The “challenging the established rules” that Chu Ge sensed was likely a relatively serious matter.
When Qiu Wuji said “I’ll smash your head” in front of everyone, it was a “character breakdown” that deviated from her established persona, which according to the author’s settings was “inappropriate.” However, the content of the book did not change; what changed was the real event, and that interference was interpreted as the intervention of the heavenly principles.
Just like the battle against the Poison Hand Devil Lord, where self-correction was applied to the deviation in plot.
As Chu Ge stared, Qiu Wuji also beca aware of sothing.
It was as if the laws of heaven were descending upon her, seemingly suppressing her “disrespect” and her “self” entirely.
Others may not have this direct perception, but they could feel a heavy pressure, like an impending calamity.
Soone exclaid with excitent, their voice sharp, “Qiu Wuji, what dark deeds have you done to incur heavenly punishnt?”
The crowd beca agitated.
This feeling truly resembled heavenly punishnt, or at least its precursor.
Qiu Wuji’s long hair swayed as she looked up at the sky. It was as if she could feel a pair of eyes in the clouds, coldly observing. Qiu Wuji glared back with a stern expression.
Then that coldness turned into astonishnt, and eventually into an indulgent smile, before disappearing with a “swoosh.”
The rain cleared, and the sky turned blue.
The crowd: “???”
Is even the heavens avoiding her?
Lord Xie, the City Lord of Yunxiao City, stood up, laughing heartily. “One should speak from the heart. Who said Sect Master Qiu must speak in a certain way? What a joke. Her words resonate deeply with .”
Qiu Wuji held her sword, clasped her fists, and gave a slight bow without saying much.
Her gaze remained fixed on the sky, where the smiling cloud had disappeared.
It’s like a cotton candy…
…………
Chu Ge snapped back to reality, facing the computer screen as before, with no misty mountains or Qiu Wuji.
This sensation is truly peculiar.
Well, so what if there’s a double standard? Other characters will face problems if they deviate from their character design, but Qiu Wuji won’t.
That is her persistence, and it is Chu Ge’s wish as well. Working together to break free from the “heavenly principles.”
By the way, does this count as seeing her? Although there hasn’t been any interaction, at least it can’t be considered a “eting,” maybe just a “gaze from afar”?
One thing that gave Chu Ge a headache is that this storyline focuses on Qiu Wuji. Within a few chapters, not even an hour may have passed in the tiline, and there’s no way to casually jump to “seven days later” like before.
It ans that it’s unlikely to see her before this storyline is completed.
It’s only been one night and one morning since they parted… Chu Ge’s longing for her is unstoppable.
Ah, the more he gazes into the distance, the more he misses her, wishing she would magically appear by his side.
Should he speed up this part of the storyline with more updates? But he was also worried that rushing too quickly might affect the quality… After writing all morning, his brain felt a bit stiff. If he wrote Qiu Wuji poorly, that would be a real loss. He needed to move a little, take a break.
Oh, right, checking the ti, It seems like there’s sothing he forgot…
Chu Ge scratched his head for a while before finally rembering that he forgot to return the bicycle… If he didn’t return it, he would lose the deposit. Ninety-nine yuan for just one night is already expensive enough. Did he have to spend two hundred and ninety-nine yuan to buy a broken bike?
Perhaps he should consider buying a new one for himself and ask Qiu Wuji for her opinion when she cos. Should he get a bicycle or an electric scooter? That way, their range of activities can be expanded.
He rode the bicycle back to yesterday’s place to return it. Chu Ge checked his phone and realized it wasn’t yet lunchti. Subconsciously, he headed towards the old city area, wanting to see the place where the battle took place yesterday.
The doors of the nightclub were not closed, and police officers were going in and out, seemingly searching for and sealing various things.
Next to them, pedestrians were chatting away, discussing the situation. “Did you hear? This place is involved in drugs.”
“I heard. They took away a lot of people last night.”
“I also heard that so people are not satisfied with the police’s actions, saying they acted without permission…”
“Cough, let’s not talk about that… It’s hard to say what they’re dissatisfied with.”
Chu Ge’s footsteps paused slightly, and he sighed. Lin Wuyang’s words, “Their Qixi Festival, our Qixi Festival,” still echoed in his mind.
At the sa ti, Zhang Qiren’s words, “Lin Wuyang is just a section chief, he can’t do anything,” also resurfaced in his thoughts.
If it weren’t for Zhang Qiren breaking the taboo of the underworld and abruptly handing Lin Wuyang a knife, it would have been difficult for Lin Wuyang to be part of this operation. Even if he did participate, there might not necessarily be a reward waiting for him.
His phone rang, and Chu Ge casually answered, “Who is it?”
Lin Wuyang’s slightly weary voice ca through, “Were you the one who blocked the alley last night?”
“Uh…”
“Based on their description, it looked like you. And considering your relationship with Zhang Qiren, it makes sense. So, did you help Zhang Qiren with sothing?”
“I won’t hide it from you, it was . But I did it because I was there last night and it was the right thing to do, not because of Zhang Qiren. Hey, this is clearly a good thing, why don’t you see it as helping you?”
Lin Wuyang remained silent for a mont before suddenly laughing. “You’re right. That’s why I called you instead of asking you for a statent. By the way, do you want to be recognized for your bravery?”
“Please… Can you help keep this under wraps?”
Lin Wuyang chuckled. “I’ve done a little misdirection. Now, no one recognizes the person in that sketch, not even a dog.”
“Thanks.”
“And the other woman, they couldn’t even describe her properly. They just said she was beautiful and cold, which is essentially saying nothing. I thought… it seems like you’re hiding quite a lot. How about we chat about it another day?”
“Wuyang, why do I feel like you’re radiating with holy light?”
Lin Wuyang forced a bitter smile. “Cut it out.”
Chu Ge asked, “Did you get critisized?”
Lin Wuyang sighed. “I do feel a bit restless… It’s not just about the case itself, but also the high-profile gamblers present that day. Dealing with the aftermath is quite troubleso, and there’s a lot of pressure from the bureau. I regret it a little. Helping you cover it up was also because of this consideration. No matter the reason for your appearance there, ultimately, you did a good thing and shouldn’t have to bear trouble.”
Chu Ge silently thought back to the elite capitalists sitting in the boxing arena that day. If he had barged in, he would have caused even more trouble.
That’s why the situation was difficult, and why so people acted fearlessly.
Speaking of which, Lin Wuyang was really doing a great job now…
But then Lin Wuyang continued, “Criticism is one thing, but the bureau is backing up. It’s not the sa as what you guys imagined. I’m still handling the case, and our director has shouldered a lot of pressure for .”
Chu Ge nodded in response.
Lin Wuyang sighed. “The problem now is that we have too few, too few people with special abilities. Look at soone like with this diocre ability being able to beco a section chief…”
There seed to be an implied suggestion in his words, wanting Chu Ge to help out. Chu Ge remained silent for a mont and just smiled. “I think you not only deserve to be a section chief but should be the director.”
“Hey…”
“When you have free ti, let’s grab a drink.”
Lin Wuyang hesitated for a mont and then said, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge also pondered on this matter… The chances of encountering ability users among the normal police recruits were very slim. It was already rare to co across soone like Lin Wuyang, and there were definitely more people with abilities scattered across various professions. That’s why the authorities have been continuously searching for these individuals, like the case of Gu Ruoyan taking away Moon Shadow, which was a typical example… as well as the introduction from his mother, Zhong Li, who was an off-the-record individual.
But it seed that this search wasn’t easy… People with special abilities rarely revealed themselves in front of outsiders, and even if they did, they were likely to seek personal gain or pursue their own freedom. The number of people willing to work under constraints was probably quite small. Besides others, Chu Ge himself was like that.
So, the birth of the “off-the-record” was a compromise solution and also a ans of assessnt and observation?
As he pondered over these matters, Chu Ge unconsciously walked along the familiar route and arrived near the late-night restaurant where he had eaten last night. It was then that he realized he was feeling a bit hungry. He looked around and was astonished to find that there was only one restaurant within a two-block radius.
Even though there was only one restaurant, business wasn’t great. Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji had eaten beef noodles here last night, and the taste was indeed average, so it was not surprising that the business was poor.
Well, average is just average. He should fill his stomach first.
Chu Ge strolled into the restaurant, and before he could say anything, he saw the boss’s wife grabbing the collar of a young man. “You surnad Zhong, do you really think you’re Zhongli? You even ca to freeload on ?”
The young man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I owe you three cents, how does that turn into a freeloader? It was just a mistake while ordering! Besides, I don’t play mobile gas, so I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
“If you don’t know what I’m talking about, how do you know it’s a mobile ga?”
“Because everyone who sees my na asks the sa question, so naturally, I know…” The young man sighed. “These days, when little kids hear Li Bai, they think he’s from ‘King of Glory,’ and when they hear King Arthur, they say he’s a pretty blonde girl. Damn, if things continue like this, what would happen to our country…”
Chu Ge: “…”
The boss’s wife also felt deeply worried upon hearing this. “Indeed… But whether you’re worried about the future of our country or the collapse of the universe, you still have to pay the three cents today!”
Chu Ge finally burst into laughter.
The boss’s wife then noticed Chu Ge standing by the door and her eyes imdiately lit up. “How many guests are there?”
“It was originally one person, but now it’s two.” Chu Ge pointed at the person surnad Zhong. “I’ll cover his three cents, and I’ll treat for this al as well.”
