When Lin Yi saw Shang Chang'er, he smiled politely and said, "What, you've come out to help too?"
"No, I was just looking around."
That's a lie; she secretly helped just now too.
As someone who loved to scam, she really changed after she entered the system.
But I haven't broken my old habits. For example, if I do a good deed, I don't want to say that I did it myself, because I feel like it's not cool.
"So the police officers from the University of Commerce were on an inspection."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Shang Chang'er was annoyed with him, so she slapped his arm, and instantly several pairs of eyes shot over to her.
Are they flirting?
"This weather is awful today, it's so cold."
As Shang Chang'er spoke, she rubbed her arms again. She wasn't usually that cold, after all, she had cultivation, but just now she suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, which was a bit strange.
Lin Yi chimed in, "It is indeed strange. It shouldn't be snowing so heavily at this time of year, and there was no warning whatsoever."
"Maybe it's the Snow Fairy!"
Shang Chang'er asked earnestly, and Lin Yi immediately perked up, asking, "Snow Demon, what is that?"
"This is what my master told me when I was little. It is said that there is a very powerful monster called the Snow Demon. Where the Snow Demon passes by, it will snow heavily."
Heavy snow brings disaster to people, so they dislike the snow demon and drive it away with firecrackers and bonfires. The snow demon is most afraid of loud noises and flames; once it's driven away, it won't snow anymore.
Lin Yi: "..."
Are you telling me a fairy tale?
"This is obviously a scam to fool children, and you still believe it?"
Hearing Lin Yi mock her like that, Shang Chang'er immediately lost her temper.
"I'm not lying to kids, it really exists!"
Seeing her looking up at him with such a serious expression, just like a child, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, if you say it exists, then it exists."
"you!"
Shang Chang'er was furious and said angrily, "If you don't believe me, I'll go and find the Snow Demon for you right now!"
"Oh no, I don't want to see another heavy snowfall."
Lin Yi quickly calmed the child down, but Shang Chang'er was still angry, muttering under her breath, "Yes, I am! Do you still think I'm a child?"
Taking advantage of the situation, Ah Qi urged the child to leave quickly. She didn't want to stay by Jiang Linglong's side any longer; she never knew when she might be discovered and stabbed again.
This was a perfect opportunity to lure Shang Chang'er away by using the Snow Demon incident.
"Snow demons do exist, but these monsters are weak and timid, and they like to hide in the mountains. The only place nearby is Lushan. Go and look for them; you might find something. I guarantee Lin Yi will be impressed."
Ah Qi exploited Shang Chang'er's competitive spirit and her desire to show off in front of Lin Yi; this approach was always effective.
In addition, she is now highly trusted by Shang Chang'er, so Shang Chang'er will not easily doubt her anymore.
Actually, there was no snow demon at all; she just wanted Shang Chang'er to go into the mountains to hide from Jiang Linglong.
Sure enough, Shang Chang'er was immediately swayed by Ah Qi's enticing words.
"Just you wait, I'll go find the Snow Demon for you right now!"
Chapter 260 Shang Chang'er's Great Adventure Begins
Lin Yi naturally didn't take Shang Chang'er's words, which sounded like a child's petulance, to heart.
After settling the people in need of help in Xingsha City, Lin Yi led his group home.
Only Qu Jing stepped forward, saying that she was going to take up her post at the Jingye Division. She had promised Guan Buping that she would become the chief constable of the Jingye Division, and naturally she could not go back on her word.
Lin Yi then pretended to go back with Jiang Linglong, and then secretly followed her. While using Qu Jing to lure Qianhuan Guiji, he was also protecting her.
On the other side, Shang Chang'er followed A Qi's advice and headed straight for Lushan after leaving the city.
In Ah Qi's opinion, hiding here is the best option.
Jiang Linglong is currently in the city, so there's no reason for her to wander around and end up at Lushan.
Once Shang Chang'er can't find the Snow Demon here, he can trick her into staying a few more days. Jiang Linglong can't stay in Xingsha City all the time. After some time, she will be safe.
As soon as she left the city, Shang Chang'er saw a girl who looked frail, pitiful, weak, and helpless, staring blankly in the direction of the city.
Her white dress blended perfectly with the color of the snow, and she almost didn't notice it.
When a girl is out and about alone, no matter how delicate she may seem, she is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
These are the rules that Shang Chang'er's master taught her.
We don't lie to the elderly, children, or women.
The purpose of setting this rule is twofold. On the one hand, it is to restore the most basic conscience of scammers. The elderly, children, and women are almost all vulnerable people. To be able to prey on these people is to say that they have lost their most basic humanity.
On the other hand, it's for their own protection. The elderly, women, and children are the weak, so why can they walk independently outside? They must have some skills. If you don't know their strength, don't provoke them.
Besides, the elderly may have children, the woman may have a husband, and the child may have parents. If you deceive them, won't the people behind them come looking for you and take revenge?
So when Shang Chang'er saw the other person for the first time, her subconscious thought was to avoid him and pretend she didn't see him.
However, the way the other person looked at the city made her feel a little sorry for them.
Shang Chang'er had already passed her, but then turned back and asked, "Miss, what are you doing standing here? The weather is fine now, but it might snow heavily later!"
If it's just a random snowfall, it might not snow again after the weather clears up. But if there really is a snow demon, and another heavy snowfall occurs, this girl will be in trouble outside the city.
Even if it doesn't snow, it's not safe for a girl to be outside the city.
"I'm waiting for someone."
The girl's voice was gentle, and as she gazed at the city, her eyes were full of stories.
Shang Chang'er was at an age where she was full of romance, and looking at the girl's appearance, she thought that the girl might be heartbroken.
Feeling sorry for him, he asked again, "Why are you waiting here instead of going into the city?"
“He hates me. If I go into the city, he will be unhappy. I will just wait for him here.”
Hearing these words is heartbreaking. Who could possibly leave such a girl in the snow?
"Young lady, who are you waiting for? Why don't you tell me his name and I'll go find him for you? I know Xingsha City very well."
She was already quite angry; if she found out who it was, she would definitely go over and teach them a lesson.
What conflicts can't be resolved through proper communication? How can you let a girl suffer in the cold outside!
"Thank you for your trouble, but it's not necessary. He wouldn't like me going to see him."
Shang Chang'er was somewhat confused. Had this girl committed some unforgivable mistake? Otherwise, why would she be so heartless?
She couldn't help but ask, "Why did this person treat you like this?"
“It was my fault. I wanted him to be with only me, but he couldn’t bear to part with those other women. In a fit of anger, I scolded them, and he got angry and didn’t want to talk to me anymore.”
"This is outrageous!"
Shang Chang'er was instantly furious: "How could there be such a man! Girl, tell me who this person is, I'll go and scold her awake!"
"do not want!"
The girl resolutely refused, saying, "I've already made him angry. If I continue like this, he'll hate me for the rest of his life. Let's just forget it. You go ahead and I'll wait for him here. He'll eventually leave the city. I'll just catch a glimpse of him from afar, and that will be enough."
Shang Chang'er: "..."
There are such foolish women in the world, but her infatuation is so heartbreaking.
Shang Chang'er was filled with resentment. Although she felt that the man the other party had chosen was extremely unreasonable and not a good man, since the other party was unwilling to give up, Shang Chang'er couldn't bear to see her waiting on the snow like this.
Who knows when that person will leave the city!
With a thought in mind, Shang Chang'er said, "How about this, you come back to Jingye Division with me. When I go on patrol, I'll secretly take you with me. I guarantee you won't be discovered. Then you can tell me who you want to see, and I'll take you there. You can just take a look at them and leave. How about that?"
Shang Chang'er was quite confident in her disguise skills. She would help this poor girl disguise herself and let her secretly glance at that person, which should make her give up.
"Young lady, why are you willing to help me like this?"
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
As she spoke, Shang Chang'er was about to take the other party back to Jingye Division. A Qi immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Weren't you going to find the Snow Demon?"
"No rush, we won't be able to find them anytime soon, and even if we do, we might not be able to get rid of them. It's more important to help the person in front of us first. Girl, come with me!"
Ah Qi: "..."
This girl is sometimes silly and sometimes clever; she's really a handful for the devil.
But Shang Chang'er had already made up her mind, so she couldn't persuade her any further, lest her purpose become too obvious.
Anyway, Jiang Linglong hadn't noticed her before, and now that Shang Chang'er is just taking people back to Jingye Division, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Just when Ah Qi was about to give up, the girl in front of him suddenly made a suggestion: "Miss, you must have something to do when you leave the city. Taking me back might delay your business. It's already dawn, and I might be discovered if I enter the city. Why don't I go with you to do your business, and then we can go back together afterwards?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Chang'er agreed.
This way, neither end will be delayed, and with her help to cover it up, it can also do this little favor for the poor girl, preventing her from being discovered.
"In that case, let's go to Lushan. You should know some martial arts, right?"
"I have learned some rudimentary spells."
"Alright, let's go together. Once we reach Lushan, we'll find the Snow Demon and come back. Even if we can't find her, we'll definitely return before dark. I guarantee you'll be able to see your sweetheart tonight."
"Thank you very much, young lady."
The girl's gentle smile made Shang Chang'er feel that everything she had done was worthwhile.
What kind of heartless person would abandon such a warm-hearted girl!
"Oh, by the way, young lady, I haven't asked you your name yet!"
"My name is Lin Ling."
