Chapter 640 - Torment His Body and Heart (2/2)

Shu Yi did not reply, but the smugness in her eyes deepened, filled with a glint of determination to achieve what she planned on.

On the hill not too far away.

Lonemoon who listened to everything: “…”

Yi Qing who just came over: “…”

Say, were those two invaders really completely unaware of this broadcast-like public mode of their conversation? He could hear it from a few hundred meters away, it was really very noisy!

He turned and glanced at the “jerk” Two-Bucks Zuo who was already in meditation beside the field. This was his first time taking a good look at his face, his appearance was really so-so! Not even as good-looking as Song Ren that unlucky fool! How did he manage to get into such a nasty love affair, even his ascension was ruined. No wonder it was bought with just two bucks?

“Father Niu…” Yi Qing looked inquiringly at Lonemoon, then turned towards Zuo Shuming who was meditating beside the field.

Lonemoon frowned before replying, “Let’s get back! I reckon that invader is about to come over.”

Yi Qing then waved and undid the Soul Gathering Array beside Two-Bucks Zuo, then put away the two plates of pastries that was before Lonemoon.

“Damn it! I brought that here!” What right do you have to put it away, he was intending on snatching it but those two people were already approaching the area.

“Senior Brother He, what is being grown there? Seems like there is the aura of fragrant spirit shrubs too!” Shu Yi suddenly pointed to the side-most spirit field that was blocked off by patches of weed.

“The spirit field there is more remote, with thinner Spirit Qi.” Steward He replied, struck with a sudden thought, he added, “Oh yes, earlier on, I think there was a disciple sent here, calculating the time… it’s about time for him to hand in spirit herbs.”

“Since that’s the case, let’s go over for a look. Who knows, there might be fragrant spirit shrubs that are in even better condition.”

“Sure!” Something flashed across Steward He’s eyes as he nodded. “We can also look for that disciple and collect the spirit herbs he has to hand in.” He answered in all seriousness yet deep down, he was thinking, how could that land be able to sprout any spirit herbs.

Back then when the higher-ups sent this disciple to his piece of land, he’d already understood that this disciple had offended someone up there. He just needed to wait till the harvest of this quarter, when he could not hand in any spirit herbs, he’d then be able to kick him out of the sect. Such incidents do happen in the outer sect, everyone already had a tacit understanding. Right now, it happened that Shu Yi, an inner sect disciple was present and she was the daughter of a Nascent Soul Elder, who knows, she might bring the news back to the inner sect and he might get something good out of it.

As he thought, he walked faster and faster, rounding pass the patches of tall weeds, heading towards the piece of land all the way at the side. Shu Yi’s eyes dimmed and immediately followed.

That piece of land was right at the edge of the mountain, as there weren’t enough Spirit Qi, the surrounding land were all barren, filled with patches of weeds as tall as humans that blocked the sight, the situation of that land was completely hidden from view.

Two people, each with their own load on their mind, went on along a small path, Shu Yi glanced at the surrounding weeds, her thoughts growing firmer deep down. Hence she feigned ignorance and asked, “Senior Brother He, this place looks like it’s been unattended to for a long time, why would a disciple be sent here to farm? Can spirit herbs be grown?”

“You must be joking Junior Sister. This is a spirit field, as long as one puts his heart and soul into it, he can naturally grow spirit herbs.” Steward He replied and finally rounded pass the weeds.

“But this piece of land has rarely any Spirit Qi, how is possible that he would have any spirit herbs to hand in, is this making things difficult for him.” She was setting up the base so that she could speak for him later, but realized that the person in front had suddenly stopped walking, frozen in the same spot. “Senior Brother He? Senior Brother He!”
