Yingxiang shook her head in disappointment and said, "I don't know."

"Why didn't you know, Senior Sister?"

Lin Qingqing's face became paler and paler, and she thought to herself that it was not good. Her senior brother's whereabouts were unknown, and the Black Demon Ridge was in chaos. If her senior brother met the Demon Lord, according to his current physical condition, it would not be easy for him to escape.

"When we were almost at the place where the five-flavor fire grass grew, we unfortunately ran into a patrolling group of demons. Senior Brother signaled us to run separately, so I took the initiative to lead the demons away. However, they were not easy to deal with and I suffered some internal injuries. Fortunately, I met Junior Sister Qingqing."

Lin Qingqing asked thoughtfully: "What is the blood on Senior Sister's body?"

"You're talking about this, of course it's a demon's."

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing's pale face turned a little redder, and she subconsciously touched the double glazed mandarin duck rings hidden in her sleeve.

Fortunately, it did not have any abnormal reaction, which indirectly proved that the senior brother was safe for the time being. The next step was to find him. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Where will Senior Brother go? Has he told Senior Sister about it?"

Yingxiang racked her brains to think about it, and after a moment she said, "Brother Qinyu is not someone who will give up easily. If he hasn't got the herbs yet, he will definitely go again once he gets rid of the demon."

Thinking of her senior brother's personality, Lin Qingqing said, "Then there is no time to lose. I will set off now."

"I will go with my junior sister."

"Senior sister is not in good health and has difficulty moving. We can just meet here." Lin Qingqing looked at her with a puzzled look, but seemed to be thinking about something in her heart.

Yingxiang shook her head slowly and said hesitantly: "I am also half responsible for my brother coming here. Besides, if I go with my sister, we can take care of each other. If I am left alone here, what if we encounter a demon..."

Seeing that Yingxiang was determined to go, Lin Qingqing couldn't refuse anymore. After repeated consideration, she had to go with her.

Soon after, the two of them walked through a dark area, one on the left and one on the right, and gradually approached the bloody swamp.

"Ahead is the cliff between the Black Demon Ridge and the Bloody Swamp. Be careful, Junior Sister. The terrain here is rugged and uneven." Yingxiang suddenly stopped at the fork in the road and reminded Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing glanced at her meaningfully, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and said, "Senior Sister, you should pay more attention."

"Brother doesn't seem to be here." Yingxiang said to Lin Qingqing a little disappointedly, and then cheered up, "Then let's split up along the cliff to look for the five-flavor fire grass."

"Okay, Senior Sister, go to the left, and I'll go to the right."

Yingxiang nodded.

After a while, Yingxiang's excited shouts were heard not far away.

Here they come! Lin Qingqing knew what was going on and hurried over.

"Junior sister, I found the five-flavor fire grass!" Yingxiang said with a smile on her face.

"Really?" Lin Qingqing asked back with a smile.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Yingxiang had to take a step forward. At this time, she was only half a foot away from the edge of the cliff. She pointed with her finger and excitedly said to her: "That's the orange grass!"

Lin Qingqing also took a step forward and looked around. There was indeed a special grass swaying alone in the wind.

At this moment, Yingxiang stood behind Lin Qingqing with a gloomy face, as if she only needed to push...

"Senior Sister, are you trying to push me off the cliff?"

Yingxiang was startled by Lin Qingqing's unexpected voice. Her hands that were stretched forward trembled, and she quickly retracted them and hid them behind her. Her heart was beating wildly, and she pretended to be calm and said, "How is it possible, Junior Sister!"

Lin Qingqing immediately turned around, smiled sweetly at Yingxiang, and said, "I'm just kidding, Senior Sister! It's just that this position will inevitably make people think too much. Can you forgive my rudeness?"

"Of course!" Yingxiang forced a smile.

"Hmm, it's probably difficult to pick the herbs at this distance," Lin Qingqing focused her attention on the herbs and racked her brains to think of a way to pick them. "There really is no way to pick them with magic, right, Senior Sister?"

Wait, Lin Qingqing just said "as expected"? Why did she use the word "as expected"? Thinking about it carefully, she felt that she was weird since she arrived here. Yingxiang was completely immersed in her own spiritual world and did not hear the words after Lin Qingqing said "as expected".

"Senior Sister?" Lin Qingqing waved her hand in front of Yingxiang a few times.

"Ah?" Yingxiang came back to her senses and explained quickly, "If I use magic to pick the herbs, it will damage the roots of the herbs and affect their efficacy, so I'll trouble you, Junior Sister."

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing stared at her quietly until she was completely exhausted, then smiled faintly, "I'm happy to serve you, Senior Sister."

Although she didn't know what Yingxiang was up to, Lin Qingqing would never let her harm her senior brother.

Lin Qingqing thought to herself, "Yingxiang looks like she wants to push me off the cliff, but she seems to have some concerns. She may do something when I'm picking herbs. However, if I pay more attention to her movements, there shouldn't be any big problems."

After making up her mind, she leaned over and climbed down the cliff. Not far from the edge there was a shaky five-flavor fireweed, which was her target.

A unique smell came to her nose on the wind. She sniffed it and frowned slightly, thinking: "I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere before."

As time was urgent, Lin Qingqing didn't take it seriously and pulled it out with her bare hands. The result was unexpectedly easy!

She raised her head inadvertently, and above her was Yingxiang's smiling face.

Yingxiang stretched out her hand with a smile: "Junior sister, give me your hand and I will pull you up."

Lin Qingqing always felt that although she had a smile on her face, she looked quite scary. When she was hesitating, Yingxiang invited her again.

"Come on, Junior Sister, I'll pull you up."

Under her cordial invitation, Lin Qingqing could not refuse directly, so she was cautious, mobilized her spiritual energy, turned her left hand slightly, and a vine instantly emerged from the palm of her hand. Following the guidance of her heart, it drilled into the steep cliff and was firmly fixed there.

Then she slowly stretched out her hand.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."

Yingxiang immediately held it tightly: "You're welcome."

As she finished her words, Yingxiang's hand suddenly relaxed, and Lin Qingqing naturally held her hand tightly in return.

Sure enough, he was waiting for her here!

"Ah! Junior sister, I'm sorry, I suddenly don't have any strength." Yingxiang quickly apologized to her.

"Senior Sister, please take a look at yourself in the mirror. You don't look like you're apologizing at all. Instead, you look disappointed."

"Oh, I was so careless. I got exposed. It's not fun."

Lin Qingqing looked up at Yingxiang, who was emitting a chill, and said something that surprised her very much.

"Sister, why are you so annoyed with me?"

She couldn't help but burst into laughter, but there was no smile in her eyes. The laughter stopped abruptly and she showed a fierce expression.

"You're an eyesore." She paused and said angrily, "You're just a little girl who came from nowhere. Why can you stay by Senior Brother Qinyu's side?"

"Obviously, obviously I am! I am the one who is most qualified to stand beside him." As she spoke, her momentum gradually weakened. If it weren't for you! If it weren't for your appearance..."

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing lowered her eyelids and asked coldly: "Do you really think that if I hadn't appeared, the person next to Senior Brother Qinyu would be you? Why not Senior Sister Qingli, or Senior Sister Qiao Wei, but you? Who gave you this confidence? It's just wishful thinking!"

"What did you say!" Yingxiang stared at Lin Qingqing in disbelief. She tried to pull her hand away, but when she couldn't get away, she slapped her in the face. "Bitch!"

Although it was only a moment, it was enough for Lin Qingqing to see her movements clearly and wanted to raise her right hand to fight back.

However, her eyes suddenly went dark and her whole body felt weak. Before she passed out, she vaguely heard Yingxiang's arrogant voice.

"Do you think that I would easily do it myself without absolute certainty? Lin Qingqing! Just enjoy the pain of being corroded by the evil spirit down there and die in despair!"
