Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 94

After a long silence, Qingyun sighed and said, "It seems there was more to the story than meets the eye that Elder Juechen was able to kill the Palace Master of Qin Palace so easily back then." She suddenly felt the lantern in her hand become unusually heavy. "Lige, didn't your master tell you about this?"

Li Ge shook her head. "Master has never told me about the Palace Master of Qin Palace. I only know that Master disappears for a month every year and always looks grief-stricken when he comes back."

"Did the Old Man Juechen leave nothing behind before he left?" She had seen a map of the Juechen Valley before, and she remembered that deep inside the pear blossom forest was a wooden house, the Old Man Juechen's forbidden area. "That wooden house..."

Li Ge shook his head. "Before Master left, he set fire to that wooden house and told me not to touch it. Many years have passed, and it is still a ruin."

"What a pity," Qingyun said with regret. "I thought I would learn about a poignant and passionate love story!" Suddenly, Qingyun sighed, "Indeed, life is unpredictable. It's hard to imagine that the Palace Mistress of Qin Palace would fall in love with Elder Juechen. But did Elder Juechen love Meijue? Alas, we have no way of knowing now. The Palace Mistress of Qin Palace is so pitiful!"

Suddenly, Qingyun's heart clenched, and boundless sadness welled up from the depths of her heart onto her face.

Li Ge patted her shoulder, "Woman, the Immortal Elder is still here! Given the relationship between Master and the Immortal Elder, I think the Immortal Elder should know more or less about it."

Qingyun's eyes lit up, shining brightly. She nodded repeatedly, "Then let's go to Immortal Valley to find the Immortal Elder tomorrow! We'll go to Qingyun Pavilion the day after tomorrow!" She took Lige's hand and blinked, "Okay?"

Li Ge sighed helplessly and could only reply, "Okay."

Qingyun smiled, looking at Lige with a beaming smile.

Li Ge smiled gently and looked tenderly at Qing Yun.

Pear blossoms gently drifted down around them, soft red light gently shone on them, and the silent night gently enveloped them.

Everything in the Valley of Absolute Dust seemed to be watching them, protecting their smiles.

The next morning, after breakfast, Li Ge took Qing Yun to the Immortal Valley.

Bottom of White Bone Cliff

Vast swaths of blood-red flowers bloomed alluringly, resembling crimson demons from hell, possessing a bewitching yet breathtaking beauty. That beauty was captivating.

Qingyun stared blankly at the bloodstains before her, stopped in her tracks, and squatted down to examine them closely. A vast expanse of alluring red was reflected in Qingyun's eyes.

Suddenly, she felt the blood in her body surge, and silver beads rapidly gathered in her eyes.

Her slender hand reached forward involuntarily, just as it was about to touch the vibrant, dewy petals, when Li Ge suddenly shouted, "Don't move!"

Qingyun snapped out of her daze, quickly withdrew her finger, and her eyes returned to their clear state.

Li Ge explained, "The petals of the Blood Flower are highly poisonous. Once touched, within two hours, you'll be reduced to a pile of bones. Look, there are piles of bones near the Blood Flower. Moreover, this flower can bewitch people."

Qingyun looked around and saw piles of white bones. She frowned, feeling an eeriness about the place. Remembering the strange feeling she had just had, she quickly urged Lige to leave.

Soon after, Li Ge and Qing Yun broke through the formations and mechanisms set up by the Immortal Elder and entered the Immortal Valley safely.

It was springtime, and the fairy valley was bursting with blooming flowers, butterflies dancing among them, a scene brimming with life.

"Old Immortal! Yun'er has come to see you!" Qingyun called out at the top of her lungs.

"Senior Immortal, I've arrived as well." Li Ge, influenced by Qing Yun's emotions, also called out.

The only answer they received was the echoing sound from the valley.

"Huh?! Is the old immortal not here?" Qingyun raised an eyebrow and pushed open the door to the room.

The teacup on the wooden table was still steaming, and the steamed bun was half-eaten, but there was no one in the room, as if they had vanished into thin air.

"Li Ge, Immortal Old Man..."

Li Ge frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Senior Immortal's martial arts are so high that no one should be able to hurt him. He must have gone somewhere else."

Qingyun nodded, agreeing with the statement, "That's right, the old immortal has a strange personality, so it's normal that we can't find him."

Looking around the room again, Qingyun said, "It's been so long since I've been here. I wonder what my room looks like now. Lige, let's go in and take a look!"

"good."

When Qingyun was injured and stayed in Immortal Valley, she exchanged telling stories to the Immortal Elder every day for the Elder to prepare a room for her. She still remembers how angry the Immortal Elder was, his beard standing on end, just because she had taken over his room.

Thinking of these things, Qingyun's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Those days were quite happy.

Volume Two: Fate Leads to a Destiny, But a Good Marriage is Born - Part 4

There was only one wooden house in the Immortal Valley. Upon entering, you would see a small hall with a door on each side. One door led to the Immortal Elder's room, while the other was used for storing miscellaneous items. The Immortal Elder had converted the storage area into Qingyun's room.

Qingyun smiled and pushed open the door where miscellaneous items were stored, and went inside with Lige.

The room was filled with many strange and oddly shaped things, arranged in a messy manner, making it somewhat difficult for people to walk around inside.

Qingyun sighed and shook her head, "Alas! As soon as I left, the old immortal immediately returned to normal. I don't know where he got so many strange things from."

Li Ge smiled and looked around the room, saying, "Elder Xian's things are no ordinary items. Woman, take a look at that small embroidery needle on your left."

Qingyun glanced at it. The embroidery needle was sharp, gleaming with a cold, chilling light. The next moment, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Heavens! It's the Seven Star Embroidery Needle of the long-lost Abbess Jingjue."

Li Ge nodded with a smile, picked up a yellowed book beside him, flipped through a few pages, and said, "This is the 'Longevity Manual' that caused a sensation in the martial arts world back then."

Qingyun took a look and also clicked her tongue in admiration.

"So the old immortal has so many treasures hidden here. I must ask him for a few when I see him later." Suddenly, Qingyun paused. She noticed a book in an inconspicuous corner of the room.

The book has a light blue cover with the words "On the Strengths and Weaknesses of Various Schools of Martial Arts" written in running script.
