They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent - They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent chapter 48

These words stunned both Master Yuehua and Ye Kai; neither had expected Lin Mo to refuse.

And the reason for refusal was so far-fetched.

Even though Lin Mo was not a sword cultivator and was not too skilled with a sword, having a decent quality spiritual sword was always better than none.

How could it be of no use?

To know, to so bluntly refuse a gift from an elder, it could be said to be extremely disrespectful.

A flicker of astonishment crossed Master Yuehua’s eyes as she stared at her eldest disciple for a long time. Seeing that he was truly not feigning reluctance, the expression beneath her veil also turned somewhat ugly.

Such a good opportunity, how could Ye Kai not seize the moment?

“Senior brother Lin, Master has bestowed such a fine sword upon you, isn’t your attitude a bit too much?”

Between the lines, it was clear that Lin Mo was oblivious to his fortune.

Master Yuehua’s brows were furrowed with seriousness, yet her tone still revealed gentleness: “Mo’er, I admit that I have indeed neglected and treated you thinly these years, but as a Golden Core, if you don’t have a decent weapon, it would be laughable to the other Golden Core cultivators in the sect.”

Such sweet words, but isn’t she just afraid of losing face?

“I do have a decent sword of my own.”

Lin Mo summoned the Liuli Sword, holding it in his hand.

The Liuli Sword was a thin sword, snow-white throughout, with the blade gleaming with a rainbow-like luster, as beautiful as its name suggested, like colored glaze.

Upon seeing it, Master Yuehua knew that this sword was of even better quality than her own Ziqing sword.

Perhaps, it was already a treasure-quality spiritual sword…

Indeed, her own offering had been a bit too face-losing.

No wonder Lin Mo could so crisply and neatly say ‘I have no use for it’.

Ye Kai, standing to the side, caught the look in Master Yuehua’s eyes and knew that this sword was even better than the Ziqing Sword.

This infuriated him. It was bad enough that the women around him preferred Lin Mo, but to have such luck on top of that, acquiring so many treasures like the Xuanbing Fruit and all sorts of rare spiritual plants, and now this exceptional sword.

Is fate really this unfair?

“If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave!”

As Lin Mo turned to leave, Master Yuehua called out to him, “Mo’er…”

After what seemed like a long struggle, she finally spoke, “About what happened with Yuan Li, it was my fault. I owe you an apology.”

Lin Mo said nothing, just glanced at Ye Kai.

Ye Kai understood Lin Mo’s meaning all too well, his face turning an ugly shade.

But seeing Master Yuehua lower her pride to apologize to Lin Mo first, he had no choice but to bow and apologize, “Brother Lin, the fault is mine. I asked our master to forgive Yuan Li. Please don’t hold a grudge against our master because of this.”

Their ability to play off each other was indeed impressive.

“Brother Lin has always been magnanimous. Surely, he wouldn’t harbor any resentment towards our master over such a trifle, let alone neglect the entire Qingzhu Peak.”

Heh, Ye Kai sure had a way with words.

It was clearly his own issue, yet he shifted the blame onto Lin Mo. If Lin Mo were to ignore the spiritual fields in the back mountain, wouldn’t that make him petty?

Lin Mo stared coldly at Ye Kai, “If Brother Ye thinks forgiving Yuan Li is such a trivial matter, why don’t you take care of Yuan Li’s mess yourself?”

Ye Kai still put on a brave front, “If I had Brother Lin’s abilities, I would certainly resolve the issues with the spiritual fields, tirelessly serving everyone on Qingzhu Peak.”

Oh, it seems I’ve been morally kidnapped in the world of cultivation!

Truly shameless.

Lin Mo wasn’t in a hurry, instead questioning Master Yuehua, “Do you agree with what Brother Ye said?”

Master Yuehua was at a loss for words, feeling something off about the statement but unable to pinpoint the issue.

She could only say, “Your Brother Ye indeed means well, but he truly is powerless.”

Very well, then.

Her words still sided with Ye Kai.

Lin Mo clapped his hands, laughing, “Brother Ye, you really are outstanding. Don’t be too quick to admit your incompetence. In my view, you’re capable of restoring the spiritual fields.”

Ye Kai, puzzled, said, “I’m half a cripple, what can I do?”

Master Yuehua was also curious.

Lin Mo continued, “I’ve looked into the issues with the spiritual fields in the back mountain, and there indeed is a way to fix them. Brother Ye, you’re a man who dares to act and take responsibility. Now that you’ve admitted your mistake, are you capable of taking on the task alone?”

Ye Kai affirmed, “If I’m capable, I will certainly take on the responsibility alone!”

Lin Mo smiled again, a smile that felt unsettling to Ye Kai.

But thinking about his own inability to fix the spiritual fields, his confidence grew.

What Lin Mo was waiting for was Ye Kai’s very words, “A hundred miles away, there’s a spiritual spring, and the soil around it is perfect for cultivating spiritual rice. Since Brother Ye has the spirit of ‘one who acts is one who bears,’ then please, take it upon yourself to transport that soil back to the back mountain.”

“As the eldest disciple of Qingzhu Peak, it’s only natural that I lend a hand with the transfer of the remaining land.”

A countermove.

Ye Kai was dumbfounded.

The spiritual fields on the back mountain spanned hundreds of acres.

To have him transport it back and forth alone, when would that end? It would surely work him to death!

Subconsciously, Ye Kai sought help from Yuehua.

But Lin Mo spoke first, addressing Yuehua, “Master, you wouldn’t intervene in the matters that Junior Brother Ye is capable of handling for Qingzhu Peak, would you?”

“After all, he did say that if he’s capable, he would shoulder it alone.”

Yuehua wanted to say something…

But it ended in a helpless sigh.

Lin Mo had made it clear, and she really couldn’t help.

If she showed favoritism in front of her own disciple, it would truly break his heart.

If Lin Mo knew Yuehua’s final thoughts, he would just shrug and say, “You could favor the original owner with a golden pill, why fear this?”

“Oh, by the way!” Lin Mo didn’t forget to remind, “Everyone at Qingzhu Peak can’t eat now. Until the new spiritual rice is harvested, you’re responsible for that too.”

Ye Kai’s face darkened, “I don’t have any spirit stones!”

Without spirit stones, how could he be responsible?

Lin Mo pointed to the sword Yuehua had just given him, “Sell this sword, and it should be enough to feed all the disciples of Qingzhu Peak for a month.”

“I can lend you the rest!”

Finally, Ye Kai couldn’t hold back, “That was given to me by Master, how could I sell it?”

Lin Mo said with a light smile, “It’s precisely because Master gave it to you, that you can sell it.”

“Would you really value this external object over the well-being of everyone at Qingzhu Peak, who are going hungry and cold?”

“You did say in front of Master, with your own words, that if you’re capable, you would take on the responsibility.”

Fuming with anger, Ye Kai felt dizzy and overwhelmed, but he had no rebuttal.

Master Yuehua could only watch helplessly…

Although she was displeased with Lin Mo’s suggestion to sell the spiritual sword she had just gifted, her disciple’s words were indeed reasonable.

She roughly calculated the food expenses and salaries needed by the disciples of Qingzhu Peak for the next few months.

From noble mtl dot nete

In the end, Lin Mo took out 150,000 spirit stones and gave them to Master Yuehua, “This sum of spirit stones, please distribute it, Master.”

This move also served to protect a bit of Master Yuehua’s dignity.

With her distributing the money, the disciples wouldn’t feel that their Master couldn’t even afford to pay their salaries.

Master Yuehua felt grateful in her heart, “Mo’er, after giving out these spirit stones, will you have enough for yourself?”

Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, “If there’s no need to subsidize Qingzhu Peak, it’s barely enough.”

As he spoke, he ‘accidentally’ revealed the spirit stones inside his storage bag.

The two were instantly dumbfounded. They took a rough count and estimated that there were at least a few million spirit stones in Lin Mo’s storage ring.

Is that what you call barely enough?
