Immortal Cultivation Simulation, I'm Not a Bad Woman

"So, to be honest, I don't actually have any inside information, and I have failed to live up to the expectations of the master and the seniors."

Xu Xianxian nodded.

Judging from the current situation, the other party should belong to a certain force and was sent to inquire about the Lin family's news.

Moreover, it seems that because I am too stupid, I have not found any useful information so far.

Then... let's take it first.

Xu Xianxian had an idea.

The long sword was unsheathed, and the sword energy hummed softly, like a clear cry rising from the morning peak.

The thief was so frightened that he could only stretch out his hand to block, but was instantly thrown away and hit a huge rock beside him.

"Ahem, Your Excellency..."

The thief was about to ask something when he saw Xu Xianxian's wrist flying and several sword energies coming straight at him. He dodged in a panic, and in an instant, the huge rock he had just leaned against was scratched with several deep marks.

Such brutal moves.

No matter how dumb this little thief was, he knew that there must be something wrong with the other party. He didn't dare to be negligent anymore. He pulled out two hidden daggers from his waist and fought with Xu Xianxian despite his injuries.

Lu Zhiqiu was in the distance. He took out a string of wrapped candied haws from his waist bag and started eating them lightly.

It's not that she is heartless.

Xu Xianxian is really a top-notch martial artist. It would be strange if he was in danger if he beat a petty thief who had just entered the second-rate level.

really.

Within twenty moves, the thief's two arms were crippled and he fell to his knees with a look of resentment on his face.

"I see your martial arts style is unlike any other in the martial arts world. Which sect are you from?"

The little thief said hatefully:

"You can kill me or chop me up as you please, but don't even think about asking me to betray my master!"

When they undertake such missions, they are strictly forbidden to use their own martial arts before going out, and can only use another set of unknown martial arts created by the leader.

Xu Xianxian carefully looked at the thief, then shrugged and said:

"Forget it. Interrogating people is so troublesome."

"Let's leave it to the Lin family. After all, this is their family business."

The little thief wanted to speak, but Xu Xianxian pressed his mute point, and he was speechless.

Afterwards, Xu Xianxian dragged the little thief to Lu Zhiqiu's side, put his hands on his hips and said with a smile:

"See, I told you I'm pretty good at martial arts, isn't it handsome?"

Lu Zhiqiu covered his mouth and chuckled:

"Okay, okay, from now on, my personal safety will depend entirely on you, the great master."

"But what should we do with this little thief?"

Xu Xianxian said seriously:

"Of course it should be handed over to the Lin family. After all, this man and the forces behind him are targeting the Lin family."

Lu Zhiqiu nodded.

……

into the night.

Lu Zhiqiu sat in the main hall of the Lin family, sipping the freshly brewed Songxue Lanya tea, feeling quite emotional.

She was a thief for half a month.

Now, I can finally enter the escort agency and become a guest of honor.

Soon, Lin and his son came in from outside:

"The interrogation is complete. This person is just like what this girl said. He is very stubborn and refuses to reveal the power behind him."

"However, I already have a few suspects in mind."

Xu Xianxian quickly jumped up from his seat and asked carelessly:

"who is it?"

Chief Escort Lin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"These are just my personal speculations. It would be irresponsible to speak out without thinking."

"However, no matter what, strengthening the guard and preparing for the enemy is always a good idea. I need to think carefully about how to protect the Fuwei Escort Agency in case of an emergency."

Lin Pingzhi was puzzled, tugged at her father's sleeve, and whispered:

"Protecting the Fuwei Escort Agency... is that so serious? Dad, you're a top-tier martial arts expert. Aside from the Five Sects and Seven Factions of the Central Plains, who else could easily destroy us? But the Five Sects and Seven Factions have no grudges against us, so why would they target us?"

Chief Escort Lin patted Lin Pingzhi on the shoulder and sighed twice.

My son is good in every way except that he is too stupid and too naive.

Of course, it was also because I didn't tell him the secret, so I couldn't blame my son entirely.

He turned around, looked at Xu Xianxian, clasped his fists and said:

"This young lady is quite skilled. At such a young age, she has already become one of the best in the martial arts world. I am truly grateful to her for what happened today."

Xu Xianxian waved his hand and laughed loudly:

"It's okay, it's okay. Actually, it was Sister Lu who heard about the thieves on the road. I went there to eliminate the evil and happened to run into the thieves. By chance, I discovered this conspiracy."

Chief Escort Lin was stunned, and quickly clasped his fists towards Lu Zhiqiu and thanked him out loud.

Lin Pingzhi was also a little surprised and said with emotion:

"Mr. Lu was in the school today and he was teaching us the principle that a gentleman should not be an instrument."

"You are clearly a scholar, but you are skilled at reading people's expressions and are quite interested in these rumors. That's why you were able to catch the news in time today and enable us to discover this conspiracy in time."

"Could this be the meaning of a gentleman not being a tool?"

Lu Zhiqiu smiled and nodded.

But she secretly rolled her eyes in her heart: You are wrong, young man, this is not a gentleman without tools, this is called cheating.

I will follow you through the design process with the reference answers in hand. How can it not work?

After a few more pleasantries.

Now that the matter was settled, Xu Xianxian decided to go home and prepared to take Lu Zhiqiu home.

But just as they walked out of the room, Chief Escort Lin called out to them again.

He looked at Xu Xianxian, cupped his hands and asked:

"This lady is also a top-notch expert. I am willing to pay her five thousand taels of silver to assist the escort agency once, within three months. Even if the situation remains stable after three months, the reward will be paid."

"Of course, if there's a need for your help within three months, you're definitely not expected to risk your life. Just do your best. If things become impossible at the last minute, you can always withdraw."

"If you agree, I can pay you a deposit of two thousand taels right now."

Xu Xianxian was a little surprised and asked uncertainly:

"With such good conditions, aren't you afraid that I'll just pretend to agree and take the two thousand taels and run away?"

Chief Escort Lin laughed and said:

"I've been able to maintain the reputation of the Fuwei Escort Agency over the years, half thanks to my martial arts skills, and the other half thanks to my eyes that can judge people."

"I believe in the heroine."

When Xu Xianxian heard this, he felt a surge of heroic spirit in his heart and immediately clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll help you with this matter!"

The Blue Clouds Make the Way to You: Chapter 8 The Storm is Coming

Another half month has passed.

It rained several times in Lincang City. Sometimes when Lu Zhiqiu didn't want to give lectures, he would recite poems to the students.

Talk about a lonely man in falling flowers and two flying swallows in the light rain.

It also tells the story of lying in bed late at night listening to the wind and rain, and dreaming of iron horses and frozen rivers.

Gradually, many people also fell in love with Mr. Lu's class.

Different from the old-fashioned pedant.

Mr. Xiao Lu is younger and naturally more outgoing. He has many topics to talk about with everyone and often expresses opinions that make everyone smile.

Regarding exams, Mr. Xiao Lu once said, "All day long, either you or I take the exam. What the hell is this exam for?"

Regarding conflicts, Mr. Xiao Lu once said, "If you lose a fight, you will be disabled; if you win, you will go to jail. When you have a grudge with someone, it is better to find ways to avoid direct confrontation, such as feeding his big yellow dog some aphrodisiac."

Regarding asking for leave, Mr. Xiao Lu once said, "People always like to reconcile. If you say you want to go home to sleep, the old headmaster will definitely not allow it. But if you report to the headmaster's wife that he has hidden some private money, then he will come to reconcile and allow you to ask for leave."

……

When the old principal of Lincang Academy first learned about Mr. Xiao Lu's nonsense, he was so angry that his beard almost became crooked.

But when he wanted to find Mr. Xiao Lu to argue, Xu Xianxian would always follow him, pretending to accidentally draw the sword, and then accidentally swing the sword to cut down a passing bird in the sky.

The old headmaster never interfered again.

He also praised Lu Zhiqiu on the spot for his wisdom, his unique way of interpreting the scriptures with his spiritual heart.

……

It was drizzling again that day.

Outside Lincang City, the layers of mountains look like ink-wash paintings, exuding a unique clarity and leisure in the haze.

In Lincang Academy.

Lu Zhiqiu held the purple clay teapot and slowly brewed tea, drinking tea while reading a book.

I have nothing to do today, so I might as well take a break.

She leaned back on the rattan chair, letting the tea smoke drift in the air, gathering and dispersing like clouds growing from a cup.

But the next moment, the cloud was blown away by the door that suddenly opened.

The visitor was panting.

"Mr. Xiao Lu, my father told me to inform Lady Xu that the Lin family might be in great trouble tonight."

Lu Zhiqiu's heart trembled.

Sure enough, what is supposed to come will still come.

What she looked up in the Book of Omens were major events recorded in years, so it was naturally impossible for her to know the specific month and day when they happened.

Her face remained expressionless, and she said seriously:

"Let's go, I'll take you to find her."

Soon, Lu Zhiqiu brought Lin Pingzhi back home. Seeing that they both looked serious, Xu Xianxian guessed something in her heart.

Seeing Xu Xianxian, a top-notch expert, right in front of him, Lin Pingzhi's uneasy heart calmed down a bit. He sorted out his thoughts and said:
