Chapter 75: Changchun Sect Member

Feng Yi went to great lengths to keep Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo, and although he had his own purposes, he felt that he had done a great thing.

After all, the two masters and apprentices entered the ancient tomb and forced Xiaolongnu to put down the Dragon-Breaking Stone, escape from the waterway, and live in the back mountain, which is why she was defiled. Otherwise, Xiaolongnu lived in the ancient tomb and outsiders could not enter, so this would not have happened.

Therefore, keeping the two girls would be considered a great deed with immeasurable merit.

But now Li Mochou took the opportunity to leave. Just now, he was confused and thought that Li Mochou was escaping from his clutches. But after being reminded by Hong Lingbo, he immediately realized that he was wrong. Li Mochou must have returned to the ancient tomb.

Feng Yi knew very well that Li Mochou had always been resentful about her master passing on his skills to Xiaolongnu. Now that he knew that Li Mochou had accepted Ouyang Feng's adopted son as her disciple, she would definitely expose the matter and attack Xiaolongnu.

After all, in the original plot, she told Huang Rong that Guo Xiang was the child of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo in order to ruin her reputation, which shows how vicious her mind is.

Although in the original plot Xiaolongnu already knew that it was Ouyang Feng who injured her master, she did not know that Yang Guo worshipped Ouyang Feng as his father.

Later, when she was attacked by Jinlun and the Quanzhen Sect masters and was dying, she learned that Yang Guo's crazy adoptive father was Ouyang Feng. But at that time, she and Yang Guo already had a deep affection for each other, and nothing could stand in their way except separation and death.

But according to the current time period, the two of them are just a formal master-disciple relationship. With Li Mochou interfering, it is still unknown what will happen. If things go wrong, the original plot will be repeated.

Although Li Mochou's martial arts are not as good as before, most people are not satisfied with their lives, and those unhappy things will often happen to those who are unlucky.

At that time, Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu were...

The same is true for me now.

The broken leg first and the encounter with Ouyang Feng later are real proof of this.

Although she had no relationship with Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu and had no favors towards them, their characters were not worthy of her admiration and there was no need for her to work hard for them.

But if I worked so hard and failed to achieve my goal, but instead benefited someone from Quanzhen Sect, this would be fucking ridiculous! Feng Yi would never allow such a thing to happen!

In a word, the original plot of Xiaolongnu was tarnished, which had nothing to do with him, but if it was tarnished because of the flapping of his butterfly, he would not forgive himself.

When Feng Yi thought of this, his heart was burning with excitement. He said to Hong Lingbo, "You and I will go to the South Gate to intercept Li Mochou. We must not let her go up the mountain at this time!" He used his agility to take a shortcut and headed straight for the South Gate of Chang'an.

Mount Zhongnan is south of Chang'an. Li Mochou's strength has not yet recovered, so I can just stop her at the city gate.

Hong Lingbo said, "I'll listen to you." and followed.

Feng Yi was delighted to see her brisk steps and said, "Lingbo, your Qinggong is really good. In my opinion, many famous people in the martial arts world are not as good as you."

Hong Lingbo blushed and said, "No way, I always get scolded by my master!"

Feng Yi said seriously: "It is rare for a normal person like you to have such martial arts skills at your age."

Hong Lingbo did not deny this. She helped her master defeat many martial arts masters in Shanxi.

The two of them moved very quickly and soon arrived at the South Gate.

Feng Yi ran to the South Gate on one leg, almost gasping for breath. He bent over and gasped twice. Hong Lingbo looked back and saw Feng Yi's left leg on the ground, and he could only lift his right leg. He said, "Wait for me here. I'll buy you a walking stick!"

She saw that Feng Yi was running on one leg, which was really inconvenient. Feng Yi nodded and waited for Li Mochou to leave the city at a tea stall at the city gate.

Unexpectedly, until Hong Lingbo brought a pair of crutches, Li Mochou was still nowhere to be seen.

Feng Yi took the cane and said after a moment of hesitation: "It seems we have to go to the ancient tomb!"

Hong Lingbo nodded and said, "My master has always been upset about not having received the true teachings from her master, so she had to go to the ancient tomb to make things difficult for my uncle.

She may have thought that you would intercept her, so she must be hiding in the city now. We have no choice but to go to Zhongnan Mountain and wait for her."

Feng Yi was happy to see that she was quite smart, and said, "Mt. Zhongnan is too big, do you know how to get there?"

Hong Lingbo said, "I have a map." Then he took it out and handed it to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi glanced at the so-called map and frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand Hong Lingbo's intention and said, "I drew this map based on my master's instructions. I can understand it. This time she asked me to come to Chang'an to kill someone. I thought I could go to the ancient tomb and see if I could take the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" from my uncle. I didn't know that she followed me secretly..."

Feng Yi said: "The ancient tomb is full of traps, and Ouyang Feng almost died in it. Li Mochou is well aware of this and is afraid that she will be trapped, so she asked you to go ahead and explore the way."

Hong Lingbo's ears blushed, and he whispered, "I was also blinded by the thought of becoming the master of the ancient tomb!"

Feng Yi sighed, "Li Mochou is the best among women in terms of looks, martial arts, and talent, but she is still a fool. She will die a violent death sooner or later in her life. You must not learn from her."

Hong Lingbo remained silent.

Feng Yi can only go to the ancient tomb now to prevent Li Mochou from having the chance to meet Xiaolongnu and the others, and also inform Yang Guo that this is a remedial measure for the trouble he has caused.

As for Ouyang Feng, a man who was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, as long as he saw his son, he might not even remember that he had beaten Xiaolongnu's master to death.

Feng Yi had reason to believe that his memory began to recur with the people he met.

Refer to the meeting Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Ke Zhen'e in Jiaxing. You didn't know each other at first, but after a fight, you knew who they were.

Not only did he know that he had killed his brother, he also knew that the other party lived on Peach Blossom Island.

After the two men finished their discussion, they headed towards Mount Zhongnan. Feng Yi had difficulty walking, so Hong Lingbo bought two mules for the journey. After walking for about twenty miles, they saw a huge, majestic mountain range stretching before them, which was so beautiful that they could not take it all in.

Feng Yi sighed: "This mountain is really huge, no wonder the Quanzhen Sect was founded here!"

Hong Lingbo smiled and said, "Ancient people said: Among the greatest mountains, besides Taihang, none is as great as Zhongnan."

Feng Yi asked curiously: "Have you been here before?"

Hong Lingbo said: "I have never been here, but the Quanzhen Sect has been thriving recently. Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and others have all accepted many good disciples, and their reputation in the martial arts world is getting louder and louder.

My master is a demon that everyone wants to kill, but they are chivalrous, helping people in need and doing countless good things. No matter whether they are martial artists or not, everyone in the world respects the name of Quanzhen Sect very much.

Last time when my master was in Shanxi, although he injured Sun Buer with the Ice Soul Silver Needle and seemed to have won, he knew that his martial arts skills were not as good as Qiu Chuji's, so he sent the antidote to Sun Buer, apologized, and didn't give him an excuse to attack.

But she couldn't forget it in her heart and wanted to take the Jade Girl Heart Sutra to avenge the humiliation!

Hong Lingbo heard Feng Yi did not respond, so he glanced at him and saw that his face was serious, as if he was thinking about something.

Hong Lingbo couldn't help but think: "I have never met such a man in my life."

She stared at Feng Yi's black eyebrows, high nose bridge, and thin cheeks, as if she could never see enough. She really wanted to keep looking at him like this for the rest of her life.

The two of them spoke nothing along the way, and in the evening, they arrived at the market town at the foot of the mountain.

The town is located at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. Ever since Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, founded the Quanzhen Sect in Mount Zhongnan and built the Chongyang Palace, Mount Zhongnan has become a holy place for Taoists all over the world. The buildings here are also made of blue bricks and black tiles, and are quite Taoist in style.

Feng Yi and Hong Lingbo had not eaten since morning and were very hungry. They went into the town, bought two new sets of clothes for Hong Lingbo, found an inn, booked two rooms, and took a bath and changed clothes.

Hong Lingbo took off her Taoist robe and quickly changed into a yellow dress. She also made a woman's bun on her head, matched it with a red-tassel sword and wore a thorny hairpin. The Taoist nun immediately turned into a charming female knight, but her expression seemed a little cold.

The two of them went out of the house, found a table, ordered a few of their signature dishes, and a pot of wine. As they were drinking, they suddenly heard a muffled voice saying, "This Li Mochou only knows how to stir up trouble all day long!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw two young Taoists in yellow crowns and gray clothes walking into the store. They should be the grandchildren of the Seven True Immortals.

One of them had swollen cheeks and several fingerprints on his neck, while the other was thin and had no injuries on his face.

"Isn't it? I don't know who this old lunatic is, but he insisted on going to find the Tomb Clan!"

As they were talking, the man had already entered the restaurant, and the man who had been beaten shouted, "Hey, two jugs of wine!"

After a pause, he cursed again: "My Quanzhen Sect is really unlucky. We have to become neighbors with the Ancient Tomb Sect."

The thin man sighed and said slowly: "This Li Mochou is really amazing. Last time, both Grandmaster Changshengzi and Grandmaster Qingjing Sanren were unable to do anything to her. Grandmaster Qiu and Grandmaster Wang also didn't get any advantage. Everyone knows that.

But the little dragon girl is about the same age as us, and she is already very famous. Last time, she defeated Master Hao and almost made him commit suicide. Alas, our Quanzhen Sect suffered such a loss at the hands of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and you got slapped twice, what does it matter?"

On Xiaolongnu's eighteenth birthday, Prince Huodu led a group of evildoers to cause trouble in Chongyang Palace, but was stopped by Guo Jing.

Huo Du knew he was no match for Guo Jing, so he used a trick and made a ten-year agreement with him. He went to the ancient tomb to harass Guo Jing again, but was defeated by Xiao Long Nu's group of bees. He fled in defeat, and the news spread throughout the martial arts world within a few months.

Later, Xiaolongnu broke Hao Datong's sword in public, forcing him to almost commit suicide. The Quanzhen disciples have always been convinced of Hao Datong's martial arts, and this incident alone made them admire Xiaolongnu's martial arts even more.

Therefore, although Xiaolongnu never left Mount Zhongnan, her name was already quite famous in the martial arts world.

When the restaurant was silent, the fat Taoist snorted and said, "Junior Brother Liao, why do you want to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige?

In my opinion, the Ancient Tomb Sect only knows how to use poison, Li Mochou knows how to use the Ice Soul Silver Needle, and Xiao Longnu knows how to use bees. If we talk about real martial arts, how can they compare to our Quanzhen Sect!"

After hearing this, the thin man immediately said in a serious tone: "Brother Lu is absolutely right. My Quanzhen Sect is the authentic martial arts sect in the world. We have produced many talented people. Sooner or later, we will give the Ancient Tomb Sect a hard time, especially Yang Guo..." When he said this, he remembered that Yang Guo was a taboo and suddenly stopped talking.

Suddenly, a woman was heard giggling, with a hint of mockery in her laughter.

The two felt unhappy and looked over. The one who was laughing was a strange woman. Although she had pretty features, her expression revealed a bit of indifference.

For some reason, the two Taoists felt disgusted when they saw her. The thin Taoist frowned and said, "Lady, what are you laughing at?"

Hong Lingbo raised his head and said proudly, "I laughed at the Quanzhen Sect for being such a prestigious and upright sect, but it turns out they can only plot against people behind their backs. Wang Chongyang claims to be the best in the world, but I'm afraid he's just talking nonsense!"

The first thing a disciple of the Tomb School does upon joining is to insult Wang Chongyang. If they have the conditions, such as there is a portrait in the tomb, they will spit on him. If they don't have the conditions, they will also curse that Wang Chongyang has a false reputation.

Hong Lingbo was as domineering as Li Mochou before, so how could he tolerate someone insulting his sect?

Even though Li Mochou had personally severed their master-disciple relationship.

But this has become her habit for many years, how can she change it all at once?

Similarly, in the eyes of the Quanzhen Taoists, Wang Chongyang was also a god-like existence. These words immediately made the two Taoists furious, but seeing that she was a woman, they could not attack directly and forced themselves to restrain their anger.

The fat Taoist said in a muffled voice: "At the foot of Mount Zhongnan, how dare you be so presumptuous? Whose power are you relying on?" Then he looked at Feng Yi who was silent.

Hong Lingbo was just angry at the moment and didn't know how to respond after hearing this. After all, she was fired by Li Mochou.

Feng Yi saw the fat Taoist priest's pig-like face and heard what they said. He thought that he must have been forced by Ouyang Feng to ask about the direction of the ancient tomb, which led to this miserable state. He felt a little embarrassed and could only say, "We are all fellow martial artists. Some quarrels are just trivial matters. If you are not happy, you should report it to the elders!"

As soon as he saw the two's movements, he knew that their martial arts were not as good as Hong Lingbo's. He was afraid that she would hurt the Quanzhen Taoist priest and it would be inconvenient for her to go up the mountain again.

But these words made the two even angrier, because Feng Yi was about the same age as them, and his tone was a bit too much.

The two Taoists stood up immediately, and the fat Taoist said, "I am Lu Qingdu, a disciple of the Quanzhen sect."

The thin Taoist priest said: "Liao Qingping..."

They said in unison: "Excuse me, young man, your name and who is your master?"

Feng Yi smiled and said, "My master is not in this world, so you wouldn't know even if I told you."

The two looked at each other, and Lu Qingdu shouted, "Do you look down on us, Your Excellency?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After hearing his name and knowing the role he played in the original plot, Feng Yi was really annoyed, so he ignored him and just started drinking.

Hong Lingbo said calmly: "You Quanzhen Sect has a large number of people and a lot of power. If you find out the details of the people, you will either complain to Master or rush forward, right?"

"How dare you!" Lu Qingdu shouted, "You are too arrogant!"

He shook his body and slapped with his left palm, then struck out with his right palm. This palm was the "Tiger Gate Hand" of the Quanzhen School, which was very powerful.

Hong Lingbo smiled slightly, put his hand on his waist, and a white belt jumped up and wrapped around the other person's wrist.

Lu Qingdu was surprised when he saw the power of the belt. His palms shrank and he blurted out, "Are you from the Ancient Tomb Sect?"

Liao Qingping also asked: "Young lady, are you Li Mochou's apprentice?"

On that day, Xiao Long Nu fought against Hao Da Tong with a silk ribbon. Both of them were present and her techniques were exactly the same as Hong Lingbo's.

Hong Lingbo swung the belt, and with a light snap, it was wrapped around his waist with an elegant and graceful posture.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly praised: "Good!"

Lu Qingdu shouted, "You, the Ancient Tomb Sect, are you determined to make things difficult for my Quanzhen Sect?" Feng Yi frowned and said, "I told you that you cannot represent the Quanzhen Sect, and she is not the Ancient Tomb Sect either. Go and do your own thing!"

Lu Qingdu said sternly: "Do you really think we are blind? You are so arrogant, you must be a master. Let me teach you a lesson!"

With a swish, he drew out a long sword from his waist. The sword swung and moved sideways, using a move called "Exploring the Sea and Slaying the Dragon" to stab Feng Yi in the waist.

Even though Feng Yi knew that this guy was the one who bullied Yang Guo, he didn't expect him to be so vicious and want to kill people with just one strike of the sword.

Feng Yi stretched out his crutch and immediately stuck it to the opponent's sword. His wrist shook slightly and his Shenzhao Gong came out. With a clang, Lu Qingdu's sword broke into two pieces.

With a bang, half of the sword tip shot onto the beam. Lu Qingdu took the half-broken sword and stepped back several steps. His face was flushed and he felt unspeakably sick in his heart. He was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that this boy of the same age as him had such profound internal strength.

If he knew that Feng Yi had only used less than 20% of his strength in order to avoid shocking the world, he would have been so frightened that he would have buried himself on the spot.

Liao Qingping was both horrified and impressed at this moment. Thinking of Lu Qingdu's character, he realized that Lu Qingdu had suffered a loss, and if he did not go up, he would definitely make things difficult for him in the future. So he whistled softly, drew his sword, and was about to jump up.

Suddenly, a man rushed in from the shop door, his movements were so swift that he grabbed the sword without even touching the ground, and snatched it away.

Liao Qingping turned around and saw a Taoist priest wearing a yellow crown and green Taoist robes. He immediately bowed and said, "Uncle Master Zhen, they are from the Ancient Tomb Sect."

Lu Qingdu also shouted, "Uncle Zhen, you have to make the decision for your disciple!"

He was Zhao Zhijing's disciple. He knew that his master was competing with Uncle Zhen for the position of the third-generation chief disciple. He was eager for him to come forward and teach this cripple a lesson, or be taught a lesson himself.

He had lost face, so it was difficult for him to compete with his master for the position.

The Taoist looked at Feng Yi, then at Hong Lingbo, bowed, and said in a clear voice: "I am Zhen Zhibing, a disciple of the Quanzhen Changchun Zhenren. I am honored to meet you two great sages. You are both disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect."

Zhen Zhibing is Qiu Chuji's second disciple. He is an excellent martial arts master and a talented person, and is highly respected in the Quanzhen Sect.

Among Qiu Chuji's disciples, Yin Zhiping was originally the best in martial arts, followed by Zhen Zhibing. However, in recent years, Yin Zhiping has been concentrating on the practice of inner alchemy and refining qi, and inevitably has become rusty in martial arts. Therefore, among the third generation of disciples, Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing competed for the top spot.

【Jin Yong's Note: In the original version of The Return of the Condor Heroes, the young Taoist priest who was infatuated with Little Dragon Girl in Quanzhen Sect was originally written as Yin Zhiping. But Yin Zhiping really existed, and his Taoist name was "Qinghe Zhenren". He was a disciple of Qiu Chuji and later served as the head of Quanzhen Sect. He was described as having a bad character, which damaged the image of the sage. In the third edition, his name was changed to "Zhen Zhibing". Although it sounds similar, there is no such person and it is purely fictional. 】

(In view of this, the protagonist, with his foresight advantage, will only be considered to be Zhen Zhibing, and will not be recognized as Yin Zhiping in the serialized or Sanlian versions.) Hong Lingbo is about forty years old, with a handsome face and smiling eyes. He has a bulging sack on his shoulder, which smells of medicine, and a long sword slung across his shoulder. He is very impressive and makes people feel close to him at first sight.

Feng Yi frowned and said nothing to this person. He was thinking about what he should do if he met the "Dragon Knight"! Hong Lingbo smiled and said, "So what if we are from the Tomb Clan? So what if we are not?"

Zhen Zhibing said, "If it is really the Ancient Tomb Sect, our two sects have a deep relationship with each other. Why should we start a war? If it is not the Ancient Tomb Sect, as long as the young lady explains the reason, Zhen Zhibing will have an explanation."

He looked calm and his tone was quite kind.

Lu Qingdu said hurriedly: "Uncle Master, the Ancient Tomb School martial arts that were used just now are exactly the same as those used by Xiao Longnu that night. Junior Brother Liao and I are not mistaken."

"Yes, Uncle Zhen. We won't be wrong."

Liao Qingping responded.

Zhen Zhibing shook his head and said, "Even if she is from the same sect as Miss Long, so what? You two were so reckless to fight with others with swords. If I hadn't arrived in time, if something went wrong, I'm afraid your master wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."

Lu Qingdu was dissatisfied and said unhappily: "They are so arrogant and think nothing of our Quanzhen Sect..."

"Shut up!" Zhen Zhibing shouted, "What our sect does is known to all heroes in the world. Who can decide what to do? Why don't you return to the mountain quickly!"

Lu Qingdu was very dissatisfied with the scolding, but Zhen Zhibing was his elder and he could not disobey the order, so he glared at Feng Yi and Hong Lingbo, threw the broken sword in his hand, and left.

Liao Qingping bowed to Zhen Zhibing and walked out of the store.

Zhen Zhibing then said to the two, “Since Yang Guo joined your sect, there have been many misunderstandings among our disciples. I hope you can forgive me.”

He had already seen that this woman was definitely related to the Ancient Tomb Sect. If not, she would have said it long ago.

The Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect have a deep relationship. It was not a big deal before, but everything changed after Yang Guo betrayed his sect and entered the ancient tomb.

This is because there are rules in the martial arts world. Without the permission of your own master, you cannot choose another master as your master. Even if the master you meet is ten times more powerful than your own, you cannot change your mind and rush to a higher position. Otherwise, it will be considered a serious rebellion and will be despised by your fellow martial artists.

In the past, after Guo Jing became a disciple of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, he learned martial arts from Hong Qigong, but he never called him "Master" until later when Ke Zhen'e and others officially allowed it, and then he and Hong Qigong became master and disciple.

That day, Granny Sun left Zhao Zhijing speechless. She never interacted with people from the martial arts world and didn't know the rules. She spoke nonsense and said that Yang Guo had already taken Xiaolongnu as his master, but she didn't know that she had violated a big taboo.

Yang Guo was only fourteen years old, and he was arrogant and ignorant. Everyone in the hall acknowledged that he had accepted Xiaolongnu as his master.

Most of the Quanzhen Taoists originally felt sorry for Yang Guo and felt that Zhao Zhijing's approach was inappropriate. However, when they heard that Yang Guo had the audacity to openly rebel against their master, which was unprecedented since the founding of Quanzhen Sect, they were all very angry.

As for the unfair treatment Yang Guo received in the Quanzhen Sect, it was only because Guo Jing had a great battle when he went to Mount Zhongnan and defeated all the Taoists miserably, thus offending many people. Many people who had suffered at the hands of Guo Jing took their anger out on Yang Guo, hoping that he would suffer more setbacks. Although it might not be out of malicious intent, it was also human nature to vent the dirty anger in their hearts.

However, Zhao Zhijing was a despicable person. He only taught Yang Guo the secrets of internal power but did not teach him the corresponding moves. Others were unaware of this.

Qiu Chuji, the only elder who cared about Yang Guo, went to Shanxi because of Li Mochou.

He could only tell Zhao Zhijing repeatedly before leaving that if Yang Guo made any mistake, he would be held responsible.

Unexpectedly, as Yang Guo started to betray his religion, Qiu Chuji came back and was helpless, thinking that like father, like son.

This is just another little beast who forgets his principles when he sees profit!

So what the Quanzhen Sect saw was that Yang Guo was disobedient and betrayed his master, while the Ancient Tomb Sect accepted their renegade. In addition, Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu successively defeated the Seven Quanzhen Sect, which was another slap in the face of the Quanzhen Sect. Everyone hated the Ancient Tomb Sect.

However, after seeing Xiaolongnu once, Zhen Zhibing was already obsessed with her and could not extricate himself from her, and had no hostility towards the Ancient Tomb Sect.

On Xiaolongnu's birthday, he scattered candied peaches and two jars of candied dates into the ancient tomb forest, and wrote gift notes. Xiaolongnu refused to accept them, but he still enjoyed doing this.

I went down the mountain today to buy medicine for Xiaolongnu.

Because when he was fighting with Zhao Zhijing last night, Xiao Longnu was injured and vomited blood, which made him very distressed. He wanted to move all the precious medicinal materials to Zhongnan Mountain and present them to Xiao Longnu.

When Feng Yi saw Zhen Zhibing's bag and smelled the medicine, he had basically figured out the direction. This period of time was when Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo took off their clothes and practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra in the flowers, and were affected and injured and vomited blood.

So he said nonchalantly: "Master Zhen is so easy to talk to. I'm afraid it's not because of our fellow Taoists, but because of Xiao Longnu's sake?"

Zhen Zhibing's thoughts were revealed by his words. His eyes lit up with surprise and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?" After saying these four words, he reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword.

"Want to take action!" Feng Yi sneered slightly, and rushed to Zhen Zhibing, opened his five fingers and grabbed his chest.

The two men were about ten feet apart. Feng Yi took a step forward. Before Zhen Zhibing could draw his sword, a strong wind blew up in his chest. He was very shocked and quickly pushed out with his left palm.

Feng Yi was surprised to see that his internal strength was quite strong and his palm technique was wonderful. He thought: "This guy is not a waste after all!"
