Chapter 394: Obvious
Ji Wujiang originally thought that Tianquan could just send Qingpingzi and his men away.
But Qingpingzi's concern for Yun Qingqing's whereabouts was a little too obvious, so he came out in person, on the one hand to find out his real purpose, and on the other hand to intimidate the other party and ask them not to set their sights on Yun Qingqing.
Qingpingzi had not expected that he would be able to talk to this old ancestor during this trip, and his attitude immediately became much more respectful.
"Old Ancestor, to be honest..." He sighed, a little embarrassed, "I think you also know what happened last time. My Tianxuan Sect has a bad disciple, and we were going to take him back for a strict trial."
"At that time, Miss Yun said she would visit our sect in a few days, and I didn't think much of it. However, after that evil disciple Cang Huai was taken back, he still hasn't woken up. We tried everything but couldn't bring him back to consciousness."
"Later, I discovered that it was his soul that had been manipulated. Then I remembered that Cang Huai was knocked unconscious by Yun Qingqing's spell that day..."
The fourth elder burst out laughing:
"So, no one in your entire Tianxuan Sect can break the curse she cast, and you can't interrogate her even if you want to, so you have no choice but to ask her for help again?"
The old man's voice also had a hint of laughter:
"I see...that's definitely her style."
Qingpingzi's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
But the fact that he could talk to his ancestors still made him feel excited.
"Grandfather!" Qing Pingzi said politely, "I came here to find that little girl in order to break Cang Huai's curse. If you are willing to help me, I won't have to look for Yun Qingqing anymore."
If he still couldn't see by now that the elders and ancestors of the Seven Stars Hall were very protective of the little girl, then he would have lived in vain at such an old age.
That's easy to handle. The ancestors want to protect her and don't want her to go looking for them, so there's a high possibility that they'll help her.
However, the old ancestor chuckled and said:
"Since she said she would come to visit in person, I think it's to interrogate Cang Huai. I can't do anything about it, lest she come back to settle the score with me."
Qingpingzi was slightly stunned and shocked.
This old ancestor's attitude towards Yun Qingqing is too... doting, right?
But after listening to what the other party said, he suddenly understood the details of Yun Qingqing's various operations and speeches that day.
She deliberately used a spell to seal Cang Huai's consciousness, and no one else could break the spell!
She just wanted them to wait for her to interrogate Cang Huai together!
Well, now that Yun Qingqing is not here, no one can try the case!
After Qingpingzi figured this out, he was speechless.
"Then...she's no longer in the Seven Stars Palace, and she hasn't come to our Tianxuan Sect. If we don't know her whereabouts, how can we try her... Ancestor, please give me some advice!"
On the Xuanyuan Tower, Ji Wujiang was playing with a teacup, with a sly smile on his face, and his voice was that of an old man:
"What's so difficult about this? She is the regent princess of Liang State. No matter where she is now, she will return to her own palace sooner or later after she finishes her work."
Qing Pingzi understood and immediately bowed in thanks:
"I understand now, thank you for your guidance, ancestor!"
Qingpingzi went down the mountain with his two companions.
After leaving the mountain gate, he looked at the elder beside him:
"Junior Brother Qingchen, go back and inform everyone first. I will take Cangqi to the capital of Liang State."
Elder Qingchenzi was slightly surprised:
"Master, are you going to the Imperial Capital to look for that little girl yourself? Isn't it enough to let Cang Qi handle this?"
Qingpingzi sighed, flicked his whisk and said:
"This matter is not that simple. Didn't you see the attitude of that ancestor? He was clearly giving us a warning."
"I think the last time, the ancestor saw everything that happened between Cang Huai and Cang Rong. Cang Rong went down the mountain to gain experience and become a national teacher, which was reasonable, but his methods were unjust. The ancestor specifically mentioned the Imperial Capital to remind me that if this matter is not handled properly, the Tianxuan Sect will have to bear the consequences of the disciples' mistakes!"
Qingchenzi suddenly realized:
"So, Master Brother, this trip is not only to find that little girl, but also to clean up the mess for Cang Rong!"
Qingpingzi nodded:
"Our sect practices the Daoist sect, where merit and virtue are paramount... He is truly worthy of being our ancestor. If it weren't for his reminder today, this slight oversight could have planted a huge hidden danger in the future!"
The two old Taoists admired and were grateful to their ancestor.
Little did he know that a certain old man was sitting at the top of the tower, leaning against the window with a wicked smile:
"Tsk, you guys bullied my mistress last time! I won't tell you where she went, so you'll just have to make a few more detours, hahaha..."
…
…
Pingzhou.
Jinping Temple was still sealed and was entirely under the control of the Prince Regent's Palace.
Those monks who had lost contact with the Honghuang Temple were also imprisoned in the back mountain. From the outside, this temple had already moved to a new location, and it had been gradually forgotten by the people.
The top floor of the basil pagoda on the back mountain.
A flash of light passed by, and Yun Qingqing appeared in the center of the top floor, holding Xiao Changheng's waist.
The light and shadow before their eyes finally solidified into a real scene. After their gazes focused, they immediately scanned the surroundings slowly, without making any other movements for a while.
Yun Qingqing looked at the scene, which had changed a little but was still very familiar, and the memory of that day naturally emerged.
The man beside her had braved the rain all night, crossed most of Pingzhou, and arrived in front of her, soaking wet, to accompany her and withstand the thunderbolt together...
"Can you let go now?" A man's light voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Yun Qingqing tightened her fingertips, and immediately withdrew her hand, took a step back, and waved away the image in her mind.
Xiao Changheng looked at her quietly, walked to the edge of the fence and looked around.
"So, what do you want to investigate this time?" He asked casually while looking at the scenery below the tower.
Yun Qingqing summoned Dawn, her voice calm and composed:
"Qing Xuanzi doesn't know the true purpose of the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Formation, and I didn't understand it last time either. But I've gotten some new clues recently. I suspect they made such a big fuss last time just to attract the demonic thunder and smash the tower."
"This tower?" Xiao Changheng turned around, his face showing some interest.
"Why go to such great lengths to tear down a tower?"
Yun Qingqing threw Dawn into the air and said calmly:
"I want to know why, too, so I'm not here to investigate. Wait here, I'll be back soon."
As she spoke, she jumped onto Dawn and began to fly her sword in circles around the tower, spiraling downwards.
She flew very slowly, and it was obvious that she was carefully observing the tower, not intending to miss any details.
Xiao Changheng looked at her quietly for a while, with traces of sadness surging in his eyes.
It was obvious that he could only wait here and she didn't need his help at all, so why did she bring him here?
Xiao Changheng clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and suddenly felt ridiculous.
He never doubted her intentions.
He knew very well that she brought him here, firstly because they had experienced the last catastrophe together, and secondly, as long as she brought him along, even if he did nothing, she would tell him that he was helpful.
It's just about taking care of his feelings.
She always took his feelings into consideration, even if it was just out of moral obligation and because of the status of husband and wife that he tried every means to maintain.
Why hadn't I noticed such an obvious thing?
Because before he met her, he had always been the superior one.
He thought he was powerful and intelligent, and that he was the one who contributed the most no matter what he did. He could enjoy the admiration and care of everyone with peace of mind.
But in front of her, he actually had no capital.
Those people in the Seven Stars Palace hated him, and their hatred was not entirely without reason... After all, he was enjoying her indulgence without realizing it, which was actually a drag.
He had no excuse.
Xiao Changheng looked deeply at the little girl who had just flown to the seventh floor and was still carefully searching for clues inch by inch.
He slowly turned around and walked in another direction.
