Chapter 1703: Doesn't your conscience hurt?

Women and alcohol are the two things that can bring men closer together.

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Ye Zhangqing wore a strange expression and for a moment didn't know how to answer.

He could only silently watch Xu Jie, and under Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Xu Jie handed the recording stone in his hand to him, stood up and said.

"Junior brother, help me hold this."

"Third senior brother, you..............."

"I made them reconcile as before."

Speaking, Xu Jie stepped forward to face A Cheng and the two; at this point the two were completely drunk and amnesiac, yet Xu Jie this guy actually could communicate with them.

Watching Xu Jie talk with the two who were completely drunk and dazed, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched—how the hell did he manage that?

Moreover, the most outrageous part is that, under Xu Jie's manipulation, those two actually ended up swearing brotherhood right then and there.

Kneeling on the ground, eyes unfocused, speech slurred, they actually ended up becoming sworn brothers.

Finally, under Xu Jie's attempt, the two embraced, each shouting "brother".

They kept saying how they regretted what had happened before.

Watching the two clutching their heads and sobbing, Xu Jie walked back satisfied and asked Ye Zhangqing.

"How is it, junior brother, have you recorded it all?"

"Mm."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded complexly—was this matter really settled just like that?

After a bout of chaos, eventually A Cheng and the two fell into deep sleep; Xu Jie tossed them to the side, letting them sleep together, head to foot.

"Since they're brothers, they have to sleep together."

Satisfied with his handiwork, he saw A Cheng and the two facing each other, their mouths almost touching, their hands tightly clasped.

The two, unconscious, obviously didn't know what they were doing; all of this was Xu Jie's doing.

After doing all that, Xu Jie turned to look at Ye Zhangqing and smiled.

"All set, junior brother—shouldn't we also start eating?"

"Okay."

Faced with Xu Jie's inhuman antics, Ye Zhangqing nodded with a complex expression, saying this guy was truly devious, absolutely the type who does nothing human.

Just seeing A Cheng and the two's actions made Ye Zhangqing feel his eyes burn.

But Xu Jie felt no problem at all, he put away the recording stone, pulled Ye Zhangqing, and walked out of the tree hole.

As the two came out, Zhao Zhengping and the other senior brothers waiting outside the tree hole each looked on with anticipation.

Without anyone speaking, Ye Zhangqing could tell what they were thinking—what else could they think about besides wanting to eat?

Moreover, the subordinates of A Cheng and the two, seeing only Ye Zhangqing and Xu Jie come out, someone also stepped forward curiously to inquire.

Some were worried about their eldest brother's condition; Ye Zhangqing said nothing, just letting them go in and take a look to know for themselves.

Afterward, each side sent a few people into the tree hole to check the situation.

Not long after they came out of the tree hole, everyone had a strange expression; facing their companions' questions, they remained silent for a long time, only uttering a single sentence.

"Don't worry, the eldest brother and them are fine."

With strange expressions, having just entered the tree hole, they saw A Cheng and the two embraced, their eyes almost popping out—what situation is this, how did they inexplicably end up embracing, and what does mouth-to-mouth mean?

Regardless, they couldn't understand it; since the eldest brother was like that, they couldn't say anything, only saying the change came too fast, leaving people completely bewildered with no preparation at all.

After dealing with A Cheng and the two's matter, everyone finally got to the long-awaited mealtime.

The senior brothers didn't need Ye Zhangqing to speak; each volunteered to build the stove.

Then they helped Ye Zhangqing wash vegetables and chop meat, lending a hand.

Ye Zhangqing only needed to be in charge of stir-frying at the stove.

Just like when he was at Dao Yi Shengdi, and as Ye Zhangqing moved, that tempting aroma once again wafted out.

The youths of Liufang Dizhi smelled that aroma again; although they didn't know what was happening, they couldn't help but gather curiously.

Each looked at Ye Zhangqing and the others with doubt, not knowing what they were doing.

But that smell still made them involuntarily swallow saliva—it really was too fragrant.

The bolder ones even stepped forward to ask Zhao Zhengping and the others what they were doing.

Just looking at the expressions of those Heavenly Pride from Liufang Dizhi, the senior brothers already knew what they were thinking.

In response, everyone had long grown accustomed to it—who could refuse Ye Zhangqing's food?

However, these guys, having lived in Liufang Dizhi since childhood, only know to smell the fragrance and want to eat, unable to stop swallowing saliva, but they don't know what this is.

Thinking this through, the senior brothers instantly grinned—this was easy to handle.

So, facing these people's inquiries, the senior brothers each spoke up, offering various excuses.

"Well, this is our cultivation method."

"Cultivation method?"

"Yes, and it's an ancestral secret, so the specifics can't be told to you."

"Just like how you usually cultivate, this is our cultivation method."

Taken in by the senior brothers' bluff, even though they lived in Liufang Dizhi, the youths also knew that cultivation methods and such shouldn't be casually told to others.

Just like our own cultivation method, it cannot be told to other forces.

So, under the senior brothers' bluff, although the youths were dying of hunger, after being dazed by the deception they still nodded obediently, suppressing their urges and daring not to step forward.

However, just then, Xu Jie, who had just finished helping with the chores, saw everyone talking nonstop, having become great deceivers, and with a dark face stepped forward and shouted.

"Doesn't your conscience hurt? How can you deceive people like this?"

"Huh???"

Seeing that everyone had been fooled into stupidity, Xu Jie suddenly pulled this stunt, leaving all the senior brothers stunned, each looking at him in bewilderment.

What is this Xú Lǎosān up to again? He wouldn't be thinking of sharing the food with them, would he?

No way, Xú Lǎosān isn't like that; this guy always eats more and takes more—how could he have such a mindset?

This is a ruthless person who would even dare to sell out his own master; expecting him to do any good deed is like expecting the sun to rise in the west.

Under the gaze of all the fellow disciples and the Heavenly Pride of the Exiled Lands, Xu Jie stepped forward, his expression gradually turning sorrowful and desperate.

"Don't listen to our fellow disciples' nonsense; actually this isn't for cultivation, it's medicine."

"We fellow disciples all suffer from a fatal illness, so we must take these medicines every day to cling to life; if one day we don't get them, the illness in our bodies will flare up, and then we will die and our cultivation will vanish."

Huh???

As soon as Xu Jie said that, everyone present was stunned.
