Wei Yu returned to the Presbyterian Church shortly after Nangong Yun left, because when he attended the blessing ceremony, he found that Qingchen, who was always beside her, was not there.
Therefore, he could easily guess that Qingchen might want to take Yu Ruoling away secretly while he was away from the Presbyterian Council.
Although he had made enough preparations and even used the family magic weapon, the soul-binding lock, he knew one thing clearly.
That is, this soul-binding lock is very likely to be broken by Qingchen, because although the soul-binding lock is absolutely impossible for ordinary practitioners to break, for a swordsman like Qingchen, it is easy.
Therefore, Wei Yu left before the blessing ceremony was completely over.
All this was seen by the female monarch Qingqiu who was still hosting the ceremony.
She still completed every step of the ceremony calmly and elegantly, and finally, amidst the cheers of thousands of people in the Eastern Wilderness, the blessing ceremony came to a perfect conclusion.
When she finished the grand ceremony and walked off the altar to go to the temple, she was stopped by a group of Ziyun Sect disciples led by Hong Juan and Liu Yulan.
I saw Hongjuan walking slowly in front of Qingqiu. The guards on both sides wanted to step forward to stop her, but Qingqiu raised his hand to signal him to retreat.
She said with a smile before Hong Juan could speak.
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
Hong Juan really didn't expect that the "handsome young man" she met by chance at the door of the inn that day was actually the current queen of the Eastern Barren Temple.
Although she and Xiaoyun had already guessed her true identity through inference before.
However, only after Hong Huan had participated in the blessing ceremony hosted by Qingqiu from beginning to end, she finally believed that Qiu Cheng turned out to be Qingqiu.
Moreover, Hongwen was also amazed by Qingqiu's female makeup. Although she was not inferior to her in terms of appearance, she could not learn from Qingqiu's extraordinary prowess after disguising herself as a man.
Hongchan smiled and replied.
"If I had known that it was you, Your Highness, at least there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings."
"haha, really?"
Qingqiu smiled elegantly.
"It seems that what I am best at is still very good!"
Hongwen couldn't help but said happily when she saw that Qingqiu, as the queen of the Eastern Wasteland Temple, didn't look domineering at all, but instead gave people a very kind and humble feeling.
"I really didn't expect that the legendary queen would be so elegant, gentle, and approachable. No wonder everyone respects you so much, Your Highness."
"Oh, everyone? Does that include you?"
Although Qingqiu had put on the solemn attire of a female monarch at this time, her speech and demeanor still retained some of the habits she had when she was disguised as a man.
Because her natural temperament is so free and elegant, so when Hong Juan suddenly heard her asking her this question, she blushed unconsciously.
"Your Highness the Queen laughed. Hong Juan admired your Highness's demeanor very much and was also happy."
When Qingqiu heard what Hong Juan said, he naturally understood what she meant, and then waved to the guard beside him.
"Take them to the side hall to wait. I will come after I take off my costumes."
"yes!"
Later, Hong Juan and Liu Yulan followed the guards to the side hall, while the others were arranged to wait outside the hall.
Not long after, the two of them were taken to a magnificent palace by the guards. Everything here was arranged very elegantly and appropriately.
Hong Juan didn't feel any restraint here. She had been to the Nanyue Palace. Compared with the grandeur and solemnity there, this palace made people feel more comfortable.
She and Liu Yulan didn't wait long in the side hall before Qingqiu came here alone.
She was seen wearing a snow-white and elegant tunic, her black hair was tied on top of her head with a simple jade hairpin, her expression was delicate and graceful, and her face was beautiful yet elegant.
Hongjuan looked at Qingqiu in surprise. She suddenly felt that this legendary queen seemed to have some special hobbies.
However, she and everyone from the Ziyun Sect naturally had more important things to do when they came today, so when she came to Qingqiu, she immediately saluted her respectfully and said.
"Your Highness, you must be aware of the purpose of our coming here. We would like to know what qualifications Wei Yu has to forcibly detain Sister Yu in the Presbyterian Church?"
Hong Juan asked straight to the point, because in her understanding, the Council of Elders was affiliated with the Donghuang Temple, which meant that Wei Yu was actually a subordinate of Qingqiu.
In this case, Wei Yu relied on himself as the head of the Presbyterian Council to do those things unscrupulously, and naturally the temple should give an explanation.
After Qingqiu heard Hong Juan's words, he smiled lightly.
"I left Donghuang for a while due to some matters. It was during this time that he suddenly did these inexplicable things. I think he might not just be for Yu Ruoling."
When Qingqiu was talking about this, his beautiful eyes glanced at Liu Yulan beside Hongwen and continued.
"If my guess is correct, he has never seen your sect leader Yu Ruoling, right?"
Liu Yulan knew that Qingqiu was asking her, so she answered without thinking.
"Never, even before this happened, I didn't know who was in charge of the Donghuang Presbyterian Church. I have followed the master since I was a child, I am sure of this."
Liu Yulan said this in a very positive tone, because since she could remember, she had never seen her master have a relationship with any man, let alone an old man like Wei Yu who was decades older than her master.
She actually had more to say just now, but before she was sure about Qingqiu's attitude towards Wei Yu, she did not dare to be disrespectful to Wei Yu, the head of the Presbyterian Church, in front of her.
However, Qingqiu knew very well what Liu Yulan was thinking, because she had long discovered that Liu Yulan's tightly clenched pink fists had never let go after seeing her.
Liu Yulan's resentment and anger were naturally not directed at Qingqiu. Qingqiu also knew this. The reason why she asked Liu Yulan about this matter was of course because she also did not believe the rumors that Wei Yu had deliberately spread.
However, as the queen of the temple and the actual controller of Donghuang, she must be fair in dealing with matters. She will neither favor her subordinates nor allow the Ziyun Sect to be wronged.
Therefore, she wanted to ask about this matter personally and make sure that Yu Ruoling was forced, because only in this way could she intervene in this matter as the queen of the temple.
At this moment, Hongjuan on the side asked with some confusion.
"Your Highness, are these things important? Wouldn't it be simpler for us to just ask Wei Yu to let Sister Yu go, and then let her tell everyone in person how despicable Wei Yu is?"
Hong Juan's thoughts were very simple, so what she said was also very direct.
Qingqiu was not angry after hearing what Hong Juan said. She had seen many people like Hong Juan who were emotionally impulsive due to personal feelings.
However, impulse cannot solve the problem very effectively, not to mention that there are many things involved in this matter. Qingqiu has no doubt that the reason why Wei Yu dares to act so blatantly and recklessly is that he must have something to rely on, otherwise, he is Would never risk doing something so stupid.
However, these things may trigger long-standing conflicts between the temple and the Presbyterian Church. Although her knowledge of these grievances is very limited, she is not completely sure that she can face it all alone.
Because her master Duguxue has not yet awakened, she is unwilling to completely fall out with the Presbyterian Council at this time. After all, if things get out of hand, they can only be solved by strength.
And this is exactly what she is worried about, that is, once the temple breaks with the Council of Elders, she will have to face Wei Yu, whose cultivation is two levels higher than hers.
Although Qingqiu was confident that she would not necessarily lose to Wei Yu with her own talent and blood, however, she had to consider what she would do if she really lost? !
Hongjuan found that Qingqiu fell into deep thought for a long time after hearing her words. She knew that Qingqiu must be worried about something, but in Hongjuan's heart, she had to save Yu Ruoling no matter what. .
Even if the temple chooses to stand by or ignore this matter, she will still go to Wei Yu and ask for people directly.
Therefore, after some thinking, Hong Juan spoke decisively.
"If Her Majesty the Queen is unwilling to come forward to rescue Sister Yu, at worst, I will go directly to the Presbyterian Council to ask Wei Yu for someone. I want to see how capable he is. Isn't he just a little higher than Wan Zhentian in cultivation? I'm in a hurry. I will make him pay the price!"
Qingqiu was originally weighing the possibility of success if she intervened in this matter, but she did not expect that Hong Juan in front of her could say such a thing.
Moreover, she mentioned Wan Zhentian in her words, and Qingqiu suddenly remembered a piece of news that came from the Western Region not long ago that shocked the entire continent.
Then, she couldn't help but ask softly.
"Could it be that Wan Zhentian was killed by you?!"
Hongjuan replied coldly upon hearing this.
"Yes, he deserves to die. Xiaoyun has lost his family since he was a child, so I will destroy him and the entire Wanxiang Sect!"
Qingqiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, because Hong Juan looked like a soft girl, but he didn't expect her heart to be so determined and strong.
Moreover, Qingqiu also found that although he had known Hongjuan for a short time, he felt a brave and fearless passion from her.
Perhaps being infected by her emotions, Qingqiu suddenly felt that as the controller of the Eastern Wasteland Temple, how could he lose to a woman younger than her!
Then, she said with a faint smile.
"You are quite capable, but the person we have to face this time may be much stronger than you think. Are you afraid?"
Qingqiu looked very calm when she said this, and her voice was also very calm. However, Hongjuan heard the two most important words in her words.
That's "us"!
Because Qingqiu can say "we", it means that she is willing to stand with everyone in Ziyun Sect to fight against Wei Yu.
However, Hong Juan did not know that the "we" mentioned by Qingqiu only included her and Hong Juan.
However, although Hong Juan did not understand Qingqiu's words, Nangong Yun did.
I saw Nangong Yun standing outside the door at this time, clasping his fists and saluting Qingqiu in the hall.
"Senior sister has always been outspoken, but if Her Highness the Queen can come forward to uphold justice, then our chances of winning will be much higher!"
When Qingqiu turned around and saw the young man outside the door, her expression gradually became a little unbelievable.
But Hong Juan on the side smiled sweetly.
"This is my junior brother Nangong Yun!"
"Is he the Xiaoyun you mentioned?"
"Yes!"
Only then did Hongju realize that Qingqiu looked at Xiaoyun in a strange way. She didn't know why Qingqiu was acting like this. Could it be that she had met Xiaoyun before, but Xiaoyun had never told her.
So Hongjuan asked in confusion.
"Does Your Highness know Xiaoyun?"
"I don't know you! But I feel very familiar!"
Qingqiu's answer made Hongjuan even more confused. Why?
However, at this moment Nangong Yun said with a smile.
"I have heard legends about you since I was a child, but I didn't expect that today I can finally see it with my own eyes. It's really magical and you live up to your reputation!"
Qingqiu looked at Nangong Yun with a surprised look on his face and said slowly.
"Can you see it?"
"Yes!"
