Chapter 5

◎Elder’s Tears◎

Jing Shuxing’s hair was dark and thick. The moment Chi Lu’s fingertips touched it, a soft and smooth sensation came, so comfortable that Chi Lu couldn’t help but squint her eyes.

She rubbed it, and even started to play with it attentively, ignoring Jing Shuxing’s suppressed sigh.

Chi Lu recorded the details smoothly and gently moved her fingers away, trying to minimize the pain and discomfort he felt from the sudden withdrawal of spiritual power.

She raised her eyebrows and leaned into Jing Shuxing’s ear: “Rest well.”

Jing Shuxing’s body tensed up, his mind fluctuating for a moment, filled with numerous plots and schemes.

The more Chi Lu thought about it, the luckier she felt. She couldn’t help but praise and encourage Jing Shuxing: “Your hair feels nice, I really like it.”

The warm breath rolled in his ear, the girl’s voice was clear as a silver bell, the tone carried a hint of laughter, like lingering fireworks, hooking the outline of his earlobe and lingering for a long time.

Jing Shuxing’s fingertips jumped fiercely, his clenched fist unconsciously tightened. He opened his mouth to say something, but felt a lightness in his wrist, and the bed was empty.

“By the way, I actually came to get the handkerchief.” He heard Chi Lu’s cheerful tone.

“How can it be all blood, this is troublesome, please ask them to help me wash it…”

The sound of footsteps accompanied Chi Lu’s mutterings, gradually fading away.

Jing Shuxing waited for a long time, no longer hearing any movement, he understood that Chi Lu had completely left. He sighed deeply and relaxed, falling back onto the bed.

Staring with hollow eyes, he picked up the strand of hair from his chest, his expression full of confusion.

What exactly did she come to do?

The palace below the mountain of Fengyue City, was prepared for distinguished guests.

The decoration was elegant and antique, from the agarwood doors to the carved dressing table, and even the carefully tended spiritual flowers and grass in the courtyard, every detail revealed the unique craftsmanship of the builder.

As soon as she returned to the palace, Chi Lu was dragged by Ying Lianyi into a corner for “interrogation”.

“My young sect leader, what kind of trouble have you gotten into that you dare not even admit your identity from Linghua Sect?”

Chi Lu guiltily stuck out her tongue, and told Ying Lianyi about her visit to Jing Shuxing, omitting the existence of the system.

As for the water cup exploding and her hitting the cultivator, she deleted as much as she could.

“In any case, I can’t let him die.”

After she finished speaking, her bare hand turned and trembled lightly, shaking out the spiritual power that recorded Jing Shuxing’s physical condition: “I have transcribed the spiritual body map inside Jing Shuxing, can you help me look at it?”

As soon as her words fell, Ying Lianyi’s gaze at Chi Lu suddenly changed.

She shrank back, and pleasingly approached Ying Lianyi: “Sister Ying, you are the best healer in our sect, please, help me take a look.”

Ying Lianyi’s face twisted, but her movements did not hesitate. She raised her hand and hooked her finger, taking over the spiritual power that Chi Lu had condensed in her palm. Her fingers skillfully flicked, playing with it over and over again.

Her face suddenly darkened.

Chi Lu’s heart also hung up.

“How is he?”

Ying Lianyi let go of her hand, and the spiritual power dissipated: “In the past half a year, apart from the life-saving spiritual pills, he has been taking all kinds of strong medicines that forcibly stimulate vitality. His body was originally full of holes and needed rest. Hanging on like this for a long time will only make things worse…”

Ying Lianyi suddenly fell silent, turned her head, and met Chi Lu’s concerned gaze.

“If he continues like this, he won’t survive the month.”

After Ying Lianyi finished speaking, she couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh: “Poor thing.”

At the same time, a light screen brushed out from Chi Lu’s bracelet.

[Warning, the end date of the plot is at the latest in mid-July. If the mission target dies before this, it will be considered a mission failure.]

The words on the light screen continued to scroll down.

【Host’s first round of plot detected, now starting the second round of plot:

To please the male lead, Chi Lu brought his elder brother to the main city hall, asked Fengyue City for Jing Shuxing, and because of her relentless heart, she said to the male lead: ‘If you want to come, that’s fine.’

Jing Shuxing swore to death not to comply, making Chi Lu so angry that she whipped him.

After getting Jing Shuxing, seeing his humiliated and oppressed appearance, she felt happy in her heart, and pointed at his forehead: ‘Don’t think about dying.’

Uncompleted missions: Make a declaration. Whip. Successfully asked Fengyue City for a person. Tease the mission target.】

A series of words hit Chi Lu’s face. After recognizing all the words, Chi Lu’s vision went black, and she fell back faintly.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never even spoken a dirty word, let alone verbally tease, whip, and torture.

Not to mention letting her say such disgusting words to the male lead, a stranger.

This mission is really too heavyweight, what can she do?

Ying Lianyi quickly stabilized Chi Lu.

She thought Chi Lu was overly shocked and comforted her softly: “Young sect leader, let’s leave Fengyue City immediately. Visiting such an unkind and unjust place has simply dirtied our shoes.”

“As for the first young master of Fengyue City… although pitiful, we are helpless. Men, if one miss this one, one can always meet a better one. Young sect leader, you don’t need to hang yourself on one tree.”

Chi Lu regained some consciousness and reached out to grab Ying Lianyi’s sleeve: “No!”

A strange look deepened in Ying Lianyi’s eyes: “Why?”

Chi Lu pitifully took out a blood-stained handkerchief: “He is so sick, if Linghua Sect doesn’t take action, there is only one way to death. Sister Ying, you have a kind heart as a healer, please help him.”

“Young sect leader, after all, this is Fengyue City’s business. The strength of the city lord of Fengyue City far exceeds others. Our best choice is to stay out of it.”

Ying Lianyi didn’t buy this at all, she tried hard to work on Chi Lu’s thoughts, not wanting her to get involved with Jing Shuxing.

Chi Lu couldn’t speak about the system, she couldn’t be soft, she could only be hard.

She stomped her foot fiercely, spread her arms to block the palace gate, like a butterfly blocking Ying Lianyi’s way.

“I won’t leave, Jing Shuxing can’t die, I still have to get him from Fengyue City.”

“What about the next one being better behaved, I don’t understand, I only know that I can’t do without him.”

If Jing Shuxing dies, her life is also over. He connected with her life, can other men do it?

Ying Lianyi looked shocked.

“Young sect leader, are you serious?”

“Of course.”

Chi Lu straightened her face solemnly, raising the jade token of Linghua Sect: “After all, I am the young sect leader of Linghua Sect, the Great Elder must listen to my orders.”

She was stubborn and persistent, like a rogue who would play dirty when she couldn’t win an argument.

Ying Lianyi was greatly shocked. She thought that the young sect leader was just experiencing the first stirrings of love and would be back to normal in a few days. Now it seemed more like she had been bewitched by the first young master of Fengyue City.

Whenever she mentioned Jing Shuxing, she was completely different from before.

She wanted to say something several times, but in the end, she sighed deeply and covered her face.

“It’s all our fault.”

“We have always treated you as a child, without considering the fact that you have grown up.”

It must be their negligence that caused the young sect leader to be unable to interact with the opposite sex for a long time, not understanding love, and thus uncontrollably falling into love, willing to live or die for the other person.

Chi Lu didn’t understand Ying Lianyi’s sadness. She hid the light screen and declared seriously: “I want to get Jing Shuxing from Fengyue City.”

After saying that, she started to think seriously about how to do it.

“If the young sect leader really can’t do without him…”

Ying Lianyi was calculating. As soon as she returned to the sect, she would immediately report to the sect leader and list all the things that Chi Lu had done beyond her bounds.

But honestly, she gave Chi Lu an idea: “You can only go to the city lord of Fengyue City to ask for him.”
