Bai Xiaochun squatted a for a short while, when that Spirit Tailed chicken had come closer, he slowly approached the enclosure Just when he was about to take out his bamboo rod, he was suddenly startled and his eyes turned serious

At that moment a low bellow suddenly resounded from behind him Silhouettes appeared one after another, so the surroundings with blinding light

“damned chicken thief! You’ve finally appeared!”

The disciples in charge of rearing the chickens glanced at each other before embarrased expressions adorned some of their faces The disciple who initially questioned Bai Xiaochun also looked a lot less suspicious of him, but still seemed doubtful

When he saw that the suspicions of the other party had not been fully dispelled, Bai Xiaochun coldly hu the disciples a chance to raise another question, he seized the opportunity to speak first His voice was filled with dissatisfaction regarding the disciples’ efforts

“No wonder your Spirit Tailed chickens always gohere but this fence is already broken!” Bai Xiaochun pointed at the fence behind hie on the fence which was hard to notice It had been Bai Xiaochun himself who broke it when he had tussled with a Spirit Tailed chicken during his first theft

“Junior Brother Bai, please do not take our actions to heart We are sincerely grateful for your generous assistance We will definitely repair this fence as soon as possible, and frouard this place more carefully!”

One by one, the other disciples also cupped their hands From the bottom of their hearts, they truly felt that Bai Xiaochun’s kindness was rare and precious, and that he was truly trying his best to assist thehtless behaviour earlier
