Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 645 - 68 The Sect Hierarch’s Mental State is Worrisome
"What does it feel like to love someone?"
Shen Qingxi lay sprawled on the bed, slowly wriggling like a caterpillar.
"Can you stop messing around, Lord Sect Master?"
Li Mumu couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the slumped girl on the bed.
I just want to kill her and make a skeleton ornament out of her, place her next to another skeleton.
Shen Qingxi was tainted, and she knew it herself.
The taint itself wasn’t the problem; it was her unhuman-like demeanor that was the true walking source of pollution.
Throwing trash into a trash can shouldn’t make the trash can dirtier.
The real issue was that Eldest Miss Shen was love-struck (self-proclaimed).
She fell immediately with just one seductive glance aimed at her heart.
Everyone has weaknesses; hers was just different. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
And willpower isn’t necessarily as strong as she boasted.
Claiming she no longer believed in any woman, yet the moment a young, pretty, and soft girl threw herself at him, he’d surrender instantly.
Sternly criticizing game developers for defiance, yet forgetting everything after a series of lucky draws.
Xia Yubing just wanted Incense Offerings, as long as she gets that, all is negotiable.
Li Mumu had her principles, a little bit of dirty money can’t buy her integrity.
But if you give a lot, that’s a different story.
All this is understandable.
"Both Angels and Demons use the same tactics, they dig into the deepest desires of the human heart and launch an attack from the mental level. So, it’s not that you’ve found your destined Prince Charming, but that he has transformed into the perfect image you imagined."
Li Mumu patiently explained.
This tactic, essentially, is no different from telecom fraud. If you don’t fall for a scam call, it’s not because the scammer’s pitch is old or unintelligent. It’s because the scammer is filtering out their target group, excluding you.
Telecom fraud targets fools willing to be deceived.
"I know, but I still feel awful."
Shen Qingxi buried her face in the pillow, mumbling.
"You guys will never understand the feeling of being in love."
Actually, I understand, it’s just withdrawal reaction, similar to smoking opium.
Li Mumu silently commented in her mind.
From a scientific standpoint, so-called love is just humans spreading pheromones at an age suitable for reproduction, attracting the opposite sex.
After one taste and then separation, withdrawal symptoms appear.
Some have high resistance, others are especially sensitive, like Shen Qingxi, whose mind knows something is off, but her body reacts intensely.
In short, it’s like having a fever.
"I think you’ve just been cooped up at home for too long, why not go out, see some men?"
"That’s what I was thinking too."
Shen Qingxi nodded: "So I decided to send out invitations in a couple of days, host a charity auction, attract more men, and absorb their essence."
Are you some kind of Demon?
Li Mumu suddenly realized: "What auction? Are you going to auction off the Imperial Jade Seal?"
"Yeah, it was already planned, and now that it has been rightfully returned, why not continue with the auction?"
Shen Qingxi smiled: "It’s a good opportunity to see who exactly is behind usurping the Shen Family’s assets!"
Is this really necessary?
Li Mumu really didn’t think it was necessary, even though she could understand Shen Qingxi’s mindset, it didn’t mean she was willing to continue suffering with Shen Qingxi.
Why don’t you just hand it over and be done with it?
"I’m the kind of person who needs to finish what I start; I don’t like opting out halfway."
Shen Qingxi seriously said, "The Jade Seal was lost under my watch, so I need to find it myself. We agreed to hold an auction, so we must do it well. As for falling for someone... if they are not up to par, you have to find a way to get rid of them quickly! Otherwise, my spiritual path won’t be steady!"
She hugged the quilt on the bed and began to make a woo-woo-woo weird noise.
This person is beyond help.
Li Mumu sighed while holding her forehead.
She didn’t come over today to solve these crazy psychological issues.
Instead, Xia Yubing had something important to discuss with her.
But just when she hurried over, Xia Yubing had run off somewhere else.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Just as Li Mumu’s tolerance for that crazy person on the bed was about to reach its limit, Xia Yubing finally arrived late, looking unwell.
What can a dead person even look like... but it’s obvious she is feeling down.
"I want to discuss something with you."
"Just spit it out!"
We’re so familiar with each other, we’ve even shared a coffin, what’s there that needs to be so formal?
"I want to send someone to Sun Family Town."
"Who..."
Li Mumu was suddenly shocked, "It’s not that person, right?"
"Yes, it’s that person."
"No... how could that person still..."
"What are you two whispering behind Lord Sect Master’s back?"
Shen Qingxi lifted her head, looking annoyed, "I am going to create a new sect rule right now, no speaking in riddles in the sect, someone bring me my Jade Seal!"
"Would you just calm down!"
Li Mumu kicked her face irritably, sending her back into the quilt, then turned with a frown to Xia Yubing, "That’s a dethroned Emperor from the Former Dynasty, isn’t it? He has his own home, even if he doesn’t want to stay in the Thousand-Year Dynasty World anymore, he could go back to the Xia Mansion. What’s it to me if he stays at my place?"
Xia Yubing sighed, "He can’t go back."
"Why’s that?"
"As I’ve told you before, the manager of Xia Mansion, he is truly a master. But personally, he has no affection, even despises the past Dynasty."
"Umm..."
So does he have some weird hobby, scurrying around guarding doors for others?
Li Mumu was baffled.
Xia Yubing sighed, "He’s not guarding the Former Dynasty’s glory, but history. In this era, the public’s obsession with the President has reached a crazy level. But only a few know why they admire the President, the majority either blindly follow along or simply worship the victor."
I get it, like a champion fan, right?
"Many people lack the ability to think independently, or are just plain simple-minded. Since the President is good, the Former Dynasty which was overthrown by him must be bad. Their love for the President is equal to their hatred for the Former Dynasty. This hatred isn’t a reasoned critique but just pointless emotional venting."
"Without him guarding the Xia Mansion, who knows how many would go and trample on the Former Dynasty Imperial Family’s dignity. Some do it for attention, some to make a stance, to align with the higher ups... all sorts of motives, a forest is big enough for all birds."
"But for him, it’s about history. History is left for future generations to learn from, to reference, and to understand; it’s very significant and serious, it should not be left for clowns to freely smear and distort."
"When Xia Yu chose to leave the Xia Mansion, he couldn’t go back. It doesn’t matter who the young man living in the Xia Mansion now is, the manager has ’anchored’ the ’Former Dynasty’s Emperor abdicated and retreated here’ part of history."
"Not many people have seen a real Emperor, and the Emperor is just another person, not bearing any special mark more than anyone else. The manager doesn’t recognize him. He’s just a lost dog."
