41: Love is a light, so beautiful

"host, why are you doing this?"

The System was very curious.

"You should know, Lin Yi and Lu Gui are in a foster father-son relationship, like Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu."

"Now that Liu Ruyan is with me, I need to find them a new Diao Chan. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu can't be without Diao Chan, just like the 3D zone can't be without Tifa."

The System seemed to understand, yet not.

She only knew that the gazes between Old Madam Liu and Lin Yi were practically spinning silk threads.

The two were secretly exchanging glances, very much attracted to each other.

Old Madam Liu even managed to steal a moment to wink at Lu Gui.

As expected of Old Madam Liu, an ancestor-level figure who had lived for an unknown amount of time, her actions were methodical, and she didn't fall behind even when dealing with two men.

As everyone was about to leave, Lin Yi suddenly remembered something and, ignoring the fact that Medical Immortal had just slapped him, ran up to Medical Immortal and said, "Old Man, didn't you say you'd help me with my Senior Sister's matter?"

Although he had fallen in love with Old Madam Liu under the influence of the matchmaker's red thread, he still harbored ill intentions towards Jiang Wanqing and Liu Ruyan.

Even with his 'old treasure,' he couldn't forget his Senior Sisters.

Besides, he had to get back what he suffered from that Pretty Boy.

Lin Yi also wanted that Pretty Boy to experience the taste of being driven out.

Upon hearing the address "Old Man," Medical Immortal's veins bulged, but slapping him again would only make him a laughingstock. He composed himself and said,

"How do you expect me to help you?"

To treat the injury from the slap he just received, Lin Yi pulled out the Ghost Gate Needle and, still clothed, plunged it into his anus, saying,

"Just help me teach that Pretty Boy a lesson. I want him to know that living off women isn't that easy."

"Heh heh." Medical Immortal chuckled, "Very well."

The Jiang Family members hadn't gone far. Medical Immortal, unhurried, walked over with the demeanor of an expert and stopped them.

"Wanqing, I heard that Lin Yi was kicked out of your house after only staying for one day?"

"Young people are easily deceived by others, I understand, but don't make the same mistake twice."

As an elder, his tone was calm, as if he was just making small talk, yet the implied meaning in his words was clear to everyone.

The aura of the first stage of the Three Stages of the Saintly Path, the Tribulation Crossing stage, emanated from him.

Jiang Lin quickly tried to smooth things over, but Shen Qing stopped him.

"I asked him to leave. After all, staying too long easily invites gossip. Does the elder disagree?"

"If you have any opinions, you can tell me. I'm not easily deceived."

Listen to him prattle on and on?

Shen Qing had no such intention.

As he spoke, a cold light flashed.

Swish—

Medical Immortal touched his neck and head in surprise, confirming they were still attached, cold sweat pouring down.

His eyebrows, beard, and even his hair were shaved off.

A smooth, bald head, like a braised egg.

Immortal... the sword qi unleashed by an Immortal?!

Medical Immortal didn't dare to move a muscle at this moment, fearing that sword qi would strike him again and his head would be removed.

Until he saw the crimson, jade-like sword at Shen Qing's waist.

"I... I didn't know Immortal Lord Zhao's esteemed disciple was here. It was my presumption."

Knowing it wasn't an Immortal present, his heart grew even more anxious.

If an Immortal were truly present, and he hadn't directly offended them, perhaps they, being great, wouldn't hold a grudge against a small person and would let him go.

But this was Shen Qing, Immortal Lord Zhao's disciple. He wouldn't just let things go, nor was he a 'great person' in this context. He was the junior.

No matter how you looked at it, this matter was him threatening a junior.

Thinking of this, Medical Immortal frantically pulled out various items from his storage ring.

Precious elixirs, magic treasures, cultivation techniques, his own medical books... he took them all out in one go.

"What is Senior doing?" Shen Qing chuckled lightly, casually handing the items to Ning Zhenzhen: "Senior's love for his son is understandable, but one cannot spoil him."

Ning Zhenzhen quietly reminded him from the side, "Senior Brother, it's love for his disciple. Lin Yi has two fathers, but neither is related to Medical Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Medical Immortal felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife.

Pfft!

It was extremely heartbreaking.

No matter how soft the voice, Medical Immortal was still a cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing stage, the seventh major realm, with only one more to go until Eclosion; how could he not hear it?

"Then I won't disturb you all. I'll be leaving first."

With that, after Shen Qing nodded, Medical Immortal quickly left without looking back.

There was no other way; when under someone's roof, one must bow their head.

If he hadn't had that sword, he might have been more defiant, but that crimson, jade-like sword could directly kill him. If he were any more defiant, his life would be gone.

This caused the Jiang Family members to marvel.

The Medical Immortal, who had just been so arrogant, actually ran away like a dog?

"Old Man, how was it?" Seeing Medical Immortal return, Lin Yi quickly asked, then exclaimed in surprise, "How did you turn into a braised egg?"

"Shut up!" Medical Immortal slapped him.

Bang—

Lin Yi fell to the ground, disbelieving.

The second time, he had hit him a second time.

Clearly, he had done nothing wrong both times.

At this moment, Lin Yi's mindset underwent a slight change.

He felt that with his divine eyes, even if Medical Immortal didn't take him as a disciple, he could still make a name for himself. But without him, to whom could Medical Immortal pass on his skills?

Yet, Medical Immortal had inexplicably slapped him twice in one day!

"That person is Shen Qing, Immortal Lord Zhao's disciple. I warn you not to provoke him again in the future, or you will surely die."

Medical Immortal's tone grew heavier.

He was truly scared.

But to Lin Yi, it only sounded like this Old Man not only didn't help him but also chickened out.

He chickened out against someone of a similar cultivation realm!

On the other side, Lu Gui, who had left with the Liu Family members, found a green magic treasure on the ground—a hat.

The moment he saw this green hat, he felt that this item was fated for him, and it seemed to contain the true meaning of the Great Dao. Lu Gui quickly put it away... The next day.

Liu Family.

Lu Gui had just finished being intimate with Old Madam Liu.

At this moment, he wore that green hat on his head. Lu Gui found that wearing this magic treasure made his mind much clearer.

Lu Gui was overjoyed when he discovered that Old Madam Liu had the same feelings for him, but after it was over, he felt guilty again.

After all, his official fiancée was still Liu Ruyan. How was he going to explain this to Ruyan?

Feeling guilty, he only realized he was in front of Liu Ruyan's room after he came to his senses.

He suddenly wanted to say something to Liu Ruyan.

Knock knock—

"Ruyan, are you in there?"

A long time passed, but no sound came from inside.

"Not in?" Lu Gui wondered.

Knock knock—

He raised his hand and knocked on the door again.

This time, a sound did come from inside. Liu Ruyan suddenly gasped, as if trying to cover something up, and loudly said, "I told you not to call me Ruyan!"

"Cough cough, my apologies." Lu Gui rubbed his nose, smiling wryly, "Miss Liu, I'd like to talk to you. Could you open the door?"

"You and I, mmph—!"

Suddenly, Liu Ruyan seemed to choke.

"Ru... Are you alright?" Lu Gui asked with concern.

"Cough!" Liu Ruyan gasped, "I'm fine."

Lu Gui's face turned green. That voice sounded... no, it couldn't be.

My wife is pure and virtuous!

The hat on his head seemed to emit a green light.
