The stranger is indeed like jade

Qingcun...
Nangong Qi and Han Que followed the woman in black from a distance as usual, but the woman in black seemed different from usual...
The woman in black usually likes to stay at home. At most she just goes to see a few girls who live here without saying anything, just sits and walks, or wanders around the village. Most of the time she is still in At home.
Today, the woman in black walked out of her home very early, uncharacteristically. Usually, even if the woman in black wanted to come out, it would be after noon.
Han Que and Nangong Qi looked at each other. It seemed that there was something different today...
Han Que and Nangong Qi quietly followed the woman in black. The woman in black walked towards the mountains behind the village. They also followed quietly into the mountains. The woman in black walked to a place on the mountainside. Stopped in front of the cave.
Han Que and Nangong Qi did not dare to follow too closely. They could only see that the woman in black seemed to have touched some mechanism next to the cave, and then walked in.
After waiting for the woman in black to enter for a while, Han Que and Nangong Qicai stood in front of the cave.
"How about we go in and take a look?"
Nangong Qi asked.
"Is it a little dangerous?"
Han Que said.
Now that Nangong Li is not here, the cultivation level of the woman in black is not yet known. Han Que and Nangong Qi also know nothing about the situation in this cave. If they go in rashly and encounter something, there will be no one to support them. …it’s a bit risky after all…
"But...this is a rare opportunity..."
Nangong Qi said.
Nangong Qi didn't want to give up this opportunity. After all, this was the only time that the mother-in-law did something unusual and abnormal. This time, they might find something. The two of them had been staring at each other for so many days but found nothing. Finally, they got some clues. Nangong Qi didn't want to give up like this and wanted to take a gamble...
"This is indeed a rare opportunity..."
Han Que murmured.
The two of them had been staring at each other for many days, and finally found something different. They felt a little unwilling to give up Han Que so easily, but... Han Que always felt that it was too risky to go in hastily...
"Forget it, let's take a gamble!"
Han Que looked at Nangong Qi and said.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Que still decided to take a gamble. The opportunity must not be missed and never come back again, just in case there will be some major discovery during this trip!
"it is good!"
Nangong Qi nodded.
The reason why Han Que made this decision was because Han Que felt that by joining forces with Nangong Qi, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still escape...
Nangong Qi and Han Que followed the example of the woman in black, activated the mechanism in the cave, and then the two of them walked towards the depths of the cave.
Nangong Qi just took steps to enter the cave, but Han Que actually grabbed Nangong Qi. Nangong Qi looked at Han Que in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand the intention of Han Que's move. Han Que let go of Nangong Qi and said.
"You go behind, I go ahead."
Of course Nangong Qi knew that the front was more dangerous than the back.So Nangong Qi shook his head and said.
"My cultivation level is higher than yours, so I should walk in front and in the most dangerous position. You don't have to take into account what my brother said about taking care of me."
After Nangong Qi finished speaking, he walked forward without waiting for Han Que's answer. Han Que shook his head helplessly and followed Nangong Qi.
What Nangong Qi didn't know was that the reason why Han Que was unwilling to let Nangong Qi take risks was not just because of Nangong Li's entrustment and care for Nangong Qi, but... But Han Que knew that it wasn't the time yet, and he couldn't do it yet. explain……
Nangong Qi doesn't think as much as Han Que thinks. Nangong Qi just doesn't want the people around him to take care of him like this. Nangong Qi likes to rely on his brother, but that doesn't mean that Nangong Qi is willing and accustomed to relying on everyone. Especially Han Que, whom he considers a good friend and whose cultivation level is weaker than his own.
Nangong Qi felt that no one should give in to him all the time. He and Han Que were not brothers, but friends. Han Que had no obligation to take care of him like his brother Nangong Li. Even though he was stronger than Han Que in cultivation, How could Han Que be allowed to explore the way for him?
This cave has been artificially transformed and is not like a natural cave.It's just that this cave is complicated. Even if it has been artificially transformed, the path in the cave is still very difficult to find.
Basically, there is a fork in the cave every few steps. The two of them are not familiar with the terrain, and they don't know whether these roads will eventually lead to the same place or where they will lead.
Nangong Qi, who was walking in front, stopped, looked at Han Que behind him, and asked.
"There are too many forks in the road and I can't tell the difference. Should I continue moving forward?"
"Let's walk around randomly first. Remember the way. If we can't find the woman in black, we'll go out first."
Han Que said.
This opportunity was hard-won, and both of them had already come this far. There was no reason to give up halfway. Han Que thought that he would have to look for it again... to see if there were any useful clues...
Nangong Qi nodded and continued walking forward.
Han Que followed Nangong Qi, and the two of them walked deeper into the cave.
Nangong Qi walked in front, and when he saw a fork in the road, he turned randomly. After walking for a long time, Han Que suddenly spoke up from behind.
"Aqi, don't think about it and leave."
Hearing Han Que's voice, Nangong Qi turned back to look at Han Que.
"The roads here are too similar. If we go further inside, I'm afraid we won't be able to remember the way back, and we'll be in trouble if we get stuck in this hole!"
Han Que looked at Nangong Qi and continued.
Nangong Qi nodded. Nangong Qi actually almost couldn't remember it. There were so many roads, and these roads were so similar, it was really hard to remember...
Just as the two were about to return along the way they came, a female voice came.
"sorry……"
Han Que and Nangong Qi had followed the woman in black for many days, so they could naturally tell that the voice belonged to the woman in black.
Han Que and Nangong Qi winked at each other. They leaned against the wall and walked toward the place where the sound came from. Unexpectedly, when they were about to give up, they heard the voice of the woman in black... ...Han Que and Nangong Qi naturally couldn't give up this opportunity, so they naturally wanted to go and find out.
The two of them slowly approached the place where the sound came from. When they arrived, Han Que and Nangong Qi found that it was a stone room, and the door of the stone room was half open.
The two of them did not dare to go in rashly, so they could only look at the scene inside through the open stone door.
The woman in black was standing next to a stone platform, and there was a person on the stone platform. That person was the Qing'er girl whom Han Que and Nangong were most familiar with in this village.
"You should wake up too!"
The woman in black said.
Then the woman in black pressed lightly on Qing'er's forehead, and Qing'er girl slowly opened her eyes.
"Mother-in-law?"
Qing'er girl called.
"Mother-in-law, why am I here?"
Miss Qing'er obviously didn't understand her current situation, and looked at the woman in black innocently and asked.
"Qing'er, do you know why I have raised you for so many years?"
The woman in black asked slowly.
Qing'er was confused by the question from the woman in black. She didn't know what to say, so she just lay on the stone platform blankly and didn't answer anything.
The woman in black didn't want an answer from Qing'er, so even though she didn't hear Qing'er's answer, she continued to talk to herself.
"I have raised you for many years, just for this day!"
The woman in black put her hand on Qing'er's face.
"I'm in a good mood today. She wrote me a reply... so you can understand better. Others don't get this kind of treatment!"
Qing'er looked at the woman in black with a hint of fear in his eyes. The woman in black could naturally see the fear in Qing'er's eyes, but the woman in black seemed not to see it and still looked at Qing'er lovingly.
"You are a medicinal herb that I raised. Now that the medicinal herb is mature, it's time to pick it!"
After the woman in black finished speaking, a large ball of black energy instantly condensed in her hands.
When the woman in black was about to attack Qing'er, Han Que and Nangong Qi finally understood the origin of this mysterious woman in black.
This is not a mother-in-law who cultivates immortality, this is clearly a demon!
Han Que and Nangong Qi knew that if they didn't take action, Miss Qing'er would definitely die in the hands of the woman in black.
Nangong Qi threw his sword out instantly, while Han Que's sword was also in his hand.
Nangong Qi's sword stabbed at the palm of the woman in black. The woman in black had to put away her demonic aura and give up attacking Qing'er, and then dodge Nangong Qi's sword.
"Who are you two? Why are you here!"
The woman in black pointed at Han Que and Nangong Qi and said.
"You don't need to worry about it!"
Now that he had concluded that the woman in black was not a good person, Nangong Qi naturally did not need to worry. He immediately took back his sword and stabbed the woman in black.
Han Que took the opportunity to save Qing'er girl.
"Han Que, take Qing'er out first! I'll cut off the queen!"
Nangong Qi attacked the woman in black with all his strength, trying to delay Han Que's time.
The woman in black looked very calm when facing Nangong Qi's all-out attack. She evaded all Nangong Qi's moves with just a few moves.
"The sword is good, but the person... still lacks firepower!"
The woman in black stood in front of Nangong Qi and said slowly.
When Nangong Qi saw the woman in black in front of him, he was about to raise his sword and stab her, but found that the next second the woman in black was extremely far away from him, and he could not stab her at all.
Nangong Qi simply couldn't keep up with the speed of the woman in black, and their cultivation levels were not on the same level.
Nangong Qi also knew that he was not on the same level as the woman in black. Nangong Qi knew that he would be in danger if he fell into the hands of this woman in black. He only hoped that Han Que and the young girl could run away. …
