The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 196 How Can I Be Angry at My Master?
As Dongfang Ran's voice fell, the weakened formation became strong again.

Gu Qingyin and the others were no longer in a hurry to learn the formation, and they all followed the sound to watch the fun.

After walking for a while, Gu Qingyin estimated that they were almost there. He controlled the soul mirror and shone it forward. The golden-red light suddenly retreated, leaving a clear space.

Not far away, Chen Ling and Dongfang Ran were both slumped on the ground, half dead, their hands still tightly grasping the talisman rope.

Chen Ling stared into the void with a dejected look on her face, while Dongfang Ran stared at Chen Ling with a ferocious look as if he wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh.

Gu Qingyin stepped forward and looked them over. "What happened? Has the alliance broken down?"

Chen Ling didn't move. Dongfang Ran was shocked. He looked over, his eyes fixed on Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing. After a while, he sighed with mixed emotions, "I can't beat you after all."

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow, "When we were little, I told you not to always be jealous of other people's things. You thought I was hurting you. I thought you were mentally ill and didn't want to play with you anymore. You thought I was afraid that you would surpass me. I got upset and fought with you. You thought I was jealous that you were getting better and better."

Gu Qingyin shook her head. "Your brain is no better than Chen Ling's."

Dongfang Ran smiled bitterly, "I have never understood why you always encounter all the good things."

"When I was little, who wouldn't envy you for being Gu Ziqian's apprentice? You were gentle, strong, and good-looking, just like the master in my dreams. You were also incredibly talented, which made people even more jealous. It's just that I was the only one who showed it more obviously."

Gu Qingyin couldn't help but added, "You are the most persistent."

Dongfang Ran was stunned for a moment, then sighed and admitted, "Yes, I was too persistent. So persistent that even when you disappeared, I was still monitoring everything related to you, watching your sons grow up little by little, watching Huo Yunjing gradually lose his energy and spirit because he couldn't find you, and finally died in an accident."

Gu Qingyin's eyebrows jumped. Even though they had already started chatting, she still felt sad to hear once again that Huo Yunjing had searched the whole world for her for ten years and finally died of exhaustion.

Huo Yunjing didn't say anything, but just held her hand silently.

Dongfang Ran smiled upon seeing this and continued, "And your master. After you disappeared, your master came to the association and made a scene. He could have directly become a ghost fairy, but in order to vent his anger for you, he was stripped of his qualifications by the underworld. I don't know if he has been reincarnated yet."

Gu Qingyin didn't know about this and she frowned as she listened.

"I'm so jealous. You were loved by your master when you were little, met your true love right after you came down the mountain, and were reunited with your family after being missing for twenty years. How come you have all these good things?"

Dongfang Ran stared at Gu Qingyin, "If I don't compete with you, who should I compete with?"

Gu Qingyin frowned, not understanding at all. "Why do you have to compare yourself with others? If you want to compare yourself so much, why don't you compare yourself with yourself yesterday? Isn't it enough as long as you get better day by day?"

Dongfang Ran shook his head. "If I had listened to your advice, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Her face became paler and paler, and upon closer inspection, she seemed to be thinner than before.

"Gu Qingyin." Dongfang Ran said sincerely, "I don't want to see you again in the next life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Ran died with his neck tilted.

It was a bit sudden. Not only Gu Qingyin, but everyone else was unable to react. How could he die while just talking?
Before he died, Dongfang Ran's cheeks were visibly sunken.

Gu Qingyin's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward and kicked away Dongfang Ran's hand that was holding the talisman rope.

The talisman rope had been devouring her spiritual power. When the spiritual power in her dantian was gone, it was devouring her flesh and blood. If she didn't let go, Dongfang Ran would turn into a mummy in a short while.

This formation is really weird.

Gu Qingyin looked at Chen Ling, "Where did you buy this formation?"

Chen Ling's eyes trembled, but she didn't say anything. Gu Qingyin had a blank expression on her face, "Don't want to talk? Fine, then bring him back to Xuanxie and let the criminal law elder of Xuanxie come and ask him."

She pulled out a fire poker and tried to pry Chen Ling's hand away, but she couldn't move it.

Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh. "It's useless. Unless I die like Dongfang Ran, the formation won't let me go."

Gu Qingyin gave her a strange look, put away the fire stick, took out a long knife, and said calmly: "If it can't be loosened, just chop it off."

Chen Ling's eyes widened in horror, "You're crazy!"

Gu Qingyin ignored her and swept his left hand across the blade, and a few flames suddenly appeared on the blade.

She had to heat the knife so that when she cut, the wound would be burned and the bleeding would stop immediately.

Chen Ling was so scared that she couldn't hide. She could only look at Liu Ergou and the others in vain. "You're just going to watch? Aren't you righteous heavenly masters?! She's going to chop off my hand!"

Liu Ergou stroked his beard and said, "She is doing this for your own good."

Miao Yan nodded, "I can't just watch you get sucked dry, can I?" After a pause, he added, "If you can't accept my idol taking action, I can do it too."

Chen Ling was so exhausted that she almost fainted. "I, I want to complain to you!"

Gu Qingyin stepped forward with a knife in hand and sighed, "It was an emergency, please forgive me."

After saying that, he raised his knife and swung it down!
Chen Ling immediately fell to the ground with a scream, covering her broken wrist and sweating profusely. After a while, she fainted.

She had already been almost sucked away by the formation, and was in severe pain, so naturally she couldn't hold on.

"Miao Yan." Gu Qingyin said with a gentle smile, "Please take her with you. She is unconscious now and has no defense ability. When we come back after looking at the formation, she may not be alive."

Miao Yan straightened his chest and said, "No problem!" Then he walked forward and carried Chen Ling up.

As for Dongfang Ran, Gu Qingyin found a piece of cloth, wrapped her body, and handed it to Elder Miao.

Under the protection of the soul mirror, everyone continued to study the formation until the energy of the formation was exhausted, and several people were still standing there in deep thought.

About ten minutes later, Gu Qingyin came back to his senses, took out his knife, and dismantled the formation with a few slashes.

"Take it back and check it out. We should be able to find the source."

Liu Ergou stepped forward and took the things.

Elder Miao looked left and right, feeling somewhat dissatisfied and confused. This team...when did it become led by Gu Qingyin?
The pursuit was over and everyone started their return journey. They stayed in the small town for one night on the way. They returned to Yuncheng the next afternoon. After a big meal, they went back to Xuanxie in the evening to submit the commission.

Tuoba Yan settled the bond fee for them on the spot, and the commission was concluded.

As for the subsequent issues regarding the formation, there is no need for these special-grade heavenly masters.

Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing returned home and went straight to the room upstairs.

"Master!"

Gu Ziqian appeared, smiling charmingly, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Gu Qingyin's breathing stagnated. How could she be angry with her master when his master was so handsome?
