I'm a passerby, I'm the daughter of God

Shen Linxi looked at the teacup opposite her. Through the mist of tea, she saw a blurry white shadow getting closer and closer. Only when the shadow came closer did she see her face clearly.

The woman in white sat down and looked at the tea in front of her. The color was dark green, the soup was bright yellow-green, and the aroma was mellow. She could faintly feel the spiritual power, so she thought it must taste great, but it was a pity that she couldn't drink it.

Chi Yue took a sip of tea calmly, holding the teacup in her hand, feeling the heat from the cup.

The woman in white slowly spoke: "Looking for me."

"I couldn't sleep, and I had nothing to do, so I wanted to listen to your story. If you don't want to, forget it. I'll go back to my room and sleep."

Shen Linxi's jade slip beeped twice. He picked it up and looked at it. He said to Chi Yue, "Master Qiu sent a message. The method you proposed is indeed useful. We have checked it once and found more than 50 servants are suspicious. But they are not sure whether it is true or not. After all, it is a life. So they will be detained in the dungeon first."

Chi Yue nodded: "Well, let's go check it out later. This monster's IQ is generally not high."

From beginning to end, she was looking at Li Luo who was sitting opposite her. Even though she was full of ghostly aura, it was not resentment, and her whole body revealed a cold expression.

The woman in white pretended not to smell anything. She just lowered her head to look at the teacup, smelling the mellow tea fragrance with a few very light tea scents floating on it. Her memory was directly pulled back to the past.

Her parents died early, and her brother had always protected her. Even though they were the legitimate children of the family, they were the fifth branch and were not favored. Unfavored family members were no different from casual cultivators, or even worse. They had even less freedom than casual cultivators.

Later, when her brother reached the foundation-building stage, life became easier. The two siblings worked hard to cultivate. Her brother was extremely talented and was a practitioner of magic, but she didn't have any special skills, so she learned swordsmanship.

At first, she was always stumbling, but later she really liked swordsmanship. The ups and downs of human nature she experienced since childhood made her always show a cold attitude to others. Practicing swordsmanship every day became something she had engraved in her bones.

That day she went to a small secret place for training and saved a person. On a very ordinary day, she met a person who changed her life. What would have happened if she hadn't met him? Who knows. Fate is like this, there is no reason for it.

"I am Qiu Huaian. Thank you for your help. What is your name?"

"Pear falls."

"What a good name. Fellow Daoist, you are here alone in the secret realm? But what do you need?"

"Go out and gain experience."

Li Luo looked at the robes he was wearing. They were rich and strong in defense, but his cultivation was mediocre. He looked like a rich young man. Who else would he rob if not you? He must be the treasure of some family, sneaking out to play.

Li Luo stopped looking at him and continued walking forward. Qiu Huaian trotted after him: "Li Luo, I'm alone too, why don't we travel together so that we can look after each other."

Li Luo said coldly: "No need, I am used to being alone, and we need to take care of each other? I think I should take care of you, right?"

Qiu Huaian smiled embarrassedly: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Li Luo."

Li Luo's mouth twitched shamelessly: "Don't follow me."

"I didn't follow, I just happened to be on the way, just along the way..."

After walking for a long time, she sat under a big tree to rest for a while.

Qiu Huaian held a cleaned rabbit in his hand and added the fire rack in a hurry: "This is what I just caught. It's not good to eat fasting pills all the time."

Li Luo leaned against the tree branch, ignoring him. She really couldn't understand the train of thought of this rich boy. It would be better for them to go their separate ways. They were not the same kind of people. She came to the secret realm because of life. She and her brother had very few resources, so they had to rely on themselves for everything they wanted, while this rich boy came here just for fun.

Qiu Huaian tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Li Luo: "Okay, Miss Li Luo, give it a try."

"No need."

"Give it a try."

Li Luo sighed, took it, took a bite, and frowned.

"what happened?"

Qiu Huaian took a bite and said, "Pah, pah, pah, why is it so unpalatable? I clearly saw others roasting it like this before."

Li Luo put the rabbit legs back on the grill, processed them, sprinkled seasonings on them, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

Qiu Huaian squatted beside her, watching her skillfully flip the barbecue. He looked at her with envy: "Li Luo is really amazing, with high cultivation, beautiful, and knows everything."

Li Luo turned a deaf ear and ate the rabbit leg.

Looking at the man next to him, he felt a little annoyed. He couldn't be driven away and he kept chattering non-stop.

Although Qiu Huaian didn't want any money for the resources he encountered, his cultivation level really couldn't help him, and her sword was enough. She didn't even think about giving him some, it was he who insisted on following, it was none of her business, and in the end she couldn't bear it and helped him out.

Out of the secret realm

"Now that you're out, don't follow me."

"Li Luo, where is your home? I rely a lot on you in the secret realm. I will visit you some other day to express my gratitude."

"No need."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Qiu Huaian hurriedly grabbed her wrist. It would be difficult to meet her in such a huge crowd: "Then add a jade slip for communication."

In the end, I added him as a friend because Qiu Huaian was too difficult to deal with.

From then on, Qiu Huaian received messages from jade slips every day, but Li Luo only picked out a few important ones and replied to him.

One day, they met by chance in the trading hall. Li Luo pretended not to see him and turned away. Qiu Huaian chased after him and said, "Li Luo, why are you ignoring me and not replying to my messages?"

"Busy."

Qiu Huaian was about to ask what was going on when he realized that Li Luo in front of him was full of spiritual energy. He could no longer tell her cultivation level and asked in surprise, "Have you established your foundation?"

Li Luo glanced at him twice and said coldly, "Yeah."

It has only been a short time since she reached a new level, and I...

Before he could look at Qiuyue, Li Luo had already walked a long way, so he chased after her: "Li Luo, actually... the last time I saw you in the secret realm, I was very happy, I like you... I don't know if you..."

Li Luo looked at him coldly: "I don't like it. I only want to be alone. I have never thought of forming a Taoist partner."

Qiu Huaian felt a little disappointed, but he still forced himself to cheer up: "It's okay, it's good to be friends now..." Then he changed the subject: "Where are you going?"

As soon as the voice fell, a woman in golden clothes came over: "Hey, isn't this the fifth sister? What are you doing here?" After looking at Qiu Huaian for a few times, she said with ill intentions: "So you are seducing men. Knowing that you don't have any resources to practice, you want to rely on men? Haha... I think..."

Qiu Huaian said seriously: "Shut up."

The woman in golden clothes was obviously startled. She was the daughter of the master family and had been pampered since she was a child. Few people would give her face like this. Pointing at Qiu Huaian: "You... who am I..."

Qiu Huaian put his hands behind his back. In terms of power in Yinshuang City, no one can compare to him except the city lord's family. And the city lord is his uncle. His uncle's family has no children. He has always been loved by his family. If it comes to backers, he is not afraid. Unexpectedly, one day he will be able to rely on others for power.

"Then do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. If you dare to collude with Li Luo and the others, I..."

"Watch your mouth. The two of us are innocent and stand in this world. If you don't have friends, you won't allow others to have friends. If I see you making things difficult for her again, I will never let you go."

"You...you are so fickle, attracting all kinds of people...you are fickle..."

"Shut up, that's because Miss Li Luo is charming. Beautiful flowers always attract bees and butterflies. How can this be the flowers' fault? You are also a girl. Don't you feel guilty for speculating about others with the most malicious intent?"

"You... who are you? Li Luo, I will never let you two adulterers go."

Qiu Huaian said coldly: "I am Qiu Huaian from the Qiu family. If you want to settle accounts with me, the door of the Qiu Mansion is open and I am waiting for you at any time."
