It was not until Shangguan Hong entered the sect that she and Ye Chenge became inseparable good friends. At that time, they were only about ten years old, and both were innocent and childlike children.
"If you are good friends, why are you fighting now?" Wu Bai asked in confusion.
"Don't be impatient, just listen to me slowly." Qu Xingzhu said helplessly.
Five years ago, a male disciple named Qiu Zhi came to the sect. Because he had a golden spiritual root, he became a disciple of Jian Feng. At that time, Leng Sen had been in seclusion for more than a year.
Ye Chenge was in charge of all the disciples at Jianfeng. Qiu Zhi was new to the sect, so Ye Chenge paid more attention to him than to the others.
Shangguan Hong went to look for Ye Chenge many times, but never saw Ye Chenge. The two did not meet again for a long time.
No one knew who had spread the rumor that Ye Chenge liked Qiu Zhi. Shangguan Hong was angry and repeatedly went to cause trouble for Qiu Zhi. It was at that time that Ye Chenge had a big fight with Shangguan Hong.
Shangguan Hong was an arrogant person by nature and naturally could not stand being ignored, so during that period Qiu Zhi was often bullied by Shangguan Hong.
Qiu Zhi was a calm person. Although he had never complained to Ye Chenge, Ye Chenge knew Shangguan Hong's temper and what she had done to Qiu Zhi. Due to their past friendship, Ye Chenge could only persuade her kindly.
Later, Leng Sen came out of seclusion and had a mission to send disciples down the mountain. In order to let Qiu Zhi get familiar with the sect, Ye Chenge took Qiu Zhi down the mountain with him.
But for some unknown reason, Ye Chenge and other disciples were recalled by the sect, leaving only Shangguan Hong, Qiu Zhi and some junior disciples at the foot of the mountain who had not returned to the sect.
"Senior brother, this Qiu Zhi...how come I have never heard of him?" Wu Bai asked anxiously.
"How could you hear that? He... is dead." Qu Xingzhu sighed regretfully.
If Qiu Zhi could live, his cultivation would have reached the Golden Elixir stage. Single spirits are extremely rare, but Qiu Zhi died in his youth.
"Then what?" Wu Bai frowned.
"There is nothing else. Qiu Zhi died, and Senior Sister Shangguan was the only one by his side." Qu Xingzhu said softly.
"Ah? Then..." Wu Bai lowered her voice. "So, Senior Sister Shangguan was responsible for Qiu Zhi's death?"
Qu Xingzhu shook his head, and left with the bamboo slips without saying anything.
Only Shangguan Hong knew what happened at that time.
