Chapter 2: The strong aroma of tea
[Hello host, the Love Rescue Brain System is at your service]
[Ding, the primary love brain copy appears.
The heroine Du Shao gave up her qualification to enter a large sect for the sake of her childhood sweetheart fiancé and followed her fiancé into a small, second-rate sect. However, her fiancé abandoned Du Shao in order to get in touch with the sect leader's daughter for a foundation-building pill, and even allowed the jealous sect leader's daughter to bully Du Shao.
In the end, Du Shao was forced to do menial work because of insufficient cultivation resources. He became destitute and lonely, and never succeeded in building the foundation in his lifetime, and died of old age.
The man continued to persuade her and even grabbed the woman's hand to prevent her from leaving.
The green mountains are solemn and speechless.
The man here has already started to swear, "I swear, if you follow me into the small sect, I will definitely be with you for the rest of my life, and treat you well for the rest of my life. If you break this oath, I will definitely, definitely..."
"Will the five thunderbolts strike your head and kill all your descendants?"
A lazy voice came from the side, and both of them were startled at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice.
It turned out to be a sickly child in a blue shirt sitting on the ground.
The woman was stunned at first, but was soon attracted by the young but cold and outstanding face, and felt pity for him.
He is so beautiful, but unfortunately he is so weak that he can't even climb the ladder to heaven.
I'm afraid that even if one has excellent talent, it will be difficult to catch the attention of a major sect.
Lin Du chuckled and blinked innocently, "I saw that it says so in the script. Sister, you ask him to swear an oath, and when the thunder roars in broad daylight, the oath between heaven and earth will be fulfilled. The true love will be witnessed by heaven and earth. Brother really loves you."
"Oh, by the way, I must make it clear. Your name and this sister's name are the witnesses of heaven. We are partners, inseparable in life and death. If anyone abandons you, you will be punished by heaven."
She acted so frankly, as if she was simply offering advice, that the man was speechless.
If the cultivators swear an oath to heaven and earth, they will be destroyed by heavenly thunder if they break it one day.
The man forced a smile, "How can we make such a vow to the heavens casually? Children don't understand the seriousness of the matter. Ah Shao, let's go up first."
"A real man should stick to his word. Didn't you want to swear just now, but just wanted your sister to agree to you as soon as possible?"
Lin Du continued to speak at a leisurely pace, and because he was so young, even though every word he said was provocative, Du Shao still listened to it.
The palpitations came again, Lin Du frowned subconsciously and covered his heart, his slender hands tightly grasping the collar. Under the skin as thin as a cicada's wing, the muscles and bones were prominent due to the force, and he looked particularly pitiful.
She was gasping for air due to lack of oxygen and her face became paler.
"Are you okay?" Du Shao couldn't bear it and broke away from Li Dong's hand.
Lin Du cursed secretly in his heart, this body is really as fragile as cardboard, and he leaned his unsustainable body towards Du Shao.
"I'm fine. Sister is so nice."
The child was so thin that when he fell into Du Shao's arms, the hard and sharp bones on his body hurt.
Beautiful and fragile creatures always make people feel maternal, especially when the glass figurine looked up at her, its pair of black and white eyes flashed with gratitude, like some poor abandoned kitten.
Du Shao's heart softened. "You can't walk up by yourself. Can I help you?"
"Sister, you are so kind. Such a kind sister deserves the best man in the world to love you."
The system witnessed the whole process: a strong aroma of tea.
Lin Du's words were sincere. She could feel that Du Shao was truly soft-hearted and kind.
Nothing is more innocent than this.
She has been walking alone in the world for many years, so she can naturally feel whether someone is helping her sincerely or not.
Du Shao helped Lin Du up, and now the three of them were walking together.
Li Dong was somewhat dissatisfied. "Men and women should not be separated from each other. Besides, one can only rely on oneself to cultivate immortality. If you help him like this, isn't that cheating?"
"Besides, given his physical condition, I'm afraid no sect would want him. Going there would be torture."
Du Shao looked at her fiancé in surprise. She had never thought that her childhood sweetheart, whom she had known for many years, would be so cold. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Lin Du say, "I'm really sorry that you misunderstood me, brother. I'm a girl, but you're right. The path to immortality is a one-person journey."
She said this, pretending to break free, "Sister, please let go, or you will get angry with your brother. I was abandoned because I was born with a disease, and I was born lonely. You are the first person who has been kind to me. I hope you will be accepted into the family and be helped to rise to the top."
This made Lin Du stand up straight, and the wooden talisman on his waist swayed, revealing red-gold characters in front of Li Dong.
His face froze. The red-gold characters represented excellent qualifications for key recruitment. Even Du Shao's characters were only red, not red-gold.
This sickly kid is surprisingly so qualified.
Du Shao felt even more sympathetic after hearing about Lin Du's life story. "Li Dong, how can you say that? It's just a small effort. If we don't help, we will be wrong."
This ladder is not really a test, there is really no need to be so harsh.
What the three of them didn't know was that there were dozens of eyes watching this scene from the top of the mountain.
"He has pure ice spiritual roots and extraordinary talent, but unfortunately he is suffering from a disease that has spread to his lungs and blocked his heart vessels. He has talent but is a useless person who cannot cultivate. What a pity."
A steady voice sounded.
"I see that my son has such a clear understanding of the world with his eyes. He is only a teenager and yet he is so clear-sighted. It shows that his ice spirit root is truly extraordinary. He only needs to use medicine to clear his lungs and internal organs. It is not impossible to cultivate. However... I am afraid that no sect would dare to take the resources required."
Another gentle voice was heard, followed by a soft sigh, which seemed to express some regret.
The words from the clouds cannot reach the stone steps of the green hills. There is only the gentle breeze and the chirping of mountain birds.
"Don't worry about him. It's my own business to take you with me. Let's go. My name is Du Shao, Shao, which means peony."
She stretched out her hand and pulled Lin Du over. Her eyes and brows were gentle, not like a peony, but more like a peach in March.
Lin Du lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes, then raised them again calmly and spoke softly.
"Lin Du, my name is Lin Du, the one who ferry people across."
Du Shao supported her steadily, "What a good name."
The group of three moved slower than the others because there was a weak person in the middle.
In order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, Du Shao simply took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Lin Du, do you have a sect you want to join? The three sects, six schools, and ten schools in Zhongzhou each have their own strengths. I heard that people with excellent qualifications have the right to vote against."
Lin Du smiled, "Me? With my disabled body, as my brother said, no sect would want me. But my sister, maybe she still has a chance to choose. Is there any sect you want to join?"
Du Shao said softly, "Why should you underestimate yourself? Just look at your extraordinary talent. There must be many sects vying for you. I originally thought that it was good enough to have a sect want me. If there was a choice, it would be even better to be able to save the world."
Jesejong, one of the three kings, was the only one who specialized in medicine.
Lin Du's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed in his heart. Then he raised his eyes and looked at her seriously, "Saving people is the right path. Sister, you have a noble aspiration, and you will surely get what you want."
"It's still a mystery, and..."
"If I were a brother, I would definitely fulfill my sister's dream. After all, isn't the wish of the one you love also your own wish? And this wish will also benefit the world."
Lin Du glanced at the man who was stammering and trying to refute but couldn't, and the smile on his lips widened, he was very sincere, "There are always small sects near Jesejong. Brother can't bear to leave you, so he will naturally look for a small sect near Jesejong. This way, if you miss you, you can see you anytime."
Entering the sect is not like entering a cage, and there is no Queen Mother drawing a wall in the sky, so they can't meet each other anymore. The grandson is just afraid that his fiancée is going further and further away and he can't catch up with her, so he wants to trap her by his side.
She explained the way very clearly, and Du Shao's eyes suddenly brightened. With Lin Du's reminder, the previous difficulties were turned around smoothly.
Li Dong's face darkened, but since there were outsiders present, he couldn't say anything. He could only wait until he got to the square to make plans.

[Host, please continue to be strong, save others and save yourself, God will help you. 】
A wave of palpitations came over him again, and Lin Du stumbled. Du Shao was unable to hold him in place, and he fell to the ground like a frozen pine needle.
In the chaos, Lin Du seemed to hear a chuckle.
