Shen Qing grinned wickedly and eyed He Yu with ill intent, making He Yu feel extremely uncomfortable all over.
"Shen Qing! What are you staring at me like that for? Have you gone mad?" He Yu blurted out. Shen Qing had already grown immune to He Yu's slurs. The black iron sword in her hand was eager to move.
This sword didn't feel as good as Wu Wang. If it were Wu Wang, He Yu probably wouldn't be standing here talking to her right now.
Just as Shen Qing was thinking about how to deal with He Yu right under the noses of Pei Xuanjing and Shen Chuyun, a familiar voice came from above her head.
"Shen Qing!"
Li Xian descended from the sky on his sword and landed steadily in front of Shen Qing. In Shen Qing's surprised and delighted gaze, Li Xian hugged her tightly.
The moment his memories came back, he remembered everything.
Including what had happened to Shen Qing after he left in his first life here. He remembered it all!
He only hated that he had awakened too late. In his second life, he had even watched helplessly as Shen Qing was burned to death right in front of him.
"Shen Qing, I've come to find you!"
Holding back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes, Shen Qing hugged Li Xian back and whispered, "This time, you came really early."
Li Xian also thought it was an incredible coincidence. When he woke up, he had thought he would be in Xiaolin Village, but unexpectedly, he had arrived directly at the time when they were leading the team to Qingyun Sword Sect.
So after waking up, he immediately flew on his sword and searched the entire sect for Shen Qing's figure.
Li Xian held Shen Qing's face in both hands and couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment, as if he were looking at a precious treasure that had been lost for a long time and finally retrieved after many twists and turns.
Not caring about the three annoying people behind them, Li Xian leaned in and kissed Shen Qing on the lips.
At this moment, the three people behind them were completely stunned.
Pei Xuanjing's face darkened. He instinctively wanted to step forward, kick Li Xian away, and take Shen Qing back.
But before he could get close to Li Xian, the Chenxi Sword, which Li Xian hadn't formed a contract with yet, flew up on its own and easily defused Pei Xuanjing's moves.
Seeing that Shen Qing hadn't even glanced at him since just now and was now being hugged and kissed by a man, Shen Chuyun immediately felt extremely embarrassed.
"Shen Qing, you... fool! What are you doing? This isn't the Hehuan Sect. It's not the place for you to stage a pornographic show!!"
He shouted loudly but didn't dare to step forward to stop them. After all, even the senior brother couldn't beat Li Xian, let alone him.
"Mmmph!"
Shen Qing's mouth was blocked, and she couldn't struggle free. So she patted Li Xian's shoulder with some force to signal him to let go.
Li Xian also knew there were annoying people around, so he reluctantly let go of Shen Qing. When he turned around, the intense killing intent in his eyes made the three people tremble with fear.
Shen Qing embarrassedly pursed her lips. It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with Li Xian's sudden move, but that she felt these three people had invaded her privacy.
"Shen Qing, whatever you want to do, I'll cooperate with you," Li Xian said, holding the Chenxi Sword in his hand. His face was as cold as frost as he scanned Pei Xuanjing and the other two.
Shen Qing immediately stepped closer to Li Xian and whispered her plan in his ear.
Since she had been reborn, she knew a thing or two about the moves of the Soul-Locking Banner.
In Ji Chongming's hands, the Soul-Locking Banner couldn't even unleash half of its power. Moreover, activating the Soul-Locking Banner required a large amount of demonic energy. But now that Ji Chongming was in the back mountain, the surrounding area was filled with spiritual energy that was unsuitable for him.
The faster Ji Chongming consumed his demonic energy, the faster they could break this dream realm.
And the key to making people recall their memories was to let them experience things they had gone through in reality or receive a shock before they died, and then they could regain their memories.
So what Shen Qing wanted to do was to let these three people experience death and despair, but they couldn't really die.
After hearing Shen Qing's speculation, Li Xian also agreed.
So the two of them turned their gazes to He Yu.
It was very easy to deal with He Yu. They just had to ruin the thing he cared about most—his appearance.
Shen Qing and Li Xian glanced at each other and saw the mischievous look in each other's eyes. They couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But this smile made He Yu shiver.
These two people in front of him seemed to be plotting some huge conspiracy, which made He Yu shiver involuntarily. "What are you laughing at? Fellow Daoist Li, don't forget, this is the Qingyun Sword Sect. If you want to do anything improper, be careful of our master, Real Person Heng Ling!"
Mentioning Real Person Heng Ling, He Yu immediately became full of confidence.
Pei Xuanjing suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Li, please let go of our junior sister!"
For some reason, when he saw Li Xian kissing Shen Qing, his first reaction wasn't anger but a bit of grievance. Even he himself was very confused about this feeling.
But Shen Qing completely ignored Pei Xuanjing. After raising her eyebrows, in the surprised gazes of everyone, she directly asked Li Xian to tie He Yu up tightly with a rope.
Then, Li Xian put his arm around Shen Qing, jumped onto the sword, and flew into the air.
Li Xian held the rope in one hand and directly hung He Yu up, then quickly left.
"Ahhh! What are you doing! Kidnapping! Let me go!"
He Yu was so scared that he let out a series of screams. Unfortunately, he couldn't beat Li Xian.
Just as Pei Xuanjing and Shen Chuyun summoned their swords, Shen Qing and the others had already disappeared from sight.
"Damn it. We have to go and report to our master quickly. Shen Qing and Li Xian have kidnapped our second junior brother!"
Pei Xuanjing turned around and left, leaving behind a confused Shen Chuyun.
Li Xian used a teleportation talisman and brought Shen Qing and He Yu to the dense forest outside the Qingyun Sword Sect.
The place they landed was exactly where the Ghost-Troubling Vine was. In front of them was a swamp that Shen Qing was very familiar with. Without Lin Yibai's interference, the Ghost-Troubling Vine was of normal size.
"What do you want to do by bringing me here!"
"Shen Qing, you've joined forces with an outer sect disciple to deal with your own senior brother. Are you still human? I'm going to tell our master and have him expel you from the sect. Our only junior sister is Xiaobai!!"
Tied up, He Yu could only rage helplessly and curse at Shen Qing.
Without saying a single unnecessary word, Shen Qing immediately raised her hand and gave He Yu a heavy slap. This slap carried a bit of the resentment from her past and present lives.
He Yu stared at her in disbelief with wide eyes and stammered, "You hit me?"
Under the great shock, some unfamiliar memories awakened in his mind. Vaguely, he seemed to see in his memories Shen Qing's body being devoured by demons, a sight too horrible to look at.
And after Lin Yibai ascended, the Jiuhuang Continent and the mortal world were in a terrible state, and he himself didn't end up well either.
"I hit you. Do I need to pick a date?"
"Do you know how stupid you looked following Lin Yibai around? You were like mindless fools, being played in the palm of her hand!"
"I saved you, but how did you treat me? You said I was vicious and stole credit. You used that sword to scratch my face little by little!"
"Now, I'm going to repay you for everything I've suffered!"
He Yu was stunned. A great sense of regret welled up in him, and guilt and shame instantly overwhelmed him.
"Shen Qing... I seem to remember..."
