Vicious cannon fodder is prohibited for beauties to play

Chapter 436: All Things Are Straw Dogs (18)

Lin Feng has a very high status and influence in this group of people.

After all, most of these people are his fellow disciples, and as the eldest brother of this generation in Yunlu Mountain, he has always been remarkable in both his cultivation strength and his interpersonal relationships, so he is very convincing.

Now that he has come to his senses, everyone seems to have found their backbone in an instant.

After seeking his advice, they also believed that they were currently in a relatively safe environment, and they were no longer so anxious and no longer in a hurry to run away.

Naturally, they were no longer as hostile towards Si Cen as they were at the beginning.

Because some of these people were injured or their spiritual energy was exhausted, they sought Lin Feng's advice and decided to rest in this cave for a while.

Of course, this is not just what they say.

At Lin Feng's suggestion, they made a request to Si Cen, the owner of the cave.

Si Cen didn't seem to care whether these people stayed or left, and even offered to provide them with food and water as long as they paid a certain amount of compensation.

After the monks reach the stage of building their foundation, they will be greatly different from ordinary people.

For example, after establishing the foundation, monks can practice fasting and use cultivation instead of sleeping.

Of course, there are some ruthless people who have very low material desires and think that eating and sleeping interfere with their cultivation, so they completely abandon food and sleep, and replace both with fasting pills and cultivation.

But there are very few such ruthless people.

Even cultivators mostly still follow the habits of their human predecessors before they established their foundation, whether it is three meals a day or daily routine.

Although each of these people has fasting pills in their Qiankun bag, they naturally still want to eat.

Si Cen has spiritual rice and vegetables that he grows and harvests himself, and he usually cooks for himself. Today, a bunch of fat sheep rarely appear. Si Cen considers that he will definitely leave the secret realm and return to the outside world, so naturally he has to earn some spiritual stones.

He sold it at a high price, several times higher than the market price.

But many disciples from big sects are not short of spirit stones. Although they may secretly criticize Si Cen for being evil-hearted, they will not say anything on the surface and will obediently pay the spirit stones.

Whether to buy food or not is one thing, but it seems that this mysterious young man in the secret realm is a bit of a money-grubber. Now that they are all in his territory, they might as well consider it as paying spirit stones to buy safety.

Bai Xiaoxiao looks a little spoiled and willful, but she is actually quite reliable.

Not only did he show his loyalty when they were fighting the giant python, but he also risked his life to protect Lin Feng many times when they were swimming to escape.

This changed her fellow disciples' impression of her, and they were willing to accept her arrangements and commands, and they all became busy in the cave.

Some of them went to prepare ingredients and cook, some, after seeking Si Cen's consent, arranged a place for these people to rest in the area designated by Si Cen, and some took the time to meditate and recover.

She watched over Lin Feng for a while, and after making sure that he was fine, she stood up and joined the cooking team, saying that she wanted to make something for the eldest brother herself.

Everyone in the cave was in order.

In the end, there were only three idlers.

Si Cen, who was watching with interest; Jiang Huaizhen, who seemed to be vaguely excluded and isolated and was unusually quiet and silent; and Lin Feng, who seemed to be recovering with his eyes closed.

Although Si Cen looked at Lin Feng, he always inexplicably thought of the young monk who had only met him once and caused him to drift to this secret realm, and he would even occasionally think of He Xue's human form. He inexplicably always had a sense of closeness that he wanted to get closer to.

But this inexplicable feeling made Si Cen wary and repulsive.

So he didn't even consider talking to Lin Feng.

On the contrary, it was another "old friend". Because of his innocent appearance, Si Cen did not feel much wary when getting along with him.

Si Cen came to Jiang Huaizhen, who was squatting by the water and pulling weeds out of boredom, and nudged him with his toes, "Why don't you go over and join your friends?"

Jiang Huaizhen didn't seem to expect Si Cen to take the initiative to talk to him. For a moment, his expression was surprised and confused.

However, as a person who dared to run away from home as a minor and travel around the world, and finally dared to go deep into the "tiger's den" alone to cause trouble, he must be naturally courageous.

He even always had a sense of déjà vu towards Si Cen.

Compared to those disciples of Yunlu Mountain who were completely wary of Si Cen, he was not too alert.

Jiang Huaizhen simply sat on the ground, pulled out a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, then patted the place beside him.

Si Cen didn't say anything and sat down naturally.

"You look like a smart person. I don't believe you haven't realized that these people look down on me. There's no need for me to always try to please them." Jiang Huaizhen said in a nonchalant tone.

What surprised Si Cen was that when he first met Jiang Huaizhen ten years ago, this young man was unruly, confident and arrogant.

From his words and actions, as well as his later interactions with his sister and fellow disciples who came to rescue him, it can be seen that this is a person with a good family background, who has been raised with much attention and love since childhood.

With his background and upbringing, it's normal for him to be so confident and outspoken.

Therefore, Si Cen felt that his current behavior was abnormal.

Of course, a lot can happen in ten years.

"Why do they exclude you?"

Jiang Huaizhen was choked by Si Cen's question. He almost thought that Si Cen was playing tricks on him. However, Si Cen's next sentence almost made his gloomy and cold heart fly away.

"Is it because they find that they cannot compare with you in every aspect and they are jealous of you?"

This sentence is really not Yin and Yang. Jiang Huaizhen heard that he took it for granted and saw the seriousness in his expression, which means that he really thinks so.

Jiang Huaizhen was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at the face beside him, which was so exquisite and beautiful that he would always lose his concentration and instinctively dare not look directly at it.

He murmured, "Do you really think so? I am better than them in every way. Am I the kind that would make people jealous?"

Si Cen gave him a strange look, "You have a good physique, right? You're not too old, and you're already in the late stage of foundation building, and you'll soon be able to achieve golden elixir, right? Among your group of people, except for your eldest senior brother who has reached the great perfection of golden elixir and is only one step away from achieving Nascent Soul, you're the one with the highest realm. The others are much older than you, but their cultivation is not as good as yours. Not to mention your looks, except for your eldest senior brother, among the men you're the best looking. As for your background...what you wear and what you use is not better than theirs?

So, isn’t it obvious?”

Jiang Huaizhen: ...

Even though I was praised, but...why do I still feel like I was stepped on?

In another position, "Lin Feng" seemed to be oblivious to what was happening around him, concentrating on healing his wounds: ^^

The little guy who was covered in thorns and looked ferocious as if he was ready to pounce on anyone and bite them to death at any time, turned out to have such an interesting and cute personality when he grew up.

"Thank you?" Jiang Huaizhen was speechless for a while. He always felt that Si Cen was praising (Senior Brother) and stepping on (him), but he had no evidence. Finally, his heart, which had been half-raised, fell down again, and he couldn't help feeling a little sarcastic.

Si Cen said seriously, "You're welcome. Of course, if you really want to be polite, you can convert it into spirit stones. I don't mind."

Jiang Huaizhen: …………
