They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

Well, what kind of scenery is this room, anyway?

On the redwood bed, Xie Zhinan was sitting on top of Xie Zhiyu’s body, her hands pulling her sister’s dress.

No, it should be said that the dress had already been pulled off to half its length, revealing the white and delicate shoulders that looked like they could be blown away.

Looking down, the majestic and powerful…

Hey, this is wrong, this is a bit too flat…

Lin Mo wasn’t a saint, and since he had already seen it, he might as well take a closer look.

Xie Zhiyu’s face, already red, was now completely like a red-hot iron ball, with steam rising from her face. In a state of confusion, her entire body was buried in the bed.

“What are you doing, Brother?”

Xie Zhiqi’s face darkened, anyone’s ‘happy’ moment disrupted would not be pleased.

“Cough cough!”

Lin Mo coughed awkwardly, communicating with the Liuli Sword in his heart.

You’d better find that ghost for me, or you might spend the rest of your life with dung.

And it’s a man’s at that!

“I’m not deceiving you, just look in the corner by the head of the bed!” The spirit of the Liuli Sword affirmed with certainty.

Lin Mo was also in a state of doubt; he had sensed the room and noticed nothing unusual.

However, at this point, he had no other choice.

“Junior Sister, would you believe me if I said I came to catch a ghost?”

“Senior Brother, you’d better be here to catch a ghost,” Xie Zhi’an’s voice was somewhat cold.

Lin Mo walked towards the head of the bed.

Then he covered the entire room with his spiritual power.

If there was a ghost, it would surely reveal itself!

In the corner by the head of the bed, a wisp of blue remnant soul, as if frightened, darted out the door.

Everyone present saw it clearly.

Xie Zhi’an leaned towards the bed and picked up her sword: “Senior Brother, don’t tell me that’s the ghost you spoke of!”

Such a remnant soul had no consciousness of its own, not even a complete soul, let alone a ghost.

Lin Mo knew this, and so did Xie Zhi’an.

“Junior Sister, as you can see, there’s something unclean in your room!”

With that, Lin Mo turned and fled.

This was not a place to linger!

As he left, he did not forget to close the door.

Alas, the door, which he had damaged upon entering, would not shut.

In the end, Lin Mo could only return to his room dejectedly.

He threw the Liuli Sword on the table and said fiercely, “Are you playing with me?”

“Xiao Li did not!”

“You said it yourself, a remnant soul is unclean, a sinister thing. Xiao Li just did as you instructed, nothing else can be blamed on Xiao Li.”

The spirit of the Liuli Sword spoke logically.

But Lin Mo felt that this guy must have known his request and deliberately played this trick on him,

yet he had no way to deal with it.

“Fine, you win this time.”

The spirit of the Glazed Sword seemed very happy, humming in contentment upon hearing Lin Mo’s concession.

“Now, let me restate my demands. If you detect a malevolent entity, one with resentment so strong it has taken physical form, only then tell me its location!”

“So that’s how it is. You should’ve made your request clear to Xiao Li earlier.”

“So, do you know where it is?” Lin Mo asked.

“I don’t know!!!”

Lin Mo’s forehead throbbed.

And so, the Glazed Sword was thrown back into the furnace to be scorched.

“You big meanie, treating Xiao Li like this again, hot, hot, hot!”

“It’s just that you seemed to have gathered some dust, I was merely cleaning you up!” Lin Mo said with a benign smile.

In the end, amidst the Glazed Sword spirit’s curses, Lin Mo subjected it to several more ‘high-temperature sterilizations’.

…

The next day, the states of the junior sisters were all different.

Xie Zhi’an’s resentment towards Lin Mo was almost tangible, while Xie Zhi’qu’s cheeks flushed red at the sight of him.

“I slept so well!” Qu Ruoyan stretched lazily, looking refreshed and spirited.

“You might have, but you kept talking in your sleep all night, listing off dish names. How could I sleep?” Xia He, with dark circles under her eyes, looked utterly drained.

“I’m so sorry, Xia Xia!” Qu Ruoyan scratched her head sheepishly: “Ever since I was little, I’ve had the habit of sleep-talking about food!”

“Then couldn’t you have mentioned that before sharing a room with me?” Xia He said, exasperated.

After breakfast, Lin Mo planned to visit Landlord Ding.

Having roughly learned the location of the Ding residence from the innkeeper, they set off immediately.

Along the way, Xia He also sensed something odd about the atmosphere between the Xie sisters and Lin Mo.

“What’s with that murderous look in your eyes?” Xia He patted Xie Zhi’an’s shoulder, full of curiosity.

“It’s nothing, just that I find Senior Brother Lin particularly annoying!”

Xie Zhi’an was not at liberty to discuss last night’s events.

“It seems we think alike; I find that guy extremely annoying too!” Xia He, as if she had found a ‘comrade’, quickly became close with Xie Zhi’an.

Their conversation was filled with complaints about Lin Mo’s shortcomings.

Lin Mo, however, was indifferent. After all, once this training mission was over, he had no intention of interacting with this group of junior sisters.

Qu Ruoyan, nibbling on a meat bun, said in confusion: “I think Senior Brother Lin is quite nice!”

Lin Mo was surprised; he hadn’t expected to have an angel in the team.

“What’s so good about that kind of person?” Xia He frowned: “What kind of potion has he fed you to make you think like that?”

“Senior brother treated me to meat buns yesterday, and made sure I was well-fed at the inn,” Qu Ruyan said with a bright smile, clearly delighted at the mention of food.

“You’re so hopeless!” Xia He scolded. “Whatever you want to eat these days, I’ll buy it for you!”

Qu Ruyan’s eyes sparkled as she grasped Xia He’s hands, her face earnest, “Xia Xia, you’re such a good person!”

“So, what do you think of Senior Brother Lin now?” Xia He asked with a smug glance at Lin Mo.

Without hesitation, Qu Ruyan declared, “Xia Xia and Senior Brother Lin are both good people!”

Pfft, this ‘naturally dumb’ girl is quite adorable.

Lin Mo thought that her ‘grateful and loyal’ nature, not easily swayed by others’ sweet talk, was much stronger than that of his junior sister, whom he had brought up since childhood.

Xia He shook her head helplessly, not expecting Qu Ruyan to be so innocent.

She didn’t wish to lead this pure girl astray and chose to say no more.

As they were heading towards the Ding residence, a noisy commotion came from not far away.

Looking towards the source, a scar-faced brute was glaring menacingly at an elderly man with a head of white hair.

“Tell me, are you going to pay this month’s rent or not? Do you still want to do business?”

“Master Tang, please give this old man a few more days, I’ll definitely pay your rent,” the vendor pleaded, offering a few rolls of vegetables to the brute, “Master Tang, please take these to eat for now.”

“What do I want with your lousy wild veggies!!!” The brute swatted them away, scattering the neatly rolled vegetables all over the ground.

The old man could only silently gather the vegetables from the ground, one by one.

The surrounding vendors just watched, clearly having no intention of intervening.

To them, such sights were all too common.

Seeing his four junior sisters’ faces filled with anger, Lin Mo kindly reminded them.

“Some things aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface.”

“Rashly and without a plan helping the weak can actually harm them.”

Clearly, his words fell on deaf ears.

“Bullying an old man, that’s despicable!”

With a roar of anger, Xia He led her junior sisters charging forward.
