Players: All NPCs in the Sect Are Moles

Chapter 205: Chapter 198: Wait, What Does This Have to Do With Me?

That face.

It was really pushing the limits.

’It seems this kind of beauty is something only Mr. Wa can appreciate.’

He could only turn back and look at Wang Xiedi with the kind of gaze one reserves for a son-in-law.

"After all, humans and ghosts walk different paths, so I won’t be preparing a grand wedding for you.

But, as your father, I sincerely... Ugh, spit! As your brother, I sincerely wish you both the best!

You two lovebirds have to live a good life together!

But be careful! You need some self-control!!! Don’t wear yourself out for her!"

When the surrounding undercover disciples, Su Ling’er included, heard this, the last wisp of doubt in their minds vanished like smoke.

’They really did get together!’

’Eldest Brother, you’ve admitted it yourself!’

’So, our junior brother... really managed to conquer this Core Formation Stage curse with his personal charm?’

’So... so strong... Not only is Mr. Wang powerful, but his tastes are also so... out of this world!’

’A model for our generation!’

’Though I could never learn from him...’

The looks they gave Wang Xiedi grew even more complicated.

Although they still couldn’t understand it, they could only force themselves to accept it.

After all, this "perversion" of his had just been used to vent their anger for them.

As for Wang Xiedi, whatever gratitude he felt for his Eldest Brother plummeted thanks to those words.

’What did you just say?!’

’What in the world did you just say, you bastard?!’

’And what’s with that look you give when marrying off a daughter?!’

’Why don’t you take another look at her?!’

’How could you look away the second you saw her face?!’

’Why are you forcing something on me that you can’t even bear to look at yourself?!’

’And another thing! "As your father"?!’

’What the hell was that "as your father" crap?!’

’Did you just accidentally say the quiet part out loud?!’

’Did you just secretly promote yourself a generation, huh?!’

Just as Lin Qingfeng was about to announce the day’s tasks, his gaze finally fell upon the large crater that had been smashed into the middle of the courtyard.

And upon the person in the crater, who barely had an intact bone in his body.

"Holy crap, what happened here?!"

"The Extra? Are you okay?"

Hearing her Eldest Brother’s words, Su Ling’er finally nodded in confirmation.

’It seems any normal person would ask that upon seeing someone injured.’

’It’s just that this time, she wasn’t the one who was seriously hurt.’

In the crater, Ye Longtao painstakingly lifted his head. When he saw Lin Qingfeng arrive, a glint of hope instantly erupted in his eyes.

He firmly believed that with his Double Spirit Root aptitude, he would be highly valued no matter where he went!

Even in a demonic sect, it would be the same!

’This bunch of Pseudo Spirit Roots actually dared to attack me in private!’

’Let’s see how the demonic sect’s Eldest Brother teaches them a lesson now that he knows!’

He tremblingly extended a finger, pointed at the surrounding undercover disciples, and used all his strength to cry out his complaint:

"Eldest... Eldest Brother... They... they ganged up... on me... Threw me... into the thatched hut..."

’Huh?’

’Aren’t you supposed to live in the thatched hut?’

’Is there a problem with that?’

’There’s no problem at all!’

Hearing this, Lin Qingfeng’s gaze swept over Su Ling’er, over Wang Xiedi, and then over all the other undercover disciples.

He saw undisguised anger on every single one of their faces as they stared daggers at Ye Longtao in the crater.

Lin Qingfeng understood instantly.

’Did I even need to ask?’

’This extra must have started it.’

’Otherwise, it’d be an insult to his nickname, "The Extra"!’

’I knew it. A name like that is bad luck. See?’

’If you dropped dead outside one day, I don’t think I’d be very surprised.’

He cleared his throat, put on his Eldest Brother airs, and began to mediate:

"Sigh, you should be more amicable. We are a righteous immortal sect, after all. We should be harmonious with our fellow disciples."

Hearing this, Ye Longtao was so shocked he nearly coughed up another mouthful of blood.

’I have a Double Spirit Root!’

’A Double Spirit Root!’

’I was bullied by a bunch of Pseudo Spirit Roots, and instead of helping me, you’re talking about being harmonious?’

’And what’s more, a righteous immortal sect?’

’You’re a demonic sect! Since when are you worthy of that title?!’

He figured this Eldest Brother must not have recognized the immense value of his Double Spirit Root!

He prepared to emphasize it again.

"Eldest Brother, I have a Double... a Double Spirit Root! They’re just a bunch of Pseudo Spirit Roots..."

Lin Qingfeng cut him off directly, turned to Su Ling’er and Wang Xiedi, and asked:

"Was it your fault?"

Su Ling’er and Wang Xiedi immediately shook their heads in unison.

"He went too far!"

The surrounding undercover disciples chimed in with their agreement.

Lin Qingfeng spread his hands and said to Ye Longtao in the crater:

"See? They all say it wasn’t their fault. Why are you still trying to stir up trouble?"

"Longtao, an extra needs to have the self-awareness of an extra!"

His tone shifted as his gaze swept through the crowd.

"Right, where’s what’s-his-name? Dong Changsheng? Get out here!"

"You’re never around when I need you, and you’re always popping up when I don’t! Hurry up and get over here!"

Hearing this, Dong Changsheng didn’t dare to disobey and could only step out from the crowd. "Eldest Brother, what is it?"

"Look,"

Lin Qingfeng pointed at Ye Longtao in the crater.

"Isn’t this perfect source material for you?

Go on, tell him what ’every setback is a stepping stone to success’ means!

This is exactly when we need you! Go, make it crystal clear to him what he should be doing right now."

Dong Changsheng complained endlessly in his heart.

’According to the sect’s rules, I joined first, so I should call him Junior Brother.’

He didn’t dare offend this prodigy from Qingxu Temple’s inner sect.

But he was even more afraid of angering the capricious Eldest Brother standing before him.

Suddenly, in a flash, a thought streaked through Dong Changsheng’s mind!

’You must be grateful! Grateful for every setback!’

’That’s it!’

’Could it be that Eldest Brother has acknowledged my great path to success, which is why he’s letting me preach?’

’Why else would he call me over at a time like this!’

’That must be it!’

’He’s giving me a chance! A chance to display my "heart of a champion" and my "supreme great path" in front of this inner sect prodigy!’

Having figured this out, all of Dong Changsheng’s hesitation vanished like smoke.

He took a step forward, faced Ye Longtao in the crater, and began his usual spiel, which he laced with gratitude for his Eldest Brother:

"This... Mr. Ye."

"I can tell from your features that you have the bearing of a hidden dragon. Today’s misfortune is no calamity, but an essential trial bestowed upon you by Eldest Brother on your path to the summit!"

"You must be grateful! Grateful for Miss Su’s ’encouragement’! Grateful for Mr. Wang’s ’tempering’! But most of all, you must be grateful to Eldest Brother!"

"It was he who saw your extraordinary potential and went out of his way to arrange this fortuitous opportunity to be forged anew through destruction!"

"It is he who is personally laying the stairway to heaven for your future success!"

But the more Lin Qingfeng listened, the more wrong it sounded. ’What is going on here?’

’How did this become about being grateful to me?’

’Wait, what does this have to do with me?’

It wasn’t until he saw Dong Changsheng looking at him with a face full of gratitude that he understood. Dong Changsheng was asking for a beating!
