Chapter 49: Suspicion
The person who came with a smiling face and a plump figure was none other than Qian Datong.
Duan Qing was a little shocked when he saw Qian Datong. Speaking of which, he and this person were also destined. He had been in Ling Mine for so long. Apart from meeting Senior Sister Su in private, this was Qian Datong, and this was the second time.
Before Duan Qing could think of how to speak, Qian Datong had already walked up to Duan Qing, showing his signature squinting smile. "Sure enough, it's Junior Brother Duan! I said I thought he looked like you just now when I saw his figure. We haven't seen each other for half a year. You won't be hiding in the mine all the time, right?"
Duan Qing's heart trembled slightly when he heard this, but the expression on his face remained the same. This Qian Datong seemed to be a little concerned about his own affairs?
I don’t know if he said it casually, or if he was deliberately testing it? Or maybe he was really aware of his secret!
Duan Qing went over his actions during this period in his mind and made sure that there should be nothing missing, so he showed a sad face and complained half-seriously. "Hey, yes, senior brother is right! Junior brother, I have just joined the sect not long ago. I know very well that my cultivation is very low, so I don't dare to slack off for a moment."
When Qian Datong heard this, he patted his round belly sheepishly and said jokingly. "Junior Brother Duan is so diligent, which makes me a little ashamed, Senior Brother!"
After saying that, Qian Datong noticed the idiot behind Duan Qing and asked curiously. "Hey! Is this donkey following Junior Brother Duan?"
Duan Qing nodded and answered truthfully. "The little guy I picked up when I went out to look for water."
Qian Datong seemed to be very interested in the idiot. He had a big belly, so he approached the idiot and wanted to touch the idiot's head. But before his hand could reach up, the idiot suddenly stretched out his head and opened his mouth, facing Qian Datong's. Biting by hand.
Qian Datong was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hands, swayed back, slipped, and fell to the ground. His retracted left hand just happened to rest on Duan Qing's feet.
Duan Qing was also startled, and quickly helped Qian Datong up, while scolding the idiot. "You idiot, are you looking for death? You bite everyone you see!"
The idiot was scolded by Duan Qing. Not only did he not feel that he was at fault, but he screamed stupidly at Duan Qing. After screaming, he turned around and pointed his butt towards Duan Qing, wagging his furry tail. , as if you can do nothing to me!
Duan Qing was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect this stupid guy to have such a bad temper. Why didn't he notice that this guy was so unreasonable before? . .
Seeing Qian Chase falling to the ground and not getting up, he reached out to help him and apologized awkwardly. "You made Senior Brother Qian laugh! This little donkey is uncultured and a complete idiot. I apologize to Senior Brother Qian on his behalf."
Duan Qing put his hand on Qian Datong to help him up, but he saw Qian Datong was stunned, didn't speak, and didn't react at all.
He was a little puzzled. Seeing that Qian Datong was the one who dared to go on stage to compete with Xiao Jianchun at the Soul-Spreading Meeting. No matter how bad he was, he had to be in the Mortal Transformation Realm. He would be knocked stupid by just one fall. ?
However, Duan Qing's doubts did not last long, when Qian Datong suddenly took his hand and stood up from the ground with a strong effort, smiling rather embarrassedly. "Hehe, it's me, senior brother, who made Junior Brother Duan laugh. This little guy has quite a personality!"
After speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked sideways at the idiot beside him, nodding while looking. "Tsk tsk Yes, it is indeed interesting and tight!"
Duan Qing smiled as he looked at Qian Datong, who looked like a human and animal. He didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.
He suddenly felt a little awkward. He didn't know why. He felt that although Qian Datong was looking at the idiot on the surface, his eyes seemed to be drifting toward him.
Qian Datong praised the idiot a few times. Seeing that Duan Qing didn't speak, he said goodbye first. "Senior Brother, I have some rough stones that I haven't handed over yet, so I won't talk to Junior Brother Duan anymore. We will talk when we have time."
Duan Qing didn't want to talk to Qian Datong anymore and just held his fists. "Senior Brother Qian takes his leave."
Qian Datong squinted his eyes and nodded, then strode towards the mine with a big belly.
Seeing Qian Datong's figure walking further and further away, Duan Qing also called the idiot and walked to His Highness Zhenling's house.
As Duan Qing walked, he was replaying the scene in his mind. After Qian Datong fell down, his words and behavior suddenly became a little abnormal, and his eyes always drifted towards him, maybe he noticed something!
No, probably not. He is just a new disciple of Jin Xuan Sect, and he has only had a few contacts with Qian Datong. There is no reason why he would attract this person's attention, let alone discover his secret.
Moreover, looking at Qian Datong's performance at the Soul-Spreading Meeting and his second senior brother's evaluation of him, he didn't look like a scheming person.
Looking back at the three huge mine entrances not far away, Qian Datong's figure had disappeared into one of them.
Somehow Duan Qing suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
It seems that he must be more cautious in the future. In the Jinxuan Sect, his current cultivation level is really not good enough. If his secret is discovered by others, he will not only lose the hope of chasing after the geniuses such as Senior Sister Su, but even Life will also be lost.
After Duan Qing returned to the hut, Qian Datong, who had disappeared in the mine, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mine, still smiling, looking at the hut of His Highness Zhenling with narrowed eyes, lingering for a long time, and then turned around. Returned to the residence of His Highness Zhenling.
Duan Qing returned to the hut and carefully closed the doors and windows, feeling relieved in his heart.
He was really afraid of running into other people on the road. Now, he dared not deal with other people easily. The more he came into contact with others, the more likely his secret would be discovered.
But he was also a little puzzled. He wondered where the other fellow disciples in the spiritual mine had gone.
The five peaks and the seven elders' disciples each came to the spiritual mine to take turns. After so long, he only met Senior Sister Su and Qian Datong in private. The others seemed to have disappeared for no reason.
Duan Qing looked in the direction of the Zhenling Palace. The leader, Elder Li, should be guarding the Zhenling Palace. The other disciples must have found their own residences to practice, and most of them were in the houses under the Zhenling Palace.
After all, if it wasn't like him who had a treasure and was weak and needed to stay away from others, no one would like to stay in the dark and boring mine.
But there are exceptions. Like Senior Sister Su that day, it was only a short while from the appearance of Xuanyin Kuihu to her arrival. She must have been somewhere in the mine before.
Duan Qing explained the current situation. He didn't dare to take out the spiritual spring water to practice in this hut when there were probably many fellow disciples around.
In fact, he had just planned to go outside to get water and then return to the mine to continue practicing. After all, his top priority now was to quickly improve his cultivation and he couldn't afford to waste any time.
But he didn't expect to run into Qian Datong just after leaving the mine. His sudden abnormal and weird behavior forced Duan Qing to act cautiously, so he decided to go back to the hut to rest.
