I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 402 What's wrong with messing with you?
Li Yan looked at Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian with a look that said, "You're all sick."

"Fine, fine! So not wanting to be in a relationship means you two are secretly in love, right?"

"What a narcissist, you shrimp-headed girl!"

"I could say you guys aren't dating because you have a crush on me!"

Mei Mengqian's face flushed instantly, and her heart skipped a beat.

It felt like being caught red-handed, with all my hidden secrets exposed.

Jiang Yingzhu's face was tense, as if she were talking in her sleep.

"That's hilarious, you're the narcissist!"

As she argued back, she felt her heart racing.

She was a little afraid to look Li Yan in the eye, and even felt that her voice sounded a little different when she spoke.

"I am not, you are!"

"You are!"

"You are!"

Before Mei Mengqian could even feel that her thoughts were being spied on, she discovered that Li Yan and Zhuzhu had already started arguing.

The childish behavior drew strange looks from passersby.

She was speechless.

Listening to their back-and-forth, she decided to break the childish argument.

Pointing at Li Yan, he said, "Li Yan is a childish brat!"

"You are."

"Hmph! Refusing to admit it to the death, you arrogant little brat!"

Mei Mengqian crossed her arms, looking like she knew exactly what was going on with you.

Jiang Yingzhu, who received support, wholeheartedly agreed.

"Mengmeng, you used the word 'little devil' wonderfully, I love it!"

"Holy crap, what kind of name is that? Two little devils!"

Jiang Yingzhu and the other woman blushed instantly and immediately retorted.

Li Yan retaliated without mercy, holding his own against two opponents.

The three argued, while the others went from watching the spectacle to becoming numb.

Just then, from the distant senior high school group, a person walked against the flow of people.

Wherever he went, the crowd automatically parted, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Hua Junshu ignored the stares directed at him.

His gaze locked onto Li Yan and his two companions, and he walked straight over.

As soon as I got close, I heard things like "female little devil" and "male little devil".

The three people were arguing with each other.

That seems a bit silly.

Hua Junshu silently evaluated the situation in his mind, his face expressionless.

At this moment, Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian saw their senior arrive and stopped arguing with Li Yan.

"Senior, what brings you here?" Jiang Yingzhu asked, puzzled.

Hua Junshu glanced at her and said directly:
"Li Yan said I was bored and could come and walk with you guys, so I came."

Li Yan nodded. "Senior, it would have been better if you had come earlier. There was a big battle just now, which you didn't see."

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian's expressions turned strange.

Hua Junshu simply nodded, completely unconcerned about how interesting what had just happened was.

It seems that walking with Li Yan is already a very enjoyable thing.

She walked naturally alongside the three of them, completely ignoring the gaze that Li Ping was casting at her from not far away.

At the same time, her gaze swept over everyone in Class One.

The coldness in her eyes was even more intense than that of Lin Aoshuang, and neither boys nor girls dared to meet her gaze.

Hua Junshu noticed that some people were unnaturally swinging the branches in their hands, which puzzled him.

"Why are all the people in your class carrying tree branches?"

“That’s a sword, senior,” Jiang Yingzhu corrected. “We are all swordsmen.”

“Hmm.” Hua Junshu didn’t argue with her and looked at the Buddhist temple in the distance.

"Want to go in and take a look? I've never been inside before."

Sometimes fate works like that, even though they had climbed Feiyun Mountain many times.

I have visited the Taoist temple on the mountain many times, but I have never been inside this Buddhist temple, which is also located on the mountain.

"Let's not make exceptions."

Jiang Yingzhu scratched her head. She had visited a temple in Caiyun once before.

Although she had a good time, it didn't give her a sense of transcendence.

"Buddhist temples are just so-so, they always feel rather unreal. Taoist temples are much more simple and natural," Mei Mengqian agreed.

Li Yan didn't care. "Anything is fine. Would you like to go in and see for yourself, senior?"

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Here it comes, it's the senior's direct approach.

"Then I'll tell the homeroom teacher, and we'll go in." Li Yan himself hadn't been inside before, even though he had seen it countless times with his divine sense.

However, everyone has curiosity, and he was curious too.

Since the senior student wants to go in, it's fine to go in and take a look with her.

I imagine the senior student must have been bored hiking alone with no one to talk to.

As he spoke, Li Yan waved to the homeroom teacher, and the two of them headed towards the Buddhist temple.

Jiang Yingzhu quickly said, "Wait, I'll go too."

"I'm going too!" Mei Mengqian shouted and immediately followed.

The homeroom teacher is practically useless.

He stared wide-eyed as the group entered the Buddhist temple.

The group of students, witnessing this scene, began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"The class monitor and the others went into the Buddhist temple."

"Could it be that they're praying for a marriage partner?"

"Who has three people seeking marriage?"

"That's true, Qingya, why don't we go in and take a look too? Anyway, the homeroom teacher didn't stop us earlier."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingya hesitated for a moment, but Lin Yufan had already pulled her toward the temple.

Li Ping, who had been in hiding, suddenly appeared.

"Lin Yufan, Yu Qingya, what are you two doing?!"

"Teacher, let's go see Buddha."

Li Ping thought for a moment; both of them were top students with scores above 600.

Not wanting to say too much, he stretched out one hand.

"If you don't come back in five minutes, you're punished by having to write a 10,000-word reflection!"

The ten thousand words crashed down on them, and the two men shrank back, nodding repeatedly.

"I understand, teacher!"

Yu Qingya said something, grabbed Lin Yufan, and ran off with her long, shapely legs encased in black leggings.

She's already reported it and made her promises. If she can't be there in person to witness the drama, she'll be devastated!

After seeing Lin Yufan and the others go inside, Yu Bing and Guo Cailing also reported their arrival and went in.

As a result, more people became restless.

“Teacher, we want to go in too,” Ye Daijia said.

"Me too, teacher, me too!" Qin Ning raised his hand, wanting to go in and draw a fortune stick.

Li Ping glared, his imposing gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"How many points did they get! How many points did you get? Those below 60% shouldn't even think about getting in!"

Your IQ is so low, even Buddha would find you lacking in wisdom! You'll embarrass me inside. All of you, stay where you are and wait!"

After Li Ping finished speaking, he looked at Ye Daijia.

"Ye Daijia, what are you doing going in there? Trying to ask Buddha for blessings?!"

Upon hearing this, someone burst out laughing without restraint.

Ye Daijia blushed; he really did want to have his fortune told.

"I'll deal with you when we get back!"

After a moment of humility, a few who had initially regretted not being able to draw their swords immediately began to wield them.

Xiao Shuai and the others stood on the grass at the temple entrance, cut down a few shrubs, and asked:

"Brothers, we've done something to clean up Buddha's image. Will Buddha thank us?!"

"That depends on how good the temple is," Zhang Wei said. "If it's effective, maybe."

"How can you tell if a temple is effective?" Xiao Shuai asked, then noticed that Zhang Wei remained silent.

Ma Liang, however, relentlessly slashed at the Blue Silver Grass, seemingly courting death, saying as he cut the grass:

"Sincerity brings results, but I can't tell whether it works or not, but I can definitely tell if it doesn't."

“Those who are obsessed with money are definitely not effective. The monks there haven’t attained enlightenment.” Yu Bin nodded in agreement. “Indeed, they package faith as a commodity, using it as a tool to exchange for money. It’s more like they believe in money than in Buddhism. If even the believers don’t believe, how can we, as pilgrims, believe?”

A group of people were talking loudly at the entrance of a temple, and even the young novice monk guarding the gate was sweating profusely.

The students there reported these things!

Inside the temple, Li Yan led a few people on a tour of the main hall.

The temple is a bit small, but the main hall is indispensable.

They offered incense, but unfortunately, the famous scene of Li Yan bowing down and the Buddha's golden statue cracking did not occur.

They went to check the pool again and found it was indeed full of copper coins.

"What would happen if I secretly took a few?" Jiang Yingzhu asked.

"A few will be secretly shorted."

Li Yan said calmly.

"cut!"

Hua Junshu then carefully examined the money.

"It doesn't look like a real copper coin."

"Whatever, let's go, there's nothing to see here."

Jiang Yingzhu shook her hand and turned around, and they saw Yu Qingya and the others acting suspiciously behind her.

"Silly!"

Jiang Yingzhu made her assessment, and with a sudden dash, she grabbed the four people before they could react.

"Zhuzhu, we didn't do anything."

"Yes, we just came in to take a look at the temple."

Jiang Yingzhu didn't believe it; her sharp eyes had already seen through the true nature of these people.

The group left the temple and followed the main procession down the mountain along the winding mountain road.

The road down the mountain was flat. Jiang Yingzhu glanced at the baseball cap on Li Yan's head and clicked her tongue.

"It would have been great if you had brought your skateboard."

"I'll bring it up so you can skate?" Li Yan glanced at her sideways. "Naive."

Jiang Yingzhu snorted and ignored him.

Upon seeing this, Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu smiled faintly.

I got back to school from the back street, it was a little past five o'clock, and get out of class was over.

During the evening break, Li Ping took He Shen and Ye Daijia away, and told the rest of them to disperse on their own.

Jiang Yingzhu pulled the three of them along, saying they were going to eat at a fried skewer stall they had seen before.

So the four of them continued walking along the street.

When I got to a spot about a hundred meters from the school gate, I found that the stall was gone.

"Strange! Where did they go?"

Jiang Yingzhu glanced at the telephone pole in front of her; she remembered that she was under this telephone pole.

"It must have been moved to another place, right?" Mei Mengqian said.

Li Yan didn't speak, but pursed his lips.

Hua Junshu analyzed, "The inward flow of customers is not large, so could it be that they are going outwards?"

"Then let's look again."

Jiang Yingzhu nodded and then turned back outside.

After walking for a while, I was suddenly drawn to a quarrel.

A dozen or so steps ahead, a burly, fierce-looking man wearing a thick gold chain roared at the old woman selling vegetables on the ground:
"You old hag, get out of my way!"

"What are you doing? Why are you swearing at me!"

"Get lost! Believe me or not, one phone call from me and I'll confiscate your stall!"

The old woman's pupils contracted; these vegetables were all grown with great difficulty by her.

They packed up their stall early in the morning, and once they packed up, it was all over.

The old woman said in a pleading voice:
"I'll move a bit, please don't report me!"

Her family doesn't have much income, so they can't afford to lose these vegetables.

Even if they don't sell, they can still last for a few more days.

If it gets confiscated, all the hard work of those months will be gone.

The burly man with the gold chain sneered, "Get lost, don't bother my notices."

As he spoke, he skillfully pulled out a lost dog notice from the file bag he was holding and pasted it on.

It was posted on the utility pole where the old woman had just been leaning.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two frowned as they watched this scene.

"Could this guy be the one who dares to run my fried food stall?!"

"It's highly likely. There were also lost dog posters on the telephone pole at that stall before." Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian nodded.

Then, Li Yan walked towards that man.

The two were taken aback, and followed with some concern.

Li Yan then came up to the notice that the man had just posted and took a look.

"Brother, are you looking for a dog? I just saw one that looks exactly like it."

Jiang Yingzhu and the others were puzzled when they heard this, not understanding why Li Yan would help such a person.

And they hadn't seen the dog before.

The man with the gold chain was delighted and looked at Li Yan.

"Young man, you really saw it? Where is it?!"

"Over there," Li Yan said with an air of certainty, pointing with his hand.
"I'll take you."

After saying that, he started jogging.

The man with the gold chain ignored everything else and immediately jogged to catch up.

Li Yan looked like a student and didn't seem like a bad person, so he felt very reassured.

And he even brought three pretty female students with him; it's obvious he's just trying to show off!

He knows it very well!
Jiang Yingzhu and the other two followed behind. After running a few steps, they saw Li Yan leading the man with the gold chain for a while before suddenly turning into an alley.

As soon as they entered, they saw Li Yan pointing to a lost dog poster on the wall on one side of the alley.

He said to the man with the gold chain, "Look, isn't this dog exactly the same as the one from before?"

The man with the gold chain: ? ? ?

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two burst out laughing.

"Damn it! You little brat, you dare to mess with me!" the man with the gold chain roared.

"So what if I'm teasing you?"

Li Yan curled his lip, "I'm going to hit you too."

Before Li Yan could even make a move, a voice suddenly rang out from behind Jiang Yingzhu and the other two.

"and many more!"

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two turned their heads and saw that Cheng Yuan had also arrived at the alley entrance at some point, staring coldly at the man with the gold chain.

The man with the gold chain laughed and spat.

"Damn it, a bunch of high school kids, they think they can beat up your grandpa?! Back in my day, you guys..."

"Well--!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, flew out, and crashed hard into the wall.

Then it fell like a lump of mud.

Cheng Yuan stared wide-eyed at Li Yan, who was slowly retracting his leg, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

No way, Li Yan is that good at fighting?!

He quickly regained his composure and said to Li Yan:

"I'll handle this."

"No need, there are no surveillance cameras here, and the cameras on the street outside are broken," Li Yan said calmly.

The man with the gold chain glared menacingly, inwardly disdainful of Li Yan's words.

Even if the surveillance cameras are broken, he has plenty of ways to find evidence.

Just you wait, you'll lose everything!
After their initial surprise, Jiang Yingzhu and the other two came to their senses.

After all, Li Yan often moved things, such as tea trees and large stones for carving.

They've already witnessed her strength.

It was Cheng Yuan's appearance here that was somewhat unexpected.

As the group left the courtyard, Jiang Yingzhu asked curiously:
"Cheng Yuan, do you have any connection with that old woman from earlier?"

"No," Cheng Yuan shook his head. "But my grandmother used to sell vegetables before she got sick."

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two fell silent, but Cheng Yuan seemed quite relaxed.

He waved and left.

Meanwhile, Mei Mengqian began to worry about the man with the gold chain taking revenge.

"Li Yan, are the nearby surveillance cameras really broken?"

"Don't worry, I have the power of money."
