Chapter 183

Bitter Granny personally picked a bitter green and handed it to Li Banfeng: "Eat this."

The vegetable leaves were at least clean, so Li Banfeng ate it.

Bitter Granny was quite satisfied, didn't force Li Banfeng to eat rice anymore, and her figure disappeared.

The White Food Hall returned to calm.

Li Banfeng sat beside Seeing Chu Er and asked: "After eating this meal, can we go back?"

Seeing Chu Er shook her head: "Still early. Eat white food once every ten days, and you have to eat for three days."

"Eat this for three days? You can endure this?"

"Have to endure it even if you can't. White food must be eaten, otherwise there's no grain next month."

"If there's no grain, won't you plant it yourself, instead of relying on others' charity?"

Seeing Chu Er was really scared of Li Banfeng: "Seventh Master, don't cause trouble anymore. I don't have bones as hard as yours; I'm really afraid of being beaten to death!"

Li Banfeng wanted to go outside the house to get some air and return to the personal residence to catch up on sleep, but the uncle serving food wouldn't let him.

"Before noon, not allowed to go out; this is the rule."

"What if I want to relieve myself?"

"Hold it! Rules are rules; why do you have so many things!"

Seeing Chu Er stepped forward to hold Li Banfeng, telling him not to argue anymore.

Li Banfeng looked at Seeing Chu Er in front of him.

Seeing Chu Er in Kucai Village and Seeing Chu Er in Green Water City were two completely different people.

"When did you become so cowardly?"

"Isn't this for cultivation?"

"You are a young lady of a wealthy family; why choose such a Dao Sect? Why must you suffer this crime?"

A trace of gloom flashed across Seeing Chu Er's face; she turned her face, rolled her eyes upward, and looked at Li Banfeng: "Why do you ask this?"

Li Banfeng pushed Seeing Chu Er's face to the side: "Ask you a question, speak properly. What are you doing with this face? It's useless with me; save it to scare others later."

Seeing Chu Er lowered her head, lowered her voice to the lowest, and said: "I originally intended to cultivate literary cultivation. The year my father died, I hadn't entered the Dao Sect yet. After he left, my mother followed.

To fight for the position of family head, the whole family fought to the death. Both younger brothers died, died at the hands of their own older brother.

What is called blood of siblings? Enemies who cannot live under the same sky are nothing more than this. My life is hard; I've lived until today. There are more people in this world hoping for my death than hoping for my life.

Isn't a person coming to this world just to suffer? Live a lifetime, suffer a lifetime; isn't cultivating in suffering the strongest Dao Sect? Don't you think this is the principle?"

"What kind of principle is this?"

"This is the principle," Seeing Chu Er was very stubborn, "When there's no one in this world who cares about you, you'll understand this principle."

Li Banfeng laughed.

In the past twenty-plus years of his life, for most of the time, no one had cared about him.

"If others don't care, don't you care about yourself?"

Seeing Chu Er smiled bitterly: "What's the use of me caring about myself?"

"The use is great; this is the most useful."

The two were arguing when they suddenly saw three more people enter the White Food Hall.

Did these three people come late?

"Do they still have rice to eat?"

Seeing Chu Er nodded: "Yes, they are people preparing to enter the sect. The White Food Hall will always leave them some rice, but not much."

A man, a woman, and the woman was holding a child.

Is this a family?

Is the whole family going to enter bitter cultivation?

The uncle serving food gave them three bowls of rice, each bowl only half-filled, and there were no vegetable leaves inside.

The man was starving; the half bowl of rice was gone in the blink of an eye.

The woman looked at the child, afraid he wouldn't be full, and scooped out some of her own rice to give to the child.

There was too much sand in the rice, and the child couldn't swallow it.

The woman whispered to comfort the child: "Chew slowly, eat slowly, don't waste it."

The man watched impatiently, stepped forward, and snatched the child's rice bowl: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat! Can't even endure this little bit of bitterness, what kind of bitter cultivator are you going to be?"

The woman watched from the side with tears in her eyes, wanting to stop the man but not daring to.

Seeing Chu Er gritted her teeth; she hated such people the most.

She was about to help the child snatch the rice bowl back, but discovered Li Banfeng was gone.

The man picked up his chopsticks and was just about to eat when Li Banfeng stepped forward and kicked the man in the face.

The man fell backward, and the rice bowl shattered. He covered his face, looked at Li Banfeng, and said: "What right do you have to hit people?"

Li Banfeng looked at the man coldly and said: "If you can't endure a beating, get lost! Can't even endure this little bit of bitterness, what kind of bitter cultivator are you going to be?"

The man had tears in his eyes, looked at the uncle serving food: "He hit someone, are you not going to manage it?"

The uncle serving food held the spoon and said: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Banfeng looked back at the uncle and asked: "You're the one who mixed sand into the rice, right?"

"It's me!" The uncle admitted, "This is the rule of Kucai Village; what you eat is this portion of bitterness!"

Li Banfeng nodded: "Good, I'll let you eat one more portion of bitterness!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Banfeng suddenly flashed in front of the uncle and punched him in the stomach.

The uncle gritted his teeth, stared, and focused his vision on Li Banfeng.

Seeing Chu Er shouted: "Careful, Shared Suffering!"

Bitter cultivator second-layer technique; this uncle wanted to split the pain equally with Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng's figure suddenly disappeared; he had launched the "Short Step" technique again.

The uncle's vision missed, unable to find Li Banfeng's figure.

Li Banfeng appeared again, raised his hand, and punched, flipping the uncle onto the ground.

This uncle serving food was a third-layer bitter cultivator; logically, he should be able to circle with a third-layer traveling cultivator for a while.

But Li Banfeng was still a fourth-layer residential cultivator; relying on the talent of "Turning a Blind Eye," he didn't reveal any traces before striking, beating the uncle until he had no power to fight back.

This is the strength of dual cultivation; the third-layer bitter cultivator was easily crushed by Li Banfeng, but Li Banfeng didn't intend to kill him; he hadn't forgotten the Old Lao Chahu's instructions.

The uncle lay on the ground wailing: "This person broke the rules; the village can't keep him."

Li Banfeng kicked the uncle: "You think I'm willing to stay here!"

Several bitter cultivators rushed up to surround Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng stomped on a stone on the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust. Taking advantage of everyone being blinded, Li Banfeng used fists and kicks to knock them all down.

More bitter cultivators rushed up; Li Banfeng pulled out a feather duster and greeted each one.

The entire White Food Hall was in chaos.

Seeing Chu Er was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

No matter what, she couldn't have imagined that Li Banfeng had just met Bitter Granny and almost been tempered, and in the blink of an eye, he was causing a scene in the White Food Hall.

Which hospital did he go to, and which doctor dared to say he wasn't crazy?

Isn't Li Banfeng afraid of encountering a high-level bitter cultivator?

Besides Bitter Granny, are there other high-level cultivators in Kucai Village?

According to Li Banfeng's estimation, among the bitter cultivators present, the highest cultivation wouldn't exceed the fourth layer.

Kucai Village is indeed conducive to the cultivation of bitter cultivators, but no one is a cheap bone; once cultivated to the fourth layer and above, there are other means of cultivation; there's no reason to run to this place to find abuse.

Li Banfeng was confident in dealing with cultivators below the fourth layer, but now he was a bit unable to handle it; there were too many of them.

After fighting for a while, Li Banfeng shouted: "Those who want to fight me stay, those who don't want to fight get out; don't regret it if you run too slowly!"

"Run quickly!" Seeing Chu Er pulled the woman who had just arrived, held the child, and ran too.

This is the smart way to do it; one person takes the lead in running, and can roll away quite a few people who want to run.

The man who was beaten hurriedly followed and ran; before long, more than half of the people had run out.

The remaining small half were still entangled with Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng suddenly jumped onto the roof beam and took out the tea pot.

Since these people don't want to leave, they can only take a bath here.

Li Banfeng rubbed the tea pot; the tea pot sighed: "Didn't want to come here, but still came. Ultimately, have to fight a battle.

I told you this can't kill people; how do you want to fight?"

"Just give them a lesson."

The tea pot agreed, letting the tea water submerge everyone's waist.

There were barriers all around, couldn't get out.

The water temperature was acceptable, not enough to scald them to death, but full-body blisters were unavoidable.

They wanted to lock onto Li Banfeng with their vision and split the pain, but Li Banfeng was jumping back and forth on the roof beam, and they couldn't find him.

Bitter cultivators can endure, but they also know pain; everyone jumped around in the water. Someone climbed onto the roof beam, but Li Banfeng kicked them down one by one.

The uncle serving food wailed: "Wait until Bitter Granny comes, see if she doesn't take your life!"

Li Banfeng laughed: "Don't you all want to eat bitterness? Letting you suffer a bit more is helping you cultivate; Bitter Granny won't blame me."

This was a joke; Li Banfeng knew he was causing trouble.

But he didn't cause any deaths, so Bitter Granny wouldn't make him pay with his life for this. At most, she would send him out of Kucai Village; this was what Li Banfeng was hoping for.

Sending Li Banfeng anywhere is fine; he just doesn't want to stay here.

But after waiting for a long time, Bitter Granny didn't make a move.

She was watching from outside the White Food Hall, didn't even enter the house.

"This old tea pot is still in the world," Bitter Granny laughed, "What he said also makes sense; this is indeed helping them cultivate."

Bitter Granny left.

After being scalded for more than two hours, all the bitter cultivators calmed down.

Li Banfeng saw they weren't fighting anymore, put away the tea pot, and jumped down from the roof beam.

He walked to the uncle serving food and ordered: "Go make lunch, don't mix in sand again; if I find one grain of sand, I'll beat you once."

The uncle didn't dare say much, carried a body full of blisters, and tremblingly went to the kitchen.

Li Banfeng walked outside the house, looked at the family of three preparing to enter the sect, and asked: "Why do you want to enter this Dao Sect?"

The man lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

The woman bit her lip and said: "We mother and child really can't get food to eat. I heard that after entering this Dao Sect, Kucai Village provides food; at least we can survive here."

Li Banfeng looked at the man: "Is this the idea you gave them?"

"Not me!" The man hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't know them originally; we were just traveling the same road."

Li Banfeng misunderstood; it turned out they weren't a family.

"Not a family, yet you snatched their food. You ate so happily; you really are good material for suffering. You stay."

"I'm not staying; I don't want to cultivate this Dao Sect anymore!" The man got up and wanted to run.

"Is this up to you?"

Li Banfeng kicked the man down, took two large silver coins, and gave them to the woman: "After entering this Dao Sect, all that's left is suffering! Not only do you suffer, your child won't have a future in this life either!

Negotiate properly with Bitter Granny, see if she's willing to let you go. You haven't entered the Dao Sect yet; she won't force you to stay.

After leaving, never come back. No matter how hard life is, you must strive to live happily."

No matter how hard life is, you must strive to live happily.

Seeing Chu Er looked at Li Banfeng and watched silently for a long time.

Li Banfeng tidied his clothes, pressed down his hat brim, and walked toward the distance.

He had to return to the personal residence and take a hot bath.

In the middle of the night, the uncle serving food brought a group of bitter cultivators and found Seeing Chu Er.

"That bearded man from the daytime, was he with you?"

Seeing Chu Er nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"What kind of person is he?"

Seeing Chu Er shook her head: "I don't know; met on the road."

The uncle serving food had a twitch in his cheek and asked in a low voice: "What kind of person are you?"

"A person who suffers."

This was the standard answer for Kucai Village. Seeing Chu Er had never revealed her identity in Kucai Village. According to the rules of Kucai Village, others shouldn't ask about her background either.

The uncle serving food didn't pursue the question; if he continued to ask, it would indeed break the rules.

"I came to find you today because there's a matter I need your help with. Trouble you to find that bearded man; we have something to discuss with him."

Seeing Chu Er lowered her head, rolled her eyes upward, and scanned the crowd: "Want to play dirty? Look at your lack of ambition."

The uncle serving food gritted his teeth: "Just this matter, will you help or not?"

"Won't help! What can you do?" Seeing Chu Er looked at the uncle serving food with a hideous expression.

The uncle serving food took half a step back; he was a bit scared.

He turned to the crowd and said: "Do it!"

Seeing Chu Er pulled a dagger out of her sleeve and fought with the crowd.

In the middle of the night, Seeing Chu Er was beaten half to death and hung on a wooden stake in front of the White Food Hall.

The uncle serving food looked up at her: "I'll ask you one more time, what kind of person is that bearded man?"

"I just won't tell you," Seeing Chu Er revealed a smile, looked at the crowd and said, "Come on, kill me! If you have the guts, kill me!"

The crazy Seeing Chu Er was still the Seeing Chu Er of Green Water City, scaring everyone until they shivered.

A bitter cultivator woman was scared and whispered to the uncle serving food: "If we do this, Bitter Granny won't be angry, right?"

"Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion. Bitter Granny won't care about suffering matters. It was that bearded man who broke the rules first. Bitter Granny won't care about him, let alone me," the uncle serving food said confidently, picking up a red-hot iron rod and saying to Seeing Chu Er,

"This is for cleaning up the household. You know where the household is yourself. I'll ask you one last time, what kind of person is that bearded man? He's not a bitter cultivator at all; why did he come to Kucai Village?"

PS: What does he mean by cleaning up the household?
