977 Can’t Discuss
Xue Fanxin did not know what was going on on Ye Jiushang’s side of things. At this moment, she was leading Zhou Xiaotong and the others to the canteen opposite the mountain. It took them six hours to reach it.
When they arrived at the canteen, the sun was already setting. There was no lunch left to eat, so they could only wait for dinner.
“Xiaomeng, what should we do now?” Zhou Xiaotong looked at the tightly shut canteen and had no idea what to do.
“Just let it be.” Xue Fanxin was very calm. She found an empty place in front of the canteen and sat down to cool herself.
Unknowingly, these new disciples centered on Xue Fanxin as their leader and they did whatever Xue Fanxin did.
“Sister Xiaomeng, I’m hungry again,” a ten-year-old boy said in a very, very thin voice.
Xue Fanxin sighed helplessly and took out some snacks and dried meat from her space. “If you’re hungry, eat it. Dinner will take at least four hours.”
“Thank you, Sister Xiaomeng.”
Zhou Xiaotong also came over to eat with relish. “Xiaomeng, your snacks and dried meat are really delicious.”
“Of course. This is good stuff!”
The dried meat was made from demonic beast meat, and the snacks were made by the top chefs in the Lord’s Estate. Even if the Flowing Cloud Sect was one of the three great sects, ordinary disciples could not eat such good food.
Xue Fanxin saw that these children were eating so happily and felt more and more emotional. Her desire to save them became stronger and stronger.
If there was no other way, she would get Ah Jiu to send these children away first.
From the conversation of the two mysterious people last night, they could tell that the so-called master was short of new blood. Perhaps tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, they, the new disciples, would be sacrificed.
She had yet to figure out the situation here. If anything happened, there was really no way to completely ensure the safety of these children.
“Xiaotong, have you ever thought of leaving the Flowing Cloud Sect? You saw it today. The Flowing Cloud Sect is not a good place at all. If you stay here, you might not even be able to survive.”
“Xiaomeng, you’re like us. You came from a remote and poor place. You should know that we have nowhere to go after leaving the Flowing Cloud Sect. With our ability, we can’t even resolve the problem of food and shelter, let alone anything else, so leaving is impossible.”
“Sister Xiaomeng, do you want to leave? But where can you go if you leave?”
“Forget it. Let’s talk about this in the future.” Xue Fanxin no longer continued this topic. Instead, she nibbled on the dried meat bit by bit, thinking about what to do next.
How could she come into contact with the core people of the Flowing Cloud Sect and find out about her father?
It seemed like she had to discuss it with Ah Jiu tonight.
If she really could not do anything, she would cause some commotion and turn the Flowing Cloud Sect upside down. She did not believe that those core people would not appear.
As time slowly passed, dinner time was about to arrive. People came one after another from outside the canteen.
Those were all disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect. They were all wearing the same clothes. When they saw Xue Fanxin and those new disciples in tattered clothes, they would reveal disdainful expressions or even mock them.
“These must be the new disciples recruited this year.”
“Look at them. They must be. Although the sect goes to remote and poor places to recruit new disciples every year, no one has been able to make a name for themselves until now. They can’t even pass the first round of the trial. Lowly people are lowly people. No matter how talented they are, they are still lowly people.”
“That’s not entirely right though? I heard that a powerful person indeed appeared twenty years ago. What was his name again? Oh right, his name was Xue Feichen.”
“Shh… Don’t you know that Xue Feichen is a taboo? You can’t talk about this person.”
