“Xiao Yichen, let me think: where are you going next? You should be going to the Red Leaf Valley, am I right?”

“You, you know I’m going to the Red Leaf Valley?” Xiao Yichen’s expression changed. His father only told him about going to the Red Leaf Valley, and not many, or perhaps no one, knew about it from his family. How did an outsider like Qin Lu find out such information?

“I know a lot of things!”

“Xiao Yichen, actually, I never wanted to compete with you for anything. Who you like and who you want to pursue has nothing to do with me.”

“However, before I die, you can’t touch Ye Qingcheng. If you want to touch her, I will also turn him into ashes.”

Cutting off people’s money was like killing their parents. Whoever stops him from completing his mission is his enemy. Even if it was the protaganist, he would still kill him.

“Qin Lu, one day I will kill you.”

“Is that so? I’ll say the same to you.” Qin Lu smiled coldly, then turned and left.

Originally, Xiao Yichen was looking forward to going to the Red Leaf Valley. But for some reason, meeting Qin Lu here made him feel strange.

In One-Line-Sky, Tantai Yue and the others were fighting with the Abyssal Demon Venerable. In terms of numbers, the Holy Maiden Sect did not have the advantage, but with an extra Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, the Holy Maiden Sect narrowed the gap in numbers. The battle between the two sides was in full swing.

After fighting for almost an hour, there were varying degrees of casualties. But at this moment, Ye Qingcheng returned. Seeing Ye Qingcheng return, Tantai Yue and the others were also surprised. Didn’t Ye Qingcheng return to the inner sect?

Why did she come back so soon?

“Elders, the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect are fine now, and the crisis in the inner sect has been resolved. Everyone can face the enemy with peace of mind.”

Hearing Ye Qingcheng’s words, the disciples who wanted to go back to assist immediately calmed down and began to focus on the battle. With Ye Qingcheng’s words and the addition of Ye Qingcheng, the Abyssal Demon Venerable and the disciples of the Demon Sect began to retreat.

The Abyssal Demon Venerable sensed that the situation was not good, so he retreated with his people.

With that, the battle was over.“Qingcheng, is the danger in the sect really over?” The Vice Sect Master hurriedly asked.

“Reporting to the Vice Sect Master, Qin Lu and the four elders have already repelled the demon’s surprise attack. Nevertheless, they sent over a hundred Golden Core Realm cultivators this time. Many of our sect’s disciples were injured or killed! They even stole a lot of spirit herbs and medicinal pills.”

“I do not think we have to worry about that, though, because Qin Lu has already gone and chased after them.”

“That damned Abyssal Demon is actually so sinister. The next time I meet him, I’ll definitely make him pay the price.” Tantai Yue grumbled before leading everyone back to the Holy Maiden Sect. “Everyone, let’s return to the sect first.”

When everyone returned to the Holy Maiden Sect, they saw that many places in the sect had been destroyed and that so many disciples had died.

They all wished they could go back and fight the Abyssal Demon Venerable to the death. Seeing the Vice Sect Master bring everyone back, the disciples and the four elders in the sect let out a sigh of relief.

After everyone finished dealing with the matters of the sect, Qin Lu also returned.

Seeing Qin Lu return, Ye Qingcheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that Qin Lu’s strength was very strong, Ye Qingcheng was still somewhat worried about him chasing the demons alone.

“Father, where did you go? Why did you only come back now?”

“Daddy went to chase after a little mouse. Little Gu, did you listen to Mother’s words?”

“Father, Xiao Gu is very obedient.”

“That’s good.”

“Qingcheng, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. It’s just that the sect has lost a lot of young disciples this time!” Thinking of losing so many young disciples all of a sudden, Ye Qingcheng felt very sad.

Those disciples were still young and had not yet experienced what the whole world had to offer them; it was too cruel for them to die just like that. If she had realized that something was wrong earlier and rushed back earlier, perhaps not so many people would have died. It was all her fault!

“This is all that demon’s scheme. You don’t have to blame yourself!”“By the way, Elder Sun. I’ve recovered all the stolen spirit herbs and spirit pills for you.”

“Here are twenty storage rings. There are also some collections of the fiends inside. I’ll leave them to you to deal with.” As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lu took out twenty spatial storage rings.

“Qin Lu, you killed all the twenty demons?”

“Yes, I killed them all.”

“I chased after them for more than two hundred li!”

“Good, you’ve done a great service again this time.” Although she hated Qin Lu before, she thought of how he had saved so many disciples on the ancient battlefield last time. This time, he had recovered all the spirit herbs and spirit pills that she had lost. The Ninth Elder also changed her view of Qin Lu.

“Ninth Elder, this is what I should do.”

“Alright, I’ll leave the things to you. I’m also tired from running back and forth. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and rest.”

“Xiao Gu, let’s go home.”

“Yes, Father.” Xiao Gu smiled happily and then jumped back onto Qin Lu’s shoulder. “Mother, you’re not going back?”

“You guys go back first. Mother will come later.”

“Mother, you’re lying again!”

“Ah, when did Mother lie to Xiao Gu? Xiao Gu is so cute. How can Mother bear to lie to you?” Ye Qingcheng was a little confused. This little guy—why did it suddenly say that she was lying?

“You did!”

“When?”

“Didn’t you say that Father snores when he sleeps?”

“But when I slept with Father, he did not snore.”

“Uh, this… maybe mother forgot!” Ye Qingcheng was really embarrassed. This Xiao Gu really said everything that was on its mind!

“Then can you sleep with Father at night?”
