When walking down the corridor of the Qingyang Gate dungeon again, Gu Qingyin's mood was completely different from last time.
After all, he sneaked in sneakily last time, and if he was not careful, he might be buried here, but this time he followed He Zhengde in openly.
This time, no one will stop her anymore.
"You already know about your father?"
The two walked all the way together, but there was no communication. Gu Qingyin didn't like to talk to He Zhengde, and He Zhengde remained silent all the time.
But when the prison cell fell, He Zhengde finally did not hold his breath, and said: "If you can persuade Ling Yingzhuo to rescue him, it will not be in vain for our hard work for so many years."
"You think too much."
Gu Qingyin opened her mouth lightly, and said with a sneer: "Don't you really think that someone like him can still wake up? It is because of this kind of obsession that the old man can persist for so many years under the pain of bereavement, and you And for what? Do you really want him to wake up?"
He Zhengde's face darkened, and he asked back: "He is my own brother, why don't I want him to wake up?"
At this moment, Gu Qingyin was no longer as shocked and flustered as she was when she suddenly heard the absurd facts in the sword mound. She was able to respond rationally to He Zhengde's question.
"If that's the case, why did you allow the rumors that my parents were dead to spread in the Jianghu? If he could really wake up, who would dare to believe that a dead person can be resurrected? Since you are willing to bear the infamy and let the rumors spread, Doesn't it just mean that if the world knows that he is dead, for you, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages."
He Zhengde lowered his eyes, smiled coldly, and said, "You girl, what do you want to do so much. When your father was rescued by us, the situation was really not optimistic. It was your grandmother who decided to hide him from him before he died. It's the truth, not me. You don't want to blame it all on me."
Gu Qingyin was slightly taken aback, and then her brows frowned unconsciously.
Why is it her
"Similar to your father's situation at that time, if the world treats him as dead, it is not for my benefit, but for the Qingyangmen. With the appearance of a ghost, he will definitely feel that Qingyangmen is easy to bully, and he will only become the weakness of Qingyangmen. The family fortune is not the future that mother wants to see, so she hides the fact , Supported me to the position. Only in this way, Qingyangmen can not fall, do you understand? For her, none of us can compare with Qingyangmen. If I can treat Qingyangmen well, she can treat me well. She can treat me like this regardless of past suspicions. How can I be that intolerant and narrow-minded person? If your father can wake up in the future, then I will do my duty as a brother and take good care of him. Besides, I have been unable to find him for so many years You, we are naturally regretful in our hearts. In the future, don’t be self-willed and fool around, just stay at the door at ease. What happened back then is over. People who are alive always have to keep looking forward. .”
Gu Qingyin twitched the corner of her mouth forcefully.
Sure enough, for the old lady, the most important thing is not her father, nor her, nor Zhou Jinyi, but the whole Qingyang Gate.
"Really, according to what you mean, is it possible that you are really that innocent person?"
Gu Qingyin smiled coldly, then lowered her voice and said, "Don't you really think that I was young and ignorant back then, that I couldn't tell whether my master stopped people who were chasing and killing me, or people who were looking for me to return home?"
He Zhengde stopped walking.
He raised his head and stared at Gu Qingyin closely.
"I'm not surprised that you want to kill me. But what I'm curious about is why you stopped chasing and killing me later, but instead targeted the Blood Flame Sect everywhere and bullied our family, Ah Jin?"
He Zhengde's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, this girl still knows a lot.
Gu Qingyin is the only one who can calmly talk to someone who has attacked him before.
He Zhengde stopped in place, and Gu Qingyin stopped in place and waited for him.
After a long silence, He Zhengde smiled bitterly and continued to walk.
"Believe it or not, anyway, I never thought of putting you to death."
I don't know what he thought of, He Zhengde was in a daze for a moment, and then he frankly said what had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "You are their only flesh and blood, how can I really kill you. I want, It's just the Qilin Jade in your hand. It's the token of the sect master of Qingyang Sect. Many important branches in the sect act according to orders. Without it, my sect master is nothing more than a decoration. If it weren't for your grandmother's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to sit firmly in this position. If I had the chance, I would try my best to get the Qilin Jade back. Who would have thought that the Qilin Jade would fall into the hands of the Blood Flame Sect? If Ji That devil Zhe took advantage of this to do evil, then the world is bound to be in chaos. How can I let him bring blood and flames to teach mischief? Originally, we had no chance to capture your master. After all, in those years, you It's like disappearing, no matter how we search, we can't find you. I thought I would never see you again in this life, but he sent Ji Zhe himself to the door when Ji Zhe was in danger, and Ji Zhe ran away , but he was forced to stay by your grandmother."
Hearing this, Gu Qingyin's smile became more ironic.
"So, she captured my master to force him to save my father, but you want to use my master to force senior Ji Zhe out, right? It's ridiculous. You so-called decent families are not only sanctimonious, but also Selfishness, those so-called crooked sects in your eyes, act more openly than you. You are doing it for your own selfish desires, so can you treat my master like this? Can you destroy my master's freedom like this? "
Listening to Gu Qingyin's questioning, He Zhengde's face turned dark.
If it hadn't been for Ling Yingzhuo's consumption with Ji Zhe these years, that arrogant but willful talent would have already become a monster that everyone in the world fears.
Everyone knows that Ji Zhe is terrible, and he has already become the thorn in the heart of all sects. There are two ways of righteousness and evil, who wouldn't want to see Ji Zhe fall into his hands
But even though he united the forces of various sects back then, he still couldn't completely restrain Ji Zhe who was alone.
I don't know if it was because of guilt, after Ling Yingzhuo was captured by them, Ji Zhe, who had always acted recklessly, became cautious about this matter instead.
In the past few years, although they had many confrontations, Ji Zhe was always defeated and fled.
He couldn't save Ling Yingzhuo, but he still persisted in this matter.
I don't know if it is because he is afraid that he is always timid. In short, the past few years have not only smoothed Ji Zhe's edges and corners, but also exhausted He Zhengde's energy.
Up to now, he no longer wants to compete with Ji Zhe.
After all, now he has to admit that no matter how diligently he practiced, he was still not as good as the talent favored by the heavens.
He can't beat Ji Zhe.
If you are competitive, you will only be tired of those mundane things. If he can't concentrate on studying martial arts, he will never reach the level he wants.
Sometimes, he actually envied Ling Yingzhuo who was calm in this cage.
At least, although Ling Yingzhuo in this cage lacks freedom, he can entertain himself and benefit a lot from those medical skills and medicinal materials.
"arrive."
While contemplating, he unknowingly walked to the cell where Ling Yingzhuo was locked up.
Without tweaking or doing anything, He Zhengde opened the lock freely and handed the key to Gu Qingyin.
"Whether you believe it or not, I still have to say it again. The accident of your parents was not caused by me. No matter how much I hated your father back then, I still couldn't do such a thing as killing a brother."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Gu Qingyin standing outside the prison door alone.
Not too long after He Zhengde left, Gu Qingyin opened the door and walked into the cell. Looking at the teacher who was holding a book in his hand and staring at her in a daze, she smiled slightly and said, "Master, my apprentice is here to pick you up." You went back."
Up to now, some things, the facts, are no longer important.
When leaving, there isn't much to take with you.
Ling Yingzhuo only took away some of the experience copied in the prison, and those poisons that have been pondered over in idle time but have not yet been tested.
And Gu Qingyin had nothing to bring, except for the fox fur that Zhong Shujin specially sent her last time, Gu Qingyin didn't take any of the other things.
Those things were all prepared by Qingyangmen for her, after all, they were not her own.
This so-called home was not the home she wanted after all.
"Aren't you going to stay?"
In front of Qingyang Gate, Ling Yingzhuo only glanced at the stone tablet engraved with the three characters "Qingyang Gate", and then turned his head to look at Gu Qingyin.
"You used to ask about the life experience, now that you know it, why did you leave with me? After all, the ones here are the relatives who are related to you by blood."
"No."
As the sun sets, only the afterglow shines on the earth.
Today's Qingyang Gate has fewer visitors coming and going.
The two masters and apprentices traveled all the way, and no one stopped them.
There is no one to see him off, and no one to stop him.
Whether to leave or stay depends entirely on their own will.
Gu Qingyin withdrew her gaze from inside the Qingyang Gate, turned around and smiled faintly at Ling Yingzhuo, and said, "Let's go, someone is still waiting for me."
Today is sunny and not cold, but Gu Qingyin is still wearing the fox fur on her body and refuses to take it off.
Seeing Gu Qingyin's gentle smile when he caressed the fox fur, Ling Yingzhuo was only stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Oh? Who is it? Could it be someone you like?"
Gu Qingyin didn't intend to hide it, and walked forward with Ling Yingzhuo, and replied with a smile: "Yes. Master, I have a crush on someone."
"Not bad, not bad, it's rare to have a young gentleman who can catch your eye, why don't you bring it to the teacher to have a look?"
The evening wind blew Gu Qingyin's beautiful hair. She looked at a carriage that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and smiled slightly: "Master, you are wrong. It is not a young man, but a young lady."
Ling Yingzhuo paused his legs and frowned slightly.
Seeing him stop, Gu Qingyin also stopped. She didn't urge or force her to ask, she just looked at Ling Yingzhuo quietly, waiting for Ling Yingzhuo to speak again.
"Old Poison, why are you master and apprentice still standing still! Get in the carriage!"
But after a while, the carriage in the distance stopped in front of them.
After hearing Liu Sanniang's urging voice, Ling Yingzhuo stretched his brows and raised his eyes to look at the car window.
The old friend whom I haven't seen for many years has not changed much compared to the past, and still has the same smiling appearance.
"Hurry up! My old lady has already prepared a feast for you, an old poison, what are you doing so procrastinating!"
As if infected by Liu Sanniang's joy, Ling Yingzhuo also smiled happily.
"good."
After all, he took Gu Qingyin's hand naturally as he did when he was a child, and led her into the carriage.
"Get in the carriage first."
On the carriage, apart from Liu Sanniang, there was another person sitting upright.
"Hello, Senior Ji."
When Ling Yingzhuo was in a daze, it was Gu Qingyin who spoke politely, which brought back Ling Yingzhuo's sanity.
And the person sitting upright seemed to be nervous at the moment, if it wasn't for Gu Qingyin's yelling, his hands would probably still be nervous and have nowhere to put them.
"Um."
With an indifferent reply, he moved to the side and said to Ling Yingzhuo, "Sit down quickly."
Ling Yingzhuo calmly sat down beside Ji Zhe, and Gu Qingyin also sat down beside Liu Sanniang knowingly.
During the silence, it was Liu Sanniang who broke the deadlock: "What did you two stop there just now, master and apprentice? It took me a long time to find out!"
Gu Qingyin looked at Ji Zhe with a stiff expression, then at the master who was in a daze, smiled lightly, and said, "I'm talking to my master about the person I like."
Hearing this, Ji Zhe's expression darkened.
"Your master just came out, are you going to be so angry with him?"
"Don't be angry, why should I be angry? My apprentice can have someone in his heart, and I'm too late to be happy. How can I be angry?"
Ling Yingzhuo could see Ji Zhe's strangeness. He squinted his eyes slightly, tilted his head and smiled and asked, "Why, why are you talking so aggressively to my apprentice? Why is she dissatisfied with you?"
That unknown smile, coupled with that abnormally fair complexion, made Ji Zhe's back feel chilly.
"No... no, how come..."
In this way, Ling Yingzhuo nodded in satisfaction.
"Ah That's good."
It was rare to see Ji Zhe deflated, but Liu Sanniang watched it with relish, and took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire.
"Old Poison, did your apprentice tell you that her lover is a woman?"
Ji Zhe secretly gave Liu Sanniang a look.
"You talk too much!"
Ling Yingzhuo looked at Gu Qingyin's anxious expression, smiled slightly, and answered Gu Qingyin's words just now.
"As long as my apprentice likes it, what's the matter with a woman? If you have a chance someday, bring it to your teacher to have a look. Let me see which girl can catch your eye."
Now, Ji Zhe couldn't hold back anymore.
"Look what! Have you asked Lao Tzu for his opinion?"
Liu Sanniang smiled happily. She couldn't help Ji Zhe bullying these two little guys, so she could only take the opportunity to talk about it in front of this old poison.
"Isn't that right, we must ask the opinion of our old leader Ji! He didn't agree with it, and he almost beat our little Guzi's favorite person to the point of paralysis. Tsk tsk tsk, I heard Leng Shaoying say that Ah, if it wasn't for little Guzi who jumped up to block the blow, the old guy would have beaten him endlessly!"
"Blocked a stick?"
Ling Yingzhuo looked at Ji Zhe, and Sen smiled coldly: "Ji Zhe, I'm not outside, is this how you bully my apprentice?"
