Chapter 9: Bribing with a Bowl of Porridge
Ye Xiaoman happily took the tray and found a seat by the window.
The food in the cafeteria is of good quality and low price. The ingredients are produced and sold by the sect itself, and they have their own spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to spiritual practice.
It is not easy to eat such delicious food in the end times. Ye Xiaoman felt the fragrance of the meat buns blooming on the tip of her tongue and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
The people around stopped eating and looked at Ye Xiaoman in shock, like the sun rising from the west.
"Ye Xiaoman won't deliver food to Xiao Chujing today."
"She ate the food herself!"
Ye Xiaoman devoured 20 dumplings and a bowl of rich white porridge in no time.
After a burp, he stood back at the food window.
"Is it possible to get free refills of porridge?"
"Give me another bowl of porridge and take it away."
Ye Xiaoman, carrying the porridge, disappeared at the entrance of the cafeteria and walked towards the mountain where Xiao Chujing lived.
Everyone watched her disappear and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"A dog always eats shit, and he's still in love."
Xiao Chujing lives in an elegantly decorated courtyard on the top of a mountain.
Besides him, there were three other male cultivators living there.
Just as the sky was getting light, the sound of piling could be heard in the shared yard.
"Junior Brother Xiao, you got up so early today."
Xiao Chujing was chatting absentmindedly with his fellow students, glancing towards the door from time to time.
Unlike usual, he felt a little bit of anticipation for Ye Xiaoman's appearance.
She will also bring him food today, right?
Soon, a slender figure wearing light green disciple uniform appeared in Xiao Chujing's eagerly awaited vision.
"Oh, Junior Sister Ye is here again." The male cultivators started to make a noise. The person standing next to Xiao Chujing grinned evilly and nudged him with his elbow.
A faint dimple appeared at the corner of Xiao Chujing's mouth.
The only one who didn't join in the commotion was the eldest senior brother who lived with Xiao Chujing.
He was practicing swinging his sword, and seeing this, he rolled his eyes and started to say something sarcastic, "That's great, Junior Brother Xiao, you'll never have to worry about having no money to eat."
Alas, the aura of the eldest brother as a cannon fodder is still so strong.
A successful male protagonist in a male-oriented novel must have a physique that makes him want to curse even an ant passing by. No matter what he does, there will always be a group of jealous monsters around him who rush out to mock him.
Unfortunately, the eldest brother got such a role. As the control group, he was crushed by the male protagonist and was slapped in the face. It was his fate.
The eldest brother watched Ye Xiaoman walk towards Xiao Chujing and was so jealous that he was almost smoking.
He is also good-looking, and his family background is a hundred times better than Xiao Chujing's, so why is there no one pursuing him?
"Hello, Senior Brother Xiao."
Ye Xiaoman greeted Xiao Chujing first, then walked towards the eldest senior brother.
The eldest brother waved his hand irritably, "Go away, go away, a bunch of ungrateful wolves."
"Big Brother, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? This porridge is for you."
"Humph, what's so great about someone delivering food? If I want to, I can..." The eldest brother's mumbling suddenly stopped, "Eh? For me?"
The male cultivators who were making a fuss in the yard suddenly fell silent. They all looked at Xiao Chujing at the same time. Xiao Chujing's confidently extended hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air.
The eldest brother felt relieved when he saw Xiao Chujing's face darken instantly.
"Thank you, thank you, Junior Sister." He took the porridge from Ye Xiaoman somewhat helplessly.
Ye Xiaoman's sweet talk flowed freely, "I heard that Senior Brother has been taking care of his stomach recently, so I only sent porridge. I also asked someone to add a lot of pickled mustard greens."
The eldest brother was touched: "Junior sister, you are so thoughtful. Everyone knows that I have stomach problems, but you are the only one who takes the initiative to care for me."
The eldest brother opened the lid of the thermos bowl with great care. In order to show off, he chose to eat on the stone table in the yard.
Seeing that the senior brother was very satisfied, Ye Xiaoman felt relieved.
The first step to please the eldest brother worked.
I'll take care of your place in the sect, please.
"Please eat your breakfast well. I will bring you breakfast every day from now on."
"Um!"
You don’t have to spend a cent, just focus on the emotional price.
Ye Xiaoman left. When she passed by Xiao Chujing, she nodded to him gracefully.
Xiao Chujing returned the greeting lightly, turned around and walked back to his room, looking unhappy from behind.
Ye Xiaoman didn't have time to think about Xiao Chujing's mood changes.
Since Xiao Chujing hated the original body's pestering him so much, she would just keep her distance from him in the future.
Ever since she found out that Sikong Qing was a man, she could no longer look Xiao Chujing in the eye.
Today is Ye Xiaoman’s first day experiencing the life of cultivating immortals after traveling through the book.
Understanding the rules and details of the righteous sect also determines how long she can survive as an undercover agent in the demon world.
She therefore put in all her energy and devoted herself to the task.
Outer disciples would gather in the auditorium for morning classes at 9:00 a.m. every day.
Morning classes will teach some basic knowledge of cultivation.
Ye Xiaoman had made up her mind to practice well, so she arrived at the classroom early and occupied the best seat for listening to the class.
This morning was a little special. Before the teacher's lecture, the great elder of the outer sect, who had never appeared before, made a rare appearance in front of the disciples.
"As everyone knows, the sect has been somewhat turbulent recently."
The Great Elder's gaze swept across the faces of every disciple, and a powerful pressure emanated from his body. The disciples felt dizzy, their knees shaky and they almost fell to their knees.
The majestic voice echoed in every corner.
"Half a month ago, several major families in the Demon Realm united and attacked our Qingzheng Sect, intending to seize our sect's most precious treasure, the Futian Pan."
"Fortunately, our faction responded promptly, and the demon clan's evil ambitions could not be realized."
"After half a month of hard work, all the demon clan undercover agents lurking in the sect, a total of over a hundred people, have been executed."
"Last night, the leader of this operation in the Demon Realm, the evil demon from the Sikong clan, was discovered by the ancestors when he tried to escape from the sect."
"Although he escaped in the end, his spiritual veins were completely shattered, and he won't live long."
The Great Elder cleared his throat and said, "This is his wanted portrait. If you know his whereabouts, please report it immediately. The sect will reward you handsomely."
"If anyone dares to harbor a criminal..."
"Pulling out souls and stripping away bones, annihilating all nine clans!"
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Ye Xiaoman always felt that the elder's gaze stayed on her for an unusually long time, but her strong psychological quality was her strength.
"The demons and I are irreconcilable!" Even when they shouted slogans together, they were louder than others.
The eldest brother distributed the wanted map to everyone.
The man in the picture is short and wearing a ghost mask. His face cannot be seen clearly and he looks completely different from Sikong Qing himself.
It seems that Sikong Qing used a magic weapon to conceal his true identity when he was surrounded.
The Great Elder called him "Sikong" instead of calling him by his name, which showed that the sect was not clear about his specific identity.
Ye Xiaoman secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Sikong Qing hides well with her, he will most likely not be found out.
As soon as the rumors died down, she would quietly move him out of the sect, sever ties with him, and eliminate the hidden danger.
Being an undercover agent and harboring criminals at the same time was really too much for her.
