"You don't think of this child as a substitute for her, do you?" the woman couldn't help but ask, her tone a little worried.

"Of course not. Lingxi replied, "But I would like to ask you to help this child, and I have been influenced by her to some extent, I do not deny that." ”

"Is that how much she has an impact on you, big enough to make you gamble your life?" the woman's face changed, and her eyes were full of grief and unwillingness.

"It's not that she has a great influence on me, it's this damn world! She won't even give me a small piece of pure land! Even my last warmth will be taken away! Do you know what it feels like to see her die with your own eyes but be powerless? From that moment on, I knew that without power, I was not even qualified to control my own destiny in this world! What do you want me to do?"

At this time, the spirit rhino seemed to have suddenly touched the most vulnerable part of his heart, and suddenly entered a hysterical state, roaring at the woman.

The air around the gazebo also became dull, and the floating clouds scattered as if they had been scared away.

"I'm sorry, Qinghe. Lingxi realized his gaffe and apologized with embarrassment, "Obviously, I've troubled you a lot. ”

"Lingxi, I won't be angry with you, never. The woman called Qinghe just shook her head without waves, and her tone was full of pity, "It's just, watching you continue to put more and more pressure on yourself in order to achieve your goals all these years, I really can't bear to let you become like this." ”

Qinghe suddenly stepped forward, hugged Lingxi, and said in a pleading tone: "I won't tell you to give up, just like you won't control Qingjue's life, I will respect your choice." It's just that you can rely on me a little more, rely on Master Ji Ling a little more, instead of silently enduring so much by yourself. ”

Lingxi's expression gradually calmed down, and he also raised his hand and gently hugged Qinghe back.

"I don't care, don't worry. ”

Feeling that Lingxi's mood had gradually stabilized, Qinghe also gently let go of her, although this is the top of the colorful clouds, but it is not easy to say whether anyone is watching from a distance, Qinghe knows that Lingxi has a good face, and he still has some restraint.

Qing He hadn't seen the Lingxi so closely for a long, long time, in the past two years, every time the Lingxi came to the White Emperor City, he took a look at Ning Ning's situation and left, this time he stayed for a surprisingly long time, even Qinghe was a little strange.

Lingxi's face still didn't show any change compared to the first time they met, and the years didn't seem to have left any traces on her. But Qinghe knew very well that the Lingxi in front of him was no longer the innocent girl she was back then.

The years don't take special care of anyone, and those invisible scars remain in Lingxi's heart.

Her heart is already another person.

"Lingxi, how can you have time to stay with me for so long this time?"

"Ji Ling has encountered something, so I can only come to you to avoid it. Lingxi smiled, "After all, the people who want my life in the Tu Nan Kingdom should be able to line up from Luojing to Changling, right?"

"You treat me as a refuge, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and you only think of me when you are in trouble?" Qinghe quipped angrily.

"Yes, I thought about it, I'm afraid the only one who can protect me in the whole world is you, the city lord of White Emperor City. ”

"I'm just a three-legged cat city lord with a fox and a fake tiger, and I can't protect you if something happens. If you have the heart to kill you, you probably have to be a master of the Divine Realm. ”

"Don't talk about Shenliu, even if it is one of the few transcendents, how many dare to break into this Tiangang Sword Formation?"

"Why is it that such a supreme master as a transcendent person is so unbearable in your mouth?"

Lingxi didn't reply again, his gaze had already drifted to the distant sky, and Qinghe couldn't help but follow Lingxi's line of sight.

The brilliance of the morning sun reflected the white emperor city shrouded in colorful clouds into a drunken red, and even the rivers below the mountain were immersed in the color of this oil painting.

In a trance, a gentle and mournful hoof sound resounded throughout the sky. A white crane loomed in the gap between the clouds, drawing a smooth arc.

The white crane is obviously not a common animal near the White Emperor City, Qing He, who grew up here, knows very well that the white crane is a spirit beast that has always been by the side of the spirit rhino.

Qing He, who had long been accustomed to the company of colorful clouds, could clearly see that the white crane had a cylindrical thing tied to its feet, presumably bringing the news she had been waiting for for Lingxi.

The white crane flew slowly and finally landed quietly in front of the veranda. Lingxi stepped down from the veranda and gently stroked the feathers on the crane's neck and wings, wiping some of the obvious dirt off its body, and then leaned down to pick up the cylinder on its feet.

As Qinghe expected, there was a letter in the cylinder.

Lingxi opened the folded letter and read it carefully, and the more he read it, the more solemn his expression became.

"Lingxi, what's going on?" Sensing the change in Lingxi's expression, Qinghe couldn't help but ask.

"Do you remember the kid I told you about?"

"Qing Jue's child, what's wrong with him?"

"Something happened to his sect. ”

"What's going on with that cold mountain, what's going on, what's going on with that kid?"

"The news didn't mention it, but I can't leave here for a short time, so I can't help him with anything, I can only hope that he can turn evil into good fortune. ”

"Since he is Qingjue's child, you haven't found someone you can trust to protect him by his side for so many years?"

"Apart from Ji Ling, is there anyone else I can trust 100%?" Lingxi's expression was very serious.

"Alas. Qing He thought about it, among the people that Lingxi could trust, except for Ji Ling, it was himself and the medical immortal of the Butterfly Valley, there were only three people, the medical immortal did not practice martial arts, and he couldn't leave this White Emperor City, and he really couldn't find a fourth person who could rest assured.

"That's better than letting him be alone in the rivers and lakes. ”

"I promised Qingjue that her child is my child, and I am both his father and his mother. Overprotecting him will only attract more attention, and it will hurt him. ”

"You're really ruthless, that's Qingjue's only child. ”

"The whole point of my life now is to complete my revenge. Nothing else can be a stumbling block for me. ”

Lingxi's tone was tough and cold, but Qinghe knew very well that his good sister was never good at lying.

If you really don't care about that child, why did you deliberately bring Ning Ning to White Emperor City to learn martial arts and cure diseases, not to bring a little more help to that child.

If you really don't care about that child, how can you talk about him inadvertently, the air pressure that has been tense will become softer, and even the eyes will be much softer.

If he really didn't care, how could he cry all night on that rainy night thirteen years ago, holding him in the rain and still a baby?

Qing He fell into the memories of the past, completely unaware of the shock and anger in Lingxi's eyes after seeing the second half of the letter.

There is even a trace of uneasiness that is extremely rare in Lingxi.
