My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Ye Nan Town is one of the more remote towns in Luanyang County. The local people are simple and honest, and the villagers work from sunrise to sunset, making a living by farming.

As the system described, Lian Jiaping was a kind doctor. He practiced medicine at his clinic, and people would come to him for treatment if they had any headaches or fevers. Some farmers even traveled from the countryside to the city by oxcart just to have him treat them.

He inherited the clinic and medical skills from his father. He understood the economic situation of the villagers and would use the most suitable medicines for their conditions and budget within their means.

He sometimes doesn't even charge patients with financial difficulties for consultations. Every year after the busy farming season, he would also set aside half a month to provide free medical consultations, bringing health to everyone around him.

Lian Jiaping's fiancée is named Shui Xiangling. She is one of Lian Jiaping's father's disciples and usually helps Lian Jiaping take care of the clinic and handle various medicinal materials.

Aside from going up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, plant them, or order them, Lian Jiaping basically has no other activities.

The two families lived a simple and warm life.

Because of its remote location, there are very few outsiders here, and the appearance of Ruan Chayan and Jin Si aroused the curiosity of the town's residents.

Their striking appearance means that whatever they do is under the watchful eyes of others.

So when Ruan Chayan inquired about Lian Jiaping everywhere, the resident Wang Erniang smiled and told her not to have any designs on Lian Jiaping. She said that Lian Jiaping and Shui Xiangling were childhood sweethearts and were already engaged, so there was no way Ruan Chayan could interfere in their relationship.

"Girl, if you ask me, someone as good-looking as you doesn't need to steal someone else's husband, right? What kind of man can't you find? Why are you fixated on Lian Langzhong?"

Our doctor and Miss Ling are a match made in heaven, their love is deep and profound. You have no chance!

Ruan Chayan felt extremely embarrassed that she had been misunderstood, but she had no way to explain. She only said that she had only observed Lian Jiaping because he seemed to have a connection with the immortals, and that she did not have any such intentions.

Sun San Niang, who was standing nearby, got excited when she heard this: "Immortal destiny? You mean that even a doctor like us can become an immortal?"

"Oh, I knew it! That kid Lian, he looks like a reincarnation of a celestial being! Grandma Lian is so lucky! If a celestial being were to appear in the family someday, what would that be like?"

"Where are you, sage? How could you possibly help even a doctor like Lian become an immortal?"

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Ruan Chayan had no choice but to pull Jin Si away from the siege of the old women.

The two stood at the alley entrance, concealing themselves. Ruan Chayan looked at the noisy women, feeling helpless and exhausted.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Jin Si couldn't understand Ruan Chayan's behavior. "Is Lian Jiaping the reincarnation of your lover? Are you trying to rekindle your past relationship with him, so you've been asking about him?"

Ruan Chayan was amused by Jin Si: "What are you saying? You're really good at joking."

Aren't those just plots from storybooks? What are you thinking?

"Then why have you been asking about Lian Jiaping?"

Jin Si was very puzzled. "You said you had some personal matters to attend to, and then you came straight here. As soon as you arrived, you started asking around about Lian Jiaping's character and daily life. You even squatted on the roof of his house at night to watch him. He's just a mortal without any spiritual roots. What are you after?"

Under Jin Si's persistent questioning, Ruan Chayan had no choice but to tell the truth: "Actually, all I needed to do was kill him."

Jin Si was even more confused: "? If you want to kill him, why are you asking about him?"

Ruan Chayan looked troubled, feeling bewildered: "I need a reason to kill him."

But now I've discovered that this person is a completely good person, without a single stain on their character. How can I bring myself to do this?

If we kill him, who will provide free medical care to the people here? What will happen to his family? Who will take care of his elderly grandmother?

Jin Si felt that Ruan Chayan was from a completely different world from him. He couldn't imagine what kind of nonsense was going on in her head: "Why do you need a reason to kill someone? You're going to kill him anyway, isn't that the reason?"

Are you alright? Just because you wanted to kill a mortal, you've been squatting on his roof every night watching him? Why did you make such a simple thing so complicated?

"If you kill him, you're not going to hold a funeral for him and kowtow and beg for forgiveness at his mourning hall, are you?"

Jin Si looked Ruan Chayan up and down with disdain: "Your bone age is over two hundred years old. You've been struggling in the cultivation world for so many years, how come you're still so useless? How could I have such a cowardly and shameless contractor like you?"

Ruan Chayan remained silent after being scolded. After all, their values ​​were different, and it was normal for Jin Si not to understand her.

Kim Sa asked impatiently, "As long as Lian Jiaping dies, we can leave this godforsaken place, right?"

Ruan Chayan hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Yes, after all, the purpose of my coming here is..."

She grabbed Kim Si, who was turning to leave, and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Where are you going?

A bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

Jin Si revealed a wicked smile: "I'll go kill Lian Jiaping, then you won't have to worry about it, and we can all leave here. Everyone's happy."

"Huh?! Uh, no way! How can you kill people like that?!" Ruan Chayan held Jin Si tightly, afraid that he would go on a killing spree at the slightest provocation.

Jin Si shook off Ruan Chayan's hand and said irritably, "Stop trying to pull me!"

What's wrong with you?! You're the one who wants to kill, and you're the one who's stopping me from killing. What exactly do you want?!

Ruan Chayan knew she was being annoying, so she sighed and said, "Let's go talk to Lian Jiaping. I want to know more about him."

Jin Si was utterly speechless: "Wow! How can there be a cultivator like you?"

I really can't understand your thought process. If you had developed feelings for him, would you not have killed him?

"You want to lay down your sword in this way? Then you're truly a genius!"

"Alright! Is this the first day you've met me?! So what if this is who I am?! If you have a problem with it, if you can't accept it, then break off the contract with me! My temple is too small to accommodate a Buddha like you!"

Jin Si's sarcastic remarks infuriated Ruan Chayan. From his perspective, she did seem like a lunatic, but the problem was that she could only see things from her own point of view!

Jin Si found it hard to believe that Ruan Chayan would say such a thing: "Do you think I'm just clinging to you like a leech?! That broken formation...!"

Forget it! There's no point in talking to you!

Jin Si transformed into a golden-red stream of light and disappeared before Ruan Chayan's eyes.

Exhausted, Ruan Chayan squatted on the ground, feeling terrible.

She didn't want things to get so ugly with Jin Si, but Jin Si was always finding fault and using harsh words. After a long period of resentment, it was inevitable that it would explode.

It's good that he left; let them calm down.

It's all her fault. If she weren't so stubborn, why would others dislike her?

She also hated her indecisiveness and stubbornness, but she didn't know how to change. She always unconsciously did things that she would regret.

It is precisely because she cannot help but ruminate on her words and actions, and constantly regrets them, that she hesitates and hesitates before doing or saying anything.

It's a vicious circle.
