Unreasonable wishes
Lu Beichen didn't think Xu Shulou could fight a hundred people alone, but he was too embarrassed to ask his fellow junior brothers and sisters behind him to help him beat up his fiancée.
If he were to go on his own, the chances of bringing humiliation upon himself would be too high, and Lu Beichen did not have the hobby of asking for trouble.
He smiled gently: "Shu Lou, you misunderstood. Given the relationship between Wuchen Island and Lingxiao Sect, and your engagement to me, how could I fight with you?"
Xu Shulou put away the bloodstained handkerchief and looked at him with a half-smile: "So, do you guys want to stand here and watch us take the treasure?"
Lu Beichen raised his hand gracefully and made a gesture of invitation: "We will leave now, please."
Others were slightly dissatisfied. Lingxiao Sect had been thriving in recent years, and the disciples were used to being proud, so there was rarely a need to be humble. Moreover, the sect had not mentioned Wuchen Island much in recent years, and many disciples who joined later were not clear about the relationship between the two sects. However, they knew that Xu Shulou was Lu Beichen's fiancée, so they had to give face to the eldest brother. Even if they were dissatisfied, no one objected.
Before Lu Beichen left, he glanced at Bai Roushuang, who was still standing on a monk and holding a few money bags in her hands. When she saw him looking at her, she looked back blankly, as if asking, "What's wrong?"
Lu Beichen sighed inwardly, thinking that he should have suggested to Junior Sister Bai to join Lingxiao Sect earlier. The atmosphere of Wuchen Island did not seem to have any good influence on her.
Bai Roushuang had no idea what he was thinking, and she didn't even try to guess what he was thinking. Seeing that they were finally planning to leave, she happily prepared to distribute the spirit stones she had collected to her senior brothers and sisters.
The little fox temporarily formed an alliance with her, jumping around among the fallen monks, and bringing back a few money bags for her after each jump.
“Save us…” The monk who had fallen to the ground had expected them to severely punish Xu Shulou, but when he saw that they were actually leaving, he made a weak sound, “Save us… They are trying to rob us…”
Lu Beichen frowned slightly. He didn't want to get involved in this trivial matter. But a female voice came from behind him: "Fellow brothers and sisters of Wuchen Island, these people want to fight for the treasure, you should fight back, but why do you have to humiliate them in this way?"
Xu Shulou exclaimed, "Ah!" and asked blankly, "You want to pay for them?"
Bai Roushuang quickly took a few more purses and pricked up her ears when she heard the words.
The woman who was speaking came forward. She was slender and thin, with only slightly high cheekbones, which gave her a mean look that made her look unapproachable. She was wearing the clothes of an outer disciple of Lingxiao Sect, with a topaz hook hanging from her waist.
When Xu Shulou saw this dress, he immediately matched her with a woman in the storybook and was even a little excited. Oh, isn't this Huang Yinghe, Xu Shulou's ally in the storybook?
Even the worst people have a few friends, and this is exactly the case with Xu Shulou and Huang Yinghe in the story. When Xu Shulou was targeted by everyone because of his junior sister, someone jumped out to give her advice and help her target Bai Roushuang.
Of course, Huang Yinghe didn't really want to help Xu Shulou, but she also wanted to get Lu Beichen. On the one hand, she gave Xu Shulou advice on how to deal with Bai Roushuang, and on the other hand, she wanted to imitate Bai Roushuang's tenderness to attract Lu Beichen's attention.
However, her methods were very crude and were soon discovered and she was expelled from Lingxiao Sect.
Although both are annoying characters, their positioning in the story is not exactly the same. At least according to Xu Shulou's current dream progress, she can still survive, but Huang Yinghe has been torn to pieces by the demon wolf at the foot of Lingxiaomen Mountain.
Xu Shulou didn't understand why almost all the women whose names were mentioned in the storybook had a crush on Lu Beichen. Now he looked at him carefully again, trying to find some advantages that he hadn't discovered yet.
Lu Beichen noticed her gaze and thought she wanted him to be fair, so he felt helpless. Back then, when they wanted to borrow the power of Wuchen Island, Xu Shulou was a little arrogant, but now that the world has changed, why doesn't she know how to restrain herself in front of Lingxiaomen?
"I am sorry for being rude." Before he could say anything, Huang Yinghe bowed slightly. "Senior Brother Lu is a very kind and handsome man. I thought his fiancée would be like that too. But when I saw Senior Sister Xu using such means to trample on others' dignity for a little profit, I was shocked and blurted out, "Please forgive me, Senior Sister Xu."
In the storybook, the two were allies, but this time they lacked a common enemy, Bai Roushuang, so Huang Yinghe's ridicule was directed at her.
Xu Shulou opened his purse and showed her the spiritual stones he had collected, and explained seriously: "It's not a small profit. They gave a lot."
The corner of Huang Yinghe's mouth twitched slightly, and after looking carefully at the number of spirit stones, she felt a little envious for a moment.
However, what she said just now touched Lu Beichen's heart. He hesitated and wanted to hint to Bai Roushuang not to follow her bad example, but he was too proud of his status to say it.
But who is Bai Roushuang? She is the most beautiful girl in the storybook. She is very familiar with Huang Yinghe's tricks. Dare to use this trick on my senior sister? She gritted her teeth and immediately looked at Lu Beichen with a pale face: "Senior Brother Lu, do you think so too? Do you think what I did is a low-class trick?"
Huang Yinghe was targeting Xu Shulou, but Bai Roushuang was directly targeting herself. Lu Beichen was speechless and could only comfort her: "How could that be?"
Huang Yinghe opened her mouth. Where did this "not up to standard" come from? Although she did have a similar meaning, wasn't there something scheming about this word? She wanted to explain: "I didn't mean that. Don't talk nonsense and wrongly accuse me!"
Bai Roushuang did not argue with her. She lowered her head slightly when she heard the words, and said nothing. Only her body trembled slightly twice.
Lu Beichen just fell for it, and his heart was biased at that moment: "Junior Sister Huang's words were too harsh, don't take it to heart."
Huang Yinghe's face turned pale: "Senior Brother Lu, I..."
Xiao Ya saw them arguing and got annoyed. She interrupted Huang Yinghe and said, "Shut up."
Huang Yinghe was a little afraid of Xiao Ya. This princess of the Xiao Kingdom's royal family had always had a bad temper. Moreover, the Lingxiao Sect had a strict hierarchy. She was an outer sect disciple, so she had no right to speak in front of an elder's direct disciple like Xiao Ya. Just now, she saw that everyone was a little dissatisfied, so she dared to stand up and ask for favors. After hearing this, she dared not say anything more.
Xiao Ya looked at Lu Beichen again: "Big Brother, are we going to leave or not?"
“…Let’s go now.” Lu Beichen remembered that his father had joked with him since he was a child, telling him never to get involved in women’s quarrels. He finally understood the real meaning of his father’s joke at this moment. He smiled bitterly and led everyone out of the ice cave.
Before Xiao Ya left, she nodded stiffly to Xu Shulou as a greeting.
Bai Roushuang watched them leave, sweeping away her pale and weak appearance, and sighed, "It's so annoying. I really want to rob them too."
Xu Shulou smiled and said, "Let's wait for a chance in the future."
Bai Roushuang looked at her sideways and began to wonder if the senior sister was being too pampering to her, wanting to help her fulfill even such an unreasonable wish.
