My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 251 The Unlicensed Taxi Driver!

Su Ling'er: "..."

Bodyguards? This script doesn't seem right!
Wait a minute... He disguised himself as a vulgar and wealthy businessman, and turned me into a bodyguard who looked like he could fight.

Is Senior Brother going on... a clandestine visit? Or is he suppressing his demonic nature to avoid alerting certain beings?
Whatever the reason, this means he will not directly massacre the city for the time being!
The suffocating fear dissipated almost entirely in an instant. But what followed was a deep sense of worry.

Can the eldest disciple, a member of the demonic path, really tolerate the offense of mortals? It's like sending an ancient ferocious beast that could erupt at any moment to stroll through a vegetable market!
What if some ignorant mortal in the city were to offend him...

Su Ling'er shivered.

My true duty as a bodyguard is not to protect his safety at all... but to protect all the ordinary people in Anhe City from dying because of his "insecurity"!

Having figured this out, Su Ling'er felt an immense weight on her shoulders.

As for not paying wages... what do material possessions matter compared to the lives of ordinary people? As long as her senior brother doesn't kill anyone, she'd be willing to pay him out of her own pocket!
She took a deep breath, her eyes revealing a tragic resolve. Composing herself, she clasped her hands in a fist salute to Lin Qingfeng: "Yes, boss. Your subordinate... will do her utmost!"

……

Two unfamiliar figures arrived at the south gate of Anhe City.

A wealthy merchant dressed in a brocade robe with gold trim, and a female bodyguard with a long sword at her waist behind him.

Su Ling'er followed half a step behind Lin Qingfeng, her originally lively eyes now filled with vigilance and solemnity.

They walked toward the city gate.

At the city gate, several officers in uniform were leaning against the wall, casually throwing dice and cursing under their breath, completely oblivious to the flow of people coming and going. Their hats were askew, their clothes were open, and they exuded an unsettling air of lethargy.

With each step closer, Su Ling'er's heart rose a little higher.

It's over. When did the defenses of Anhe City become so lax and negligent? She remembered that when she left home, the checks here, while not particularly strict, were certainly not as perfunctory as they were today. At least, the soldiers guarding the city would put on a show.

Has the order in this city deteriorated to this extent since the cultivators from the Heavenly Furnace Sect left?

But what she was more worried about at the moment was her senior brother in front of her! Based on her understanding of the strong, the higher the cultivation level of a person, the less they would tolerate the disrespect of ants. These mortal officials were so lazy and rude, it was as if they were jumping around in front of a tiger's mouth!
Her nerves were on edge, her spiritual energy surging within her body. She had prepared for the worst; if her senior brother showed any murderous intent, she would knock out and drag the officials away immediately, even if it meant being seriously injured! It was better to do it herself than to let them bleed on the spot!
Finally, Lin Qingfeng arrived at the city gate. One of the officials was so lazy that he didn't even bother to get up. He just lifted his eyelids and said lazily, "Show your official document, and then pay the city entrance tax of ten coins per person."

They didn't question them, or even glance at them!
Su Ling'er's breath hitched!
She stared intently at Lin Qingfeng's expressionless profile, at his hand that was about to be raised, her heart pounding in her throat!

Don't do it! Please, don't do it!

Su Ling'er made a snap decision: rather than let her senior brother take action himself, she would rather be the "bad guy" first, which was better than them losing their lives! This way, she could maintain her senior brother's dignity and also let these people escape a disaster!
She immediately stepped forward and lowered her voice: "Boss! You don't need to do this! How dare they be so disrespectful to you! I'll go and teach them a lesson for you!"

Lin Qingfeng: ? ? ? No, when was I supposed to make a move? How come I didn't know?

As she spoke, she flicked her wrist, and a sharp aura was about to emanate from her, but a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.

It's senior brother!

Su Ling'er felt a chill in her heart. It's over. He really thinks I'm in his way and is going to kill me himself?!

Lin Qingfeng frowned and replied in a low voice, "No, what are you doing? Why do you like to stir up trouble? Didn't I tell you to stay out of trouble? Why do you want to fight as soon as we get to the city gate?"

Su Ling'er: ? ? ?

No… I… I was saving their lives! I was protecting your grand plan of “incognito travel”! How did it become that I like to stir up trouble?!
However, before she could react, Lin Qingfeng had already raised his hand expressionlessly, pulled out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve, and threw it into the wooden box at the feet of the official with a "clang".

The officers who had been languishing just moments before instantly brightened up upon hearing this voice. The officer who had spoken earlier kicked away the dice, sprang to his feet, and his face immediately plastered with a fawning smile as he bowed and scraped before Lin Qingfeng: "Oh! Sir, I was blind to your greatness! Please come in! Please come in!"

Then, Lin Qingfeng didn't even glance at him before stepping into the city gate.

Su Ling'er stood frozen in place, bewildered in the wind. So... why resort to violence when money can solve everything? She even had a strange feeling, "Senior Brother, are you really an evil cultivator?"

However, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally dropped back down with a "thud," followed by a feeling of absurdity that was both laughable and pathetic.

But these officials... has your corruption reached this level? So blatantly?!

You paid some money, and you didn't even bother to check the most basic documents? You just let two people of unknown origin in like that? The world is going to hell! Aren't you afraid some notorious bandit or womanizer has infiltrated the city?!
Su Ling'er sighed helplessly and followed them inside.

They had just stepped through the city gate and hadn't even taken ten steps when several people surged towards them from both sides.

"Hey, hey, hey! You two look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Anhe City?" A man wearing a felt hat and with yellow teeth jumped out from the side, his face full of smiles, spitting as he spoke.

"Boss, wanna tour the city? I'm Old Zhang, the living map of Anhe City! A ride in my carriage is only one hundred coins a day!"

Before he could finish speaking, another skinny man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face squeezed through the crowd and shoved Old Zhang aside: "One hundred coins? That's robbery! Boss, don't listen to him! Take my seat! Fifty coins!"

"Thirty coins! Thirty coins is fine with me!" "Twenty coins! Boss! Choose me! I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a baby crying for milk!"

In an instant, seven or eight coachmen surrounded Lin Qingfeng and Su Ling'er, each pointing to themselves with their hands outstretched, their clamor almost drowning them out.

Lin Qingfeng's brows furrowed imperceptibly as he looked at the group of NPCs arguing heatedly. Their fawning yet greedy faces instantly stirred up some very unpleasant memories for him.

Isn't this the classic scenario of being surrounded by unlicensed taxi drivers after landing on a tourist trip? Damn it, this game is way too realistic! I'm definitely going to file another complaint against the local tourism department!
The look of disgust that he unconsciously revealed was caught by Su Ling'er behind him, and Su Ling'er's heart, which had just been at ease, was raised again!
Oh no! Senior Brother is getting impatient!
Although he tolerated it at the city gate, it didn't mean his patience was limitless! These mortal coachmen were so noisy, their spittle was practically spitting in his senior brother's face—weren't they courting death?!

What if the senior brother loses his temper and takes action...

Su Ling'er tensed up all her muscles, ready to pounce on the coachmen and shield them from disaster, even if it meant shoving them aside with her body!

Just then, Lin Qingfeng cleared his throat and waved to the crowd.

“No need.” His voice drowned out all the noise, and the drivers fell silent, watching him.

Lin Qingfeng reached out and patted Su Ling'er's stiff shoulder twice.

"My bodyguard can not only protect me, but also act as my driver. If I want to walk now, she will naturally pull the cart if I need it pulled!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

The coachmen looked at the slender girl with disbelief.

At that moment, Su Ling'er's brain completely shut down.

The coachman...?!

Looking at Lin Qingfeng's matter-of-fact expression, Su Ling'er's fear instantly turned into a deep sense of powerlessness.

Okay... As long as you don't kill anyone, I'll be your driver, I'll be your slave, say whatever you want... You're a demon, you're right.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing the still suspicious looks in the eyes of the coachmen, a thought struck her.

Since my senior brother has said so, I must establish the persona of this "super-strong female coachwoman"! As long as I can scare these people away, I can prevent a bloodbath!
With a cold face, Su Ling'er walked silently to the nearest cart.

"Hey! What are you doing, young lady..." Before the coachman could finish speaking, Su Ling'er stretched out a slender hand and casually placed it on the carriage shaft. Then... with a gentle lift, she easily lifted the heavy cart with one hand, steadily and smoothly.

"..."

"..."

Everyone was stunned, staring at the scene before them.

What's up with this girl?! Is she really that strong?
No wonder! No wonder this boss dared to bring a young girl along as her bodyguard and driver all by herself! She's a true heroine!

Lin Qingfeng waved with satisfaction to dismiss the group of terrified coachmen and stepped into the main street of Anhe City.

Su Ling'er put down the cart and followed behind him. Although she looked a little disheveled, her eyes revealed a sense of relief that she had once again protected peace.

Her gaze passed over his brocade robe and landed on the street she had walked countless times.

It's been more than three years.

She hasn't been back for three years...

Recently, the controversy surrounding player "Xiao Huijun" has continued to escalate within the "Jintian" player community. Former guild leader "Yinyuange" (or "Yuexia Qianhongxian") continues to denounce "Xiao Huijun" through multiple platforms, accusing him of direct responsibility for the downfall of "Yinyuange".

In response, "Xiao Huijun" himself stated that his character resides in the Tiannan Continent and has never traveled to the Yulong Continent. He claimed to be completely unaware of the accusations and mentioned that he suffers from "Yu Yu Syndrome".

It is worth noting that several players have submitted new evidence in the community, claiming that a player was active in two different locations on different continents at almost the same time.

This has sparked new discussions within the community. Some players speculate that there may be undisclosed faction characteristics or gameplay features that allow players to "impersonate" others, while others believe that this phenomenon may be due to abnormal system character data, a rare bug.

As of now, Jintian Group has not made any public response to this matter.
