Chapter 4: Curing His Mysophobia

Some are happy and some are sad.

In comparison, Meng Zhi looked completely different.

Meng Zhi soaked in the water, and the clear water from the waterfall kept washing his body.

You can clean your body, but you cannot clean your soul.

The sound of gurgling water was mixed with the faint sounds of retching.

That set of clothes had long been destroyed by Meng Zhi.

There was no way, every time he saw that suit he would think of that disgusting big snot.

Meng Zhi is not a person with mysophobia, but now, Ye Xingzhou has cured him of his mysophobia.

Meng Zhi successfully developed mysophobia.

A human being with any humanity would never do such a disgusting and heartless thing.

In the past, he was the only one who bullied others, but this was the first time he got humiliated.

A feeling of unwillingness spread, Meng Zhi's eyes were sinister, and his hands underwater were clenched into fists.

"Ye Xingzhou—ah! You're in trouble. I will—ah—take revenge—ah!"

★

The sky is dim and everything is hazy.

Two stealthy figures were walking south along the wall.

Two hundred and ninety-eight, two hundred and ninety-nine, three hundred.

Ye Xingzhou stopped and saw a small dog hole suddenly appearing under the wall in front of him.

[Brother Tong, why is this a dog hole? ]

[Don't underestimate it. This is the only gap in the barrier. You can leave through here without being noticed.]

Ye Xingzhou stared at the dog hole and hesitated for three seconds, then decisively moved sideways to make room.

"Junior brother, your chance to show off has come. Hurry up and get in first."

"Senior brother, will we be discovered by the barrier?" Ren Wangzhu asked in a low voice while looking at the dog hole.

"No, go out without worry."

"oh."

Ren Wangzhu was very obedient and started climbing the dog hole after getting Ye Xingzhou's guarantee.

The movements were so skillful that it didn't seem like it was his first time climbing.

Ye Xingzhou took a lot of effort to climb out, and as soon as he came out he gave Ren Wangzhu a thumbs up.

"Amazing! You climb so smoothly."

Ren Wangzhu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Maybe it's because I'm thin, so I'm faster. Brother, you're also very good."

"Look at how humble you are."

Ye Xingzhou put his hand on Ren Wangzhu's shoulder and walked around the hazy outline of the trees. The moonlight illuminated the road, and the capital with lights on was getting closer and closer.

This time, both of them changed into casual clothes so as not to attract other people's attention.

Ren Wangzhu was a little nervous at first, but as he stepped into the bustling street, the nervousness completely disappeared.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going.

The aroma of sesame cakes wafted into my nose, followed by steaming buns.

Ren Wangzhu swallowed his saliva.

"Brother, I haven't been down the mountain for a long time. It's been so long that I almost forgot the taste of candied haws."

Ye Xingzhou was amused by Ren Wangzhu's words.

This guy wants to eat candied haws but he's going around in circles.

"Here, the candied haws you asked for."

A string of candied haws covered with crystal syrup was handed to him, and Ren Wangzhu took it with surprise.

"Thank you, Brother!"

"Mmm, the candied haws are so sweet."

"That's right, the candied haws picked by Senior Brother are the sweetest."

Ye Xingzhou bought a lot of food as if he had never eaten before, including sesame cakes, buns, pastries, and pork elbows, and stuffed them all into the storage bag.

During the gap in buying, he also took the time to respond to Ren Wangzhu's words.

I have to say that storage bags are really convenient. Not only can they store things, but they can also maintain a constant temperature to ensure that food does not spoil. They are simply a must-have when going out.

When passing by a stall crowded with people, Ye Xingzhou leaned over to take a look. After seeing the dazzling array of colorful lanterns, he finally understood why there were so many people tonight.

It is Mid-Autumn Festival on earth, and people gathered around the vendors are guessing riddles to win lanterns.

"Brother, that rabbit lantern is so beautiful."

Ren Wangzhu raised his eyes, and the rabbit lantern placed at the top was reflected in his eyes.

Ye Xingzhou looked over and saw that there was a candle in the rabbit lantern, and the rabbit looked lifelike.

As for the riddle below, Ye Xingzhou couldn't guess it anyway.

"Brother, do you know the answer?"

Ye Xingzhou didn't know, but he didn't say it directly.

"Junior brother, you have to fight for what you like. If I tell you the result directly, wouldn't it take away the fun of the exploration process? I believe you can do it."

"I understand, Senior Brother."

"Go ahead and guess."

Ren Wangzhu was so drunken by Ye Xingzhou's bowl of poisonous chicken soup that he squeezed into the crowd and started guessing riddles.

Although he drank the poisonous chicken soup, it didn't mean that Ren Wangzhu could guess the answer.

Knowing that Ren Wangzhu couldn't guess it, Ye Xingzhou took advantage of this opportunity to use the last piece of gold thread to exchange for a smaller version of the exquisite rabbit lantern.

As expected, Ren Wangzhu walked out of the crowd with a frustrated look on his face after a while.

"Brother, I'm too stupid to guess the answer."

"You are not stupid. You are a late bloomer with great wisdom."

Ren Wangzhu just thought that Ye Xingzhou was comforting him.

However, Ye Xingzhou waved his hand, and a miniature rabbit lantern, just like the candied haws just now, appeared in front of Ren Wangzhu.

Ren Wangzhu was stunned.

"Brother, what is this?"

"For you."

"But brother, didn't you say that you have to fight for what you like?"

Ye Xingzhou raised his lips.

"This time is an exception. Senior Brother will of course give you what you want."

It’s not his money being spent anyway.

It was clearly an ordinary conversation, but Ren Wangzhu felt as if his heart was hit.

Although my senior brother was like this before, what he said tonight always makes people feel itchy.

Ren Wangzhu lowered his eyes, getting rid of the discomfort, and then held the rabbit lantern with the same surprise as before.

"Thank you, brother. I will keep it well."

"Just handle it yourself."

Ye Xingzhou looked up at the sky and continued, "It's getting late, let's go back."

When I came, there was moonlight lining the road, and when I returned, there was the candlelight of the rabbit lantern.

The journey is not long.

Only when he returned to the dog cave did Ren Wangzhu reluctantly put the rabbit lantern into the storage bag and change into the sect uniform.

It's late at night.

The two returned to their residence along the same route.

The treatment of outer disciples is not as good as that of inner disciples. They sleep in triple rooms, which are relatively crowded.

Perhaps it was because Ye Xingzhou and Ren Wangzhu were so incredibly useless that the other brothers were afraid that their useless nature would be contagious, so no one wanted to live with them.

This is also the reason why the two of them could sneak down the mountain without being discovered by others.

However, Ye Xingzhou miscalculated.

There was a scent of other people in the room.

The moonlight was faint, pouring into the house through the window.

A man in his inner garments was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, meditating.

His black hair was disheveled, and the pale moonlight made his face look as pale as a ghost.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Ye Xingzhou thought something was wrong and even pulled Ren Wangzhu to hide behind a pillar.

Ren Wangzhu covered his mouth and even softened his breathing.

How come this guy Meng Zhi is here?

As a cultivator, Meng Zhi had already heard that subtle sound.

The moment he opened his eyes, he accurately locked onto the location where Ye Xingzhou was hiding.

However, Meng Zhi did not make it public.

He pulled out the dagger from under his pillow, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

This is his chance for revenge.

"It looks like there's a mouse in the house."

"You better pray I don't find out."

"Otherwise, I'll pull out your tendons and skin you, and make you into a braised rat head."
