Unexpectedly, this secret was finally not kept hidden.
Upon hearing what Chen Mo said, Qiu Qingshan not only did not refute, but instead admitted it boldly.
Hearing this, Mu Qiuge immediately froze. In an instant, she felt that her world view seemed to be about to collapse.
In her memory, the cave master has always been a kind-hearted person.
She has lived in the Black Mountain Cave for decades and has never seen the cave master get angry. Although he may seem somewhat fearful of death during large gatherings.
In his words, it was most important to preserve himself, because he did not want to lose the Black Mountain Cave as a fallback when he died.
For many years, the actions of Qiu Qingshan have been witnessed by everyone in the Black Mountain Cave. He is a thoroughly good person, and also the most considerate person for the well-being of everyone in the cave.
Even if he has already defected from the Black Mountain Cave, to this day, Mu Qiuge still believes that this cave master is an invaluable good person, and she owes him her whole life……
Mu Qiuge took a deep breath, her eyes moistened as she stared at Qiu Qingshan, hoping to find evidence of lying in his eyes.
But, she couldn't find any...
As the distant Mu Lengyue, who was about to rush over, stopped in her tracks, she looked at Qiu Qingshan's small figure in the distance with a dazed expression. Her first thought was the same as that of Mu Qiuge.
But, after careful consideration, she hesitated.
Qiu Qingshan is a good person, that's true. But, wasn't Mu Qiuge also seen as a good person by everyone in the Black Mountain Cave before?
He had always been friendly to others, but then, in one night, he killed half of the disciples in the Black Mountain Cave and even almost got her into trouble.
What is the truth, after all?
At this moment, Mu Lengyue was confused.
"So, all of this, including using Mu Qiuge for your poisonous caterpillar practice, letting her inner thousand-face bee get out of control and kill half of the disciples in the Black Mountain Cave, has been your plan all along, right?"
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with intensity.
Qiu Qingshan did not deny it, but nodded slightly.
Mu Qiuge took a deep breath, tears welled up in her eyes, "Cave master, why? Why? You are such a good person, why did you do this? Didn't your disciples and sisters love you very much back then? Why did you do this……"
"It's said that a teacher is like a father for life, and the disciples and sisters look up to you as a father. They say that even tigers don't harm their cubs, but why do you……"
"Admired? Haha, don't make me laugh."
Qiu Qingshan sneered coldly, "What use is the admiration of these weaklings?"
"A bunch of things that don't think of striving forward, who only know how to seek pleasure. No talent, no strength. It's better for them to die, as it's a kind of relief."
"And their deaths don't even need to be mentioned. They can help me raise my poisonous caterpillars."
Qiu Qingshan reached out, smiling widely at Mu Qiuge and beckoning her over with his hand, "The thousand-faced bee is still inside you, right? I've waited too long. Hurry up and come here, hand over the thousand-faced bee to me."
"Don't worry, as long as the thousand-faced bee returns to me, I will ensure you no longer suffer. I will let you return to the Black Mountain Cave and choose between wealth, honor, and prosperity."
"If you're worried that there will be criticism from the other disciples in the cave, I will handle it all in advance. After all, this batch of disciples is not of much use to me."
Thud, thud, thud——
Looking at Qiu Qingshan's smiling face in front of her, Mu Qiuge's heart raced, her eyes filled with confusion. She felt a sense of familiarity with the person before her, as if this was not the cave master she knew.
Mu Lengyue looked at the distant black spot. Although she couldn't see the face clearly, she could naturally hear the chilling words coming from the Green Bees.
What does it mean to be "not capable of great use"? What does it mean to "resolve everything"?
How many disciples of the Black Mountain Cave are working hard for it, but with just one word, he negates everything.
Moreover, he not only looks down upon the lives of the Black Mountain Cave disciples, who are all the ones he personally cultivated and whom she, Mu Lengyue, had witnessed growing up.
Whether it was the disciples killed many years ago or the current ones, in Mu Lengyue's eyes, they were no different from family.
But, yet, even so, Qiu Qingshan would just kill as he pleased...
If one day he felt that she was not of great use either, then...
Thinking about it, Mu Lengyue backed away in terror, not daring to move forward, not daring to look at the expression on Qiu Qingshan's face now. She was afraid she would fall apart.
"How to choose, you decide for yourself. I can only do this much. If you're willing to rise up in resistance, I would naturally be happy to help you, but if you still hold illusions about this cave master, then I have nothing more to say."
Chen Mo stood in front of Mu Qiuge and whispered.
It's unclear whether he was speaking to Mu Qiuge or Mu Lengyue, or both.
Mu Qiuge took a deep breath, then looked up with a cold face, "I know about the thousand-faced bee. It has been sealed within me for so many years. I've kept it buried deep in my heart, viewing it as the seed of sin."
"But even so, I will not hand it over to you, cave master. I will never listen to your words in the future."
Mu Qiuge's attitude was resolute, and she was no longer as soft as she once appeared.
Qiu Qingshan's smile froze on his face, "Very good, it seems that in these years you've been away from the Black Mountain Cave, your wings have grown rather hard. But, do you think just because you're unwilling to hand it over, I can't get it?"
As soon as the words were spoken, it was seen that Qiu Qingshan swept his hand, and suddenly, the lush weeds around them grew wildly, wrapping towards Chen Mo and the other two.
Followed closely by the trees and vines around them.
In an instant, Chen Mo and the others were bound by the sudden weeds, branches, and vines. They couldn't move an inch.
"This, this is a plant poisonous caterpillar, one of the most powerful poisonous caterpillars owned by the cave master... it's Qiu Qingshan... damn it, it must be that while we were talking just now, he secretly had his poisonous caterpillars on him act up..."
Mu Qiuge was instantly filled with regret. She knew Qiu Qingshan's tricks, yet she had still fallen for them.
Crack
Suddenly, the vines entangling Chen Mo and the others grew sharp thorns, piercing through their skin and causing blood to flow.
Qiu Qingshan coldly stared at Chen Mo and smiled, "It's all because of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had such a hard time getting the thousand-faced bee."
"Hah, you're so knowledgeable. If you were to live, it would be to my disadvantage."
Qiu Qingshan spoke, and suddenly the branches growing around them turned into sharp blades. They were about to stab at Chen Mo's chest.
"Cave master, don't..."
At this time, Mu Qiuge shouted in fear.
"Yes, that's right, that's the look on your face. Watching someone you are close to die right in front of you is the best nourishment for the thousand-faced bee."
Qiu Qingshan laughed coldly. Without waiting for Mu Qiuge to continue, countless branches surged towards Chen Mo, piercing his body in an instant.
The blood flowed uncontrollably.
The breath was becoming increasingly weak.
Mu Qiuge's pupils suddenly changed color...
