The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 108 Beast Tide 10

Just as everyone was at a loss, a cunning voice came from outside: "Sir, it's true, they're the ones who killed my brother! Arrest them immediately!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but Cheng Jiu hadn't encountered this person in the previous episodes and didn't recognize him.

Gong Yu slowly retreated to Qin Che's side and nudged him, saying, "Hey, your husband is here!"

Qin Che's face turned from green to purple, then back to green again.

The man was clearly surprised to see Qin Che: "Wife, what are you doing here?"

Qin Che's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, as if he had eaten something inexplicable.

The people nearby gloated.

The man was dressed as a guard and led a group of soldiers into the hall. At first glance, you could see the big boss in the center with blood oozing from his chest, and two women crying beside him.

"How dare they commit violence in the city? Who did it?"

With no scruples whatsoever, Miyagi pointed at the big boss's brother and declared, "He hired the assassin!"

"You're talking nonsense! Your Honor, please see the truth. He's my brother. How could I hire someone to kill someone? These thieves must be trying to shirk responsibility by making baseless accusations! Please arrest them!" The big boss's brother denied it outright. So what if it was him? These people had no evidence.

"I've heard you're the top assassins of the Listening Heaven Pavilion! A sixth-grade Star Lotus—I want his life! Once I've gotten my revenge, I'll offer it to you."

"He seems to be your brother."

"So what if he's my brother? That damned guy is always so arrogant, relying on his superior talent to act all high and mighty. Who does he think he is? He deserves to die!"

……

The room fell silent; even the guards who had come to arrest him were looking at him.

Meanwhile, the younger brother's gaze was fixed on the Sound Stone in Miyagi's hand. They were assassins, after all; how could they record a transaction? Did they have no ethics whatsoever as assassins?

"Fine, he's your brother, why are you treating him like this?" The big boss's wife pounced on him, baring her teeth and claws, and sat down on the big boss's brother.

As mentioned earlier, the big boss's younger brother is in poor health and has not recovered yet; he is a match for the big boss's wife.

As he struggled, he cried out to Qin Che, who was watching the scene unfold, "Wife, save me! Wife, save me!"

"Your husband is begging you for help!" Gong Yu said cheekily.

"You're still his daughter!" Qin Che retorted, deliberately bringing up a sore spot: "Didn't you also not go to save her?"

Gong Yu felt disgusted and thought, "As expected of Senior Brother Qin Che, he has no bottom line."

"What a pity, I'm a fake daughter! I'm not the one who can be saved!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the real daughter, who showed no reaction, merely watching coldly while shrinking behind Cheng Jiu.

Cheng Jiu himself was completely confused about the plot involving a girl and a boy falling in love; it was as if a new setting had suddenly appeared.

That sense of disconnect!

Gongcheng stroked his chin: "Senior Brother Feng really has a wide range of interests. I remember this should be the plot of a newly released storybook!"

"A storybook!" Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly realized. "Could it be that 'Star Lotus Fate'?"

“For example, Ye San and Ye Shisi, the comedic assassins of Tingtian Pavilion.” Gong Cheng pointed to himself and then to Huo Yan next to him.

"As a result, the two of you killed the early boss."

"The protagonist is Li Buxi!"

"What a terrible plot!" Cheng Jiu complained, remembering what the novel "Star Lotus Fate" was about.

Before his parents died, Li Buxi had never cultivated, yet he still managed to reach the level of a powerful figure. The powerful figure greatly appreciated him and bestowed his daughter upon him, making them in-laws. The powerful figure gave him money, gifts, and even a beautiful woman, which Li Buxi couldn't refuse. He was also comforted, thinking that his parents must want him to have a better life, and then he forgave them.

On the eve of the wedding, the big boss's wife loudly proclaimed that the two were actually siblings, thus stopping the wedding banquet.

But at this time, the two were deeply in love, and Li Buxi was greatly hurt, so he chose to escape and go out to gain experience.

Along the way, he encountered various spiritual stones, beautiful women, and elixirs, which gradually soothed the wounds in his heart.

During one of his trials, the big boss found him again and said that he had never had a one-night stand and that he must be his younger brother's son.

Li Buxi still couldn't accept that his former wife had suddenly become his cousin, but when he thought of his bedridden father, he felt a pang of sorrow and pain as a son and went with his uncle to see his father.

Then, his father was overjoyed and proud to see Li Buxi, the outstanding son sent by his brother, especially knowing that Li Buxi could now be compared to his brother. He felt incredibly proud and thought he had finally surpassed his brother.

Originally, he placed a large order with Tingtian Pavilion to take his brother's life, but now that his son is so outstanding and his brother only has one daughter, he feels it's completely unnecessary.

He wanted his brother to see his outstanding son and envy him. The thought filled him with excitement, and he cancelled his repeated failed orders.

Seeing how outstanding her husband's illegitimate son was, the younger brother's wife felt extremely threatened, especially since Li Buxi's biological mother might not have died, after all, she had only been driven away by the older brother's wife.

Perhaps out of respect for Li Buxi, the two will rekindle their relationship!

In order to compete with Li Buxi, she suddenly revealed a secret.

It turns out that she had switched her daughter with her brother's wife's daughter, but now that she sees her brother's wife's daughter has grown into a beautiful young woman, she wants to switch them back.

Li Buxi knew that this matter had suddenly gone through a dramatic ups and downs.

The good news is that his ex-wife wasn't his cousin. The bad news is that she was his father's biological sister.

The bad news is that he once dated his younger sister; the good news is that they didn't get married.

Amidst great joy and sorrow, Li Buxi chose to focus on cultivation, believing that the path to immortality was far superior to the pursuit of worldly pleasures.

As for Yingyue, she plays a conman who heard from somewhere that the big boss's family has a Star Lotus, which is extremely precious and can transform one's body and improve one's aptitude by eating it.

He was born with poor aptitude, so he wanted to eat the Star Lotus to be reborn.

He also heard that a young master had been left behind by the big boss's family, so he chose to impersonate him.

The big boss never suspected anything in the early stages, because in his eyes, the swindler's lewd appearance was exactly the same as his brother's.

On the contrary, Li Buxi believed that his younger brother and sister-in-law could not have produced such an outstanding child. Therefore, he did not believe his wife's claim that the two were siblings at all, and even considered confronting Li Buxi to say that it was all a misunderstanding.

Unexpectedly, Li Buxi escaped so quickly. Afterwards, he kept looking for Li Buxi, not wanting to miss out on this promising son-in-law.

As a result, his search was repeatedly thwarted by this swindler, and he gradually became suspicious. In the end, he sought out people from the Tianji Sect to see if this swindler was indeed his brother's son.

When the swindler learned that he had gone to the Tianji Sect and that he had not found the so-called legendary Star Lotus, he thought it was just a rumor circulating in the martial arts world and ended up swindling him.

He escaped before the big boss could settle accounts with him.

Unable to find Li Buxi, the big boss flew into a rage and began searching for him again.

Of course, this also involves the farce of his brother's hired assassins repeatedly failing to kill him for various reasons.

In the end, his brother was relieved, and the big boss felt that his brother had finally made something of himself.

His brother's wife also realized that a genius like Li Buxi could be a help to her daughter. Moreover, because the two had a past relationship, Li Buxi felt very guilty towards her daughter. As long as her daughter was used as an excuse, Li Buxi would not refuse.

Although Li Buxi couldn't be with her daughter under these circumstances, she gradually began to look at him as if he were her son-in-law, finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.

The story ends with the family living happily together.

Ah!

No one died, and everyone was at peace.

All of this stemmed from the Star Lotus that the big boss's father fed him when he was young, which transformed him completely.

One of the brothers, who were originally of average talent, underwent a dramatic change in aptitude, and his strength improved rapidly. As a result, a rift developed between the two brothers, leading to this series of events.

In the end, the big boss announces that Li Buxi will become the head of the family in the future and feeds him a star lotus.

Although it didn't suit Cheng Jiu's taste, it sold very well. It mainly targeted those with poor aptitude, especially those who struggled to cultivate after the age of fifteen!

After all, the protagonist, Li Buxi, only started cultivating after the age of 15. He gradually transformed from a useless person into a genius in order to avenge his father. He also received help from benefactors, which ultimately led to the improvement of his aptitude.

Who wouldn't want to experience that feeling?

Just like Cheng Jiu had experienced before, the feeling of leveling up was really addictive, especially since the author's writing was quite good.

So the current situation is that the person who had the most plot development in the early stages was suddenly killed by those two comedic characters.

Originally, this part was about the younger brother bringing guards to carry out a double-cross, having the guards capture the two assassins, while he, having found someone to avenge his brother, would rightfully inherit the family business.

When he arrived and found his brother still alive, the younger brother immediately turned into a clown, severely reprimanding the two useless assassins and sending two more to kill his brother.

But now they're all playing the role of a bunch of old fogies, not following any rules.

According to the plot, Qin Che doesn't know Li Buxi yet, and it's not time for him and Gong Yu to appear!

As for why the big boss's wife was present, it was because Cheng Jiu and Ying Yue spread the word and it reached the big boss's wife's ears.

Cheng Jiu believes that the big boss's wife would not marry her beloved daughter to a poor boy, and she does not want to marry this young lady.

Cheng Jiu's main thought was that since he had slaughtered her village, she was determined to make him pay with his own blood.

But the plot unfolded like a ghost story. If she married the so-called big boss's daughter, what reason would she have to take revenge in the end?

Could she really forgive him for this reason? That's too dramatic. Cheng Jiu can't accept it, so she chose to secretly sabotage the marriage.

Yingyue's main idea was to take her place. If Cheng Jiu really married that young lady, a son-in-law would be like half a son. How could she then infiltrate the group and deceive Xinglian?

So the two haven't gotten married yet; it's just a verbal agreement. But the big boss's wife showed up just in time and revealed some inside information.

As a result, the plot in the middle and later stages became mixed up all at once, and Qin Che and Gong Yu advanced the plot and arrived here.

This resulted in a scene where the three of them were grabbing the horse.

As a result, at this awkward climax, the most important character from the beginning was killed by the one who was originally the source of the comedy.

Oh no, the plot has completely fallen apart!

After reviewing the plot, and seeing the two still arguing and the guards who were about to pull them away, Gongcheng and Huoyan cleverly slipped away and ran away.

As soon as the two ran away, the two NPCs who were fighting each other immediately stopped what they were doing and ordered the guards to arrest them.

One felt that the matter had not yet spread widely enough and that her plan was likely to succeed, while the other wanted to avenge her husband. The two enemies immediately stood together at that moment.

The guards couldn't catch up, so they had to give up and said they could issue a warrant for his arrest.

He carefully sketched the exterior of the palace, intending to have the portrait artist supplement the description based on the sketch when he returned to the government office. However, he couldn't remember the other person at all!

Were there two people there just now? The guard scratched his head: "How many people ran away in total?"

"Two, I hired two in total!" the younger brother said honestly.

"You still say your brother is so good to you, and you treat him like this? You're heartless!" The big boss's wife put her weight on his waist.

"Ah!" The big boss's brother's eyes bulged out of their sockets from the pain.

"How many people did you say there were?" The guard thought carefully, and in the end, the only person he could think of was the palace.

The Boss's wife, thinking carefully of the man who killed her husband, said decisively, "There was only one! And another one," she pointed to Gong Yu beside her, "I heard that woman call that assassin 'brother,' and the two seemed very close. They're in cahoots!"

Gong Yu, who had been leisurely watching the show, was suddenly dumbfounded. Wait, wasn't he supposed to be playing the script for the other party's daughter? And Senior Brother Huo Yan has such a low profile, amazing!

The guards led a group of men over: "Then this young lady, please come with us!"

"I'm so sorry, sir! My daughter has always been a bit slow-witted; she calls everyone 'brother.' I can guarantee she has absolutely no connection to that assassin. She's lived in the countryside since childhood and only left the village today. How could she possibly have known that assassin?"

Qin Che, with a forced smile, pulled Gong Yu along and placed a stack of documents with a spirit stone in the guard's hand.

Gong Yu wanted to retort that someone was out of their mind, but Qin Che winked and said, "Are you really going to go with them?"

Gong Yu shook his head, realizing what was happening. Although he was dissatisfied, he swallowed his words.

The guard touched the spirit stone tucked under the document and carefully examined Gong Yu: "He seems a little dim-witted!"

Gong Yu's eyes widened. Who isn't smart!

Just as he was about to rush forward to argue, Qin Che held him tightly: "Sorry! He's having another episode, I'll take him downstairs right away!"

The guards looked at Qin Che with sympathy. Being a mother is not easy!

After the two had walked a distance, Gong Yu said with certainty, "Senior Brother Qin, you definitely did it on purpose!"

"Junior brother, you're malicious, but don't assume everyone is a bad guy! I'm not!" Qin Che might have a bit of a bad intention, but could he admit it? Of course not!

Gong Yu grumbled, he was just simple-minded but not stupid, and he didn't hold a grudge: "Senior brother, where do we go now?"

"We definitely have to go see the Star Lotus at Xinglianyuan. Aren't you curious about what the legendary Star Lotus looks like?" Qin Che asked.

"Then let's go quickly!" Gong Yu said impatiently.

The two speculated that the Star Lotus might be in the big boss's study, since in the original story, the swindler had turned the entire mansion upside down.

But nothing was found. So, excluding the places searched by the scammers, and selecting the places where the big boss often stayed, the most likely place was the study.

Halfway there, Gongcheng Huoyan and his companion, who had jumped down from the roof, joined the group.

"You guys didn't leave?" Gong Yu stared wide-eyed at her brother in surprise.

"What's there to be afraid of? They can't beat us anyway, and they won't be able to find us!" Miyagi said confidently. "We were just making a tactical retreat."
