Qing Yue'er and Shangguan You made an actual trip quite far. They took two whole days before finally returning to Shangguan You's log cabin. Qing Yue'er so wondered if the old man had indeed been living in the hut all this time.
"Uncle Master, do you really live here?" qing Yue'er asked curiously.
"No, just occasionally. Surely if I feel tired." Shangguan You stared at his own cottage. There is a sense of pleasure in itself because it has a cottage that according to him has an important role for his life. "Actually I live in an academy as well. Far enough from here."
Qing Yue'er nodded in understanding. Suddenly the old man asked her, "So, why can't Han Qiong be found for now?"
"Teacher in closed door meditation," Qing Yue'er replied. "There's no more hostility, is there?"
Shangguan You chuckled. He was ashamed to know the truth. It turns out that he misunderstood everything. A week ago he had already taken the time to ask his teacher about what had really happened. Even though his teacher did not allow him to enter and only let him stay outside. However, the old man wanted to tell her the truth.
Everything was as Han Qiong had said. Perhaps all this time he himself had been shut down by jealousy. After all Han Qiong was higher than him in all aspects. But now he has confirmed his way of thinking.
They're getting old. It seems that it is inappropriate if they have to be at odds like the younger generation in general. Yes, old people should educate their offspring well, right? Thinking about this only made him laugh in embarrassment. "I want to meet him and apologize."
"Maybe my teacher will be shutting down for a long time. I don't know either." Qing Yue'er shrugged both of her shoulders. Then he asked, "Why doesn't the teacher's grandfather seem to interfere in other affairs?"
"What to interfere with? I think maybe the old man has reached his limit" Shangguan You said without hesitation.
"Why is Uncle talking like that? Up to the limit? Is it possible that her life won't be long?" Qing Yue'er was curious.
"On life and death who would know," said Shangguan You, "well, he's too old."
"You don't look sad or afraid of losing," led Qing Yue'er.
"I think it's appropriate. I mean, if it's time to be called then as a human what can be done? Rather than continue to defy destiny and just end up receiving heavenly tribulation."
"That's true too."

Currently Luo Qingqi had just opened the door when someone came to her. He was Jing Ling. The girl approached him and asked, "Is Xinyu around?"
Luo Qingqi shook her head. "She's gone, it's been two days."
Jing Ling looked surprised. "Where is he? Why did I just find out?"
"I don't know for sure either. He just said that his destination was an unknown place and didn't know how long it would be." Luo Qingqi sighed. Actually Qing Yue'er's departure was not at the right time. It was because the academy was currently experiencing a bit of chaos.
"Then I'll be back. Oh, tell him I came looking for him when he's back." Jing Ling advised, then she intended to leave. However, he saw another disciple coming towards them.
The disciple smiled and said, "Sister Luo, teacher He is looking for you."
Luo Qingqi's heart instantly accelerated. He looked at Jing Ling and the girl also stared at him for a while. After that Luo Qingqi tried to calm herself down. "Is there a problem?"
The student shook his head with a hint of regret. "I don't know. Just now someone just asked me to tell you this."
"Emm, okay. You can leave now. I'll be there in a moment" Luo Qingqi said. Then the student nodded and left.
After all that was left was just the two of them, Jing Ling immediately became panicked. "No! Don't tell me that Old He already knows everything! How'this? How ...."
Luo Qingqi became dizzy hearing Jing Ling's words. She herself was already feeling anxious and Jing Ling's panic managed to make her grow even more anxious. "I don't know. Stop panicking, you're making me more anxious."
"How could I not panic? Qingqi, Xinyu is leaving and we have no one here. What if He Jin already knew about it and intended to avenge himself? And ... What about that guy named Niu Ren?" Jing Ling shook Luo Qingqi's arm violently.
Luo Qingqi sighed. This girl in front of him was truly unreliable. "Oh, come on, don't look panicked. I remember Xinyu once said that if we look anxious, others will become suspicious."
"He said that?" Jing Ling directly confirmed her attitude. He indeed believed Qing Yue'er's words the most.
"Yes." Yeah." Luo Qingqi nodded. "I'm also anxious, but I can't escape from this place. So inevitably I have to see He Jin, right?"
"How could you so willingly enter the tiger's den? I'll come with you" said Jing Ling. He felt it was heartless to let Luo Qingqi get into trouble alone. He himself felt guilty, who knew it was because of his carelessness when he was off the field.
"No need, if something happens who will tell Xinyu this matter? He will definitely worry about you," Luo Qingqi declined. Although it was still unclear why He Jin wanted to see him but he was already convinced. The old man did not know him and they had no business with each other.
Only the matter regarding Ling Suyao's death allowed them to have affairs with each other. Perhaps someone had found out about his spirit beast exchange.
"I have a way. Wait here, please don't go first. I'll be back in a while." Jing Ling said as she ran away from Luo Qingqi's dormitory. He went out of nowhere. After a while, he went back to see Luo Qingqi.
"Is that money still there with you?" jing Ling asked.
"Yes, Xinyu said to have them with me for a while."
"That's great. Then let's go."
By the time they arrived at He Jin's residence, the old man was already waiting for him with a gloomy face. He looked towards Luo Qingqi and Jing Ling in turn. There was also a disciple whose name was unknown.
"So this ...." He Jin muttered.
Suddenly the disciple next to He Jin nodded quickly. He pointed at Jing Ling with his left hand. "He, he was the one who said that Luo Qingqi had already changed her spirit beast."
He Jin nodded. He stared intently at Luo Qingqi and Jing Ling. "So what do you want to say about this?"
Meanwhile Luo Qingqi and Jing Ling were already feeling drowned. So it was because of Jing Ling's remark when they had just finished doing the spirit beast test. Then what should they do now? Jing Ling really felt guilty. He's really too careless.
"You don't answer, is that true? Luo Qingqi changed the spirit beast? For what purpose?" he Jin's. He felt suspicious for what also the girl changed the spirit beast? Was it because he was afraid that his beast would be known to others? He became suspicious. "Where's your animal? Eject now!"
Luo Qingqi felt a little doubtful, but she still showed two bears belonging to Qing Yue'er. He couldn't possibly point out the snake and .. ah, this really confused him.
After that Bright Feather and Dark Feather was shown to He Jin. Luo Qingqi herself could not say much. He was afraid to say something wrong. He better minimize his own words.
"Hm!" He Jin snorted. "I can't believe this is your animal."
"Why not believe?" asked Luo Qingqi. He was trying to keep a calm look without any anxiety visible on his face.
"Because I'm starting to suspect you. You must be the one who was involved in Ling Suyao's murder," He Jin guessed. After all he had to investigate this to the root and avenge the death of his disciple.
Jing Ling felt emotion. Although what He Jin said was indeed the truth, but he did not like how the person concluded without having any evidence. Oh, the evidence should have been removed and Luo Qingqi should not have been in trouble.
"Old Teacher, you should look for proof first," Jing Ling said fearlessly.
"So you want me to find the evidence? It won't be hard." He Jin said with a tone of ridicule. After which he exclaimed to someone else, "Take the stone! I'll see how these kids are still evasive."
Moments later someone brought a small emerald-green stone. He Jin took the stone and asked, "Do you guys know what this stone is?"
Luo Qingqi was stunned. He had heard about the emerald green stone that had a certain function. The stone was used to find out if a spirit beast had a contract with someone. What was clear was that the stone could confirm whether Luo Qingqi had a contract with the bear.
Of course this made his heart stiffen. He knew he could not escape anymore. There is no other way, the truth will surely be revealed.
"This stone can prove whether the bears are yours or someone else's." He Jin looked at Luo Qingqi triumphantly. "So do you want to check it out willingly or do I have to force you?"
Jing Ling held Luo Qingqi back from paying any heed to He Jin's words. However, Luo Qingqi certainly could not let He Jin force her. So it's better that he does it willingly. Even though he himself knew what the consequences would be.
The examination is ongoing and the results are confirmed. As per reality, the bear did not belong to Luo Qingqi. A red light shot out from the rock and it was a satisfying answer for He Jin. The old man looked at Luo Qingqi sharply. "So you didn't trade animals? So explain why you should trade it!"
Luo Qingqi smiled mockingly. "What do you think it's for? Of course to cover up my actions that killed Ling Suyao."
Jing Ling directly looked at Luo Qingqi in disbelief. She did not expect the girl would admit it directly. This is totally insane. It was the same Luo Qingqi was handing herself over to an executioner.
"You ...." He Jin stared hatefully at Luo Qingqi. So that's the truth? Even the girl admitted it directly! Good, at least he doesn't have to bother looking for who did it.
"You must be punished!" He Jin threw a spiritual qi attack at Luo Qingqi with his full strength. The girl was unable to dodge and allowed herself to accept any punishment. This is good, at least Xinyu is not here and she will admit it alone.
His body was thrown far back. The corner of his lips instantly emitted a crimson blood that was still fresh. Although he felt hurt but there was no regret in his heart. He held out a mocking smile.
"Your disciples are too disgusting. Ah, how should I describe it? He had such a good face but actually his heart was filled with thorns. If someone is not careful then they will be hurt by that thorn." Luo Qingqi said it plainly. After all this was a reality, not to drop Ling Suyao's name.
"Bad!" Of course He Jin was instantly furious. He launched another attack, but this time Jing Ling held him back. Unfortunately, his own strength was not sufficient. He also had to be affected by the attack.
"Other stupid disciples!" He Jin glared at Jing Ling. "Are you going to defend him too?"
Jing Ling nodded without hesitation. "Old Man, just so you know I hate Ling Suyao too."
He Jin gnashed his jaw. "Good! I wouldn't be satisfied if I had to kill you now. Then ... Yuan! Take them to that place! Let these people feel something worth it!"
Shortly after, someone came and took Luo Qingqi and Jing Ling forcibly. No hospitality, they were treated harshly. No one knew what He Jin would do. Surely that's not a good thing.
Luo Qingqi did not feel regret. He only hoped that Qing Yue'er would leave for a long time. Let it go, let him endure this himself. His mind was not much different from Jing Ling's. The girl expected the same. If they had to die, it would not be regrettable.
He was already happy to be able to arrive in this huge region. Everything was thanks to Qing Yue'er. The girl had already made many sacrifices for him. This is one form of retaliation although it is still not equal. That girl shouldn't be coming home now.
He Jin looked at the two small bears in front of him. They looked at him with frightened eyes. He chuckled, should he take care of this bear or kill it? However, he should have found out who the original owner of these bears was not he? Who knows, they are all conspiring.
