37 -37: The Meal Prepared for You

Yellow Character Number Five.

Lin Bai arrived at the door, looked around for a bit, then calmly pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside was a small quadrangle courtyard featuring a ten-thousand-year-old epiphyllum.

Its massive tree crown sheltered the courtyard from sunlight, bringing a touch of coolness.

Underneath the enormous tree, there was a black-faced, good-natured young man squatting and doing laundry.

Upon seeing Lin Bai enter, the young man greeted him excitedly, “Hi, you must be the new disciple!

I’m Zhao Tiedan.”

Zhao Tiedan might have appeared somewhat dull and obtuse, but his honest and innocent smile made Lin Bai feel rather comfortable.

“I am Lin Bai.

Tiedan, who gave you your name?

Was choosing a name this carefree?” Lin Bai asked with a laugh.

“Haha, my dad said when I was born, our family was in a famine, and people were dropping dead everywhere.

So he named me Tiedan (Iron Egg), hoping that a worthless name would lead to a prosperous life.”

“Big Brother Lin Bai, you might be surprised, but it actually worked.

Unlike most kids of my age who died young, I survived.”

Tiedan chuckled goofishly.

“Look at you, already rushing to wash clothes upon your arrival?” Lin Bai exclaimed upon seeing Tiedan doing laundry.

“Yeah, I’m helping Senior Brother Xu with his laundry.

He said he needed to cultivate, so he asked me to give him a hand.

I didn’t have anything else to do anyway, so I thought I’d help.”

Tiedan laughed and said, “Big Brother Lin Bai, do you have any dirty clothes?

I can help you wash them, too.”

Hearing this, Lin Bai’s eyes started to turn slyly.

He realized that the person named Senior Brother Xu was likely bullying Tiedan.

Looking into the wash basin, Tiedan was washing a variety of clothes—outerwear, innerwear, underwear, socks…

everything.

“I don’t,” answered Lin Bai, shaking his head.

“Tiedan, you should stop, too.

Whoever owns the clothes should wash them himself.”

Lin Bai said.

“I agree.

Whoever owns the clothes, he should wash them himself.”

Just then, a well-dressed youth with a lean figure entered through the gate.

He bore a joyful smile on his long face and carried a three-feet green peak smeared with valor on his back.

He exuded an air of a ranger.

“My name is Qi Shaolong.

I’m a new disciple with a cultivation at the peak of the Martial Arts Ninth Level.”

The moment he walked in, he confidently announced.

“I’m Lin Bai,” replied Lin Bai, laughing.

“I’m Tiedan,” chuckled Tiedan.

Qi Shaolong said, “Tiedan, stop washing.

Lin Bai is right.

People should wash their own clothes.”

Right then, a tightly closed door swung open suddenly.

A young man with a beaming smile walked out and greeted, “Oh my, I just napped for a short while, and everyone from the Yellow Character Number Five is already here.”

“HaHa!

My name is Xu Rui!”

After a good laugh, the young man announced his family name.

“Did you ask Tiedan to do the laundry?” asked Qi Shaolong, looking stern.

Lin Bai watched Xu Rui with a profound smile.

He had understood long ago that in this world, the strong preyed on the weak.

If indeed, Xu Rui had been the one who made Tiedan do the laundry, then it was probably just a matter of time before Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong would face the same tribulation.

“Oh my, I didn’t ask him to.

He insisted.

If he insists on doing so, what can I do?”

“Anyway, let’s put that aside for now.

These two rooms are still vacant.

You guys can move in.”

Xu Rui pointed to two vacant rooms.

“Hmph!” Qi Shaolong snorted coldly as he marched towards his room.

Lin Bai also started walking towards his room.

As soon as Lin Bai opened the door to his room, a nauseating stench hit him.

Three buckets of swill were sitting on the bed in the room.

Being summer, with the high temperatures and the room tightly shut, the stench was simply unbearable.

“Damn, it stinks so bad!” Qi Shaolong exploded with a curse.

Lin Bai turned back with an unpleasant look and asked Xu Rui, “Did you do this?”

Xu Rui replied with a gleeful grin, “See, I’m so good to you.

I knew you’d be hungry after your long journey, so I prepared some food for you ten days in advance.”

“Go ahead, help yourselves while it’s still warm.”

Xu Rui laughed delightedly.

Tiedan meekly walked to Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong, whispering, “Big Brother Lin Bai, Brother Qi Shaolong, just…

just eat a little bit, just a tiny bit.

Xu Rui isn’t trying to give you a hard time.”

“Was it Xu Rui?”

Tiedan asked Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong.

“No, you can only eat a little bit, they must eat everything.” Xu Rui laughed heartily.

Lin Bai looked at Tiedan and asked, “Did you eat?”

Tiedan nodded hastily, “He said it was prepared for me, so I ate a little bit…”

“Outrageous!” Lin Bai shouted angrily.

An imposing aura suddenly emerged!

Qi Shaolong was also staring fiercely at Xu Rui, his gaze not friendly.

Seeing that both Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong showed their claws and teeth, Xu Rui quickly withdrew his hypocritical smile and said, “Hehe, you new disciples, just obediently eat these things, isn’t that okay?”

“I advise you to eat quickly, otherwise, you won’t be able to avoid a beating!”

As Xu Rui spoke, his aura emerged, and his cultivation at the Martial Realm Peak broke out in an instant.

The Martial Realm Peak was a notch higher than Qi Shaolong’s Martial Arts Ninth Level Peak.

“Fine, didn’t you say it was prepared for us?

I’m not hungry, then I’ll feed it to you.” Qi Shaolong’s murderous intent increased.

The sword behind him was unsheathed, and a touch of cold light flashed.

A ferocious sword, without persuasion, lunged straight at Xu Rui’s throat!

When Qi Shaolong made his move, it was with a touch of killing intent.

“Humph, daring to act arrogantly before me without the Ninth Level Martial Art, are you seeking death!” Xu Rui snorted coldly, slapping with a single palm.

With a bang!

Qi Shaolong’s sword was shaken off, and Qi Shaolong was sent flying and heavily slammed against the wall, spitting out fresh blood.

“Bastard!” Qi Shaolong’s veins bulged in anger.

Getting up from the ground, he was about to rush at Xu Rui again.

Lin Bai reached out to stop him, saying, “Shaolong, you’re no match for him, let me do it.”

Qi Shaolong’s anger didn’t subside, and he snorted coldly.

“Be careful, this man’s palm technique is very strong.”

Qi Shaolong whispered to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai nodded, walked up to Xu Rui: “I know the senior disciples like you always teach newcomers the rules.

But you guys probably forgot, these rules, only the strong have the right to enforce!”

“Am I not strong enough?

It’s as simple to kill you as crushing an ant!” Xu Rui sneered.

“Really?

I’ll let you strike first!”

“If I can’t defeat you in one move, I’ll eat all three buckets of swill.”

Lin Bai stared at Xu Rui.

“Ha ha, you said it yourself!”

“Watch me punch the shit out of you!”

Xu Rui smiled grimly, his fist whizzed in.

“Collapsing Mountain Fist!”

The punch was so powerful that it made Qi Shaolong and Tiedan shudder, their eyes wide in shock.

“Lin Bai, be careful.” Qi Shaolong reminded.

“Humph, a trifling trick!”

Lin Bai watched as Xu Rui’s fist came at him.

He didn’t move an inch, instead, he punched back.

Bang!

The two punches collided in mid-air, causing a huge noise.

Then, Xu Rui’s body flew out like a cannonball, smashing his own house to pieces.

“What!”

“Is he really that strong?”

Qi Shaolong and Tiedan both stared at Lin Bai in disbelief.

“Damn it, you dare to hit me, I am a disciple of the Xu Family, the first great clan of the Imperial Capital, you dare hit me!” Xu Rui crawled out of the ruins in a sorry state.

“You just wait, I will come back to take revenge!”

Covering his chest, Xu Rui coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Giving Lin Bai a venomous look, he ran out of the courtyard.

“If you provoke me again, I’ll take your life!”

Watching Xu Rui’s retreating figure, Lin Bai said coldly.
