Chapter 29 (Didi Chuxing's proxy kicking service)

Madam Hongyan looked at Lou Yuqing in amazement: "She really was right."

A moment ago, she heard Lou Yuqing's thoughts and wanted to ask what was going on, but found herself unable to speak.

Looking to the side, the sect leader and his senior brothers didn't seem surprised at all.

After their explanation, Madam Hongyan realized that this was the heartfelt sentiment of Master Zixiao's newly accepted disciple, who seemed to possess a natal supernatural power such as prophecy.

Sect Leader Qingxuzi chuckled and said, "Of course, Yuqing is never wrong."

"So, you heard all the things that happened to you earlier from this girl?" Madam Hongyan said with a malicious smile, her intention to watch the show was obvious.

Elder Kui Tu coughed once.

Zeng Xuangan paused, stroking his beard.

Only Qingxuzi and Meng Zonghan remained calm.

“These things are in the past now. Let’s continue. That girl’s water and wood spiritual roots are suitable for being a doctor.” Elder Kui Tu abruptly changed the subject.

Lady Hongyan happened to be interested in this, so she didn't press the matter and instead glanced downwards.

The doctor in the white robe looked at Shi Xiuxiu with admiration: "Such a promising talent should be admitted to my clinic."

As he spoke, he took out the antidote pill and urged, "Eat it quickly."

"Doctor, I cannot accept rewards without merit."

Shi Xiuxiu's mind was in complete chaos. She hadn't yet recovered from the shock of her lover's betrayal when a dumpling was suddenly shoved into her hand. She instinctively pushed it away.

I've heard that people from the immortal sects don't use silver for transactions, but rather a currency called spirit stones. I wonder if even with all of her Shi family's wealth, she could exchange it for just one spirit stone.

The white-robed physician noticed her embarrassment and explained, "It's free for you, no spirit stones required. Consider it a gift to celebrate your joining the sect."

“This…” Shi Xiuxiu was still somewhat hesitant.

Si Nidie kindly said, "Just keep it. One antidote pill is nothing. If you really feel bad about it, then you can pay it back to Doctor Qin when you earn some spirit stones later."

Doctor Qin nodded in satisfaction: "Absolutely."

Shi Xiuxiu's eyes welled up with tears: "Thank you all."

She swallowed the antidote pill, which melted instantly in her mouth. A warm current flowed down her throat and into her limbs, making her feel warm all over and driving away the lingering chill.

"Immortal Master, Xiuxiu failed the first test. According to the rules of the Immortal Sect, even if she has spiritual roots and aptitude, she cannot join." Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Luofeng hurriedly said to Elder Xu.

Everyone: Wow!

Elder Xu replied, "That's correct."

"Feng Lang?!"

Shi Xiuxiu looked at Qi Luofeng in shock, finding it hard to believe that these words came from his mouth. Perhaps she had never truly seen whether her husband was a human or a ghost.

Qi Luofeng said righteously, "Xiuxiu, I'm doing all this for our own good. Are you going to abandon me for the sake of cultivating immortality? Ask yourself, are you being fair to me?"

"Whether it's because you can't cultivate immortality and you're advising me out of selfishness, or because you love me and want to be with me for all eternity, you know the answer in your heart." Shi Xiuxiu stared steadily into his eyes.

Qi Luofeng felt guilty under Shi Xiuxiu's gaze and instinctively flinched. Realizing something was wrong, he quickly adjusted his expression: "Xiuxiu, of course it's because I love you. What's the point of cultivating immortality if I can't be with you forever?"

"Do you really think so?" Shi Xiuxiu asked softly.

Qi Luofeng nodded heavily: "Of course. When I brought you here to seek immortality, I told you that my wish in this life is for us to live longer and for our love to last longer."

"Yes, I believed you." Shi Xiuxiu's voice grew softer and softer. "But now I realize that you've been lying to me all along, and you've never thought about a future with me."

Qi Luofeng didn't hear the second half of her sentence clearly, but noticed that her expression was strange, and suddenly felt uneasy.

He told himself that Xiuxiu was easy to fool.

But the unease in my heart could never be shaken off.

Until he heard Xiuxiu say, "Fenglang, whether you poisoned me or not, you can find out by asking the physician at home. It's nothing to fool me for a while, but if you're so capable, you can fool me for a lifetime."

Qi Luofeng's eyes widened as he looked sharply at Shi Xiuxiu, only to find her staring at him with an unfamiliar gaze.

"Xiuxiu, you actually doubt me? I really didn't poison anyone! I swear, if I did, may I be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated!"

Qi Luofeng wanted to grab Shi Xiuxiu's hand.

Shi Xiuxiu dodged to the side and said coldly, "Don't touch me!"

Shi Xiuxiu is a gentle girl. Her parents were busy with their business when she was young and had no time to take care of her. She was sensible and did not bother her parents, but she lacked love in her heart.

After meeting Qi Luofeng, she felt a warmth she had never experienced before, especially after the death of her parents, she listened to him completely.

Whether he stays out all night or changes the name of the Shi family to the Qi family, as long as he tells her that the person he loves is her, she can comfort herself.

Looking back now, it all seems like a dream.

The reality after dreams are shattered is the murderous intent of the person next to you in bed.

Shi Xiuxiu thought that she had disappointed her parents. They had clearly told her to always put herself first, and even if it was her lover, she should still have self-respect.

But she failed to do it.

Not only that, she also brought wolves and tigers to the Shi family, almost causing them to hand over their family property.

If she forgives Qi Luofeng for what he did, then she will have let down her parents' expectations of her.

Shi Xiuxiu didn't want them to worry about her, their unfilial daughter, even after they died.

Qi Luofeng watched helplessly as she shook him off, and suddenly had a bad feeling: "Xiuxiu?"

Since meeting Xiuxiu, she had never given him a cold shoulder, let alone refused his touch so bluntly.

Qi Luofeng frantically tried to recall everything that had just happened, but couldn't find any flaws.

His poisoning was not exposed; he simply persuaded Xiuxiu to give up her cultivation and go home with him, using the excuse of loving her. Xiuxiu wouldn't turn against him over this.

Why is that?

Si Nidie looked surprised and muttered, "This girl actually realized something?"

This left her somewhat dazed, because even though Shi Xiuxiu heard her junior sister's thoughts, she still believed in Qi Luofeng, that scumbag.

Lou Yuqing scratched her head: "I also find it strange."

People with a "love-struck" mentality are usually unwilling to give up until they've reached the bitter end.

Shi Xiuxiu's behavior indicated that she was love-struck, and Lou Yuqing once suspected that even if she knew that Qi Luofeng wanted to kill her, she might still choose to forgive him.

Gu Bugai, with more experience than them, said calmly, "Because besides loving Qi Luofeng, she also loves her parents. Comparing the two, it's clear which is more important."

"I understand now. Shi Xiuxiu loves Qi Luofeng so much that she's willing to let him suck her blood, but she can't accept that he's trying to steal the life's work her parents left her." Lou Yuqing suddenly realized.

Si Nidie touched her nose and sighed, "Human emotions are truly complex."

at the same time.

Shi Xiuxiu said to Elder Xu, "Immortal Master, I would like to know if there is any way to remedy this. I really want to join your sect and become your disciple."

Elder Xu's stiff face broke into a smile, clearly impressed by Shi Xiuxiu's decisive and easygoing approach: "There is a solution."

"If you can pass the sect's test of character, then it proves that you have a good character, and it is only natural for you to join our sect."

Shi Xiuxiu's eyes lit up: "I want to pass the test of the heart, I humbly request the Immortal Master's permission!"

Elder Xu glanced at the sky discreetly, manipulated the array plate in his hand, and a beam of light appeared in the square. He said, "Stand inside and come out within an hour, and you will pass the test."

Shi Xiuxiu lifted her foot and walked forward.

"Xiuxiu!" Qi Luofeng called out from behind, but could not stop her.

Shi Xiuxiu was a well-bred young lady and couldn't bring herself to yell at him, but she had already decided in her heart that she wouldn't let Qi Luofeng get away with it.

Gazing at the brilliant light before her, Shi Xiuxiu plunged into it, both to bid farewell to her terrible past and to celebrate her new life.

Qi Luofeng watched her disappearing figure, utterly dejected.

No one present sympathized with him; on the contrary, they despised him.

A moment later, Wei Houming arrived at the square and punished Qi Luofeng: he gave the person who rolled down the steps a corresponding amount of money and made him roll down the 360th step of the Heavenly Ladder ten times.

This step was exactly where Qi Luofeng had just climbed. Wei Houming's move could be described as giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Apart from Qi Luofeng, whose face was grim and who cursed the immortal sect for being stingy, everyone else cheered.

Punishing a mortal person requires a balance between being lenient and severe; this approach is just right. Qi Luofeng learned his lesson, and his disciples were also given a wake-up call.

Si Nidie whispered to Si Nanren, "Brother, when Captain Wei asks the enforcement disciples to take Qi Luofeng away from the sect later, be proactive, step forward, and kick him a few times while you're at it, okay?"

Si Nanren: "...Okay."

His younger sister has always been fiercely opposed to evil since childhood, and that hasn't changed to this day.

Lou Yuqing leaned over and said, "Senior Brother Nan, kick me a few times too."

Didi Chuxing (a ride-hailing app) can kick someone out of jail; no problem.

Si Nanren glanced at her: "...Okay."

Gu Bugai thought for a moment and said, "In that case, how about a few more kicks?"

“…” Si Nanren, “Okay.”

So, after being dragged away from Wendao Sect by the law enforcement disciples, Qi Luofeng, who was covered in bruises and swelling, was walking alone on the road when he suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks and was kicked to the ground.

Before he could stand up, countless footprints flew in from all directions, scaring him so much that he ran away with his head in his hands, crying out, "Master, spare my life! Fairy, spare my life!"

Having barely survived the Shadowless Kick, he returned home only to be confronted by officials who accused him of murdering a disciple of a martial arts sect, a crime punishable by death according to the law.

Qi Luofeng's legs went weak, and he said in a panic, "My lord, I'm innocent! How could I dare to murder a disciple of the immortal sect? You must have made a mistake!"

"The Wendao Sect specifically sent someone to accuse you of intentionally killing their disciple. Shi Xiuxiu, do you think it's possible that they made a mistake?"

Qi Luofeng shook his head: "No, Xiuxiu is my wife, she is not yet a disciple of the immortal sect, I..."

"Enough with the nonsense, there will be plenty of opportunities in court."

"Don't arrest me, I'm innocent!"

The officials ignored him and stepped forward, grabbing Qi Luofeng's arms from both sides and forcibly taking him to the government office.

Passersby pointed at Qi Luofeng and whispered, "Hey, isn't that Boss Qi?"

"What bad thing did he do to get arrested?"

“I always said that no business person is honest and hard-hearted. No matter how well they pretend, they will eventually reveal their true colors.”

...

Wendao Sect.

The square shone brightly, and Shi Xiuxiu's figure appeared.

Lou Yuqing saw her rosy complexion and knew that she must have passed the test of conscience.

The next moment, Shi Xiuxiu walked up to Elder Xu, bowed and said, "Immortal Master, I have successfully passed the trial."

Elder Xu nodded: "That's right. From now on, you are a disciple of my Wendao Sect. Remember the sect rules and never forget your original intention. You don't need to call me Physician. Just call me Elder."

"Disciple greets Elder," Shi Xiuxiu said respectfully.

Doctor Qin gave Elder Xu a look: "Old Xu, hurry up, hurry up."

Elder Xu thought to himself that she was impatient, and then said to Shi Xiuxiu, "Doctor Qin intends to take you into the sect's medical hall. What do you think?"

Shi Xiuxiu looked at Doctor Qin in surprise, but saw that he was looking at her encouragingly. Her heart stirred, and she agreed: "This disciple is willing."

Dr. Qin saved her life, and that left a seed in her heart. She hopes that this seed will sprout and grow, so that it can save more people in the future.

Father, Mother, although your daughter still doesn't know how to do business, I've found another path, and I'm sure you'll be happy for me.

When Shi Xiuxiu thought of her parents who had appeared in Wenxin Pass, a look of longing appeared on her face. She wanted to talk to them more, but she had more important things to do.

Now that the goal of joining the Wendao Sect has been achieved, it's time to deal with another matter.

Shi Xiuxiu asked Doctor Qin, "I have unfinished business in the mortal world. May I return to the sect after I have resolved these matters?"

Doctor Qin understood and said, "Of course it's possible." He laughed heartily, "Elder Wei of the Law Enforcement Hall has already sent someone to inform the government. You just need to clean up the mess when you get back, and don't be soft-hearted."

Shi Xiuxiu was touched: "Yes, this disciple will not be soft-hearted."

Despite her gentle appearance, Shi Xiuxiu is incredibly determined. Once she makes up her mind, it is difficult for external forces to sway her.

Just like when she fell in love with Qi Luofeng without hesitation.

With Shi Xiuxiu gone, the square returned to silence, and Lou Yuqing and the others focused intently on the sky.
