The small courtyard where Gu Qingqing and the others stayed had a pretty good environment. There were quite a few rooms inside as well. Si Lin and Rong Ye had rooms that they usually stayed in. The two of them first helped Gu Qingqing choose a room for herself before helping her put her things away.

“Qingqing, are you afraid of staying alone at night?” Rong Ye turned his head and saw Gu Qingqing sitting obediently by the table and watching their actions. He could not help but walk forward and stroke her hair as he asked.

Gu Qingqing shook her head gently. She had grown up alone, so she would naturally not be afraid of living alone.

“The one on the left is Eldest brother’s room, and the one on the right is mine. If you need anything, you can look for us.” Rong Ye liked the way Gu Qingqing nodded obediently. He felt that looking at her like this made his heart melt; his tone unconsciously became much gentler.

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing looked at Rong Ye and then looked at Si Lin. After Si Lin nodded, she also nodded, indicating that she understood.

“Alright, it’s getting late. You should go to bed early.” Rong Ye looked at the sky outside and patted Gu Qingqing’s head.

After Gu Qingqing obediently sat on the bed, Rong Ye and Si Lin left her room together and considerately helped her close the door.

The two of them did not return to their respective rooms directly, but went to Si Lin’s room instead.

“Tell me, what is it exactly?” Si Lin sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He did not care about Rong Ye’s reaction and directly asked.

“Master received news that a devil cultivator has appeared in Qingfeng City, and it is very likely that it is a devil cultivator with a higher cultivation level. It seems that he wants to cause trouble in Qingfeng City. Some disciples of the nearby sects have disappeared without a trace in Qingfeng City for no reason, so Master asked us to come over and take a look. If there really is a devil cultivator, we will directly dispose of it.” Rong Ye saw that Si Lin had no intention of pouring him tea. He could only pick up the teapot and pour himself a cup of tea as he spoke.

“I didn’t find anything wrong with the place we just walked through.” Ever since they entered Qingfeng City, Si Lin had been using his spiritual sense to investigate the situation in the city, but he didn’t find anything strange.

“That devil cultivator must be crafty. Otherwise, those sects with disciples who went missing for no reason would have known about him long ago. Tomorrow, we’ll carefully investigate again.” Rong Ye didn’t find it strange. Devil cultivators had always been crafty, and it wasn’t easy to find them.

Si Lin nodded and agreed with Rong Ye. “It’s late. You can leave now.”

Before he could finish a cup of tea, the owner had ordered him to leave. Rong Ye glared at Si Lin unhappily, but when he thought of Si Lin’s martial strength, he was still ashamed and cowardly. He angrily placed the cup on the table and turned to leave Si Lin’s room.

Si Lin did not care about Rong Ye’s reaction at all. After Rong Ye left, he immediately set up a barrier at the door and sat on the bed to cultivate.

..

“Ah!”

A piercing scream broke through the sky and woke up the person who was sleeping.

The originally quiet night became lively because of this scream.

When Gu Qingqing was woken up by the scream, she was still a little dazed. She had memorized the sword manual for a while before going to bed and slept a little late. Now that it was only midnight, she naturally could not wake up easily. However, she subconsciously wanted to run to the door.

“Qingqing, are you alright?” Rong Ye’s voice sounded from outside the door.

Before she could walk to the door, the door was pushed open by Rong Ye from outside. Rong Ye immediately rushed into the room. When he saw Gu Qingqing, he hurriedly pulled her hand.

“Qingqing, are you alright?” Rong Ye asked again as he sized up Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing saw that Rong Ye was nervous and was a little confused. She subconsciously shook her head.
