Above the barren desert, Qin Qipeng landed slowly on his flying sword, calmly collecting the corpse of a just slain monster into his storage bag.

Suddenly, a faint sound of sand rubbing against something came from behind. Qin Qipeng immediately felt a sense of danger and his flying sword shot out, stabbing towards the back.

Buzz!

The flying sword seemed to be trapped in quicksand, bound by an invisible force, unable to move forward.

"Not bad, your cultivation has improved again..."

A familiar voice, a familiar black-robed mask, made Qin Qipeng slightly stunned before his face was filled with joy. "Senior!"

Qin Changqing flicked his hand and returned the flying sword to Qin Qipeng, feeling somewhat depressed.

"Child, are you trying to murder your own father?"

Fortunately, your father's cultivation is high.

"This is a protective Law Treasure. You must keep it close to you. If you encounter someone wearing the same pendant, you must not harm them. They might be your brothers or sisters..."

Qin Changqing handed over the pendant and explained its functions.

Qin Qipeng was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him, but then became somewhat puzzled.

"Brothers and sisters? Senior, who exactly are you?"

After so many encounters, he had developed a great deal of trust in the black-robed person and knew that he wouldn't deceive him.

But he only had one younger brother, Qin Qicheng. Where did these other brothers and sisters come from?

He knew Qin Qicheng very well. Was it necessary to specially create a Law Treasure as a token?

Qin Changqing said lightly, "This item was entrusted to me by your father to give to you. I am a friend of your father!"

My father's friend?

In Qin Qipeng's mind, the image of his father, Jia Qiang, who was always obedient and focused on cultivation when he was still in the Qin family, suddenly appeared.

He hadn't gone back much in these years, and although his impression of Jia Qiang was not as deep as that of Uncle Zhang Changqing, Jia Qiang didn't seem like the kind of person who could be friends with a senior.

His father was just a small burden in the family, always cautious in front of his mother, an ordinary father like that.

Yet, there was such a powerful friend.

This truly puzzled him.

What merits and abilities did his father have that could make a senior like this do things for him?

If it were Uncle Zhang Changqing, he could understand. After all, he later heard that Uncle Zhang Changqing was taken away by an elder from the Extreme Clarity Sect, and since then, Uncle Zhang Changqing had become mysterious.

It seemed that no one in the family could contact him.

If he couldn't figure it out, then he wouldn't think about it for now. He could ask his father later... Now he could explain why the mysterious black-robed senior took care of him so much and repeatedly helped him!

Qin Changqing said lightly, "You don't need to think too much. Just remember that those who wear the same pendant are your beloved relatives, siblings, and you must not harm them, even if others offer money... As for the reasons behind all this, you will understand in the future!"

Qin Qipeng was grateful and bowed down, saying, "I will remember your teachings, senior!"

Qin Changqing nodded slightly and accepted the bow calmly.

For a son to kneel before his father is only natural!

It was not in vain that I have put in so much effort and hard work all these years. This child is indeed sensible.

"Diligently cultivate and never slack off..." Before the words could even finish, Qin Changqing had already disappeared into the white light.

Extreme Clarity Sect.

Since Qin Changqing was taken away by the black-robed person and the alliance between the righteous and demonic paths was formed, most of the people from the Qin, Lin, and Huang families have returned to their respective places.

After all, they are still family. Now that there are no other threats and they don't have to worry about danger anymore, naturally they don't want to rely on others anymore.

Qin Changqing's wives and children continue to stay in the Qingyun Mansion of the sect.

Huang Miaoying, as Guan Zilan's direct disciple, is no exception and often comes to see her daughter.

In the courtyard.

Huang Miaoying looked lovingly at the girl sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, feeling gratified. This is her and Qin Changqing's daughter, Qin Mengxi.

Originally, she should have been named Huang Mengxi, but as Qin Changqing broke free from control and was taken away by Guan Zilan, his status became higher and higher. The Huang family changed their surname as a gesture of goodwill towards Qin Changqing.

Especially after learning that Qin Changqing had a mysterious protector behind him, the Huang family broke out in a cold sweat. Huang Yuanjing also felt a chill down his spine. Fortunately, he didn't exert too much pressure on Qin Changqing at the time, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died...

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and Qin Changqing, dressed in a black robe, appeared.

"Who are you!"

Huang Miaoying was startled and instinctively stood up and shouted.

Upon hearing her mother's exclamation, Qin Mengxi opened her eyes abruptly and, upon seeing Qin Changqing, immediately exclaimed in joy, "Master!"

Master?

Huang Miaoying was first stunned, then shocked.

Could it be that the person in front of her is the mysterious protector of Qin Changqing as the legends say?

She had heard her daughter mention it later. There was a mysterious black-robed person who repeatedly helped and guided her, and had already recognized her as a disciple.

No wonder it was like this. So, this mysterious black-robed person turned out to be Qin Changqing's protector!

Qin Changqing glanced at Huang Miaoying and noticed that this woman hadn't seen her for over a year and seemed much more desolate. The talented junior disciple who had been somewhat arrogant when they first met had also been smoothed out by him.

Perhaps it was because of giving birth to a child, she had become even gentler.

After calming his mind, Qin Changqing took out the pendant and handed it to Qin Mengxi, repeating the same words.

"Siblings? Master, what exactly is the relationship between you and my father?" Qin Mengxi played with the pendant, curious.

"Just friends..." Qin Changqing said lightly.

After giving a few more instructions, just as he was about to leave, Huang Miaoying couldn't help but speak up, "Senior, please wait!"

Qin Changqing's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned to look back.

Huang Miaoying felt a bit uneasy and cautiously said with a touch of sadness, "Senior, as the eternal guardian, can you help me pass on a message? Please tell him to come back and visit more often when he's free. Weiwei, Fenglan, and Qianqian all miss him, especially Weiwei. For cultivators, their lifespan is long, but Weiwei and the others are mere mortals. They don't know how many more times they can meet in this lifetime..."

These words caused a slight pain in Qin Changqing's heart.

Yes, Qin Weiwei and the others are all mortals. Even with the care of the Extreme Clarity Sect and the assistance of numerous elixirs, they can only live for a few more years at most. Mortals are still mortals, bound by the limitations of lifespan. This is the law of heaven and earth.

Qin Weiwei is still his first wife, his beloved wife, and has been with him for the longest time. Qin Changqing's feelings for her are different from the others.

To be honest, Qin Changqing feels guilty towards these mortal wives and concubines, but more than that, he feels reluctant. This is also why he is eager to take control, so that he can bring these wives and concubines with him as soon as possible.

To give them a life of freedom and more companionship.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Changqing nodded slowly and said, "I understand. I will convey these words to him."

His figure flashed and disappeared.

Huang Miaoying stood still in a daze, her mouth slightly open. For some reason, as she watched the figure in the black robe leave, she felt a sense of loss...

She... also wants to be eternal!

Jade Sea Sect, Eternal Residence.

Wen Luqing smiled as she watched the beautiful children playing happily in the courtyard, her eyes filled with tenderness. "Qixian, be careful, don't fall!"

"I know, Mother!"

Qin Qixian replied in a childish voice, then continued playing on his own.

The power of immortal energy surrounded his body, a natural protection bestowed by heaven and earth, a great fortune.

Suddenly, a white light appeared in the courtyard, and Qin Changqing's figure emerged.

Wen Luqing stood up abruptly, her lips pursed and her eyes slightly red. "Chang... "

Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Changqing gestured to stop her, then set up a soundproof barrier around them. He smiled and opened his arms. "Long time no see, Qingqing!"

This woman is the only one who knows his true identity and has the most special relationship with him.

Wen Luqing threw herself into Qin Changqing's arms, lightly pounding his chest with a coquettish tone, complaining, "Why did you disappear for so long!"

Qin Changqing sighed, "You know, I have to navigate among the fourteen sects, and it's indeed a bit overwhelming. Thank you for your hard work."

Wen Luqing also understood his difficulties. She gently caressed Qin Changqing's face and said affectionately, "It's not hard as long as you remember me..."

Qin Changqing held her delicate hand and lightly kissed her smooth forehead, smiling. "I'm creating a better environment for you and our daughter. Just be patient. Once I completely control the situation, we can be together every day!"

Being together every day is naturally not possible, but it's a comforting statement.

However, there must be something to look forward to.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Wen Luqing firmly believed, her beautiful eyes filled with trust and infatuation for Qin Changqing.

This girl is a bit too romantic.

Fortunately, Qin Changqing is not a scumbag.

Wen Luqing wiped her face and turned to look at the bewildered little guy, smiling and saying, "Qi Xian, come here!"

Qin Qixian turned his head upon hearing the call, showing a puzzled expression.

He was still young and hadn't seen Qin Changqing many times since he could remember. It was normal for him not to recognize Qin Changqing, especially since he was wearing a black robe.

Qin Changqing approached and hugged Qin Qixian in his arms, feeling somewhat emotional.

This was his first descendant with an Immortal Spirit Root, and he was also Wen Luqing's child!

"You have to keep this thing with you at all times, you can't take it off, understand?"

He personally hung the pendant around Qin Qixian's neck, explaining its functions to Wen Luqing.

Wen Luqing's eyes sparkled with excitement, feeling even more tender-hearted. She understood that Qin Changqing still cared about them, and this baby seemed to be specially crafted.

The little guy played with the pendant on his neck. Although he didn't quite understand what it was, he liked it and happily ran off to play.

"Can you accompany me tonight?" Wen Luqing grabbed Qin Changqing's arm, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

Qin Changqing's heart softened and he nodded, saying, "Okay! But I still have some things to take care of, so I'll come later, around three in the morning."

Wen Luqing received a definite answer and her face immediately filled with joy. "I'll wait for you, wear the clothes you like!"

Qin Changqing nodded slightly and disappeared into the white light.

Midnight.

Qin Changqing appeared once again in Wen Luqing's room. At this moment, a graceful figure was faintly visible behind the curtains on the bed. Qin Changqing lifted the curtains, and Wen Luqing, who had been waiting with a flushed face, was already there.

"It's been so long since you last came, you have to make it up to me..."

Her slender arms hooked around Qin Changqing's neck, gently pulling him into the curtains.

Clouds and rain churned, unwelcome guests intruded into the secluded pool, the beauty couldn't bear it, and the spring night was short...

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Wen Luqing lay in Qin Changqing's arms, her long hair scattered, her face filled with satisfaction.

"Changqing, if only you could stay by my side forever."

Wen Luqing murmured softly.

Qin Changqing fell silent for a moment before saying, "Believe me, it won't be long before it can happen!"

Wen Luqing nodded and said, "I believe you!"

With Qin Changqing by her side, Wen Luqing felt a sense of peace she had never experienced before. Combined with her exhaustion from overwork, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, sunlight shone through the window and onto the bed. Wen Luqing's eyelashes trembled as she woke up and instinctively reached out to touch the space beside her.

Empty.

Has he left?

Wen Luqing slowly sat up, caressing the spot where Qin Changqing had lain, lost in thought...
