Chapter 1025: It’s All About Being Part of the Process
As a sect, they had never robbed anyone before. Moreover, it was a legitimate counter-robbery. But everyone was in high spirits. Even the disappointment of having Gongxi Kuangdao stealing their kill earlier had also dispersed.
“Found anything?” asked Ling Chuxi after they had finished collecting.
“My Lady, I found five thousand taels of silver.”
“Sect Leader, I found two pieces of White Jade Crystals, but they have all been broken.”
“And a dagger.”
“And an Earth Spirit Flower.”
Gongxi Kuangdao, Su Yanhua, and the others announced their findings happily. It was obvious that they had never robbed others before. Therefore, for them, the process was more important than the result.
“What? Just these?” asked Ling Chuxi in surprise.
Five thousand taels of silver were nothing even in the countries of the continent, let alone the Sacred Realm of the Sect. Two pieces of broken White Jade Crystals and a dagger were not worth much either. As for the Earth Spirit Flower, it could be seen everywhere in Golden Pill Sect. Even pigs wouldn’t eat it if it were fed to them, yet Lan Xinyu was smiling so happily with her steal. It’s all about being part of the process! The process!
“Don’t you have anything valuable?” asked Ling Chuxi Mr c.o.c.keye.
“This was robbed the day before yesterday with great difficulty,” said Mr c.o.c.keye a little sadly.
They had been lying in ambush here for a few days and finally met Golden Pill Sect’s large group of people. They had thought that they would be able to kill a fat sheep but unexpectedly kicked an iron plate instead. Mr c.o.c.keye felt a type of anguish surge within him like the flowing currents of the Yellow River.
“This is driving me crazy. How did you guys become bandits in the first place?” Ling Chuxi wanted to teach them a lesson and let them go, but looking at their disappointing spoils and his cowardly appearance, she couldn’t help but be angry instead.
“You don’t know how to rob—you have no strength, no aura, and no eyesight. It could have been such a promising career for you and yet you ended up like this!” Ling Chuxi continued to scold.
Mr c.o.c.keye was stunned and felt extremely wronged. If he really had the strength, aura, and eyesight, he wouldn’t have been beaten to the ground by Gongxi Kuangdao and his men.
Su Yanhua and the others were also stunned. “Master, why are you teaching others how to commit crimes?!”
“Forget it, forget it. It’s because of my bad luck that I ran into you guys. Now, get lost.” It was rare for Ling Chuxi to rob others, but she actually met a few people who were even poorer than beggars. She felt that this wasn’t worth her time and effort anymore so she dismissed them.
‘Bad luck? You have bad luck? Shouldn’t I be the one who has bad luck?’ Mr c.o.c.keye thought to himself. But when he heard her tell them to get lost, he immediately scrambled to his feet and made his escape.
“My Lady, are we just going to let them go?” asked Gongxi Kuangdao.
“What else can we do? Keep them?” asked Ling Chuxi unhappily.
“If we don’t get rid of them, there will be consequences. In my opinion, why don’t we just…” Gongxi Kuangdao stretched out his hand and gestured a slit to his throat.
Mr c.o.c.keye s.h.i.+vered. He had personally experienced Gongxi Kuangdao’s strength. Killing him would not be any harder than killing a chicken.
“No… no… I want… stop!” At this moment, the stammering man who had already escaped into the forest ran back and shouted with much effort.
Lan Xinyu’s eyes lit up. This was great. There was actually another one. Now was her chance.
“Stay back, guys. This one’s mine,” said Lan Xinyu quickly. She was both excited and happy but also afraid that the others would steal her kill again.
