It had been raining for ten days, making the whole Kunlun Mountain seem to be covered with a thick layer of moisture. The mountain was foggy, and it was raining continuously at the foot of the mountain. The sky was also gray, making people feel a sense of suffocation.
Until this morning, the rain gradually stopped, and then the gathering dark clouds suddenly dispersed, revealing a bit of blue sky, letting the warm sunlight sprinkle down from between the clouds. Rays of golden light illuminated the world, and from a distance, it was as if the sky was smiling.
Kunwu City was originally very lively, but because of the recent continuous rainy days, it became a bit deserted. However, pedestrians could still be seen walking on the street, especially on this new day when the clouds had dispersed. Many people living in the city ran to the street, stretched, and moved their bodies with smiles on their faces.
Su Qingjun leaned on the railing of her small building, looking calmly into the distance. She looked at the city, and occasionally looked at the picturesque scene of the sun and dark clouds in the distant sky. She didn't move for a long time, as if she was lost in thought. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
After returning from the Immortal City, the things Lu Chen told her were not very difficult, but very troublesome, so she needed to be patient and do them slowly. Although the Devil Cult was declining, it was, after all, a big evil sect that dominated for a time and had tentacles all over the world. For so many years, it was unknown how many spies it had set up in the open and in the dark. It wasn't that there weren't such remnants of the Devil Cult with powerful combat strength and profound cultivation, but there were definitely not many of them. It could only be said to be rare, and those who could pose a threat to Su Qingjun were even rarer. Therefore, after she returned to the Kunlun Party, she had been pushing for these remnants of the Devil Cult to be tracked down, but the progress had been slow.
In different places in the world, sometimes it really made people feel that the speed of the passage of time was different. Su Qingjun felt that when she was in the Immortal City, every day seemed to be very tense, like being strung on a string. But after returning to the Kunlun Party, everything suddenly became slow. Everyone was living a quiet and ordinary life. Staying in Kunwu City and the Kunlun Party, she would have a kind of illusion that she had become numb, perhaps she would unknowingly become old like this.
Was this kind of life good?
Su Qingjun couldn't understand it in her heart. It was just that she had been back for so long, and she herself was an exceptionally intelligent woman. Although no one said anything to her, Su Qingjun still vaguely guessed some things in her heart.
Tracking down the remnants of the Devil Cult was of course very important. At least on the surface, it was an important matter that everyone in the world recognized. After all, the good and the evil could not coexist. But to put it bluntly, of course, this matter was just a matter of face. It was naturally very important for the common people to see. of the people of the Devil Devil Sect to see.
The Evil Cult had completely collapsed and could no longer make a comeback. Everyone in the Righteous Faction knew this in their hearts. However, in order to scare those ignorant mortals, the Evil Cult could still be used a few more times.
But if that was the case, why did Lu Chen ask him to come back? Yes, it was Perfected Lord Tianlan's order. However, Su Qingjun felt that if Lu Chen hadn't spoken, the high and mighty Ancestor probably wouldn't have cared about a woman like her.
Was it … because he was worried about danger?
He felt that there was some kind of danger in the Immortal City, so he was thinking of ways to get her to leave and return to Kunlun Mountain.
…
A cool breeze blew from afar, bringing with it a slight chill. There was also a slight fragrance of moist vegetation, as if it was blowing from the hazy Kunlun Mountain.
Su Qingjun gently tugged at her clothes, as if she felt a little cold. However, her eyes were still looking up in a certain direction. From there, past the city wall, past the even more distant mountains, past the dark clouds and heaven and earth behind the mountains, past a journey of thousands of miles, she would probably arrive at that great immortal city.
How was he now?
Was there really any great danger in that city? If not, why would he suddenly make up his mind to send me back regardless of everything?
Su Qingjun stared blankly at the direction of the Immortal City. In her heart floated that day in a secluded corner of the Immortal City, the man's slightly bitter and helpless confession.
He liked her. Su Qingjun knew this, but she still remembered that the man killed her own brother.
Corpses turned cold easily, but hatred was hard to erase.
"Deng deng deng …" A burst of footsteps suddenly came from behind her. It was the familiar pace of Su Qingjun. She sighed softly, took one last look at the distant horizon, and then turned around.
When she turned around, there was already an additional smile on her beautiful face. She quickly walked to the top of the stairs, and sure enough, she saw her mother, Madame Bai, walking up with the help of two maidservants.
After the accident on the night of the full moon, because of the heartache of her beloved son, Sumo's death, Madame Bai suffered a great blow. Her spirit almost collapsed, and she was bedridden for a long time. If it wasn't for Su Qingjun asking for elixirs and taking good care of her, Madame Bai would very likely have also died.
It was only in recent days that Madame Bai's condition improved, especially after she took an extremely precious elixir that Su Qingjun went to her benefactor, Masato Kihara, to ask for. She was almost completely healed, and could barely walk.
Su Qingjun took two steps forward and took her mother from the hands of the maidservants. Then she smiled and nodded to the two maidservants, indicating for them to wait and rest at the side. Then she supported Madame Bai to the small building, and sat down at the side table.
"Mother, you just recovered not too long ago. You don't dare to tire yourself too much." Su Qingjun smiled as she poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Madame Bai. She said softly, "If there's anything you need, just call someone over and tell me. I will naturally rush over."
Madame Bai's complexion looked good. Her face was rosy, and she seemed to be a little younger than before. However, there was still a lot of white in her hair. Presumably, the pain of that year was still deeply engraved in her bones. She waved her hand at Su Qingjun, and said with a gentle expression, "It's nothing. I just came out to take a walk. It's not a big deal."
Su Qingjun smiled and sat down next to her mother. She said, "Today you specially came over to my place. Mother, is there something you need?"
Madame Bai nodded, but did not speak immediately. There was a trace of unhappiness that flashed across her face. Su Qingjun saw this and pondered for a moment. Then she turned her head and waved her hand at the two maidservants, ordering them to leave. When there were only the two of them left in the small building, she said in a low voice, "Mother, why are you unhappy? Could it be … "She paused, as if it was difficult for her to say it. In the end, she sighed in her heart and said," Could it be because of Father? "
Madame Bai snorted coldly and said, "Of course it's because of that dead man. You still don't know, but that old man of yours has already made up his mind to marry that slut outside as a concubine. "
Su Qingjun was silent for a moment. Then she said, "She gave birth to a son after all. Father will not let that child wander outside no matter what."
"Bah!" Madame Bai was obviously very angry about this, but she also felt a little helpless. She cursed a few times and then grabbed Su Qingjun's hand. She said, "Jun 'er, you are a person with cultivation. Help me. Tonight, sneak over and strangle that slut to death!"
Su Qingjun's body shook. She raised her head in shock and looked at her mother in front of her. It was as if she had just met this person for the first time. She revealed a somewhat incredulous expression.
