218: No bottom line!
Spring came and went.
Xu Xian ran to the home of this Young Miss named Bai Suzhen every day. Oh right, Bai Suzhen also had a younger sister named Xiaoqing.
Although Xu Xian appeared very eager and began pursuing Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing always seemed to be at odds with him.
Of course, Xu Xian knew clearly in his heart that Bai Suzhen was merely a stepping stone for him. Achieving fame and success was very costly; one needed to grease the palms of officials to go further.
Bai Suzhen, this wealthy young lady who had money but lacked social experience, became the best stepping stone in his eyes.
Chu Mo saw all of this clearly, including what Xu Xian was thinking at the time.
He was an eyewitness and a witness.
He could not change the direction of events; he could only witness everything from the perspective of a first-person bystander.
"Bai Suzhen is very beautiful, but this Xu Xian only cares about fame and fortune in his heart. To him, all beauty is just fleeting smoke! His goal is truly very clear. It's just that this Bai Suzhen is too love-struck; she can't even see this. On the other hand, the bystander Xiaoqing noticed something, but she only realized that Xu Xian wasn't sincere..."
The events continued.
Xu Xian continued to pursue Bai Suzhen relentlessly.
Xiaoqing kept causing trouble.
Until one day, they encountered something.
A sloppy Daoist with considerable cultivation noticed that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were snake demons.
The sloppy Daoist restrained his own aura, pretending to be an ordinary, swindling fake Daoist, carrying a flag that read: 'One divination calculates three lifetimes, a Daoist immortal among wine on Kunlun Mountain.'
The content on the flag was quite arrogant, but anyone who had their fortune told knew that the more arrogant the writing, the more fraudulent it was.
This person was, most likely, a Jianghu swindler.
The sloppy Daoist walked closer and bowed to Bai Suzhen and her companion. The gesture was decent enough, but he lacked even half a shred of the demeanor of a high-level Daoist master.
"I see black energy on the foreheads of both Young Misses. If this poor Daoist has not calculated wrongly, both Young Misses will face a bloody disaster today!"
"..." Both of them were rendered speechless by this clichéd opening line.
Xiaoqing placed one hand on her hip, "Who are you cursing, you swindler? If you block our path again, be careful, or I'll make sure you have a bloody disaster!"
The sloppy Daoist smiled without speaking, simply taking out a turtle shell and three copper coins from his robes.
"If the two of you do not believe me, I can cast a divination for you. Don't worry, I won't charge money!"
The sloppy Daoist stuffed the three copper coins into the turtle shell. While shaking it, he revealed a mouthful of large, yellow teeth with bits of vegetable leaves stuck in them.
Xiaoqing's face darkened, and she was about to leave.
Bai Suzhen held her back, then looked at the sloppy Daoist and smiled lightly: "Daoist, there is no harm in calculating. If the calculation is correct, our sisters will reward you handsomely!"
Actually, Bai Suzhen had seen through the Daoist's act early on. She didn't expose him on the spot because she wanted to see what kind of tricks he wanted to play.
There was also the fact that Xu Xian had arrived, and it was not appropriate to fall out with the Daoist just yet; if a fight broke out, it would be difficult to conceal things.
The sloppy Daoist thought he had tricked the two of them. While shaking the turtle shell, he was already chanting a spell.
Just as he was preparing to perform Daoist arts to subdue the two demons, he was stopped by Xu Xian, who had cut in halfway.
"What are you doing? If you are telling fortunes, then tell fortunes. Why are you bringing out weapons? Although there is no one else around West Lake right now, I am watching. In broad daylight, under the bright sky, do you intend to commit murder and harm people?!"
Although Xu Xian did not understand why the sword behind the Daoist was moving on its own, he could see that the other party wanted to harm Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.
This was his chosen target; how could he hand her over to someone else?!
After all, he had already put in so much effort.
The sloppy Daoist was stunned when Xu Xian exposed him on the spot, and he cursed inwardly: Why did I have to run into such a blockhead!
Seeing that he had been exposed, the sloppy Daoist stopped pretending. He pressed down on Xu Xian, and the magic sword on his back shot out with a 'whoosh'.
"Kid, you are having terrible luck today. After I deal with these two snake demons, I will settle the score with you!"
Having said that.
The sloppy Daoist wielded his sword and began to fight with Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing. Although they were mindful of Xu Xian's presence and did not use their true forms, the sloppy Daoist truly had strength.
His masterful sword-controlling technique, combined with the Talisman in his hand, allowed him to barely hold his own against the two.
Both sides fought from the ground to the lake surface, from the lake surface to the sky, and from the sky back to the ground.
Xu Xian, a mere Mortal, was stunned on the spot watching the immortals fight.
At the same time, other thoughts emerged in his heart.
That was to marry the powerful fairy in front of him and trick her into revealing the Cultivation Technique that the storytellers spoke of.
"This Xu Xian has the potential for the Demonic Path!" Unfolding from Xu Xian's perspective, seeing what he saw and knowing what he thought.
It must be said that this person was a guy who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and his acting skills were also first-class.
The sloppy Daoist was no match for the two and naturally was defeated. At this moment, Xu Xian hurriedly stepped forward to show concern for Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, constantly trying to gain favor in front of them.
Although Xiaoqing still despised this guy, the fact that he didn't run away and stayed there made her think more highly of him.
The subsequent events were indeed as Chu Mo had thought.
Xu Xian continued to pursue Bai Suzhen and eventually won the beauty's heart.
It must be said that although Xu Xian was not a good person, he was definitely a good seedling for the Demonic Path.
Because.
He possessed all the characteristics of the Demonic Path.
It was just a pity that Bai Suzhen never wanted to teach Xu Xian a Cultivation Technique. Even when Xu Xian begged bitterly, saying he wanted to stay by Bai Suzhen's side forever, she still refused to relent.
Standing from Xu Xian's perspective, Chu Mo could see Bai Suzhen's heart wavering, but Xu Xian was human, and Bai Suzhen was a demon.
If a human rashly cultivated a demon's technique, they might easily suffer from Qi Deviation and die suddenly.
Unfortunately, Xu Xian was just a Mortal and did not understand these things, and because of this, he began to hold a grudge against Bai Suzhen.
Since he couldn't get anywhere with Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian decisively changed his target and began to bombard Xiaoqing with sugar-coated bullets.
Having experienced this, even Chu Mo had to say: "Scum!"
This damn "scum" wasn't even enough to describe him.
At the very least, although he labeled himself as part of the Demonic Path, he couldn't do something so shameless.
However, their affairs here were eventually exposed.
Fahai, having come out of Leifeng Pagoda, came to the Mortal World in Hang City to temper his Heart-Nature. If he failed, he would return to Leifeng Pagoda for quiet cultivation until the golden Buddha of White Cloud Zen Master arrived.
He saw at a glance that the residence was filled with surging Demonic Qi.
He immediately flew into the courtyard, intending to subdue the two snake demons, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing!
"Great Strength Heavenly Dragon, World Honored One Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Pama Hum!"
He attacked with the Great Strength Heavenly Dragon right away, showing no mercy at all.
