895: Incomparably Thick-Skinned

Incomparably Thick-Skinned

0"Ling Chuxi, I'll fight you!" Lan Xinyu growled and rushed forward, disregarding her image.

"How bold, daring to go against your superior! I'm cleaning up the sect today! If you want to be a guardian, guard your head!" Ling Chuxi roared firmly.

Lan Xinyu was taken aback and touched her head, suddenly feeling as if she had really committed a crime of going against her authority.

While Lan Xinyu stood there frozen, Ling Chuxi turned to Jiang Wuhen. "You won't be able to help much if you stay anyway, so just come along with us." Ling Chuxi knew that Jiang Wuhen actually wanted to tag along.

"Well alright then, I actually wanted to go out and have a look." With the mask, Jiang Wuhen naturally didn't have to remain at the Golden Pill Sect anymore. He was thick-skinned, so he didn't feel anything about changing his mind that quickly. Besides, Ling Chuxi spoke up first and gave him a way out.

"Did you offend someone?" Su Xiu'er was quite observant and bright. Seeing how he had changed his mind when Ling Chuxi gave him the mask, she guessed that he was avoiding someone.

"Hehe…" Jiang Wuhen didn't answer, and just scratched his forehead and smiled awkwardly.

"I knew it—you must have done a lot of bad things and offended a lot of people in the Sacred Realm of Sects." Su Xiu'er sighed and rolled her eyes, irritated that he hadn't matured despite all her nagging. However, although Su Xiu'er gave him a look of disdain, there was no sign of hatred in her eyes.

Su Xiu'er and the rest were not surprised. They knew and understood Jiang Wuhen through and through. He was a troublemaker, lying to and deceiving people, stirring up trouble wherever he went. It was not surprising that he had accidentally offended someone from the Sacred Realm of Sects.

After resolving Jiang Wuhen's matter, the group was about to set off, but suddenly saw Lu Chengfeng leaving the sect alone. It had only been one night but he had become much thinner, and was now practically skin and bones. His expression looked particularly bleak, and everyone there felt pity for the old man. 

Lu Chengfeng was a little self-righteous, but he was not a bad person. After coming to the Golden Pill Sect, he had suffered some major setbacks. He had lost his dignity and reputation, so his self-esteem must have been deeply affected.

"Mister Lu, where are you going, old sir?" Su Yizhi called out. He was truly a caring person, and couldn't stand seeing Lu Chengfeng like that.

"I have stayed in the Golden Pill Sect for a long time and have disturbed you all. I should make a move too." Lu Chengfeng who had taken such a hard blow finally put away his arrogance and spoke kindly, but his expression was extremely lonely.

He was too embarrassed to stay any longer in the Golden Pill Sect. He felt that everyone was looking at him in a strange manner. Hearing laughter would make him feel that people were laughing at him. If he saw someone whispering, he would think that they were secretly judging him behind his back.

In reality, Lu Chengfeng was just overthinking. Although he had been sent flying by a slap from Wei Zhixuan, he had still displayed an impressive cultivation. In the Golden Pill Sect, besides Ling Chuxi, only Su Yizhi could keep up with him.

After the incident, everyone understood that he was too arrogant. He had pretended to be an expert, and had been defeated by Wei Zhixuan due to his carelessness. If he hadn't tried to be pretentious, Wei Zhixuan might not have defeated him.
