Shen Ying did not reply. But the more Lonemoon spoke, the more he blurted out. “I’ve been in Blackheaven Sect for over three hundred years and I’ve treated that place as home, thinking that cultivators are different from mortals. Perhaps the sect’s rules were right. As a sect, everyone needs to be in the same boat and move together. But I never imagined that once the Xuan Yuan Family arrived, they wouldn’t even put up a fight and immediately wave the white flag. So much for a sect’s principles. It was such an eye-opening experience.”

“What immortal sect cultivators. At the end of the day they are just some selfish, normal human beings.” He sighed, as if letting go of something, then turned to look at the person beside him and said with a smile, “Shen Ying, thanks a lot! Since you’re so loyal, from now on you’re my sister!”

“Uh…” Shen Ying quivered, subconsciously stepping away. Actually, I want to be your daughter. “Father Niu, can I discuss something with you?”

“What is it? Feel free to say it!” He slapped his chest.

“Can you not smile at me all of a sudden? I’ll think that… you want to give me money.”

“… Get lost.” Who wants to give you money? Can you just forget about the Father Niu incident? “Are you really that broke? Forget it. Since you’ve helped me before, the next time when you’re in need of spirit stones, feel free to come and find your brother. I’ll take care of you.” In any case, he was a Soul Formation Supremacy. He was not lacking in spirit stones.

“Thank you, Father Niu!” Shen Ying was delighted. “But, can I ask… what exactly did I do to help you?”

“Stop acting.” He tapped her on the shoulders. “I know you’re a loyal one. Didn’t you leave Blackheaven Sect on your own accord because you were afraid that staying there would make things difficult for me?”

“Nope. I purely wanted to switch places to eat.”

“If you keep acting then it won’t seem real anymore.” Lonemoon gave her a ‘stop kidding’ look. “How can you be sick of the food so soon given your foodie character? I heard that the ingredients from the Outer Affairs Hall were very abundant.”

Yi Qing suddenly interrupted, “Master actually meant that the Outer Affairs Hall had informed us that the new batch of disciples have all achieved grain liberation, so there were no more ingredients to be collected anymore.” Master cannot be left in hunger.

What?

“…” Took an arrow to the knee 1 .

A while later…

“Then… then what’s up with those people?” He pointed at the five people on the ground who were in coma. “You obviously had the ability to defeat those people from the Xuan Yuan Family, yet you didn’t directly do so in the Blackheaven Sect. Wasn’t it to give me face and also because you were afraid of hurting those lower level disciples?”

“No!” Shen Ying shook her head.

“How is it not so?”

“Uh… there were too many people. Fighting would have been very troublesome and time consuming.”

“Huh?” What did she mean?

“Moreover, it was almost noon at that time.” Missing lunch would have been such a pity. “So it was all because…”

“Stop it, don’t talk!” Lonemoon covered her mouth, his glass heart shattered into pieces. Can’t a man dream?

“Master, where are we going to go now?” Seeing that the both of them were almost finished with the food, Yi Qing put out the fire and habitually packed up the picnic.

Shen Ying faltered for a moment before turning to look at a certain someone’s begrudging face.

“Why are you looking at me?” Lonemoon glared at her. His anger had not simmered down yet. “Whose fault is this! I also don’t have a place to go now. You guys can go wherever you like. I don’t care.”

Shen Ying pondered for a bit, then she swept aside the stiff bodies of the five people on the ground, squinted her eyes and stood up to stretch.

“Since we have nothing to do after eating, how about… let’s find someone to settle a score?”

“…”

“…”
