"This is such a big undertaking, isn't it a bit too much for your current cultivation level to handle?" Qin Yi couldn't help but ask after figuring out the whole story.

"You mean... you care about me?" Meng Qingying was very happy.

"Of course I'm concerned about you." Qin Yi said seriously, "Precisely because of the scale of the operation, it's difficult to conceal. You've only been at it for a month, and people are already noticing it everywhere. It's hard for you to cope with the pressure from all sides."

"It's not that exaggerated. I have a lot of people with me, and we cooperate with many sects, including a lot in Huiyang. It's not that easy for them to ruin my plans. Besides, we haven't caused any trouble. We haven't attracted any powerful figures above the Qian Yuan level. Otherwise, if every little thing involved a Qian Yuan level expert, what would be the use of the subordinates?" Meng Qingying laughed. "I heard you were hunted down by a Qian Yuan level expert from the Witch God Sect. That's really impressive."

Qin Yi said awkwardly, "Actually, I'm running for my life right now."

Meng Qingying smiled, "Even though we have this kind of relationship, I can't fight against the Witch God Sect for you. Will you blame me?"

"How could I blame you?" Qin Yi chuckled. "Two Demonic Path Sect at the Wuxiang level are involved in a wide-ranging matter, not child's play. Besides, it's not something you can easily decide."

"Hmm..." Meng Qingying lowered her head slightly. "But if I get the chance, I'll give them a good scare."

The voice trailed off, almost inaudible. "They dared to kill you..."

Qin Yi was touched and hugged her tightly without saying a word.

Meng Qingying leaned quietly against his shoulder for a while, then said, "It's not time for Master to take full responsibility for this matter yet, so it's most appropriate for me to take charge."

Qin Yi asked curiously, "Why? Such an important matter?"

"Because we dare not rashly start from the part of the Netherworld that our sect controls, that would allow others to quietly invade our sect from other sections we have built, leaving loopholes everywhere. So what we are occupying now is a newly found section, using it as a base to conduct experiments for a few years first. It is both to cultivate my team and to explore the Netherworld for my training, that's all."

"So it's a pilot program," Qin Yi said with a smile. "What you've said has piqued my interest, and I even want to see how you operate it. It sounds very interesting."

Meng Qingying smiled slightly, "What about Minghe?"

"Your plan to capture her alive is partly to avoid provoking a major intervention from the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, isn't it?"

Meng Qingying sneered, "Of course, killing Minghe is easy. But if it provokes the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace to intervene, my leadership as the Young Master will be ruined immediately. That little brat Minghe only ever causes me trouble!"

Qin Yi tentatively asked, "Then... should I go and persuade her to leave?"

Meng Qingying asked curiously, "Have you ever thought that if you don't show up, and Minghe misunderstands that you were captured because you saved her, she will be moved to tears, and you'll be one step closer to winning her over? But once you appear in front of her, she will immediately know that you and I are connected, and you may lose her completely."

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I know."

"Then why do you still insist on seeing her?"

"As I just said, I couldn't bring myself to be in a whirlwind of Land of tenderness while she's frantically trying to save me outside," Qin Yi said earnestly. "I want her, but I won't resort to such deceitful means... I Without Shame in One's Heart, both towards her and towards you."

Meng Qingying looked at him for a while, then her smile slowly spread, "Okay... I can help you find out where she is right now."

Qin Yi asked in surprise, "That's good?"

"Of course..." Meng Qingying said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to seeing... what her expression will be then."

It's hard to know what Minghe's expression will be, but Qin Yi's expression at this moment is certainly quite interesting.

How is your mentality any different from that of a mistress in a TV drama who swaggers around in front of the wife?

Indeed, whether immortal or demonic, they are all human, especially women.

Minghe was in a real bind. Although she had been to the Netherworld Realm before, she was certainly not familiar with it. The fact that she could see things here was already due to the unique methods of the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace. It was impossible for her to use the Netherworld Shadows everywhere like Meng Qingying and the others.

Meng Qingying could even use the creatures of the Yin Realm and those dark clouds and shadows as puppets. It could be said that the whole world was her eyes, and Minghe could only honestly see and explore, and she might not even know where she was.

She was currently on the other side of the boundary bridge, not where she had originally come from, but where Qin Yi and the others had come from. This was another new map; how did she get out to get reinforcements?

"Whoosh!"

From the shadows, a Nether Serpent emerged, silently approaching the back of Minghe's neck.

Minghe didn't even turn her head. A precious light emanated from her body, and the Nether Serpent let out a miserable hiss before disappearing into the shadows.

Minghe sighed and found a rock to sit on and rest. The Netherworld Realm was not safe, and her condition was not good at the moment, so she should recover first.

With so many demonic cultivators operating covertly, it was only natural for her to investigate. However, after tracking them for some time, she had only exchanged blows with one of their Huiyang disciples initially. Since then, they had become incredibly secretive, disappearing without a trace for days, let alone being able to investigate anything.

Today, I sensed a sound somewhere and followed it, finding the boundary bridge. Through the boundary membrane, I also sensed the "evil sacrifice" on the other side. The things the Witch God Sect did at the Qiongqi Altar were already common knowledge thanks to Tai Puzi and others. Minghe's first reaction was that this was the case, so of course she would take action to destroy it.

It turned out to be a trap. When Minghe realized that "Harmony had captured" her, she was also reflecting on whether her prejudice against the demonic path was too deep-rooted, causing her to think of everything in the most evil direction. Even being tricked was because the other party had accurately calculated the influence of her prejudice against the demonic path, which was also somewhat ironic.

None of that matters anymore.

The important thing was that I met Qin Yi.

Actually... this Love Tribulation had already faded away.

She and Qin Yi didn't spend much time together, nor did they have a particularly profound love affair. Qin Yi's attraction to her Immortal Falling to the Mortal World beauty stemmed from his desire to conquer this aloof Fairy, which led to his obsession. She, on the other hand, had only developed feelings for him because, having grown up in a life of seclusion and emotional naiveté, she had fought alongside him through thick and thin, and he had protected her when she was at her weakest. After their close interactions, she had developed genuine feelings for him, which she couldn't shake off.

There are feelings involved, but it's hard to say how deep they are.

Both.

Therefore, prioritizing her pursuit of the Tao, she resolutely left.

Daoist practice involves purifying the mind and eliminating thoughts; after several years of seclusion, everything fades away.

Only a faint lingering feeling remains. Seeing him feels different from seeing other men... That's probably it... To ordinary people, this is called "seeing the innocent First Love of the past"?

But he came out to save her... The emotions I felt at that moment were indescribable.

Minghe wasn't stupid. Seeing Meng Qingying's attitude and Qin Yi's lack of resistance, she vaguely felt that there might be something fishy between Qin Yi and Meng Qingying. But how to put it? Even if he really had a relationship with Meng Qingying, the moment he sneaked out to knock her out was to save her, Minghe, even at the cost of being surrounded. His intentions were beyond doubt.

He has a relationship with Meng Qingying. Meng Qingying felt that this matter was a huge blow to Minghe, but Minghe herself might not think it was important.

She was the one who rejected his advances, the one who went on her own path to seek enlightenment. Where did she get the audacity to blame him for choosing a woman? Even if he deliberately sought out her enemies to provoke her, it wouldn't seem so strange.

The important thing is that in that moment of stealthy attack, when he was surrounded, he didn't think about anything else but to help Minghe escape.

Fortunately, the person opposite him was Meng Qingying, and fortunately, they were related; otherwise, he might have been caught in a very troublesome bloody battle.

His intentions have always been consistent.

The only question now is whether he will be honest or lie to her if he is clearly perfectly fine and leaves her anxious outside.

If it's the latter, it's actually a good thing. Minghe can finally let go of this entanglement completely and have nothing to do with this man anymore.

Just as I was thinking this, a figure vaguely appeared in front of me.

Minghe raised her head and quietly watched his approaching steps, her eyes calm, but she sighed inwardly.
