Chapter 72 Forest
After leaving the meeting room, Yu Han hesitated and whispered, "Master, I don't quite understand."
"What don't you understand?" The manager was very satisfied with this new disciple and was naturally more tolerant.
"They say they'll let nature take its course, but they've tampered with the portrait." He paused, then continued, "And what does that mean, is it about arresting or not arresting?"
The steward patiently explained, "Actually, the main purpose of the portraits is to disgust the Cheng clan. After all, they used to disgust us a lot when they followed the Ming Lan Sect. As for whether they are arrested or not, what does it have to do with us?"
Yu Han stood there in a daze.
"Strictly speaking, this matter is a dispute between Minglan Sect and Chengyi Sect. Yisan Sect and us are merely dragged into it. We don't need to help Chengyi Sect, let alone Yisan Sect. As long as there are only four of them, it has nothing to do with us. Whether they can survive depends on what the people below do."
He suddenly realized that this time there was no talk of rewards or punishments, nor was the message delivered through conventional channels. Whether to help or not was the business of the people below, so what did it have to do with them, the ones who issued the orders?
However, not favoring the strong is already the greatest help to the Yisan Sect. After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, weakness is the original sin.
In the evening, Tao Zi and her friends huddled under the bridge, staring at a group of homeless people.
Homeless people usually find a place to live in the city to shelter from the wind and rain because they have no money, and Tao Zi and his friends also have no money.
As ridiculous as it sounds, they just don't have the money.
Xi Jing was depressed and was protected by Zhao Xue and others in the innermost circle, and once again realized the importance of money.
In reality, even if cultivators had no money, they still had places to go. Every city had a place dedicated to helping independent cultivators. Unless they encountered a hostile sect, the stewards never minded spending a little money to help disciples of other sects or independent cultivators.
But... they are wanted, how sad.
Xi Jing squatted in the corner with a resentful look on her face, carefully counting the belongings of her own sect. There was only one word to describe it - poor.
Tao Zi suddenly walked out, looked at the sky, and blurted out, "It's going to rain."
Han Yueshan looked over in confusion and asked, "So?"
"We can't avoid the rain from this location."
He was very smart: "How can we avoid it?"
The eldest sister's gaze slowly turned to a good position.
The homeless man at that position smiled grimly, looked at the eldest sister, and said, "There's no need to refuse a beautiful girl who comes to your door, right?"
A group of homeless people stood up. Han Yueshan rolled up his sleeves and sighed, "Great, the guilt is gone. Xiao Xue, cover Xijing's eyes."
How long had passed? Technically, less than a minute, but to those homeless people, it felt like eternity.
They lay on the ground with despair, while the eldest sister had already led her younger brothers and sisters to sit in the best seats.
Han Yueshan sighed: "Not bad, this place has been wiped very clean."
For safety reasons, that night, Xi Jing, who was the weakest in fighting power, slept inside, Tao Zi and Zhao Xuehu, who were still injured, slept at both ends, and Han Yueshan was on the outside.
He originally wanted to stay awake to protect his senior and junior sisters, but after a day of running around and being worried, he finally fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there were lightning, thunder, wind and rain.
Han Yueshan was chilled to the point of being alert. He opened his eyes and saw his fellow junior brothers and sisters sleeping against each other, immersed in their dreams and unable to wake up. Senior sister... where was his senior sister?
He shuddered and regained his consciousness. He turned around and looked around. His senior sister was meditating beside him, facing the homeless man.
A group of homeless people who were being beaten by the rain and the wind looked at them resentfully, especially the two young men who were sleeping soundly.
He looked away as if nothing had happened and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister, aren't you going to sleep? I'm already awake."
"It's okay, you should rest now, you will be very tired tomorrow."
Eh? Senior Sister did make plans? But they argued all the way and still couldn't decide which direction to go.
Confused, he fell asleep.
The next morning, the senior sister woke them up directly, but the homeless people were still asleep.
Xi Jing hesitantly packed her few belongings and said, "Sister, do you want to leave something behind?"
"No need." The senior sister hesitated for a moment, then explained, "Do you see any small or weak homeless people here? They were able to sleep here because they robbed the houses. They're just not as skilled as others this time."
Xi Jing nodded silently.
Han Yueshan was afraid that she would be biased, so as soon as they left the city, he patiently explained, "Xi Jing, the weak are not necessarily innocent. Just like Xuan Zhaoqi, he was weaker than my senior sister, but he was not innocent. We can't always favor the weak and think only of them. It's not our fault that they are weak."
Xi Jing said speechlessly: "I know, I was just thinking about something else."
He asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
“How to make money.”
Zhao Xue was also thoughtful: "Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books, but without money, you can't go anywhere. This is a problem."
Han Yueshan said with disdain: "Showing off your knowledge again."
He retorted, "Better than you, I can't even drop my book bag."
Tao Zi looked over in surprise. Usually, Zhao Xue would always maintain outward respect for his senior brother, even if he secretly harbored a tinge of disdain, just like he did for his master. Such blatant mockery was rare, truly rare.
Han Yueshan was also shocked. His junior brother was very particular about hierarchy and had always mocked him in secret. What happened now?
The senior brother and sister looked at each other and suddenly understood the situation. This was the aftereffect of leaving their master!
Unexpectedly, the one who relied on the master the most among them was Zhao Xue.
Han Yueshan winked at his senior sister: Senior sister, what should we do?
The eldest sister gave a "helpless" look in response with an expressionless face.
She had never encountered such a thing before. At least the three non-human creatures she had led before would never rely on that elusive master.
Han Yueshan sighed, pondering for the entire morning. He looked up and saw the Dayless Forest? The legendary Black Forest where those below the Foundation Establishment stage could not return, and those below the Rotating Illumination stage would either die or be injured?
He looked around with a stiff face and found that there was only one way into the forest, no other.
"S-Sister?"
The eldest sister looked at them amiably and said, "Do you know how to cultivate combat awareness?"
"I don't know, but..." He doesn't want to know now!
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. You will find out today."
The eldest sister's smile was so kind that even Zhao Xue, who felt something was wrong, shuddered.
Han Yueshan encouraged himself. As the second senior brother, he must have the courage to face difficulties head-on. "Big Sister, what should we do now?"
"Into the forest."
In fact, maybe, probably, he also has to learn to throw a tantrum on behalf of his fellow junior brothers and sisters?
