Chapter 20 Indifference
"All the civilians who were recruited are recorded in my Pure Land Jade Book. Please wait a moment and you will find them soon." The old man held the jade book with a respectful smile.
"Excuse me, Director Bai..." Yi Qingfeng nodded. Hongque and others stood behind him. Runyu looked indifferent, obviously resentful about this trip.
Yun Ruo beside Hongque kept chattering and asking questions, but Hongque just smiled and said nothing.
"It's just a small matter..." Manager Bai shook his head and said hesitantly: "My name is Li Hao...right?"
After getting the definite answer, Manager Bai added a few symbols and poured them into the jade book.
Soon, the jade book bloomed with brilliance, and the runes were like a sea, reflecting several lines of text.
"found it…"
Supervisor Bai glanced over, and his face suddenly became a little stiff——
"Conscripting civilian husbands - Lijiacun - Li Hao -
April 13: Hidden dragon blood and soil was imprisoned in the underworld prison
April 15th: Commander Yin was taken away on the order of Director Bai.
…”
Has this person been imprisoned by Liuli Pure Land?
He secretly thought that it was not good. Since Linglong Pavilion came here specifically for this person, seeing this kind of experience now, I am afraid there would be more trouble.
As expected, the next moment I heard an exclamation: "Senior Sister Hongque, this Li Hao has been locked up for a long time..."
Hongque frowned and stepped forward quickly. When he saw Li Hao being released, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to be released."
But Manager Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to the other party's tone, it was revealed that this Li Hao was not an important person.
"There should be no consequences for being imprisoned, but I actually let this person out..." He thought secretly, and then remembered something that happened not long ago.
"Hey, this person has now been accepted as a servant by the outer disciples. It's interesting..." Yi Qingfeng saw the end--
"April 26: I was valued by the outer disciple Yuan Feng and was accepted as a follower."
"It seems that he still has some ability..." Yun Ruo muttered again.
"Servant..." Runyu shook his head.
Hong Que seemed to have not heard anything and just wanted to see Li Hao as soon as possible.
"Come with me, I know where the outer disciples live." Yi Qingfeng led a few people away from here and headed for a certain mountain peak.
The courtyards here are scattered, mostly covered by formations and blurred.
This place is the temporary residence of the outer disciples in the burial ground. Some figures jumping around can be seen among the clouds and mist.
After Yi Qingfeng asked several outer disciples, he got the exact address of Yuan Feng.
"This is it..."
Yi Qingfeng pointed out, and several people came to a small courtyard.
"Senior Sister Hongque, what's wrong with you?" The girl looked at Hongque strangely. Her breathing was a little erratic and she looked a little nervous.
"A little worried..." Hongque said calmly, even a little panicked in his tone: "I wonder if Brother Hao will blame me for not going back to see him for a long time."
The two of them had not seen each other for more than a year, and now they felt a little bit homesick.
"Junior Sister Hongque, why are you so hopeless?" Runyu finally couldn't bear it any longer and scolded her, somewhat resenting the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
"Senior Sister Runyu, you don't understand..." Hongque shook his head and sighed softly. The look in his eyes that said "you don't understand" made Runyu feel even more aggrieved and a bit sullen.
"Runyu!" Yuanhe suddenly spoke and said softly: "Hongque, you haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a good talk this time. We are waiting for you here."
"be safe."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan." Hongque nodded. He didn't understand what "paying attention to safety" meant, but he still walked towards the door.
"Linglong Pavilion Hongque, can you please meet me, Taoist brother?"
There was a soft voice outside the door, and Li Hao opened his eyes in an instant, frowning, and a lot of memories came to his mind.
"Linglong Pavilion? Looking for you?" Yuan Feng noticed something strange about Li Hao and said unexpectedly.
"No." Li Hao shook his head and said decisively.
"You can't just disappear this time if you don't want to see me. If you don't see me, it will be very troublesome." Yuan Feng sighed, and as he touched his palm, a touch of spiritual realm reflected the outside world——
"That is inner disciple Yi Qingfeng, and the others should be from Linglong Pavilion."
"I don't dare pretend that I'm not here."
Yuan Feng can deceive his friends who are also outer disciples, but he dare not deceive the inner disciples.
Li Hao looked at him and uttered two words: "Trash."
Yuan Feng: "..."
He landed and was about to open the door. Since he couldn't hide, he had to deal with it head-on.
The door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him. For a moment, Hongque was a little distracted and looked at Li Hao blankly.
Li Hao also looked at Hongque. Her eyes were trembling slightly, with admiration and joy, but also a bit of anxiety.
Beside him, Yuan Feng bowed respectfully to Yi Qingfeng, while Yi Qingfeng nodded in response.
"Is something wrong?" Li Hao suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and looked at Hongque. The indifference and alienation in his tone were extremely clear.
Hongque was stunned for a moment, as if he had been hit hard, as if it was difficult to accept such cold words coming from Li Hao's mouth.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "Brother Hao, it's me..."
"I know, so I'm asking you, are you okay?" Li Hao nodded and repeated it again.
"I..." Hongque's eyebrows were lowered and his voice trembled slightly:
"I am in retreat in Linglong Pavilion during this period. I must practice the Linglong Sky-Mending Technique to the beginning before I can leave. It's not that I don't want to go back..."
She thought Li Hao blamed her for not going back after leaving, so she explained.
"Yeah." Li Hao nodded, still showing no emotion.
"Master Yuan is practicing in seclusion. It's better not to disturb him."
Without waiting for Hongque's response, he closed the door.
Hongque was stunned. The wooden door was like an iron chisel, hitting her heart hard.
Yuan Feng's eyelids twitched, and he felt like a black pot had been thrown at him.
"This person is not as handsome as Senior Brother Yuan..." Yun Ruo said in a low voice.
Yuanhe raised his eyebrows.
"How can just one person overshadow Senior Brother Yuan's charm?" Runyu was a little dissatisfied.
Yuanhe frowned.
"Hey, he closed the door, why did Senior Sister Hongque lose her mind?" Yun Ruo asked again in confusion.
Runyu looked over after hearing this, and as expected, Hongque looked as if he was dead, and his face was a little pale.
"What did he say to Hongque?" Runyu's face turned solemn and he couldn't help but move forward.
"His choice was unexpected..." Yuan He said hesitantly, retracting his gaze, as if he had been paying attention: "I thought he would accept Hongque without hesitation."
"It's a pity that I can't see my little nephew anymore."
Runyu's head is full of black lines. Didn't you say you would make sure Hongque didn't get pregnant?
Why do I hear that you look forward to it?
"Senior brother, do you know what that guy said?" Runyu asked.
Yuanhe had no intention of explaining: "It's not important. Just comfort Hongque. Maybe she will be sad for a few days."
"But this emotional separation is not her fault, and there should be no consequences..."
"It's a pity, it's a pity...it's such a pity..."
Runyu was not angry, but she didn't say anything else.
