Changsun Lingrui rode his horse to the outside of the high priest's house.
He observed that the high priest's mansion was heavily guarded, and he was afraid that he would be discovered as soon as he sneaked in.
I went around to the back door, hoping to find a loophole, but it was still in vain.
In the end, he could only choose to sit back and wait.
It was almost noon, and Qu Li still hadn't come out.
Suddenly, there was a tap on the shoulder.
His whole body tensed up, he turned his head and was stunned when he met a pair of familiar eyes.
"Cousin?"
Qu Li smiled, "Why are you waiting here? Is there something wrong?"
Changsun Lingrui felt more and more that Qu Li was a fairy who came to the human world to experience trials and tribulations. He had been staring at the door of the mansion and did not see her come out at all.
"This is not the place to talk, come with me."
After Qu Li returned to the High Priest's Mansion, he felt uneasy and always felt that something was going to happen.
She was worried about Feng Yi, so she simply entered the space and sneaked out of the High Priest's Mansion.
Seeing from afar that the man looked very much like his cousin, he walked over quietly.
The two of them came to a nearby restaurant, "Are you hungry?"
"Aunt, are you okay?"
"fine."
The high priest deliberately brought her to Xiling and would never do anything to hurt her. This is why Qu Li dared to return to the high priest's mansion and seek the skin of a tiger.
"Did something happen?" Qu Li asked again.
Changsun Lingrui hesitated for a moment and then expressed his doubts.
Qu Li leaned back, "I actually noticed something was wrong with Ling Yue a long time ago!"
"Cousin, don't mind it."
"I really don't care! But, Ling Rui, you should have heard a saying: anything that can be used by others must be something she already cares about."
Seeing the confusion on his face, Qu Li smiled, called the waiter over, and ordered some food.
"not understand?"
The dishes were served one after another, but Changsun Lingrui kept frowning, and Qu Li couldn't help but curl her lip.
"Cousin, I really don't understand!"
The Changsun family has excellent family education, the brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, and there has never been any intrigue or deception.
Moreover, they are still young. They have Chang Sun Chi for martial arts, Chang Sun Li for literature, and Chang Sun Wu for scheming. It can be said that they are well protected and have never understood the treacherous human hearts.
"If a person doesn't harbor hatred in his heart, even if you hand him a knife and force him to hurt someone, he will definitely not do it. On the other hand, if you hand him a knife, he will wield it and hurt someone without thinking."
Changsun Lingrui seemed to understand but not quite.
"Eat! When you're full, go back and think about it slowly!"
"I'm sorry, cousin."
"You're not the one who did something wrong. Even if you apologize, you don't need to take Ling Yue's place!"
"Cousin, can you promise me one thing?"
"Don't bother with Ling Yue?"
Changsun Lingrui lowered the corners of his lips and said nothing.
Qu Li leaned back again, a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "I have made it very clear just now, it's not you who did something wrong, you don't need to apologize on her behalf! Similarly, it's not you who did something wrong, so there is no need for you to plead for her!"
Her eyes were filled with indifference and alienation. Changsun Lingrui's breathing tightened, fearing that she would get angry and completely cut off ties with the Changsun clan.
If his grandfather knew about this, he would definitely scold him.
"Feel sorry."
"Everyone should pay the price for the mistakes they have made. I am not a saint, and I am not that tolerant!"
Changsun Lingrui clenched his chopsticks and stopped trying to plead for Changsun Lingyue.
Just like Qu Li said, if Changsun Lingyue didn't have evil thoughts in her heart, she wouldn't be easily taken advantage of.
If a person has evil thoughts and does something that hurts others, she deserves to pay the price.
I understand the truth, but I still feel uncomfortable.
My heart felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton wool, making it feel stuffy and bloated.
Qu Li asked Changsun Lingrui to go back and not get too involved, and she went to the Shadow Pavilion's branch in Xiling.
"What did you say?"
When Qu Li learned that Feng Yi had actually gone to Black Wind Cliff, his lips were trembling.
She turned and hurried out.
Feng Yi happened to come back and their eyes met, and she was terrified.
"Li'er!"
Seeing her red eyes and lips moving violently, Feng Yi's heart began to twitch and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Why do you want to go to Black Wind Cliff?"
She had been down there before, and even with modern advanced ropes and a gas mask, she didn't dare to explore the Black Wind Cliff rashly.
Feng Yi, on the other hand, just ran away without caring about anything.
Doesn't he know that if something happens to him, she will feel sorry, sad, and worse than death?
Facing her red eyes, Feng Yi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a pair of hands, and breathing became more and more difficult.
Lao Mo glanced at the two of them and left silently.
Feng Yi came to Qu Li and tried to hug her, but she punched him hard.
This punch doesn't hurt.
Feng Yi let her vent. After beating her, he held her hand and kissed her on the lips.
Qu Li's voice was hoarse, "Do you know you are wrong?"
"Um."
"Will you sneak around to such dangerous places like this again in the future?"
"No."
He thought that he had superb martial arts skills and could easily go down and find out what was going on.
However, Black Wind Cliff is not only steep in terrain, but also has a large amount of miasma.
Not to mention going down, even if you stand on it for a long time, you will find it difficult to breathe.
Feng Yi knew that Changsun Wuque was a thorn in Qu Li's heart. Now that she had found her relatives, she would go looking for her biological father regardless of anything.
He wanted to help her share the burden, but it was really too difficult.
For more than twenty years, he had been basically occupied by loneliness and humiliation. Qu Li was like a candy given to him by God by accident.
He holds what he wants firmly in his hands, and once he feels that life is bitter, he licks it gently.
He will take good care of it and doesn't want to lose it.
"Are you sure you're not joking?" She didn't blink, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Then what do you want me to do? Swear?" As he said that, he raised three fingers.
Those vicious oaths were about to spill out of his mouth when Qu Li covered his lips.
"I believe it!"
A smile appeared between his brows and he kissed her palm lightly.
Feeling itchy, Qu Li glared at him uncomfortably.
"Okay, now that you're here, go in first."
The two entered the Shadow Pavilion branch. Lao Mo asked someone to prepare tea. After it was brought in, he obediently left, leaving the space to them.
"Why do you suddenly want to come here?" Feng Yi poured her a cup of tea.
"Your eyelids have been twitching non-stop. I was worried about you, so I came here! You haven't told me yet, why did you suddenly run to Black Wind Cliff?"
Feng Yi wanted to hide it, but Qu Li grabbed her wrist.
"Did you know that when people lie, their pulse speeds up?"
Feng Yi: “…”
"Don't try to lie, just tell the truth!" She had a stern face and her eyes were as sharp as a knife.
