"Hey, He Yu, get your facts straight. That double - headed cobra was at the early stage of the Deity - Transformation Realm. If it weren't for Junior Sister Qi Nian's pills, do you think you could've gotten out of that illusion?!"
"It's none of our business who you want to give the stuff to, but at least you should discuss it with us first."
Hearing this, He Yu grew even more impatient.
A bunch of ants. They weren't even worth a hair of Junior Sister Xiaobai. And yet they were still blabbering on. It was really annoying.
After thinking it over, he held back his inner irritation, put on what he thought was a handsome smile, and said to the people in the team, "The Ganoderma grass can be sold for two hundred top - grade spirit stones in the Green Wood Hall. I'll up the price to two hundred and fifty. Senior Brother Pei and I won't take any. You guys can just split this two hundred and fifty among yourselves."
"Now, Miss Hong, do you have any objections?"
His flippant look and arrogant tone hit every single one of Hong Chaoyang's sore spots precisely, but she just didn't know how to refute him.
This way of handling things left no room for criticism, but it was really unpleasant.
The disciples from the original team on the other side felt the same way. But due to He Yu and Pei Xuanjing's status, they could only hold back their discontent and didn't dare to speak up in opposition.
The young master of the He family and the direct disciple of the True Person Heng Ling. No matter which status it was, they couldn't afford to offend them. Since they were getting the spirit stones, what else could they say?
Lin Yibai was enjoying the feeling of having these people fight for her. She was extremely proud inside.
"Host, Hong Chaoyang is an important supporting character. You must become good friends with her and warm her up. Go and comfort her a few words. Don't let her have any grudges against you."
"Got it. You mean I should be a considerate bestie, right? I understand."
Lin Yibai wiped away her tears and put on an understanding smile.
"Senior Sister Hong, Senior Brother Pei and Senior Brother He were just worried about me, which made you all suffer. When I recover from my illness, I'll come to apologize in person."
Hearing Lin Yibai's voice, Hong Chaoyang was in a daze for a moment. She subconsciously wanted to forgive them according to Lin Yibai's words.
But the next second, Shen Qing's voice rang out, making Hong Chaoyang shiver suddenly.
"If you want to apologize, you can do it right now. Why wait until you're recovered?"
"Also, Senior Brother He Yu... I just heard from the senior brothers and sisters in the team that if it weren't for you insisting on going into the forest, they wouldn't have encountered the ghost - vine and almost lost their lives. Even their storage bags were lost."
"There were at least a few valuable things in them. Senior Brother He Yu is so wealthy. I'm sure you can afford this compensation, right?"
Shen Qing originally wanted to stay out of it, but suddenly a voice came into her mind.
"Ding - Pei Xuanjing's guilt value has risen to seventy - five."
"Ding - He Yu's guilt value has risen to eighty."
Hearing this voice, Shen Qing was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on her back. She knew what this guilt value was.
But what Shen Qing didn't expect was that she could actually hear this thing. And she never thought that these two idiots' guilt values could rise just by seeing Lin Yibai defending them!
No wonder the book described them as top - level dog - lickers. A few words from Lin Yibai could make them go crazy.
It was so scary!
So, Shen Qing spoke up.
But she didn't turn back and didn't see the shining eyes of the disciples in the team.
Their eyes seemed to be saying, Shen Qing, you're our big sister!
Who else but Shen Qing would remember their innocent lost storage bags? The few top - grade spirit stones that He Yu was compensating, when split among them, weren't even enough to make up for half of the things in the storage bags.
Qi Nian had originally done the math and found that she would only get less than twenty top - grade spirit stones when the two hundred and fifty were split.
There were talismans and pills in her storage bag that her master had just given her. Just these were worth about fifty top - grade spirit stones, not to mention the things she had saved up herself.
Qi Nian's originally dim heart was instantly ignited by Shen Qing's few words.
Hong Chaoyang slapped her head. Right! There were also their storage bags!
"Yeah, yeah. You can take the Ganoderma grass. But the compensation has to be in place. We're not working for free."
Lin Yibai's smile froze instantly. She cursed in her heart. Why couldn't Shen Qing just shut up?
He Yu was originally her mobile money bag. Now that he had to compensate so much, it was as painful as if the spirit stones were being taken out of her own pocket.
So she pretended to persuade them a few words, "Senior brothers and sisters, it's really hard to measure your losses. Don't make things difficult for Senior Brother He. Senior Sister Hong, I know you're the most generous. Can you help persuade them?"
Hong Chaoyang was put on a pedestal by Lin Yibai's words. Although they were praises, Hong Chaoyang just felt uncomfortable no matter how she heard them.
She opened and closed her mouth several times but didn't know what to say.
If Hong Chaoyang knew the term "moral kidnapping", she would definitely use it on Lin Yibai.
Shen Qing gave a sidelong glance at He Yu, who was feeling guilty again, took a deep breath, and said with a fake smile, "Then Junior Sister Yibai can pay for He Yu's losses. After all, Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Pei owe the senior brothers and sisters so many spirit stones because of you."
Now Lin Yibai couldn't smile anymore. She almost gritted her silver teeth.
So many spirit stones. Wouldn't this empty her pocket? How could she afford it!
"Ding - He Yu's guilt value has risen to eighty - two."
!!!
Shen Qing was speechless.
Shen Qing shut up.
Seeing his beloved Junior Sister Xiaobai being made things difficult by Shen Qing and Hong Chaoyang for his sake, He Yu's guilt value rose again.
And Shen Qing could clearly see that when she heard the guilt value, there was a flash of surprise in Lin Yibai's eyes. Then she put on a look of pretended strength and looked at He Yu.
Her big eyes were filled with endless grievances. Her long and curly eyelashes were hanging with crystal tears. Her shell - like teeth gently bit her lower lip. She looked so weak and vulnerable.
Seeing Lin Yibai start to act, Shen Qing knew she was up to something.
Sure enough, Lin Yibai trembled and said to He Yu, "Senior Brother He, I know all these things are because of me. So, I'll pay for the senior brothers and sisters' compensation. Senior Brother He doesn't have to worry about this."
After saying that, Lin Yibai bowed to Qi Nian and the others standing in the distance and said with a crying voice, "Dear senior brothers and sisters, don't make things difficult for my eldest senior brother and second senior brother. I'll compensate for all of them. I'm sorry, everyone!"
Now Qi Nian and the others were in a hurry. They hadn't said anything at all. Where did this inexplicable sense of guilt come from?!!
The on - looking disciples saw the thin Lin Yibai with a pale face still apologizing to everyone. Their looks at Qi Nian and the others were full of blame.
Instantly, there were two factions at the door. One was the on - looking disciples, and the other was Qi Nian and the others.
"Ding - Pei Xuanjing's guilt value has risen to 80, He Yu's guilt value has risen to 87, Shen Chuyun's guilt value has risen to 90! Congratulations, host!!"
!!!
Shen Qing widened her eyes and was speechless.
Just let the world be destroyed...
