Chapter 431: Floating and Gathering Clouds

After saying this, Li Xian fainted again.

Xue Ling quickly stepped forward to check on Li Xian's condition and found that the spiritual power in his body was in chaos. His situation had worsened a bit.

The faces of the group became even more gloomy.

Shen Qing clenched her fists tightly. Looking at Li Xian's pale face, she made up her mind and said, "Let's go to the Five - Element Dao Sect!"

Xue Ling didn't know about the feud between Shen Qing and Nan Zhijin, so he thought it was okay.

When they came, only one person was in a coma. Now there was an additional Hong Chaoyang.

Wu Wang was still recuperating, and Shen Qing couldn't ask Wu Wang to transform into a dragon and fly again. Xue Ling had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out his own alms bowl. He enlarged it until it looked like a small flying boat.

Xue Ling carried Li Xian and Hong Chaoyang onto the alms bowl one after another. Only then did Shen Qing notice that there was a thick soft cushion at the bottom of the alms bowl. It looked very comfortable, and all kinds of resting items were available.

Shen Qing looked at Xue Ling with a rather speechless expression.

Such a powerful magical artifact was really used as a flying boat by Xue Ling.

Xue Ling touched his nose awkwardly, feeling as if he had been stripped naked and scrutinized.

He was a Buddhist cultivator. Generally speaking, he didn't fight. When he did fight, he usually used his prayer beads, with each step being a deadly move.

This alms bowl... was rarely used.

"Hurry... hurry up and get on. Don't waste time," Xue Ling coughed lightly twice, his ear tips turning slightly red.

After Shen Qing got on the alms bowl, she sat cross - legged. As they took off, Shen Qing looked at the charred land below, feeling a chill in her heart.

Why was the Azure Cloud Sword Sect the first target for Han Ze to attack?

Was it because of her?

Where was the Real Person Heng Ling?

Was he really dead?

Where had the Sect Master, the Real Person Hong Die and the others... those who had disappeared out of thin air, gone? Could they really have perished?

There were too many puzzles and questions in Shen Qing's mind.

Han Ze had thrown the Nine Wastelands Continent into chaos and attacked the sects. Was he not afraid that the sects would unite to讨伐 the Main God's Temple?

Or was the strength of the Main God's Temple already so powerful that Han Ze had no fear of the Sect Alliance at all? What did he rely on?!

While Shen Qing was deep in thought, Xue Ling on the opposite side put his hands on the edge of the alms bowl, sitting in a rather unruly posture.

The cold wind blew open his collar. Coupled with the wounds on his body and face, as well as the sneer on the corner of his mouth, he really looked like a somewhat demonic monk.

He looked at Shen Qing and suddenly said out of the blue, "Shen Qing, are we friends now?"

Shen Qing, who had been immersed in her thoughts, was stunned for a moment when she heard Xue Ling's question. She asked in confusion, "Why do you ask this?"

Xue Ling shook his head and stubbornly wanted Shen Qing to answer.

Shen Qing thought for a while. They had experienced battles and life - and - death situations together. They had chatted and argued. They seemed like friends, but in Shen Qing's eyes, they were more like comrades - in - arms fighting side by side on the battlefield.

So Shen Qing shook her head. "No."

Xue Ling frowned and quickly recalled what he had done. It seemed that he hadn't offended Shen Qing in any way. After going through so many things, if they still weren't considered friends, then what would it take to be one?

His voice was a bit eager, as if he extremely wanted to get an affirmative answer from Shen Qing. "Why... Is there something I did wrong, or... Have I not cared enough about you all? You tell me, and I can change!"

Shen Qing tilted her head and pointed at Xue Ling.

Xue Ling looked down and only saw his dirty cassock.

He didn't understand what Shen Qing meant. His eyes were full of confusion, and his voice suddenly became much louder. "Is it because my clothes are dirty?"

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment and smiled helplessly. "No."

"What I mean is, you."

"Me?"

Xue Ling was even more confused. He felt that what Shen Qing was saying now was just like what Bu Yan used to say. She always spoke vaguely and liked to keep him guessing.

He used to be very annoyed by it, but now, he missed it so much...

Shen Qing said seriously, "It's because you've never regarded us as friends."

Xue Ling's eyes widened in shock. He said anxiously, "How could that be? I've always regarded you all as friends. How could it be..."

"If you really regarded us as friends, you wouldn't have asked that question just now."

Xue Ling stopped his defense in shock and was speechless.

Shen Qing closed her eyes tiredly. It was enough to make the point. The rest would depend on Xue Ling to figure out by himself.

She had to anticipate the possible situations she might face after arriving at the Five - Element Dao Sect.

Nan Zhijin seemed to be an upright and noble person on the surface, but in fact, he was as insidious as the sword techniques he had developed.

Maybe even Nan Zhijin himself didn't realize that his words and thoughts were extremely extreme, extremely loving and extremely hating.

Because of his love for his father, he had resolutely abandoned the sect that had protected and nurtured him. And because of his love for his father, he blindly followed what the Main God's Temple had done.

Previously on Worry - Free Peak, he had liked Lin Yibai. Because of Lin Yibai's dislike, he had acted like a dog for Lin Yibai and spared no effort to harm Shen Qing.

Such a person could be the sharpest knife, but he could never be a friend or a relative.

Now that Nan Zhijin had seen through Lin Yibai's tricks, he had turned around and tried to hurt Lin Yibai in order to get Shen Qing's forgiveness.

A person like a wavering fence - sitter was really despicable!

Thinking of this, Shen Qing rummaged through her storage bag to see if there was anything useful.

But inside, apart from a few life - protecting magical artifacts, there were only a few pills left, and there were only two explosion talismans left among the talismans.

Shen Qing sighed, and her eyebrows remained tightly furrowed for a long time.

Li Xian fell into a coma again. This time, he seemed very restless. He groaned in his dream and mumbled something with his mouth.

Hong Chaoyang woke up after only two hours of sleep. After waking up, she cried out loudly, wailing. Big teardrops rolled down from her eyes and soaked a large part of her clothes.

Although Shen Qing was worried about Hong Chaoyang, she didn't go to comfort her.

It was better to let her vent her emotions. Holding them in would cause problems.

After crying enough, Hong Chaoyang sniffled and came to Shen Qing's side. She leaned her head on Shen Qing's shoulder and sobbed, "Shen Qing, do you think Mother will blame me?"

"I was so childish before and had a fight with her for a long time. Will she regret giving birth to me? I'm not diligent in my cultivation and can't compare to my fellow disciples. Will she think her daughter is stupid and be disappointed in me?"

Hong Chaoyang's eyes were red and swollen. She babbled a lot to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing thought of Bai Li, and her eyes also became warm.

She raised her hand and gently wiped away Hong Chaoyang's tears. She said softly, "No. All mothers in the world love their children. In their eyes, their children are the most outstanding. The Real Person Hong Die must love you and will never blame or dislike you."

Hong Chaoyang sobbed and trembled, then started crying again.

Xue Ling looked at them with a complex expression. He sighed silently and looked up at the floating and gathering clouds, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

He thought Shen Qing was wrong. In this world, there were still mothers who didn't love their children.

Just like his mother, who had no love for him at all. There was even hatred. His birth was originally a mistake.

If it weren't for that man's coercion, his originally lively and bright mother wouldn't have become what she was later...
