"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Bai Zilin was stunned for a moment, then a surge of anger rushed to her head: "If you dare to make me leave, I'll never forgive you."
"That's not what I meant." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said in a meaningful tone, "But there are some things you really shouldn't get involved in, lest you get yourself into trouble and end up needing me to help you."
Bai Zilin remained silent, staring at Ye Xingchen with a murderous gaze, then suddenly her eyes reddened, and she covered her face as she left.
Ye Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally managed to drive her away.
"You deliberately provoked her?" Su Ruochu asked with a smile in her eyes.
“Yes, it’s such a dangerous thing, why did she get involved?” Ye Xingchen sighed. “Chen Zhengyi is a madman now, he kills anyone he sees. Wouldn’t it be better for her to just be a police officer?”
"That's not the whole reason, is it?" Su Ruochu looked up and said, "You just want to make her angry. You can tell she likes you."
"Why bring this up?" Ye Xingchen said with a wry smile, "I don't want to provoke her."
"But you've already gotten yourself into trouble." Su Ruochu smiled faintly: "Sure enough, outstanding men are always surrounded by outstanding women."
"This young lady from the Bai family has served in the military for three generations, and her ancestor was a loyal and heroic figure. She is truly a model citizen with impeccable revolutionary credentials. Don't you want to consider her?"
"What are you doing?" Ye Xingchen asked, both amused and exasperated. "Are you just making yourself another enemy for no reason?"
"We already have so many, one more or one less doesn't matter." Su Ruochu said with a smile, "Alright, Miss Bai must still be upset about it, I'll go and talk to her."
"Oh, no need, she's always been strong-willed." Ye Xingchen quickly tried to call out to her, but Su Ruochu took a step forward and was already dozens of feet away.
Ye Xingchen shook his head helplessly, his expression bitter.
Bai Zilin ran to the car in one breath and hid inside, crying silently.
Only now did she realize that she had fallen deeply in love with Ye Xingchen. She didn't know when it started, but she had begun to care about Ye Xingchen's attitude.
She knew that Ye Xingchen had deliberately provoked her to keep her away from these things, but she couldn't accept his attitude.
As the eldest daughter of her family, although she wasn't born into a wealthy family, she had never experienced any setbacks from childhood to adulthood.
Moreover, she had no shortage of suitors, but she never dreamed that one day she would suffer such a big fall because of a man.
"Ye Xingchen, you're a bastard! I hate you! I'll never talk to you again!" Su Ruochu gritted her teeth, started the car, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, there was another person in the passenger seat. She was startled and, in a panic, stepped on the gas. The car engine roared loudly and then crashed into a wall.
Because she was too nervous, she floored the accelerator. At that speed, the car would have crashed and she would have been seriously injured.
Just as the car was about to crash into the wall, Bai Zilin screamed.
Su Ruochu, who appeared in the passenger seat, remained calm and composed. With a flick of her right hand, she formed a fingerprint.
A glimmer of light appeared, and a dark face suddenly appeared in front of the car.
This black lotus was the one she had obtained from Cheng Xinrui a few days ago; it contained a ruthless character from ancient times.
The black lotus itself is an ancient artifact. Su Ruochu has been reinforcing the seal these past few days and blessing it with Buddhist light, thus cultivating her natal lotus.
Several large golden characters suddenly appeared, the lotus slowly rotated, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The car, which was originally speeding along, slowed down at this moment.
But the car continued to approach little by little until a shimmering light rippled outwards.
Buzz... Bai Zilin felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, followed by a gradual brightening of her vision.
Thump, the car landed on all four wheels.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, panting heavily.
To her surprise, the car actually passed through the wall and arrived at the other side of the wall.
That scene just now felt like traveling through time.
Buddhist supernatural powers are accessible to all realms.
As Falian slowly disappeared, Su Ruochu smiled slightly and looked up at Bai Zilin, who was stunned.
She had just completed her cultivation, and could only unleash one-thousandth of the Black Lotus's power, but even so, it was still incredibly powerful.
"You, you." Bai Zilin looked at her, almost speechless.
"Don't get emotional, calm down." Su Ruochu smiled slightly at her.
Bai Zilin's adrenaline surged and her heart pounded for a moment, but under Su Ruochu's gaze, her emotions gradually calmed down.
Seeing her so ethereal and otherworldly, and then looking at her own disheveled state, Bai Zilin felt even more distressed: "Please excuse my appearance."
"Who hasn't had a bad time?" Su Ruochu's gentle voice came over: "When you stand up after being badly embarrassed, that's when you truly grow up."
Bai Zilin couldn't help but look at her: "You don't understand, I..."
"I understand." Su Ruochu smiled faintly, interrupting Su Ruochu: "You like him."
"Is it that obvious?" Bai Zilin covered her face, not daring to look Su Ruochu in the eye.
"You can't hide your feelings for someone, and I like him too." Su Ruochu's words were very frank, without any concealment.
“We are different, my cousin and him…” Bai Zilin brought this up, but didn’t know how to continue.
“It’s normal for outstanding men to be surrounded by many women,” Su Ruochu smiled slightly. “He is destined to be an extraordinary man.”
"So if you really fall in love with him, you can't judge him by worldly standards."
“I…have thought about that too.” Bai Zilin let go of his hand, and she began to face the problem seriously: “But there are just too many outstanding women around him.”
“I wanted to help him just now because I wanted to be a woman who could be of use to him, not just a pretty face who goes to him for help whenever she has a problem,” Bai Zilin said with a sigh.
“You are exceptionally talented, there’s no doubt about that, and you don’t need to deliberately help him, because your existence has its own value.” Su Ruochu smiled slightly.
“He doesn’t want you to do those things because they’re too dangerous. If you were in danger because of them, he would feel guilty.”
"You mean, he has feelings for me?" Bai Zilin was taken aback, then revealed a hint of smugness and shyness.
“Beautiful women always have an advantage. Don’t you think you’re pretty?” Su Ruochu smiled slightly. “If you want to help him, then help him in the way you are good at.”
"I'm good at catching thieves, but how can I help him with that?" Bai Zilin looked bewildered.
“You can’t interfere in his affairs with the Chen family, but the reason he’s fallen out with the Chen family like this is ultimately because of the Western Region,” Su Ruochu reminded him.
