I am cultivating and becoming a saint in a parallel world

"Her parents passed away, and her brothers and sisters each had their own families. Relatives and neighbors all thought that she abandoned her poor family to live a better life outside after being admitted to college."

"I didn't let you come, and you didn't listen. Now that I'm here, how do you feel when you get such a result?"

In a hot pot restaurant decorated in ethnic minority style, Wei Xuanshang and Xu Tianming sat opposite each other in a booth near the window. The mandarin duck pot on the table is steaming with steam, and various spices are floating on the two-color soup base. The bright color arouses people's appetite.

However, the pot has been boiling for nearly ten minutes, but the side dishes on the table are still neatly arranged, and not a single vegetable leaf has been touched.

Wei Xuanshang glanced at the black backpack beside him and paused for two seconds. Then pick up the chopsticks, pick up a bunch of enoki mushrooms and put them into the red oil pan.

"Have you forgotten what the doctor told you before you came here?"

"...let it all go."

"I'll eat it for you."

Xu Tianming also picked up a bunch of it and put it into the clear soup pot.

"You eat this."

"I never saw you being so sentimental before."

"..." Wei Xuanshang obediently poured his favorite ingredients into the clear soup pot, "I'm not sentimental, I just feel a little regretful."

She wanted to help that poor woman fulfill a wish, but she didn't expect this to be the result.

"There are many poor people in this world, and there are even more regrets. You have to learn to see them with a normal mind." Xu Tianming returned to his usual class tone, "Otherwise, you are not suitable to stay in the Evil Suppression Department."

"Because when you stay here, you have to face more cruel realities and experience more irreparable regrets. There are still half a year until graduation. I hope you can think clearly and be mentally prepared."

"Teacher Tianming, I understand what you said, and I'm not as fragile as you think." Wei Xuanshang didn't think he was a sentimental person, "I just..."

Before Wei Xuan Shang finished speaking, a chopstick almost flew past her cheek.

"Wow!"

"Ah ah ah..."

From behind, there was the sound of dishes being knocked to the floor, and a burst of frightened screams.

Wei Xuanshang immediately stood up and saw that a dining table about three meters away from her was in a mess. The trolley containing the ingredients fell to the ground. Several plates fell into the soup pot for some reason, and the hot pot soup splashed everywhere. , the diners who were sitting there shouted to escape.

And a man wearing a waiter's costume, lame on one leg, had already rushed to the door. With all the customers and other store clerks looking at him in horror or curiosity, he pushed open the glass door vigorously, held his legs and ran out.

The location of Wei Xuan Shang Station has an excellent viewing angle, and one can continue to follow the traces of the man through the glass window.

After running out of the hot pot restaurant, he immediately got into a black van parked on the side of the road, closed the door, but lowered the window, revealing a short section of the gun barrel.

"!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Before Wei Xuanshang finished speaking, a bullet flew out of the black barrel, and the barrel was pointed at her. The gun was silenced, and everyone in the hot pot restaurant was still immersed in the shock of the clerk's sudden strange behavior.

Wei Xuanshang's body was only halfway down when the bullet penetrated the glass.

A condiment dish was thrown into the air by Xu Tianming. The white shadow flashed and it blocked the trajectory at a speed faster than a bullet. The two collided, and the sauce plate with the remaining sauce emitted a reddish glow.

The bullets stopped.

At the same time, a black chopstick flew toward the van through the hole made by the bullet, shattering the sealed window, and blood drops spattered from the compartment.

"Snapped."

The sauce plate and the bullet fell to the ground together, and the sound they made was not noticed at all in the noisy hot pot restaurant.

All this happened in a very short period of time. Apart from the operator, only Wei Xuanshang knew about the flying bullets, the jumping saucepan, the fleeting gun barrel, and the shooting chopsticks.

In the eyes of other diners and store employees, all they saw was the strange waiter who escaped and got into a black car, the suddenly shattered car window, and the black van that quickly blended into the traffic.

I'm afraid even this small bullet hole in the window won't be discovered until they clean up here.

The store manager reacted quickly, immediately called the police, and then personally led the store staff to calm the diners' emotions.

But the waiter's behavior was so weird that only a small number of diners accepted the appeasement and stayed to dine, while most people paid their bills and left the hot pot restaurant.

Wei Xuanshang sat back in the booth and looked at Xu Tianming, who was bending down to pick up the bullet, with complicated eyes.

"Are you scared?" Xu Tianming took the bullet in his hand, looked at it twice, and put it into his coat pocket.

Then he waved and asked the clerk to help him get a new pair of chopsticks.

"Are you here to kill me again?" Wei Xuanshang didn't speak until the clerk left.

"Otherwise?" Xu Tianming stood up.

"What's wrong?" Wei Xuanshang hadn't completely calmed down yet. When he saw him moving again, he subconsciously got up too.

"Get the seasoning." Seeing her solemn expression, Xu Tianming chuckled, "Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, they can't do anything to you."

Wei Xuanshang sat down again and relieved his tension through breathing. Looking at the table full of delicious food in front of me, I lost all my appetite.

After several attempts, is her life so tempting?

Xu Tianming came back with the newly prepared dipping sauce.

Wei Xuanshang immediately asked: "What is Naihe Bridge?"

"Are you asking about Naiheqiao Bar?" Judging from Xu Tianming's expression, he was not surprised at all.

"Is that the name of a bar?" Wei Xuanshang knew nothing about it. "I heard it from the person who intercepted me that day. He said that my name was on the reward list at Naihe Bridge."

"It is a bar, but it is not a bar that ordinary people go to. It does not belong to the sphere of influence of either good or evil. It is a place where black and white do not care and cannot be controlled. You can think of it as a black market, where there is a mixture of good and bad, and many of them cannot be exposed to the public. All transactions on the surface will be conducted there, and only there.”

"Such as putting a reward on someone's life."

"..." Wei Xuanshang felt slightly offended.

"Then who is the boss behind it, so powerful?"

"I don't know." Xu Tianming said, "He is very mysterious. No one knows his true identity."

"Maybe someone knows, but I don't know who knows."

Xu Tianming's image in Wei Xuan Shang's place has always been well-informed, and even he didn't know about it, which shows that the owner of Naihe Bridge Bar is indeed very mysterious.

"Besides the Dao Dao Sect, is there anyone else who may want my life?"

"What do you think?" Xu Tianming picked up a piece of hot beef from the clear soup pot, dipped it in the dipping saucer, and slowly put it into his mouth. The way he eats and looks matches the way he feels to others, both of them are of the gentle type.

Compared with Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and others, there is an obvious difference.

"If I knew, I wouldn't ask you." Wei Xuanshang saw that he only ate the contents of the clear soup pot except for the bunch of enoki mushrooms that he accidentally put into the red oil pot. He thought he would have ordered the clear soup pot if he had known better.

"I don't think this issue deserves your attention." He swallowed the food in his mouth before replying, "No matter whether the person behind you comes from one place, two places, or even three places, or five places, it doesn't matter to you. There’s no difference.”

"They all have the same goal, which is to kill you. And there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to keep getting stronger so that they have no chance to threaten you again."
