"At the time of the Longevity Pill incident, Sect Master Qingxu wanted to kill me to numb the Great Blue Dynasty and temporarily calm the situation."
Qingding told Tai Yu about what had happened.
By sheer luck, he had preserved a wisp of his true soul and hidden it inside the pill box. Later, when Li Fei brought the Like a Dream Order to the Great Luo Sect, he was instinctively drawn to this ownerless True Unity Magical Artifact and hid inside it, preserving a sliver of life.
"That was how I stayed by Li Fei's side. He spared my life, and my experience was of some use to him."
Qingding finished recounting his experience.
Though the story was extremely bizarre, after hearing him out, Tai Yu had basically accepted his identity.
Many of the details Qingding had described involved Qingxu and the Great Luo Sect. Those were things no outsider could possibly have known.
"Why didn't you think of having Li Fei send you back to the sect earlier?"
Tai Yu was silent for a moment before asking.
A trace of sorrow entered Qingding's voice:
"Uncle-Master Tai Yu, in my current state, this is all I'll have for the rest of my life. A wisp of remnant soul, merely clinging to existence. Even if I returned to the sect, what could I do? It would be better to stay by Li Fei's side. Perhaps I could still be of some use."
"."
Despite having weathered countless storms and possessing an unyielding will, Tai Yu could not help feeling shaken by those words.
Because he had truly understood what Qingding meant.
The so-called usefulness was not about helping Li Fei with something. It was about helping the Great Luo Sect!
Qingding had long seen that Li Fei's future was limitless
