The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 12: At the Bamboo Fence

And thus, the trial with fire ended. As Hou Xiaomei walked further up the mountain, the Great Fatty Zhang looked at him and rubbed his chin seriously.

"Ah, very fair, very young, very pure ..." she said. Then he looked at Bai Xiaochun, as if he was comparing the two of them. [1]

Bai Xiaochun also looked at Hou Xiaomei as he walked into the distance, his heart filled with conflicting emotions. Then he heard Big Fatty Zhang, and turned to find him staring at him from the corner of his eye.

"Hey, what are you looking at !?" he yelled.

Big Fatty Zhang laughed loudly at Bai Xiaochun's anger, then took out a pouch of spirit stones and quickly changed the subject.

"Come, come on, why don't we count our spirit stones? We are rich now! Ha ha! This is really a good idea. "

"What's the point of counting them?" bai Xiaochun replied with a cold harrumph. "No matter how many times you do it, it won't change how many there are."

"Ninth Junior Brother, you don't understand. What you see is only spirit stones, but what you count is. " The Great Zhang Fatty rarely spoke of the depths of life. Hearing him speak in such a way made Bai Xiaochun startled. He picked up the bag and tried to count the spirit stones just like Big Fatty Zhang did, but quickly got bored and returned the bag.

It was at that moment that a glittering light rose along the trial through the path of fire. Everyone's vision swam, and when it became clear again, they returned under the mountain.

When the middle-aged honor guard in charge of the court with fire saw Bai Xiaochun and the others, a strange expression appeared on his face. After a while, he shook his head and ignored them. As far as he was concerned, the sect had to figure out what to do with the Oven.

Bai Xiaochun and the others were nervous, but seeing that there was no immediate impact, they exchanged glances, cleared their throats, and quickly returned to the Oven.

Big Fatty Zhang continued to count spirit stones over and over again, continuing until they returned to the Oven. The other fatty immediately returned, also excited. Everyone exchanged glances, and then looked extremely proud of themselves.

After the spoils had parted, Bai Xiaochun returned to his hut. He came to this place to live forever. Were it not for the fact that he needed medicinal herbs to exchange for the Longevity Enhancing Pill, he would never have thought for a moment about spirit stones.

That night, no one in the oven could sleep. Big Fatty Zhang and the others were too excited to get rich all of a sudden. In the past, their coin purse was very empty, but now, the future seemed bright and glorious. Having said that, they were still worried about the possible consequences of what they had done, making it difficult for them to fall asleep.

As for Bai Xiaochun, he could not stop thinking about the Longevity Enhancing Pill, and was equally unable to fall asleep.

The next day, news of the Oven blocking the way during the trial with fire spread like wildfire throughout the servant district on the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect. Soon, everyone had heard.

"Have you heard what the Ovens crew did?!?!"

"Are they crazy? I can't believe they did that! Heaven! They sold the place to the Outer Sect! How humiliating! Why did I never think of doing that ?! ”

“i've heard that the people from the Oven have an important background and are very well connected in this sect. Otherwise, how could they dare to do something so annoying !? ” All departments and individuals in the servant district talk about Oven.

In the days that followed, the crew tried to keep a profile, and even avoided going out alone. One night a few days later, Bai Xiaochun scooped the soup into a thick bottomed bowl one after another. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the path outside.

“Everyone from the Oven gets out of here right away! The Supervisory Department has received orders to investigate your role in what happened during the trial by fire! " Even as the voice called out, the main gate of the Oven was kicked out loud.

The sound of the door being kicked open echoed as several maids entered, all of them wearing Department of Supervisory robes. Leading them all was none other than the burly man who came last time with Xu Baocai.

Big Fatty Zhang and Bai Xiaochun exchanged glances, then walked nonchalantly to face the combat group from the Supervisory Department.

"i think I heard the crow crow crow crow crow crow this morning," Big Fatty Zhang said. "I should have known that you would show up today, Chen Fei."

Chen Fei laughed coldly when she first saw Big Fatty Zhang and then Bai Xiaochun. Their completely calm attitude made him frown.

In the middle of the road, he was excited, believing himself to finally get the advantage he needed to be able to defeat the Oven, in order to end the years-long feud that had existed between their two departments.

"Stop pretending to be calm!" Chen Fei said with a cold and terrifying laugh. His eyes were flashing with a sharp light. "Oven people, allow me to ask, did the seven of you attend the latest trial by fire for the promotion of the servant to the Outer Sect?"

"Of course," Big Fatty Zhang replied, laughing.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun could not help but laugh and said, "Is your Supervisory Department responsible for everything? you can even disqualify us from being able to become disciples of the Outer Sect? You guys are pretty strong. ”

Chen Fei could not help but think of the recent incident with the flying sword. He stretched out his hand to stop the other servants, then looked at Bai Xiaochun with narrowed eyes.

"Junior Brother Bai, if you are still unsure of my authority, then answer me another question. Are you Oven people blocking the course of the trial with fire and then selling the place in the Outer Sect? Do you dare to admit that you did such a thing ?! ”

"Of course I admit it!" Bai Xiaochun replied with a calm nod, looking quite charming. He even pointed at Big Fatty Zhang and the others and said, "So do they."

“It's true, we all do it. Keep going?!" Big Zhang Fatty said with a warm laugh.

Chen Fei's face flickered. He never imagined that Oven staff would actually admit to the allegations. He expected them to surrender only after a bitter and protracted battle.

His way of playing felt strange, and a strange feeling grew within him. Therefore, without another word he growled, “L is incredible. Since you admit it, then I don't need to ask anymore.you will come with me to the Hall of Justice. If any of you dare to go against us, then according to the sect rules, you will be expelled immediately! "

With that, he flew forward towards Bai Xiaochun, followed by his group members.

However, it was at this point that Bai Xiaochun suddenly extended his right hand and performed a spell move. Immediately, a streak of sword light shot out from his sleeve, turning into a colorful wooden sword. As soon as a sword appeared between the two groups, it gave off an oppressive cold light. Chen Fei stopped in her tracks, her face falling.

"Bai Xiaochun, how dare you resist arrest!"

"Older Brother Chen, the Supervisory Department may have the right to question us, but from where did you get the right to arrest us?"

"Hmph! What you admit is in violation of sect rules, of course I have the right to arrest you! ”

"Wait, what sect rules have we broken?" Bai Xiaochun asked with narrowed eyes. Big Fatty Zhang and the others were also staring at Chen Fei with narrowed eyes and cold smiles.

"you sold the place to the Outer Sect, which broke the sect rule number ... wait, huh?" Suddenly, Chen Fei stopped talking, and his face fell down. Grain of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It was only at this point that he suddenly realized that there was actually no sect rule that specifically forbade people to sell places to the Outer Sect while on the trial path with fire…. After all, not many people would think of doing such a thing, and even if they did, they would probably not have the courage to go through with the plan….

"Sister Chen, why are you sweating?" Bai Xiaochun asked, sounding flabbergasted. However, as he spoke, his words grew louder. “Come, what rules did we break? Justsaytheword. Wait, could it be that we are not breaking the sect rules? Elder Brother Chen, are you tricking the Hall of Justice into taking your personal revenge? Is that why you came here to punish us? Elder Brother Chen, what you are doing is the violation of volume nine of sect law number nine! It comes with a severe punishment! ” At the end of his speech, he felt amazing.

"Liar! i'm…." It was not only Chen Fei's face that fell. All the other servants from the Supervisory Department were all aware that there had been a huge mistake.

It was at this point that Big Fatty Zhang smiled ferociously, raised both hands, and cracked his knuckles. Malignant rays appeared in the eyes of the other fatty as they started walking towards the group from the Supervisory Department.

"Chen Fei, the Hall of Justice will deal with the violation of your sect's rules," Big Fatty Zhang said with a demonic smile, his energy surging. "But now, you better explain how you're going to compensate for the Oven's beloved main gate, which was painstakingly forged by the hands of many past ancestors who died in the process!"

Since they dared to block the end line of the trial with fire, they naturally did so after being fully prepared. Bai Xiaochun had suggested early on that they research the sect rules before making their grand plans.

"charge!" big Fatty Zhang. His mountain-like figure immediately caused Chen Fei and the others to start shaking.

Instantly, the sounds of clashing and the clang of battle rang out in the courtyard. As for Bai Xiaochun, his body flashed through the air as he descended on his usual spot on top of the bamboo fence surrounding the courtyard. He flicked his sleeves and clasped his hands behind his back. Gazing into the distance, he saw every lonely hero who was unwilling to participate in the battle.

"By flicking a finger, I, Bai Xiaochun, reduced the Supervisory Department to ashes …."

In describing Hou Xiaomei, Big Fatty Zhang used the same character that formed Bai Xiaochun's name
