Lu Qingming originally thought that his attitude towards Gu Changsheng could be to use each other calmly and indifferently, just like the situation when the two met at the beginning. He helped her untie Qi Hansu's knot, and she gave him various benefits including the inheritance of the Sixth Peak and so on.
However, such a pure exchange relationship has unknowingly turned into the entangled situation it is now: Gu Changsheng became the key figure in Lu Qingming's return to the Light Realm; he risked his life to save her, but the two of them had a mysterious conflict. Yang Cuo had that experience...
Recently, because of the return of the treasures of the three sects and five sects, Gu Changsheng became her temporary spokesperson.
If you say that Lu Qingming's mood has not changed during this process, you are definitely being arrogant. If it was really Gu Jing Wubo, then when an accident occurred while refining the Yaoyang Sword, Gu Changsheng would have been completely destroyed by her. A sword cuts it off, where does the follow-up tug and tug come from?
Since childhood, Qingming has been accompanied by Qin Wuyi, Qi Hansu, Xiao Green Tea and others besides Jian. She never thought that one day she would have such indescribable emotions because of a person.
Is my sword heart... covered in dust?
Emperor Lu frowned slightly as a habit, and there was a trace of hesitation on his cold and peerless face.
To me, what exactly is Gu Changsheng? The spiritual comfort of a long night of loneliness; the best comrade who has fulfilled his regrets, or the one-night Taoist couple who fell in love with each other?
Lu Qingming suddenly realized that this was the first time she had faced this problem. She didn't want to do it before because she subconsciously thought that Gu Changsheng would not leave her.
Whether it was the Sixth Peak, Tianquan Ancient Road or Qi Hansu, she and Gu Changsheng had always been bound by these invisible threads, but in a trance, she suddenly realized that Gu Changsheng could actually break these threads easily. , cut off all ties and entanglements with her.
The connection and bond between them was too delicate and weak, so weak that it could almost be broken by pulling it apart, but Lu Qingming still habitually used a mask of indifference to negotiate deals with Gu Changsheng.
Once he leaves the Sword Sect with his little junior sister, am I likely to never be able to see him again?
The girl's brows furrowed deeply, and then gradually relaxed. Her temperament never liked thinking about these complicated entanglements. All along, when Lu Qingming encountered a problem that she couldn't understand, she would habitually use her sword-practicing experience to solve it:
Why do I have this weird feeling of being angry and unhappy?
Because I felt that Gu Changsheng did not show his true side to me, but instead had no reservations about another girl.
Why doesn't he show his most sincere side?
Because I was also not sincere to him. From the beginning our encounter was based on role play. He wouldn't fully trust me, and I didn't fully trust him.
Do I want him to be sincere to me?
hope.
Why?
Because I don't want to see him with anyone else.
Question after sentence, Lu Qingming seemed to be standing in front of his messy thoughts with a three-foot Autumn Water Sword in his hand. The light of the sword suddenly appeared, and as soon as the sword fell, all those messy emotions showed their final thoughts. The original situation.
Gu Changsheng who wasted time chatting with her late at night; Gu Changsheng who spoke seriously but secretly glanced at her legs from the corner of his eye; or Gu Changsheng who ran to save her tremblingly in the sea of fire despite the sea of Yang Qi...
These Gu Changsheng, who may be despicable or noble, or sincere or full of bad intentions, she does not want to be possessed by others.
The unparalleled genius who has been treading the ancient road of Tianquan for several years seems to be light and weightless when he says this sentence, but only Lu Qingming knows what it feels like to be alone on the road.
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Qingming no longer remembers much about the grinding process of breaking the road. Those memories are like sand and stones eroded by the wind. They will be blown away by the wind with a gentle pinch. Only after meeting Gu Changsheng did her memory take on a different color.
This despicable good man will definitely be a disaster if he is released, so I can't let him harm other women from good families.
She glanced at Pei Ningning, who was still dazed, and then withdrew her gaze.
Pei Ningning, right...I'm sorry, I know you came first, I didn't want to win against you.
I just don't want to lose.
After thinking about this clearly, Emperor Lu's expression suddenly became extremely relaxed. She gently picked up the little Pixiu in Gu Changsheng's arms and said calmly:
"Saving her is my own choice, whether life or death. If you really feel sorry for her, you can promise me one thing."
"Senior Sister Lu, it doesn't matter!" Gu Changsheng said decisively: "As long as you ask me, I will do it for you even if it means going up a mountain of swords and into a sea of fire."
"There is no need to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire." Emperor Lu looked at him with cold eyes without blinking: "I only have a simple request."
"any request."
"Don't lie to me again."
"..."
Gu Changsheng:?
ah? Emperor Lu, did you make something wrong?
Originally, he had already made plans to be severely slaughtered by Emperor Lu, regardless of the Taichu ancient sword, the Taichu dust-cleansing pill, or the remaining pages of the most precious scriptures. As long as she is willing to help him save Junior Sister Pixiu.
Even if it weren't for these specific rewards, Lu Qingming's request would most likely be related to Qin Wuyi or Qi Hansu, right? For example, let me cooperate with the tulle Susu to make her miserable? Or should he listen to Wu Yi and not let her get hurt?
But why don't you allow me to lie to you? The style of painting has become a bit crooked, right? Emperor Lu, right?
"Senior Sister Lu, did you put forward the wrong conditions?" Gu Changsheng said cautiously: "Do you really don't need me to go up the mountain of swords and go down the frying pan?"
"No, why should I ask you to do that?" Lu Qingming asked, "Is it more difficult for you not to lie to me than to lie to me?"
"..."
"You can't say that, it's just..."
"I just asked you not to lie to me. I didn't ask you to confess everything to me." Lu Qingming said lightly: "You can choose not to tell me, but once you tell me, you will never lie to me. Can you do it?"
"Senior Sister Lu, are you joking? You are a master of Xuanxuan. It's not easy to see if I've lied to you..."
"I don't need that kind of means to communicate with you. This agreement will comply with your wishes. As long as you have a clear conscience, what's the difficulty in lying to me?" Emperor Lu said calmly: "As a condition of reciprocity, from now on, I won’t lie to you again. I mean what I say.”
Gu Changsheng was slightly startled, and looked at Lu Qingming with a strange expression. If it were normal, Gu Changsheng would have agreed without blinking an eye. After all, he couldn't lie or anything... He had a clear conscience and the magic weapon of destiny. Even if he says he is Qin Shihuang, there is no magic weapon in the world that can prove that he is lying.
But the situation is different now. Emperor Lu actually learned to use the emotional card to restrain Gu Changsheng - he often talks to a few young ladies, tugging his tongue here and there to show off his acting skills. But this does not mean that Emperor Huang Mao is not an emotional person.
Lu Qingming was willing to take risks to save Pei Ningning, who had nothing to do with her. If Gu Changsheng agreed at this time, then he would really have to fulfill his promise honestly.
"It's okay if you don't want to." Lu Qingming seemed to notice Gu Changsheng's hesitation and said calmly: "Don't worry, whether you agree to this request or not, it won't affect my rescue of junior sister for you."
Emperor Yilu's temperament naturally disdained the use of such threatening methods, not to mention that she had already cleared the mess with her sword and cleared her mind, so she naturally wanted to gradually increase the trust between the two. .
"Senior Sister Lu...I promise you." Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth and said, "I swear an oath to someone..."
"That's enough." Lu Qingming turned his head calmly and said, "I only need a promise, no oath is needed."
"..."
Gu Changsheng: Emperor Lu, something is wrong with you?
He was keenly aware that the Lu Qingming in front of him seemed different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different. At the moment, little Pixiu is not completely out of danger, and Gu Changsheng has no time to investigate in detail, so he nodded and said:
"Senior Sister Lu, let's get started!"
…
With the completion of a simple spirit locking array, Pei Ningning, who was in the center of the array, finally stopped leaking spiritual energy from her body. However, this was obviously only temporary. Without further repairs, the spiritual energy in Pei Ningning's body would eventually collapse. Lu Qingming stretched out her little hand and slowly slid through the void. The sky frost sword energy condensed into a temporary sword blade in the palm of her hand.
Gu Dahuangmao was dumbfounded when he saw Lu Qingming's move of holding the sword casually. As a practitioner of Tianshuang Sword Intent, he naturally knew that this seemingly simple action represented the terrifying control of the Sword Intent. Knowing that Tianshuang's sword intent is the strongest, it is no wonder that Emperor Lu can become the only genius who has stepped on the ancient path of Tianquan.
"Use your mountain and river map to suppress her broken heavenly palace!" Lu Qingming shouted in a low voice: "I'm going to let go of the restriction!"
Gu Changsheng did not dare to slack off after hearing this, and quickly displayed the Tianshu Mountains and Rivers map in the Heavenly Palace. A beam of pure white light fell on the little Pixiu in the center of the spirit locking array. The next moment, Lu Qingming suddenly withdrew the liquid that had been injected into Pei Ningning's body. Tianshuang Sword Qi, the perfect golden elixir Daoyun that had been suppressed just now seemed to burst like a dam, frantically repairing and condensing the prototype of the golden elixir.
This is the golden elixir that Pei Ningning failed to condense. Logically speaking, once the golden elixir fails to condense, it cannot be restarted halfway. It must wait until the foundation is solidified again before it can form the elixir a second time.
But every time the foundation is broken into a pill, the impact on Daoji is substantial. Even if the surface is repaired, there will be deep damage inside. Therefore, after many monks fail to form an elixir once, it will be more difficult to form an elixir later.
Little Pixiu's condition at the moment is worse than those who failed to form the elixir three or four times. Fortunately, the Realm-Leaping Pill that Gu Changsheng gave her was powerful enough, and the Perfect Golden Pill Dao Yun was also powerful enough. With the combined efforts of the two, a brand new Dao foundation was once again solidified.
"Bang!"
A dull crash sounded, and the Daoji in Pei Ningning's body trembled violently, with a faint crack appearing.
Naturally, she couldn't take the initiative to break the base into a pill when she was in a coma, so this time it was Lu Qingming who helped her hit the Dao base to form the pill.
After the first impact, Lu Qingming frowned slightly and looked a little depressed. Forming elixirs for others is definitely the most outrageous of all. If it were in the Fluctuating Light Domain where the will of Heaven was intact, I'm afraid that even before the first hit came out, it would have been chopped into pieces and nothing would be left.
Even the powerful men in the Guixu Realm would not dare to do such a thing, but Lu Qingming and Gu Changsheng wanted to accomplish such a defiant act in the Tianquan Ancient Road, which was full of secrets.
Gu Changsheng finally understood why Lu Qingming said this method was very risky. After just one hammer blow, Gu Changsheng felt that he was being targeted by some kind of force. Even though the will of heaven in the ancient road of Tianquan has been broken, it is not something he can bear at his age.
"If you can't, remember to ask." Lu Qingming said calmly without looking back, "I can come alone."
"No, come again!" Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the turbulent Jindan Palace.
"Bang!!!"
The power of the second hammer was even greater. Gu Changsheng was unable to resist the sudden surge of curse power, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat.
"continue!"
The third hammer, the fourth hammer, Lu Qingming's Tianshuang Sword Intention turned into an invisible sledgehammer, hitting Pei Ningning's Daoji. It was not until the fifth hammer that the Daoji suddenly shattered, and a The golden elixir is somewhat dim in appearance but surprisingly large in size.
"Tiangong's treasure, throw it over!"
Little Pixiu naturally couldn't find a suitable Tiangong treasure to complete the elixir formation at the moment. Gu Changsheng had no choice but to find it from his own collection.
The scriptures of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect? The soul flag of Juling Cult? Which one is the most suitable treasure for Pei Ningning?
"No time to hesitate, Dao Bell Fragment! Hurry!" Lu Qingming gritted his teeth and groaned, and a bright red blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth, as if he was under tremendous pressure at this moment.
Gu Changsheng quickly opened the Qiankun bag and took out the treasure fragment of Tianyan Sect. The bronze fragment seemed to have found its target as soon as it appeared, and was actively attracted by Pei Ningning's Dantian.
The moment the two merged, the brilliance was dazzling. When Gu Changsheng's consciousness was immersed in it again, what he saw was a splendid and splendid Tiangong, as well as the quietly suspended fragments of the Tiangong Zhenwu Dao Bell.
Looking carefully, there is an phantom of an ancient bronze bell emerging behind the fragment of the bell. After doing all this, Lu Qingming, who had been holding on in the sky, suddenly fell straight down, and his cold and peerless little face turned pale and bloodless.
As the executor of this heaven-defying elixir formation, the pressure and curse she received were much greater than those of Gu Changsheng, so her strength was also severely damaged.
Gu Changsheng watched helplessly as the weakened Emperor Lu fell down like a kite with its string cut off. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that after the spirit locking array stopped operating, the little Pixiu floating in the air was about to fall.
The classic tram problem was placed in front of Gu Changsheng. At this moment, Gu Dahuangmao could not save either of them due to the erosion and spread of the power of the curse. He could only watch the two girls falling to the ground.
Gu Changsheng: "..."
So now the question comes again, who should I crawl to first to check on the situation?
