Along the way down the mountain, Shang Zifeng and the rest met a lot of disciples that had the same period of cultivation as them.
After all, these people all went up to the Yuxu Peak together, signed up together, and participated in the exam together. They had become more familiar with each other recently, so they were all very friendly after meeting each other.
As they were only at the beginning of Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation, they were unable to fly on their swords, so they could only walk towards their destination.
They walked and chatted along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Only Shang Zifeng's side was cold and quiet, and the three people walking together with him were Shang Zifeng, Shang Ziyu, and Yao Shuang.
From time to time, Shang Ziyu's small eyes turned towards Su Jingqi. Seeing that so many people were surrounding him, he felt sour in his heart, and felt indignant when she spoke.
"Second brother, look at how arrogant Su Jingqi and Du Ze are. They are almost floating!"
Why was Su Jingqi and Du Ze so popular, yet not only was they not treated favorably, no matter where they went, they would still be looked down upon!
Even that bastard Huangfu Zhazha had a bunch of people by his side, asking for his warmth with concern. They truly didn't know how this world had become so unbearable!
How could Shang Zifeng not know what Shang Ziyu was thinking? Just as he was about to reprimand his third brother, Yao Shuang surprisingly imitated Shang Zifeng and gave him a blow on the head first. "What, with Big Brother Dongfang by your side, do you think it's not enough?"
At first, Shang Ziyu thought that Second Brother slapped his head again, but when he heard Yao Shuang's voice, he finally realised that he had been beaten up by Big Brother Dongfang.
This time, Shang Ziyu felt even more wronged, and thought: Now even the Big Brother Dongfang has learnt to spank his head, his life is really too bitter!
"Big Brother Dongfang, I didn't mean it that way. I meant why are they always so popular, and why are we like abandoned children that no one sees fit to take notice of?"
The grievance in his voice was a complete defeat.
Yao Shuang looked at Shang Ziyu's disappointed appearance, and said sternly: "Be good to yourself, your current predicament does not mean anything! As long as you pass the examination and successfully become a disciple of the Yuxu Sect, after that, you will learn how to talk to them using your true strength, defeat those who look down on you and make them look at you in a new light, and then you will be able to look down on them and sweep away your previous predicament! The world was like this today. The strong preyed on the weak, and the strong ruled over the weak! If you don't have the strength, no matter how upright your character is, no one will pay attention to you. Once you have the ability to walk the world unchallenged, even if you kill countless people, as long as you wave your hand, you can rule the world and make everyone follow you! Zi Yu, remember Big Brother Dongfang's words. One can never have a kind heart, one can never have a bottom line, but one must have courage! It was a type of courage that made people tremble! With courage, you will have the capital to establish yourself in troubled times! In this world of great struggle, courage was very important! And what you lack right now is this kind of courage, do you understand? "
Shang Zifeng raised his eyes and looked deep into Yao Shuang's eyes.
The words Yao Shuang had said earlier had caused him to deeply perceive that kind of domineering aura from Yao Shuang's body.
This kind of domineering aura, only people who had experienced countless battles would have one, and her father Shang Jinghuan had this kind of aura.
However, what surprised Shang Zifeng was that even though his father was once a great general who killed countless people, he did not have a domineering attitude like Yao Shuang.
Shang Zifeng could not help but be secretly shocked, becoming more and more curious about Yao Shuang.
From the time he had entered the Yuxu Peak until now, there had always been a question weighing down on his heart, causing him to feel very uncomfortable.
But he also knew that once he asked this question, there would be a barrier between him and Yao Shuang. He didn't want to ruin the current atmosphere, so he kept this question deeply buried in his heart.
If Yao Shuang had not helped him before, Shang Zifeng would definitely not be this close to Yao Shuang.
After all, the reason he brought his third brother away from home was to learn his abilities and not to get involved in other people's grudges for no reason.
Yao Shuang felt Shang Zifeng's gaze on him, and her heart tightened.
She had only casually said what she had said just now, but did not expect it to arouse Shang Zifeng's suspicions. She could not help but exclaim at Shang Zifeng's acute senses, but she did not reveal it on the surface, and it was extremely light.
Shang Ziyu did not think that far, he heard all of Yao Shuang's words and approved deeply.
He secretly made up his mind. He must improve his own strength and use it to conquer them.
Since he was young, second brother had always protected him from any harm, so in the future, he would protect second brother.
In the future, no matter who mocked his second brother, he would make that person suffer. He would let them know that his second brother was not someone who could be laughed at or trampled on by anyone!
Looking at the resolute expression in his third brother's eyes, Shang Zifeng couldn't help but nod his head.
Since he was young, his third brother's personality was always weak. If during his time in Yuxu Sect cultivation, he could improve his mentality, make him stronger, and bring his talent to its limits, then he wouldn't lose out in this trip.
As he thought about it, Shang Zifeng started to self-deprecate in his heart. The names of "half a year old", "hedonistic young master", "little white", and "trash" appeared in his mind one after another, causing Shang Zifeng's expression to darken.
His hand gripped the white jade pendant on his waist, and his eyes became hazy.
Yao Shuang looked at Shang Zifeng and sighed, then encouraged: "No matter what others say, Zi Yu and I will stand by your side, we believe that you can do it!"
Shang Zifeng glanced back at him and faintly smiled. He did not say anything, but he was feeling gratified in his heart.
It turned out that besides his third brother, there was another person who was willing to believe in him.
He could see the sincerity in Yao Shuang's eyes, and he knew that Yao Shuang did not lie to him; that was from the bottom of her heart.
Halfway through the road, a burst of noise suddenly came from the front.
Looking ahead, there were over a hundred people holding torches, surrounding a village entrance, as if they were clamoring about something.
Inside the village on the dirt road, dozens of coffins stood, white drapes lined every corner of the village.
As for the villagers, they all wore mourning garments. They gathered at the village entrance and stood in confrontation with the villagers.
The gentle breeze blew the white curtain high up into the sky, and the dark paper was filled with dense Yin Qi.
From the looks of it, one side was trying to leave the village while the other side was preventing the other side from leaving.
In short, both sides were at odds with each other, neither side backing down.
"Second brother, what happened in front?"
Shang Ziyu asked.
Shang Zifeng squinted his eyes and looked around, then raised his head and looked up at the sky. In the daytime, what were they doing holding torches?
The mouths and noses of these people were tightly sealed, as if they were all nervous about something.
Beside each of them was a wooden bucket that was as tall as a person's leg. There were more than a hundred barrels, and it was unknown what was inside.
Suddenly, Shang Zifeng had a bad premonition, he immediately said: "Let's go up and take a look."
Yao Shuang's face was also grave, from the looks of it, the conflict in front of him was not small.
Thus, they all headed towards the village entrance.
Seeing that, Su Jingqi, Du Ze and the hundred other disciples who came together with them also walked towards the entrance of the village, wanting to see what was going on.
All of a sudden, the entire village was filled with people. Those who didn't know what was going on were all walking towards the entrance of the village.
Because there were too many people at the entrance of the village, Shang Zifeng and the rest found it difficult to squeeze through.
Although they were a hundred meters away from the village entrance, they could clearly hear the conversation between the two parties.
A middle-aged man holding a torch took a step forward and fiercely pointed at the old man who was standing in front of him at the entrance of the village. "Patriarch Jing, if it's a normal day where someone from your village dies, I don't care. However, your Jingjia Village has been wreaking havoc recently, even if all of you acted as if nothing had happened, who knows if you were infected or not? If I really let you leave your village and the plague spread to my village, then I would become the sinner of the Heiming Village for all eternity. "
