Chapter 2 Cleverly Obstructing Fate, the Mind Gradually Becomes Disturbed

Chapter Two: Cleverly Obstructing Fate Leads to Growing Confusion

After learning about the system's mission to prevent Bai Suzhen from meeting Xu Xian, Liu Yu was filled with despair, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and think of a solution.

His eyes darted around, and a plan came to him. He said to Bai Suzhen, "Miss Bai, to be honest, there are evil spirits haunting Xu Xian's pharmacy lately. It might be dangerous for you to come here now."

Bai Suzhen frowned slightly. "Evil spirits? What makes you say that, Young Master Liu?"

Liu Yu lowered his voice mysteriously, "Miss Bai, I am a cultivator and can sense this evil aura. Xu Xian himself is completely unaware of it."

Hearing this, Xu Xian quickly said, "Young Master Liu, don't talk nonsense. My pharmacy has always been safe and sound."

Liu Yu glared at Xu Xian, "You're just a mortal, so naturally you can't detect it. Miss Bai, you absolutely mustn't let your guard down."

Bai Suzhen hesitated, and Liu Yu pressed his advantage, "Miss Bai, why don't you come with me to a safe place first? After I find out the origin of this evil spirit and resolve the hidden danger, you can come back."

Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian, then at Liu Yu, and finally nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Liu."

Liu Yu was overjoyed and left the pharmacy with Bai Suzhen. Along the way, Liu Yu racked his brains to find topics to talk about, trying to attract Bai Suzhen's attention.

“Miss Bai, do you know how many strange and wonderful things there are in this world? For example, I once met a talking fox in a deep mountain. It told me about the hardships of its thousand years of cultivation.” Liu Yu recounted the story vividly.

Bai Suzhen smiled gently, "Young Master Liu's experiences are quite interesting."

Seeing that Bai Suzhen was interested, Liu Yu became even more enthusiastic, "Another time, I found a mysterious ancient book in an ancient cave, which recorded many long-lost spells."

Before they knew it, they had arrived at a quiet little pavilion. Liu Yu hurriedly invited Bai Suzhen to sit down and continued, "Miss Bai, don't worry, with me here, I will definitely protect you."

Looking at Liu Yu's serious expression, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

At this moment, Liu Yu was in a state of great inner conflict. On one hand, he had to complete the system's tasks, and on the other hand, he was attracted by Bai Suzhen's beauty and gentleness, leaving him with a complex mix of emotions.

Just then, a light rain began to fall. Liu Yu quickly took off his coat and used it to shield Bai Suzhen from the rain.

"Miss Bai, don't get wet." Liu Yu's voice was full of concern.

Bai Suzhen looked at Liu Yu, her eyes filled with emotion.

The rain grew heavier, so Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen had to take shelter in the pavilion. Liu Yu secretly observed Bai Suzhen, thinking to himself, "Such a beautiful woman, it wouldn't be bad to be with her."

However, thinking about her mission, Liu Yu felt a pang of guilt.

“Miss Bai, we don’t know when this rain will stop. Why don’t I take you home?” Liu Yu said.

Bai Suzhen gently shook her head, "No need, Young Master Liu, I can manage on my own."

Liu Yu hurriedly said, "How can that be? It's raining so hard, I'm worried about you going back alone."

Bai Suzhen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Liu Yu, holding an umbrella, walked side by side with Bai Suzhen in the rain. Their figures appeared particularly hazy in the rain.

Back at Bai Suzhen's residence, Liu Yu stood at the door and said with some reluctance, "Miss Bai, please rest well. I will come to see you again another day."

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Young Master Liu, please take care."

Liu Yu turned and left, but her heart was filled with the image of Bai Suzhen.

Back at her place, Liu Yu lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

"Am I really doing the right thing? It's clear that Suzhen and Xu Xian are destined to be together, yet I'm trying to stop them," Liu Yu muttered to himself.

Just then, the system's voice rang out: "Host, you must remember your mission. If you cannot prevent Bai Suzhen from meeting Xu Xian, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Liu Yu sighed helplessly, "I understand."

In the following days, Liu Yu kept finding various excuses to appear by Bai Suzhen's side, trying to make her forget Xu Xian.

He took Bai Suzhen sightseeing, to sample local delicacies, and even composed poems and painted pictures for her. Bai Suzhen always had a smile on her face, and Liu Yu grew increasingly enamored with her as they spent time together.

However, fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on people. One day, Bai Suzhen accidentally met Xu Xian on the street.

Xu Xian's eyes were filled with surprise when he saw Bai Suzhen. "Miss Bai, it's been a long time."

Bai Suzhen smiled and replied, "Young Master Xu Xian."

Seeing this, Liu Yu's heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward, "Xu Xian, what are you doing here?"

Xu Xian said, "I came to get medicine for the patient and happened to run into Miss Bai."

Liu Yu pulled Bai Suzhen away, saying, "Miss Bai, let's go, don't pay any attention to him."

Bai Suzhen broke free from Liu Yu's hand, saying, "Young Master Liu, please don't be so rude."

Liu Yu was extremely anxious. He knew that his plan might be in vain.

Just then, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder. A dark figure descended from the sky and landed in front of them.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was Fahai.

Fahai, holding his golden alms bowl, shouted, "Bai Suzhen, you snake demon, you will not escape today!"

Liu Yu inwardly cried out in alarm, "What am I going to do?"
