Chapter 32: The Saintess Commits Suicide?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Guardian disciples were perhaps a pitiful existence at first glance. It seemed like their tasks were to serve the Saintess and run errands for her.
However, this was in fact untrue.
Although it was true that they had to serve Qi Zixiao, there were six groups on shifts so they had a lot of time to cultivate themselves.
Besides this, which Saintess wasn’t a proud daughter of heaven with overflowing luck?!
Whoever served under the Saintess would reap great benefits…
Even if they were guardian disciples, their identity and status were much higher than an inner sect disciple. Hence, this position was extremely popular.
Chen Cheng and the others had put in a lot of effort back then to successfully become guardian disciples.
But now, the Saintess wanted to test them!
Did she perhaps perceived that their cultivation was too slow, hence, the Saintess was angered?
If that was the case if their cultivation experience essay was not well written enough, would they possibly be kicked out of the guardian disciple ranks?
Tss!!!
At this thought, Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining who were on duty this month felt their scalps tingle…
They had to complete this task at once without any flaws.
They braced themselves and sent word to the other ten guardian disciples who were training at that moment.
Next, the twelve guardian disciples under the Saintess got busy.

Inside the room, Lin Fan was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, feeling leisured.
“As expected, I’m always so smart.”
“With this idea, I can reap the benefits without any costs! I’ll get the cultivation knowledge and innate qi control methods from them. When the time comes, I’ll be considered a partial immortal cultivator as well~”
“How wonderful.”
The more he thought of it, the more joy he felt.
Was staying inside boring?
It was quite dull but what else could he do? He had to eat slowly and walk gracefully. If he was a little brash, that would cause trouble.
So if the situation required him to live in hiding, he shall.
***
Simultaneously in the modern world, Qi Zixiao got into a cab.
As she experienced this difference in space compared to a bus, Qi Zixiao was not as shocked anymore. Instead, she was curious as to how this car worked.
It seemed like a good idea to have one of these in the Sacred Violet Manor.
“Where to?”
The cab driver asked with a confused expression after his guest was silent for a long while.
“Swan Lake.”
Qi Zixiao regained her senses and told him her intended destination.
She was prepared to cultivate the Fluid Body tactic at Swan Lake.
Not long after, they arrived at Swan Lake. Her first time scanning the QR code, Qi Zixiao realized that she could get out just after one beep. This got her thinking.
“So it’s this simple?”
“If I wanted to buy garments…”
She shook her head, putting aside these thoughts as she strolled beside Swan Lake.
Swan Lake was an artificial lake in C City. There were no swans here but there was a forest nearby and the water was clear.
Many people were fishing by the lake.
After watching for a while, Qi Zixiao had no intention of joining them.
After that…
She climbed onto the railing.
“Holy sh*t!?”
One of the fishermen noticed Qi Zixiao and inadvertently exclaimed, “That young mister, what are you doing?!”
The other fishermen beside him all looked over.
“Swimming?”
“Do you swim with your clothes on?!”
“F*ck, he’s trying to suicide!”
Getting anxious, they tossed their rods aside and ran over to advise Qi Zixiao.
“Young man, there are setbacks and misfortunes in life. But as long as we’re alive, there’s always tomorrow and a bright future!”
“Don’t be rash, you mustn’t be rash. If there’s anything, we’ll think of something for you…”
“Come on down first…”
They were rushing over and halfway through their two hundred meter distance.
However…
Qi Zixiao turned to glance at them, feeling perplexed.
Why were these people shouting? Who were they talking to?
Was someone trying to suicide?
Seeing Qi Zixiao turn, the fishermen became more agitated. However, Qi Zixiao frowned slightly.
“Just let them suicide. Training is more important.”
Deciding not to waste time, she turned back and leaped…
“AHH!!!”
Pssh…
Before the eyes of many fishermen, a fine young lad suddenly disappeared. He simply sank underwater without ever struggling.
“Oh my god!!!”
“Is he that decisive?”
“Has he given up completely?!”
“What do we do? Who here can swim? Go and rescue him!”
“F*ck, call the police, quick!”
“You guys call the police, I’m going in!”
There were many kind-hearted people.
After a round of panic and exclamations, some began calling the police while others started stripping, ready to climb over the railings for a rescue mission.
A little while later, three people had jumped into the water.
However, after diving for an entire minute, they could not see his body!
“This is creepy. Where is he?!”
“Could he have sunk to the bottom of the lake?!”
“F*ck, this lake is at least tens of meters deep…”
“It’s been almost two minutes since he jumped without surfacing. I’m afraid…”
Everyone’s hearts sank.
From their point of view, it seemed that the young lad was gone…
Being able to hold their breaths for one minute was good enough for an average person. Two minutes? Unless they had received professional training. Otherwise, not many people could do it.
In other words, that young man was most probably gone.
“Don’t give up. Try again!”
Someone encouraged…
Throwing caution to the wind, the three people dove once more but still failed to find him…
Splash…
They were hitting the water, looking upset.
By the bank, a fisherman with a solemn expression said, “Misters, come on back up. It looks like the lad is truly desired death…”
“Come back up here. Even if we find him now, he’s as good as gone. Let’s wait for the police…”
***
Not long after, the police arrived.
Once they had understood the situation and retrieved the nearby surveillance footage to affirm that someone had truly jumped into the lake to suicide, the police immediately formed a rescue team.
While they called it a rescue mission, everyone knew it would be more appropriate to call it a ‘corpse finding’ mission.
Subsequently, the rescue vessel and ambulance arrived.
One could call it formalities or be humanitarian, but at least they were all here.
The search began…
However, the search went on for half a day with no fruition.
Even the police were dumbstruck!
“Where is he? We should at least see his corpse if he’s dead, right?”
“This is weird… We can’t see him at all!”
“He must have sunk to the bottom. The rescue vessel can’t possibly have covered the entire place so quickly. Sigh, it’s just a pity that this young man is gone.”
“Yeah. Let’s let the ambulance go back. Even if we manage to find him, he should be gone by now…”
“We’ll be here to keep watch. This is only an artificial lake, I refuse to believe we can’t find him!!!”
***
On the lake surface, the rescue vessel searched vigorously.
At the bottom of the lake, with control of Lin Fan’s body, Qi Zixiao was sitting cross-legged like a statue that wasn’t breathing, allowing the water currents to flow past her and the fishes touch her.
Suddenly.
A net came hovering down, trapping her inside!
