The Saintess jumps into the lake and commits suicide?

Guardian disciple, perhaps at first glance, seem a bit pitiful, almost like Servant Disciples who pour tea, serve water, and do chores for the Saintess.

But in reality, that's not the case.

Although they do handle various matters for Qi Zixiao, they also work in shifts of six, so they can still cultivate most of the time.

Besides, which Saintess isn't a genius of their generation, blessed with immense luck?!

Following the Saintess naturally brings many benefits...

Moreover, even as Protector Disciples, their status is much higher than that of ordinary Inner Sect Disciples, making the position highly sought after.

Chen Cheng and the others had put in a lot of effort to successfully become Protector Disciples.

But now, the Saintess wants to test us?

Could it be that she's annoyed because we're cultivating too slowly?

If that's the case, if our cultivation insights aren't good enough, could we be kicked out of the Protector Disciple ranks?

Hiss!!!

At this thought, Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining, who were on duty this month, instantly felt their scalps tingle...

They had to complete the task as soon as possible and without any mistakes.

They immediately made a decision and also sent a message to the other ten Protector Disciples who were cultivating at the moment.

Soon, the Saintess's twelve Protector Disciples were busy.

Inside the room, Lin Fan lay on the bed, legs crossed, relaxed and carefree.

"As expected, most of the time I'm incredibly clever."

"Using this method, I can get something for nothing, right? Getting cultivation insights and True Essence control methods from them, then I'll be half a cultivator too~"

"Awesome."

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? You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. Being too reckless can easily lead to trouble.

When it's time to play it safe, you have to play it safe.

Meanwhile, in the modern world, Qi Zixiao got into a taxi.

Feeling the completely different space inside the car compared to the bus, Qi Zixiao wasn't that surprised, but she was more curious about how the car worked.

It would be nice to make some in the Purple Mansion Holy Land?

"Where to?"

Seeing that the passenger hadn't said anything for a long time, the driver was confused.

"Swan Lake."

Qi Zixiao woke up as if from a dream and said her destination.

She planned to try cultivating the Waterflow Body at Swan Lake.

Before long, they arrived at Swan Lake. She tried scanning the code for the first time, and when she heard a beep, she realized she could get out of the car, which made her think of many things.

"So it's that simple?"

"If I want to buy clothes..."

Shaking her head, she temporarily put these thoughts aside, and Qi Zixiao strolled along the shore of Swan Lake.

Swan Lake is an artificial lake in C City, and there are no swans living there. It is adjacent to the forest, and the lake water is clear.

There were many people fishing by the lake.

Qi Zixiao watched for a while, but didn't have any intention of joining them.

Then...

She climbed over the railing.

"What the!?"

One of the fishermen spotted Qi Zixiao and couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey young man, what are you doing?!"

The fishermen around him all looked over.

"Swimming?"

"You don't take off your clothes to swim?!"

"Damn, he's trying to commit suicide!"

They were all alarmed, throwing down their fishing rods and rushing over, constantly trying to dissuade her.

"Young man, life is full of disappointments, but as long as you're alive, there's always tomorrow, there's always a bright future!"

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, we brothers will help you find a solution..."

"Come down first and then we'll talk..."

They were sprinting, and they were already halfway across the two hundred meters.

However...

Qi Zixiao glanced back at them, feeling a little strange.

Who were these people shouting at?

Someone wants to commit suicide?

Seeing Qi Zixiao turn around, the fishermen became even more energetic, but Qi Zixiao frowned slightly.

"If they want to commit suicide, so be it, cultivation is more important."

She decided not to delay any longer, turned her head, and leaped...

"Ah!!!"

Splash...

In the eyes of many fishermen, a perfectly fine young man instantly disappeared, sinking directly into the water, without even struggling.

"Holy crap!!!"

"Was he really that decisive?"

"Has he lost all hope?!"

"What do we do? Who's a good swimmer, go save him!"

"Someone call the police!"

"You guys call the police, I'll go down first!"

There were many kind-hearted people...

Amidst the anxiety and exclamations, some called the police, while others began to strip off their clothes, preparing to climb over the railing and jump into the water to save the person.

In just a moment, three people had plunged into the water with 'splashes'.

However, they dove for nearly a minute, but couldn't find a trace of the person!

"What the hell, where is he?!"

"Could he have sunk to the bottom of the lake?!"

"Damn, it's said that the bottom of this lake is dozens of meters deep..."

"He's been in the water for almost two minutes, and hasn't surfaced, I'm afraid..."

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

In their opinion, that young man was definitely gone...

An average person can hold their breath for a minute, which is considered impressive. Two minutes? Unless professionally trained, not many people can do that.

In other words, that young man was most likely gone.

"Don't give up, try again!"

Someone encouraged...

The three dove again, desperately, but still found nothing...

Splash...

They slapped the water, their faces grim.

On the shore, a fellow fisherman looked solemn: "Guys, come up first. It seems that young man was really determined to die..."

"Come up first. Even if we find him now, it's basically too late. Let's wait for the police to arrive..."

Before long, the police arrived.

After understanding the situation and retrieving nearby surveillance footage, they confirmed that someone had indeed jumped into the lake to commit suicide and immediately began organizing people to come for 'rescue'.

Although they called it rescue, everyone knew that 'retrieving the body' was more appropriate.

Then, the salvage boat arrived, and so did the ambulance.

Whether it was for symbolic reasons or humanitarian concerns, at least, everything was in place.

The salvage began...

However, after searching for half a day, they still found nothing.

The police were dumbfounded!

"Where is the person? We need to see the person alive, or at least the body!"

"Strange... we just can't find him!"

"He probably sank to the bottom of the lake. The salvage boat can't possibly search every spot so quickly. Alas, it's a pity about the young man."

"Yeah, well, let the ambulance go back first. Even if we pull him up now, he'll be long gone..."

"We'll stay here and keep watch. It's just an artificial lake, I refuse to believe we can't find him!!!"

On the lake, the salvage boat was fervently searching.

At the bottom of the lake, Qi Zixiao controlled Lin Fan's body, sitting cross-legged like a statue, already without breath, letting the water flow and the fish touch him.

Suddenly.

A net swept over, directly covering him!
