Chapter 34 How cruel
It was a very pleasant few days traveling in the secret realm. The powerful monsters here were better than none. Lin Zhusheng had just touched the threshold of LV10. This is secondary. What’s important is that he discovered a lot of new things, and was able to unlock a large number of snack recipes in one go.
After his unremitting efforts in making snacks and giving them away every day, he finally unlocked the intermediate snacks and food cooking functions of the cooking table after making a large number of snacks, and he can try cooking when he goes back.
The only thing that was wrong was that every time he gave fruit to others, the eldest brother's expression was not right, and he would often look at him vaguely.
In a normal context, it means that the other party also seems to want the fruit, but he has given these to the other party before and none of them were accepted, so it is ruled out.
After careful consideration, he finally came to the conclusion that the other party must be wondering how he could fit so many things on his body.
He felt that his conclusion made sense, so he no longer cared and just gave it as he should.
Coming out of the secret realm was like visiting a wholesale market. He returned to the flying boat bloated with bags, including his overflowing backpack and things that he couldn't fit in but was reluctant to throw away.
Every place on his body that could hold something was stuffed with things. The kitten in his clothes also had its space to move severely squeezed. It angrily gnawed the fruits around its body, carving out a piece of sky for itself.
The return journey was much more relaxing than the coming journey. A bunch of outer disciples were chatting happily. Wherever Lin Zhusheng was, he was the center of the crowd. He would eat fruit while listening to other people talking with a smile and nodding from time to time.
How cheerful they are, how quiet the inner sect disciples are. Several leading disciples gathered together to talk in a low voice. The boss maintained his beloved sword anytime and anywhere. After Wen Baizhou finished his business, he stood aside and looked at the disciples gathered together with his eyes lowered in thought.
He was really conspicuous. He was not on the same level as the people not far away, especially the boss. Some of the disciples were talking and looking over here.
Lin Zhusheng noticed it and turned around to ask, "Are you looking at the senior brother?"
Being caught off guard, several disciples turned their heads abruptly.
Very good, obviously watching. Several people looked at him for a long time, thinking that he had something to say. Lin Zhusheng, who was very direct and never beat around the bush, raised his head slightly and said, "If you have anything to say, you can talk to Senior Brother directly."
He was a very honest man. As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it. Several disciples rushed over and quickly held down his raised hand.
"?"
Surrounded by the crowd, it was so fast that he didn't know what was happening. Lin Zhusheng's eyes were wide open like bells, and he didn't even have time to swallow the fruit in his mouth.
Fortunately, he had Song Ming by his side, so he had a backer and was not pushed to the ground.
The bad news is that he hit the other person's chin with his head.
The collision was very solid and he thought he must have hurt the other person. He judged this based on the fact that the person looked a little uncomfortable. He probably didn't say anything because of his good upbringing.
Sitting up straight quickly, he quickly swallowed the fruit in his mouth and said sorry.
The well-educated Song Ming said it was okay, and stood up with the help of the cushion, saying, "I'll go for a walk."
It must be really painful, and I need to find a place to cry quietly. As an apology, Lin Zhusheng stuffed a few more fruits into the people's hands.
[Song and Ming favorability +5 (80/100)]
A notification popped up about the improved favorability. Lin Zhusheng paused in stuffing the fruit and looked at his fellow disciple named Song in disbelief.
This person...is he so well-mannered that even if he gets bumped into, will his favorability increase?
“…”
Zhang Jing, who was sitting quietly beside and witnessed the whole process, moved his eyes back and forth between the two people's faces. After raising his eyebrows, he finally chose to continue drawing talismans with his head down and chose to remain silent.
Song Ming took a walk with the pile of fruits. Lin Zhusheng reflected briefly, then played with the rest of his fellow disciples. When he turned around, he found that the eldest senior brother who was originally facing this side now had his back to this side.
Outside the flying boat was a familiar mountain range. He realized that he was almost there, so he stretched out his hand to stop the boat urgently and said, "You guys play, I'll leave for a while."
Standing up from the ground, he ran to find his senior brother.
There was nothing important for him to find someone for. The main thing was that during this trip in and out of the secret realm, he had increased the favorability of other people a lot. The only one who remained unchanged was probably the eldest brother.
There is a revived orchid flower in a wooden box at home, which can be given away. He originally wanted to imitate the people and lean against the railing, but he realized in time that he was now high in the air, so he stopped moving forward instantly, stood behind the person from a distance and asked: "Brother, do you have time when you return this time?"
The distance is very good, if it is a little further away, you can just stand at the other end of the boat.
There was an extra person behind him. Hearing the sound, Wen Baizhou, who was quietly enjoying the breeze, turned around. When he saw the distance between them, his brows moved slightly and he asked what was the matter.
"I have something very important to give you," Lin Zhusheng said, "but it's at my house, you need to go there to get it."
He is still an outer disciple and cannot enter where the inner disciples live. It is purely by fate that he can meet this man who rarely goes down the mountain. Now is a good opportunity to send the things out.
The eldest brother's fingers on the railing moved slightly, as if he was a little surprised, and asked a rare nonsense question: "Give it to me?"
Lin Zhusheng smiled, "That's not the case."
He often does little things secretly, and not everything he says is true, but his eyes are really long and sincere no matter how you look at them, especially when he smiles, his eyelashes are curved and his whole eyes are full of smiles.
Very good, Senior Brother is free today.
They agreed to meet again in the evening. When the flying boat was about to arrive, Lin Zhusheng said goodbye and ran to pack his bags, determined not to leave anything behind.
“Wow——”
As soon as he left, the boss, who had been watching from a distance, stopped polishing his beloved sword and quickly came over.
Leaning over the railing, the boss watched the people who had returned to the crowd carefully sorting out their belongings one by one, then retracted his gaze and asked Wen Baizhou: "What were you talking about just now? You seemed very happy."
As he remembered something, he took out the fresh fruit he had gotten today and took a bite.
The flying boat entered the sect and began to slowly descend, and the jade-white building could already be seen. Wen Baizhou glanced sideways and said, "You go to the sword arena by yourself today. I'm not going."
"Hmm?" The boss looked at him. "What?"
The flying boat stopped and everyone began to prepare to get off. Wen Baizhou took a step forward, turned back and said briefly as he walked: "He seems to have something for me."
"?"
The voice was as calm as usual, and the face still had the usual expression. After he finished speaking, he turned back. The boss only saw his back blown by the wind, and the man's gaze lightly fell on the fruit in his hand before he turned around to speak.
Leaning against the railing, the boss slowly reacted, his mouth twitched, and thousands of words converged into a simple: "...Tsk."
After getting off the flying boat, the journey to the secret realm is over and the disciples can disband and leave directly on the spot.
It is still early, still noon. Lin Zhusheng and his senior brother made an appointment to meet in the evening not for any other reason, but simply because he has to carry his own bags to deliver gifts before that.
There were many friends. After sending the teacher off, there was the steward. After sending the steward off, there was Wuqi. He stayed in the library with Wuqi for a while, and had a few snacks to replenish his energy. It was almost evening when he left.
He hurried home on his big sword.
Following the first rays of sunset light, he panted, pushed open the door and finally entered the house.
The room was filled with things of all sizes, but they were soon put away into rickety-looking wooden boxes, clearing out a large area. The kitten finally jumped off him, holding a red fruit and chewing it slowly.
The eldest senior brother came when he was still cleaning up. The door was not closed, and he noticed the figure immediately when it appeared. He leaned over and waved, asking the person to come in directly.
When Wen Baizhou walked into the room, the people inside were sitting cross-legged on the ground cleaning things. There were lots of strange things, ordinary grasses, rocks of incomprehensible shapes, and many other things that were rare in some way.
The sun was setting and the only light in the room was the orange-red sunset light that came in from the window, falling on the table and the ground, and staining the hair and clothes of the people on the ground.
He looked at it for a few more times, then turned around, found the lamp on the table, lit it, and half-knelt beside the person sitting cross-legged on the ground with the lamp in hand.
The view suddenly brightened up, and Lin Zhusheng realized that it was already dark. He thanked the senior brother who had kindly lit the lamp and said, "I'll finish sorting it out quickly, and I'll give it to you after I'm done."
Taking the long sleeves embroidered with ice-blue auspicious cloud patterns with silver needles and thread, Wen Baizhou said "OK" and naturally reached out to help tidy it up.
"?"
It was not until a hand appeared in his sight that the busy Master Lin realized what the man was doing. He did not expect that there would be a day when this senior brother would need help, and the purpose was to help him sort out the things that the kitten called garbage.
And it somehow coincides with my own train of thought, so I know where to put each thing. Master Lin paused while packing his things and uttered a small "eh".
His voice was easily caught, Wen Baizhou turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No," Lin Zhusheng gave a thumbs up, "I just wanted to praise Senior Brother for being homely."
The main thing is that I live in his house very much and have an eye for work. It would be even better if I could help to tidy it up all the time.
"Yeah."
Putting a herb in its proper place, Wen Baizhou said, "I lived with someone for a while."
"Um?"
Lin Zhusheng thought for a moment and said, "Then the other person living together must be very happy."
"Not really." Wen Baizhou shook his head slightly and said, "He left and never came back."
"You didn't even say hello?"
“No.”
It sounded rather pitiful, Lin Zhusheng patted her shoulder to comfort her, and gently reprimanded her: "How cruel."
Turning his head, his eyes slightly dropped to the hand on his shoulder, Wen Baizhou responded: "It's quite cruel."
