“No matter what you are thinking, I urge you to stay away from Zou Yaowei.”
There is a dark alley at the backdoor of Blue Bird. The whole alley is completely dim with only one old street lamp, which may be designed for someone to avoid being noticed. Few people will tread this path at midnight.
Lin Luoran has just followed Zou Yaowei out of the back door. Brother Wen stops her and says that.
Seeing that Lin Luoran is indifferent to his warning, Brother Wen bursts into laughter, “No one will stop you from bringing about your own destruction. This is it.”
Lin Luoran sneers when she notices that Zou Yaowei is checking on her recklessly under the street lamp, “Granted that I let go of him, he will not do the same to me, right? The special department is indeed privileged!
Zou Yaowei laughs, “You are sent by the Qin family as I expected. What, I hear that Qin Baojia is still breathing?” He keeps checking on Lin Luoran from
Brother Wen is alerted since the woman who says that her family name is Qin has noticed that he is a cultivator when he never shows his Reiki. Still, he makes a complex ancient bow and says, “My name is Wen Guanjing, the 53rd generation of the Wen family in the Zu Mountain. Miss. Qin, can you tell me which school are you from?”Hearing the genteel style of Wen’s words and seeing his ancient etiquette, Lin Luoran has a feeling that things may get more serious. Besides, he claims to be the 53rd generation of the Wen family in the Zu Mountain. Everybody in Lin Luoran’s generation is familiar with the words “Zu Mountain”. People fascinate the bizarre world of swordsman. However, nothing like flying swords performing magical power has ever happened even when the Three Gorges Dam is built and water submerges most of the famous peaks of the Zu Mountain. As a result, people’s desire of becoming “immortal swordsman” is greatly reduced. H
It is already too late for Lin Luoran to dodge the fire ball coming like a bullet. Lin Luoran withdraws the whip and tries to split it in the same way she dissipates the pink smoke. However, the second the fire ball touches the whip, the whip, which is made of special metal, is on fire. Lin Luoran snaps the whip on the ground but the fire is still burning. The fire spreads fast so she decisively drops it.Lin Luoran ignores the burning whip on the ground and rushes to Wen Guanjing— He is drawing another pattern when she tries to put out the fire!There is no longer a weapon in Lin Luoran’s hand to shield the weird fire ball so she can’t just let Wen Guanjing cast another spell. Since she has punched Mu Tiannan in her house that night, Lin Luoran is now quite confident with the moves she learns from Master Jia. She raises her hand and attacks right at Wen Guanjing!Sensing the slashing hand coming to him, Wen Guanjing certainly has
Liu Zheng is desperate to ask Lin Luoran if she bears grudges against him, but he fails to open his mouth. With a second thought, Liu Zhengactually knew that Zou Yaowei was badgering with Baojia since she returned to the capital. He never loved her, so he just went with the order of his family and chose to stay put— However, he was also being selfish. He hoped that Baojia could fall in love with another guy so that…The “so that” now becomes bitter when Liu Zheng thinks about it. If he knew Baojia would have an incidence, he would come to the capital to stop Zou Yaowei no matter he loved her or not. Even not as a lover, Liu Zheng saw Baojia as the younger sister he grew up with. Liu Zheng secretly peeps at Lin Luoran on the back seats. Her dress is dirty and her long hair is messy. He can’t imagine what kind of thrilling fight she has been through after she says calmly that Zou Yaowei is badly hurt… If, just if she is not from
Commander Qin is stunned. He isn’t expecting Lin Luoran’s question.He never tells Baojia about some things in the past. However, he feels comfortable to tell Lin Luoran the story because she is a cultivator.“Luoran, do you blame me for being nosy and says things like the Taoist root to Liu Zheng?”Lin Luoran shakes her head and answers, “I’ve been following the path of cultivation for a short time. My masters never tell me things like that. I only ask you out of my own curiosity.”They are in the villa of the Qin family so there is no need to worry about being overheard. Commander Qin sits down in Baojia’s room and starts to tell the story of his family. “In fact, my grandmother, who is Baojia’s great grandmother, was a cultivator, just like you…”Lin Luoran is shocked by the first sentence Commander Qin says. It turns out that Baojia is also the offspring of cultivators?“Don’t be surprise
Commander Qin nods with a smile, “You’re right. I have met the crazy cultivator.”Almost every student in the State of Huaxia is familiar with the phase of history Commander Qin tells. The state was established in 1949, and then the war to resist the U.S. and aid Korea broke out. Commander Qin was only a teenager when he was ordered by his father to join the army. He went to Korea with the army, and back then, he was a soldier of the lowest rank who had to fight in the front row.“One time, the regiment I was in was besieged by the U.S. army. In order to strike back, we split up into several groups and laid in ambush in the mountains… It was a hot summer, and I remembered feeling dehydrated. The U.S. army attacked, and I just shot back randomly. All of a sudden, I passed out because of severe heartache. And I woke up one night…”Commander Qin woke up one night. He found himself lying in the wild under the stars. There was no wound
Lin Luoran wasn’t 100% sure before if Baojia could cultivate so she didn’t tell Commander Qin about it. Now, she has listened to the old story of the Qin family and it turns out that Baojia’s great-grandmother is a cultivator. Although Commander Qin and his father don’t have the Taoist root, Lin Luoran is pretty sure that Baojia does, whether the Taoist root has skipped generation or the gold pattern forces to unlock it.Therefore, Lin Luoran nods slowly and seriously facing Commander Qin’s hopeful eyes. Commander Qin doesn’t speak for a while due to the joy. Minutes later, he takes a pendant out of his clothes and keeps stroking it gently.With a closer look, Lin Luoran finds that this is a pendant made of mutton-fat jade. It is gold-rimmed but is full of cracks. This is obviously the patching work done by an expert craftsman. Lin Luoran’s eyes are lighted up. Noticing Lin Luoran’s expression, Commander Qin understands what she
Lin Luoran doesn’t sleep all night. Although as a cultivator, her physique is better than ordinary people, she feels tired because she has used lots of energy and Reiki to copy down the magic circle. It’s only 6 o’clock, and she has time to take a nap at the desk. Someone knocks the door and wakes Lin Luoran up when she has just fallen asleep. Actually, it’s already 8 o’clock, which is the usual time for the Qin family to have breakfast. Lin Luoran opens the door and finds one of the housekeepers there. “Miss. Lin, did you sleep well last night?” The housekeeper knows that Lin Luoran always gets up early, and she is surprised that Lin almost misses breakfast today.Lin Luoran is embarrassed that she needs someone to wake her up for breakfast when she is a 27-year-old adult instead of a 17-year-old teenager. She hurries downstairs. Commander Qin is already at the dining table, and Lu Sanchun and the other soldiers are at another
Mu Tiannan shakes his head, “You are such an unlovely woman. Can’t you ever talk nicely?”Wen Guanjing pulls Mu Tiannan aside, “Miss. Lin, you are a member of the Taoist School, and you must know what is going on in the department. We tried to protect Zou Yaowei before not because we saw human life as straw, but that we were out of options due to the short of hands.”Lin Luoran asks seriously, “The pink smoke Zou Yaowei emits is clearly wicked. Are you not picky at all?”Wen Guanjing is embarrassed, “Though his pink smoke is nothing good, it is quite powerful. Don’t you think so, Miss. Lin?”Thinking of the pink smoke which can mess with people’s mind and disable them, Lin Luoran assumes that she may be defeated last night if she doesn’t have the bead. She can’t deny that—Zou Yaowei’s pink smoke is a powerful weapon when his enemy is unguarded. Why is Wen Guanjing telling her about this?“Mr. Wen, I’m jus
