Chapter 122

Chen Zui walked a little further away and hid behind a wooden stake, observing the store. There was no emotion in his dark eyes. In addition to the boss and two waiters, there were two bodyguards in charge of guarding. These two people were cultivators, and both of them had swords on their waists. Chen Zui couldn't tell what level they were, but now he was at the lowest level in this cultivation level and was just getting started.

I may not be able to beat those two people.

He observed and thought about feasible plans, and occasionally his eyes fell on the fat boss who was talking nonsense to him, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

The invisible Wang Qianqiu looked at his doll with half of its head exposed behind the pillar.

It is completely different from when it is in front of you. When it is in front of you, it is a spoiled and mischievous cat. It will pretend to open its paws casually. You think it is stretching, but no, it is showing you its pink pads to seduce you. Occasionally, it will call out in a pinched throat, and all it thinks in its heart is, you must be fascinated by me, too.

But outside, his puppet is in a different state, ready to strike with an indifference that keeps strangers away, and extremely dangerous hidden in its caution.

To Wang Qianqiu, each has its own charm.

Then he turned his attention to the other two cultivators who were not far from Chen Zui. The two of them glanced at Chen Zui from time to time, obviously observing and following him.

His puppets don't have any enemies. If they do, they are his junior brothers, who are indeed capable of sending people to harm him.

In addition, there is another possibility, that is, these two people saw that the eldest was outstanding in appearance and wanted to capture him and sell him or make him their plaything.

He looked at Chen Zui again.

unwise.

When he goes down the mountain, he should be cast with a facial illusion spell so that everyone who sees him will see an ordinary face, unlike now which only covers the mark between his eyebrows.

But Wang Qianqiu quickly denied his idea. At this time, the wind happened to blow the ends of Chen Zui's hair, and a strand of long black hair gently brushed in front of his eyes, and he raised his hand to smooth it down.

It would be a pity to cover up such a face.

There is no such word as "face control" in this world, but Wang Qianqiu is obviously obsessed with Chen Zui's face. She has not yet realized that she loves Chen Zui's face so much and regards it as the most precious treasure in the world.

Mo Xingchen, who followed, was farther away. With so many people coming and going here, it wasn't a good time for the two of them to take action. But why did the puppet stay here?

Night falls and the lights come on.

Chen Zui sat behind the wooden pillar, his hands resting on his legs and his chin supporting his head, looking at the rows of lanterns lit above his head. The light from the lanterns cast a warm hue on his face.

It also amazed a certain person named Wang who did not want to reveal his name.

The hustle and bustle lasted until the late night, when every shop began to close. Chen Zui watched as the two assistants and the boss left, leaving only the two cultivators.

Chen Zui also stood up, patted his butt and swept the dust.

He did not go to the store but followed the boss. The boss and the waiter walked in the same direction, chatting about today's customers. During the day, they were warm and flattering to the customers, but now they were either cursing this or criticizing that.

The boss still remembered Chen Zui: "I made a mistake today. I should have kept that good-looking poor guy."

"Boss, why do you keep him here?"

"I haven't heard that you like this."

The boss paused at the man who was talking: "What nonsense! I asked him to attract customers for me. If he stands at my door, he will attract more people."

As expected of a boss, his mind is full of how to make money.

The two guys chuckled and said, "We'll attract a lot of attention if we just stand there."

Boss: "Yeah, it's quite annoying."

Chen Zui covered his face and appeared silently behind the fat boss. He swung his long legs and kicked the man away, at least two meters away. This was when Chen Zui didn't use his full strength.

He loves to practice.

If he didn't have the mission, he would definitely put more attention on cultivation because it would be so boring to talk about love in such a world.

Once you become strong, you can love whoever you want.

The fat boss fell to the ground and groaned. The two employees screamed in surprise. One ran towards the boss who couldn't get up, while the other looked at Chen Zui, nervous and scared: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

Chen Zui walked towards the boss.

The guy hesitated for a moment and finally mustered up the courage to stop Chen Zui. However, before he reached Chen Zui and Chen Zui didn't move, he threw himself backwards and flew far away.

If you don't know, you might really think he was injured by some internal force.

After falling to the ground, he said, "You are not allowed to hurt the boss."

Aotian: [I can act better than you.]

Aotian: [Commentary.]

Chen Zui ignored the waiter and went to the boss who had just been helped up. The boss was so scared that his chin was trembling: "Don't do anything rash. There are laws in Weidu City! I..."

Chen Zui pulled away the guy who was blocking him. The guy was also an adult male, and he was thrown aside in his hand like a chicken.

He has never been a good-tempered person. If others bully him a little, he will always return it tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Be fierce.

Be ruthless.

Let others know that you are not someone to be bullied.

This was the truth he figured out on his own that allowed him to survive as a child.

The boss swallowed and stepped back.

Chen Zui punched him in the face. The boss, who fell to the ground with a bloody nose, looked at the guy who was thrown away and said, "Go back and call for help!"

Chen Zui silently raised the corners of his lips.

He let the waiter run back and kicked the boss several times. He only let the boss go after he was sure that the waiter could no longer hear his orders.

He turned and ran into the next street.

The two cultivators following him were not in a hurry to attack. They were a little curious about what he was going to do. Killing him was just a matter of one sword. Since they were going to take his life, they let him do what he wanted.

It's also compassionate.

The guy ran back to the store yelling and calling for help. The two bodyguards originally wanted to send one of them out.

The clerk ran with sweat on his forehead: "That man is very powerful. If he fails, the boss's life is at stake!"

After he said this, the two bodyguards didn't say anything else and asked him to stay to watch the store. They then flew away on their swords and disappeared in an instant.

The guy sat at the door, catching his breath and cooling off the sweat.

After a while, a pair of feet slowly appeared in front of him. He raised his eyes, and it took him a long time to see the legs up to the top. Only when he tilted his head back could he see them clearly.

After seeing it clearly, I was stunned and dumbfounded.

Chen Zui extended his hand to him.

Guy: I’m going to be thrown away again…

The waiter was thrown out by Chen Zui again. Chen Zui went into the store and stood in front of the cage where Tianma was held.

Aotian: [Don’t you like that bat? ]

Chen Zui didn't answer him, but just cut the chain of the cage without any hurry, slowly led Tianma out of the cage, and came to the door of the store.

The two cultivators also realized that he had gone through such a long circle just to steal the exotic beast.

It's really... a waste of their mercy.

The two men appeared on the street in front of the store, blocking Chen Zui who had just walked out of the store. Before they could say their usual opening words, Chen Zui had already run in front of them leading Tianma.

He handed the chain in his hand to one of them and shouted, "The rest is up to you."

His actions stunned the two of them.

Chen Zui turned around and ran away.

They subconsciously wanted to take action to detain the person, but Jian Feng attacked them first. They could only give up attacking Chen Zui temporarily and turned around to protect themselves. Then they saw the two bodyguards coming back at the end of their sight.

The boss, who was being held by them, was still shouting, "You little thief! How dare you steal my things and hit me! I'll make sure you pay for it!"

The two cultivators who came to kill Chen Zui: Little thief? Them?

One of them explained: "We are not..."

Boss: "I heard everything! Call me!"

The boss, who had been beaten up, had gone into a rampage.

The two groups started fighting. The people who came to kill Chen Zui were not clay men without temper. It should be said that no one who took on such a job had a good temper.

Chen Zui was watching from a distance. He had already noticed the two people following him. As a mercenary, he was very familiar with tracking and being followed.

The two bodyguards in the store deliberately moved the battle far away to prevent the store from being damaged.

One waiter supported the boss, and another waiter led the Pegasus back. When the four cultivators fought in the distant sky, Chen Zui climbed over the wall and entered the yard again.

He ran into the guy who was leading Tianma back, the one who had lost Tianma twice.

The other party was stunned and even suspected that he had encountered a ghost.

As soon as Chen Zui raised his hand, he threw himself to the side.

Chen Zui: ...

This time, Chen Zui cut off the cage containing the bat. The bat lazily opened its red eyes, and the man and the beast's eyes met.

The bat suddenly raised its head and moved closer to Chen, while opening its mouth and making a threatening sound.

The momentum is amazing.

But Chen Zui didn't move at all.

The bat stopped shouting and stared at Chen Zui. After Chen Zui cut the chain around his neck, he cooperated and walked out of the cage.

The guy who lost himself had already rolled to the door: "Boss! That little thief is here again!"

The boss looked back in shock. Under the starry night sky, the only black bat in his shop spread its wings and flew high into the sky, and on its back stood the thief who had beaten him up.

The boss was so angry that his heart ached.

For a moment, he even forgot to call the two cultivators back. He slowly stood up and stared at the little thief. The little thief also looked at him arrogantly with his eyes downcast.

When he was about to lose sight of the other person, the other person was so bold as to take off his mask provocatively.

Then he saw the face that he could not forget, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. In those dark eyes, all living beings were playthings.

The boss felt dizzy and swayed unsteadily.

The black bat took Chen Zui and flew away.

Leaving behind the boss roaring hysterically: "Call the man back! Catch him for me!"

He couldn't just call people back whenever he wanted. The two people who came to assassinate Chen Zui were furious after being beaten, and now they were ready to fight to the death.

Wang Qianqiu looked at the unrestrained and romantic figure on the back of the black bat flying away.

A light chuckle.

Killing someone is not enough, but also destroying their heart.

What a little rascal.

Mo Xingchen frowned in the other direction. Who is looking for such a useless person?

Liu Feiyun, who had originally come down the mountain to get rid of Chen Zui, was now drunk and fast asleep in a restaurant, even talking in his sleep: "Junior brother, you smell so good——"

——

The two men who wanted to assassinate Chen Zui were injured and walked towards an inn with gloomy faces.

The battle ultimately ended in a life-or-death struggle, as the attackers were stopped by the city's security team, and the target of the assassination disappeared without a trace.

They can only report the news to their employers first.

The two went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Meng Changqing, who was waiting for good news, knew that the matter had not been accomplished when he saw the two of them like this.

He was quite surprised. After all, the other party was just a puppet that couldn't practice. Even with the eldest brother's spiritual whip, these two people could definitely kill him after a few whips.

The two men also felt embarrassed and didn't tell the truth, saying only: "He found help."

Meng Changqing: "Do you know where he is now?"

The two were silent.

Meng Changqing really wanted to call them trash, but he held back and just ended his cooperation with them.

The two men felt ashamed and left in shame.

When he was the only one left in the room, Meng Changqing slammed the table: "Waste!"

If he had known this, he would have done it himself.

The door was pushed open again. Hearing the voice, Meng Changqing turned around impatiently and said, "Who..."

The rest of the words fell silent, as if someone was strangling him and he could no longer make a sound. Panic replaced the impatience on his face and he turned around stiffly.

Wang Qianqiu walked in from outside.

Meng Changqing took a step back.

Wang Qianqiu took another step forward, and Meng Changqing, who had realized that he was exposed, knelt down in front of Wang Qianqiu.

"Big Brother."

He bowed his forehead to the ground with great respect.

Wang Qianqiu waved his hand and the door behind him closed.

He stopped two steps away from Meng Changqing, lowered his eyes and looked at his junior brothers who were respectfully standing in front of him. He thought that he had been very tolerant of them for the sake of being a fellow disciple, and had tolerated their thoughts without exposing them, saving their face.

It is true that kind people are often bullied.

It seems that it was my blind indulgence that allowed him to dare to attack my puppet.

"My puppet is not a disciple of the sect. I won't talk to you about the sect rules. I will give you a chance to fight me."

"Junior brother doesn't dare."

Meng Changqing's body bent even lower, almost completely touching the ground.

"Even if you don't fight back."

As Wang Qianqiu spoke, a whip appeared in his hand. He had made it using mithril to imitate a scorpion's tail. The whip had a total of 153 sections, including the retractable rings connecting the middle, and was extremely exquisite.

Unlike the Lingyuan Whip given to Chen Zui, which specifically damages the spiritual essence, this whip will cause actual physical damage when it hits a person.

He lowered his eyes to look at Meng Changqing who was kneeling on the ground, his tone still calm: "I will still take action."

As he finished speaking, he swung the whip in his hand, leaving a flesh-wrenching wound on Meng Changqing's back.

Meng Changqing's body trembled.

His clothes were torn and blood was constantly flowing out of the wounds.

Wang Qianqiu's expression did not change at all, and he did not let the matter go easily because of the other party's attitude.

"stand up."

"Hand back."

Meng Changqing: "Junior brother, I dare not."

Another whip formed an X on Meng Changqing's back, and the flesh at the junction of the wound was about to rot.

"I dare not."

"Why would you dare to hurt my puppet?"

Wang Qianqiu had no intention of showing mercy. Either he had followed him, or his puppet was smart.

Although there is a defense chain on his body, it does not mean that the person who wants to kill him is innocent.

"It's my fault, please forgive me!" Meng Changqing didn't have the heart to quibble at all. After hundreds of years, he had some understanding of the temperament of his eldest brother. The more he defended himself at this time, the worse it would be.

Another whip.

Sweat dripped from Meng Changqing's hair, and blood formed a pool under his body. Although there were only three lashes, each ring of the whip would open when it was lashed, digging into the flesh and taking away a piece of skin and flesh when it left.

Meng Changqing's back was in a terrible state, and the bones could even be seen in the deepest parts of the wound.

After three whips, Wang Qianqiu put away the whip.

"From now on, if he makes a mistake and the real culprit is not known, I will hold you responsible."

Meng Changqing raised his head in disbelief, his face covered in sweat, and his red eyes looked at Wang Qianqiu with complicated emotions.

This is not a threat at all.

This is a kind of protection for the puppet. Not only will it prevent you from attacking him in the future, but it will also prevent others from attacking him and protect him.

The elder brother's heart for him...

That's too much.

"Big Brother!"

"He's just a puppet!"

"I am your real-life junior apprentice brother!"

Meng Changqing, who had endured the whipping, could no longer pretend because he realized Wang Qianqiu's feelings.

He crawled on his knees, rubbing his own blood as he crawled towards Wang Qianqiu, wanting to hug his legs and ask for even a little bit of his love.

"Big Brother, do you really love him?"

Wang Qianqiu's pupils trembled slightly.

With a wave of his hand, his sleeves were filled with spiritual power and blew Meng Changqing away.

"presumptuous!"

Meng Changqing bumped into the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood. He covered his chest and looked at Wang Qianqiu, seeing the anger on his face. The eldest senior brother, who usually had no expression even when angry, was so obviously angry.

In his opinion, this was the humiliation and anger of being exposed.

It is one thing to speculate about this reality, and another to confirm it. He cannot accept it.

He can love Mo Xingchen, Liu Feiyun, Yu Hong, and anyone else in this world, but how can he love a doll!

The second brother who was the best at flattery and pushing others out was now stubborn and obstinate.

He roared, "He's just a puppet!"

"A heartless and emotionless puppet, is Big Brother going to fall in love with him? Big Brother, is he going to become a laughing stock in this world?"

Wang Qianqiu looked at the hysterical person, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his expression returning to normal.

"Foolish."

He dropped these two words and turned to walk towards the door.

Seeing him about to leave, Meng Changqing panicked again and stumbled over: "Big Brother, I was wrong..."

He stretched out his hand to grab, and was about to touch Wang Qianqiu, but the person in front of him used magic to disappear out of thin air.

Meng Changqing, who had caught nothing, fell to the ground with a thud, looking extremely embarrassed.

"I was wrong. I will never hurt him again..."

"Big Brother, please look at me again..."

The person lying on the ground slowly curled up into a ball, crying uncontrollably, tears streaming non-stop, and blood from the wound on his back also flowing non-stop.

"He's just a puppet..."

——

Chen Zui touched the black bat's back. It had very short fur and strong bones.

With it, the speed of their journey increased significantly and they flew out of the city.

Aotian: [Well done!]

Chen Zui: [Thank you for the compliment.]

Rumble——

It started to rain.

The black bat fell from the sky, lowered its head, and folded its wings inward to cover itself, completely ignoring Chen Zui's life or death.

Chen Zui, who was getting wet in the rain, looked at it and thought that this relationship needed to be maintained.

There were trees all around him, and he couldn't run under a tree to shelter from the rain, so he sat down next to the black bat.

Pour it.

Wash it clean.

Aotian: [The rain keeps falling, the atmosphere is not very harmonious——]

It sang with great devotion.

Chen Zui: [This sounds good.]

Aotian stopped immediately: [Really? ]

Chen Zui: [Of course it’s true. It’s just that such a beautiful voice would sound cheap if sung casually. I suggest saving it for important moments.]

Aotian felt that what he said made sense: [Okay, then I won’t sing for now.]

Chen Zui: Huh…

As soon as I finished asking this damn singing question, the rain on my head suddenly stopped.

Chen was most confused. Did the rain stop?

But there are still lines of rain falling in front of me.

He looked up, but couldn't see any rain falling on his head. He touched his head but felt nothing, but the rain stopped after it reached his head.

Chen Zui looked left and right, up and down.

ghost?

It is normal for there to be ghosts in the background of Xianxia.

Chen Zui was not afraid of his own guess. If someone was willing to shelter him from the rain, he must be a good ghost.

but--

Chen Zui rolled his eyes. Why would a ghost be nice to him for no reason? In this world, the only one who would be nice to him was...

Chen lowered his head, the corners of his lips curled up.

It turned out that he followed.

He pretended to let things take their course, as if he didn't understand but didn't know what to do. He leaned against the black bat, closed his eyes and prepared to rest.

Next to him, the invisible Wang Qianqiu held an oil-paper umbrella with tassels hanging from the ribs for him.

Not only was the rain blocked out, but even the wind mixed with moisture from the rain was blocked out.

He tilted his head, looked at his puppet, and recalled Meng Changqing's words in his mind.

Meng Changqing is a guy with a dirty mind. This is his puppet, so he naturally has to treat him well.

There is only love and romance in his head, and the relationship between him and his puppet is not that simple.

You don't even understand this and yet you dare to speak so arrogantly.

The rain gradually fell gently.

The umbrella never left Chen Zui's head, and Wang Qianqiu's gaze never left Chen Zui's face.

Occasionally his brows furrowed slightly.

It was all because of Meng Changqing’s nonsense, which made him always miss this clever puppet of his - do you understand what love is?

The rain stopped at daybreak.

Chen Zui opened his eyes and fell asleep peacefully because he knew who was beside him.

It was still a little blurry at the moment. A piece of green clothing appeared in my peripheral vision and then disappeared in an instant.

This is a night of protection for myself.

My heart feels warm.

He stood up and turned to look at Wang Qianqiu. Although he couldn't understand anything, he remembered the height of Wang Qianqiu when he was next to him.

He lowered his head a little.

Then, she pouted and leaned forward for a kiss.

"Beep."

The sound made Xuan Fu open his eyes. In his scarlet eyes, he could see the vague figure of Wang Qianqiu, who was wearing a green shirt and a white jade hairpin, and holding a dripping umbrella in his hand. Their lips touched for a moment, and the umbrella in Wang Qianqiu's hand shook, and the water droplets on the tip of the umbrella fell more and more rapidly.

Chen Zui raised his head.

He stretched himself, climbed onto the black bat's back, and patted it: "Let's go."

The black bat withdrew its gaze from Wang Qianqiu. It had never seen a human with such a red face.

Chen Zui walked for a long time before Wang Qianqiu turned and looked up into the sky.

This doll has no heart, only eyes.

This means I know I am following him.

But he couldn't break his own invisibility and expose himself. Not being able to expose himself was the same as not discovering him.

Wang Qianqiu followed.
