Su Xiaolu’s stern tone stunned Chen Lian. She had forgotten the words she had prepared.
Su Xiaolu’s words suffocated her. She was clearly not like that. She was just… used to using such weak tricks.
In the past, her method had always worked and she had repeatedly obtained many benefits from it.
However, this move always did not work in front of Teacher Su. She even suffered setbacks time and time again. If these words spread, it would be very disadvantageous to her. She would carry the words ‘coward’ and ‘hiding’.
Tears welled up in Chen Lian’s eyes. She shook her head. “Teacher Su, I’m not. I just…” She was too afraid to say the words before Su Xiaolu interrupted her.
“Alright, since you’re not, stand up properly. Everyone is ready. Let’s set off. I’ll explain the situation to you on the way. Let’s go.”
Su Xiaolu interrupted Chen Lian’s sobbing explanation. With that, she turned around and led the way.
She had the Space and the meson space that Zhou Zhi had given her, so she only brought a sword with her.
Jiang Wanlin, Wang Mingyue, and the others all carried a small bag and a sword.
They followed Su Xiaolu down the mountain. Wang Mingyue and Jiang Wanlin stood side by side. Wang Mingyue happily talked to Jiang Wanlin about many interesting things.
Mu Feng and Chen Lian walked last. Chen Lian’s eyes were still red.
Mu Feng was in a bad mood. He felt very restrained and suffocated.
Chen Lian sniffed and whispered timidly, “Brother Mu Feng, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for implicating you and making Teacher Su hate you. I’m worried that Teacher Su will… I-I really hope I’m thinking too much.”
Mu Feng frowned. Chen Lian had hit the nail on the head.
“Brother Mu Feng, if, if Teacher Su doesn’t like you because of this, what will you do? You’ve worked so hard.”
Chen Lian’s eyes were burning with worry.
Mu Feng’s eyes darkened. “If she’s that kind of Teacher, she’s not worthy of being my Master. Lian’er, don’t think too much.” “Brother Mu Feng is right. I’m relieved.”
Chen Lian patted her chest and looked relieved.
Mu Feng looked at her cute appearance and smiled. Chen Lian was a good girl. She just needed protection too much.
Thinking of Su Xiaolu, Mu Feng still felt that she was too cold and heartless. She was not the Master he wanted, but there was no better choice at the moment.
He would think about it later, when he had more opportunities in the future.
“Lian’er, I’ll have to trouble you this time.”
Mu Feng looked at Chen Lian with a gentle expression. He was determined to get this mission done.
Chen Lian smiled shyly and nodded seriously. “Brother Mu Feng, don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you.”
If Mu Feng benefited, it was equivalent to her benefiting. Of course, she would do her best to help Mu Feng.
They fell behind and whispered to each other. Su Xiaolu, Fang Lan, Wang Mingyue, Jiang Wanlin, and the others in front of them suddenly used Qinggong to fly away.
Mu Feng still didn’t know the situation. Chen Lian didn’t know Qinggong at all. They could only run in a sorry state to keep up.
After flying for a while, Jiang Wanlin and the others benefited greatly. After landing, Su Xiaolu smiled and asked them, “How is it? Didn’t we get twice the result with half the effort?”
They all nodded.
Mu Feng frowned and couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher Su, why are you using Qinggong?”
Chen Lian’s body was average. After running for a while, she was still panting from exhaustion.
Su Xiaolu looked at Mu Feng and did not answer. Instead, she asked, “Were you distracted? I just shared an experience with you guys to experiment. Why didn’t you listen carefully?”
Mu Feng was speechless. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be able to hear what Su Xiaolu said if he was a few steps away from her. However, when he spoke to Chen Lian, the two of them were deliberately a few steps behind. He did not expect to miss the teaching.
Faced with Su Xiaolu’s strict question, Mu Feng quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. “I know my mistake. I was too excited last night and didn’t sleep well.”
Su Xiaolu nodded lightly.
She took out five cloth bags from the Space and distributed them to them. She said, “This time, we’re going to the Yanyu Lake outside the capital. It’s a famous lotus lake. Everyone has four hours. Whoever picks the most lotus seeds will win. In the past, Yanyu Lake was a holy land for countless students to play to their hearts’ content. The lotus seeds are fragrant, and the lotus flowers bloom with an incomparable scenery. It’s extremely good for poetry and painting.”
“However, in the early summer of this year, after an outsider’s daughter committed suicide here, strange figures were often seen in Yanyu Lake and there were rumors of ghosts. Therefore, no one picked the lotus seeds this year, and no one appreciated the scenery. You can take a small boat to pick them at midnight. I’ll wait for you on the shore.”
After Su Xiaolu finished speaking, she looked at them quietly.
After a while, Wang Mingyue raised her hand and asked, “Teacher Su, is it possible that we might encounter a ghost when we go to pick lotus seeds tonight?”
They had never had the chance to see ghosts and demons in the past.
But now, sometimes, an obsession that did not dissipate would turn into terrifying things like resentful ghosts. Dharma spells to exorcize ghosts and sutras to expiate souls were all common things now.
Some people had seen many of these things, but most ordinary people rarely saw them.
None of them had ever seen anything strange like this.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Generally speaking, a person’s resentment will turn into ghosts because they have something to hold on to. Perhaps when you pick the lotus seeds, you can find the item that the minister’s daughter, the ghost, is holding on to.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and distributed the Ghost Expelling Rune that Little Niu had given her to the five of them.
Wang Mingyue and the others had lingering fears. This was their first time experiencing it. They were afraid, but they didn’t want to back down.
Su Xiaolu walked in front.
Wang Mingyue had already begun to discuss with Jiang Wanlin. She said, “Junior Sister, when we go out later, let’s tie ropes around our bodies. I heard that some drowned people will find substitutes. They will overturn the ship and get someone to drown in the water. Let’s tie each other with ropes so that we can take care of each other.”
Jiang Wanlin nodded. “Alright, let’s do that.”
Mu Feng pondered for a moment and said, “Wanwan, I think we should put aside our grudges. Let’s work together and rely on our own abilities to get as manv lotus seeds as we can. Let’s tie each other un so that we can take care of each other. I believe Teacher Su doesn’t want to see us having internal strife either.”
With resentful ghosts and harvesting lotus seeds at midnight, the difficulty increased several times. It was best for everyone to gather together.
“Mu Feng is right. We can take care of each other if we gather together. The accumulation of runes is better than spreading them out. As for how many lotus seeds we can each take, it will depend on our own abilities.”
Fang Lan agreed with this. Although he didn’t like Mu Feng either, Mu Feng was right about this. It would be safer to gather.
Mu Feng and Chen Lian were only two people, but there were three of them.
In the end, Mu Feng would definitely not win..
