One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

[Ding~ Liangxiang Station, arrived.]

The subway station's announcements echoed through the empty underground passage.

in the corner.

Two girls who looked like they had just come from a comic convention were standing around a shabby little stall.

One of them...

She has pink hair!

"Young master, could you take a look?"

"Um…"

The pink-haired girl stretched out her small hand and handed it over.

"Little master... what did you see?"

The stall was extremely rudimentary, consisting of only a dirty whiteboard leaning against the wall.

The words "fortune telling and character analysis" were written on the whiteboard in black marker.

It's clear that the stall owner isn't very skilled.

The four characters, starting from the top and ending at the bottom, clearly get smaller, conveying a strong sense of guilt...

"You...uh...this..."

The stall owner had a stern expression, a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, and long white hair that almost reached his waist was simply tied back.

Judging by his appearance alone, he does indeed resemble a refined and enlightened sage.

It's just... that filthy Taoist robe, I wonder what it went through... it has a faint sour smell...

The girl pouted and withdrew her hand: "What? After looking for so long, all you can say is three words. Do you even know how to do it?"

"Pfft—"

Behind her, the woman accompanying her couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"That's what makes it cute! Little master, take your time looking at it, no rush~"

I said, "Let's add each other on WeChat, okay? I'll go back and get my roommate to come and get their fortune told with me..."

Zhang Lingyu lowered her head even further, her ears turning a blush.

"The two...the two...have bloodshot eyes and unsteady steps, clearly indicating kidney deficiency."

The two women were slightly taken aback.

"...sexual activity should not be too vigorous..."

The two women were silent for three seconds, and then they completely erupted!

"A fraudster!"

"So young, and already a con artist... What good is being handsome!"

"Despicable!" x2!

The two walked away, swearing and grumbling...

Zhang Lingyu leaned against the cold wall and let out a long sigh.

"well..."

If only I really knew how to scam people...

He raised his hand and rubbed his stiff cheeks.

Gollum-

My stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

It was already past nine o'clock at night.

The crowds are no longer as suffocating as they are during the day.

It's pitiful that he arrived in Beijing full of enthusiasm but ended up wandering from place to place.

I thought that once I got here, I'd have more opportunities and a better chance of survival...

As a result... reality gave them a harsh lesson!

"Meow~"

A fat orange cat walked past Zhang Lingyu.

It wiggled its big tail, swaying back and forth in front of the flowing crowd.

"So cute!"

A young woman stopped in her tracks.

A sly glint flashed in Fat Orange's eyes.

It licked its paws, lay down, and exposed its belly...

The girl then extended her slender fingers and gently touched the chubby orange's chin.

Seeing this, it immediately unleashed its ultimate technique!

He gently rubbed his fluffy little head against the girl's leg...

"Hehe...Are you hungry?"

The girl was amused and giggled. She turned around and walked to the convenience store stall next door, where she bought two sausages that were purely additive-free and made with zero natural ingredients.

Unpack the package and put it near the orange cat's mouth.

"Here you go~"

Zhang Lingyu leaned against the wall, her gaze fixed on Fatty Orange.

The Adam's apple moves up and down.

Two...two...

goo-dong-

He swallowed.

Can the cat finish eating it?

As if sensing something, the orange cat stopped chewing and suddenly turned its head to look at Zhang Lingyu.

It lowered its body, making a gurgling sound in its throat, and opened its mouth towards Zhang Lingyu:

"ha--!"

Zhang Lingyu quickly looked away!

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and silently recited:

"The Supreme Star, ever-responsive...exorcising evil spirits and binding demons, protecting life and safeguarding the body..."

Zhang Lingyu, oh Zhang Lingyu...

How could you...how could you be so greedy for a cat!

"Hey! Reciting the purification mantra!"

A soft laugh suddenly came from beside me.

Zhang Lingyu didn't even open her eyes, but her heart was already pounding in her throat!

This sound... is bad...

Get out of here!

"ha!"

Without the slightest hesitation.

Zhang Lingyu launched himself into the air and took off running!

The hem of the Taoist robe fluttered in the wind at an extremely fast speed.

A playful laugh came from behind:

"Old Wang, catch that outcast from the Celestial Master's Mansion!"

Wang Ye held his baseball cap down with one hand, his eye twitching.

You can teleport, why did you make me do it?!

Please... I need to ask them for help later!

He extended his hand:

"spirit..."

He was only halfway through his sentence.

Beside him, Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes, noticing Wang Ye's predicament.

He chuckled softly and took a step forward.

"I'll do it~"

"Eight Gates Moving..."

The word "luck" hadn't even been uttered yet.

Zhang Lingyu, who was running wildly, slipped and stepped on a pile of glass beads that the unlucky child had scattered on the ground...

boom!

A muffled thud echoed through the subway station.

Lingyu Zhenren, who hadn't eaten for four whole days, lost his balance and fell straight to the ground!

Zhang Lingyu hurriedly got up.

Three smiling faces had appeared before them.

Zhang Lingyu's face flushed instantly, wishing she could disappear into the ground right then and there...

"week…"

He had just uttered a single word.

Zhuge Qing took a small bag of transparently packaged bread from his pocket and handed it over:

"Here, I took it on the plane."

He snapped open the fan tucked into his waistband, exuding an air of refined elegance, and said with a smile:

"I figured I'd need it later, but I never expected it to be used here."

Zhang Lingyu's eye twitched, and she abruptly turned her head away.

"So... the three of you came all the way to Liangxiang subway station late at night just to see me make a fool of myself?"

Seeing that he wouldn't take it, Zhuge Qing shrugged and was about to take the bread back.

Zhou Yan reached out and snatched it away!

tear it up-

He squeezed the packaging bag open gently with both hands.

A faint milky aroma instantly filled my nostrils.

Just as she turned her head away, Zhang Lingyu, who was maintaining her aloof persona, felt her stomach protesting again—

Glug glug...

The sound wasn't loud, but it couldn't escape the ears of the three shrewd people in front of them!

Zhang Lingyu turned her head away in shame, her fists clenched tightly...

Zhou Yan waved the bread in his hand, his tone gentle:

"Eat up, no one will laugh at you."

Zhang Lingyu looked up at Senior Brother Zhou's smiling face and almost burst into tears on the spot...

Senior Brother Zhou!

He reached out his trembling hand and took it.

He turned around, his back to the three of them, and began to swallow large mouthfuls of food.

Zhou Yan watched his retreating figure and asked:

Did Rongshan ever say he wanted you to come and seek refuge with me?

Zhang Lingyu paused, swallowing the food in her mouth.

His voice was dry and hoarse:

"I did say that... but Lingyu felt ashamed to face Senior Brother Zhou..."

Zhou Yan was taken aback.

How come after I came down the mountain, they all started calling me "fellow disciple" so naturally...?

Has something happened that you don't know about?

But now is not the time to dwell on this issue...

He turned his head, and the King of Chong blinked as well.

Master Wang immediately understood.

"Lingyu is a decent person, but he's too concerned about his image... so if we want to recruit him, we can't say we're going to help him out."

Just say...

He stepped forward, squatted down beside Zhang Lingyu, and earnestly said, following the lines Zhou Yan had taught him beforehand:

"Master Lingyu, we are not here to pity you or to laugh at you."

Zhang Lingyu raised her head, and the arrogance in her eyes faded somewhat.

Wang Ye sighed and patted him on the shoulder:

"I've come to ask for your help!"

"You don't know... ever since I left Longhu Mountain, I've been being watched."

The house was in complete chaos, with all sorts of people secretly watching...

After listening for a while, Zhang Lingyu's eyes gradually cleared, and then he suddenly realized!

That's it!

No wonder Senior Brother Zhou went to work as a security guard at the Wang family's house...

So, they were secretly protecting Master Wang!

He turned to look at Zhou Yan, his eyes filled with renewed respect!

"Master Lingyu, what do you say? Would you be willing to come and help?"

Zhang Lingyu nodded firmly, her gaze resolute.

"good!"

Having said that, he then realized that he hadn't yet shown proper respect to Zhou Yan upon their meeting earlier that day...

Although according to seniority, I am ranked tenth.

But those who achieve success come first!

"Senior brother..."

"Don't call me senior brother!"

Zhou Yan shook his head, interrupting him.

Zhang Lingyu was slightly taken aback, and then her eyes quickly dimmed.

yes...

He had already been expelled from his sect...

How dare he continue to call him "senior brother"?

Zhou Yan grinned and flicked his finger on his forehead:

"Call the captain!"
