They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

Upon hearing Lin Mo’s question, Shen Ke’er finally remembered the purpose of her visit.

“Senior Brother Lin, I heard from Yuan Li that you took away all the Xuanbing fruits from the back mountain a few days ago?”

Her tone was somewhat anxious as she spoke.

Lin Mo found it amusing, why was his junior sister in such a hurry over his belongings?

“Yes, I took them. Is there a problem?”

Shen Ke’er frowned and reached out, “Senior Brother Lin, please return my share and Junior Brother Ye’s to us?”

The matter of the Xuanbing fruits was known to everyone at Qingzhu Peak.

Whenever the fruit trees bore fruit, the inner disciples of Qingzhu Peak would each get a small share.

Who didn’t know the value of the Xuanbing fruits?

One fruit was worth at least a hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

The annual yield of Xuanbing fruits was around one hundred and fifty.

That’s fifteen thousand medium-grade spirit stones!

She couldn’t believe that Lin Mo would have the audacity to take them all.

Seeing that Lin Mo remained silent, Shen Ke’er grew angry: “Senior Brother, based on the usual yield of the Xuanbing fruits, my share and Junior Brother Ye’s should be more than twenty fruits. With your attitude, are you planning to monopolize all the fruits of the Xuanbing tree?”

Shen Ke’er’s words grew more urgent and her anger more palpable.

Her entire face turned red, and her fists clenched tightly.

Lin Mo found it laughable to see Shen Ke’er looking at him as if they had a deep-seated vendetta.

At this moment, Ye Kai began to play the good guy again: “Senior Brother Lin, although my talents are somewhat lacking and the Xuanbing fruits don’t have much effect on me, my share could also be distributed to other senior brothers and sisters. Although you are the esteemed Senior Brother and indeed entitled to more, you can’t monopolize everything. The Xuanbing tree belongs to Qingzhu Peak, not just you alone.”

Lin Mo sneered: “Sorry, who told you the Xuanbing fruits belong to Qingzhu Peak?”

Shen Ke’er argued with reason: “The Xuanbing tree grows on the back mountain of Qingzhu Peak, so naturally, it belongs to Qingzhu Peak.”

Lin Mo stared intently at Shen Ke’er: “Shen Ke’er, don’t forget, you were practically raised by my hand.”

These words choked Shen Ke’er, but she quickly regained her righteous indignation: “Even if you raised me, Senior Brother, you can’t monopolize what belongs to me.”

“I don’t need to explain myself to you. If there’s a problem, go and have the master judge my crime.”

Having said that, Lin Mo turned around to put things back in place, signaling Gu Zi to ask the others to leave.

At this moment, Shen Ke’er, her anger rising to her head, no longer used honorifics and directly said: “Lin Mo, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to speak to the master about this?”

How could she have been so blind to not see the true colors of the person who raised her?

Could he really be such a greedy, shameless person, exploiting his status to usurp the identity of others?

Soon after, Shen Ke’er and Ye Kai invited over Master Yuehua.

With the master’s arrival, Lin Mo naturally wouldn’t refuse to open the door.

He hadn’t completely fallen out with Yuehua yet, so maintaining appearances was still necessary.

Master Yuehua sat in the main seat, looking at Shen Ke’er: “Ke’er, you said you wanted your master to uphold justice, so isn’t it time to tell what happened?”

Seeing Lin Mo’s indifferent attitude, Shen Ke’er recounted the whole story to Master Yuehua without omitting a single detail.

“Master, even if you favor the eldest disciple, you can’t let him be so selfish. You must handle this matter fairly.”

Ye Kai, standing aside, couldn’t contain his joy. This time, Lin Mo had made a blunder without being attacked, capsizing in his own ditch.

He hadn’t even had to trip Lin Mo up to witness such a spectacle.

He feared that after this incident, Master Yuehua would be greatly disappointed in Lin Mo, perhaps even stripping him of his position as the eldest disciple of Qingzhu Peak.

From the moment he entered the sect, he had been extremely envious of Lin Mo.

He himself was a heavenly spirit root, and if not for being harmed by a treacherous person from a young age, poisoned by a Gu, causing his meridians to contract and hindering his cultivation, he would surely have been the one admired by all the disciples of Qingzhu Peak.

Why should Lin Mo, with his dual spirit roots, receive the love of the beautiful junior sister and the master?

Why should Lin Mo, with his lower talent and dual spirit roots, have an easier time cultivating than him, without suffering the pain of contracted meridians?

Why is this world so unfair?

If it weren’t for the treachery he suffered, he would have entered the sect years earlier.

All of this should have been his.

Now, he was merely taking back what was his.

Lin Mo’s clear-hearted sword physique allowed him to notice Ye Kai’s emotions.

This junior brother Ye, he harbored such hatred for him?

He couldn’t recall any offense the original owner had committed against him.

At this moment, Master Yuehua spoke, her expression beneath the veil somewhat strange: “Ke’er, your master cannot decide for you.”

Shen Ke’er, puzzled, asked: “Why, master?”

Master Yuehua slowly said: “You entered the sect later and are unaware that this Xuanbing fruit was discovered by Mo’er two years before you joined, during his training, and it was he who planted it behind Qingzhu Peak.”

Shen Ke’er and Ye Kai were both incredulous.

Shen Ke’er, still not realizing the issue, asked: “Then why did the brothers and sisters of Qingzhu Peak get a share in previous years?”

Master Yuehua explained: “That was Mo’er, giving it to you all on his own initiative.”

At this point, the venerable Yuehua cast a somewhat puzzled glance at Lin Mo and Shen Ke’er.

She didn’t quite understand the relationship between these two, that it would cause such a stir over the matter of the Xuanbing Fruit…

However, Shen Ke’er was raised by Lin Mo himself, and now she had come to Yuehua to complain about the Xuanbing Fruit.

Venerable Yuehua was somewhat displeased and said, “Ke’er, you should not doubt Mo’er, who raised you.”

Compared to Shen Ke’er, Venerable Yuehua actually favored Lin Mo more.

Shen Ke’er was brought into the sect by Lin Mo, while Lin Mo was the first disciple she took in during her travels among the noble families.

Whether it was the time of entry or the relationship on ordinary days, she was closer to Lin Mo.

Shen Ke’er fell silent, her face turning red with shame once again.

This time it wasn’t out of anger, but genuine embarrassment.

She truly hadn’t expected Lin Mo to be so generous to the brothers of Qingzhu Peak.

At this moment, Lin Mo had no intention of giving Shen Ke’er any face: “Now that the truth has come to light, let me remind you, the Xuanbing Fruit is mine, and I can give it to whoever I please. In the past, you were all close to me, and there was no harm in giving it to you. Now that you’ve all distanced yourselves from me, why should I still give it to you?”

Suddenly, Lin Mo stared at Shen Ke’er and sneered, “If we really want to settle accounts, during the previous two divisions of the Xuanbing Fruit, aside from our master, I gave you the most—fifteen each time. Calculating the market value, that’s a total of three thousand mid-grade spirit stones. When do you plan to repay that?”

Venerable Yuehua, who also didn’t receive any Xuanbing Fruit this time, was puzzled as to why Lin Mo didn’t even give any to her, his master.

But after all, she was an elder, and asking for things from the younger generation was something she could never do.

Hearing Lin Mo ask Shen Ke’er for the money for the Xuanbing Fruit, her heart skipped a beat.

Although she had always declined whenever Lin Mo offered her the Xuanbing Fruit, she ultimately accepted it.

But now, to produce the equivalent value of the fruit in money all at once, that would be at least tens of thousands!

At this moment, even she couldn’t produce such an amount.

Moreover, if Lin Mo really asked her for it, where would she put her face?

On Lin Mo’s side, he naturally wouldn’t ask Venerable Yuehua for the money.

After all, it was the original owner who had given it away, and besides, Venerable Yuehua hadn’t provoked her, so naturally, he wouldn’t do such a thing.

Lin Mo extended his palm, indifferent to Shen Ke’er’s current expression, and said coldly, “This money, do you actually intend to repay it or not?”
