"How's it going? Can you move? Are there any dangers around?"
Gu Qingling opened her eyes, looked around, and replied in a very soft voice: "I can move now. It's safe. Master, don't worry. I've brought everything I need to bring, and... I don't think Pei Hongdu will hurt me."
She paused and then added: "Although he is now deeply trapped in an illusion and has lost all his memory."
Yun Chi said: "You are so... okay, if there is no problem, let's go. Remember, if you find him, you only need to leave this city, and then crush the red crystal in your hand to escape."
"Okay, thank you Master!"
"Ling'er." Yun Chi added, "If you really can't be saved, don't force it. You can leave on your own, and we'll find a way later."
Gu Qingling carefully installed the red crystal and did not answer Yun Chi. She raised her hand and opened the door. A dazzling and gentle white light slowly spread out along with the lively and busy crowd.
She was a little stunned.
Not long ago, Pei Hongdu and Gu Qingling came to the Luoxia Slope of the Demon Realm together. They wanted to watch the spectacular scene of the rainbow and the clouds falling, but they never thought that an illusory demon felt something in his heart at this moment, and simply advanced on the spot, turning all the
Everyone is involved in illusions.
Fortunately, she and Pei Hongdu reacted in time and protected all the little demons. However, unexpectedly, Pei Hongdu made a mistake and was involved in the illusion. It has been three days since then and he has not woken up.
She was very worried and decided to enter Pei Hongdu's interior and take him out despite Yun Chi's objection.
Pei Hongdu has demonic energy, and the scene inside must be full of dangers, and he may even lose his life. Gu Qingling has made enough psychological preparations.
But she never thought that Pei Hongdu's interior scene would have such an ordinary appearance.
She took the first step hesitantly.
Vendors, restaurants, singing and dancing, poetry reciting... Such scenic spots are rare, and as she walked along the street, she noticed that many people mentioned a name.
Pei family.
According to what they said, the town's current stability and peace are all due to the Pei family, a family of immortal cultivators stationed here.
Gu Qingling found an enthusiastic vendor who claimed to be a foreigner, and took the opportunity of buying something to inquire about some content.
"Pei family? Girl, you're right if you ask me!" The vendor threw the rag over his shoulder, raised his leg and stepped on the wooden box, and said cheerfully: "Since you are from other places, you should also know the boundaries of this place.
Monsters are rampant, evil spirits are overflowing, and people everywhere are in dire straits!"
Gu Qingling nodded slightly and waited for him to continue.
"But what about our small town? Everyone is well fed and clothed, all thanks to the protection of the Pei family. They send disciples to patrol outside the city and clear away the raging evil spirits and monsters on a regular basis. Our town is really lucky."
Pei Hongdu rarely mentioned family matters to Gu Qingling, and Gu Qingling would not take the initiative to ask. Unexpectedly, the Pei family was actually in charge, and it was considered a very prestigious family.
But... why has she never heard of it? From a prosperous family of immortal cultivators to a family that was ruined and only one son left to survive in the world, what exactly did it go through?
Just as Gu Qingling was about to say thank you, she noticed a commotion in the distance, then the ground trembled slightly, and a demonic aura suddenly approached, almost heading straight towards the door!
Amidst the uproar, Lu Qingling subconsciously struck out with a palm. The demonic energy was hit hard, and she fell to the ground screaming and rolling around in extreme pain.
The next second, Gu Qingling was extremely frightened!
This is not the real world, but the interior scene of Pei Hongdu. What he hit with this palm was not a monster, but Pei Hongdu!
Fortunately, she deliberately withheld her move and did not cause too much damage, otherwise Pei Hongdu would have been in trouble.
The vendor was so frightened that he froze up and shouted to her in a hurry: "Oh, girl, are you okay? You, that slap you just gave was too powerful!"
Gu Qingling shook her head and wondered slightly: How could a monster appear in this place?
Soon, she had the answer.
More than a dozen disciples from aristocratic families wearing mysterious clothes came over one after another. They looked at the monster rolling and howling on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly made a spell to seal it tightly.
Gu Qingling didn't want to attract attention. After all, she had other things to do. She was about to run away when she suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from far and near, stopping behind her.
"What are you running for?"
She suddenly stiffened and turned around slowly.
Under the clear light, the handsome young man was wearing a plain brocade robe, with dazzling silver sun-pattern wristbands on his wrists, a pair of exquisite pure black deerskin boots, and a palm-sized silver trousers hanging around his neck.
The life lock jingles and shines in action.
His face is elegant and white, but a little childish. His pupils are pure black, without a trace of impurities, and only the corners of his lips that are slowly raised contain a few strands of imperceptible arrogance and provocation.
He looked down at her.
This is... Pei Hongdu?
Gu Qingling suddenly felt a little dazed.
At this time, Pei Hongdu was about thirteen or fourteen years old, a very energetic and arrogant age.
But the real Pei family had been reduced to ashes when he was eight or nine years old. This place was indeed an illusion he had created for himself deep in his heart.
Pei Hongdu raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm asking you, why are you in a daze? Where are you from and why have you never seen me before? Everyone else is watching the fun, why are you running away?"
Sure enough, you must know that Gu Qingling's movement of sneaking away just now was very inconspicuous.
She said: "I am a foreigner, so the young master has never met me. And I didn't run away, I just have something urgent to do."
Pei Hongdu tilted his head: "Ha, you are lying."
Immediately, he waved his hand: "She has a problem. I'm afraid it is related to the monster outside the city. Catch her and take her away!"
Gu Qingling: "...Hello!"
Seeing that the disciples were about to surround him, Pei Hongdu raised his hand to stop him. He mounted his horse and walked to Gu Qingling's side, saying: "Sister, I said you should be gentler to the girl. You can get on the horse yourself, and I will push you back personally."
.”
Gu Qingling could only bite the bullet and follow the instructions.
Although Pei Hongdu was young at this time, he was already much taller than his peers. Gu Qingling was sitting behind him, and then she realized that she was only half a head taller than Pei Hongdu.
The group of people left in a grand manner. Gu Qingling looked at the back of Pei Hongdu's head in a daze, but suddenly found that the tips of his ears were so red that they were almost bleeding, and she was both laughing and crying.
As expected of him, no matter where he is or what age he is, his ears always turn red when he is shy.
But why is he shy? Did he do something?
Arriving in front of the main entrance of Pei Mansion, the disciples gathered around again and wanted to take Gu Qingling for interrogation.
Pei Hongdu said: "It's none of your business. Let's go back and report the results of this patrol. As for her, I will leave it to my young master to deal with it myself."
After everyone had dispersed, Gu Qingling couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, what are you going to do with me?"
