After all, Elder Wang knew Hong Qiang's appearance and identity. Once he found out that there was something wrong with Hong Qiang, he would definitely speculate that she was the mastermind. At that time, he would be implicated. This was not the result that Lin Xiao wanted.
"I know."
Hong Qiang knew that Lin Xiao's warning was for her own good. She nodded gently.
"It's good that you know."
Lin Xiao nodded. He glanced at Hong Qiang and said, "In that case, let's part ways here!
I wish you a smooth life in the future. "
"Wait, wait a minute!"
At this moment, Hong Qiang suddenly stopped Lin Xiao. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up and said seriously, "I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao could not believe it. He looked at Hong Qiang and asked curiously, "Miss Hong Qiang, what did you say?
Are you sure you want to go with us? "
"You spent tens of billions of Upper Grade Spirit Stones for me. I can't let you suffer too much!"
Hong Qiang hesitated for a moment. She looked at Lin Xiao and continued, "Moreover, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to reach the peak of the Almighty Celestial Stage. I have to thank you for all of this. I want to stay by your side to repay you!"
Lin Xiao did not know what to say to Hong Qiang's reason.
He shrugged helplessly and said jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to a beauty like you if you follow me?"
"I believe in you."
Hong Qiang smiled.
After all these things, Hong Qiang still believed in Lin Xiao's credibility. Although Lin Xiao's words were sometimes unreliable, he was very reliable when it came to doing things.
"You …"
Lin Xiao smiled helplessly and agreed to Hong Qiang's request.
…
At the same time, Elder Wang brought Yu Pingchang back to the Equipment Refining Sect as fast as he could. When the Sect Master of the Equipment Refining Sect saw his dead son, he was so angry that his whole body trembled.
He closed his eyes and brought Yu PingChang to a secret room. He did something to Yu PingChang, and the supposedly 'dead' Yu PingChang slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing that Yu Pingchang had woken up, the Sect Master of the Equipment Refining Sect flew into a rage. He said unwillingly, "Do you know how much effort I've put in to get your real body to come here all these years?
But now, it's all in vain. Even the energy stored in your body has disappeared!
How infuriating! "
"I didn't expect this either … It's my fault this time!"
Yu Pingchang's eyes flashed with a hint of anger as he spoke.
"I told you a long time ago, don't be infatuated with women. Sooner or later, something bad will happen. But you didn't listen. Now, you've wasted so much effort!"
The Equipment Refining Sect Master said angrily, "If I didn't need your cooperation to leave the Firmament World, do you think I would save you?"
"Don't worry, we have a backup plan!"
Yu Pingchang glanced at the Sect Leader of the Equipment Refining Sect and said.
…
Lin Xiao did not know about the internal dialogue of the Equipment Refining Sect. After dealing with the aftermath, he left Azure Dragon City. As for Hong Qiang, she also followed Lin Xiao.
In order not to expose her identity, Hong Qiang disguised herself and changed her name to her real name, Ye Han.
As Ye Han and Lin Xiao gradually became familiar with each other, Lin Xiao also learned about her experience.
She was born in a prefecture city near Azure Dragon City and was the daughter of the Sect Master of a small sect.
It was originally a carefree life, but unfortunately, in the struggle for power, Ye Han's father chose the wrong side and suffered a calamity of extermination. At that time, Ye Han was only 8 years old and didn't know anything. She hid among the corpses and escaped the calamity, but because she was wandering the streets, she was picked up by her 'mother' on the brothel boat.
So, she became Hong Qiang.
However, these things were in the past. Lin Xiao comforted her and did not mention it again. The group set foot on the road back to Qingzhou.
After helping the Formation King complete his task, Lin Xiao could rest assured for the time being. At this time, he naturally had to return to Qingzhou to take a look.
When he came to Azure Dragon City, Xu Qingruo went back to Qingzhou alone to see Xu Tianchong. Of course, Lin Xiao also had to see Xu Tianchong.
After all, although Xu Tianchong disbanded the Azure Sect and chose to live in seclusion, at this juncture, Xu Tianchong would not really ignore the general trend of the world.
With Longfei's rapid advancement, Lin Xiao and the group finally returned to Qingzhou.
Although Longfei's speed was much slower than the ancient Buddha Dipankara, it was much more comfortable. Therefore, Lin Xiao did not want to trouble the ancient Buddha Dipankara.
Lin Xiao entered Qingzhou City with Ye Han.
To be honest, Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed to bring such a beautiful woman back. After all, he was not only going to see Xu Tianchong, but also Xu Qingruo.
However, Ye Han had set her sights on Lin Xiao. No matter what Lin Xiao said, she refused to leave. In addition, with her special physique and strength, Lin Xiao did not want to force her to leave.
Anyway, he had a clear conscience, so he did not care.
When they returned to Qingzhou City, it was still a mess.
The destruction that the Formation King caused to Qingzhou City could be said to be devastating. Under such circumstances, even if Lin Xiao sent many troops from Youzhou and Bing Province to help rebuild Qingzhou City, it would take a long time for Qingzhou City to return to its former glory.
Looking at the broken Qingzhou City, Lin Xiao sighed and swore in his heart that when the time was right, he would definitely seek revenge from the Formation King!
After retracting his gaze, Lin Xiao did not enter Qingzhou City. Instead, he went to Mount Meng in Qingzhou.
Qingzhou Sect was' disbanded '. As the daughter of the Sect Master and Sect Master of Qingzhou Sect, it was not suitable for Xu Tianchong and Xu Qingruo to stay in Qingzhou City. Therefore, they came to Mount Meng.
"Lin Xiao!"
Seeing Lin Xiao, Xu Qingruo immediately greeted him with a smile. However, when she saw Ye Han beside Lin Xiao, the smile on her lips froze.
Why was there such a beautiful woman by Lin Xiao's side?
Seeing Xu Qingruo's frozen smile, Lin Xiao quickly explained, "Qingruo, I met Ye Han when I was completing a mission. There's nothing between us!
I'll explain the details to you slowly! "
"You don't have to explain it to me …"
Xu Qingruo quickly recovered her smile and said, "Although I'm a little jealous, I know that you're the king of a dynasty. I can't be your only woman. Therefore, you can deal with these matters yourself."
"This …"
Xu Qingruo's generosity made Lin Xiao feel a little embarrassed.
Smiling gently, Xu Qingruo continued, "I like you as a person. As long as you have me in your heart, I'm satisfied. Therefore, you really don't have to care about me."
