Chapter 58 As expected of the students I trained.
Xiao Jingrui reacted even faster; he bent his knees and knelt down cleanly and efficiently!
Their movements were fluid and skillful, almost painful to watch.
What's even more amazing is that as he knelt down, he grabbed Wan Qianqiu's waist with both hands with extreme precision and speed.
"Senior Brother!"
Xiao Jingrui suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Wan Qianqiu, his voice so powerful it could bring tears to anyone's eyes: "You ran away once before, are you planning to leave me to carry this burden alone again?!"
"Are you even human?!"
"Even a beast's blood is hotter than yours!"
That accusation, that look, that intensity... shattered Wan Qianqiu's meager conscience to pieces.
Wan Qianqiu stumbled from his embrace and almost knelt down as well. He frantically tried to pry Xiao Jingrui's hands off his waist while urgently retorting in a low voice.
“RuiRui, it’s not that I’m not loyal, but look at Xie Linyuan’s condition. He’s already crazy enough, and now he’s in this state. If we just stand here, how are we supposed to survive?!”
He struggled to pry open one of Xiao Jingrui's fingers, catching his breath: "How about... if it really comes down to it... I'll take you with me? Okay, let's forget about this order!"
Upon hearing the word "run," Xiao Jingrui's sorrowful and bitter expression instantly turned into a furious glare of disappointment, and he hugged her even tighter.
"Run? I'm still refining the Nine-Turn Spirit Condensation Pill in my alchemy room. I'm counting on this batch to break through the Golden Core Great Perfection stage that has been holding me back for more than three years. Even if I die, I'll die next to the alchemy furnace!"
Wan Qianqiu rolled his eyes as he was being squeezed so tightly. He pressed his throbbing temples, thinking of Xie Linyuan who was clearly immersed in a tragic drama, and then looked at his junior brother in his arms who cherished pills like his life. Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in his slender phoenix eyes.
"Rui Rui".
Wan Qianqiu lowered her voice even further, with a hint of desperate determination: "Since you can't leave... then how about we try a different approach?"
"you mean……"
Xiao Jingrui was taken aback, his hand that was reaching for Qianqiu's waist stopped. He glanced in the direction of Xie Linyuan's cave and said in a very low voice, "But someone like him? Where do we send him? Who would want him?"
Wan Qianqiu's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Are you stupid? Didn't Zhao Zhao say in a telepathic message that she's going to Yuntai Immortal Market in Liuyunchuan?"
"That place is a melting pot; all sorts of people come and go."
"As her senior brothers, how could we feel comfortable letting a young girl like her go to a place like that by herself?"
Wan Qianqiu glanced at the lonely figure at the door, and her true colors finally came out: "Ahem, although we don't know why that idiot was sent back by Zhao Zhao, we don't care. We'll just morally blackmail him, mentally control him, and verbally abuse him!"
"Anyway, let's go all out and make sure Zhaozhao is in danger, being bullied, or all alone!"
"Besides, look at his worthless character, you can tell he definitely didn't come back voluntarily. He just needs an excuse. Let's give him that excuse now, and he'll be all over him."
Xiao Jingrui's eyes widened as he listened.
But he remained silent for only three breaths before the shock in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by a resolute light that said, "I'd rather die than let my friend die."
He slowly released his arms from around Qianqiu's waist, and then—
"Smack!"
Two hands clapping firmly in mid-air!
The two exchanged a glance, and in each other's eyes they saw the same wolfish ambition, shining with the same gleam.
Dry!
...
A few days later.
Liuyunchuan.
The name was truly authentic; the moment she stepped into the area, Shen Zhaozhao was almost knocked off her feet by the overwhelming heat and noise.
Above them, cultivators riding all sorts of strange and wonderful spirit beasts roared past, and every now and then one could hear passionate shouting matches caused by "air traffic accidents".
"Hey you stupid bird up there, are your eyes on your ass?! You think you can afford to pay for the damage to my flying shuttle?!"
"Pah! You dare call your broken shuttle a flying shuttle? It doesn't even fly as fast as my Ah Hua!"
The situation on the ground is even more alarming.
The streets were packed with stalls that had been set up on both sides.
Next to the stall selling talismans was the stall selling pills, and next to the stall selling magical artifacts was the stall selling spirit beast feed; each stall's shouts were louder than the last.
"Fellow Daoist! This bottle of Body Tempering Pills is absolutely fresh out of the oven! It's still warm!"
"Hot my ass! Do you think I'm blind? It's covered in so much dust it's practically patina. Give me a discount!"
"Oh my, fairy! Look at this dazzling defensive jade pendant! Wear it, and you'll outshine everyone else..."
"Come on, last time I bought that so-called 'life-saving talisman' from you, it got ripped to pieces by a monster's claw. Give me my money back!"
Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath, feeling as if every pore on her body was opening up.
This place is simply paradise tailor-made for her!
Just then, a notification sound suddenly popped into Shen Zhaozhao's mind.
【bite--】
[System settlement in progress...]
[A sect member has been detected to have committed an immoral act. Reward: 1000 Immorality Points!]
[Current Morality Points Balance: 15,000 points!]
Shen Zhaozhao: "!"
1000 points?
Was it done by a member of the sect?
Who else could it be?
It must be her second senior brother!
Shen Zhaozhao hissed with great satisfaction, her eyes filled with the pride of "As expected of the students I trained."
"Chief, did you see that?"
She smugly boasted to the system, "Look at my second senior brother's efficiency and execution! His 'morality value' has increased so rapidly; it must be because my 'Sword Cultivator Anti-Addiction Pill' idea was so brilliant that he's already started reaping the rewards like crazy!"
The system, unusually, didn't respond, but instead silently typed out a string of "..." with a hint of compassion, to express its sympathy.
It simply couldn't bear to expose the cruel truth—those 1000 points of depravity were probably sent to you by your two senior brothers to trick you, all in order to package up their own tragic figure...
【cough. 】
The system coughed lightly, abruptly and quickly changing the subject: [This is a rare opportunity. Host, would you consider using 10,000 points of "misdeeds value" to exchange for 'Lucky Charm - Luck Can't Save You, Pay-to-Win - Gacha Pool'?]
With Xie Linyuan, that madman who could act up at any moment, gone and having gained 1000 points of wickedness for free, Shen Zhaozhao was in a wonderful mood. She waved her hand and said with great pride, "Who would complain about having too many cheat codes? Let's get a new one!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Zhaozhao felt a slight coolness on her right thumb. Looking down, she saw a translucent amethyst thumb ring, its interior seemingly flowing with nebulae, already firmly placed on her thumb.
【bite--】
[The summoning pool is now active!]
[Friendly reminder: This system always adheres to the supreme service philosophy of "the customer is God" and attaches great importance to user experience, therefore—]
