In front of a Taoist temple in Baiyun Mountain, an extraordinarily handsome young man in white was crying his heart out, "Master, I was wrong! I shouldn't have peeked while you were bathing, but I didn't see anything. More importantly, I didn't expect you to bathe so early in the morning. I'm more wronged than Dou E!"
"Get down the mountain. You need to experience the mortal world," a cold, sharp voice of a woman echoed from the Taoist temple. "If you don't bring back a wife for me, don't you dare come back!"
At the same time, a package flew out and landed beside Yang Feilong.
The next moment, the Taoist temple vanished as if it had never existed. What appeared before his eyes was a misty bamboo forest.
Yang Feilong was helpless. His master was truly angry this time, even activating a formation. His current mastery of formations couldn't even find the entrance to this formation, let alone enter it.
"Pretending to cry didn't work anymore. Master has truly grown up!" Yang Feilong wiped away his tears and sighed inwardly. Then, with a look of helplessness, he said, "Alas, Master, you're really making things difficult for your disciple. Finding a wife isn't that easy."
But there was no sound from within, clearly indicating her resolve.
Yang Feilong had no choice but to pick up the package his master had thrown out and prepare to descend the mountain.
"Wait a moment." Just then, his master's cold voice sounded again.
"Master, have you changed your mind?" Yang Feilong was overjoyed.
"I've found you a job at Blue Sea University. Go to Blue Sea University and find Li Weimin, the Dean of the School of Medicine. He will arrange for you to be a teacher!" After speaking, his master said coldly and then threw out another item, a pen. "This is your credential!"
Yang Feilong took the pen and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Master, I'm still a child. How can I be a good teacher at a university? Aren't those university students older than me?"
"Your medical talent is stronger than mine. If even they can't teach them," his master paused here. Yang Feilong rejoiced, thinking he wouldn't be able to teach and would be allowed to return. However, his master's next sentence stunned him: "Then I will sever our master-disciple relationship, and never see me again. I can't afford to lose face like this!"
"Master, don't be so resolute!" Yang Feilong said with a dejected face.
His master ignored him, her voice completely silent.
Yang Feilong could only helplessly hoist his luggage, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He shook his head and sighed, then began to walk down the mountain with heavy steps.
He had been on the mountain for over ten years. During these years, he had descended the mountain himself and with his master, so his mood each time he descended wasn't too bad. But this time was different because he knew he wouldn't be able to return to the mountain for a long time, and he was naturally extremely dejected.
To be honest, with his beautiful master accompanying him, Yang Feilong lived a carefree life on the mountain and didn't yearn much for the outside world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so sad!
A peerlessly beautiful woman, as white as snow, like a celestial maiden descended from the nine heavens, appeared out of thin air. Watching Yang Feilong gradually disappear from her sight, she whispered, "Don't blame me, my disciple. We've been together for ten years, and you've helped me through the hardest times. But I can't selfishly keep you by my side. You should see a wider world!"
*Whoosh!*
The next moment, her figure disappeared again, as if she had never appeared.
Yang Feilong glanced back. He had felt like he was being watched just now and thought it was his master. But when he looked, there was no sign of his master. He thought he was hallucinating and felt even more dejected.
...
The sun was shining brightly.
A BMW was driving on a mountain road.
The driver of the BMW was a beautiful woman around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. The woman in the passenger seat, though a bit younger, around nineteen, was also a stunning beauty!
"Yunxi jie, drive slower. The roads in the mountains aren't good," said the younger beauty, sounding a little scared.
"Lin Qiaoxi, can you have some ambition?" Lin Yunxi said with dissatisfaction. "You have to trust an old driver's skills!"
"You only got your license three days ago, and you're already an old driver? Don't fool me just because I'm young. I know an old driver needs at least a year of driving experience!" Lin Qiaoxi couldn't help but retort.
"Your knowledge is outdated. Nowadays, three days of driving experience counts as being an old driver!" Lin Yunxi scoffed disdainfully.
Lin Qiaoxi's beautiful eyes flickered, clearly not believing her. Suddenly, she looked ahead. "Cousin, someone is waving. It looks like they want a ride?"
"No need to say, I see it!" Lin Yunxi said helplessly.
The car stopped in front of the young man, narrowly avoiding hitting him, and then the window was rolled down.
Yang Feilong walked to the window and peeked at the two women, showing a smile he thought was friendly. "Two beautiful ladies, could I trouble you for a ride?"
It was too far from the mountains to the nearest public transportation. Walking would likely take until dark, and as for cars? Not a single one had appeared all morning. Seeing one finally, he naturally wanted to try his luck and hitch a ride.
"Put your package in the trunk first!" Lin Yunxi said with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you, ladies!" Yang Feilong said with a smile, then walked to the rear door of the car. Just as he was about to remind them to open the trunk, *whoosh*, the car sped away.
"Hey..." Yang Feilong was stunned. Three seconds later, he understood what had happened and said with a dejected expression, "Is it necessary to do this? If you weren't giving me a ride, you could have just said so. Is it fun to mess with me?"
He shook his head and put his backpack back on, walking forward.
Meanwhile, in the car.
Lin Qiaoxi was also stunned. A few seconds later, she said, "Yunxi jie, he hasn't gotten in the car yet."
"I know!" Lin Yunxi chuckled. "As a detective cousin, let me tell you something. In deep mountains and old forests, if you see people with flippant tones and fake smiles, you must be vigilant and careful. Perhaps he'll pull out a weapon from his pocket next second, subdue you, and then... well, you know!"
"Cousin, you're scaring me again!" Lin Qiaoxi glared at her cousin displeasedly, then wondered, "But he didn't seem like a bad person. He's so handsome and polite."
"Doesn't seem like a bad person? Handsome? Polite? Heh, that's all a disguise! This is why your cousin brought you on this road trip! The purpose is for you to see more of the world!" Lin Yunxi sneered.
*Bang!*
Just then, with a deafening roar, the car began to lose balance!
"Ah!" Lin Qiaoxi screamed.
"Not good!" Lin Yunxi was also petrified, her face pale. "The tire blew out!"
Lin Yunxi, as an old driver with three days of driving experience, was panicked but not completely irrational at this moment. As a police officer, she had been trained to remain calm and composed in emergencies.
"Hold the steering wheel steady, ease off the accelerator, and brake gently. Signal and pull over!" Amidst her panic, Lin Yunxi recalled some techniques for handling a tire blowout and calmly proceeded to apply them.
*Whoosh~~Chiz~~*
After the car was safely pulled over, Lin Yunxi patted her chest, breathing heavily.
"Cousin, I thought we were going to die just now!" Lin Qiaoxi's eyes were teary, her face pale with lingering fear.
"It's alright, it's alright, it was just a blowout!" Lin Yunxi patted Lin Qiaoxi's shoulder and comforted her. "Let's get out of the car first. Get out slowly so the car doesn't tip over! We'll be able to get back on the road after changing the spare tire."
"Okay." Hearing Lin Yunxi's words, Lin Qiaoxi nodded.
They got out of the car.
"Cousin, I feel like this is retribution for not helping someone earlier," Lin Qiaoxi said weakly.
"Don't believe in superstitions, believe in science. We just had bad luck," Lin Yunxi said irritably, pointing at the tire. "The tire must have run over a nail or something earlier."
Just as Lin Qiaoxi was about to say something else, she felt a slight stinging pain in her waist. A cold and sinister voice suddenly sounded, "Don't move, or my knife will pierce your body! *Swish*, your blood will bloom like fireworks, looking beautiful and magnificent!"
Another voice sounded from behind Lin Yunxi, cackling, "You don't move either, or I'll kill you!"
The two women then discovered in horror that there was an assailant armed with a deadly weapon beside each of them.
