Lu Lingqiu waved the jade token in his hand, and the formation soon opened an entrance on both sides.

"The Flower Palace is a place outside the sky, and it is also the last piece of pure land on the Tiancang Continent. In order to prevent even this last line of defense from being polluted one day, I will let the spirit envoys take turns to guard here and protect every plant and tree in Fenghua Mountain.

Jin Yu has been here for twenty years this time."

He walked into it and said leisurely.

"Wow... Then if Brother Lingqiu is not in the palace, won't they feel lonely?"

Mu Qing followed him and asked with some concern.

Hearing this, Lu Lingqiu paused.

He did not answer this question directly. He just felt that the girl's words seemed to remind him of something unintentionally.

really.

Although facing loneliness is also part of spiritual practice, in his eyes, they are still children.

Jin Yu has been guarding this place alone for twenty years and is almost going crazy. Apart from practicing, she can only drink to drown her sorrows every day and live in a daze without anyone to talk to.

As for Xiaoye, what she will face is a thousand-year "holiday". But this "holiday", to a certain extent, is more like torture. If Mu Qing hadn't asked this question, he would indeed be on this point.

Somewhat overlooked.

I still remember that when I came here to find Xiao Ye yesterday, the girl was so excited that she could hardly speak. And after telling her about Cang Lan and expressing her need for her help, she actually thought that she had heard wrongly, so she

Then he stood there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

"Master needs me, master needs me..."

Lu Lingqiu was filled with emotion when he saw her repeating these words and happily turning into a flamingo, dragging her long feathers and flying away with the mission scroll -

Rather than sit here, she is obviously more willing to do things that can prove her worth as she did before.

"Sigh. It's really hard for me to take everything into consideration."

After thinking deeply, he came back from his memories and sighed.

Finally, make a decision:

"If I can successfully break through and solve the problems of Tiandao Gate and Sky Crack, I will stay here to accompany you to practice until the contract is completed in a thousand years."

"Eh?!!"

"I will watch you grow up and become what you like, and finally send you back to your hometown personally to find your own place."

"Wait, wait a minute! Brother Lingqiu..."

"At that time, you who have become celestial demons or even demon gods will no longer have to fear any enemies when you walk in the world. No matter they are humans or your own kind, they will no longer be able to pose any threat to you. You will enjoy the true meaning of

freedom."

"..."

"I will deal with all the excess evil energy in your body and help you find a permanent solution. And I will also complete my mission after completing my mission..."

"No, that's not the case!"

"...Eh? Mu Qing, why are you...?"

Before Lu Lingqiu finished speaking, he found that the girl was standing behind him, pinching the corner of her skirt, her body was shaking slightly, and she kept shaking her head. Although she could not see her expression clearly under the bangs, her depressed look was obviously

I'm about to cry.

"what happened……?"

He stopped, hurriedly walked to her, and gently rubbed her smooth, light grass-colored hair. He was surprised in his heart: Did I say something wrong?

The girl silently took out the light green "glazed flower divine order" from the spirit ring, held it tightly in her palm, covered her heart with both hands, raised her little face, and emphasized in a firm voice:

"Even if the thousand-year period has arrived, I, I still...

I don’t want to leave you!”

——

Time seemed to have stopped for a second.

Lu Lingqiu was stunned on the spot,

Until a long, long time passed,

He then stared into the girl's rose-red eyes and asked again:

"Mu Qing, do you know the meaning of this sentence?"

"Ok, I know."

She held the flower god order tighter:

"I am the guardian of the wood spirit of Jinghua Palace and your spirit envoy.

Whether it's loneliness or pain, I don't care.

I just want to stay by your side."

"Mu Qing..."

"I will catch up with other seniors as soon as possible,

I will also try my best to become what you like and never do anything wrong again.

must."
