"Madam, madam?"

"My wife is not in the room."

Late at night, Phoenix was tired after a whole day and had fallen asleep, but Qin Gengyun was not sleepy at all. After everyone had rested, he quietly got up and left the room.

Arrived at the door of Qiu Zhihe's house.

After calling softly, there was no response.

He stretched out his hand to touch the door, and ripples appeared on it. As expected, there was a magic circle.

If you enter rashly, my lady will be able to sense it immediately.

Qin Gengyun did not force the door open, because his spiritual sense had already discovered that there was no one in the room.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

A confused voice came from behind him. Qin Gengyun turned around and saw Liusu wearing a thin undergarment, with a pair of bare white legs stepping on the ground, as if she was woken up from a dream.

Seeing Qin Gengyun standing in front of Qiu Zhihe's door, Liusu suddenly opened her eyes wide:

"Wow, you really can't hold it back, are you planning to attack the young lady at night?"

Liusu ran to Qin Gengyun and pulled him away: "The young lady is already asleep. If you really can't hold it in, I'll help you!"

"Qin Gengyun, Su Su, what are you doing?"

Mo Xiaolan appeared in front of the two of them, looking surprised.

Liusu giggled, not caring about her sudden exposure, and walked up to Mo Xiaolan with her chest puffed out:

"Xiaolan, you came just in time. Let's go together, three of us! Ouch!"

Qin Gengyun took out a robe from his storage bag and put it on Liusu. He tapped her head and his voice became serious:

"My wife is not in the room. Where did she go?"

Liusu blinked her eyes: "The young lady is not here? I didn't know!"

Qin Gengyun stared at her and said in a deep voice, "Susu, you actually noticed it, right? Zhihe seemed a little strange when we checked the body just now. You were as worried as we were, so you came to find Zhihe quietly while everyone was asleep. Do you still want to hide it now?"

Liusu couldn't pretend anymore and pouted: "Son-in-law, you are getting smarter and smarter."

Noila Mo said, "Susu, what happened? Two people were killed just now. I'm worried that Sister Qiu is in danger."

Liusu shook her head: "I really don't know where the young lady went, I only know..."

A confident smile appeared on her face:

"The person in danger is definitely not her!"

…

More than ten miles outside the village, in a dense forest.

"Saintess, we have been hiding from place to place since the siege of Qinglian Mountain that day, and have barely survived until now. We have not heard from you. I wonder where you went after Tianlu Mountain?"

Xue Wu has recounted their experiences over the past two years, which were all difficult experiences of hiding their identities and positions.

They were all very concerned about how the Saint was doing these days, especially Xue Wen, who stared at Xia Qinglian's cold and beautiful face, his eyes never leaving her for a moment.

Xue Wen quietly pulled his sleeve, and Xue Wu finally reacted. He quickly lowered his head, but he was happy in his heart.

The saint is not dead, that’s great!

From now on, I will follow the saint at all times, protect her with my life, and never let her suffer any harm.

However, Xue Wen did not notice that after hearing Xue Wu's question, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Xia Qinglian's face.

She coughed lightly, and a smile appeared on her cold face:

"I was seriously injured and my cultivation level dropped drastically. I could only change my appearance and go to a small town in the Eastern Cultivation Land. When my cultivation level recovers, I will slaughter all three major sects and avenge all my fellow disciples!"

Xue Wen immediately shouted, "I am willing to follow the Saint Lady and will never leave her until death!"

The others also shouted enthusiastically.

Xue Wu was pleasantly surprised and said: "The Saint has comprehended the ancient method of transformation? That's great, this way you will be safe even in Dongxiu, but..."

Xue Wu hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Saintess, we are alone now. Even if you recover your cultivation, it will be difficult for you to defeat the enemy with a small number of people. If you want to avenge your hatred, I think you should first revive the Qinglian Sect, and then work slowly."

"How can that be possible?! Reporting the blood feud of the extermination of the clan in a single day would be a blasphemy to all of our fellow disciples and the sect master!"

The burly and rough Xue Wen suddenly widened his eyes and shouted:

"Saintess, as long as you give the order, we will charge into the village now and kill all the disciples of Zhenyang Sect first. Tomorrow we will charge into Zhenyang City and destroy Zhenyang Sect, then destroy Leijian City and kill everyone in Feiyun City!"

Xue Wu said: "Brother, calm down. The three major sects do deserve to die, but the people in the city did not participate in the siege of Qinglian Sect. If we kill everyone without distinguishing between good and evil, what is the difference between us and those hypocritical people from the three major sects?"

Xue Wen immediately glared at him: "When the three major sects besieged us, they didn't spare any of the dozens of villages in Qinglian Mountain. Xue Wu, your wife is a mortal, wasn't she killed by them as well? Have you forgotten that?!"

Xue Wu's face turned pale and his lips twitched slightly. His wife was an ordinary woman from Bairong Village at the foot of Qinglian Mountain, and they were very much in love.

On the day of the Qinglian Mountain massacre, Xue Wu's wife was weaving in the village, but she was caught by Huang Kezhou, an elder of the Feiyun Sect. She was tortured and then brutally killed.

When Xue Wu found her body, it was already in tatters, as if it had been eaten by wild beasts.

At this moment, the tragic scene was mentioned again by his brother Xue Wen. His eyes suddenly turned red and his voice choked, but he still said:

"Saint Maiden, please bear witness. The Qinglian Sect has been called the Demon Sect for many years, all because of the inexplicable death of our founder Sheng Tanglian five hundred years ago."

"Until our generation, we only occupied Qinglian Mountain and helped the nearby villagers. We may have acted recklessly from time to time, but we did not commit any great evil. However, we were still hated and loathed by the world."

Xue Wen snorted coldly: "It's those so-called famous and upright people who slander us all day long and deceive the stupid people of the world!"

Others echoed the sentiment, expressing indignation.

"But have you ever thought about why this is the case?"

Xue Wu asked.

Xue Wen said angrily: "That's because they occupy more territory than us, so what they say will naturally spread widely!"

Xue Wu nodded: "Yes, this is the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. If we want to take revenge, we should first change the image of Qinglian Sect in the eyes of the world."

"Let them know that we are not the Demon Sect. The three major sects that bully others and kill people wantonly are the real Demon Sects!"

"When that time comes, the whole world will be united, and we will be the righteous sect that defeats the demon sect. We will slaughter all those hypocrites, and the world will only applaud and regard our Qinglian sect as the only kingly way in the world!"

"Isn't this wonderful?!"

Xue Wu's words stunned the group of Qinglian Sect disciples.

They had never thought of such a crazy idea in their dreams.

Only Xia Qinglian's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light.

If it is true as Xue Wu said, and Qinglian Sect becomes a famous and righteous sect respected by the world, then she will not have to bear the name of a witch, and she can be with her husband openly and never have to be separated!

This was a path she had never thought of taking.

It may be more difficult than revenge, but if you can reach the end, you may get the most satisfactory ending.

But, is this path really feasible?
