C718 Anger
Lee Zhuohua, who had been sitting cross-legged on the other side of the cactus, had discovered Wuliuqi as soon as he arrived. He was very happy that the person had finally arrived. This way, he would be able to get out of this damned place.
However, Lee Zhuohua did not rush out to chat with the other party. This was because he had just finished absorbing the spiritual energy from the two Jade Forest Stone tokens. At this moment, he was guiding the spiritual energy to repair the damaged meridians in his body.
"It's not the right time, but the spiritual energy will be digested soon, so there's no rush. Let's see who this man is." Lee Zhuohua muttered to himself as he secretly sized up Wuliuqi through the side of the cactus.
He was just an ordinary man and did not notice that there was someone else on the other side of the cactus. After he had avoided the well-dressed young men, he felt a little more at ease. He sat down on the ground and looked at his hands.
His hands were rough, as if from long years of hard work, and presumably from a place where his mother lived, and he was not much better off.
"Will I be able to enter the Profound Sect?" Wuliuqi looked at his hands and muttered to himself. Yesterday, he had been fetching water from the brothel's backyard, but now, he was following the crowd to the Profound Li Sect. This made him feel that it was a bit unreal.
He was also a little afraid that if he could not pass the request of the Profound Sect, would he have to go back to that place and continue to endure the disdainful gazes of the people around him?
The mere thought of those eyes made his heart clench. His face changed slightly, his teeth clenched, and his hands subconsciously clenched into fists.
No one had ever looked at him as if he were a single person in all these years. Everyone was looking at him with eyes full of disgust, and the faces were so deeply imprinted in his mind that he would wake up in his dreams before night fell.
He didn't want to, he wanted to change, but he didn't have the strength to do so, and now that he had a chance to enter the Xuan Li Sect, he didn't want to return to a place that made him feel bad.
"No matter what, I have to enter the Xuan Li Sect. I have to make everyone change their minds about me, I have to do it." Wuliuqi was a little confused and kept talking.
Lee Zhuohua, who was hiding behind the cactus, noticed the abnormality of this person and frowned slightly.
"What a strong obsession! He is..." Lee Zhuohua did not know about Wuliuqi's background, but he could feel something different from the state of the other party.
"Squeak..."
A sound came from not far away, as if someone had arrived.
Lee Zhuohua heard the sound and looked over. He saw two young men in luxurious clothes walking towards him. He did not know what relationship the two of them had with the young man in linen clothes, but he could feel that the two of them seemed to have bad intentions.
Wuliuqi was also startled awake by the sound. He quickly looked up and collected his emotions.
"It's you two ..." When Wuliuqi saw the two well-dressed young men in front of him, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then his eyes dimmed again.
He silently got up and prepared to leave.
"Who told you to leave?" One of the young men raised his eyebrows when he saw that Wuliuqi was about to leave. He looked at him with an arrogant gaze.
"Why did you leave just because we came over? Do you think we are the plague?" The other young man sneered. His eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at the five, six, and seven men.
When Wuliuqi heard their words, his body trembled slightly. He clenched his fists in his sleeves and relaxed.
"I'm sorry for disturbing the two of you. I'll apologize right here," Wuliuqi said to the two of them with an expressionless face.
"What is going on? This person is too..." Lee Zhuohua saw that the two well-dressed youths were obviously here to cause trouble, but this linen-clothed youth actually acted in such a manner, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's the point of just talking? You don't have the slightest bit of sincerity." One of them stared at Wuliuqi with a playful expression on his face. It was obvious that he was here to make trouble for Wuliuqi.
"What do you want then?" Wuliuqi asked, trying to suppress his anger.
"You have to kneel at least," the other man said with his chin slightly raised.
When Wuliuqi heard this, his face began to twitch slightly. It was these people. In the past, these people had always tried to cause trouble for him with the problem of his family background, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't even remember how many times he had resisted, but the results were often unsatisfactory.
But now, he had chosen to enter the Xuan Li Sect in order to change his fate. Before, he could have endured it because he had no capital, but now, he did not want to endure it any longer.
"Don't go too far," Wuliuqi gritted his teeth and said. There were sparks in his eyes.
When the two young men saw Wuliuqi's reaction, they were a little surprised, but their expressions also turned cold.
"Too much? He's still angry," one of them said in a strange tone.
"You think a bastard like you has the right to be angry? What a joke!" the other man said in a cold voice.
"Shut up!" Wuliuqi could no longer hold back his anger and shouted. He felt his blood boiling, and a nameless fire was burning in his heart.
"Humph." When the two young men heard Wuliuqi's words, they snorted coldly. After that, the two of them didn't waste any more time and pounced on him at the same time.
The three of them were just ordinary people, and they didn't have any cultivation base. The two young men in fine clothes were relying on their numerical advantage to bully Wuliuqi, and the two of them were throwing punches at Wuliuqi.
But their fists did not make him give in. He felt waves of pain in his body, and his eyes hardened. He waved his fist and retaliated.
Because of his constant labor, he was naturally stronger than the two well-dressed youths. The two of them were unable to do anything to him for the time being, so when his fist landed on them, the force was even greater than when they were fighting.
"Bang." Five, six, seven punches landed on the face of one of the men, knocking him back, and then he turned and wrestled with the other.
The young man, who had been repulsed, felt his face begin to swell, and a sense of anger rose up in his heart. His eyes were cold, and he wanted to go on, but he knew that the two of them seemed to be no match for one another.
At this moment, he saw a piece of rock on the ground. He picked it up without hesitation and slapped the back of Wuliuqi's head with it.
Because Wuliuqi was wrestling with another person, he couldn't see what was going on behind him and didn't know that danger was approaching.
Lee Zhuohua, who was hiding behind the cactus, was speechless when he saw the three people in front of him punching each other. However, he could understand that the linen-clothed young man seemed to have some sort of bitterness, and these two well-dressed young men were just silkpants bullying others. In his heart, Lee Zhuohua was already biased towards the linen-clothed young man.
Originally, Lee Zhuohua did not plan to make a move, because he thought that he could handle this young man in linen, but when he saw that the well-dressed young man was about to launch a sneak attack from behind, his eyes flashed.
