Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

"!" Qin Zhen paused.

She was surprised to find that she had not noticed the other person approaching at all.

Even now that she was called, she could not feel the other person's presence.

Qin Zhen's hand quietly tightened around the hilt of the knife, her eyelids slightly closed, and her breathing slowed down.

No one could see the storm brewing in her eyes at this moment.

With a slight push of his thumb, the magic sword came out half a step, and a cold light bloomed like starlight. Qin Zhen turned sideways, blocking the sharpness of the sword light, and looked at the person behind him.

Just with this glance, Qin Zhen was stunned.

"Lao He?"

Yes, the person who appeared behind her was none other than Lao He.

No, that's not right.

Qin Zhen quickly realized that something was wrong with this Old He. Although it was still the same face she was familiar with, the temperament of this Old He was completely different from the one she knew.

Although she still had that chubby body shape, the temperament of the Lao He behind her was so good that what Qin Zhen noticed at first was not his appearance.

He was wearing a silver-grey brocade robe, a colour that made him look a bit old-fashioned, but on him it made him look steady.

Although he was walking forward, his body did not sway at all. Even the jade pendant around his waist hung straight down, and the arc of movement was so small that it could be ignored.

When walking, lift your head quickly and lower it slowly, calmly and upright.

His eyes were not narrowed deliberately, and although small, they were very clear and bright.

Even Qin Zhen couldn't help but want to praise him - Lao He's temperament is really worthy of the title of "gentleman", and it's not an exaggeration at all.

But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that Qin Zhen found that the garden she was in was gone!

The surrounding scenery completely faded away the moment the word "Stop" was uttered.

At this time, Qin Zhen was standing in front of the gate of Baiye City.

Is this a transition from one illusion to another different illusion?

"You just left?"

Lao He was clearly looking at her, but Qin Zhen always felt that he was looking at someone else through her.

"What else?" Qin Zhen answered without thinking.

"Is this question so difficult to answer?" Lao He frowned slightly.

Didn't she just answer that?

So, Lao He couldn't hear her voice at all?

As if to confirm something, Qin Zhen suddenly took two steps towards Lao He's direction. With a wave of her arm, Lao He's figure disappeared like a cloud of mist.

And when Qin Zhen stepped back, Lao He's figure reappeared.

"really."

It's an illusion, not something real.

And this Old He is just the Old He in the illusion.

I just don't know why he suddenly appeared in front of her.

Qin Zhen was thinking when a strange female voice suddenly rang out: "Being together for three years is indeed the happiest time of my life, but He Ze, I am unwilling to give up."

"Have you decided to return to Tianyan Sect?"

Tianyan Sect!

Qin Zhen was a little nonchalant at first, but when she heard this, she suddenly pricked up her ears.

"Yes, I want to ask the leader why the Tianyan Sect, which is irreconcilable with the demons and whose mission is to eliminate demons, defend the way and save the people, would take in the traitor who killed my entire family and has been possessed by the demon!"

"I'll go with you." Lao He said without thinking.

"He Ze, you know... I will most likely never come back if I go this time. After all, that person is his and Qinghe Jianzun's junior sister. They have allowed her to harm others for so many years. I know what the result will be if I question her this time. How can I take you with me to die?"

As expected, the traitor who was possessed by the devil was Qing Ji.

"Since you know you will die, do you still want to go?"

"Go."

"You're going to go even if you have to leave me and the child behind?"

"...Go."

"No matter what I say, it won't stop you, will it?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then take me with you." Lao He did not continue to stop him hysterically, he just begged to die together.

"But we still have Yun'er. If you and I die, what will happen to Yun'er?"

Lao He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Quiet.

The silence was suffocating.

Obviously, the female voice did not sound again, and obviously Lao He did not speak again, but Qin Zhen could still feel a faint sadness from this silence.

Those were not her emotions, but something was affecting her.

"He Ze, I have never asked you for anything. Now I only ask you for one thing." The woman's voice sounded again.

This time, Qin Zhen finally saw a faint figure within Lao He's sight.

It was not as clear as Lao He's, and his face was also blurry. One could only see that he had a slim figure and was wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Tianyan Sect.

Lao He's eyes suddenly turned red. Without waiting for the woman to speak, he sighed softly, "I will take good care of Yunniang, but, Qingwu, I also want to ask you for one thing."

"I know, I will take good care of myself and try my best... to survive." Just as Lao He knew what she was going to say, the woman also knew what Lao He was going to say.

"it is good."

"If something bad happens to me, you will forget..."

"If you encounter misfortune, I will come to you after I raise Yunniang and make sure she has a good life."

"!"

"Don't reject me, Qingwu, I beg you."

The woman called Qing Wu was stunned for a long time before she responded in a low voice: "Okay."

"You...just go ahead."

"Yes. Yun'er is still immature and might be bullied. There's not much I can do for her. This is the longevity lock my mother left me. Now I leave it to her. I hope she can live a smooth life."

"Will do."

"He Ze."

"Yeah, I've always been here."

"If I can't come back, you don't have to rush to find me. You haven't seen this wonderful world yet. When you have seen all the beauty in this world and tasted all the delicacies in this world, if you still miss me, come to find me on the Naihe Bridge and tell me everything you have seen and heard."

"I……"

The woman shook her head. "You don't have to give an answer now. I'll always be here. If one day you let it go and don't want to look for me anymore, just go to my grave and burn some incense. Three sticks of incense will be enough."

Three sticks of incense, one to thank you for meeting me, two to atone the hatred, three... I hope you will be happy and never sad again.

After the woman finished speaking, her figure gradually disappeared.

Lao He stood there quietly for a long, long time, like a stone tablet that would never collapse.

Qin Zhen didn't know how long Lao He stood there. She just heard a childish, unreal voice calling out softly, "Daddy, doesn't mom want me anymore?"

Old He came back to his senses after hearing this, then slowly squatted down and replied gently: "How could it be, Yunniang is so well behaved, A Niang likes you the most."

"Then why did my mother leave?"

"Because...Aniang misses home."

The little girl seemed to understand: "What is home?"
