Although it was the dwelling place of the menial disciples, the environment was still acceptable, and they only needed to stay for three days, so it wasn’t a big problem.
Glancing around, he didn’t see Yu Sanbian and Qin Lan among the crowd. It seemed those with connections could find advantages everywhere.
It was just a pity that Yu Sanbian hadn’t arranged a better place for them; he certainly hadn’t been so lenient when it came to drawing lots.
“Brother Ruthless, you are truly nobler than the heavens. These days, it’s rare to find cultivators who treat people with such sincerity!”
“Yes, in the future, I am willing to serve you, front and back, at your beck and call!”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. Being able to enter the Holy Demon Sect this time was all thanks to Brother Ruthless’s support. If there’s any place where you need us, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!”
“The great favor from Boss Ye, we’ll never forget for as long as we live!”
At the top of a hill, more than two hundred cultivators all knelt on one knee, roaring in unison.
Their voices surged one wave after another, startling the nearby menial disciples into utter silence, locking themselves indoors. Even the few who had been prepared to find fault with the newcomers and show them who’s boss were now swallowing hard, involuntarily quieting down.
Where did all these cultivators come from? Could it be that an entire organization had come over?
Watching these cultivators who looked like they were about to claim the hill as their own, the menial workers wanted to cry but had no tears. What had they done to deserve this? With such a calamity arriving, would there still be any good days ahead for them?
“Woof, and don’t forget Lord Ergouzi!”
Ergouzi was extremely dissatisfied. How could these people only revere Li Xiaobai?
“Cackle, and Lord Ji Wuqing too!”
Ji Wuqing also spoke up, as it wouldn’t miss out on such a large fan meet-up.
“Right, right, right, we will also follow Lord Ergouzi and Lord Ji!”
“Lord Ergouzi is mighty and extraordinary, the day when you become a god is certainly foreseeable!”
“Lord Ji Wuqing is so imposing, we can’t even catch up to you!”
The cultivators quickly changed their tune, very tactfully starting to butter up Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing.
These two were the favored ones by Brother Ruthless’s side, and they mustn’t be neglected. They had to flatter them well as this chicken and dog might also be powerful beings.
“Good lads, Lord Ergouzi will lead you to choose your rooms. Let’s go!”
Ergouzi’s vanity was greatly satisfied, and it stood upright, crossing its paws behind its back, giving the dumbstruck guide disciple a cold glance.
This disciple was responsible for arranging housing for everyone. Normally, people would try to please him first, offering some benefits so they could live more peacefully later on.
But unexpectedly, before he could even assert his authority, people were already pledging their loyalty, showing undying commitment, almost to the point of swearing brotherhood under such momentum, forcing him to swallow back the words he was about to say.
“Fellow Daoists, my name is Yuan Fang. I am in charge of managing the menial disciples’ housing arrangements. Please follow me for your accommodations!” Yuan Fang forced a smile and gestured for them to follow.
The group followed and arrived in front of a row of cottages. The houses were quite spacious and not bad at all; even for menial disciples in a prestigious sect, the living conditions were better than ordinary folks outside the sect.
The rest of the residences at the moment were all tightly closed. Occasionally, some menial disciples upon seeing Li Xiaobai and the others would immediately return inside and shut their doors and windows tight.
Li Xiaobai was somewhat baffled, wondering why it seemed like people were afraid of them when they had come to someone else’s domain.
“Alright, you all can go pick your rooms, two people to a room. From now on, we are all from the same sect, so let’s get to know each other better,” Li Xiaobai said.
“Yes, we are brothers through adversity, and we should definitely get to know each other better!”
“Whoever dares to touch my brother, I will kill them!”
The cultivators were fervently impassioned. Along the journey, they had deeply experienced the feeling of sharing weal and woe.
Brother Ruthless’s strength made them feel the warmth of home.
“Uh… it’s good that you all get along…”
Li Xiaobai was speechless. These cultivators were a bit too enthusiastic, and he didn’t know how to respond, so he turned and entered an empty house on the edge.
The interior of the house was simple, with two beds to the left and right, cabinets and stools at the head of the beds, and a long table in the middle. It looked clean and tidy.
There wasn’t much inside, but for cultivators, a bed was really all that was needed. Apart from cultivating, they didn’t do much else on normal days.
“Woof, this bed, Lord Ergouzi has claimed it!”
Ergouzi lunged towards one of the beds.
“Then this sovereign will take this bed.”
Ji Wuqing walked with pride to the other bed, but unfortunately, his short little legs were too short to climb up.
Li Xiaobai pushed him aside and got into the bed to rest on his own.
The couch was quite comfortable.
“Cackle, lad, this sovereign had reserved this couch, don’t provoke me!” Ji Wuqing was very angry, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t climb on it.
“You’re just a little country chicken, what do you need a bed for? Just lie on the ground.” said Li Xiaobai indifferently.
“Cackle, this sovereign is a Pudong Rooster, carrying the Undying Phoenix Bloodline. It’s not impossible for me to become an immortal creature with just a thought. Even though you brought this sovereign out, you’d best treat me with some courtesy!”
Ji Wuqing tidied up his feathers, speaking in an unhappy tone.
“With those short legs of yours, when you can jump up here, the bed is yours.”
Li Xiaobai yawned.
Just as Ji Wuqing was about to say something else, there came a knocking, dong dong dong, and the voice of Yuan Fang from outside.
“Brother Ye, are you satisfied with this house?”
“Satisfied. Do you need something, Brother Yuan?” Li Xiaobai rolled off the bed and opened the door to ask.
“You flatter me too much, Brother Ye, just call me Xiao Yuan, heh heh.”
Yuan Fang’s posture was very humble, not daring to make a move after witnessing the earlier scene.
The aura of these people was definitely that of jianghu characters, surely the kind who ruled their own territory. It’s said that with such people, if you hit one, the rest will swarm out to fight you to the death.
“Then I’ll call you Brother Yuan. Is there something important you needed?”
“Heh heh, it’s actually not any serious matter. I just wanted to ask if Brother Ye needs anything else, so I can go and get it for you.”
“No need to trouble yourself, we’re just here for a short stay and will leave in a few days.” Li Xiaobai waved his hand.
Yuan Fang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, for if they stayed for good, the local snakes here would have to change their boss.
“Brother Yuan, does the Holy Demon Sect have a place for buying and selling?”
Li Xiaobai asked. He needed to sell off that pile of loot in the Space Ring as soon as possible.
“Yes, there’s a trading post set up at the foot of the mountain. All cultivators can set up a stall there by paying a fee of two Lower Grade Spirit Stones. High-ranking brothers and sisters frequently appear there, and if you have enough Spirit Stones, you can find quite a few good items,” said Yuan Fang.
“Thank you Brother Yuan. You have taken some trouble for this. Here’s a little something for your efforts, please accept it.”
Li Xiaobai casually took out a Lower Grade Spirit Sword and handed it to Yuan Fang; it was one of the spiritual artifacts from the Blade Array.
“This… this is too precious!”
“Thank you, Brother Ye!”
