After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

Lin Mu had a faint smile on his face, making it difficult for others to discern his thoughts.

He didn't respond to Lu Bai, but instead glanced at Wang Dong first, then turned to Hang Qingyue and asked, "Qingyue, what do you think?"

Hang Qingyue patted the Spirit Cat in her arms and said, "I'll listen to Senior Brother Lin."

Lu Bai sneered inwardly!

He thought she was a goddess, but it turns out she's just a cup of green tea.

What is Hang Qingyue planning? How could Lu Bai not understand?

It's normal for a righteous person not to take ill-gotten gains. But since Hang Qingyue didn't outright refuse, that means... she wants it!

If she wants it, she should just say so. Lu Bai may hate it, but he won't look down on her.

And now, what does it mean to be both when it comes to Hang Qingyue?

Pretending to be obedient and passing the buck to Second Senior Brother, who doesn't know that he likes you? How could he not go along with you?

Lin Mu's face showed a touch of relief!

He said with great emotion, "I knew it, Qingyue listens to me the most!"

Hang Qingyue blushed and smiled shyly at him.

"Good! Then I will make the decision on this matter!"

Lin Mu raised his voice and said, "This piece of spiritual gold was found by my Fourth Junior Brother alone, so the contribution points should belong to him alone!"

Lu Bai was stunned!

Based on Second Senior Brother's attitude just now, he was already prepared to make a sacrifice.

But he didn't expect Second Senior Brother to stand up for him.

Is this still the bootlicker I know?

Hang Qingyue and the others had a gloomy expression.

But out of respect for Lin Mu's authority, they didn't dare to argue. Besides, they had already said they would listen to him earlier, so it wouldn't be good to change their minds now.

Just then, Lin Mu took a deep breath and said:

"But!"

Hmm? A twist?

Everyone became interested immediately.

Lu Bai's heart skipped a beat when he heard those two words.

It's over!

But what follows those words is usually not something good.

Hang Qingyue was momentarily surprised, then quickly regained her smile. She glanced at Lin Mu with a hint of reproach, as if saying... you naughty!

The others on Qiuyue Peak immediately had a change in their expressions.

Lin Mu continued, "But my Fourth Junior Brother is kind-hearted and can't bear to see Qingyue return empty-handed, so he has decided to give her one thousand contribution points!"

Ha!

Lu Bai pursed his lips, unable to escape this blow after all.

Hang Qingyue smiled! She looked at Lin Mu affectionately.

As for Wang Dong and the others, they glanced proudly at Lu Bai.

The onlookers shook their heads one after another.

This Lin Mu really can't resist Hang Qingyue's charm. He even deceived his fellow junior brother. He's truly despicable!

But at this moment, Lin Mu suddenly spoke again, throwing out a sentence:

"However!"

What? Another twist?

Everyone was speechless and listened intently once again.

Lu Bai and Hang Qingyue furrowed their brows.

What's going on?

Can't you just say everything at once?

They decided that no matter what Lin Mu says next, they won't easily reveal their true feelings again, so as not to waste their expressions.

Lin Mu cleared his throat and continued, "However, Qingyue is a person of integrity and detachment. How could she possibly want it?"

"Furthermore!"

This time, Lin Mu didn't hold his breath anymore and immediately said, "Even as a senior sister, if she has the means, she would be willing to help her junior brothers. So, Xiao Bai, don't worry, Qingyue won't ask you for any contributions."

"Uh! I'm not worried!"

Lu Bai earnestly praised, "Hang, senior sister, is truly an exemplary figure for us! I am willing to give her one hundred points as a token of my appreciation."

Phew! Phew!

Hang Qingyue's face turned pale and her chest heaved violently, making it difficult for Spirit Cat to catch her breath.

One hundred points, is it an insult?

"I'm tired! I'm going back to rest." After speaking, she left gracefully.

Wang Dong and the others couldn't bear to stay any longer and quickly followed suit.

The onlookers who were left saw that the show was over and also prepared to leave.

At this moment, Lin Mu suddenly said coldly, "From now on, anyone who thinks Lu Bai is easy to bully and wants to take advantage of him, should first ask me, Lin Mu, if I agree or not."

"If I can't handle it, there's always my master. Don't blame her for losing her temper!"

When Su Tingyu was mentioned, everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks.

She was a lawless woman!

She couldn't tolerate any nonsense. Even for trivial matters, she would fight with other peak masters, sometimes even disregarding the sect master's authority. She was one of the people in the entire Clear Heaven Sect that everyone recognized as untouchable.

It was said that she doted on Lu Bai very much. If she found out that someone was trying to take his contribution points...

Hiss! The consequences were unimaginable!

Everyone quickly slipped away, feeling embarrassed.

Only Lu Bai, Lin Mu, and Pei Changyong remained in the hall.

"Can we settle now?" Lu Bai smiled ambiguously at Pei Changyong.

Pei Changyong was not embarrassed either and calmly said, "It's the same as last time, the contribution points will be credited to your name, and the Spirit Stones can be collected from the Duty Hall. You have accumulated fifty-three thousand pieces so far."

"Good!"

After finishing up, Lu Bai and Lin Mu came out of the settlement hall. Lu Bai apologized with a hint of guilt, "Sorry, Second Senior Brother, for causing a rift between you and Hang, senior sister."

Lin Mu waved his hand, "It's okay."

"I thought Second Senior Brother would let me take away a thousand points, but I didn't expect... hehe!"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"No!" Lu Bai smiled.

Second Senior Brother was a principled and domineering bootlicker, case closed!

"What about you and Hang, senior sister..."

"Don't worry, a little coaxing will be enough."

You mean a little licking? Lu Bai thought to himself.

Then, he hesitated and said, "It's not that I'm instigating trouble, but I feel that Hang, senior sister is not worthy of you. Why do you have such deep feelings for her?"

"What aspect is she not worthy of?"

"Her character!" Lu Bai blurted out without reservation.

"Oh! That's okay! I appreciate her appearance."

So shallow? Lu Bai was stunned.

He didn't expect that Second Senior Brother was not only a bootlicker but also a looks-oriented person.

Lu Bai had a premonition that he and Hang Qingyue probably wouldn't have a good outcome. If they wanted to last, they needed to have a certain degree of resonance in terms of temperament, interests, and more. Relying solely on appearance was far from enough.

"Xiao Bai, from now on, you should rest at the stronghold for a while!" Lin Mu suddenly said.

"Oh?" Lu Bai's mind was sharp, immediately understanding what he meant.

"Are you saying that someone might harm me?"

"Just as a precaution!"

"You have been in the limelight recently, finding two big treasures in a short period of time, especially the Earth Spirit Gold, which is invaluable. In the eyes of outsiders, you are a walking mine. Controlling you means controlling wealth, understand?"

After listening, Lu Bai couldn't help but resentfully glance at Lin Mu. If it weren't for your big mouth, would the situation be like this now?

However, he quickly realized that even if he quietly settled with Pei Changyong, it would be impossible to keep it completely secret.

At least, he couldn't bypass Pei Changyong. Did he not have any greed? Or would he tell others about the news?

"Alright! I will hide for a while. It's also a bit tired."

Lu Bai applied for a room and entered into seclusion for cultivation.
