It says that Qingze went out with others half a year ago, and I don't know where he went. He has been missing for several months. I just checked his life tablet and found that it had long since extinguished. It seems he must have met with an accident outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changfeng said while taking out the old family genealogy of the Song family. When he turned to this page of the Qing generation, Song Qingming soon discovered that the three words \"Song Qingze\" next to his name had long since turned into a dim gray color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking at the letter, it doesn't say what happened to Third Brother or where he went. A sect disciple has been missing for so long, does the Carefree Sect not care about this matter anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changfeng sighed and said, \"Qingze has not yet established his foundation and has not left a soul lamp in the sect. I estimate that the Carefree Sect doesn't know he has had an accident yet. After all, there are many disciples in the Carefree Sect, and it is very normal for a Qi Refining stage disciple to be missing for several months without anyone paying attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming pondered for a moment and said softly, \"I have been in seclusion for a long time and want to go out for a walk. Tomorrow, I will go to the Carefree Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingming, I think we should not take the initiative to get involved now. Otherwise, let's send someone to the Carefree Sect's Law Enforcement Hall to clarify this matter first. With the strength of the Carefree Sect, as long as Qingze hadn't left the Wei Kingdom before the accident, they will definitely be able to find out soon.\" Hearing that Song Qingming intended to go to the Carefree Sect personally to inquire about Song Qingze's affairs, Song Changfeng hesitated slightly but still tried to stop him, feeling that there was no need to run to the Carefree Sect for this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Song Qingze was a member of the Song family, he chose to join the Carefree Sect and abandon the family back then. Over the years, he hadn't returned to Funiu Mountain many times, and most people in the Song family actually had many opinions about him in their hearts. Song Changfeng was also somewhat worried that Song Qingming would be too concerned about this matter, which would make others in the clan unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixth Uncle, although Third Brother went to the Carefree Sect, he is still a member of our Song family. It wouldn't be right for the family not to care about his accident, and it would also make juniors like Xinyu who joined the Carefree Sect feel cold towards the family, which is also unfavorable for the long-term development of the family. I still have a few familiar people in the Carefree Sect who can speak, so I should be able to clarify this matter soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingming, you really think further than I do. Then let's decide it this way. You can rest assured with me and Qingyu at home. Go early and return early, and be careful on the road.\" Seeing that Song Qingming had made up his mind, Song Changfeng didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement with his idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, in the Yangshan Market under Guyang Mountain, people were still as prosperous as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming sat in a restaurant, looking at the pleasant scenery of Guyang Mountain in the distance, and fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when he came to Yangshan Market to seek the opportunity for Foundation Establishment, he also had several experiences of drinking heavily with Third Brother Song Qingze in this restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than twenty years have passed, and he didn't expect this restaurant to still be in this state without any changes, but in Song Qingming's heart, things were already different. Even if he waited for a long time today, Third Brother Song Qingze would no longer come to this appointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Song Qingming was lost in endless deep thought, the anxious Song Xinyu hurried here. Seeing Song Qingming sitting at a table by the window drinking alone, he hurriedly walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nephew pays respects to Seventh Uncle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm! Seeing that your cultivation is about to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, you have been diligent these years. Sit down first!\" Song Qingming nodded with a smile, pointed to the chair next to him, picked up an empty cup from the side, filled it with spiritual wine, and signaled him to sit down and accompany him for a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Uncle, who is this cup of wine poured for?\" After the two drank a cup, Song Xinyu saw that there was still a wine cup filled with wine on the opposite side and asked with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was poured specifically for your Third Uncle!\" Song Qingming said seriously, then slowly raised his wine cup and drank another cup towards the direction of that cup of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For Third Uncle... Third Uncle, did he really have an accident?\" Hearing Song Qingming say this, Song Xinyu suddenly felt a trace of bad omen in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Qingze left, he had told him that he would return in at most two months. He didn't expect that it had been nearly half a year since he left without any news. Song Xinyu was a bit panicked. He didn't know many people in the Carefree Sect and couldn't find out about this matter, so he could only send a message to the family to mention this matter, asking the family to check if Third Uncle's life tablet was still safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Qingze was in the Song family back then, his talent and spirit were very high, and he didn't put Song Qingming and these brothers in his heart, which also led to his relationship with many cultivators in the family always being very average. Later, he abandoned the family and came to the Carefree Sect, which almost severed this layer of relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until after his Foundation Establishment failed that the frustrated Song Qingze finally remembered this family friendship again and had always been extra concerned about Song Xinyu, the junior who was later sent to the Carefree Sect by the Song family, which also kept the relationship between the uncle and nephew very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming nodded lightly and said, \"The family genealogy shows that your Third Uncle's life tablet has been extinguished for several months. Although that thing occasionally has mistakes, I have confirmed it with Sixth Uncle several times, and it shouldn't be wrong this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning the bad news that Third Uncle Song Qingze had an accident from Song Qingming's mouth, Song Xinyu, whose temperament had not yet fully matured, felt a world-shaking change in his heart. Being in the Carefree Sect, he was the person Song Qingze trusted most. Seeing that Song Qingze hadn't returned for so long, he had long suspected that Song Qingze might have had an accident and had been secretly worried for several months. Now that he finally confirmed this bad news, Song Xinyu still found it hard to accept this fact that he found most difficult to accept in his heart. Thinking of the exhortation before Song Qingze's departure, the tearful Song Xinyu's tears slowly overflowed his eyes and flowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Life and death are determined by fate, you don't have to be too sad. The top priority is to find a way to figure out where your Third Uncle went first. In case he was really harmed by someone, no matter what, we have to find a way to help him get justice back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Uncle, I also spent some time inquiring during this period. Third Uncle went to a place to explore with several senior brothers of the sect. I haven't found out where he went specifically, but I already know one of the people who went with him. It's just that this person disappeared with Third Uncle, and no one has returned to the sect until now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since he went out with others, it is estimated that it was not just the two of them. Later, you take me to the Carefree Sect Law Enforcement Hall, and I will directly report this matter to the Carefree Sect Law Enforcement Team, first asking them to come forward to check where your Third Uncle and the others went.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1454,"2026-06-14T03:09:35.509Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","00911ec04f3800bc0c062aa99a3f9a02bd768a56a28a10cdba6ee1e12dcb443f","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-264","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-262",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
