It Is Better to Cultivate Both

Tao Zhize, who had just returned to the police station, was not in a good mood. Although he had just called Chief Wang to report the situation, and Chief Wang had said that he had done a good job this time and that the responsibility for the police officer's sacrifice was not on him, Tao Zhize still could not be happy.

Tao Zhize has always believed that being a policeman is a job, but it is more than just a job. He cannot just worry about whether something will go wrong at work. He must also be responsible for his subordinates and for the safety of the city. So he still finds it hard to let it go. He believes that the robber should be given the punishment he deserves, instead of being taken away by a mysterious person sent by the higher-ups and then disappearing without a trace.

Tao Zhize still doesn't know the identity of the robber, not even his name. As for the so-called Xia Tian from the capital, he doesn't know his identity either. He just has a vague feeling that some legends may be true. Legend has it that there are some people with extraordinary abilities in this world. There is also a legend that the government has special mysterious people who are responsible for monitoring these people. Once such people commit crimes, there will be special departments to deal with them.

But he also heard rumors that even if these people with extraordinary abilities committed crimes, it would often not be a big deal, because their abilities would always be useful to the country, so he felt that the robber would definitely not die, and this also meant that the police station, which had suffered heavy casualties this time, could only swallow the bitter pill on its own.

"How should I explain to their families?" Tao Zhize smiled bitterly. The dead policemen also had families. Their families were heartbroken at the moment and hoped that the murderer could be caught. But now, should he tell their families that the murderer could not be caught? Or should he tell them that the murderer was caught, but because of his special identity, he could not be punished?

Tao Zhize felt that if this matter were to get out, the police's credibility would be destroyed and the citizens would certainly lose confidence in the police. The citizens would certainly think that if they couldn't even catch the murderer who killed the police, it would be even more difficult to catch the murderer if an ordinary citizen was killed.

"Team leader, the armed police and special police are still on standby, do you want to..." The female police officer from before walked in again.

Tao Zhize then remembered that he had not yet asked the police on standby to withdraw.

Just when he was about to grit his teeth and ask the police on standby to cancel the operation, his cell phone rang again. This time, the caller was still Director Wang, the same Director Wang who had just spoken to him ten minutes ago. This time, he took the initiative to call him. It was obvious that there was something urgent going on again.

"Director Wang." Tao Zhize answered the phone.

"Lao Tao, prepare paper and pen and write down a few things. These are very important and cannot be wrong." Director Wang seemed very serious.

"Yes, Director Wang." Although Tao Zhize was a little puzzled, he immediately took out a pen and paper and said, "I'm ready. Go ahead."

"No. 49, Paradise Garden Villa, High-tech Zone. Remember this address. There is a body on the rooftop of the villa. It is the robber we want to catch. Send someone to deal with it later. This is the first thing to do." Director Wang spoke slowly, fearing that Tao Zhize could not hear clearly: "Remember, announce to the public that the robber resisted arrest and was shot dead by the police. You cannot say that the superiors sent someone to kill him. Do you understand? The matter of the superiors sending people must be kept absolutely confidential. When the time comes, you go up first and shoot twice at the body. The credit will be on your head."

"Yes, Chief." Tao Zhize had an indescribable feeling for a moment. The robber was actually killed?

"The second thing is, the robber's name is Zhuge Wentian, but don't make his name public. Cremate his body as soon as possible, and then bury him on Mount Qingcheng. Put up a tombstone with Zhuge Wentian's name on it." Director Wang still spoke slowly, "Remember, it's on Mount Qingcheng. Choose a good cemetery. You will handle these personally. If you need money to buy a cemetery, just tell me. I've got everything, right?"

"I've got it." Tao Zhize replied, "Director Wang, is there anything else?"

"Just these two things, but you must remember not to make any mistakes, otherwise I will not be able to take responsibility." Director Wang said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I will see to it." Tao Zhize wanted to ask something, but he knew it was better not to ask, so he finally held back and didn't ask.

"Okay, then you go and do it quickly. Notify me when it's done." Director Wang said and hung up the phone, and Tao Zhize's mood instantly improved.

Although Director Wang’s explanation was a bit strange, as long as the robber was dead, everything would be fine.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Xia Tian and Gu Hanshuang returned to the hotel.

What happened tonight made the two people's moods completely different. Xia Tian was in a good mood now, but Gu Hanshuang was obviously in a bad mood, because she, who seemed to care about nothing on weekdays, was now standing in front of the window with a depressed look. On the surface, she seemed to be looking at the night view of the city, but her eyes looked empty, and it was obvious that she was not looking at anything.

"Shuang girl, that Zhuge Wentian is not a good guy to begin with, so don't be unhappy." Seeing Gu Hanshuang like this, Xia Tian's good mood gradually became worse. He also walked to the window, hugged Gu Hanshuang's soft waist from behind, and said in her ear: "Why don't we do something to make people happy?"

"Shuang girl, it seems that this won't make you happy. Let's forget it. Let's talk about it next time when you're happier." Xia Tian let go of Gu Hanshuang and jumped directly onto the bed. He felt a little depressed. It seemed that he couldn't eat this beautiful maid tonight. He should just sleep well and return to the capital early tomorrow.

Lying on the bed, Xia Tian was still sighing in his heart. After all, a maid is just a maid and cannot be as good as a wife.

Just when Xia Tian was planning to sleep peacefully tonight, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils. It was the scent of Gu Hanshuang. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Gu Hanshuang had sat down beside the bed at some point, and her beautiful eyes were looking at him.

"Young Master, before leaving the nightclub, you had anticipated what would happen next, right?" Gu Hanshuang asked softly.

"More or less. Anyway, I knew that guy was not a good person." Xia Tian answered casually.

Xia Tian had indeed expected this. In fact, he had deliberately revealed his abilities to lure Zhuge Wentian into making a mistake. And Zhuge Wentian fell into the trap just as he had expected. He sent Gu Hanshuang away in the villa and then poisoned her. He wanted to use Gu Hanshuang to threaten him. But Zhuge Wentian had no idea that all this was under Xia Tian's control.

When Zhuge Wentian brought Gu Hanshuang to the unfinished building, Xia Tian was actually following them secretly. As soon as Zhuge Wentian left, Xia Tian immediately appeared, detoxified Gu Hanshuang, and then took her back to the villa quickly. Because his speed was faster than Zhuge Wentian, in Zhuge Wentian's view, Xia Tian seemed not to have left at all, and Gu Hanshuang's appearance was also very strange.

"Young Master, why do you want to practice Taoism?" Gu Hanshuang asked.

"I don't practice cultivation!" Xia Tian shook his head, "I don't even need to practice cultivation, my skills will naturally increase."

"Then, Madam, why do they want to practice cultivation?" Gu Hanshuang asked.

"Oh, then they can always be beautiful and accompany me." Xia Tian gave an answer this time, and added at the end, "In fact, my wives don't have to practice very hard. They just need to practice for a while, and then I can use the Eight Needles to turn them into Golden Core masters."

At this point, Xia Tian asked casually, "Shuang girl, why do you want to cultivate immortality?"

"When I was a child, my master told me that I was special, that I had extraordinary talents, that I was different from others. She also told me that cultivating immortals was a God-given opportunity. At that time, I thought that cultivating immortals was a great thing, and I also thought that being an immortal cultivator was a great identity." Gu Hanshuang recalled the past while narrating softly, "But gradually, I discovered that cultivating immortals was not as wonderful as I imagined. They told me that cultivating immortals was to pursue the way of heaven and to achieve immortality. But when I watched them die one by one, when I began to feel that I was also aging, when I found that immortality was no longer possible, when I found that the way of heaven was out of reach, I began to feel confused. I didn't know what I was cultivating immortals for, and I began to doubt, is cultivating immortals really that important?"

"Oh, I think that cultivating immortals is not as good as practicing dual cultivation." Xia Tian said casually, and then looked at Gu Hanshuang very seriously, "Shuang girl, I actually know why you cultivate immortals."

"Master, do you really know?" Gu Hanshuang's eyes were filled with surprise. Even she herself didn't know, so how could this master know? Could he really know everything?

"Of course I know." Xia Tian nodded affirmatively, "Shuang girl, you practiced Taoism just to be my maid. If you didn't practice Taoism, you would definitely not be alive today, and naturally you would not be able to be my maid!"

Gu Hanshuang was stunned and silent for a while, then she said softly: "Master, maybe you are right, the way of heaven is invisible, everything has a destiny, I have been cultivating immortality for a hundred years, maybe it is really just for meeting you now."

"Yes, that's right." Xia Tian nodded affirmatively, "Shuang girl, in fact, your mission of cultivating immortals has been completed, and you have already met me, so you don't have to practice in the future, you just need to be my maid, and I will make you immortal and youthful forever."
