Chapter 638 - Wasteland (2/2)
Lonemoon frowned. There was no good explanation he could offer. He couldn’t possibly say that the invader had his eye on Zuo Shuming, could he? Lonemoon sighed and said, “Forget it! Let’s not bother about who it is! All you have to do now is train hard. Once you have capabilities, you will not be pushed around like this anymore. Even if you go after them now, you probably would not be able to achieve anything.”
Zuo Shuming clenched his fists by his side. A pained expression flashed across his face. He remained silent for a couple of seconds before he said, “I still want to go. I know I haven’t done anything wrong. Since I joined Gui Yi Sect, I know that it is my duty to plant spirit herbs and do my part for the advancement of the other disciples’ cultivations.I have no complaints about that. But these seeds…” His voice trailed off mid-sentence. “I don’t know why the other party is doing this. But planting spirit herbs has to do with my relationship with the sect. I have to clarify things.” His eyes brightened with determination. Lonemoon could clearly see the innocence and grit that this man had – he would not be satisfied unless he failed himself.
Lonemoon had nothing more to say. He pondered for a moment, then stepped aside. You can go if you want to. You’ll find out soon that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained.
“Brother Lonemoon, don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.” With that, Zuo Shuming turned and angrily chased after the disciple that had disappeared not long ago.
Lonemoon sighed. Indeed, he was a young man. Lonemoon looked down at the bag of seeds and handed it over to Chef, who was beside him. “Get cracking!”
“Me?” Chef paused, stunned. He looked at the bag of seeds in his hands. I only know how to cook!
“If not you, then am I supposed to do it myself?” Lonemoon glared at him. “What do you think I called you over here?” All you know how to do is waste money – what’s wrong with me asking you to do a little work?
“I’ve never planted spirit herbs,” Chef said as his gaze shifted between Lonemoon and the bag of seeds in his hands. Didn’t they always leave these things to Radish in the past? “Why not… I call Radish over?”
“Call Radish?!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. Radish – that crazy monster who was obsessed with producing flowers. If he called it over here, it would give the two of them away. “Just remove the weeds and scatter the seeds.”
“…” You call that planting spirit herbs?
Chef looked suspiciously at the seeds in his hands once again. For the sake of his allowance, he knew better than to argue with Lonemoon. He had no choice but to take a handful of seeds and walk to the area where the grass was growing taller than man.
He pondered for a moment. Then, he released a burst of sword Qi that cut all the weeds off at once. Suddenly, there were no more weeds left in the soil – they were all piled up on the ground. Even the soil was turned out from the impact. In a blink of an eye, the spirit field was cleared of weeds and the soil was prepared to receive the seeds.
Yi Qing scattered the seeds around. He did not bother too much about spacing them out. Instead, he turned the bag over and shook it twice. Then, he walked back over to Lonemoon. “I’m done!” It took a total of two minutes.
“Mm.” Lonemoon didn’t look too bothered about the way Yi Qing planted the seeds either.
“Can they… grow like this?” Chef could not help but ask.
“Nonsense!” Lonemoon turned to glare at him. Then, he looked purposefully at the sky. “You grew them – how dare they not grow?”
“…”
