Su Guang held He Qing's hand, rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb, lowered his eyelids and asked softly: "You still don't have anything to say to me?"
He Qing said calmly, "No, what do you want me to say?"
As if he didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear, Su Guang let out a long sigh, raised his eyes to look into He Qing's eyes, his gaze as deep as an ancient well, and said faintly: "You have already come into contact with the Heavenly Dao."
He Qing's heart skipped a beat when he heard Su Guang's firm tone, and he sneered, "Don't you think that I made a deal with Tian Dao and betrayed you?"
Su Guang also smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Your recent state does not seem to be betraying me, but rather betraying yourself."
This guy is too perceptive... He Qing took a breath and said, "Suguang, you know me well. I cherish my life so much, how could I sell myself out for you?"
The smile on Su Guang's face disappeared, and he looked at He Qing for a long time without saying a word.
Her soul would leave her body every night, and she could not trace where her soul had gone, even though her body was right in front of her.
There is only one situation that can lead to this situation, that is, the Heavenly Dao takes the initiative to break the boundary between man and God, extracts He Qing's soul, and communicates with it.
At this moment, Su Guang could almost conclude that He Qing was being threatened by the way of heaven. If He Qing did not act according to the will of heaven, her fate would most likely change and end prematurely.
What could Heaven allow He Qing to do? It was nothing more than asking him to return his divine power and completely perish from the world.
But obviously this is meaningless, he will not do this for He Qing, because even if the Heavenly Dao manages to change He Qing's fate, based on the reincarnation path set at the time of creation, He Qing will definitely have an afterlife.
With this kind of thinking in reverse, He Qing really has no reason to sell out himself. After all, it is impossible to fulfill God's will. There is no need to take the risk of going against God's will and increasing his own suffering. He can just wait for reincarnation.
However, Suguang vaguely felt that there was a missing link, which seemed very important, but he could not grasp the key.
After thinking it over, he still couldn't figure it out. Su Guang could only hold her hand and kiss her on the lips: "I hope you won't."
He Qing seemed relieved, but then he narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Aren't you very confident that you can find every one of my lives? Are you worried about me?"
Although this was said in jest, it also contained some tentative intent. If Suguang said "yes", then even if this was not a love talk at all, it would at least make her feel sweet.
However, Su Guang did not say anything, but continued to hold her hand and walked slowly in the direction where the others left.
He Qing's eyes darkened, but the smile on his face deepened, and he curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Your mouth is like a clam shell, no matter how hard you hit it, it won't open."
"Maybe," Suguang said suddenly, "I'm worried about you."
"…"
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the two of them, casting an intimate reflection in the sea of flowers, affectionate and beautiful.
He Qing's eyes reflected the glow of the sunset and Su Guang's back. Suddenly, his nose felt sore. His body reacted first and hugged him from behind, greedily absorbing his scent.
Su Guang did not look back, but just looked at the empty spot in front of him with soft and somewhat unfocused eyes——
He has always been confident that he can make He Qing stay by his side forever, but during this period of time, he and He Qing have been together every night, but he doesn't know what her soul is going through, what she is hiding, or what the missing link is... Su Guang's heart seemed to be gradually enveloped by wisps of haze, making him feel depressed and uneasy.
And just now, when he saw that He Qing was conscious and his soul was almost leaving his body, the haze in his heart suddenly became heavier, as if it was going to pull him into an unknown abyss.
Su Guang had never experienced such an emotional change that was beyond his control, and he didn't know how to deal with it. He didn't like the feeling of being affected by a single move, which made him seem powerless.
But in the end, he admitted it.
This is worrying.
Even though he knew that he could find every life of He Qing even if she died, he was still worried.
It's really ridiculous...
He Qing had no idea what Su Guang was thinking. He was just happy that he could pry open Su Guang's mouth. After calming down his joy that almost made him cry, he said in a muffled voice, "You lose."
Su Guang was stunned for a moment before he realized that He Qing was taking revenge on him for forcing her to express her feelings through actions in the secret room in Tianshu Mountain. Su Guang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But thanks to He Qing's interruption, the haze lingering in Su Guang's heart also dissipated a lot. He shook his head helplessly: "You really are a person who holds grudges."

Although Ye Cangyan would visit Le Qingru at least once a year, they had never spent a long time together. In addition, in previous meetings, they were always in a hurry in order to avoid being discovered by Le Ling. It was rare for the father and daughter to sit down and have a good chat like this.
Everyone could see that Ye Cangyan was feeling awkward, because even though he knew that all the guests would not be eating, he still ordered someone to prepare a table full of delicious food and wine.
So, in Ye Cangyan's Qingqu Cave, a group of monks who did not eat at all looked at the delicious food in front of them, and the scene seemed a bit funny.
Fortunately, Yue Qingru lacked self-control. Although he had been fasting for more than half a year, the aroma of meat kept drilling into his nose. He couldn't bear it for long before his stomach made a "gurgling" sound. The weird atmosphere immediately eased a little.
He Qing said, "Eat if you want to. After you finish eating, find a way to purify the smoke."
Yue Qingru immediately smiled and looked eagerly at Hua Chiyu, who also couldn't help laughing and said, "I'll help you."
With the permission from his master and the support of his senior sister next door, Le Qingru was completely relieved. He immediately grabbed the roasted rabbit in front of him and started to gobble it up.
Ye Cangyan looked at Le Qingru with eyes full of fatherly love, and sighed: "Qingru was in Lingshan for a year, thanks to meeting you."
Hua Chiyu said considerately: "Qingru has a lively and straightforward personality, and is very likable."
Ye Cangyan nodded with satisfaction, reluctantly looking back at the others: "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so stay a few more days."
Gu Changnian said: "Thank you for the Demon Lord's hospitality, but the Immortal Sect is in chaos now, we can't delay any longer, so we won't disturb you anymore. We will set off tomorrow." His voice was very low, and although his attitude was polite, he sounded listless.
Ye Cangyan was not surprised by what he said, and nodded, "In that case, I won't keep you here. But Qingru, I hope she can stay in Yushan for a while. Qingru's cultivation is not high, and she can't help much if she goes back. The situation outside is chaotic, and I don't want her to be in danger." Although his tone was very calm, it carried a tone that said there was no room for negotiation.
