Kuai Chuan: Caught again!

1

The day Nan Qiao met Zhu Yunzheng for the first time, the weather was pretty good. There was little wind, and the sun was shining brightly, making everything bright.

But even so, it was still a little cool for Nan Qiao, who was soaking wet without a dry spot.

“Cough cough... Thank you, sir... cough cough..." Nan Qiao wiped the water drops that kept falling down her cheeks, sat on the ground and coughed with her head down.

Zhu Yunzheng said nothing, his emotionless eyes sweeping over the children standing around him.

Several children were feeling guilty about pushing someone into the water. Although they had done such things many times in the past, they were always protected by their parents. Now, when they were glanced at by a stranger who looked like someone who was not easy to deal with, their calves could not help but twitch.

"Whose family are you from?" Zhu Yunzheng asked.

The silence lasted for about a minute. The shortest child, who was young and impatient, suddenly jumped out like a frightened rabbit without leaving a word.

After that, the rest of the children also disappeared, running away very fast.

Zhu Yunzheng naturally would not chase after her. He simply turned his gaze back to Nan Qiao's direction and said in a condescending tone, "Since you can swim, why don't you come up."

The sound is cool, like a cold spring.

But Nan Qiao had no appreciation ability. He just shook his head and said without panic: "I can't swim. I can't get up."

After the words fell, there was another silence.

But it’s still easy to guess what children are thinking.

"They won't jump into the water to save you." Zhu Yunzheng shook his head and quickly figured out the reason. "You will end up losing more than you gain if you do this."

The child, who was not even as tall as his thigh, was ruthless and dared to gamble with his life. Born a demon, he was indeed unusual, and he showed people this "big scene" as soon as he arrived.

When Zhu Yunzheng said this, Nan Qiao actually raised her head. She narrowed her eyes and cast her gaze towards his face which was as blurry as mist.

“They are afraid of accidents, and they all know how to swim.”

If the man in front of her hadn't suddenly appeared, they would have come down. She couldn't do anything to them on the shore, but it would be hard to say if she went into the water.

What a pity, I missed a great opportunity to solve the problem once and for all. When these people behind me realize this, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.

Nan Qiao secretly sighed in her heart. It was impossible for her not to be annoyed, but she could only stand up with the help of the ground: "If you have nothing to do, then I will leave."

It was unclear whether he was a friend or an enemy, so she had to flee quickly. Who knew if he would suddenly attack her?

Zhu Yunzheng suddenly spoke again and called Nan Qiao: "You know that there are cultivators in the world, right?"

"…Know."

His legs suddenly became unable to move, and Nan Qiao couldn't help but clench his hands into fists, but he still nodded obediently.

Isn’t there one right in front of you?

"Here." Zhu Yunzheng handed a jade pendant to Nan Qiao. It was snow-white and transparent, and one could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary object. "It will be helpful to you in the sect selection in half a year."

She was too weak to be of any use to him.

Nan Qiao silently glanced at the jade pendant, then glanced at his fingers which were several times more delicate and smooth than jade, and silently took the jade pendant.

When Zhu Yunzheng saw that she accepted it, he nodded slightly, turned and left, and Nan Qiao's legs were free again.

She stared at the back of Zhu Yunzheng's head for a while before slowly lowering her head and touching the smooth jade pendant with her thumb.

Can practicing Falun Gong cause brain damage?

Zhu Yunzheng's steps suddenly stopped.

Half a year later, Zhu Yunzheng came specially and looking at the 18-year-old strong man holding the jade pendant, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"…Where did you get this jade pendant?"

The 18-year-old boy was not very smart, and answered whatever was asked: "My family runs a pawn shop, and I got it from outside. I thought it was pretty, so I carried it with me."

"When did you receive it?"

"Pretty early, about half a year ago."

Zhu Yunzheng: “Oh.”

Half a year ago.
