Chapter 265: Plucking the Feathers of Passing Geese
In order to make up for his "loss", Bai Yaoyao packed almost everything nearby into the system backpack.
Especially the octopus eggs in that seamount!
Bai Yaoyao was so nauseous and scared that she almost wanted to vomit. She gritted her teeth as she took them all in, even the broken eggshells!
Bai Yaoyao's madness made Lu Bai tremble with fear. He tugged at Chen Yingjie's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Chen, Sister Bai is usually like this... uh..."
"Is this so stingy?"
"......Yeah!" Chen Yingjie nodded, feeling very complicated.
Lu Bai was simple, and his thoughts were all written on his face. Seeing him looking at Bai Yaoyao with a shattered expression on his face, Chen Yingjie also turned his head and cast his gaze towards the figure of the girl who was busy on the sea mountain. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled gently, then said thoughtfully:
"If she hadn't been thinking about the whole family, with her abilities, why would she want to take everything away..."
Lu Bai paused, and his voice became low, "Senior Brother Chen, does your Longhua Sect also have many disciples that need to be supported?"
He only heard from his senior brothers that Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Chen were from Longhua Sect, a small and unknown sect, and he knew nothing else.
I didn't expect that the Longhua Sect was the same as their Xiaoyao Sect, and they had to worry about the disciples' spiritual food and elixirs every day...
"Yes! Junior sister, she is the most unique one in our sect! She used to work hard outside alone. She was able to bring back so many things to the sect. I believe she must have been like now, facing the strange eyes of others, picking and choosing, wishing to bring all the good things back to the sect for us!"
"If it wasn't for us, why would Junior Sister work so hard? And still be despised and stingy by you!" Chen Yingjie laughed at himself, then sighed, "I hope that one day, I can help her..."
Chen Yingjie secretly made up his mind that he must practice faster! Faster!
He must work day and night to be worthy of the opportunity Bai Yaoyao gave him!
In this way, even if he can no longer follow Bai Yaoyao to other places in the future, he will still be of some use.
Instead of being like now, even if I’m picking up “garbage”, I can only watch Bai Yaoyao busying herself alone!
Chen Yingjie sighed for a moment, but to Lu Bai's ears, it sounded like a loud thunder.
Because of his special physique, he was instructed by Lingxiao Xuanzun and joined the Xiaoyao Sect.
The Xiaoyao Sect was in decline, the master was injured in his early years, and his cultivation stagnated. For hundreds of years, he had always been at the bottom of the competitions among various sects.
In order to preserve Xiaoyao Peak, a mountain gate that has been passed down for thousands of years, they can only give up some other cultivation resources, such as spiritual stone mines! For example, medicinal fields rich in spiritual herbs and medicines! For example, mountains and fields where spiritual creatures grow!
And because the resources allocated are limited, the sect can only recruit about a hundred disciples each year.
Because if there are more, the sect won’t be able to provide for them.
Moreover, even if there are only a hundred or so disciples, they cannot eat spiritual food for every meal, and often have to mix it with worldly food to fill their stomachs.
He is the prince of the Yun Kingdom. He has been living a life of luxury since he was a child and has never lived in such a difficult situation.
Because of his special status, his master and fellow brothers never let him go hungry or deprive him of spiritual food, but he did not have spiritual and meat meals every day.
He still remembered that he was really craving for meat at that time, so he instigated several fellow practitioners to go find the eldest brother, saying that they were hungry from practicing and wanted to eat meat.
That was because the eldest brother's spiritual power exploded, which damaged his foundation, but he still dragged his sick body to someone else's spiritual mountain and secretly hunted two shadow leopards to bring back for them to feast on...
When the eldest senior brother came back, he seemed to be covered in wounds, but he didn't care at all.
He and his fellow brothers were so busy happily snatching the spirit meat of the two shadow leopards that they didn't even leave a mouthful of spirit soup for their eldest brother...
"Snapped!"
Lu Bai suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself!
"I'm really not human!"
"Heh! What are you doing?" Bai Yaoyao, who had scraped the ground clean, was shocked when she saw Lu Bai with tears streaming down his face.
Chen Yingjie was also awakened from his thoughts by him and looked at Lu Bai with a strange expression.
Lu Bai was stared at by the two men like a monkey. He couldn't help blushing. He quickly wiped the tears from his face, lowered his head and whispered, "Nothing... nothing!"
Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao looked at each other without saying much. Bai Yaoyao looked at the time. They had just spent too much time dealing with the giant octopus. It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He hurriedly said to the two of them, "It's getting late! We have to meet up with Jack and the others immediately and rush back to the Crystal Palace!"
Bai Yaoyao held the wooden box and held the two of them tightly, letting them both bathe in the dim light of the wooden box. Then she stepped out of the territory of the giant phantom octopus and into the illusion world filled with phantom octopuses.
The three of them hurried out, each with different thoughts in their minds.
At this time, Chen Yingjie himself did not expect that because of his few unintentional sighs, Lu Bai, who had never worried about food and clothing since childhood and was generous and magnanimous, turned into a person who was ruthless and valued money more than his life...
Even many years later, when the Xiaoyao Sect owned thousands of acres of fertile land and countless sacred mountains and caves, Lu Bai, who had already become an elder of the sect, still remembered the words that Chen Yingjie had whispered at that time.
"There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just because someone is carrying the burden for you! If everyone only thinks about themselves, how can the sect become strong?"
After leaving the Phantom Octopus Illusion, he reunited with Jack, Luna and the others who had been waiting for a long time.
"Brother Yingjie! Wuuwuwu!"
Chen Yingjie's whole body froze. He quickly pushed away Xue Zhirou, who threw herself into his arms and burst into tears as soon as she saw him, and looked at Bai Yaoyao for help.
Why is she here?!
Bai Yaoyao shrugged and turned her head towards the illusion behind her, indicating that she was rescued from it.
After crying for a long time, Xue Zhirou finally stopped crying.
Her eyes were red from crying, and she let go of Chen Yingjie's clothes, "I'm... I'm sorry! Senior Brother Yingjie! I... I really couldn't help it!"
Chen Yingjie was silent for a moment. From his angle, he could clearly see a large patch of red on Xue Zhirou's neck under her cloak, and the collar of her clothes seemed to be torn into pieces.
Although he didn't know what had happened to her, the little girl was crying so heartbrokenly that Chen Yingjie didn't know what to say.
He reached out his hand to pull her cloak tighter to cover the scar on her neck, and whispered, "It's okay. If you feel bad, just cry it out! It will all pass!"
These words made Xue Zhirou, who had just stopped crying, burst into tears again.
Bai Yaoyao secretly cried out in her heart when she saw this scene. If she continued crying, there would be no end. So she quickly interrupted and said, "Well! We still have to go back to the auction! Let's hurry up!"
