But seeing that Liu Qing was shaking with fear, Li Mingxuan could only comfort her softly, saying, "Qingqing, let's go back first."

It's not safe here. Zhao Mu died silently in the palace. Who knows, it might be their turn someday. Liu Qing hesitated. She was also afraid, but she quickly shook her head: "No."

She had to see Shen Liuyi get into trouble, and this time they were caught off guard. She didn't believe that Shen Liuyi would be so bold as to come a second time. "Brother, let's report to the sect and ask the headmaster to seek justice for Brother Zhao!"

Li Mingxuan sighed: "Then what should we say?"

Liu Qing: "This..."

Yes, they have no evidence, and they dare not let anyone investigate the purpose of their coming here. Wouldn’t it be asking for trouble if they were investigated?

So we have to just accept this loss?

Liu Qing's eyes turned red with frustration. Why was she like this the moment she met Shen Liuyi? She was either shooting herself in the foot or she was just assuming that she had bad luck. Especially since she really didn't dare to complain about this matter. When it was very likely that Shen Liuyi knew about their plan, who knew if she had any evidence?

So not only could they not hold Shen Liuyi accountable, they also had to think about how to explain the cause of Zhao Mu's death to Yu Xiao. The death of a direct disciple was a big deal.

Liu Qing felt extremely headache. He should have brought Yun Huan with him earlier. At least Yun Huan was only an outer disciple.

Liu Qing realized belatedly that she was frightened. Although Yu Xiao hated the murderer, he would definitely blame her as well.

However, Li Mingxuan said that he had a way to solve the problem and asked Liu Qing not to worry about it. Liu Qing handed it over to him with peace of mind. After Li Mingxuan finished talking to Yu Xiao, his eyes were a little red. Yu Xiao always loved this disciple, and this time he obviously scolded him harshly. Li Mingxuan was almost scolded to tears.

Liu Qing felt his breathing stagnate: "Brother, are you okay?"

It's over. Even if Li Mingxuan stepped in, it would be useless. Liu Qing didn't dare to think about how she would explain this matter. Yu Xiao hated her to the core now and would definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Fortunately, Li Mingxuan was not as useless as Zhao Mu. Li Mingxuan sniffed, but still forced himself to suppress his tears, but his voice was a little low: "It's okay, I have already taken care of the master's side, don't worry."

Liu Qing let out a long sigh, and then asked with concern: "So, Senior Brother, are you okay? Did the Sect Master give you any trouble?"

Li Mingxuan shook his head: "No, it's just that Master has never said such words to me before, and I can't accept it for the time being. This time it was my fault that I didn't protect Junior Brother Zhao well, so it's only right that Master blames me."

Liu Qing completely forgot how much she had cried just now: "Don't blame you, I said that Senior Brother Zhao shouldn't drink. If he had listened to my advice, maybe he wouldn't be like this."

Everyone was praising Li Mingxuan that day, and Liu Qing also gave Li Mingxuan a bright smile. Zhao Mu became jealous on the spot and insisted on drinking with Li Mingxuan.

After being scolded by Li Mingxuan, he didn't dare to do anything stupid anymore. He drank a few bottles of wine alone. Others saw that he was unhappy and didn't want to bring bad luck to him, so no one went to look for him.

So Zhao Mu drank while looking at the two people who were surrounded and complimented by everyone. Someone said that the talented man and beautiful woman were a match made in heaven, and many people followed suit. Zhao Mu, who felt ignored, found this scene more and more irritating, so he walked out drunk.

But in fact, both Li Mingxuan and Liu Qing knew that if Shen Liuyi wanted to kill Zhao Mu, it would not matter whether he was drunk or not.

And today, Shen Liuyi came. She appeared in the largest restaurant in the imperial city, sat at a table by the window, quietly drinking tea, and revealing her whereabouts brazenly.

I heard that as soon as she arrived, she was targeted by a playboy, who put a lot of effort into pursuing her, booking restaurants and throwing flowers all over the city, making the whole city know about it. Then when he found out that Shen Liuyi was at the Spirit King level, he was instantly petrified and broke apart on the spot.

Then, he was dragged away by his father by his ears without realizing it.

There were many people present at the time, and they thought they could see a romantic scene, but it turned out to be a disaster, which made many people laugh, because in the eyes of others, no matter how young a Spirit King realm expert looked, he must be at least 700 years old, which means he is old enough to be the grandmother of that dandy boy.

No wonder that guy was petrified on the spot after he knew that the person in front of him was the Spirit King.

But those who heard it didn't find it so funny. Liu Qing didn't understand why Chu Qing didn't take action yet. Even if Chu Qing had a bad relationship with her, it didn't affect the fact that they had a common enemy.

Liu Qing went to the princess's mansion to find her, but was told that Chu Qing had entered the palace. This would have been a nothing, Liu Qing could have just waited. However, the guards at the princess's mansion acted as if they hadn't seen her. With so many people coming and going, they were all busy with their own work, and no one invited her in. Liu Qing waited from noon until sunset before Chu Qing came back.

Chu Qing said with obvious anger: "Liu Qing, Zhao Mu's death was his own fault, what do you mean by our responsibility?"

Liu Qing's question got stuck in his throat, and after a long while he finally said, "What are you talking about?"

"You're still pretending!"

Chu Qing glared at her: "You are not trying to tell me that you don't know that Qingzhao Ancient Sect came to put pressure on my father. You didn't want guards, and you didn't allow anyone to arrange secret protection. You said you didn't like being watched. We arranged a safe place for you to live and be protected, but you insisted on running to the cold palace, and blamed us for anything that happened!"

Chu Qing used to like to shake off the people who protected her. Now, seeing Zhao Mu, who was seeking death without dying, it was like seeing her past self. She wanted to slap him twice.

Liu Qing was stunned. The reason they didn't let anyone follow them was that they hoped that as few people as possible would know about their plan. Moreover, she had a falling out with Chu Qing as soon as she arrived. Who knew if this vicious princess would want to harm them?

How dare they use the people she arranged?

But Chu Qing didn't care. She was not a reasonable person. When she heard Yu Xiao scolding her father behind the screen and demanding an explanation from them, Chu Qing couldn't help but ran out.

She said: "You Qingzhao Ancient Sect are so poor that you are rushing to make trouble. I didn't invite Zhao Mu, I arranged people to protect him but he refused. He died and now you blame us. You are too unreasonable!"

When Li Mingxuan spoke, he pushed the responsibility onto himself and the royal family in order to clear Liu Qing. No matter how angry Yu Xiao was, he could not blame Li Mingxuan. The most he could do was to scold him.

The real responsibility lies with the royal family. Now that a little girl pointed at his nose and scolded him, Yu Xiao said coldly: "Your Majesty, your royal family is really ill-educated."

These words were simply a slap in their faces. Chu Qing felt that Yu Xiao looked down on people. At the beginning, he was treated like a grandson by Shen Liuyi and did not say a word back. But now he was so arrogant in front of her, the legitimate princess. She was so angry that she was shaking.

But her father told her to shut up, and then respectfully told Yu Xiao that he would give Yu Xiao an explanation.

After hanging up the communication stone, not only Chu Qing was about to explode with anger, but the emperor was also cold as ice. He said hatefully: "When the royal family was glorious, there was no place for these spiritual masters. They are not even worthy of carrying shoes!"

Chu Qing said: "Don't worry, father, I will definitely take care of it."

Then she hurried back. The reason why Liu Qing was treated coldly in the princess's mansion was also something she had specifically explained.

Chu Qing reached out and poked Liu Qing's shoulder heavily: "Remember this, don't put the blame on us. If you really make me angry, I will let the world hear how you harmed Shen Liuyi."

Liu Qing couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy?"

Chu Qing said, "I don't care. My reputation is just like that. But you are different. Do you think if Zixi Sect knew about this, would they let it go? Do you think Qingzhao Ancient Sect would risk the world's disgrace to protect you once more?"

Liu Qing's face was pale and she couldn't speak.
