I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 109 - 93: A Band of Thieves (Part 2)
Zu Kuan’s expression softened slightly, "I haven’t forgotten, the old man appreciates your kindness, but what does this have to do with why you asked us to come over today?"
The crowd nodded, and a calculating gleam flashed in Xiao Ankuo’s eyes.
"It is naturally relevant. This Junior Sister Jiang relies on her status as an Inner Sect Disciple and looks down on us. She’s young, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to fuss with her. Today, I wanted to gather everyone to talk to her properly."
"We all scratch a living from the earth, today I help you, tomorrow you help me; we should be like family, and family shouldn’t stand on ceremony. If there’s something good, of course, it should be shared with each other. Elder Zu, fellow brothers and sisters, don’t you agree with this principle?"
The crowd understood, their eyes gleaming as they glanced at the Spiritual Farming Puppets in the Spiritual Field, nodding busily.
After all, this matter had Xiao Ankuo spearheading it. If there were any issues, it would be his fault for misleading everyone.
Zu Kuan stroked his beard and smiled, "That’s correct, we Spiritual Cultivation Masters are like family and should unite as one. Let’s go see this Jiang Yuebai."
＊
Jiang Yuebai descended from the Rice Flower Courtyard at the mountainside, the thick fog behind her closing in on its own, concealing the entire courtyard and the terraces, making them impossible to spy on.
Guo Zhen came up to her, just about to ask Jiang Yuebai why she had opened Huaxi Valley today, attracting covetous eyes, when he saw Xiao Ankuo gathering a group of people approaching.
Leading them were all Spiritual Cultivation Masters from various valleys, followed by dozens of Spiritual Cultivators who were there to watch the excitement. Shi Xiaowu and Qii Yue tried to stop them at the front but were pushed aside by Xiao Ankuo.
"Junior Sister Jiang," Xiao Ankuo walked up, "Since becoming a Spiritual Cultivation Master, Junior Sister Jiang has not visited the senior Spiritual Cultivation Masters. Today I specifically brought them to visit you, out of respect for your status as an Inner Sect Disciple."
Guo Zhen clenched his fists, fully aware that Xiao Ankuo intended to force Jiang Yuebai into opposition against all the Spiritual Cultivation Masters. At this point, the older Spiritual Cultivation Masters did not look pleased.
In response, Jiang Yuebai’s expression remained calm, "I’ve greeted you, if there’s nothing else, you may leave."
"You!" Xiao Ankuo flared up, but quickly suppressed it, smiling, "Alright, Junior Sister Jiang is an Inner Sect Disciple and naturally holds a status above us. We’ve come today because there’s something we can’t quite understand."
Jiang Yuebai crossed her arms, standing on a slope at a height, so she didn’t have to look up at them.
Xiao Ankuo continued, "What we don’t understand is, Junior Sister Jiang, you are extraordinarily talented. Since you have already become an Inner Sect Disciple, why do you still compete with us, who are impoverished and live hand to mouth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd nodded, feeling there was much sense in his words.
Inner Sect Disciples had always held themselves in high esteem and disdained farming. They hadn’t found this unusual before, but now that Jiang Yuebai, an Inner Sect Disciple, came out to farm, it made them feel it was unfair.
With her strong abilities, she naturally grows more Spiritual Vegetables and Spiritual Grain, leading the sect to receive more from her than from others, and her vast output would lower prices, harming everyone.
"The sect also doesn’t control this. We are already leading hard lives, and now the Inner Sect Disciples come to compete for resources."
"I didn’t realize it before, but now it seems to be the truth."
Guo Zhen was anxious on the side, and Shi Xiaowu and Qii Yue arrived beside him, anxiously watching Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai remained unmoved, continuing to look at Xiao Ankuo with a faint smile.
Seeing this, Xiao Ankuo felt unsure, but having come this far, he could only continue.
"Junior Sister Jiang, don’t blame me. I’m someone who speaks my mind without malice, just wanted to say that Junior Sister truly lives up to the name of an Inner Sect Disciple, with ingenious thoughts, casually designing these Planting Puppets, which truly commands Xiao’s admiration."
"Of course, you really think my Senior Sister Jiang is the same as a fool like you?"
"Xiaowu, shut up!"
Shi Xiaowu could not help but shout, Guo Zhen scolded with a stern expression, and Qii Yue pulled his sleeve, frowning and shaking her head at him.
Xiao Ankuo was clearly setting a trap in his words, but Shi Xiaowu, being naive, did not catch it.
Jiang Yuebai chuckled softly, "Anything else you want to say? Go on."
Xiao Ankuo turned back to glance at Zu Kuan and the other Spiritual Cultivation Masters, "What I meant to say is, in farming, Jiang, you might just be playing around, even if you mess it up, you’ll still be an Inner Sect Disciple. But farming is our lifeline."
Xiao Ankuo leaned a bit closer, "Within our Heavenly Interence Sect, Spiritual Cultivation Masters have always helped each other throughout history. With your capabilities, casually creating these Spiritual Farming Puppets, we are deeply impressed and grateful for your enriching all of our sect’s Spiritual Cultivators."
"Why don’t you share the method of creating these Spiritual Farming Puppets with everyone? Everyone will remember your kindness, and when Huaxi Valley has matters, everyone will come to help, whether in manpower or effort. Who dares not listen, I, Xiao, will be the first to disapprove. Am I right?"
