Chapter 9-Labourers
On this day, in front of Qingyun Sect's Great Bamboo Peak, three people were walking up the mountain path. The young man in the lead had a straight back and was dressed in white. He was handsome and had a silver-white immortal sword on his back. He looked very dashing. The two people behind him were tall and thin. They were both dressed in green. The tall person was muscular and carried a crimson immortal sword on his back. The thin person was short and carried a yellow flying sword on his back.
The leading young man in white was Xiao Yicai, and the two behind him were Ma Zhiyuan and Shen Tiandou, who had fought fiercely during the martial arts competition of the Heavenly Arrival Peaks. The skinny one carrying a red immortal sword was Ma Zhiyuan, and the other one carrying a yellow immortal sword was Shen Tiandou.
"Eldest Senior Brother, we really have to go to Big Bamboo Peak to apologize to Martial Uncle Tian. This isn't good, right? I…I heard that Martial Uncle Tian and Martial Uncle Su of Big Bamboo Peak are very fierce. They usually don't give us any good expressions. I'm afraid…" Seeing that they were about to reach the front of Big Bamboo Peak, Shen Tiandou and Ma Zhiyuan could not help but shrink their necks and timidly said to Xiao Yicai.
Hearing this, Xiao Yicai scolded," Humph, it's all your fault. You two are good brothers, but you don't know the severity of the situation. You attacked without holding back and made them half dead. If it weren't for the generosity of Senior Uncle Tian and Senior Uncle Su, who gave each of you a Yellow Elixir, you two would probably still be lying on the bed. Whether you could keep your cultivation or not is another story. Now, I just want you to thank the two Senior Uncle. What are you talking about?"”
Shen Tiandou and Ma Zhiyuan felt that it was true. They knew that they were in the wrong and lowered their heads in shame. When Xiao Yi was done scolding them, Ma Zhiyuan muttered and complained,"Senior brother, we knew that we were wrong that day. We were grateful that martial uncle Tian gave us the Big Yellow Pill to heal our injuries. But when we came here, Elder Wang already said that he wanted us to help out at Big Bamboo Peak for a year to thank Martial Uncle Tian. This is a year…"
"The two of you still have the cheek to say that. It's not just the two of you. I'm not the same as you. Didn't Elder Wang say that if I don't manage you well, I'll have to follow you and work hard on this Great Bamboo Peak for a year.”
Xiao Yicai cursed at his two junior brothers. He couldn't help but be angry. Although he had retrieved the Great Yellow Pill from the Great Bamboo Peak and saved Shen Tiandou and Ma Zhiyuan's lives, when Elder Wang came back and heard the whole matter, he immediately flew into a rage. Not only did he scold Shen Tiandou and Ma Zhiyuan, but he also asked them to work hard at the Great Bamboo Peak for a year. In his anger, he even scolded Xiao Yicai, saying that as the Eldest Senior Brother, he didn't take good care of his disciples. He arranged for him to follow the two of them to the Big Bamboo Peak to be a coolie as a punishment.
He didn't expect that after he told Daoist Dao Xuan about this matter, his master would unexpectedly agree to Elder Wang's unreasonable request of shirking responsibility for the first time after knowing what had happened. Xiao Yicai was quite helpless. It was really a waste of talent to let cultivators like him and his two junior brothers work as coolies.
The three of them dilly-dallied along the way, feeling uneasy. Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain, only to see that the entire Big Bamboo Peak was cold and cheerless. There was not a single person.
"Big Bamboo Peak is indeed sparsely populated!”Ma Zhiyuan looked at the empty house and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Yi knew that everyone on the mountain, except for Zhang Xiaofan, was being trained by Tian Buyi and his wife at the back of the mountain. It was normal that no one showed up at this time. He said to the two of them,"" Junior Brothers, the two of you should be quick. Follow me and take a look at Big Bamboo Peak. If there are any tables that need to be wiped, or rooms or courtyards that need to be cleaned, move and clean them up. Oh, but you have to be careful. You can barge into other rooms. Look, do you see that house? It's the largest one in the middle. It's the one with the words 'Quiet Keeping Hall' written on it. That's the house of Martial Uncle Tian and Martial Uncle Su Ru. You can't barge in recklessly. Do you understand?”
"Alright!" Ma Zhiyuan and Shen Tiandou might have been chattering along the way, but they were really working hard. They quickly found some tools to sweep the floor and wipe the tables. They began to work.
Xiao Yicai also found a broom and swept a corridor. As he was sweeping, he suddenly heard a dog barking, followed by a series of banging sounds. Then, a person screamed and ran towards him. It was Ma Zhiyuan. As he ran, he shouted,"My God, Senior Brother Xiao, dog, big dog, there's a big dog here!”
Xiao Yicai looked in the direction of the sound and coughed. It was a big yellow dog chasing after Ma Zhiyuan, barking wildly. The dog was not small at all. It was as tall as half a person. It bared its teeth, revealing a row of sharp teeth. It was very scary.
In front of him, Ma Zhiyuan was clearly frightened. A cultivator at the fifth stage of the Jade Pure Realm, a master of the Telekinesis Realm, was actually chased into a sorry state. He could only run for his life instinctively and rushed straight towards Xiao Yicai.
Xiao Yicai was an experienced veteran, so he was familiar with this kind of emergency response. With a wave of his left hand, he pulled Ma Zhiyuan, who had just run to his side, and his body floated in the air. He quickly floated back forty to fifty feet and stopped in mid-air, easily avoiding the big yellow dog's bite.
When Shen Tiandou saw the situation, he was not slow either. He quickly followed suit and cast a spell to float in the air. The big yellow dog that had lost its target was so anxious that it could not bite the person on top.
Then, before Xiao Yi could react, he heard a delicate voice in the air,""Big Yellow, what are you doing? Quick, come back.”
That voice was tender, crisp, and pleasant to the ear, as melodious as a lark.
Xiao Yicai and the other two looked up and saw a red jade silk. It was a faint amber color and almost transparent. It emitted a red glow. On the red glow, a boy and a girl came down. The girl was dressed in a red dress. She had delicate features and a pair of bright eyes. She was very lively and lovable. The youth had an ordinary appearance, simple and honest.
They were Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling 'er.
"Eh, Senior Brother Xiao, why is it you!”Tian Ling 'er recognized Xiao Yicai and immediately ran over.
………
Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao, you're saying that the few of you were punished by Martial Uncle Dao Profound and have to do hard labor in our Great Bamboo Peak for the following year.”Tian Ling 'er stood at the side and looked at Xiao Yicai, who was holding a basin and broom and sweeping everywhere. She asked with an innocent face.
Xiao Yicai took the broom and fiercely hung it on the ground. He nodded firmly, but he sighed in his heart. This was the question that Tian Ling 'er had asked him countless times. He was the eldest senior brother of the Qingyun Sect, the number one person in the younger generation of Qingyun. Now, he had fallen to the role of a cleaner, and he was even being carefully looked at by a little girl. He felt as embarrassed as he could be. Fortunately, this was Big Bamboo Peak, and there were only a few people. There weren't many disciples, so he wasn't afraid of being seen.
However, that night, when Tian Buyi and his wife brought their disciples back to Big Bamboo Peak from the practice ground and were about to eat, they saw Xiao Yicai and his two companions covered in dust and dirt. They had a strange expression that made them want to laugh but could not. Xiao Yi wanted to find a hole to hide in, but he had no choice but to straighten his back and say,
"Xiao Yicai from Tongtian Peak, Ma Zhiyuan and Shen Tiandou, my two junior brothers. Greetings to Senior Uncle Tian, Senior Uncle Su, and the other senior brothers of Big Bamboo Peak!”
" Junior Nephew Xiao, you guys are..." Obviously, Eldest Senior Brother Xiao's dejected appearance as a migrant worker had shocked Old Tian and his wife. Even the gentle Senior Uncle Su's tone was filled with some doubt.
"Mother, these two are Senior Brother Ma Zhiyuan and Shen Tiandou, who Senior Brother Xiao came to ask for medicine to save them that day. The two of them and Senior Brother Xiao were punished by the Sect Master and have to come to our Big Bamboo Peak to do labor for a whole year! Today, Senior Brother Xiao and the others have cleaned up the remaining houses and courtyards of our Big Bamboo Peak!”At the crucial moment, it was the pretty Tian Ling 'er who helped them out. She pointed at the three of them and explained everything with a few words.
"Okay, let's eat!" At this moment, Old Tian became serious. He nodded calmly and did not look at Xiao Yicai and the other two anymore. He sat at the main seat and shouted for the meal to start. Su Ru was the better one. She brought bowls and chopsticks for Xiao Yicai and the other two and kept picking up food for them, which reduced the awkwardness for the three of them.
However, under such circumstances, the three of them did not care whether it was food or rice. They just stuffed it into their mouths. After eating, they did not dare to stay any longer. After making it clear that they would come back tomorrow morning, they hurriedly left.
Haha! Seeing Xiao Yicai and the other two leave in a hurry, the disciples of the Big Bamboo Peak could not help but laugh out loud.
Du Bishu couldn't help but hug his stomach as he laughed,"Haha! Look at Senior Brother Xiao and the others, haha, I can't take it anymore, haha!”
"Hehe, I'm afraid Senior Brother Xiao has really lost a lot of face this time!”The usually steady Eldest Senior Brother Song Daren couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Xiaofan, who was the most honest of them all, also had a simple and honest smile on his face.
"Humph!" Tian Buyi had always been unreasonable in the Great Bamboo Peak. Seeing his disciples laughing happily, he couldn't help but shout,""Didn't you see? Xiao Yi didn't say anything about these three people. The other two, Ma Zhiyuan and Shen Tiandou, were riding their own magic treasures. They were obviously masters above Jade Pure Level Four.”
All the disciples were shocked and then remembered that Xiao Yicai and the other two had indeed left on their flying swords. At the same time, they felt guilty and lowered their heads, not daring to reply. They hurriedly finished their food and quietly walked out of the dining hall.
After the meal, when Tian Buyi and Su Ru were alone, Su Ru could not help but say,"" Buyi, do you think there's a deeper meaning behind Sect Leader Senior Brother sending Junior Nephew Xiao and the other two to our Great Bamboo Peak? Shouldn't we properly consider how to deal with them…?" Uh, why aren't you saying anything? Buyi, I'm asking you a question.”
After Su Ru finished speaking, she did not hear her husband's reply. She raised her head and saw that the old man's fat face had already turned into a flower of joy. Su Ru could not stand seeing Old Tian's wretched smile the most. She could not help but poke his waist and said,"I'm asking you a question. Why are you so happy alone?”
"Ugh!" Old Terry finally came back to his senses and asked Su Ru,"Madam, what's the matter?”
Su Ru rolled her eyes at him and said," I'm asking you how to deal with Junior Nephew Xiao and the others. After all, Xiao Yicai is the personal disciple of the Sect Leader. Although the Sect Leader said that he sent him to Great Bamboo Peak to do hard labor, we can't order them around too much.”
"What do you mean we can't do anything about it? We can't just deal with the Sect Leader Senior Brother's wishes.”The smile on Tian Buyi's face grew brighter. He waved his hand and said,""Aren't those brats under our sect not serious in their cultivation? I've thought it through. When the time comes, I'll let Xiao Yicai and the other two stand there and be targets for Daren and the others to practice. I don't believe that they'll be live targets for a year. If he practiced every day, there would be no effect.”
"Ugh!" Su Ru's mouth was slightly agape. She was completely stunned.
