Chapter 23 The General's Doubts
He Qing held a flashlight while helping them rescue their beloved plants and suggested, "I think planting exotic plants will last longer."
"You don't understand! The original Blue Star plants are more challenging! There is no sense of accomplishment in growing exotic plants!" someone retorted fiercely.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The people around immediately echoed, with green light flashing in their eyes.
He Qing thought about it and thought that if he had spiritual power, he could indeed grow plants on Blue Star better, so he agreed: "You are right."
“Hey, I recommend writing your graduation thesis on rice!”
Everyone looked at Shi Lei: Damn, Shi Lei is really evil! This is too difficult!
He Qing shook his head and refused: "I still think the Piranha Plant is cute."
"..." Now everyone was silent. He Qing, you are nothing like what the rumors said!
"Well, let's move faster!" Shi Lei broke the silence.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Everyone reacted and pretended they didn't hear anything.
He Qing smiled and surrounded the plants with his classmates. He was also covered in water and mud like them. He Qing looked down at himself and said, "I'll go wash up."
"Let's go back and wash together. I still have two watermelons left! I'll treat you tonight!" Shi Lei was full of generosity and waved his hand to lead everyone back.
He Qing clasped his hands together silently. It turned out that the last two were in Shi Lei's hand. That meant it was a tie with the instructor. The instructor stole one and gave one back in return, which was fair.
He Qing followed at the end of the team, then turned back without making a sound. He performed a cleaning trick on himself and ran to the man-eating lantern flower tree. When he looked up, he saw a loud thunder in the sky.
He Qing wiped the water droplets from his forehead, lowered his head, took out the few spirit stones he had, and set up a formation around the lantern flower.
Sun Tu took one look and complained: [What a waste.]
"I hope it goes well." He Qing walked over and touched the trunk of the tree, inputting spiritual power into it, then walked a little further away to observe. It wasn't long before the lightning in the sky struck down, striking the lantern flower directly, and the flowers on the top of the tree were burnt.
The second flash of lightning followed, and at this moment a transparent protective cover rose in the sky.
He Qing felt relieved. It seemed that the school also knew that something was wrong with the thunder cloud this time. The lantern flower absorbed the spirit stone and became full of vitality again.
"He Qing." Suddenly someone called him from behind.
He Qing was stunned and looked back. Duan Chenhui was walking towards him with an umbrella. He was still wearing a military uniform and seemed to have rushed over.
"Why is the general here?"
"I heard you were here, so I came to pick you up." Duan Chenhui came over and shielded him from the rain with an umbrella. "The recent thunderstorm is a bit dangerous, go back."
"...It is indeed quite dangerous. I helped my classmates to surround the plants." He Qing glanced at Duan Chenhui, and suddenly wondered if Duan Chenhui was really just stopping by.
Duan Chenhui smiled and looked at his clean clothes: "Then you must have helped with the flashlight."
"..." He Qing said calmly: "Indeed."
"Then let's go back." Duan Chenhui glanced at Lantern Flower and turned around to leave with him.
He Qing sighed and had to quietly leave his Yuanying behind to watch the lantern flowers. Then he followed Duan Chenhui out, got in the car and returned home. After taking a shower, the housekeeper carefully brought him some snacks.
He Qing sat down and looked at the yellow transparent dessert and asked, "Osmanthus cake?"
"Well, let's try Tianhai Restaurant's new product." Duan Chenhui had just finished taking a shower. He sat down and took out the remote control. "Do you want to watch a movie?"
He Qing took his own snack and poked the pastry with a fork: "Xianxia movie."
"Um?"
"Well... science fiction movies are fine too." He Qing smiled, picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite.
Duan Chenhui pressed the button, and the surroundings immediately darkened, and a light screen rose up. Duan Chenhui handed him a helmet: "It's holographic."
He Qing took it curiously and put it on. It was his first time watching a holographic movie. After putting it on, he found that he was actually watching the movie with the camera's vision. The movie started very quickly. After watching for a while, He Qing found that it was about traveling through time and space. He didn't know whether Duan Chenhui did it intentionally or unintentionally.
He Qing watched carefully, and suddenly heard Duan Chenhui's voice: "Although we now have curvature flight, we are still in this universe. The research institute is making new attempts recently."
He Qing was shocked: "You want to travel through this universe to other worlds?" What's the difference between this and a cultivator? Even without magic tools, they can use high technology to travel through time. He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
"But I don't know if there are other worlds outside this universe. So far, we have not touched the edge of this universe." Duan Chenhui added.
"I don't know either. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't..." He Qing touched the Buddhist beads on his chest to calm himself down.
Duan Chenhui smiled and said, "If the experiment is successful, the prisoners will not be able to escape even if they flee to the ends of the earth."
"..." He Qing paused while picking up the Buddhist beads. He suspected that Duan Chenhui was hinting at something, but he remained calm. "Even the criminals don't have this skill."
"Indeed." Duan Chenhui said this and didn't say anything else.
He Qing quietly took off his helmet, turned his head and stared at Duan Chenhui for a long time. If he ran away, Duan Chenhui would not be so crazy as to chase him to the world of cultivation, right?
He Qing quickly shook his head and stood up. It shouldn't be the case. The general is not such a person. He looked at Duan Chenhui again, touched his chest, and walked back to the room with light steps.
After opening the door of the room, the thunder clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. After a while, his Nascent Soul returned, but there was still something on its back.
He Qing grabbed his Nascent Soul and pulled down the sapling, and the sapling made a whimpering sound.
He Qing raised it and asked, "How did you follow me?" If the lantern tree ran away, wouldn't it leave a big hole? It would become the headline news in the school the next day.
The lantern tree used its tentacle-like roots and two leaves to hold on to him, and no one knew what it meant.
"Can't you change into a human form?" After He Qing said that, the lantern tree quickly grew larger and occupied the entire room, almost lifting the ceiling of the general's mansion.
He Qing pushed aside the vines that blocked his view and thought for a moment. It seemed that it was impossible.
Sun Tu spoke up at this time: [It is probably because the spiritual power here is not enough. His human form may be a baby. It must be hungry.]
"Then you can become smaller?" He Qing took out a flower pot, "Come, come in here."
The lantern tree twisted its limbs and slowly shrank. At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "He Qing, are you in the room?"
He Qing looked at the lantern tree and whispered, "Hurry up." Then he said to Duan Chenhui, "Yes, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so I came up."
"And now?"
"Nothing happened."
"I'll call a doctor to come and see you."
He Qing quickly stuffed the lantern tree into the bathroom of the room, quickly tidied up the things around him, and ran to open the door: "I'm fine, let's continue watching the movie."
"Hmm." Duan Chenhui glanced inside and suddenly saw many tentacles twisting in the bathroom glass. Duan Chenhui was silent for a moment. Is this a tentacle monster? Or is He Qing a tentacle monster...
He Qing quickly closed the door and said to Duan Chenhui with a smile: "General, where did you see it?"
"You haven't finished it yet, you can watch it again." Duan Chenhui remained calm, turned around and took him downstairs, but his steps were a little heavy, "But it's late, let's go to bed after you finish watching it."
"Yes." He Qing breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs with him. Then the two of them pretended to watch the movie happily. He Qing ran back to the room and coaxed the lantern tree that had just blossomed into the flowerpot.
In the end, the other party refused and pointed outside.
He Qing looked at him and asked, "You want to go back again?"
The lantern tree twisted its branches and nodded.
Sun Tu cursed: [What a troublemaker! Why don't you just stew it? It should be very nutritious. ]
He Qing felt that Sun Tu's words were too hellish, so he had to take out the spirit stone and feed it to the lantern tree first.

On the other side, Duan Chenhui also returned to the room. He sat in front of the desk and pondered for a moment. He couldn't help but turn on the light screen to contact Qiao Yi.
Duan Chenhui: [Is it possible for a new race to exist in this universe? ]
Qiao Yi: [Of course it’s possible, but you’d better not show up again. It’s very troublesome every time, and the chance of a war is very high.]
Duan Chenhui nodded: [You are right, maybe I am overthinking. ]
Qiao Yi asked curiously: [What are you overthinking about? ]
[Nothing, good night.] Duan Chenhui turned off the terminal and thought of the shadow. It could be that He Qing raised something. He couldn't be a tentacle monster...
Duan Chenhui suddenly felt a headache. It must be the result of his amnesia.
