Chapter 28 True Thoughts

  The two of them walked quickly towards the library.

  "Ah!" Ma Feifei exclaimed, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

  Shi Dong stopped in his tracks and stared at him in surprise.

  "Good brother, I just thought of something, you teasing the little rooster like that is very improper!"

  "What's wrong?" Shi Dong narrowed his small eyes and smiled, seemingly carefree.

  "Look, Little Rooster's cultivation base is quite high, he's already at the second layer of Qi Refining. In a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid neither of us would be his match. According to your previous speculation, Second Brother might still be backing him up from behind. That... earlier when we took advantage of him with words, he'll definitely seek revenge in the future! As for me, I'm not afraid, at worst I'd engage in a fight to the death, but I couldn't bear to lose face for the Miao family's ironworkers. But as for you, brother, since you're also implicated in this, isn't it better to just drop it?"

  "Big brother, how can you be so heartless towards me?" Shi Dong gazed at him with a straight face, "We brothers have already sworn an oath to 'share good fortune and bad, and die on the same year, month and day', if you're going to fight to the death with Xiao Gong Ji, can I, as your brother, just stand by and do nothing?"

  Mao Feifei was deeply moved, scratched his head and said, "Although it's like that, but you don't have to..."

  "It has to be this way, I did it on purpose!"

  "What? Are you doing this on purpose?" Ma Feifei was stunned, staring at Shi Dong, wondering if this brother had gone crazy.

  Shi Dong slowly raised his face, his eyes gazing into the distance as if looking out at the future. He spoke slowly: "If I hadn't met Master before, perhaps I would have endured what just happened by pretending to be stupid and ignorant. But after meeting Master, I understood a truth... Mo Xie Men selects disciples not from among those who are mediocre and only know how to nod in agreement, but rather from among those who are bold and daring, with extraordinary abilities."

  Lei Huang is now striving to become such a person, he is working hard to accumulate prestige, so that everyone can provide resources and assistance for his cultivation. In this way, in three years, he will have an absolute advantage, defeat all people, and become the master's direct disciple with a clear conscience.

  So... we must challenge him from now on, ruin his reputation, disturb his mind and make him become restless and unable to focus on his cultivation!

  Mao Feifei was shocked and opened her mouth, after a while, she blurted out: "Why... why do you have to do this? Can't we just let him become the first place, and we cultivate our own, isn't that okay?"

  "No way!" Shi shook his head, looked around, and walked to a quiet place with Fei Fei. He said seriously: "Big brother, there are some things that I was originally confused about, but just now when I saw Master, it suddenly became clear."

  "Brother, what's going on?"

  "Do you know? Just now, my master had me engage in a martial arts match with his puppet person. I was lucky enough to knock it down, but I also spoke out of turn. Not only did Master not scold me, he even gave me a reward. Can you guess why?"

  "Cough, this shows that Master he is a reasonable person, your unintentional mistake, he can't blame you for it, I've told you this before."

  "No, I asked him why. He said that the Mo Family has two door rules: first, do not deceive or betray one's master and ancestors; second, do not harm fellow disciples. I have not violated either of them, so it is not right to punish me. Do you understand what he means now?"

  "What's the meaning? I don't understand! Hey, younger brother, stop beating around the bush and tell your older brother quickly!" Ma Feifei scratched his head, looking completely perplexed.

  Shi Dong looked at him, lowering his voice: "Master is hinting to me that the selection criteria for Mo Xie Men's disciples are based on ability, everyone relies on their own skills to compete, whoever can fight to the top will survive. While those in the middle and lower streams will gradually lack cultivation resources and eventually be eliminated."

  "Think about it, isn't it that those with good qualifications and diligent cultivation will be favored by the master and receive some rewards? While those with poor qualifications and unremarkable cultivation won't get anything, and in the end can only be expelled from the sect?"

  Mao Feifei thought back to the days since he entered Mo Xie Men, and indeed it was just as Shi Dong had said. When he met his master, he received praise from his master, who pointed out the control of the spiritual ghost, seemingly showing some favor towards him, and couldn't help but nod silently.

  Shi Dong saw him nod, stretched out two fingers, and emphasized: "Big brother, listen carefully, the master's hint about the bottom line of contention is... two door rules. As long as you don't violate it, no matter how the disciples fight among themselves, even to the death, the master won't ask."

  "Th...th..." Mao Feifei was tongue-tied and completely speechless, stunned by Shi Dong's words.

  "Big brother, Master just told me with his eyes - the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you'll retreat. Everyone should rely on their own abilities to fight for the top spot. Since we can't submit to Lei Huan and become a mediocre or inferior disciple, let's go all out and have a fierce battle! Let everyone rely on their own abilities to compete for the top spot and become Master's direct disciple! How about it?"

  As soon as this was said, Mao Feifei was shocked beyond measure, and Zhang's big mouth stared at Shi Dong, as if he didn't recognize his own brother. He had never thought that this guy, who was usually carefree and seemed to not take anything seriously, and had only barely broken through the first layer of Qi Refining, would suddenly come up with such an ambitious goal.

  He stared at Shi Dong, looking left and right, although the goal of becoming a personal disciple was unthinkable, but for some reason, the power emanating from Shi Dong's heart made Mao Fei feel that this goal would definitely be achieved. Moreover, this brother is not a mediocre person, and one day he will soar to great heights.

  He burst out laughing with a wide open mouth.

  Shi Dong also burst out laughing, and suddenly clenched his fists, with two burning flames in his eyes. "Big brother, we can't decide our own birth, you're the son of a blacksmith, I'm just a small servant at a tea house. But what we can decide is our future! Are you willing to join me, your little brother, in this demonic gate and fight for a great future, trampling those who mock us under our feet?"

  Mao Feifei's face gradually lost its shock, replaced by surging hot blood. He clenched his fists and let out a loud shout: "Alright! Brother, I'll listen to you! Let's turn over the small pot and fight for a great future! Haha, let those petty people see that we, who come from humble beginnings, are no worse than them!"

  Shi Dong gazed at such a good brother who was as close as liver and gallbladder, with heroic spirit soaring to the sky, and suddenly his whole body was boiling with hot blood.

  Since leaving his master, he has been pondering in his heart the seemingly contradictory words and actions of his master, wondering what he was hinting at. After experiencing Bai Jin's hypocritical kindness and Lei Huang's overbearing humiliation, the fire in his heart suddenly erupted.

  I finally understand what Master's expectations for us disciples are!

  He simply pretended to be silly and ridiculed Lei Hu for a while, making him lose face greatly. When he saw the old servant who accompanied his master appear and disperse everyone, he felt that perhaps his master was sitting in the back, laughing and enjoying the commotion among his disciples.

  Later, Lei Huan caught up and forced Zhu Ke'er to take the lead. He took the opportunity to show off again, this time making Lei Huan suffer even more. The slap that Zhu Ke'er gave him was so severe that Lei Huan probably wouldn't be in the mood to practice for several days.

  "Hmm!" He flashed a glance, secretly thinking: "Since he has already declared war on Lei Huang, he will definitely not give up easily! Next time it's going to be a head-on collision. Strength, strength, this is the key to determining victory or defeat!"

  He reached into the storage waistband, where a large amount of Dan medicine and Ling stones were stored, as well as the puppet person, body tempering technique, and even the Invisibility Talisman that Master had given him, all of which were his reliance for rapid rise.

  His gaze fell on Mao Feifei again, thinking: "With Big Brother's help, if I really want to fight Ray to the death, I'm not afraid of him!"

  It's just that one's own cultivation is still a bit low, if you can quickly raise it to the second layer of Qi Refining, and then capture another Ling Ghost, that would be perfect.

  Looking back in the direction of his master's cave, Shi Dong asked silently: "Master, what is the meaning of your actions?"

  For some reason, I always feel that the Moxie Gate is secretly surging, and there will be great things happening in the future. Zhou De's warning is not a vain word. What can be done now is to seize every opportunity to quickly improve strength, so as to protect oneself.
