In the Lost Valley Ganyuan, there are tall and strange Lost Valley trees.

The tree is about six or seven feet tall, and its trunk is dark gray with black patterns, but it can emit a bright light, looking like a pearl from a distance, and a warm light cyan up close.

Qing Ling leaned over and fell into the depths of Gan Yuan, seeing that the light of the Lost Valley Forest was getting stronger and stronger, she secretly thought about her heart and threw out the unicorn jade card that she was holding tightly in her palm.

The jade brand fluorescent masterpiece instantly transformed into a majestic unicorn, shook the colorful mane on his back, stepped on the wind and traveled to Qingling, and carried her on his back.

This unicorn jade plaque is a treasure handed down from ancient times, and it is said that it is refined from the spirit of the ancient emperor's mount, the unicorn beast, so it can also be transformed into the appearance of a unicorn under the catalysis of spiritual power, but it cannot be maintained for too long.

Qing Ling rode the unicorn beast and landed smoothly in a clearing at the bottom of Gan Yuan.

She put away the unicorn and looked around, identifying the direction. The last time I came back to Gan Yuan, I lost a bet with Li Zhong a few years ago, and came here to catch Zhu Yanbeast. As a result, Zhu Yanbeast was not caught, but was trapped in the enchantment laid by the master, and was finally punished again.

Viewed from above, Gan Yuan is roughly square, and the most central position is also where the aura is most concentrated. Chongwu's Red Soul Orb, the treasure of Zhenshan, is hidden underground at this intermediate point, protected by an enchantment built by earth spirits and wood spirits. Every thousand years, the Red Soul Bead unleashes its divine power and breaks through the barrier on the ground. As long as the winner of the Ganyuan Conference enters the enchantment when the divine power is released, he will be able to obtain the powerful power released by the Red Soul Bead and improve his skills and cultivation.

Qing Ling had heard from the senior brother that the reason why the Misty Valley Tree could shine was due to the nourishment of the Red Soul Bead for hundreds of thousands of years. The divine bead was formed at the time of the opening of the world, collecting the essence of heaven and earth, and it was already regarded as the treasure of the divine realm in ancient times.

Because of the preciousness of the Red Soul Bead, in addition to the ancient Heavenly Emperor who relocated it to the enchantment laid down by the earth spirit and wood spirit at this time, Mo Qian also set up many obstacles in the entire Gan Yuan to prevent anyone from trespassing without permission, and only when the winner of the contest entered the Gan Yuan the day after tomorrow, these enchantments and obstacles would be removed.

Qing Ling was in a hurry just now, and under the cover of the unicorn jade card, he jumped off Gan Yuan regardless of it, and when he fell to the ground, he remembered the enchantment laid by the master, and at the same time, he was annoyed, and at the same time, he had the idea of simply letting it go.

But the strange thing is that the enchantment and obstacle that Mo Qian laid in Gan Yuan are much simpler than before, no longer have a strong lethality, and are more like a protective barrier, which is not difficult for Chongwu's disciples to break. With the prohibition set by the Qilin Jade Plate, Qing Ling can completely freely walk through the jungle of the Lost Valley.

She couldn't help but wonder as she thought about various possible reasons as she slowly walked towards the center of Gan Yuan.

The further you go, the brighter the light of the surrounding Misty Valley Trees becomes, and when you are still more than ten zhang away from the Red Soul Bead, you can see the enchantment beam shrouded in mid-air, dazzling and dazzling.

In the open space next to the enchantment, there was a person sitting cross-legged, with long ink-colored hair hanging down to his waist, white clothes like snow, picturesque eyebrows, and a noble temperament.

Qing Ling suddenly paused.

Mu Chen?

How could he be here!

Countless questions poured out of Qing Ling's mind, but her heart was beating uncontrollably, as if every time she bumped into this person, she could give birth to an inexplicable panic of being a thief......

Mu Chen closed his eyes, his posture was quiet and peaceful, and he didn't notice anyone approaching.

Qing Ling remembered the conversation between Ah Jing and Mu Han tonight, those power calculations and interest scheming, which made her feel inexplicably irritable. And the man in front of him, who looked like a jade tree, didn't he commit the great crime of rebellion out of similar ambitions? In a sense, he, Ah Jing and Mu Han are indeed a genuine family!

That's right, if he hadn't revealed to the master about his private Bijin Peak, many unfortunate things wouldn't have happened!

Qing Ling took a deep breath, strode forward, and asked, "Hey, what are you doing here in Ganyuan?" ”

Mu Chen opened his eyes and raised his head.

The bottomless pair of deep and dark eyes were still cold and deep, and Qing Ling became more and more flustered when he saw it.

She didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued fiercely, "Also, why did you betray me? Last time I was at the Pavilion, I already apologized to you and promised not to bother you again, why do you still tell my master? Did you know that I was punished badly by him! ”

I copied the scriptures bitterly, and I couldn't participate in the Ganyuan Conference, but in the end, I even had the idea of running away from home. If he hadn't wanted to run away from home, he wouldn't have gone to Luo Yao tonight, and if he hadn't gone to Luo Yao, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble......

Mu Chen listened calmly, and when Qing Ling finally snorted angrily, he slowly said, "I'm sorry for making you tired." ”

Qing Ling didn't expect that Mu Chen's answer would be like this, according to her own thinking habits, no matter what, she should at least find a few excuses to prevaricate, right?

She cleared her throat, still annoyed, but her tone was obviously a little softer, "Since you know it will affect me, why do you want to say it?" ”

"Because I am in Chongwu, the lives of many people are involved, so I have to be cautious."

Qing Ling remembered all the experiences he had heard from Li Zhong about Mu Chen, and his voice unconsciously lowered, "But...... But I won't hurt you......"

Mu Chen studied her expression, "Do you know who I am now?" ”

"Hmm."

Mu Chen was silent for a moment, "Then you should also know that I was deposed by Emperor Hao, and I will not be allowed to set foot in the Chaoyan Kingdom again for the rest of my life." If people know that the Holy Monarch of Moqian has taken me in here, Chongwu's cadres and others will suffer unjustified disasters. ”

"But ......"

Qing Ling subconsciously wanted to retort, what a powerful character my master is, the number one master of the Eastern Continent God Clan, who can have the courage to trouble us Chongwu?

But tonight, for the first time, she realized that many things in the world may not be as simple as she thought before.

Right and wrong, good and evil, in the face of power, it seems, become a little ambiguous.

For example, as long as Mu Han or Ah Jing give an order, someone will get rid of any enemy for them, regardless of right or wrong.

If the master really angered Emperor Hao, he would not be the only one who would be punished, but also every child of Chongwu......

The green spirit sighed faintly and slowly sat down on the ground.

If it was said that being besieged by the guards of the Monan clan at the Youxian Inn that day made her understand for the first time what it means to be truly afraid, then the content of the conversation between Ah Jing and Mu Han tonight, as well as the guards who heard the news in the night sky, made her experience the power of power for the first time.

This kind of power is strong enough to make people give up everything for it. What family affection, what justice and sincerity, all can be left behind!

She bent her legs, her chin rested on her knees, and turned her head to look at Mu Chen, "I heard that you were severely punished by Emperor Hao because of your rebellion and usurpation." ”

Mu Chen maintained a sitting posture and said "um" softly.

Qing Ling pondered and said, "When I first heard about this, to be honest, I thought you were a bit excessive. But now that I think about it, if I were you, I might have done the same. ”

Mu Chen glanced sideways at Qing Ling, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Why?" ”

Qing Ling propped his chin and said solemnly: "Because you have a sinister brother." ”

She paused, "If that Mu Han is my younger brother, I definitely want to beat him every day!" But in this case, Emperor Hao will definitely not be happy...... So, just ascend to the throne of God as soon as possible, and teach that kid a lesson in the name of righteousness! ”

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly chuckled.

At this moment, his smile was rare and gentle, revealing a kind of heartfelt purity, and even the lingering coldness and depth in his eyes faded a little.

Qing Ling looked at him, feeling that his thinking was a little confused, and a feeling of embarrassment and shyness, panic and joy diffused in his heart. The words that rushed to her lips were swallowed back, and she turned her head, her fingertips unconsciously picking at the corners of her dress, embarrassed by what she might have said stupidly......

Why, can't I be like Luo Yao, no matter what I say, I can be both knowledgeable and comfortable to listen to?

Alas......
