Guardian disciples might seem pitiful at first glance. They looked like menial disciples who served tea and did chores for the Saintess.
However, that was not the case.
Although they did have to deal with various matters for Qi Zixiao, they also worked in shifts in six groups, so they could still cultivate most of the time.
Apart from that, those who could become the Saintess were all prodigies with great luck!
Following the Saintess would naturally bring many benefits …
Moreover, even if it was a guardian disciple, his status was much higher than that of an ordinary inner court disciple. Therefore, this position was very popular.
Chen Cheng and the others had tried their best to become guardian disciples.
But now, the Saintess wants to test us?
Could it be that our cultivation is too slow and the Saintess is a little angry?
If that was the case, wouldn't they be kicked out of the guardian disciples if their cultivation insights were not good enough?
Hiss!!!
At this thought, Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining, who were on shift this month, felt their scalps go numb …
They had to complete it as soon as possible and make no mistakes.
They immediately made a decision and sent a message to the other ten guardian disciples who were cultivating at the same time.
Then, the twelve guardian disciples who belonged to the Saintess got busy.
…
In the room, Lin Fan lay on the bed with his legs crossed, leisurely and carefree.
"Sure enough, I'm smart most of the time."
"Won't I be able to gain something without risking anything with this method?
I can get their cultivation insights and methods of controlling True Essence from them. By then, I'll be half a cultivator ~ "
"Wonderful."
The more he thought about it, the happier he became.
Was it boring to stay in the room all the time?
It was quite boring, but what could he do?
Rice had to be eaten mouthful by mouthful, and the road had to be taken step by step. It was easy to get into trouble if he was too reckless.
When it was time to be humble, he had to be humble.
…
At the same time, in the modern world, Qi Zixiao got into a taxi.
Qi Zixiao was not so surprised when she felt that the space inside the car was completely different from that of a bus. She was more curious about how this car worked.
It would be nice to build one in the Holy Land of Zifu.
"Where are we going?"
Seeing that the passenger was silent for a long time, the driver was confused.
"Swan Lake."
As if waking up from a dream, Qi Zixiao stated her destination.
She was going to try cultivating the Soft Water Body at Swan Lake.
Not long after, they arrived at Swan Lake. She tried to scan the QR code for the first time and found that she could get off the car with a beep. This made her think of many things.
"So it's that simple?"
"Then if I want to buy clothes …"
Shaking her head, Qi Zixiao tossed these thoughts aside for the time being and strolled by Swan Lake.
Swan Lake was a man-made lake in C City. There weren't any swans living there. It was close to the forest, and the lake water was clear.
There were many people fishing by the lake.
Qi Zixiao watched for a while, but she didn't want to join them.
Then …
He climbed up the guardrail.
"What the hell!?"
A fisherman noticed Qi Zixiao and couldn't help but exclaim, "Little brother, what are you doing?!"
The fishermen around him all looked over.
"Swimming?"
"You don't take off your clothes when swimming?!"
"F * ck, he's going to commit suicide!"
They were all anxious. They threw away their fishing rods and ran over, trying to persuade him.
"Little brother, life doesn't always go your way, but as long as you're alive, there's a tomorrow. There's a beautiful future!"
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. If there's anything, we'll help you …"
"Come down first …"
They were running wildly. They were almost halfway through the two-hundred-meter distance.
However …
Qi Zixiao turned around and glanced at them. She felt a little strange.
These people were making a fuss. Who were they talking about?
Someone was going to commit suicide?
Seeing Qi Zixiao turn around, the fishermen were even more excited. However, Qi Zixiao frowned slightly.
"So be it. Cultivation is more important."
She decided not to delay any longer. She turned around and jumped …
"Ah!!!"
Splash …
In the eyes of the fishermen, a young man disappeared in an instant. He sank directly into the water without even struggling.
"F * ck!!!"
"So decisive?"
"Is his heart dead?!"
"What should we do?
Who's a good swimmer? "
"Call the f * cking police!"
"You guys call the police. I'll go down first!"
There were many kind-hearted people …
Amidst the anxious and shocked cries, some called the police, and some began to take off their clothes, preparing to jump over the railing and into the water to save the young man.
After a short while, the three of them jumped into the water with a splash.
However, after diving for nearly a minute, they did not even find a trace of the young man!
"What the hell, where is he?!"
"Did he sink to the bottom of the lake?!"
"F * ck, I heard that the bottom of the lake is dozens of meters deep …"
"He's been diving for almost two minutes, but he hasn't shown his head. I'm afraid …"
Everyone's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
In their opinion, the young man must be dead …
An ordinary person could hold their breath for one minute. Two minutes?
Unless they practiced professionally, not many people could do that.
In other words, the young man was most likely dead.
"Don't give up. Try again!"
Someone encouraged them …
The three of them desperately dived again. In the end, they still did not find anything …
Hualala …
They splashed the water, and their faces were pale.
On the shore, a fisherman's face was solemn. "Brothers, come up first. It seems that the young man really wanted to die …"
"Come up first. It's basically hopeless even if we find him now. Let's wait for the police to come …"
…
Not long after, the police arrived.
After understanding the situation and checking the nearby surveillance cameras, they immediately began to organize people to 'rescue' the young man after discovering that he had indeed jumped into the lake to commit suicide.
Although it was called a rescue, everyone knew that it was more appropriate to call it a 'corpse salvage'.
Then, the salvage boat and ambulance arrived.
Whether it was symbolic or humanitarian, at least everything was in place.
The salvage began …
However, after half a day, they still did not find anything.
The police were dumbfounded!
"Where is he?
If he's alive, we need to see him. If he's dead, we need to see his corpse, right? "
"That's strange … We can't salvage him!"
"He probably sank to the bottom of the lake. The salvage boat can't salvage all the places so quickly. Sigh, it's a pity that he's a young man."
"Yeah, let's get the ambulance back first. Even if we can salvage him, he's already cold …"
"We'll wait here. There's only such a man-made lake. I don't believe that we can't salvage him!"
…
On the surface of the lake, the salvage boat was in full swing.
At the bottom of the lake, Qi Zixiao controlled Lin Fan's body to sit cross-legged like a statue. He had long stopped breathing, allowing the water to wash him and the fish to touch him.
Suddenly …
A net swept over, trapping him within it!
