Li Luoming, “…”
He suddenly had an urge to burst out in tears. What on earth!!!
Ouyang Xi looked at the pitiful Li Luoming, and then again at Senior Brother Zhang Wang and Su Luo, and after a pause, still interjected, “Everyone here came from the same place, we should naturally look after each other, and not fight amongst ourselves right?”
Su Luo lightly threw Ouyang Xi a glance.
Senior Brother Zhang Wang lightly threw Ouyang Xi a glance.
Fairy Bingqing lightly threw Ouyang Xi a glance.
Other than Li Luoming’s painful cries as he clutched his butt, the surroundings were filled with silence.
Sometimes, the words of a man friendly to all[^1] would irritate both sides. Ouyang Xi had inadvertently played such a role. Unfortunately, he did not realize this himself.
The momentary silence submerged Ouyang Xi in deep embarrassment, as no one was willing to help him defuse the situation.
Ouyang Xi heaved a sigh, and asked bravely, “The night has already fallen, and we still don't know what's happening over at the Elder’s side, what should we do?”
What Ouyang Xi wanted to actually ask was, did everyone want to leave or continue to stay here.
At that moment, everyone fell into a state of deep contemplation.
“We will rest here for tonight, and when dawn breaks tomorrow morning, we will go back and take a look.” Senior Brother Zhang Wang responded sparsely.
Senior Brother Zhang Wang still had much authority among the disciples, so even the greatly arrogant and prideful Fairy Bingqing had no words of objection. She searched for an ancient tree, so large its branches and leaves seemed to cover the sky, flew up, crossed her legs and started to meditate, not paying attention to the others.
Zhang Wang glanced at the sky, and asked Su Luo, “Would you like a small wooden cabin built for you to sleep in?”
Build a small wooden cabin? Just for one night? Is there a need to be so extravagant!
Li Luoming and Ouyang Xi both thought: Isn’t Senior Brother Zhang Wang pampering Su Luo too much?
However, Su Luo unexpectedly nodeed, “Sure, it will also be a good opportunity to see Senior Brother Zhang’s craftsmanship.”
However, Su Luo was not thinking of using it for only one night, remember, she had her space. Couldn’t she just take it along with her when they left? Who knew how much longer they still had to stay in this little world? At least with a wooden house, they would have somewhere to take shelter from the elements.
Seeing that someone appreciated his handiwork, Brother Zhang was more than happy to do it. He split a thousand-year-old ancient tree with his hands and began to construct a small tree house for Su Luo.
While constructing the cabin, he explained to Su Luo, “My Grandfather used to work as a carpenter, I saw a lot, watching by his side. After coming to Purgatory City, I was always cultivating and fighting through the years, and never had a chance to return to this past experience.”
Su Luo helped Senior Brother Zhang slice the wood planks, and remove the leaves, while listening to Senior Brother Zhang’s sporadic thoughts and words.
Su Luo knew that the longer one cultivated, the stronger they became. But at the same time, the lonelier they would also become. Because the passing of time sifted out many friends, as time went on, it became even harder to sincerely make friends. And in the end, only a few might still remain.
So Senior Brother Zhang was most likely just too lonely, and needed someone to speak his heart out to.
Fairy Bingqing furrowed her brows and frowned, but in the end, could not bear with it anymore. She flew down from the tree, glared fiercely at Su Luo, and flew to a tree further away.
Normally she went out on missions with people of Zhang Wang’s caliber, but now she had to work together with someone of Su Luo’s caliber. For her, it was like a professional researcher looking at a high school student. Fairy Bingqing really couldn’t put Su Luo in her consideration.
She most likely felt that, if Su Luo were not there, Senior Brother would likely not have had the urge to talk so much.
The sky brightened, and it was up to Su Luo and Senior Brother Zhang Wang to return to scout for news, while the remaining people stood by at the same place.
After working so hard to return, Su Luo however, did not see the sight that she had expected to see.
After yesterday’s battle, the entire cluster of mountains were basically flattened, the surroundings were charred, with ashes scattered everywhere. The ground was marked with craters and potholes from the fight.
a è好人, a “man friendly to all” is someone who agrees to whatever people say, because they try the best to avoid conflict and want to just agree with people's points of view
