"Pah, what a piece of rubbish!"
In a corner of the base hall, a tall young man spat the biscuit in his mouth onto the ground with an indignant look on his face.
Around him, there were several people resting with him, all with the same discontented look on their faces, echoing:
"That's right, Senior Brother Liu, this is simply not food for humans! Even dog food is better than this!"
"Thinking back to when we were in the sect, all we ate and drank were magical elixirs and wines. We never felt so miserable! Senior Brother Liu, please take us out quickly. I can't stand staying here any longer."
The tall young man was named Liu Fang. He was in the initial stage of foundation building and was an outer disciple of Tianyin Sect.
Although more than 300 people received modern courses in night school together, it was impossible for everyone to be a "good student".
Liu Fang and his group of followers were such a group of people. Because they were not well versed in knowledge, they could only do some basic work in the base, such as carrying goods.
These people were not the type to focus on cultivation on Fengyuan Star. They were able to squeeze into the sect mostly because of their family connections. Once they entered the outer gate, they could rest assured.
The disciples in Tianyin Sect can be divided into four categories: menial servants, outer disciples, inner disciples, and personal disciples.
The menial disciples would be replaced every once in a while, but once they entered the outer sect, they were equivalent to formal members of the sect. As long as they didn't make any big mistakes, they could live there until they died.
Liu Fang and his people are among the best who just live a life of idleness and waiting to die.
"Hush, keep your voice down!" Liu Fang lowered his voice and tapped the follower who had just complained. "Are you afraid that others will know that we want to leave?"
"Oh... there are only a few of us here right now." The complaining follower rubbed his head with a sad face.
"This kind of thing can't be rushed. Do you think it's that easy to hide something from Elder Chu?" Liu Fang snorted coldly. "Come here!"
Upon hearing this, several people quickly pricked up their ears and moved closer to Liu Fang.
"Listen carefully, I've been studying the base's operations for a while..."
Liu Fang and a few others gathered in a group and whispered to each other. From time to time, sinister laughs could be heard, which puzzled other employees not far away.
Another sturdy man came from a distance, holding documents. He was Li Dayin.
He looked much thinner than before, and it was obvious that he was exhausted from his busy work.
Li Dayin quickly came up to the few people and saw their expressions, sighing inwardly.
It's not rest time now, but this group of people are just sitting on the ground nonchalantly, looking like they are in a bad mood.
It took so much effort to rescue them, and Sister Chu even personally built such a large shelter. Some people don't cherish such good living conditions in the wasteland.
"Team three, after you've rested, go to the stern. We have a batch of spare parts to transport."
He didn't want to get too close to these people, and since he still had a lot of work to do, his tone was a little stiff.
But this stiff tone sounded particularly harsh to Liu Fang.
He was interrupted and anger began to appear on his face. He had long disliked Li Dayin:
"stop!"
Li Dayin just turned around, but was stopped by Liu Fang's words.
He frowned. "What's the matter?"
"What else do you want to ask me?" Liu Fang stood up suddenly, and the other brothers followed suit, glaring at Li Dayin.
"Li Dayin, you are a fatherless and motherless errand disciple. Why do you have the right to ride on the heads of us outer disciples?"
"What did you say?!" Dayin's face darkened. The words were a bit harsh, and they hit him right in the gut.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" The servant who had just complained chimed in. "You're just a servant, not even a doorman, and you dare to boss us around? Who do you think you are?"
"Don't forget who rescued you from the slave market. I'm just assigning you tasks according to regulations. Maowei Company doesn't keep idle people!"
In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with Liu Fang and his group of dissolute playboys.
"Hmph, whether to support idlers or not is not something you, a mere errand disciple, can decide!" Liu Fang snorted coldly, not hiding the contempt in his eyes at all.
"Liu Fang, this is a different time now. Feng Yuan is in chaos, and Tian Yin is falling. We are from the same sect, so we should work together. Why get entangled in this?"
Dayin still remembered Chu Yao's advice that unity is the most important thing.
"Even if we work together, it won't be with you!" Liu Fang's words were full of thorns.
"Alas." Li Dayin sighed helplessly. "What do you want? I still have a lot of work to do."
"Hmph, you servant dared to interrupt the outer disciples' conversation. This is insubordination! You kowtow to me three times right now, and I'll let you go when I'm in a good mood."
"You're being unreasonable!" Li Dayin's voice rose, and the employees nearby all looked over. "Liu Fang, as the leader of the Maowei Company's service team, I order you to take your people to work immediately!"
"What, you want to fight? Come on, if you're brave enough, let's see who's stronger, you alone or us as a group!"
The two sides were already arguing furiously and were ready to roll up their sleeves and fight.
Many people around came to try to stop the fight, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic. The work that should have continued was also suspended due to the sudden change.
"What are you doing! Stop it!"
Gong Xiaoran's voice came from not far away. When everyone saw it was her, the quarrel suddenly became much quieter.
Xiaoran still has a lot of prestige in the company.
She walked into the middle of the crowd, and Chu Yao followed behind. When Liu Fang's group saw Chu Yao coming, they felt a little uneasy, but they didn't show it.
The two exchanged glances, Chu Yao nodded, and Gong Xiaoran turned his gaze to the people around him:
"Return to your posts and do what needs to be done."
Soon, they were the only ones left.
Gong Xiaoran was about to say something when Chu Yao spoke first.
She looked at Liu Fang with indifference in her eyes: "If I heard correctly, you little guys want to run away?"
Hearing Chu Yao's question, Liu Fang's face turned pale, and the others' legs trembled. Following Liu Fang, they knelt down with a thud:
"Chu, Elder Chu, we have the will but not the courage... No, no, we don't have the will at all! We were just joking, just joking! Elder, please give us a way out..."
"Weren't you all so awesome just now? Why are you so scared now?" Chu Yao put his hands behind his back, unreservedly displaying the pressure from a Jindan cultivator. "Come on, stand up."
No one dared to stand.
"I said stand up, don't you understand?"
Under the pressure, Liu Fang was already sweating all over. He had no choice but to prop up his trembling legs and stand up with his back bent.
"Dayin, what you said just now is right. Maowei Company doesn't keep idle people." Chu Yao looked at the few people with a cold look. "Since you want to leave, then I won't keep you either. Xiaoran, open the back door and kick them out!"
"Ah?" Liu Fang was stunned.
