All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 99 - 98: Are You Jealous?_1
Amidst the overwhelming calls proclaiming Elder Su’s righteousness, Fang Yu gazed deeply at Su Bei.
At that moment, he knew that Wuhua Palace’s recruitment in Mo City was thoroughly doomed! At least in Mo City, they were chilled to the core, any hopes they had soaring away into nothingness...
But it was hard to blame anyone. Wuhua Palace had committed an atrocious act that enraged gods and mortals alike, and Mo Zhan was likely calculating how to retaliate against them.
Qin Shan turned his head and locked eyes with Fang Yu, both discerning deep meaning in each other’s gaze.
This Fifth Elder from the Sword Sect was no simple man! Even though his cultivation level was unclear, the fact that it had fluctuated from the Mid Stage of Divinity Transformation to the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation in just a short while spoke volumes! It meant one thing for sure: Su Bei was definitely hiding his true cultivation!
Shaking their heads, the two addressed Su Bei with a smile.
"Elder Su! Our apologies!"
"We misunderstood you! We are truly sorry! We hope you won’t take it to heart! If there is anything in the future, we..."
"..."
Su Bei turned, smiled at Fang Yu, then raised an eyebrow and quickly said, "Well, there is indeed something I would ask of you!"
Fang Yu’s smile instantly froze, his expression turning grim as he silently cursed in his mind.
I was just being polite, and you’re really taking me up on it...
But he still forced a smile and said, "Please go ahead, Elder Su. As long as it’s within my power, I will certainly do my utmost!"
Su Bei nodded in satisfaction, then cleared his throat. Looking down at the crowd below, he spoke loudly, "Fellow townsfolk! The day after tomorrow, I will hold a grand Sword Sect recruitment speech at the Mo City City Master Mansion! Yes! Anyone who comes to the speech can collect ten eggs from the Mo Family! The Sword Sect welcomes everyone! Yes, regardless of who you are, as long as you come to listen, you will get ten eggs!"
"..."
Mo Zhan’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
He felt a pang of guilt! Besides, they were just eggs; how many people in Mo City would actually go? What young person has the spare time to listen to some so-called recruitment speech...
Then, a grim look flashed in his eyes.
Wuhua Palace! I will absolutely report this to the New Emperor! For a renowned sect like Wuhua Palace to commit such a despicable act, do they think the Mo Family has no one left?
Seeing Su Bei’s eyes constantly glancing his way, Mo Zhan couldn’t help but cough and announce loudly, "To show my sincerity and apologize, everything Elder Su just promised will be honored! No matter who you are, whether from Mo City or not, everyone who comes will get a share! Ten eggs are too few; how is that enough? Twenty! Twenty eggs per person!"
"..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Watching Mo Zhan announce this with such fervor, Su Bei had an odd expression.
Is there a screw loose in his head? Doesn’t he realize that for a certain group of people, these eggs are motivation enough to brave mountains of daggers and seas of fire, to endure the moon at two in the morning, the scorching thirty-nine-degree sun, or the bone-chilling minus thirty-degree cold—they’d still go for it with gusto? But he said it himself, so it has nothing to do with me. Still, I have a feeling all the eggs in Mo City are about to disappear for a while...
"Hooray!!"
"Wuhua Palace is a degenerate sect! Ptui! I can’t let my Tiger Head go to Wuhua Palace!"
"Uh... my tavern still hasn’t been compensated..."
"Liu Big Head, do you have any conscience? How dare you ask Elder Su for compensation?"
"Exactly! Shameless! How can you be so utterly despicable?"
"Go ask Wuhua Palace for compensation..."
Mo Li gave Su Bei a long look and spoke softly, "Elder Su! If fate allows, we shall meet again!"
Then, she pulled Mo Xiaoqiang, whose admiration for Su Bei was as boundless and surging as a mighty river, and followed Mo Zhan away from the area.
Once Su Bei had disappeared, the bustling crowd quickly dispersed as well.
Su Bei sat on a large chair, sipping tea, watching the Sword Sect Disciples standing before him, all staring at him. He furrowed his brows. "If you have something to say, say it!"
Mo Youqian took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Su Bei, his face full of reverence. "Elder Su! How did you do it?!"
Zhen Jianting’s face flushed red as he clenched his small fists in excitement. "For so many years, I’ve never heard anyone speak of our Sword Sect with such respect! Our Sect’s recruitment this time definitely won’t be lacking!"
Su Bei looked at the Disciples discussing eagerly before him, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. He stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and said leisurely, "Is this all it takes to get you excited? How unimpressive! Later, you will accompany this Elder outside. I’ll let you witness my long-term plans! Alright, disperse. Disciple, come here. Sit next to your Master. Master will show you a great treasure..."
The door closed.
Xiao Ruoching stared blankly at Su Bei, silent. She moved her small feet slowly and sat down beside Su Bei where he had indicated.
Su Bei looked at the unusually obedient Xiao Ruoching with utter shock, as if he were seeing a new species.
What’s going on? Why is my Disciple so obedient? If I’d known, I would have pointed to my lap earlier...
He hastily reached out and touched Xiao Ruoching’s forehead.
Xiao Ruoching didn’t dodge Su Bei’s hand, merely gazing at him with complex eyes.
"Strange! You don’t have a fever, do you?"
"Has someone possessed your body?"
Xiao Ruoching didn’t answer Su Bei’s question. Feeling the warmth of his large hand resting gently on her forehead, she gazed intently at Su Bei, unblinking, then suddenly asked, "Master, will you take Mo Li as a Disciple?"
Su Bei blinked. He removed his hand from Xiao Ruoching’s forehead and looked at her serious expression, a strange look on his own face.
Has her CPU fried? Why would she ask such a jealousy-laden question?
Seeing Su Bei didn’t answer, Xiao Ruoching didn’t press further. Instead, she lowered her head, gently fiddling with her fingers, and said softly, "Mo Li has exceptional talent and a good family background; her father is the patriarch of one of the Dongfeng Ancient Country’s four great families. Both her appearance and intellect are top-tier, not to mention she clearly has considerable affection for you, Master. And I... I’m just someone with unremarkable talent, average looks, and no significant family background..."
As she spoke, Xiao Ruoching peeked at Su Bei from the corner of her eye, trying to gauge his reaction.
She was still murmuring when suddenly, she felt a searing pain from a certain spot!
SMACK!
It was loud and crisp, the sound even echoing slightly.
Xiao Ruoching abruptly lifted her head, her face flushed crimson, eyes shimmering as she looked at Su Bei. Her hands went behind her back as she tried to grab Su Bei’s offending hand.
But in an instant, her wrist was caught by Su Bei in a lightning-fast move. His palm was hot as he kneaded it against her skin.
"Master! What are you doing?!"
Su Bei held Xiao Ruoching’s wrist tightly, not letting her pull away. He felt the smooth, delicate skin, cool to the touch, and a smile curved his lips. "What am I doing? Is your Master someone you can question? What business is it of yours whether I take another Disciple or not? What’s this? Your face is as red as if it’s on fire. Are you jealous?"
