C20 The People of Standstill Peak

After hearing Xue Jingyin's words, not only did Qu Lingjing not get angry, he even smiled. His smile was warm and gentle, like the spring wind and rain.

"Is Nianzhi angry at me? It's good to be angry, it's good to be angry," Qu Lingjing muttered.

Xue Jingyin was baffled by this reply. What was so good about being angry? Was he stupid?

"What do you mean?" Xue Jingyin had never thought much of Qu Lingjing before, but after thinking a little more highly of him, he felt that this person was a fool. Every move he made was easily seen through by her. However, at this moment, she could not see through him. Why did this person keep challenging her knowledge?

Qu Lingjing was smiling and a little mischievous: "If you're angry with me, you'll have to wait until I go back to vent my anger. At least you won't leave so soon."

After all these days, Xue Jingyin had developed a good habit of dealing with Qu Lingjing on a daily basis. Hearing Qu Lingjing's words made it difficult for him to give birth. Qu Lingjing knew better than anyone else that one should not hit a smiling person.

"I'll wait for you for half a month. If you don't come back in half a month, I'll leave." Xue Jingyin did not know if he was threatening him or making up his mind.

Qu Lingjing did not seem angry at all. Instead, he said a little reluctantly, "Yes, take the letter I gave you. If you want to leave, give the letter to Yujin. He will understand."

Xue Jingyin was very angry, but he found that he had no right to be angry. When he received the letter, it should have been the gratification of many long-cherished wishes, but in the end, it turned into an indescribable bitterness, which Xue Jingyin had not expected.

Even though he was in the mortal world and the weather was mild and pleasant, Xue Jingyin still felt a slight chill. He squeezed through the seams of his clothes and hugged himself tightly.

Qu Lingjing took off his satin fox cloak and put it on Xue Jingyin. He pulled the hem of his robe and said with a mixture of regret and emotion, "You are so afraid of the cold. I really can't bear to keep you in the Nether Realm forever. In the future, it will be better if I go to the Sang Zi Realm to see you."

Early in the morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Qu Lingjing and the others had already packed their things and were ready to leave.

Ye Ya'er pulled on Qu Lingjing's sleeve and cried her eyes out.

"Young... Young Master, if I can't bring you back, Jin will definitely scold me like a pig, wuu... It's fine if he scolds me, but he will definitely punish me by not letting me eat, not letting me eat... Ya'er would rather die than live... wuu..."

Qu Lingjing felt that this girl was really responsible and had feelings for him. When he heard the last part, Qu Lingjing wanted to take back his previous evaluation. Well, she was crying because she didn't have any food to eat. How could she have feelings for him? However, every time he saw this girl cry, Qu Lingjing would think of his sister in real life. She would also cry on his arm.

Qu Lingjing waved at Yun Zhao, but Yun Zhao kept a straight face, forming a sharp contrast with Ye Ya'er.

"Yun Zhao, tell Yujin not to make things difficult for the little girl. She is also following orders and has nothing to do with her."

"Yes, young master."

When Ye Ya'er heard Qu Lingjing's words, her crying immediately quieted down. As if she had been granted amnesty, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Qu Lingjing suddenly felt a weight on his hand. A package with a medicinal smell came from Xue Jingyin, who did not look too good.

"This is?"

"It's for replenishing blood. The prescription is inside. Remember to boil it every day."

Qu Lingjing immediately laughed. How could he be so weak? Wasn't he Sister Lin now?

"What are you laughing at? You'll be crying in a few days. Remember that you can only lose three types of blood in a short period of time. Otherwise, you'll be courting death."

Qu Lingjing quickly recalled the ancient measurement units and roughly calculated that the three hundred milliliters of blood should be three hundred milliliters. According to modern medical common sense, shouldn't it be four hundred milliliters? However, Qu Lingjing immediately realized that Xue Jingyin had deliberately left him some leeway. He felt sad and kept nodding to reassure him.

The night before, Qin Yubing had sent a signal to his master, Hsu Liuyun, informing him of their location and situation. At this moment, two flying swords flew across the sky and circled a few times above the inn. When everyone took a closer look, they saw two cultivators dressed in similar clothing to Qin Yubing standing majestically on the swords. When they saw traces of Qin Yubing and Sheng Xueyin, they slowly floated down and stopped in front of Sheng Xueyin. After lowering their swords, they respectfully bowed to him.

These two men were Qin Yubing's senior brothers from Cloud Peak. After bowing and expressing their masters' concern for Sheng Xueyin, they spoke with great emotion, much like the demeanor of a normal person. Qu Lingjing stood at the side as if he was watching a show. He did not feel any sincerity.

Looking at Sheng Xueyin again, he still had the same cold expression on his face. Whatever the two of them said seemed to have nothing to do with him. He only glanced in Qu Lingjing's direction once. On the contrary, when Qin Yubing saw that his senior brother was very active, he spoke more than usual.

Xin Lianyue also went forward and greeted her two senior brothers warmly. The two of them recognized her, and after a simple greeting, they no longer paid attention to her.

"If you're ready, why don't you set off earlier? Master and Martial Uncle are waiting for us to return and report to them."

When Qu Lingjing heard the urging from the other side, he bid farewell to the Devil Clan and walked towards the Immortal Sect disciples.

"Who is this person?" Qin Yubing's senior brother asked in surprise when he saw Qu Lingjing.

Afraid that his senior brother would see through him, Qin Yubing quickly pulled Qu Lingjing to his side and said, "First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, his name is Lin Qing, and he's my friend."

Profound Sect had never allowed random people to enter the sect as they pleased. This was clearly stipulated, and the two senior brothers looked troubled.

"Little Junior Brother, without Master's permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Cloud Peak. Even your family members have to report to Master in advance for approval before they can go up. Have you forgotten these rules, Little Junior Brother?"

Qin Yubing said anxiously, "Senior Brother, please allow me to bring him up first. I'll go and report to Master right away, okay?"

The two of them looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Just as they were about to advise Qin Yubing to go back and report to his master before making any further plans, Qu Lingjing couldn't help but worry about the other person.

"He will live in my Inaction Peak when he comes up the mountain. I will take care of everything, and it has nothing to do with the other peaks." Sheng Xueyin's cold voice sounded. His tone was unquestionable.

When Sheng Xueyin said this, he wanted to use his identity as the Peak Master of Inaction Peak to protect Qu Lingjing from going up the mountain. The two of them did not dare to say another word. Inaction Peak had always been a lone wolf, and everything was decided by Sheng Xueyin alone. It was only right for someone to take care of the mountain, and no one else had the right to interfere.

Qu Lingjing was now glad that he had sealed the demonic Qi. They only treated him as an ordinary person and did not make things difficult for Sheng Xueyin.
