Chapter 128 Forever Alone
Lou Yuqing looked at the chattering disciples in front of her, gestured for them to quiet down, and asked curiously, "You all trust me that much?"
Kind laughter rang out from the crowd.
“Senior Sister, everyone already knows that you’ve brought together two couples of elders,” a disciple said with conviction.
"Senior sister, could you help us predict our marriage prospects? We're willing to pay spirit stones," one disciple said hopefully.
She didn't care about spirit stones, since she had never lacked them. However, the disciples of the sect had significant relationship problems, and she felt it necessary to show them some concern.
It's definitely not for gossip purposes.
Lou Yuqing said with a smile, "I am currently in charge of the Enforcement Hall's duties, and I can only spare some time during my off-duty hours. I will be waiting for you in the square then."
The disciples all agreed.
"Junior sister, how is it?" Si Nidie saw her surrounded by a group of people from afar, and only flew over with a smile after they all dispersed.
Lou Yuqing gave a thumbs-up without hesitation: "Cheerful."
Si Nidie chuckled: "Let's share the gossip."
So, ten days later.
A large number of disciples gathered in the square, creating a formidable spectacle that far exceeded the number of those who had come to find Lou Yuqing before.
The story of Lou Yuqing's matchmaking achievements has spread far and wide, with word spreading from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Lou Yuqing glanced at the crowd and saw many familiar faces, who must have come to support her.
However, she is very popular, and it is clear that her disciples are deeply troubled by their relationships and urgently need someone to help them.
Fine, let her do her part to save their happiness.
With that, the system task is complete, the demonic tide in the Frozen Secret Realm has been resolved, and the sect's efficiency is quite good, earning a full 100,000 "spectator points".
Lou Yuqing figured it was enough, and her confidence soared.
Si Nidie stood beside her as her assistant and said seriously, "Everyone, line up and don't make a sound. If anyone causes trouble, we will not let them off easily!"
Although Si Nidie seems unreliable on a daily basis, she is always very serious in front of outsiders, and she is quite intimidating on the surface.
The disciples immediately shut their mouths and lined up in an orderly fashion, the long line winding across the square like a dragon.
Si Nidie nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, you can ask the first one now."
The other person was a shy male disciple. He extended his wrist and mustered up his courage to ask, "Senior Sister Lou, can I spend the rest of my life with her?"
Lou Yuqing glanced at his empty wrist, her lips twitching slightly: "..."
The Red Thread of Fate reveals the emotional connection between two people. This male disciple did not have a Red Thread, so the result is clear: he was only investing his emotions unilaterally.
Lou Yuqing said tactfully, "I'm sorry, junior brother, I can't see your marriage line."
No?
It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's not possible!
Therefore, this relationship was only one-sided on his part.
Everyone knows that Lou Yuqing now possesses the innate ability to know the past and future, so what she says is, to a certain extent, absolutely correct.
Waaaaah.
The male disciple was unable to accept the blow. He stood up in a daze and flew in a certain direction, his choked voice echoing in the air.
"You can deceive someone for their body or their body, but why deceive them for their feelings!"
Everyone: "..."
Is it any better to deceive someone sexually or physically?
Unbeknownst to them, several figures appeared in the sky, silently watching below.
Qingxuzi shook his head and said, "Young people are indeed full of energy, unlike us, we're all old folks."
Kui Tu, who had returned after dealing with the demonic tide, said with a smile, "I think Senior Brother Sect Leader looks much younger after finding his niece, Song Li."
Qingxuzi laughed heartily: "Houming's congenital weakness has been resolved, and Junior Brother Wei has been looking radiant lately."
Zeng Xuangan chuckled and said, "Sect Leader, what you just said is not right. We may be old, but we are young at heart. Besides, the sect will soon have a joyous occasion."
This joyous occasion undoubtedly refers to Shi Hua and the Sage of Medicine.
While they were talking, Lou Yuqing continued to help her disciples resolve their relationship problems.
Although the initial attempt was unsuccessful, Lou Yuqing was confident that it was due to her disciple's fault.
The second disciple was a woman. Without any shyness, she asked in a generous and open manner, "Senior Sister Lou, Senior Sister Si said that the brighter the color of the marriage line, the stronger the feelings. What color is the marriage line on my body?"
She spoke with great confidence in her feelings, and the marriage line on her body was indeed present and its color was very bright.
Lou Yuqing unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, which exploded with lightning and transformed into a streak of fire. A red light flashed before everyone's eyes, and she said, "It's the same color as that."
The female disciple said happily, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
She left the group with light steps and walked away hand in hand with a male disciple who was waiting beside her.
Seeing this, everyone's confidence, which had been shaken by the first male disciple's emotional outburst, instantly returned. They were certain that they too could succeed smoothly.
Lou Yuqing looked at the disciples behind her and smiled, "Do you still need to have your marriage prospects tested?"
Before her stood none other than Nangong Wen and her partner Chen Mujian. In Lou Yuqing's view, a dazzling red thread was tied around their wrists.
Nangong Wen smiled and said, "I originally came with Ying'er, but she broke through to a new level and went into seclusion. We didn't want to come for nothing, so we decided to join the queue."
Nangong Ying was envied by her fellow disciples and was cursed.
Fortunately, Tan Sheng's master was able to remove the curse, and his cultivation improved. He finally sensed an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage recently.
Lou Yuqing offered her blessings: "May you have a long and happy marriage."
Her words were more effective than anything else.
Chen Mujian, his face flushed, said, "Thank you."
The next person was also an acquaintance, Ruan Qingzhu, who raised the spirit monkey Xiao Ling, and behind him was Yuan Shenxing, who had his luck stolen by a mysterious person.
Regarding the mysterious person, the system only showed the person's back, a dark blue robe, and slightly burnt hair; there were no other clues.
To find out that person's identity, you need to spend one million "gossip points" to unlock it.
Lou Yuqing: "..."
The amount of gossip points she accumulated was simply not enough to keep up with.
Suddenly, Lou Yuqing saw something, her eyes fixed on Ruan Qingzhu's wrist.
The red thread extended backward and connected to Yuan Shenxing's wrist; the two had somehow developed feelings for each other.
Lou Yuqing had an unreadable smile on her lips.
Ruan Qingzhu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and touched her face: "Senior sister, is there something on my face?"
Lou Yuqing coughed twice: "If you want to ask if you have a marriage line, then congratulations, it's right under your nose."
Ruan Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, her face flushed. This was indeed her question: So, the person she liked also liked her?
She turned her head and met Yuan Shenxing's gaze. His eyes were focused and sincere, revealing his obvious thoughts.
Ruan Qingzhu said shyly, "You..."
Yuan Shenxing spoke first: "I like you."
Ruan Qingzhu's eyes widened slightly, her heart pounding. During this time, Xiaoling and Zhizhi often played together, and she and Xiaoling met almost every day.
Over time, she developed an unusual feeling, but she was timid and afraid that she might misunderstand him. Now, his answer gave her courage.
I like you too.
Ruan Qingzhu, her cheeks flushed bright red, sped away. She was reserved by nature, and being able to express her love in public was already her limit; she didn't dare stop to see how others would react.
Yuan Shenxing was still basking in the joy of being responded to when he noticed Ruan Qingzhu leaving. He immediately chased after her, calling out, "Qingzhu, wait for me!"
The disciples wore smiles of maternal affection.
Si Nidie secretly transmitted her voice to Lou Yuqing: "Junior sister, how do you feel?"
"It feels really good to help others."
Lou Yuqing's answer was impeccable, but it was not what Si Nidie wanted to hear.
She glanced at Lou Yuqing, wondering if her junior sister had no feelings for her at all after seeing the two of them get together.
Lou Yuqing was busy helping her disciples with their important life events, and really didn't have time to think about herself.
As it turns out, feelings are a constant thing; after three couples who had genuine feelings for each other, three couples whose relationships were riddled with problems followed.
Some disciples had several red threads attached to their bodies, while others had dim and lifeless red threads, indicating their relationships were on the verge of collapse. Still others were exposed for not having any red threads, and in their anger and shame, they tried to hit people, but were punished by everyone.
"Next," Si Nidie called out.
Lou Yuqing looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother Hao, you've escaped from prison?"
The visitor was none other than Hao Tianping, who had been imprisoned for blowing up the alchemy room. He later blew up the solitary confinement room again for refining weapons, earning him a year's worth of benefits.
Everyone couldn't help but admire him, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"She's even willing to break out of prison to come here and have her love life predicted. Has Senior Sister Lou's reputation spread to the Enforcement Hall's jail?"
"That's not the problem. He's already escaped from prison. If we catch him, we should be able to contribute quite a bit."
Hao Tianping: "..."
Seeing the group of disciples who were itching to act after hearing Lou Yuqing's words, he held out a hand: "Stop, I didn't escape from prison, Captain Wei released me personally."
Kui Houming's name was renowned even to those who were not disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. They immediately lowered their hands, acting as if nothing had happened.
Si Nidie clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "Captain Wei has never let anyone go before; you're the first one."
Lou Yuqing believed his story. No one dared to joke about Captain Wei, so she asked, "Senior Brother Hao, how did you get out?"
Hao Tianping put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "It's a long story."
Si Nidie snorted softly, disliking riddle tellers.
Lou Yuqing simply decided to support herself.
[Oh, so it turns out that during exercise time, they noticed something was wrong with one of the disciples, reported him, and the Enforcement Hall confirmed that he was an undercover agent.]
[Senior Brother Hao performed a great service, and his punishment was ended early, allowing him to leave the confinement room.]
Wow, I used to think he was a bit dull, otherwise why would he have gotten himself into solitary confinement? Now it seems I misunderstood him.
Hao Tianping: !!!
Wait, what's that sound?
He looked at Lou Yuqing in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, and realized that she hadn't even opened her mouth to speak. What he heard was... her inner thoughts!
Lou Yuqing asked with concern, "Senior Brother Hao, what happened to your eyes?"
Seeing Hao Tianping's expression, Si Nidie feared he would give himself away, so she quickly explained the situation telepathically.
Upon hearing this, Hao Tianping lowered his finger and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just some sand in my eye."
He then pretended to recount how he had reported the undercover agent, and his disciples cooperated by showing expressions of sudden realization.
Since hearing what Senior Sister Lou was thinking, their acting skills have improved a lot.
Lou Yuqing had no doubts and said, "Let me see your marriage prospects."
They looked at it for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Hao Tianping urged, "How is it?"
Lou Yuqing looked conflicted.
If Senior Brother Hao were told he was destined to be single forever, would he cry?
Hao Tianping: "..."
The disciples: "..."
How miserable.
