Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 720 - 259: Walk Others’ Paths and Leave Them Nowhere to Go! (Requesting Subscription from Big Brothers and Sisters)
The young man was immediately taken away, and this time the cost of his injury would probably teach him a lesson. But it's a good thing, spending money to avoid disaster is always better than facing real danger in the future and regretting it too late.
Yuchi looked at the last piece of beef on the plate; he wasn't in a hurry to eat it. The taste didn't matter; what mattered was the expression when eating. His expression had to be just right, the aura had to be right, and when drinking tea, he blew the foam before taking a sip, then frowned and shook his head. This demeanor couldn't be lost, after all, he was still a down-on-his-luck young lad.
At this moment, the girl finally stood there "forlornly," looking utterly innocent, as if the whole world had abandoned her. She rubbed her red eyes, and tears streamed down as she started a heartfelt monologue:
"What should I do now? I just wanted to join the Yatian Sect, so I could have money to cure my parents' illnesses. But now my ten taels of silver are lost, and I have no way to recover them. What should I do, what should I do! Ah, I'm really a useless person, a complete failure!"
"How can I face my parents? I don't know what to do. Can someone help me? I feel so miserable, my heart so empty and lonely!"
"Boo-hoo-hoo!"
The girl's words were exaggerated. Would a normal person voice their innermost thoughts in front of everyone? Of course not. If spoken out loud, could it still be called innermost thoughts?
In Yuchi's ears, this drama was clearly only halfway through. The young man over there had already gotten the gold and silver, just took a punch, which likely wasn't very hard, pretending to faint. It's probable that injuries would immediately follow. And the girl hadn't yet achieved her desired outcome. Seeing her demeanor, she was looking for a scapegoat.
"Am I a scapegoat?" Yuchi looked at the beef. "No, I'm not."
Other young men began showing their overwhelming sense of justice again, and quite a few wanted to lend a hand. As a result, the girl, unfortunately, targeted Yuchi, who was eating beef.
Her gaze suddenly looked like she had seen a savior, and, under everyone's watch, she approached Yuchi. Before he could say anything, she knelt quickly, cushioning her knees with cotton. The speed at which she knelt was simply astonishing, bowing to Yuchi repeatedly.
"Sir! Please help me! My parents are sick, and I have a younger brother to look after!" the girl cried loudly.
People around were starting to feel pity.
Alas, there are so many unfortunate souls in the world. Look at this girl; she looks decent, but why is she so unfortunate? Finally reaching the Yatian Sect, which, to put it frankly, everyone comes to for a stroke of luck. And now that one hope is gone, it's as if bad luck targets those who are already suffering, truly heartbreaking.
And didn't you just have tea worth five hundred coins? Then it's not a problem for you to give ten taels of silver to this girl, right? After all, you're so well-off, you wouldn't mind, would you?
Everyone's gaze was now on Yuchi.
Oh gosh, being morally coerced... Yuchi chuckled but pretended not to hear, using a small folding fan to fan himself, even talking to himself, "Ah, dear brother and sister, are you okay? The child is soon reaching Yatian Sect; you must protect me well."
Girl: "???"
Crowd: "???"
What the heck is going on?
Looking back at Yuchi speaking to the girl, "Miss, it's not that I won't help you, but truly, I have no way. Look at my condition now, I'm not lying to you. I'm just pretending to be wealthy. Honestly, I know you all dislike me, but I have no choice. My brother and sister want me to excel. This time, saving up for me to train at the Yatian Sect has cost a lot of silver."
"And I don't even like drinking this tea; they simply made me drink it at this place, else others would look down on me! I had no choice but to spend half of the silver on tea. I even hesitated to eat the last piece of beef."
"If the beef wouldn't spoil, I even thought of wrapping it in cloth to take it back to make soup and porridge for them!"
The girl's face turned black; oh dear, did she encounter a master?
The crowd instantly started to feel sympathy, a wave of self-reproach swept through their hearts. They initially thought Yuchi was an extravagant rich kid, wasting money, but who knew it was his family's expectations? Thinking about it, it's true; brothers and sisters wish for us to have good lives outside, with pride.
Alas, we looked down on this young man because of these incidents.
