The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

There is.

Wanqing calculated the time and estimated that Luo Qingcheng should have already taken the medicine she gave him. Thinking of her reaction, she couldn't help but squint her eyes and reveal a gentle smile.

The crow-man trembled: "Fairy Wan, what are you laughing at?"

During the past few days traveling together, he deeply experienced the wicked nature of Wan Qingchu, the number one beauty in the cultivation world.

The gentler the smile, the more likely another unlucky person has fallen victim to it.

Wan looked back at the crow-man and said innocently, "I'm naturally cheerful."

The face of the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world is incredibly alluring. Even though the crow man knew Wan Qing was lying, he stammered and said nothing when faced with her innocent appearance.

Blushing, she looked away, scratched the back of her head, and changed the subject, saying, "I wonder how the former sect leader is doing."

When it came to serious matters, Wanqing's smile faded slightly.

When the Grandmaster suddenly disappeared, the Seeking Immortals Sect was leaderless. The Sect Master Uncle hurriedly took over and it took a long time to stabilize the chaotic situation with the help of the True Persons of the various peaks.

But afterwards, they were unable to find their master's whereabouts.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the Grandmaster's Soul Lamp.

If what the crow man said is true, could it be that—

"A fairy?" The crow-man's voice interrupted her guess.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, the crow-man cawed in confusion.

Wanqing smiled and said, "If it really is the previous sect leader of our sect, then there should be no major problems."

All the previous sect leaders of the Seeking Immortals Sect were Nascent Soul Venerables. Unless those old monsters from a thousand years ago made a move, there were few things in the world that could threaten their lives.

As they spoke, they arrived at the place where the crow man had previously encountered Luo Qingcheng.

The two of them flew down from the sky.

The crow-man was the first to shout loudly, "Sect Master, this junior has brought Fairy Wan here as you instructed—"

Wanqing stood gracefully to one side.

The vast, icy plain was utterly silent.

Wan clearly looked at the crow-man with suspicion.

In his anxiety, he wished he could swear to the heavens that not a single word he had said was false.

Seeing that the man with the crow's expression seemed genuinely anxious, Wan clearly guessed that he was probably not lying to her.

Moreover, the internal turmoil caused by the change of leadership back then was only known to the higher-ups of the Seeking Immortals Sect, who had issued a gag order. She only knew about these things because she was her master's true disciple; the other subordinate disciples knew nothing about them.

Thinking of this, Wan Qingchu bowed and said loudly, "Grandmaster, I am Wan Qingchu, the chief disciple under the Taiyang Zhenren of Changdan Peak in the Xunxian Sect. If you are truly trapped here, I am willing to do everything in my power to help you escape!"

……

Nothing happened.

Wanqing lowered her hand and turned her head to look at the crow man.

He knelt dejectedly on the snow, hands on the ground, head bowed low, his body covered in dark lines, and muttered gloomily, "I've been tricked, tricked, tricked..."

Infinite loop.

The toothless crow stood to the side, tilting its head and cawing twice.

It makes the scene even more tragic.

Wan clearly didn't know why the crow man was going to such lengths, but judging from the current situation, he was probably being deceived, and she didn't intend to blame anyone.

However, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Just as she was about to leave, a voice transmission suddenly sounded in her mind.

"I understand, you've grown up—"

Wanqing paused.

This voice——

It's my grandmaster!

……

Luo Qingcheng was unaware that he had inadvertently done a good deed, and was currently sleeping soundly in bed.

With a bitter expression, Hongdou asked again, "Young Master Li, Miss has been asleep for three days. Is she really alright?"

Li Zhiming answered for what felt like the umpteenth time, "It's nothing."

He could have explained it clearly: Luo Qingcheng had been sleeping for so long because the pill Wan Qingzhi had given her was repairing the damage in her body and she needed a long period of sleep for it to be effective.

But in order to talk to Hongdou a little more, he patiently repeated "It's okay" over and over again, and he enjoyed it.

Gray Seal entered the secret realm to collect more high-level materials to sell for money, so he didn't stay with them. They agreed to meet again after the secret realm closed, and he left alone.

Rounding up, isn't this just the two of us?

Li Zhiming was secretly pleased.

He handed Hongdou a magical fruit.

"Red Bean Girl, this is the Flower Core Fruit. It has a delicate floral fragrance and can also beautify the skin. It is very popular among female cultivators. Would you like to try it?"

"Oh, thank you, Young Master Li." Hongdou took it, took a bite, and sure enough, it was juicy and fragrant with flowers.

After taking a bite, and confirming that Luo Qingcheng showed no signs of waking up, she found a corner near him and went to cultivate with her eyes closed.

Seeing that Hongdou had no intention of talking to him any longer, and unable to learn the methods of pursuing girls that his other brothers had taught him, Li Zhiming could only helplessly say, "Then I will protect Miss Hongdou."

Hongdou didn't quite understand what "protector" meant, but from the meaning of the sentence she roughly understood that it was probably for her own good. She nodded blankly and said "thank you".

Before immersing herself in cultivation, Hongdou was still thinking, "Young Master Li is truly a good person."

*Beep*, good guy card.

The secret realm began to tremble.

Li Zhiming looked up and realized that the exit of the secret realm was about to open.

He glanced around and saw that one was sleeping, the other was cultivating, and he was the only one left.

A reliable adult male!

He immediately activated his spiritual power and sent the magical artifact toward the exit of the secret realm.

When Luo Qingcheng opened his eyes, they had already arrived outside the secret realm.

She slept for three days, and when she opened her eyes, she was somewhat disoriented, unsure of what day it was.

Li Zhiming walked over carrying a bowl of dark, murky Chinese medicine.

He smiled and said, "Judging from Miss Luo's breathing, I estimate she's about to wake up, so I've warmed up a bowl of medicine for you to drink."

Luo Qingcheng regained some strength, sat up, took the bowl, and asked, "Where are the red beans?"

"Red Bean Girl is preparing food for Miss Luo."

Luo Qingcheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

He then took a deep breath, frowned, and drank the medicine in his hand in one gulp.

Hongdou rushed over and exclaimed excitedly, "Miss, you're finally awake!"

She ran over and said, "I've prepared some candied fruit for you, eat it quickly."

Before Luo Qingcheng could speak, someone stuffed a piece into his mouth.

Luo Qingcheng expressionlessly pushed the candied fruit to one side with his tongue, his cheeks puffing out.

He mumbled to Li Zhiming, "I want to talk to Hongdou about something, what do you think..."

Li Zhiming immediately understood. "I still need to refine the pills to be handed over to the sect, so I'll be leaving now. If you feel unwell, please feel free to call me."

Seeing that the two nodded to indicate that they understood, Li Zhiming left with peace of mind.

Watching Li Zhiming's figure disappear from their sight, Hongdou looked at Luo Qingcheng with a puzzled expression, wondering what she wanted to say to her.

Luo Qingcheng chewed and swallowed the candied fruit, stared into Hongdou's eyes, and slowly said, "Hongdou, why did you lie to me?"

She only gave Hongdou this one chance.

Hongdou was taken aback.

For a moment, he couldn't recall what he had lied to Luo Qingcheng about.

Then something suddenly came to mind.

His face turned pale.
