Chapter 28

The alleyway returned to a peaceful quiet. Not long after, the young man in green, who had been screaming and hiding in some corner, emerged. He first cautiously looked around, then ran over to Zhao Shuo's side. Looking at the unconscious Zhao Shuo, his bright eyes darted around, and his small hands began to search Zhao Shuo's body. But soon, he pouted and said, "Strange, there's no money pouch. Not even a storage ring."

Crouching beside Zhao Shuo, the young man in green suddenly said, "Hehe, this is definitely a fat sheep. Now that he's injured, I can take him back. Once he recovers, I can extort a lot of money from him. Hahaha, I, Jing Qingyi, am truly smart!"

A figure struggled to move forward, carrying Zhao Shuo on his back. It was none other than Jing Qingyi. His small face was covered in sweat, and he had to rest after every few steps, muttering, "I'm so tired. He's like a dead pig, so heavy. If I don't extort a lot of money from him in the future, it won't be worth it!"

In front of a dilapidated courtyard, two figures were looking around. Suddenly, they saw Jing Qingyi and cheered, quickly running up to him. They looked at Jing Qingyi, who was drenched in sweat, and the unconscious Zhao Shuo. One of the taller young men said, "Big Sister, didn't you go to find a fat sheep? How come..."

Jing Qingyi pouted and said, "Jing Busi, Jing Bumei, you two idiots, can't you see I'm about to be crushed? Come and help me!"

The two young men chuckled. Jing Busi took over from Jing Qingyi and said, "Big Sister, our harvest today is pretty good."

Wiping the sweat from his face, Jing Qingyi said, "Humph, see this? This is a big fat sheep. It will be easy to extort dozens or even hundreds of star crystals from him."

Jing Busi, carrying Zhao Shuo, almost stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Jing Bumei gulped and said, "Big Sister, did you hit your head?"

Seeing her subordinates question her credibility, Jing Qingyi pouted and tapped their heads, saying, "Doubting your Big Sister? You deserve a beating!"

After some effort, they placed Zhao Shuo on the bed. Jing Busi and Jing Bumei stared at Zhao Shuo for a long time and said, "Big Sister, this is the fat sheep you were talking about? He doesn't look like one."

Jing Qingyi, who was preparing to feed Zhao Shuo some water, said, "Why doesn't he look like one?"

Jing Busi pointed at Zhao Shuo's clothes and said, "Look at his clothes and his dying look. He's clearly a poor guy. It's just that he's lucky to be alive."

Jing Bumei suddenly said, "Oh, I get it. You didn't pick him up, did you?"

While Jing Busi and Jing Bumei were arguing about Zhao Shuo's background, Jing Qingyi slowly fed him some water.

"Hey, you're awake so quickly!"

Jing Busi and Jing Bumei, who were arguing, suddenly saw Zhao Shuo open his eyes and immediately called out.

Zhao Shuo, not knowing where he was, struggled, but immediately felt a sharp pain from his injuries, which were not light due to the earlier rock impacts.

A familiar voice said, "Don't move, you're still injured."

Zhao Shuo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a delicate girl in a light green dress walking over. He suddenly said, "It's you. I didn't expect you to be a girl!"

Jing Busi said, "Of course, our Big Sister's disguise is very impressive. It's normal that you couldn't recognize her."

"Big Sister?"

Zhao Shuo looked at Jing Busi and Jing Bumei, then at Jing Qingyi, wondering if he had ended up in a den of thieves.

Seeing Zhao Shuo's puzzled look, Jing Bumei said, "Yes, she's our Big Sister, Jing Qingyi. You don't seem like a fat sheep, so why don't you join us?"

Jing Bumei looked at Zhao Shuo enticingly and said, "I'm Jing Bumei!"

The other, Jing Busi, said, "I'm Jing Busi!"

Before they could finish, Jing Qingyi hit them both and said, "You two idiots, you're embarrassing us."

Looking at the identical brothers, Zhao Shuo chuckled and said, "Miss Jing Qingyi, my name is Zhao Shuo. Thanks to you, I might have been in serious trouble otherwise."

Jing Qingyi said generously, "No need to thank me. We cultivators value righteousness. It's just a small favor. But if you really feel bad, a little compensation is fine. A few hundred star crystals will do, I won't complain."

Jing Busi and Jing Bumei, seeing their Big Sister's righteous look and her words, covered their faces, pretending not to know her.

Zhao Shuo looked at Jing Qingyi with a bitter smile. Seeing that Zhao Shuo didn't speak, Jing Qingyi said without any embarrassment, "Well, actually, it's not that we can't negotiate..."

Jing Busi and Jing Bumei, seeing their Big Sister's self-righteous and generous look, called out, "Big Sister, let's go see if Long, Hu, and Bao have finished cooking."

Jing Qingyi waved her hand and said, "You two gluttons, don't forget to ask Jing Hu to boil a bucket of hot water. Our fat sheep, er, Zhao Shuo, needs a bath!"

Jing Busi and Jing Bumei called out as they rushed out of the room, "Got it, Big Sister!"

Jing Qingyi said seriously, "These two idiots have no manners at all, it's really embarrassing."

Zhao Shuo looked at Jing Qingyi and said, "Miss Qingyi, they must be orphans you've taken in."

Jing Qingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, but her face showed pride. "Yes, besides them, there are also the Long, Hu, and Bao brothers."

"Jing Busi, Jing Bumei, Long, Hu, Bao, hehe, what unique names!"

Jing Qingyi waved her hand and said, "Don't praise me, even though I did name them!"

Coughing lightly, Zhao Shuo took out several hundred star crystals. The room suddenly sparkled, and Jing Qingyi's eyes lit up, as if she wanted to swallow all the star crystals.
