Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 155: Teach me the ways

"What do you think you’re doing?" Kong Jing saw how everyone was reacting, so he took advantage of this to put himself on the side of the crowd.

I just calmly looked at him and said, "I’m feeding the dogs."

Kong Jing was taken aback when he heard this.

There was something else that he wanted to say, but he wasn’t able to say it as I cut him off by saying, "These things are mine in the first place, so I think that I can do what I want with them, right?"

Kong Jing really wanted to say something to argue this, but it didn’t seem like he had any right to say anything.

I further shut him up by saying, "That is unless you are planning to steal them from me?"

If it wasn’t said out loud, it wouldn’t have mattered, but the moment that it was said out loud...

Kong Jing knitted his brows as he looked at me. It was clear that he wasn’t happy that I said this out loud, but...he had no choice. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Humph, who would want these things?" Kong Jing just said with a snort before turning around and leaving.

There really had been a part of him that had wanted to rob these things from me. But it wasn’t just him who had thought this.

The others around had also thought about stealing these First Grade Herbs from me.

Only there was a large deciding factor that had stopped them.

They were righteous sects after all and there were so many people around. It wasn’t as if they could just do something like this in a place like this.

If they were to do this, that would mean destroying their reputation.

Which was why the only thing that they could do was ignore me like Kong Jing did or they could...

"Junior brother, where did you get those herbs from?"

"Junior brother, I’ve never seen you before. Where did you come from?"

"Junior brother, you’re quite handsome. Do you want to come and play with senior sister?"

Right, there were some people that chose to befriend me instead of ignoring me like the rest.

After all, if they were to befriend me and I were to give these things to them as a gift, then there wouldn’t be anything wrong with that. After all, I was giving them these things out of my own volition, it wasn’t as if they were forcing me to give them anything.

That was the loophole that they were aiming for.

But of course, I was a man with two lifetimes of experience.

Though I didn’t really deal with anything like this in my second lifetime.

In my first lifetime though, this was something that I had dealt with quite often.

After all, I was a prodigal young master unlike no other. There were plenty of people who wanted to be friends with me for the benefits.

Of course, not a single one of them had succeeded.

I knew all of the tricks, so it wasn’t as if they could do anything to trick me.

That includes now.

I just ignored all of the people that approached me since I knew that there was only one reason that they were approaching me.

All of them had awkward looks on their faces when they saw this, but looking at how happily the dogs chewed on the First Grade Herbs, they didn’t give up. They kept trying to talk to me, but it was like talking to a brick wall as I just ignored them and played with the dogs while they ate.

That was until finally, someone caught my attention.

"Please teach me your ways!"

It was this chubby young man who suddenly came forward and said these words.

I looked at him with a confused and surprised look as I had no idea what he was talking about, but I could tell that there was something that was different about him compared to everyone else.

At the same time, I could see from everyone’s reactions that he wasn’t someone that was well liked. It seemed like there were even some people that were disgusted to see this chubby young man.

All of this made me curious enough to ask, "What ways?"

Since this was the first time that I had reacted, many people took note of this and tried to do the same thing as the chubby young man, but I just ignored all of them. I just looked at the chubby young man and waited to see what he had to say.

The chubby young man looked awkward at first since he never expected me to actually respond, but then he said, "I want to learn how to be a prodigal like you!"

I was surprised once again since I never thought that these would be his words, but I could tell that he was sincere about this. The way that he looked at me made it clear that he believed what he was saying.

Though I was still confused about why he wanted to be a prodigal in the first place.

That was until I heard the whispers coming from around me.

The people around me couldn’t take the chubby young man anymore, so they started to ’whisper’ about him. Though the ’whispering’ that came from them was loud enough that I could hear everything.

"It’s that fatty Wang Jian."

"Right, the one that relies on his father’s position to do whatever he wants. If it wasn’t for his father being one of the richest men in the Yu Empire, how could he have even gotten into a second grade sect?"

"I heard that he couldn’t even pass the test to enter the sect, his father had to bribe the elders and the sect master just to have them let him in."

The words that they said were certainly harsh and the chubby young man seemed like he was affected by them, but he didn’t leave as he just stood there looking at me.

I had to say that I was intrigued by this.
