Chapter 29

◎Look, he’s so obedient.◎

Chi Lu was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

She didn’t expect that Jing Luoyun, as the pampered young city lord, couldn’t even beat his less favored elder brother.

How could this be!

It was all because she had overestimated Jing Luoyun, which led to the current situation.

She originally planned to send people to pick at Jing Shuxing, but it took too long. It was obvious that Jing Shuxing was disobedient, so she thanked Jing Luoyun and the others.

She didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this, completely different from what she had imagined.

The latter half of the sentence was stuck in her throat, neither swallowing or spitting it out.

She didn’t know how much time had passed…

Chi Lu struggled to pull the corners of her mouth, revealing an embarrassed but polite smile: “That…”

“Well done, such a scourge is not worth living.” 

The words that were clearly meant to insult Jing Shuxing, when said at this moment, turned into praise instead.

The young man, using the cane as a long sword, showed no change in his expression. He moved the sharp end of the cane half an inch to the side, avoiding the fatal part of his throat.

On the contrary, the two people who were lying on the ground in a mess, after hearing Chi Lu’s words, all showed incredulous expressions.

“What did you say?” Jing Luoyun looked greatly shocked.

Chi Lu thought to herself: I can’t be blamed for this, it’s just that the young city lord is too weak.

She retorted: “Without permission, you broke into my residence, and you can’t even stand a scolding?”

“Young sect leader, Young sect leader Chi Lu, you actually brought him to the palace?” The trembling maid asked.

“How so?” Chi Lu looked down at her, “The city lord personally agreed to give Jing Shuxing to me, can’t I bring him here in advance?”

“Could it be that you want to reject his order?”

The maid shook her head: “No, I don’t mean that.”

“The first young master is indeed given to the young sect leader, but I think, we should first use the soul-locking shackles to seal his meridians, then feed him a pill to control his mind, and finally force him to swear a death oath, only then can he be safely handed over to the young sect leader.” 

Chi Lu was startled by the maid’s words, she didn’t expect that Fengyue City was full of hidden talents, even the small maid of the main city could say such things.

She remembered that she was wearing a mask, maintaining a light and floating tone: “Why? How can a waste person with a broken spiritual platform stir up any waves?”

“You.” Chi Lu pointed a finger at Jing Shuxing, “Put down your weapon and stand aside.”

Perhaps remembering his agreement with her, Jing Shuxing did not resist. He withdrew the sharp wooden cane, put his hands behind his back, and stood quietly under the fearful gaze of Jing Luoyun.

Chi Lu couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief, she couldn’t help but want to praise Jing Shuxing heavily, but due to her current identity, she could only express it indirectly.

She said, “Look, he’s so obedient.” 

As her words fell, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze.

Jing Luoyun and the maid looked at each other, their expressions varied. The praised party’s face was not obvious, the hand holding the cane end exerted force instantly, and a faint cyan-white color emerged from the joints.

Only Chi Lu was unaware of everyone’s thoughts, she noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, she even pulled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a bright smile.

“Why isn’t anyone speaking? Is there any dissatisfaction with my words?”

The maid took a deep breath, as if gathering courage, broke the silence: “Young sect leader, you must not take this lightly.” 

She rushed to Chi Lu’s side.

“You don’t know, the first young master, he is——”

“He’s a monster.” The maid gritted her teeth and blurted out.

Chi Lu didn’t expect her to say such a thing in public, so she quickly turned her head to look at Jing Shuxing’s expression.

She saw Jing Shuxing playing with the cane in his hand, ignoring the maid’s words. He casually fiddled with the cane, showing no regard for the gift she had given him.

Chi Lu felt a slight sourness in her heart, and couldn’t help but feel resentful.

Only then did she realize that Jing Shuxing not only had a dismissive attitude towards the cane, but also took off the ice silk satin that covered his eyes, and she didn’t know where he put it.

Unexpectedly, he pretended to care, but in fact, he had one set of behaviors in front of her and another behind her back.

Chi Lu didn’t feel good in her heart, naturally missing the maid’s generous speech.

When she came back to her senses, she heard the maid say:

“Jing Shuxing is not like us ordinary cultivators, who need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and practice meditation to prove the Dao. He has never received any magical instruments, cultivation methods, or pills to enhance his cultivation since he was a child. Yet, his speed of improving his strength far exceeds others.”

“Young sect leader also saw that even if his spiritual platform was shattered, he could suppress us with a brief burst of power. If left unchecked, when he recovers from his ashes, the first to be hurt will inevitably be you, young sect leader!”

The maid spoke sincerely, but her words were inconsistent with her point of view.

Without hard cultivation, one’s cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds in a day. Isn’t this a rare genius in a thousand years? If Jing Shuxing was born in Linghua Sect, he would have been cultivated as a pillar of the future, and he would never have fallen into his current situation.

Chi Lu frowned and showed an unhappy expression: “Don’t fool me, his spiritual platform is damaged, and forcibly using spiritual power will cause the pain of a million ants gnawing at his heart. How can he recover his cultivation?”

“I see, it’s clear that you are too poor, you can’t even beat a waste person who has lost all his cultivation. In order not to be laughed at, you shirk it on him.”

Her words seemed to hit Jing Luoyun’s thoughts, and he immediately showed a guilty and embarrassed look.

Jing Luoyun glanced at the maid secretly, seeing her arguing with reason, trying to save face for him, he gritted his teeth and stood in line with the maid.

“Young sect leader doesn’t know, Jing Shuxing is naturally evil.”

He stood up and said solemnly: “Ten years ago, on July 15th, someone saw Jing Shuxing’s body covered with curse marks, leaving the house of the city lord’s former wife and leaving the city.” 

“After that, the former wife of the city lord mysteriously disappeared, and the soul lamp also went out. If it wasn’t his doing, then what was it?”

He was full of confidence, thinking that Chi Lu would change her view of Jing Shuxing.

Chi Lu thought to herself: Regardless of whether the former wife of the city lord is a good person or not, what is Jing Shuxing’s character, and what does it have to do with her?

She didn’t want to entangle with the two of them anymore. The predetermined lines had already been said to Jing Shuxing, and the piece of jade should be given to him. There was no need for Jing Luoyun and the others to stay here.

The only problem was that she really couldn’t figure out how to shut up the two constantly opening and closing mouths and make them leave in disgrace.

“System.” She muttered in her heart.

“In order to advance the mission faster, won’t you consider giving me an idea to send these two back?”

The light of the bracelet dimmed, and in a moment, new words appeared on the screen:

“Jing Luoyun is sensitive and lacks love, and acts impulsively. Yun Pianpian is gentle and delicate, everything is for Jing Luoyun first, it is recommended that the host directly dispel Jing Luoyun’s idea of ‘replacing Jing Shuxing to win favor’.”

Chi Lu was first surprised by the maid’s name, then she rolled her eyes in disappointment: “No matter how clear you say it, I don’t understand.”

The system fell silent. 

Then, the screen flashed with words, forming a script-like plot, with the words “behavior to be referenced” marked in large letters.

Chi Lu quickly scanned it and was greatly shocked.

After a fierce inner struggle, she had to admit that the advice provided by the system was indeed feasible.

The key point was that she had to overcome her strong sense of shame and guilt, and vividly interpret the script provided by the system.

With her teeth clenched, Chi Lu waved her sleeves like shooing away flies, clearing a space for herself.

“I originally thought that the young city lord would have some high-level discourse for his beloved, but I didn’t expect it to be all nonsense.”

Chi Lu paced to Jing Shuxing, lightly touched his face with her fingertip, and straightened his face.

“All I know is that he is good-looking and gentle, and has won my heart.”

“Monster? Matricide? What does it have to do with me? As long as he is obedient, I like him.”
