Chapter 187 Scene 12 (Inverted V) The young men were young, and since...
"What?! Why did we all get zeros on the combat capability test?!"
"Well, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me..."
"Listen to you?! Old man, is this how you, the Lotus Sect, conduct assessments?! We clearly saved everyone, and there were no casualties, so why are our assessment results so poor?!"
"Um, Grandpa, I know you may have your own set of assessment criteria, but aren't our results a little too low?"
"It's not just too bad. We all scored zero points. We probably don't even meet the standards of a sweeping disciple."
"Ahem! That's enough! Just be quiet for a moment and stop making noise!"
The old man coughed violently a few times, covered his mouth and said, "You guys, do you still think you are so powerful?"
"Isn't it amazing?" Tang Xiqin frowned.
"Ahem, ahem, of course they're not that bad!" the old man's eyes widened. "Do you know how terrifying demons are? You helped them turn back into humans this time, but how do you know if they'll turn back into demons and cause harm again?!"
"Hey, old man, what do you mean by this?" Tang Xiqin said, "They are all victims. They turned into demons just to seek justice for themselves. When have they ever harmed anyone?!"
"It hasn't happened before, but it's hard to say what will happen next time!!"
"You damn old man—"
"Okay, Miss Tang, calm down first. I'll talk to him." Yuan Yang stopped Tang Xiqin who was about to beat the old man.
"Sister Tang, that old man is so pedantic, don't bother with him. Let's go eat something delicious later!"
"That's right! Miss Tang, don't be angry. I'll give you some talismans!"
"Exploding Curse? It seems Master Ben also...?"
"No no no no! I got the wrong one!"
"Hey, hey hey?! I'm not young anymore. If you dare to use the blasting spell on me, you will definitely be in trouble!"
"Grandpa, they're just joking. You won't be angry with them, will you?" Yuan Yang walked up to the old man and said to him, "But can you explain to us in detail why our grades are so poor?"
"Humph! It's because you let those monsters go!" The old man crossed his arms and replied angrily, "I really don't know what you were thinking. You showed mercy to monsters like monsters!"
"Old man! I told you they were victims! They never hurt anyone!"
"Bullshit! Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!! Don't you know how terrifying demons are?! You were born in a prosperous era, so you naturally haven't witnessed the scene of humans being wantonly slaughtered by demons. Back then, where were there any intact houses or fields?! If it weren't for our fierce resistance, you wouldn't even know where you are in the belly of some demon right now!"
"But Grandpa, there are good and bad monsters, right? The monsters we met this time were all poor women who were abducted. They were ordinary humans like us at first, and only later did they become monsters. Even so, they didn't harm humans at will. They just took revenge and then never went out to see people again."
"Then why do you think they turned into demons?! Wasn't it because a great demon seduced them that they became demons?!"
"...Grandpa, do you hate monsters?"
"certainly!"
"Then, if we capture and kill those monsters, can our test scores be improved?"
"It's not impossible..."
"Yuan Yang!! How could you?!"
"Haha, so excited? Well, let's do this. Within three days, you must bring back their bodies, otherwise, you won't even be able to be a sweeping disciple!"
"It's a deal."
“It’s a deal!!”
"Yuan Yang!! How can you make decisions on your own?! I don't agree!! I don't agree!!"
"'I don't agree! I don't agree!' Sister Tang kept shouting that all the way through. Her acting was so convincing that I thought she was really angry!"
"Of course, Miss Tang is the best at this. I always have trouble telling the real from the fake!"
"Alright, thank you for the compliment, Xiaoshu. But what Master Ban said sounds strange to me. It seems like you're not convinced."
“No, no…”
"Oh, but by the way, Miss He, how did you come up with such a good plan?" Tang Xiqin walked on the street with a piece of grass in her mouth. She turned around and asked He Yuezhe, "Looking at the old man's smug look, I almost couldn't help laughing!"
He Yuezhe was walking beside Chen Shuo. Upon hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "It was just a sudden inspiration."
"Wow——" everyone exclaimed.
"I always thought Miss He was the serious type, but I didn't expect that!" Ban Weile was surprised.
"Maybe we were just unfamiliar with each other before. Miss He calls me Xiao Shu now." Chen Shu smiled.
"Wow!" Ban Weile opened his mouth wide, "I see, it seems I have a stereotype about Miss He!"
"Okay, since everyone has decided not to join the Lotus Sect, where should we go next?" Yuan Yang walked in front with a map in his hand.
Do not join the Lotus Sect.
Yes, as early as when they had resolved the issue with Meng Guanying, they had decided together not to join the Lotus Sect.
The reason is very simple, because they suddenly discovered that there are still many poor people struggling in pain in the world. If they just stay in the sect to practice, then they may not be able to help these poor people until a long time later. What's more, these big sects have always hated monsters. At that time, they can only raise their butcher knives and fight them to the death.
But what is a teenager?
It is the unrestrained feeling of "The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and all the flowers in Chang'an can be seen in one day", the self-confidence of "The young man regards danger as flat ground, and wields a long sword alone in the autumn", the boundless future of "The golden unicorn is not a creature in the pond, it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and cloud", and the unrestrained and uninhibited feeling of "My body is a hollow boat in the world, and I can be free wherever I am".
The young men are fearless and ready to venture out into the world, gaining kung fu and fame, and saving people from danger.
"How about going north and seeing the snow in the north?"
"It's too cold. I'd better go south to the Jiangnan water village. There are flowers and trees. It must be very comfortable!"
"Will it be very humid? Actually, it would be nice to walk up these high mountains in the west and enjoy the scenery, right?"
"High mountains? I feel tired just hearing that. It's still very dry in the west, right? I feel like we'd die of thirst there..."
"We can't go anywhere, what do you want?"
"How about..."
"That's what I thought!"
"Me, me too!"
"What do you mean?"
"Let's get some horses and ride wherever we want. There's no destination to set, just do whatever we want!"
"What about food and drink? Where are we going to live?"
“…”
“…”
"...Hmm, that seems to be a problem."
"Hey, I say, why don't we go accept the bounty?" He Yuezhe looked at the notice board at the city gate and said, "No need to worry about the destination, and there's money to be made."
"Oh, a bounty!" Ban Weile's eyes lit up, "Yeah, why didn't we think of a bounty!"
"Good idea!" Tang Xiqin clapped her hands. "Then let's rest here for one more night and do some shopping. We'll go back to the main city the day after tomorrow morning. The bounty there should be higher than here."
"Miss He, I'm afraid you'll be gone for a long time. You can write a letter home to let them know you're safe. It would be bad if you forget to do so when you get busy."
"Yeah, okay."
"Well, now that everything's settled and we don't have anything to do tomorrow, everyone, let's go eat hot pot!!!"
^
"tasty!!"
"I've heard that this hot pot restaurant in Lotus Sect City is delicious, but I didn't expect it to be this good! If they hadn't always locked me up, I would have come here to eat a long time ago!"
"Mmm, mmm, delicious, delicious."
"Master Ban should eat less glutinous rice cakes and more vegetables. Come, have some bean sprouts."
"Bean sprouts...hiss, so spicy, so spicy!"
"Oh, it seems you can only eat the clear soup with Brother Yuan!" Tang Xiqin sighed regretfully, turned around and picked up a handful of bean sprouts for Chen Shuo and He Yuezhe who were sitting on the other side of her. "Come on, Xiao Shuo, Miss He, sing about the bean sprouts here."
"Also, there's this ring roll, it's super delicious!"
"Thank you, Sister Tang."
"Hey Xiaoshu, don't you really want to eat some meat? It's very tender."
"I don't want to eat it."
"Well, Miss He, there's beef and mutton in the pot. You can eat whatever you like."
"good."
The hot pot restaurant was very lively. A group of people sat by the window in the lobby. The heat waves and the breeze mixed together, making their mouths hot. He Yuezhe couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
"I haven't eaten hotpot for a long time. It feels like it was in my previous life." Tang Xiqin said happily while eating a rattle roll.
"Indeed, there are too many people in the hot pot restaurant in the main city, and it is impossible to get a seat." Yuan Yang nodded.
"Luckily, no one here is interested in hot pot, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to eat it today."
"So, will they go bankrupt while running?" Ban Weile asked while drinking water.
"It's over, it's possible!" Tang Xiqin put down her chopsticks immediately after hearing this, "No, such a delicious restaurant can't be allowed to go bankrupt!"
"——So, Miss Tang, is this why you gave them so much money?! Just because no one comes to eat and you're afraid they'll go bankrupt? Aren't you afraid they'll run away with the money?!"
"Quiet, quiet, Master Ban," Tang Xiqin leaned against the window, waving the excitedly shouting servant away, and calmly ate a piece of meat. "It's just a small amount of money, and their shop is well decorated and the food is good. With the money, they won't have to worry about bankruptcy in the future."
"That little bit of money should be enough to keep us from going bankrupt, right?" Ban Weile said shakily, "Miss Tang, if you can give me that much money someday, I will definitely repay you well..."
"You? Sure, but within a year, I need to see you—"
"Stop, stop, stop! Miss Tang, I was just joking. I don't have the business acumen. I'll only lose money if I take it..."
"People always have to grow up, Master Ban. You should also know that money is very useful in this world."
"I know……"
"Why don't you work harder? You're no match for someone who only knows how to fight!"
"I can teach you for free," Yuan Yang said.
"No, forget it. Brother Yuan, you should just focus on your research. I won't bother you teaching me!"
"What about me, Brother Ban? Let me teach you?" Chen Shu pointed at himself.
"No, no, Xiaoshu, this is too much trouble for you. You are not in good health, you should rest more..."
"Hey, Master Ban, what are you so depressed about? You've looked so depressed since just now." Tang Xiqin finally couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, that's right, me, I..." Ban Weile said shyly, pouting, and whispering very softly, "I want to study medicine..."
"That's a good thing."
