After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 563 Sadness? Impossible

Seeing her actions, Luo Jin's lips twitched, and the two men in black were also at a loss for words.

Was this chubby little girl really the one their hall master fancied? What for? Her youth? Or her penchant for acting spoiled?

Zhouzhou paid them no mind. Smiling, she tucked away the copper coins, patted Luo Jin's shoulder, and signaled for them to make way.

Luo Jin, who always disliked the Enforcer Hall members, couldn't be bothered with their nonsense and simply lifted his leg to leave.

But after taking just two steps, a weak voice sounded behind him, "A'Jin..."

Luo Jin's eyelids trembled slightly, but he did not turn around.

Zhouzhou looked back and saw Qingyang being supported by two Taoists, almost devoid of strength, his thin frame leaning against them, trembling as he walked.

She shook her head, thinking that if he had known it would come to this, he wouldn't have acted as he did before.

"A'Jin." Seeing him about to leave, Qingyang hurriedly tried to catch up, forgetting his own frailty, and stumbled forward.

Fortunately, the two Taoists quickly caught him, preventing him from falling flat on the ground.

Even so, he was half-collapsed on the ground, desperately trying to reach Luo Jin, his eyes filled with a sorrowful urgency.

Zhouzhou turned to Luo Jin and whispered in his ear, "Brother Fox, if something happens to him today, will he blame us?"

The people in this Taoist temple seemed quite unreasonable. She couldn't afford to suffer any losses.

Thinking this, Zhouzhou immediately struggled out of his embrace, lay down on the ground, and clutched her heart, her eyes fixed on Qingyang's direction. If they dared to say anything, she would shout at once.

Seeing this, Luo Jin's mouth twitched again. He couldn't fathom what went on in her little head all day. He lifted her up and turned to face Qingyang, his expression much calmer.

"What do you want?" he asked coolly.

Qingyang looked at him, his lips trembling, and asked, "Was it really not you who made the Luck Change Talisman back then?"

The Law Enforcer Hall members: "..."

Polite, but not too much. She asked them to do the work and called them Uncle Foolish. Was that appropriate? Remembering Wen Jing's protectiveness, they dared not voice their complaints, fearing she'd report them.

Swallowing their frustration, their gaze turned fierce as they looked at Shouren. It was all his fault. If not for his misdeeds, they wouldn't be here.

Without giving him a chance to argue, they searched further, finding several bank cards with amounts far beyond a Taoist's means.

Now Qingyang understood the truth. The talismans were not Luo Jin's work, but Shouren had used them! He had wronged Luo Jin all those years ago.

Trembling, he looked at Shouren with pained eyes, "Why? Why did you do it?"

He had always thought Shouren was a good child, respectful and caring towards his junior disciples.

He had even considered passing the position of temple master to him. Though his abilities were lacking, he seemed honest. But now, it felt like a slap to the face.

What honesty? It was all a joke! He had calculated against his fellow disciples and framed Luo Jin!

Seeing the truth exposed, Shouren let out a low, mad laugh, his dark nature fully revealed. He no longer pretended.

"Why? You ask why? Why should he have more talent than me? Why should he learn faster? I was the first to join this temple!"

What twisted logic! Just because Luo Jin was more talented, he had to harm him?

For a moment, Qingyang felt he was seeing Shouren for the first time, unable to believe his own eyes. Slowly, his eyes filled with disappointment as he turned to apologize to his little disciple.

"Sorry..." he began, but his voice trailed off abruptly.

Zhouzhou had somehow dragged Luo Jin to sit under a tree. The two of them, one big and one small, leaned against the tree, legs crossed, leisurely cracking melon seeds.

Zhouzhou then pulled out a large watermelon from her bag, split it with a hand chop, and gave half to Luo Jin.

Their faces sticky with watermelon juice, they looked completely at ease, like they were on vacation. Noticing his gaze, Zhouzhou looked over.

Remembering the business at hand, she quickly swallowed her watermelon, tugged at Luo Jin's arm, and said slyly, "Brother Fox, you weren't lying. Someone really is jealous of you."
