Yi Qing nodded, as he walked forward rapidly.
Before the two came near, a small body suddenly flew out from the crowd, and dropped in front of the two with a bang.
Lou Tao was stunned, and his eyes widened instantly. “Young Junior Brother!” They apparently knew each other. He hurried to help the boy up.
“It’s young Uncle-Master Lou Tao!” Somebody cried, and the crowd started rushing towards them.
Lou Tao held the person who had already fainted, and his fat face swelled even more with anger. “Who was it who hurt young Junior Brother?”
“It was me!” Before the crowd could answer, a male voice sounded from the other side, and the crowd made way for a thin child dressed in green, who walked over with his eyes full of disdain. He snorted and said, “Because he had his nose in the air!”
“Who are you?” Lou Tao’s little fat face squeezed.
“I am…”
Before the person answered, Yi Qing burst out, “Dog!”
He was actually that same parentless child back in the small village.
Only now did the youth in green see Yi Qing at the side. “Wild kid, you are actually still alive!” The child was shocked, and as if remembering something, he glanced at Lou Tao beside him, his eyes full of disdain. “I didn’t imagine that you actually joined Honesty Sect, and… I’m called Jing Qi, and I’m a disciple of Green Robes Sect. You had better remember that.”
“Oh,” Yi Qing looked like he didn’t care about it at all, as he added, “I’m called Yi Qing!”
Some anger somehow appeared on Jing Qi’s expression.
Lou Tao fed the disciple in his arms an elixir, before he stared up at Jing QI and said, “Why did you hurt my younger Junior Brother?”
“He stopped us from entering Disciples’ Hall first,” Jing Qi said angrily, “His abilities were inferior, and we can’t be blamed for that!”
“Nonsense!” Once he finished, another disciple at the side argued, “Apparently Senior Brother only stopped you here because your people had stole spirit herbs of our sect. You thieves!”
“Who stole your spirit herbs? Do not make slanderous charges!” Jing Qi said angrily.
“And you say you didn’t,” That disciple pointed to a little girl behind him, “those that she wears on her head are ours!”
Everyone turned to look at the little girl behind Jing Qi, and she was indeed wearing a garland on her head, and its colorful flowers had faint Spirit Qi on it.
“Those are the spirit herbs that sect master told us to plant, and young Senior Brother had led us to take care of them for more than a month. But once they came, they plucked all of them!”
Once this was said, everyone turned to look at that little girl. Everyone was of a young age, and anger came faster and directly. Even among the disciples of Green Robes Sect, many wore a darkened expression.
The girl was so scared that she stepped back and hid behind Jing Qi. Her eyes reddened immediately, as she grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said with an anxious, crying voice, “I… I didn’t know. I only thought those flowers looked nice, Big Brother Jing Qi..”
Jing Qi immediately changed into a distressed expression. While he was a kid himself, he actually turned to hug the little girl who was even taller than him in his arms and started to comfort her. The scene looked indeed queer. “Little Junior Sister, don’t cry, I will be hurt!” With that said, he turned and stared at the other children, “Isn’t it just some worthless grass? And you actually bully people like this for its sake!”
After understanding the whole matter, Lou Tao was very angry: they stole the spirit herbs first, and then injured people, and they could actually speak as if they were on the right side. “Stealing spirit herbs of a sect is a serious offense. Since she stole it, she should be punished.”
