The fairy always tries to corrupt my Dao heart.

Chapter 28 "Trust me".

The problems encountered in Kawaguchi County are actually present in many places, and even have similarities to those in Kaeiyama Town.

Kawaguchi County, with a population of 50 million, is a large settlement of ordinary people in Yanzhou, where fishing is their main occupation.

As one of the largest prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Luoxia Sect, its main purpose is to provide the power of vows for cultivators within the sect who practice the path of incense offerings.

This mutually beneficial way of life is also one of the common cooperative methods in the cultivation world.

However, starting a hundred years ago, the Kawaguchi River had a new river god named Linggan Dawang, who guaranteed that Kawaguchi County would have a bountiful harvest every year, while also demanding that Kawaguchi County offer one hundred pairs of people with pure Yin and Yang energies every month.

That is, young boys and girls.

From then on, Kawaguchi County had a grand festival to worship the river god.

This is both to thank the King of Inspiration and to offer the purest Yin and Yang essence on this day.

This refers to newborn infants whose innate vital energy has not yet completely dissipated.

The grand ceremony takes place on the third day after the Ghost Festival each year.

On the airship bound for Kawaguchi District.

“No matter what happens, their first reaction is to pray to the gods.” Shen Qingyu stared at Li Qingan sitting opposite her: “This is how it has always been in places like this.”

After listening to the request from the woman named Xue Dan, Shen Qingyu looked at Li Qingan earnestly and said, "The river god may not be a river god. It may even be the spirit of a cultivator from the Luoxia Sect. That's why the Luoxia Sect turns a blind eye to this."

"Leaving aside the truth for now, Kawaguchi County has been believing in this for a hundred years. If someone dares to deal with the river god today, they will dare to recklessly attack places full of spiritual energy tomorrow and force them to commit suicide."

Shen Qingyu emphasized, "This Xue Dan enjoyed the fruits of other people's labor after giving up their children, but now that it's her turn to contribute, she's starting to resist. Isn't she just a hypocrite who's generous with other people's money?"
You shouldn't have listened to her and accepted this mission!

She was genuinely angry about Li Qingan's behavior.

Although I don't disregard ordinary people, and sometimes I help them when I can, from the perspective of the general public, ordinary people are indeed a group that cannot cultivate spiritual energy and is abandoned by the times.

The Qi cultivators will ensure their safety, because many cultivators come from the mortal realm, but those from Kawaguchi County are the most difficult to deal with.

Firstly, they are tools for extracting the power of wishes from the sect. Secondly, they band together to regard the river god as a deity and a faith. If they really kill the river god, Kawaguchi County will curse his fellow villagers to death!

This has aroused public outrage. Is there still a place for my fellow villager's brother in Yanzhou?
Shen Qingyu had heard of such things many times, but this was the first time she had ever seen one.

Because Chang Gung is too remote.

In a realm teeming with spiritual energy, there are no mortals.

She thought Li Qingan was too impulsive!

"Furthermore!" Shen Qingyu stared into Li Qingan's eyes: "Don't you think it's very unreasonable for this woman to run out and ask you for help? How could Kawaguchi County let her run out?"

you……"

“She was deliberately released.” Li Qingan finally interrupted Shen Qingyu, smiling slightly: “Someone deliberately sent her to find me and get me to go to Kawaguchi County.”

With a simple soul search, what could Master not know?

Shen Qingyu was taken aback: "How did you know? Wait, are you still going?"

"How will I know who's targeting me if I don't go?" Li Qingan leaned back in his chair. "As long as I don't find the mastermind, I'll continue to be targeted. In that case, why not just resolve it once and for all?"

"Even so, there are other ways; there's no need to go all the way to Kawaguchi County..."

Shen Qingyu's voice softened: "The river god of Kawaguchi County is a real troublemaker; whoever messes with him will get into trouble!"

"I know what's going on."

Li Qingan crossed his arms: "Furthermore, the spiritual energy of Chang Geng Realm is recovering. We will have to find a way to settle these people sooner or later. It won't hurt to take a look first."

“These things are for others to worry about!” Shen Qingyu couldn’t help but punch Li Qingan: “Why do you need to take this risk?”
The reputation you've worked so hard to build could just collapse in an instant..."

Li Qingan reached out and covered the back of Shen Qingyu's hand, which was resting on her thigh, and gently patted it: "Sister Shen, my reputation wasn't built up on purpose."

If you get bogged down by this, wouldn't you just be living for others' approval?

Shen Qingyu paused for a moment, then couldn't help but recall his earlier words, "The important thing is to please yourself." But the saying "If you want to establish yourself, help others to establish themselves; if you want to achieve success, help others to achieve success" also has its prerequisites.

"Can……"

"Just trust me."

Li Qingan's voice cut off Shen Qingyu's words. Looking at his calm and determined eyes, Shen Qingyu pursed her lips and said, "If there's no other way, I'll definitely pull you away immediately..."

"Will not."

Li Qingan withdrew his hand from Shen Qingyu's and turned to look out the window: "This matter... is not difficult to resolve."

Shen Qingyu stared at his profile, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid?"

“Fear is useless.” A murderous glint flashed in Li Qing’an’s eyes: “I don’t know who I have a grudge against, but since they want to harm me, I will make them taste the consequences of their backlash.”

Shen Qingyu looked at him and couldn't help but think of his previous remarks about beating up an old man in the street to extort money from him.

And last night he said he'd go home to cultivate, and then he went home to cultivate...

It's the kind of personality that, once a decision is made, executes it immediately.

Looking at Li Qingan's calm profile, Shen Qingyu suddenly became curious about how he would handle this matter...

Shen Qingyu stared intently at Li Qingan's calm expression, watching the sunlight outside the window cast a shadow between his eyebrows and eyes.

Wow... my fellow villager's brother has really long eyelashes.

"By the way," Li Qingan turned to look at Shen Qingyu, "Hmm? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Uh..." Shen Qingyu's pretty face flushed red. She quickly looked away and subconsciously raised her hand to smooth her hair. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "No, it's nothing. I was just curious how you would handle it..."

"Um, what do you want to ask?"

Shen Qingyu clenched her left hand tightly on her lap, feeling her heart beating a little fast.

He's the guy my best friend likes, how can I just stare at him like that?
So outrageous!
"You can freely enter and exit the Luoxia Sect's protective formation, do you have a Luoxia Sect token on you?"

Li Qingan didn't seem to care and continued asking.

"Yes, yes." Shen Qingyu quickly took out a token from her storage ring and handed it over: "This is the Holy Maiden Token that Yinyin gave me. She doesn't need it."

"It's good to have it."

Li Qingan reached out and took it, touching Shen Qingyu's fingertips, and her head lowered even further.

"May I borrow it for a bit?"

"Um……"

Shen Qingyu nodded gently. Li Qingan looked at her expression and, feeling relaxed, decided to tease her.

"Are you hot?" Li Qingan leaned forward slightly. "Why is your face so red?"

Shen Qingyu subconsciously looked up at him, taking in the curiosity and concern in Li Qingan's eyes.

o (* //// ▽ //// *) q
Hey... why are you looking at me like that?
You should see Yinyin this way.

Shen Qingyu lowered her head shyly and timidly again. Feeling her face getting even hotter, she whispered, "It's nothing, I'm just a little hungry."

"You didn't bring any food?"

"Bring it."

"Then let's eat." Li Qingan leaned back in his chair. "Are you afraid I won't watch?"

I'm a little scared now...

Shen Qingyu muttered to herself, not daring to speak again.
