Qing Qing put away the Wansheng Sword and confronted Pei Xuanjing.
"Senior Brother Pei, what a grand show. You come here and immediately want to attack Shen Qing. I really can't understand the rules of your Qingyun Sword Sect."
Pei Xuanjing looked at Shen Qing reproachfully and said, "Young Sect Master, it's all a misunderstanding. Junior Sister, please explain quickly. Third Junior Brother has always been the most attached to you."
Shen Qing couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
What did he mean by "always being the most attached to her"? It was just that this hot - headed brute, who only cared about cultivation, didn't dare to ask Pei Xuanjing and the others for sparring and was reluctant to hurt Lin Yibai, so he could only come to her.
Nan Zhijin always left her covered in injuries. Pei Xuanjing and the others weren't unaware of it; they just chose to ignore it.
They also understood that if Nan Zhijin's pent - up energy were to be directed at them, they would have a hard time dealing with it.
"Senior Brother Pei, please stop calling me Junior Sister. In the Law Enforcement Hall, I've severed my relationship with True Lord Hengling and have nothing to do with Worry - Free Peak anymore."
"As for Nan Zhijin, you seem so resentful now. Are you dissatisfied with the Sect Master's decision?"
"If so, you should go back and talk to the Sect Master instead of acting crazy in front of me."
Nan Zhijin was so angry that his whole body trembled. He picked up his sword and wanted to slash at Shen Qing again.
Pei Xuanjing quickly stopped him and looked at Shen Qing as if she were an ignorant child.
"Junior Sister, we didn't take what happened in the Law Enforcement Hall seriously. Why are you still so serious about it?"
"We never intended to drive you out of Worry - Free Peak. As for the matter of Junior Sister Bai, since it's all a misunderstanding, it's good that it's cleared up. We're still a family."
In Pei Xuanjing's heart, he always remembered a sentence Shen Qing had said when they first entered the sect.
She said that no matter what happened, she would always consider Worry - Free Peak her home and them her family.
Since they were family, how could they be separated because of some misunderstandings?
Shen Qing must still be angry!
Thinking of this, Pei Xuanjing's tone became gentle. "I've discussed it with He Yu. As long as you go back and apologize to Master, we'll definitely persuade Master to let you come back."
Shen Qing really didn't want to argue with these people who didn't understand her words anymore. She just said coldly,
"No need. I already have a master. My master is very dedicated, treats me well, and has taught me a lot. As for True Lord Hengling, hehe..."
She didn't even want to admit that True Lord Hengling had ever been her master. It was simply a black mark in her history!
Ling Zhou's face appeared in Shen Qing's mind. Although she had known Ling Zhou for a short time, she really regarded Ling Zhou as her master.
Hearing this, Pei Xuanjing and Nan Zhijin's expressions changed.
They had already learned from Lin Yibai that one couldn't lie in this secret realm. If one lied, they would be immediately ejected from the secret realm.
So what Shen Qing said, that she already had a master, was the truth, not a lie to deceive them.
"Also, let me tell you one more time. When you hurt me, abandoned me, and didn't trust me again and again for no reason, I wanted to escape from you thousands of times."
"Worry - Free Peak is suffocating and painful. I'll never go back in my life!"
Nan Zhijin originally harbored full - fledged resentment towards Shen Qing, but when he heard her say so firmly that she didn't want to go back to Worry - Free Peak, a flash of panic crossed his mind.
How could this happen?
It was just some misunderstandings, and Shen Qing had really decided to leave?
This was different from what Junior Sister Bai had said!!
Didn't she say that Shen Qing was just being coy and didn't really want to leave them?
Nan Zhijin's voice trembled a little. "Shen Qing! Do you know what you're saying?!"
Seeing that Nan Zhijin was being stubborn again, Shen Qing didn't want to talk to him for another second.
In the illusion, she saw Li Xian with Lin Yibai, and Li Xian's state was very abnormal.
She just wanted to find Li Xian first.
Ignoring Pei Xuanjing and Nan Zhijin, Shen Qing exchanged a look with Qing Qing and then turned around and left.
The dark wolf growled fiercely at the two of them, with a very clear warning in its tone.
And He Yu, who had served as a cushion, was still unconscious in the pit at the moment, completely unaware of what was going on...
Nan Zhijin wanted to chase after them but was stopped by Pei Xuanjing again.
"Senior Brother, what are you stopping me for? Quickly call Shen Qing back and let her clarify things!"
Nan Zhijin was a bit frustrated and just wanted to tie Shen Qing back and make her take back what she had just said.
Pei Xuanjing's mind was also in a mess, but he knew that this wasn't the time to be entangled in these things.
Just now, they had been led around in circles in the village by the "dark wolf" and Luo Ling.
But in an instant, the "dark wolf" and Luo Ling disappeared.
It was only when they were ejected that they realized they had been in an illusion all along.
They had wanted to find Junior Sister Bai quickly, but as they walked, the next second they appeared in the air.
They didn't even have time to use their flying swords and just fell directly to the ground.
This secret realm was really beyond their comprehension.
If they continued to waste time on this, they were afraid that in the end, they wouldn't find Junior Sister Bai, and they wouldn't gain much resources either, thus wasting this opportunity in vain.
Moreover, they had all entered with the goal of finding things left by powerful beings, but now they had no clues at all...
"Don't chase. After the secret realm, Shen Qing will return to the sect. Then you can question her as you like. Now let's go find Junior Sister Bai first."
Mentioning Junior Sister Bai, the uneasiness and panic in Nan Zhijin's heart instantly disappeared.
Yes, as long as Junior Sister Bai was there, why did he care so much about Shen Qing?
Seeing that Pei Xuanjing and the others didn't catch up, Shen Qing finally felt like she had gotten rid of the trouble.
She looked at Qing Qing, who had a curious look on his face. "Sorry for making you laugh, but please believe that there are normal people in our Qingyun Sword Sect besides me."
Remembering what Xiao Jinglan had complained about, Shen Qing really didn't want others to think that everyone in the Qingyun Sword Sect was a brainless idiot.
Seeing Shen Qing's eagerness to explain, Qing Qing covered his mouth and laughed.
"I've met Elder Yaoyue and Junior Sister Hong Chaoyang. They're all lovely people. And it's not just your sect that has such embarrassing people."
Qing Qing sighed. Thinking of the female disciples in his sect who were eyeing him covetously, he felt a bit melancholy.
Although he didn't want to accept his female identity, he still worried day and night that someone would discover he wasn't a woman.
Seeing that Qing Qing didn't show a strange look, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
She subconsciously murmured casually, "This secret realm is so big. It's a bit difficult to find someone. If only there was a way for me to find Li Xian instantly."
As soon as she finished speaking, a "rustling" sound rang out around them.
After leaving the secret realm, they had come to a place similar to a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees.
Hearing Shen Qing's murmur, the dark wolf and Qing Qing's expressions changed. They looked at Shen Qing in horror.
Shen Qing came to her senses and quickly covered her mouth.
But it was too late...
Countless vines quickly shot out from the depths of the forest, binding the three of them tightly, and then quickly dragging them into the depths of the forest.
The dark wolf was almost going crazy. "Shen Qing! I've really had bad luck for eight lifetimes by following you!!"
