The lucky man is the one who has no offspring, and the pregnant waist is spoiled like crazy

Gu Qinglan lowered his eyelids, glanced at Wu Xiaoyao who lowered his head, and said: "Since you refuse to admit your mistakes, then kneel outside until you are willing to admit your mistakes! The rest of you should do what you should do!"

"Yes!"

The disciples took orders and left, and Wu Xiaoyao was also taken away by the eldest disciple.

Looking down from the second floor, I could just see Wu Xiaoyao kneeling there in a daze.

Jiang Zheng was enjoying Wu Xiaoyao's frustrated expression when she suddenly heard Gu Qinglan's slightly annoyed voice.

"It was my negligence that caused you to suffer so much!"

Jiang Zheng suddenly turned around, and when their eyes met, she saw a trace of sadness in Gu Qinglan's eyes. Thinking about the situation just now, she understood everything in her heart. She squeezed Gu Qinglan's hand and said softly, "Aren't you avenging me? What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

As long as Gu Qinglan is on her side, Jiang Zheng is sure that she will get rid of this scourge, Wu Xiaoyao, sooner or later!

Unexpectedly, Gu Qinglan shook her head, "Not enough! Far from enough! Ah Zheng, during the hundred years I was away from you, listening to all these rumors and slanders, how sad must you be? I... owe you a lot."

Jiang Zheng fell silent for a rare time. She suddenly looked up at Gu Qinglan. When she saw the undisguised grief in the other's eyes, a heavy stone in her heart suddenly fell off. She felt a sense of relief from the inside out, as if something that had been bothering her for many years was finally solved in one go, but there was also a hint of helplessness.

"You said... if the original body heard these words, how good would it be?"

Because of Wu Xiaoyao's interference, the two people were separated for nearly a hundred years. Although Jiang Zheng made the truth clear, the person who should have heard it the most was no longer there.

After Jiang Zheng finished speaking, there was no response from the system in her mind for a long time. If it were in the past, she would be able to hear the system's voice after a few breaths at most.

Just when Jiang Zheng thought the system had malfunctioned, that familiar voice finally came into her mind.

[It doesn’t matter.]

For some reason, the system was a little hesitant the first time it spoke.

[You heard it, it's the same! ]

Jiang Zheng sensed something strange in the system's words, but she didn't have time to think about it because Gu Qinglan's burning eyes were staring at her, leaving her no time to think about anything else.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Qinglan asked.

Jiang Zheng smiled and shook her head. "I've heard the phrase 'you owe me' many times recently."

"Feeling annoyed?" Gu Qinglan pulled Jiang Zheng over and let her lean on him. "But I feel... no matter how many times I say it, it's not enough to make up for it."

Jiang Zheng didn't act pretentiously and just lay down on him. "Don't say such things in the future. If you really feel that you owe me something, then... make it up to me. For example, today I want to eat the most famous lotus pancake in Yunzhong City. Will you buy it for me?"

Gu Qinglan tapped Jiang Zheng's nose and said jokingly, "Buy! Whatever you want... I'll give it to you!"

Gu Qinglan kept his word and went to the east of the city that afternoon to buy the lotus pancakes that Jiang Zheng wanted to eat.

……

The next day, at daybreak, Gu Qinglan suddenly woke up from his dream. He stood up abruptly and opened the window. Immediately, a gust of cold wind came in from the window, causing Jiang Zheng on the bed to shiver in his sleep. Gu Qinglan quickly closed the window a little to prevent the cold wind from freezing Jiang Zheng.

A streak of morning sun rose in the eastern horizon, dyeing half the sky red, but the other half of the sky was still dark.

Gu Qinglan was silent for two moments. When he was about to close the window, his eyes swept across a black hole opposite. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that place seemed to be darker.

He cast a spell at the tiles on the roof opposite, and suddenly a black shadow appeared and ran towards the west before Gu Qinglan could make another move.

Gu Qinglan narrowed her eyes and was about to chase after him when she suddenly heard Jiang Zheng's whispers from behind.

It turned out that Jiang Zheng was woken up by the noise just now.

Gu Qinglan glanced at the dark figure going away, closed the window, sat down on the bed, helped Jiang Zheng up and leaned her against the soft pillow behind her, "Did I wake you up?"

Jiang Zheng was half asleep and half awake. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head. "No, I felt something was wrong. It seemed to be around us, but now I don't know where it went."

Gu Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Jiang Zheng had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. It seemed that she had also sensed it. "There is a strange aura, in the house opposite, and it just ran to the west."

"Is it a demon?" Jiang Zheng asked.

"Not sure. That aura is very strange, like a demon or a monster, but his cultivation is definitely not low." Gu Qinglan and Xuan Yang Zhenren both thought at first that this was just a simple chaos, but if such a half-demon and half-monster appeared, the turmoil in Yunzhong City might not be that simple. "You go to sleep first. I'll go to the west to check when it's daybreak."

"I'll go with you." Jiang Zheng suddenly grabbed Gu Qinglan's hand and said.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qinglan was unusually tough on this matter. "No! Although you have reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, your cultivation is unstable because you are too anxious. What if you get hurt? Ah Zheng, be obedient. You stay here and watch over these disciples. I will be back soon."

"You know all this?" Jiang Zheng looked silly, blinking her eyes in an adorable way.

Gu Qinglan couldn't help but pinch Jiang Zheng's earlobe, "I'm with you every day, is there anything I don't know?"

Ever since he knew that Jiang Zheng had reached the Nascent Soul stage, Gu Qinglan had been looking everywhere for precious herbs to help her stabilize her cultivation. If he could get the chance, it would be best if he could achieve divine enlightenment one day!

Jiang Zheng blushed at what Gu Qinglan said and burrowed into the quilt.

[Favorability +10, current favorability is 60, add 1000 points. ]

When Jiang Zheng woke up again, Gu Qinglan had already left and the room was empty. As soon as she stood up, she heard the anxious voice of the eldest disciple outside.

"Zhaohua Immortal Venerable, I'm sorry to offend you. I have something urgent to discuss with you!"

Jiang Zheng quickly opened the door and let the eldest disciple in. "What's wrong?"

"Reporting to the Immortal Lord! Something happened!" The eldest disciple's head was covered in cold sweat. "Everything was fine before I went to sleep yesterday, but when I woke up today, I found that except for the disciples of Changming Sect, everyone else was gone!"

Jiang Zheng's eyes narrowed. "Gone? Where did he go?"

She remembered that although the streets seemed a little deserted when she entered the city, there were lights on in every household, and the inn where they stayed was also crowded. How could everyone disappear overnight?

The eldest disciple shook his head, his face grim. "I don't know, but except for ours, all other rooms in the inn are empty. No one is there. I went to the street to check, and found that there was no one on the street. I knocked on a few doors, but no one responded. So I came to ask the Immortal Venerable to make a decision!"

All of them disappeared overnight?

Jiang Zheng was about to say "impossible" when she heard a shrill scream suddenly coming from outside, resounding through the sky.

"Ah—ghost!"
