No one could answer the questions that puzzled Elder Zuo.
Near their destination in the distance, in the Demon -Demon-Suppressing City, which is quite close to the Demon Battlefield, a girl dressed in black and holding a sword stood on the city wall, gazing at the vast Demon Battlefield in the distance, her long hair being whipped by the wind.
"Sister Qu, are we... really going to the Demon Battlefield?"
A faint, worried voice reached her ears, accompanied by the howling wind and a hint of coldness.
Upon hearing this, Qu Youmeng turned her head slightly to look at the woman beside her. She saw worry and a hint of guilt on the woman's face.
The woman in green beside her said softly and sadly, "Sister Qu... I heard that the Demon Battlefield is extremely dangerous. Actually... actually, you didn't have to do this. You've already done so much for our Liu Household. I... I..."
Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and under the gaze of the woman in black, she gradually became unable to utter a single word.
Qu Youmeng shook her head slightly, unconvinced.
She said softly, "These past few days, we have been very grateful for the care you have given us, Liu Household. Now, your Liu Household's ancestor is nearing the end of his life and is on the verge of death. It is only right that I do not stand idly by."
So, what about emotionally?
Why only consider reason and not emotion?
Liu Xian'er understood Qu Youmeng's meaning, opened her mouth, suppressed the question that welled up in her heart, and her expression became even more embarrassed.
Qu Youmeng's gaze towards her was also quite complex.
That day, the teleportation array in the Profound Domain shattered. She was protected by her master's Spiritual Power and was fortunate enough to be teleported to the Eastern Continent. She survived, but unfortunately, she was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Fortunately, he was rescued by Liu Xian'er, a young girl from the Liu Household, and slowly recovered from his injuries and regained his health at the Liu Household.
During this time, she gradually learned a lot about the Eastern Continent.
Not only in the Eastern Continent, but also in this Demon-Suppressing City, the Demon Battlefield, and the Liu Household.
In the vast and boundless Eastern Continent, even a single realm is far larger than the Profound Domain, not to mention the scale of its cities. In the Profound Domain, such a city would be beyond the control of even a royal-level power.
Royal-level power... Qu Youmeng couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of those words.
Those memories, though still vivid, now seem to have lost their warmth.
Let alone a royal-level power, even Venerable would find it difficult to establish a force here.
Although Liu Xian'er's Lineage has Venerable One in charge, let alone in this Eastern Continent, even in the Great Lie Dynasty of the Primordial Holy Heaven, the Liu Household is just an extremely weak and insignificant Lineage.
During this time, Qu Youmeng recovered from her injuries while diligently absorbing knowledge from this new world, gradually integrating into it, and becoming very good friends with Liu Xian'er, who had initially saved her.
Furthermore, as time passed, her injuries gradually healed. Although she was seriously injured at first, she was protected by her master's Spiritual Power, which prevented damage to her soul. After so long of recuperation, her physical injuries were almost completely healed.
The Demon-Suppressing City is vast, Liu Household is weak, so disputes are inevitable.
By chance, after Qu Youmeng resolved a crisis for the Liu Household, her terrifying talent was fully revealed, and from that moment on...
Everything has changed.
At first, the Liu Household was shocked, stunned, and even ecstatic.
They extended olive branches to her countless times, trying to invite her to join the Liu Household and become a part of Liu Household, but Qu Youmeng rejected them all.
It's true that the Liu Household had been kind to her.
However, this debt of gratitude was not enough for her to betray her sect and go to such lengths.
Even after arriving in the Eastern Continent, where fish can leap freely in the sea and birds can fly in the sky, Qu Youmeng's thoughts were still on her master and the other senior and junior sisters and brothers of the Sword Pavilion.
The Eastern Continent is so vast, we don't know where they have all been teleported to, or when we will be able to meet again.
Qu Youmeng never doubted that they might never meet again.
She was well aware of the talents of all her senior and junior classmates; none of them were ordinary and they would surely shine brightly one day in the future.
only...
As she refused time and time again, and as she stayed in the Demon-Suppressing City longer, she could feel the subtle changes in the Liu Household's attitude towards her.
This change is not obvious, but if you skip the process and only look at the beginning and the present, you can feel the suddenness of it.
The most significant change occurred around...
'It all started when I refused to get married...'
Qu Youmeng lowered her eyes slightly, the curve of her lips hardening slightly.
Some time ago, to show his sincerity, the head of the Liu Household family personally visited her to discuss the possibility of her marrying into the Liu Household and forming a happy union.
This incident completely shattered Qu Youmeng's perception of the Liu Household.
She had politely declined his advances before, but this time, he actually proposed marriage, which seemed rather ungrateful.
It's simply because they felt she was an orphan, seriously injured and alone in a foreign land, with no one to rely on...
Moreover, during her time with the Liu Household, she had solved countless problems for them. Anyone with eyes could see that someone with her talent could never stay in a small Lineage.
But the Liu Household, relying on the life-saving grace...
This is how the rift between the two sides came about.
Although it was Liu Xian'er who truly saved her, Liu Xian'er was also Liu Household, so the credit should belong to the Liu Household family, which is perfectly reasonable.
Liu Xian'er had always wanted to mediate between them, but unfortunately, she couldn't choose between her friends and her family, and she couldn't make a clean break no matter which one she chose.
not to mention...
During this time, Qu Youmeng could also see Liu Xian'er's attitude.
She had once mentioned her master, fellow disciples, and other fellow disciples to Liu Xian'er. At that time, Liu Xian'er couldn't help but blurt out, "Sister Qu, can't you stay here?"
From that moment on, Qu Youmeng understood everything.
However, she didn't say anything, just smiled casually.
That's why Qu Youmeng had to go on this journey to the Demon Battlefield.
She went to the Demon Battlefield in search of a spiritual substance that could prolong life, which was the ancestor of the Liu Household.
The Liu Household saved her life, so she will repay them with Liu Household own.
After that, the score was settled.
She can then leave with a clear conscience.
Let's go.
Thinking of this, Qu Youmeng no longer hesitated and said calmly, "With me here, even on Demon Battlefield, I can protect you."
"They're just mere demons. In my homeland... I've personally slain many of these Alien Race!"
