District Head of District 7

Qian Luo smiled slightly, without any panic of being exposed. Instead, she placed Sun Peilan's belongings in her slender and pale palm, their skin touching, warm and cold.

The warm palm belonged to Qianluo. Her temperature was that of a normal person, but for Sun Rushuang, who had not had close contact with anyone for a long time, the temperature was frighteningly hot, as if a piece of ice touched a flame and would turn into soft water in an instant.

The fire burned from her palms to her arms, and then ran along her shoulders and neck into her heart, burning her internal organs and making her skin red. Her snow-white skin turned pink, and even her cheeks showed a hint of blush, as if she had put on rouge, and her face was as red as a peach blossom.

It had been a long time since anyone had held her hands. She was as dry as a dead flower, withering from the roots to the petals, having lost all moisture.

However, the girl in front of him not only brought her mother's relics but also brought the warmth of humanity.

The temperature of the body and the temperature of the soul.

The girl was expressing her kindness to Li Yuanyuan with her eyes, and she could see the tenderness and comfort in the girl's eyes.

This was the love she hadn't felt.

There is a feeling of being away for a long time.

She was being loved, not the demanding and hypocritical love that Chen Ziqiu had, but pure love, unrequited love, the love between family and friends.

She took a step back, clutching her chest to calm her pounding heart. She lowered her head slightly, drooping her eyelashes, holding the eyepatch, and muttered to herself, "Why is it an eyepatch?"

Then she thought of something, looked up at the girl, and took a big step forward: "Is... Mommy hurt!"

"How is she?"

Her expression was so anxious and urgent, her eyes widened, and she pulled the girl's arm and hurriedly said, "Why doesn't she do it herself? What on earth is she..."

Her voice grew softer and softer. She shook her head, took a step back, and sat weakly on the edge of the bed. Her black hair covered half of her face. She lowered her head, not daring to ask in detail, for fear of hearing the words she least wanted to hear.

Qianluo also knew how to respond to her. Should she tell her the truth or make up a white lie?

Just when he didn't know how to reply, there was a hurried knock on the door: "Li Yuanyuan, are you okay? It's raining, why don't you go back quickly!"

Qian Luo raised her eyebrows and almost forgot the time. She glanced at the food next to her and immediately stepped forward to smash the bowl and chopsticks, making a crisp sound!

All I heard was a "pop" and then an angry quarrel.

"Sun Rushuang! That's too much! I don't want to serve you. What's the point? I asked you to eat in a nice way, and you actually blamed me!"

"go out!!!"

"Just get out! Who wants to stay in a place like yours where there's no sunlight?"

Meng Ming, who was outside the door, was still wondering why Li Yuanyuan had been in there for a long time without making any sound.

Didn’t we agree to just drop off our things and leave?

He felt something was wrong and heard the sound of quarreling. He listened carefully for a long time and then saw Li Yuanyuan rushing out, puffing out her cheeks and looking at them with both eyes and nose.

"What are you looking at? Didn't you see the woman lose her temper?"

Okay! Take out your anger on them!

No one dared to say anything, because an angry woman is hard to appease.

Li Yuanyuan was watching the incessant drizzle, soaking her shoes, socks, and dress. Her pretty face flushed with anger, and she cursed, "Why am I so unlucky today? I'm so unlucky to be Sun Rushuang's maid!"

The last sentence was obviously said to the person inside the door. After she finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and ran away lightly, like a fluttering green butterfly, full of energy and hope.

…

Meng Ming glanced at the girl's departing back and wondered, "Am I mistaken? Li Yuanyuan is clearly not right today. She's different from usual, but I can't put my finger on what's different!"

Zhang Su poked him. "I also think Li Yuanyuan is different today, but Sun Rushuang is here! Don't overthink it. Sun Rushuang only has one mother. Who else is going to save her?"

"Yeah..." He chuckled and glanced inside the door.

A sudden feeling of sadness welled up in my heart. The poor woman didn't even know that her mother was suffering humiliation in the District 9 mine. She might have died at this moment.

Meng Ming also has a younger sister who is only a few years younger than Sun Rushuang. His heart aches when he thinks about his sister encountering an accident one day.

"Brother Meng Ming, what are you thinking about?"

"I'll change shifts soon. Let's go drink and eat meat?"

Zhang Su and Zhao Zheng were chatting back and forth, planning to have a feast after get off work, but Meng Ming felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what.

It may be the influence of today's weather, or it may be that Li Yuanyuan is very different today.

The raindrops under the eaves splashed water, wetting the soles of their shoes. Soon, it rained heavily and the wind was blowing violently.

Zhang Su and Zhao Zheng curled their lips, feeling annoyed by the weather. "What kind of weather is this? It's windy and rainy. Now I can't drink wine or eat meat. I was thinking of going to Baiweilou to try some new monster meat."

"Forget it, forget it. Let's drink some wine to warm ourselves up after the rain." Zhang Su handed the gourd to Meng Ming and shook it. "Captain, do you want some Qiu Lubai?"

Meng Ming was hiding from the rain under the eaves. Because he was thinking about something, the heavy rain and strong wind soaked half of his body. His clothes were wet and wrinkled, and they felt heavy on his body.

He thanked Zhang Su, took the wine gourd, and drank it in one gulp. The mellow wine went down his throat, the aroma lingering, a hint of crispness, a hint of warmth, making him feel relaxed and refreshed. "Great!"

Qiulubai is a specialty wine from District 7. The wine is mixed with spiritual spring water, which contains spiritual energy. It is neither strong nor sweet, and tastes just right, and is widely acclaimed.

Especially the spiritual spring in the wine. I heard that it was accidentally discovered by District Chief Chen Ziqiu and was specially opened to everyone for use. Every household has a pot of spiritual spring water to nourish the body and increase cultivation. It couldn't be better.

They are going to hold the Lingquan Festival in a few days, which is a good day. His sister Meng Yuanxiang will also participate. When he thought of his sister, his eyes suddenly softened.

"Great wine!" After Meng Ming drank it, the wine went down his throat and his body felt much warmer. "It's my treat tonight. Let's go to Baiweilou for a meal!"

"Okay, Captain!"

Zhang Su put away his wine gourd and laughed, "Captain, are you no longer sentimental after drinking?"

Meng Ming looked puzzled: "Is there?"

What did he just do?

Huh? He actually felt sorry for Sun Rushuang just now?

That's strange!

"Not only that, you were making such a fuss just now. Did you think Li Yuanyuan was some kind of spy?"

"Oh no! It's not a big deal. You've been obsessed with your cultivation lately, haven't you? Tonight is a good night for us to relax!"

The two of them took turns speaking. Meng Ming didn't hesitate and chatted with his teammates, waiting for the sunny day after the heavy rain.

——

The sound of rain gradually became smaller, but it was still dripping. Spring rain was as precious as oil, nourishing all things. The spider webs in the secluded corners were covered with round raindrops, and there was a smell of moist grass in the air.

Chen Ziqiu walked on the bluestone slabs, wearing a long blue gown, which made him look as gentle as jade, like a modest gentleman.

He was holding an oil-paper umbrella. Tired from practicing, he went out for a walk, enjoying the drizzling spring rain, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps not far away. The person stepped into a puddle with every step, splashing water everywhere, and his breathing became rapid as he walked.

The elder behind him frowned: "Who is so unruly in the palace?"

Chen Ziqiu raised his eyebrows: "Maybe there is something important."

The elder chuckled and bowed, "District Chief is always considerate of the people and lenient towards them."

Qian Luo pretended to be angry and ran away, but in fact she had agreed with Sun Rushuang to pick her up three days later. As for her mother's matter, they would talk about it later.

She was afraid that if she told Sun Rushuang now, she would be greatly shocked and would not want to leave District 7 with her, but would instead seek death.

As she walked and thought, she forgot to slow down. One of her steps dipped into the water, soaking half her hem. The path here was winding and she couldn't remember where she had left Li Yuanyuan and Ye Zi. She searched for a long time but couldn't find them.

"Forget it, I'll find a place to rest for a while."

Wait for the opportunity.

Sun Rushuang had decided on the three-day deadline. Every year on Grain Rain Day, Chen Ziqiu would lead the people of District 7 to Lingquan Mountain to worship, hoping for a continuous flow of spiritual springs to bless everyone in the coming year.

Lingquan Mountain is the most important mountain range in District 7 because there is a spiritual spring on the mountain. The spiritual spring contains spiritual energy that can strengthen the body. Bathers can be reborn and improve their cultivation.

In addition to offering sacrifices to Lingquan Mountain every year, three students with the best academic performance from Qiuyu College and Dongshuang College are selected to take a Lingquan bath.

This is the biggest event in District 7, so the day of Grain Rain is also called Lingquan Festival.

As for, why is it Guyu?

It is said that when this spiritual spring was discovered, that day was Grain Rain, so every year on Grain Rain people would worship the spiritual spring, bathe in the spiritual spring, and drink the spiritual spring wine - Qiulubai.

"I haven't heard of this spiritual spring before in the simulation. Could it be that I died too quickly?"

Qianluo was muttering as she walked, and accidentally bumped into someone, her forehead hitting the hard chest. A man's low laughter came from above her head.

The elder scolded: "Which palace are you from? Why are you walking so recklessly?"

The man smiled gently: "The little girl just came in and doesn't know the way. It's normal for her to get into trouble. Don't make it too difficult for her."

Qian Luo lowered her head and whispered, "I'm Li Yuanyuan, and I'm here to deliver food to Miss Sun Rushuang..."

The man fell silent, but Qianluo's hair stood on end, as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake. Even though she had the Spirit Feather Ring, which could conceal her cultivation and change her appearance, she wasn't sure if this man would recognize her. His eyes seemed to see through everything, making her feel terrified.

She stared at the soles of the man's shoes, which were embroidered with verdant bamboo. His clothes were also of ancient style. The dark patterns on the clothes and the satin of the storage bag were all green, cyan, and blue, elegant colors.

This person's aesthetic taste is similar to hers...

However, she couldn't see through his cultivation, which meant that the person in front of her was...

The man's voice was as clear and sweet as spring water: "Lift your head."

There was not a trace of majesty in his expression, completely different from the aura he had just used when he looked at her.

Qianluo concealed the emotions in her eyes, raised her head slightly, revealing Li Yuanyuan's rosy little face. Her cheeks were still stained with spring rain, moist, soft, and lively. Even with her eyes lowered, one could feel her fear and nervousness.

"Is it Yuanyuan?"

The person in front of her suddenly grew larger, and a young and handsome face appeared in Qianluo's eyes. His eyebrows were neither thick nor thin, with just the right curvature and length, making his face look particularly handsome.

The most captivating thing should be his eyes, bright and warm, with a gentle smile, just like the spring rain, moist and fragrant, which can nourish a woman's dry heart.

So, his eyes are very charming, not to the point of being alluring and breathtaking, but once you see his eyes, your heart always softens and you can't help but fall for his tenderness.

He has fair skin and handsome features. From the outside, he looks to be around 25 years old and his actual age is impossible to tell.

However, Qianluo knew that the person in front of her was over 100 years old.

Chen Ziqiu, the head of District 7, has reached the great perfection of foundation building and is her enemy.

I didn't expect to meet you in such a scene.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziqiu smiled lightly and tilted the oil-paper umbrella gently. The raindrops fell on him. If it were any other girl, she would definitely fall for his gentleness and thoughtfulness.

A pair of men and women, both wearing green clothes, the woman is pretty and the man is handsome, anyone who sees them would think they are a perfect match, made in heaven.

At this moment, both of them had their own thoughts in mind.

Qian Luo stroked the silver ring, wondering: He saw her fall into his arms, but he didn't stop her. Was he doing it on purpose? Could he have seen through her?

Then he denied it, it was impossible, the Lingyu Ring was a high-level magic weapon, how could it be easily discovered?

His eyes are so strange, is he practicing pupil magic?

Chen Ziqiu looked down at the shy girl, his smile gradually disappeared, his eyes turned cold, flashing with a blue light, which disappeared in a flash.

They clearly had the same cultivation level and the same appearance. Why did he always feel that the person before him was not the Li Yuanyuan he had met before?

He looked at the girl before him, feeling a sense of being out of control, making him feel very uncomfortable. She was too lively and agile, which was not the place for his palace.

He bent down slightly, revealing eyes full of warmth, and said softly, "Yuanyuan, isn't it tiring for you to serve Rushuang?"

The girl tugged at her clothes and said, "No, how could it be hard? No matter how hard it is, as long as I can see the district chief every day, I will be very happy."

Li Yuanyuan should like Chen Ziqiu. It is normal for a little girl to admire the district chief, so her answer should be correct.

Hearing her answer, Chen Ziqiu simply raised an eyebrow, as if this answer was barely acceptable, and continued to ask, "Has Rushuang given you any trouble recently?"

Qian Luo answered stiffly, "No, Sun... Miss Rushuang may look cold, but she won't make things difficult for Ye Zi and me. Ye Zi and I are keeping each other company here, and we have a good relationship. Ye Zi... also admires me very much..." After saying that, she quietly raised her head and glanced at the young man, then lowered her head shyly.

As expected, the young man was a little proud and suppressed his doubts: "Okay, go and do your job."

Qian Luo breathed a sigh of relief, stepped aside, and let the district chief go first. Then she walked on her own, still feeling someone following her. If she activated her spiritual sense now, she would be exposed!

Suddenly, two forks in the road appeared before her, and every nerve in her body was on edge because she didn't know the way at all!

Chen Ziqiu and the elder did not leave. They stopped to see which path she would choose.

The little girl who suddenly appeared in the rain, even if she had Li Yuanyuan's face and cultivation, her answer revealed nervousness and unnaturalness, which is worthy of suspicion, isn't it?

The venomous snake behind her stared at the girl, its eyes glowing green. It seemed that if she made a wrong choice, its venomous tongue would pounce on her, bite her neck, and suck her blood and eat her flesh.

[This simulation consumes 200 points. 1 simulation opportunity is left, with 200 points remaining.]

Start simulation

At the age of 20, you met Chen Ziqiu by chance. He didn't dare to act rashly. Under his gaze, you chose the left path.

[You made the wrong choice. The district chief who has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the district chief who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training will join forces to kill you.]

【You unfortunately passed away.】

[Simulation ends…]

Since the road on the left is wrong, why not choose the road on the right?

Qianluo was delighted, but just as she was about to take a step forward, she paused.

No! She couldn't act without complete confidence! She couldn't defeat Chen Ziqiu right now!

Simulate again! She has one more chance to simulate!

[This simulation consumed 200 points, 0 simulation opportunities remaining, and 0 points remaining.]

At the age of 20, you met Chen Ziqiu by chance. He didn't dare to act rashly. Under his watchful gaze, you chose the right path.

[You made the wrong choice. The district chief who has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the district chief who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training will join forces to kill you.]

【You unfortunately passed away.】

[Simulation ends…]

Sure enough, neither the left nor the right is right!

It should be that Li Yuanyuan doesn't usually go to these places. Since Li Yuanyuan works here, she goes to four places every day: Sun Rushuang's mansion, the cafeteria, the dormitory, and the main gate.

【Congratulations to the host, recharge successful! 】

[This recharge is 1000 points, a total of 1000 points, and 5 simulations are left! ]

[This simulation consumes 200 points. There are 4 simulation opportunities left, and 800 points remaining.]

Start simulation

At 20, you ran into Chen Ziqiu by chance. Not daring to act rashly, you pretended to drop something and turned back under his gaze.

You left the District Chief's Palace safely, awaiting the Grain Rain three days later.

[The three-day deadline has arrived, but you haven't found Sun Rushuang in the palace.]

[After the Grain Rain, Chen Ziqiu's Dan-forming Thunder Tribulation arrived.]

[You were struck by lightning and unfortunately passed away.]

[Simulation ends…]

Finally made the right choice!

But why did Chen Ziqiu’s thunder tribulation come earlier?

Shouldn't it take him a few years to form a pill?

Where did Sun Rushuang go again?

The simulation was repeated again and again, but because of her interference, like a butterfly flapping its wings, the ending of the simulation was changed.

There is another question, why does Chen Ziqiu's thunder tribulation always bother her!
