there have been unusual movements in their forbidden area. We have to set off as soon as possible."
Xiao Changheng let her pull him and did not struggle.
Yun Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, she was really worried that this man would tear off the sachet and throw it in her face. After all, he looked really angry.
She had secretly hidden his name and their hair in the sachet. It would be so depressing if she was rejected like this.
So now that he neither threw the sachet in her face nor threw a tantrum and pushed her away, she was already content.
Yun Qingqing knew better than anyone that since Xiao Changheng had broken up with her, he would no longer have any feelings for her. This realization would pop up and sting her from time to time, but she believed that this little pain was nothing she could not bear.
She was not the type to seek trouble. Since things had come to this, there was no need to make things more complicated by letting him know that she had developed feelings for him.
Now she was only thinking about how to get along well with him and find a position that would not annoy him but could be closest to him.
There's nothing wrong with just continuing like this.
…
…
Feng Yin looked at the ancient mountain gate right in front of him and his jaw almost dropped.
In fact, he was a little anxious during breakfast. The unusual movement in the Changliu Forbidden Land was no small matter. In fact, he should have set off as soon as he received the news.
But his Mingling Mirror was shattered by the Regent. Since he could take him back to find out what happened, he still wanted to take him with him, so he waited until now.
However, Yun Qingqing was still able to serve the prince food leisurely and told him to eat more. Feng Yin urged him a few times, but she just said don't worry, she would not delay the trip.
At that time, Feng Yin just thought that she was too arrogant and might be thinking of using a wind-traveling talisman or something like that to speed up her journey.
The question is, can he do without the Wind Talisman?
If he had set out last night and used the Wind-traveling Talisman to travel, he should have arrived by noon today. However, Yun Qingqing delayed his departure until the morning, and he felt a little unhappy at that time.
Then I got slapped in the face.
When Feng Yin was about to set off, he just took out the Wind Travel Talisman when he heard Yun Qingqing say it was not necessary.
Then she casually drew a formation on the ground.
Then, in less than a quarter of an hour, the few people were already standing at the gate of Changliu Mountain.
It was only a quarter of an hour since finishing breakfast.
He finally understood that what Yun Qingqing said, "it won't delay the trip", had never been a lie.
Feng Yin silently raised his hand and subconsciously made a gesture to pull his beard, but he pulled nothing. Then he realized that because his training was interrupted, he had put away his disguise and returned to his original appearance.
"Master?" Yun Qingqing's voice brought him back to his senses. "Why don't you go in?"
Feng Yin put his fist against his chin and coughed, nodded, and took out a jade token:
"Let's go."
Yun Qingqing and the other person followed him towards the mountain gate. Someone inside had already noticed them and came over to greet them.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Feng? Didn't you go down to the mortal world to gain experience? Why are you back so early?" The disciple guarding the mountain seemed a little surprised.
"I received a message from my master, so I'm going to end it early." Feng Yin threw the jade token to him as a formality, and did not mention the forbidden area. He then said, "These two are fellow Taoists I met in the mortal world. I invited them to be my guests. I will take them to see my master first."
The disciple guarding the mountain did not think much about it and returned the jade token to him and let him go.
Yun Qingqing listened to the conversation between the two and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Mortal world" was the term used in her time, because once one entered the mysterious sect and practiced immortality, it was basically equivalent to completely cutting off the line between oneself and ordinary people.
But now, perhaps because the spiritual energy has been exhausted for thousands of years, the Xuanmen sect is no longer the same as before. She had contacted those sects before, but she had never heard of any of them still using the term "mortal world".
It seems that what Feng Yin said about having been in seclusion in Changliu Mountain and only recently preparing to make a comeback is indeed true.
After passing through the mountain gate and walking a short distance forward, Feng Yin led the two to a platform. They saw that there was a fixed teleportation array every few steps on the platform. There were dozens of them, large and small.
"It seems that your Changliu Mountain does have a profound foundation." Yun Qingqing said.
Feng Yin was proud and did not expect any return, so he also praised the other party:
"That's right, Pavilion Master has an extraordinary vision, haha."
As they were talking, the teleportation array lit up, and the three of them arrived at the door of the hall on the top of the mountain in a moment.
Feng Yin stepped out of the formation, straightened his clothes, and was about to enter the hall, but he saw Yun Qingqing suddenly turn his head, slightly squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.
He was stunned:
"What is the Pavilion Master looking at?"
Yun Qingqing's pupils lit up slightly, and she pointed to a hill in the distance and asked:
"Isn't that the forbidden place you mentioned?"
Feng Yin was stunned and said:
"How do you know?"
