"Zhaoxi, you don't look good. Do you want me to hire someone to take care of you?"
It was the weekend, and no one asked her out, so Li Qianfei decided to visit her friend, Lin Zhaoxi. Although she and Lin Zhaoxi were not in the same class, they hit it off right away.
When she first entered the school, her reputation was at its worst. Her classmates believed the online comments about her being a jinx, so they distanced themselves from her and isolated her. This made Li Qianfei very angry, but there was nothing she could do. Under these circumstances, she got to know Lin Zhaoxi.
If it was in the past, Lin Zhaoxi, who came from a poor family, would definitely not be qualified to be her friend. But after those bad friends distanced themselves from her, her existence undoubtedly became precious. Li Qianfei accepted this kindness and often hung out with Lin Zhaoxi. She didn't want others to feel that she was isolated and didn't even have a friend.
Moreover, Lin Zhaoxi's personality was a bit like her mother's, gentle and strong. Even Li Qianfei would unconsciously speak more gently in front of her. After knowing that Lin Zhaoxi was pregnant, she thought of her mother.
Her mother was also pregnant at around this age. She was alone abroad and gave birth to her and her brother.
Under this kind of empathy, Li Qianfei was especially loyal and considerate to Lin Zhaoxi. She was worried that Lin Zhaoxi's pregnancy would be discovered by her roommates, so she rented a house near the school for her and even lent her money so that she could take care of her body. After all, Lin Zhaoxi came from a poor family. She was an orphan and lived under the roof of her uncle and aunt's house. Even her university tuition was earned by her own work.
Even if Li Qianfei's pocket money was deducted, it was a small matter for her to take out 10,000 yuan to help Lin Zhaoxi every month. 10,000 yuan was not even enough to buy her a dress.
"No need, Chien Fei. Don't waste that money. You've already helped me a lot. " Lin Zhaoxi looked at her gratefully. "If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"Being able to meet you is the luckiest thing in my life. If you hadn't been helping me, I might not have been able to keep my child." She sighed. "You're such a nice person, but those people on the Internet keep slandering you. It's too much."
Li Qianfei enjoyed it very much. It was as comfortable as drinking iced drinks during the hottest days of summer. He even felt a little light-headed.
"In fact, you can go to the child's father. The child's father also has the responsibility to take care of you." Li Qianfei felt injustice for her.
Lin Zhaoxi shook his head. "He already has a wife and children. I don't want to disturb his family. We were just an accident. "
This familiar story made Li Qianfei feel even more immersed. She felt as if she was looking at her mother from 18 years ago. At that time, her mother was probably as helpless and pitiful as Lin Zhaoxi. She could only struggle alone in a foreign country.
She couldn't help but blurt out, "Even if he has a wife and children, he has already made you pregnant. He has to take responsibility. Tell me, who is he? I'll help you seek justice! "
At this moment, instead of saying that she was helping Lin Zhaoxi, it was more like she was fulfilling her own wish.
Lin Zhaoxi shook his head desperately. His expression was gloomy. "It's really not necessary. I don't want to get involved in his family. I chose to keep this child because I hope that there will be a family member who is related to me by blood in this world. "
Li Qianfei looked at her with a touched expression. Her mother must have wanted to keep the two of them back then for the same reason. Li Xiao even mocked her mother for doing it for money. She didn't understand love at all, just like Xu Manqin.
Because she found a strong resonance with Lin Zhaoxi, Li Qianfei came here more often. The relationship between the two girls was getting better and better.
Li Qianfei even invited Lin Zhaoxi to her 18th birthday party. Although she was not as favored as before, she still had her mother. Her family would still arrange a birthday party for her.
Lin Zhaoxi's eyes flickered. "Okay."

Li Xiao arrived at the foot of Yunmiao Mountain in the afternoon of October 3rd.
When she saw the familiar scenery, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
The driver who drove her here spoke Mandarin with a local accent. It sounded very bad, but there was a different kind of simple enthusiasm. "When you want to go back, you can call me. I'll take you to the city." He even gave his phone number to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao thought that it would be difficult to pick up customers here, so she paid the driver two thousand yuan to send her here. The driver was naturally happy to take her business and didn't mind that this place was remote.
Li Xiao wrote down the number, nodded, and asked the driver to leave first.
In the car, she also asked the driver if he knew about the Yunxiao Guan on Yunmiao Mountain. According to the driver, Yunxiao Guan was a thing of ten years ago. Since the owner passed away, there was no one in the Taoist temple and it gradually became dilapidated. There were other temples and Taoist temples in H City. Over time, people gradually forgot that there was such an old Taoist temple.
She had to admit that after knowing about this, Li Xiao felt very complicated. In this world's Yunxiao Guan, there was no such thing as her successor.
According to the normal speed of climbing, it would take more than an hour to reach the Taoist temple at the top of the mountain. Moreover, there were stairs everywhere, so climbing up was very difficult.
However, Li Xiao knew that there were other shortcuts up the mountain. She grew up on this mountain and was familiar with every part of this mountain as if it were her own body. If she took the stairs, there was a chance that the Zeng Lünian would set up traps nearby.
According to her guess, the last place the Zeng Lünian stayed was that Yin Cave.
She walked along the southern path, passed through the thorns, and arrived at a forest of locust trees. Many people didn't like locust trees because they felt that this kind of tree could easily attract ghosts. The locust tree in the middle was more than five hundred years old. It was tall and straight, and its tallest branches and leaves reached into the clouds. This was also the tallest tree on Yunmiao Mountain.
Li Xiao walked under the locust tree and squinted her eyes to look for that circle — Ah, found it!
She scratched a circle of white stripes on the branches.
The locust tree shook, and its branches and leaves trembled non-stop. That place was originally the most sensitive place for this old demon.
Li Xiao took out a bottle of wine from her bag. It was Jian Nanchun that she had spent a lot of money to buy. It was also the locust tree spirit's favorite wine. That's right, this locust tree spirit usually liked to drink old wine, and Jian Nanchun was his favorite.
"If you don't say anything, I'm going to pour this wine away. This is thirty-year-old Jian Nanchun." Li Xiao opened the bottle, and the rich aroma of the wine spread out, causing the drunkard to become restless. The sparrow spirit breathed in the wine and almost got himself drunk.
"Don't pour it away!" The locust tree spirit finally couldn't hold back and opened his mouth. A somewhat depressed old face appeared on the tree trunk.
"Girl, how did you know that I like to drink this?" He looked at the Jian Nanchun and almost drooled.
Because in a certain world, she had known them for more than ten years. When she was young, the locust tree spirit would make his branches into a swing. That was her favorite toy when she was young.
After Li Xiao transmigrated, she didn't come to Yunmiao Mountain because she knew that no matter when she came, they would be there. The spirits of Yunmiao Mountain were the laziest. They didn't even like to go down the mountain. They were like paintings on the wall. Time seemed to have stopped for them.
Li Xiao said, "We met in a dream. In the dream, not only did I know you, but I also knew Grandpa Bai Hu, Red Fox … "
She listed out the names of the spirits on the mountain. The sparrow spirit didn't want to be outdone. "And me! I know you too! "
The locust tree spirit heard the names of all the spirits in the mountain and couldn't help but be surprised. Many of the spirits mentioned by this girl didn't even come out once a year. Other than the elders, no one knew so much about them.
"Climbing the mountain is too tiring. I want the snake spirit Ah Lu to carry me up the mountain." Ah Lu was a huge python spirit. She liked to dress up beautifully. This time, Li Xiao had brought a lot of cosmetics over, all for her.
"I also want to find the bat spirit. His ears can hear very far. Everything that happens on the mountain can't be hidden from him."
Li Xiao prepared blueberries as a gift for the bat spirit. That was also the bat spirit's favorite food.
She opened the suitcase. It was full of things that these spirits liked.
The ghostwood tree spirit began to believe her words a little. As a spirit that had lived for hundreds of years, he had heard a lot of strange stories, such as the dream of the Nanke and the Three Thousand Worlds. Perhaps this girl really knew them in their dreams. Otherwise, how could she even know the things that they liked? She was practically delivering them to their hearts. When he saw her, he also felt a sense of familiarity.
The locust tree spirit couldn't help but ask, "What if we don't agree?"
The next second, he saw the girl in front of him, who was more beautiful than the Chinese roses on the mountain, smile brightly.
"It's okay if you don't agree. I know where each of you hides your treasures. At most, I'll just rob you."
"If you rob me, I'll beat you up. It'll be fine as long as you're convinced." She had made friends with them in the same way back then.
The locust tree spirit: "!!!!!"
*****
The Zeng Lünian sat in the cave, greedily absorbing the Yin Qi leaking out of the crack.
After a while, he opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The backlash from before was quite serious. Even though he had been recuperating for a long time, his injuries were still not completely healed. Chien Fei was still too useless. He had placed the scale on her, but it had been taken away. Instead, it had caused him to suffer the backlash. The reason why he hadn't used it himself was because directly absorbing someone else's luck would easily cause negative karma, which would be detrimental to his future cultivation. Normally, he would only steal a portion of Chien Fei's luck to cultivate himself. Fortunately, he had done so. Otherwise, he would have suffered more than just this injury.
Although the Zeng Lünian loved Chan Ka-yin, this love was limited to Chan Ka-yin herself. He wouldn't extend his love to her and Lê Nam Giệu's son and daughter. Thus, he never regretted scheming against Chien Fei. At most, he was annoyed that he hadn't done it more secretly.
When he thought of the impending arrival of Li Xiao, his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
He had already ordered the ghosts he had raised to stand guard on both sides of the path. As long as Li Xiao came to the mountain, his every move would be seen by the ghosts. He had also set up many formations at the entrance of the cave. As long as Li Xiao stepped in, he would be like a bug in a spider's web, unable to struggle free. The fresh blood of a cultivator should be able to widen this crack.
This way, he would be able to cultivate better and slaughter those who were chasing after him.
He had stayed in Remote Cloud Mountain for almost a year, so he knew it very well. There was only one entrance to the Yin Cave. No matter what, Li Xiao would have to pass through the area where he had set up the formations.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. In the next second, he heard the rumbling of thunder. How could there be thunder in this weather? Was his luck that bad? Was it because of the backlash from his luck?
He raised his head in shock. In the next second, the thunder directly struck the Yin Cave. The Zeng Lünian hurriedly dodged the sudden lightning. He could no longer maintain his calm posture.
The ground under his feet also shook. The soil above his head began to crack, and many rocks fell down. He managed to dodge the lightning with great difficulty, but he couldn't dodge the rocks. A fist-sized wound appeared on his forehead, and blood flowed out.
He hurriedly wiped away the blood flowing down, but his ears were still buzzing and he saw stars.
With a bang, a large hole appeared on top of his head, and a figure jumped down.
"Zeng Lünian, eat my staff!"
