But when he thought that he could not use his high-level skills casually in this world, and that this boy in front of him, who was only twenty years old, already had the terrifying strength of the Spirit Severing Stage, he might not be his opponent if the two of them faced each other.
Master Xuan Qing's face suddenly fell, and he felt very, very unhappy!
So, upon hearing He Xi's words, Master Xuan Qing immediately raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "Okay! My dear disciple, if you want help, Master is of course willing to help you! But Master doesn't like this kid, so you can ask him to get away from you first, and then Master will help you, how about that?"
He Xi was stunned, and couldn't help but smile a little. When he turned his head and saw Nangong Yu's dark and ashen face, the smile immediately turned into a laugh.

At this time, Gu Liufeng had already caught up with Shen Qingruo.
Shen Qingruo was standing alone by the lake wiping her tears, her shoulders heaving from crying and her low sobs softening anyone's heart.
Gu Liufeng only felt that his heart was aching with the low sobbing, but he was more at a loss.
He raised his hand, wanting to pat Shen Qingruo's shoulder to comfort her, but his hand remained in the air for a long time without being able to pat her.
After a long while, he whispered, "Qingruo, stop crying. If you keep crying, your eyes will get swollen and it won't look good!"
Shen Qingruo became even sadder after hearing this. She cried harder and harder, choking as she spoke, her voice full of accusatory grievances, "Anyway, you guys are all laughing at me behind my back, I don't want to care about you anymore!"
Gu Liufeng said quickly: "How could I laugh at you? I didn't tell you that Xiyue was a woman at first only because it would be disadvantageous to Xiyue, not because I intended to deceive you."
After listening to Shen Qingruo's crying, she immediately sobbed and wiped away her tears.
But this time she was not crying attentively, and her half-hidden eyes kept drifting towards Gu Liufeng.
Seeing that she was really so sad, Gu Liufeng felt as if something was blocking his chest for some reason, and he felt depressed and uncomfortable.
He sighed softly and said, "Do you really like Xiyue that much?"
Shen Qingruo was stunned and put down her hands that were covering her face, revealing a tear-stained little face and big, red eyes as round as a rabbit's.
She pouted and nodded, then shook her head, wiping the tears from her face shyly, and stammered, "Actually, knowing that Xiyue is a girl, I... I wasn't particularly sad. Now that I think about it, I think she's so amazing! She's obviously a girl like me, not older than me, and her cultivation is about the same as mine, but she's so amazing. She opened the Shengde Hall and was able to teach those bastards of the Feng family a lesson. I... I admire her so much when I think about it!"
Gu Liufeng saw that her eyes were shining brightly as she spoke, full of admiration and excitement, as if she had forgotten all the sadness and grief she had just felt, and he also found it funny in his heart.
He took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Shen Qingruo, saying softly: "If you are not sad, then why are you crying so sadly? Your little face has become like a cat from crying."
Shen Qingruo took the handkerchief and wiped it on her face. As soon as she brought the handkerchief close to her nose, she smelled a faint fragrance.
It's just like the smell emanating from this person, warm, not strong, but like the smell of sunshine.
Shen Qingruo blushed, pressed the handkerchief to her face, and whispered: "I just feel so embarrassed. At that time in Shengde Hall, I was very attentive to Xiyue, you must have seen it. You... do you think I'm stupid?" (To be continued)
