Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Chapter 141 Rub 1 meal

Jiang Tingwan was still immersed in the shock of being exposed, but Shen Zhui beside him had already stood up and took out an exquisite box.

"The box of bone-replenishing and heart-calming pills was originally given to you by the Cangyu Sect, but you used it to save my junior brother. I and I are grateful. This Guiyuan Pill is the highest-grade healing medicine of Xuantian Pavilion. It can gather qi and calm the soul, and treat both the inside and the outside. Consider it a thank-you gift from Shen Zhui."

Jiang Tingwan took the medicine box in a daze. When she looked up, Shen Zhui thanked her solemnly and turned away before her.

Looking at his back, Jiang Tingwan couldn't tell whether he was more shocked or relieved.

What is shocking is that so many people have discovered her identity, but what is fortunate is that she is still alive today even though so many people have discovered her identity?

What shocked her even more the next moment was that after she walked out of the teahouse, she saw several familiar people on the other side of the street who seemed to have been standing there for a long time.

When he saw Jiang Tingwan coming out, he bowed from a distance.

"Why are you guys not staying in the inn to rest? Why don't you come out here?" Jiang Tingwan walked over and said, looking stern.

Lin Shuyu scratched his head guiltily, and glanced at one place, "Uncle Master, calm down. We are not the only ones who don't listen to you."

Jiang Tingwan turned around following his voice and looked at the tea stall on the street, where there was actually a Mu Yunzhong sitting.

"You are so badly injured, why did you come out?" she asked subconsciously.

"Uncle Master, don't blame me. We were the ones who brought Senior Brother Mu out."

Mu Yun didn't answer in the end, but Mo Shaoyang spoke first, causing Lin Shuyu to glance at him. He gritted his teeth and reminded him in a low voice: "Third Uncle treats Junior Brother Mu as his own son now, which is different from the past. He will definitely not blame you, so don't rush to acknowledge him."

Hearing this, Mo Shaoyang raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Tingwan's expression, not seeing any sign of relief, and felt worried.

As the elder brother, Mo Shaoyu stood up and said, "Uncle Master, please don't blame me. I was the disciple who brought them out..."

Before he could finish his words, Meng Ziyuan interrupted him, “It’s me!”

As he said this, he rolled his eyes at the three of them and said, "You have the nerve to say this, but do you think it's cool to snatch it away?"

Jiang Tingwan, who was already confused by the three of them, nodded in agreement after hearing what they said, and then looked at him to listen to his explanation.

Unexpectedly, Meng Ziyuan held his chin high, looking calm and composed, "I brought them out for dinner, so if you want to blame someone, blame me."

After hearing this explanation, Jiang Tingwan was so shocked that his jaw dropped. When did the style of the four of them become like this?

Is it because of the free meal I got?

She didn't know how to start, and even found it a little funny. She scratched her forehead awkwardly with her fingers, turned around and looked at Mu Yunzhong who was sitting on the bench, "You came out because of this too?"

The person opposite frowned subconsciously. Although his eyes were dark, Jiang Tingwan saw a roll of the eyes and a hint of inexplicable resentment, which reminded her of the atmosphere when she was applying medicine to him in the room just now.

She could only turn around quickly, forced out an awkward smile and laughed at everyone: "Isn't it just eating? What's so strange about it? Have you eaten?"

Several people shook their heads. Lin Shuyu said, "As soon as we came out, we saw Uncle Master and Senior Brother Shen meeting. We wanted to hide, but Junior Brother Mu suddenly got hurt, so we stayed with him to rest for a while."

Jiang Tingwan didn't turn around, but glanced at Mu Yunzhong next to him, nodded slightly and said, "That's great, since we're out, let's go to Xiankelai and have a good meal."

"A meal?"

Jiang Tingwan sighed, "It's just a big meal!"

After the words fell, everyone's faces lit up and they nodded one after another. Lin Shuyu hurriedly asked Mu Yunzhong who was sitting down, "Junior Brother Mu, are you feeling better now?"

Mu Yun finally nodded slightly, and Lin Shuyu stepped forward and helped him up.

The group of people went to Xiankelai with great interest. Mu Yunzhong walked beside Jiang Tingwan, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but there was Lin Shuyu who was "kindly supporting" him next to him, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Jiang Tingwan noticed that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he turned his head to look at him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Shuyu beside him, and the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

It was not until a group of six entered Xiankelai again that the waiter, who had already memorized their faces, came forward and greeted them with a smile. After all, they always ordered staple dishes and were definitely big customers of Xiankelai.

"Dear guests, what would you like to eat this time?"

Jiang Tingwan found a place to sit down and asked, "Maybe you guys can accept spirit stones?"

If she hadn't seen Shen Zhui paying just now, she wouldn't have known that spirit stones were also a circulating currency in Cangnan City, but just in case, she still wanted to confirm it.

The waiter smiled and replied enthusiastically, "Of course you can. Cangnan City is under the jurisdiction of Cangyu Sect, and there are shops that specialize in exchanging spirit stones. If many cultivators don't have money in the human world, spirit stones are also acceptable."

After hearing this, Jiang Tingwan slammed the table and said, "Okay, today, Master Uncle is treating us, you can do whatever you want, but you must make up for the lost spiritual power."

Upon hearing what Jiang Tingwan said, Lin Shuyu and the others looked at each other, not daring to show their happiness.

Seeing this, Jiang Tingwan reminded: "If you miss this village, you will miss this store!"

"Thank you, uncle master!" Lin Shuyu said first.

But the other juniors were still timid and not decisive at all.

Jiang Tingwan snorted with a heavy breath of disappointment, pointing at the sign hanging in the building, "First, a pork elbow! One braised one, one stewed one, and then Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! Ten-ingredient tonic soup, fish maw chicken, and any dishes with ginseng, deer antler, or snow lotus, bring them all up to me..."

Jiang Tingwan ordered several large dishes in a row, which frightened Lin Shuyu and the others and they hurriedly called for a stop, "Uncle Master, that's enough, that's enough."

"Yes, Master, wasting is crossing the line." Mo Shaoyang also said. He always kept in mind Jiang Tingwan's theory on the boundaries of desire.

Jiang Tingwan glanced at him with satisfaction, then looked at the other three, all of whom had the same expression and smiled with satisfaction.

It was because of this smile that Mu Yunzhong, who had been looking at her, suddenly looked gloomy, as if he saw through her smile something else about Jiang Tingwan.

"Okay, that's it for now." Jiang Tingwan stopped and the waiter happily ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"I'm glad that you remember my words. This shows that you know how to exercise restraint while satisfying your desires." Jiang Tingwan started the conversation.

Lin Shuyu replied respectfully: "Master, you are very knowledgeable and can show great principles in small matters. I, your disciples, have learned a lot from you."

At this point, Lin Shuyu remembered the task Jiang Tingwan had assigned to him before, "Oh, by the way, Master Uncle asked me to record the similarities and differences between fighting monsters and humans. I was not able to summarize anything, but I did find something strange."

Jiang Tingwan sat up straight and asked, "What's strange?"

Lin Shuyu opened his mouth and stopped, swallowed uncertainly, and didn't have the confidence to speak.

Jiang Tingwan encouraged: "Just speak up, don't be afraid of making mistakes."

Lin Shuyu then said, "Disciples have discovered that there is a large amount of medicinal power remaining in their bodies. That power is so strong that it seems like another form of golden elixir power, which can assist them in their cultivation and even promote the evolution of their meridians and bones and increase their cultivation at critical moments."

Lin Shuyu, who said this, also felt that this matter was a little incomprehensible. If he had not learned pharmacology from his master, he would not dare to come to such a conclusion.

"No wonder the Thunder Python was able to evolve suddenly during the battle. It must be because of the power of this medicine." Meng Ziyuan suddenly remembered this.

His words reminded Mo Shaoyang of the time when he went down the mountain to kill monsters and encountered the evolved monster. He suddenly realized, "This seems to be the same as the monster we encountered when we went down the mountain to kill monsters. The speed of evolution of that monster was too amazing. Could it be the same as the monster in the Colosseum?"

Lin Shuyu also exclaimed: "So this is what Uncle Master meant when he asked us to enter the beast fight. Could it be that Junior Brother Mu's injury was also sustained while investigating this matter?"

The people opposite him finished describing Jiang Tingwan's work experience over the past few days in a few words.

Jiang Tingwan nodded without denying it, and said honestly: "It is indeed my intention to let you enter the arena to fight the beasts, but it is also my intention to treat them as half-masters, to hone your mind and improve your practical skills. You will have to attend the trial conference soon, and fighting is a matter of time. There is no essential difference between fighting with people and fighting with beasts. If you can improve a little bit from this, it will not be a waste of my 300,000 spirit stones."

At this point, the three people who were about to leave lowered their heads at the same time, as if they were ashamed for not realizing some of the secrets.

Seeing this, Jiang Tingwan sighed and said in a serious tone, "You are all young and have excellent qualifications. The road ahead is long and not just this moment."

Hearing this, Mu Yun looked at her suspiciously again. Everything she said today was wrong.

The shame in Lin Shuyu's eyes deepened. As the eldest senior brother of the inner sect, he was the one with the lowest realm.

Mo Shaoyu also said unwillingly: "If only I could react faster today, I could earn back an inner pill and recover some of the losses."

Hearing what Mo Shaoyu said, Jiang Tingwan was a little amused. He was obsessed with making his investment back.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are very persistent about making back your investment."

Mo Shaoyu replied, "Uncle Master, you didn't see that. In fact, the strength of the monster today was not above mine. I fought with the monster until the end and was only one move away from subduing it, but my sword move was off by a point and it dodged. What a pity."

After hearing this, Meng Ziyuan curiously asked, "Then why don't you continue to fight?"

Mo Shaoyu replied: "At that time, my spiritual power was also depleted by half, and I remembered the reminders of Uncle Master and Junior Brother Mu. If I force it into a desperate situation, it will fight for its life. And for some reason, the Colosseum can't hear my waiver, and I might really be left behind by him."

Mo Shaoyang also took over the conversation and said, "Fortunately, brother chose to withdraw. Otherwise, according to what Senior Brother Lin just said, there are residual medicinal power in these monsters' bodies that can help them evolve at critical moments. If they are really forced into a corner, I'm afraid it will be another fierce battle."

Jiang Tingwan also said: "It seems that you have not gained nothing!"

Hearing this, the four of them turned their heads at the same time, and the waiter brought the dishes.

Jiang Tingwan was the first to pick up the chopsticks. She was stunned when she saw the look on the other side. What she meant was that although there was no progress in her cultivation, she had learned a lesson from the last time when Mo Shaoyang failed to leave in time, which was also a gain.

Jiang Tingwan smiled helplessly and explained, "Although there are many rules in this Colosseum, there is one that is very fair. You can kill it, and it can kill you, but if you are not determined to kill it, you can be the one to quit at any time. As long as you don't fight as hard as Shaoyang did last time, the Colosseum will still protect the safety of the challenger.

But as soon as she said this, it sounded different to others.

Lin Shuyu was the first to respond: "Uncle Master, what you mean is that even if you want to become stronger by fighting beasts, you don't have to think about winning or losing, let alone a life-and-death battle?"

"A truly strong person is not necessarily the winner?" Meng Ziyuan suddenly said, looking like he was about to be enlightened.

When Jiang Tingwan saw this familiar scene, his expression changed, not knowing whether he was surprised or happy. Then, when he saw the hot dishes that had just been served, he quickly interrupted the two people's contemplation, "Hey! Stop!"

"That's what I mean, but let's finish this meal first and continue to understand it when we get back."

Jiang Tingwan interrupted the spell and apologized repeatedly in his heart.

There are too many people here. If I were to have a sudden enlightenment here, I would not be able to enjoy the meal in peace. There would definitely be circles of people surrounding me.

The two nodded obediently.

"Have a meal!"

Jiang Tingwan gave the order and immediately picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for Mu Yunzhong who was closest to her. Giving Mu Yunzhong the first piece of food before a meal had become a kind of muscle memory for her.

It was with this chopstick that she finally met Mu Yun's first glance after they sat down, and there was a hint of surprise in both of their eyes.

A hint of unexpected surprise flashed across Mu Yunzhong's eyes, but Jiang Tingwan subconsciously avoided his gaze and buried his head in eating.

At the command, everyone sitting at the table immediately showed their true colors and began to eat heartily. With Jiang Tingwan, an elder, leading the way and not having to pay, even Meng Ziyuan ate wantonly and indulged himself.

Several people ate with gusto, and Jiang Tingwan unexpectedly became the most normal one.

"Junior Brother Mu, why aren't you eating?" While Lin Shuyu was wolfing down his food, he began to worry about Mu Yunzhong. He looked up and saw that he hadn't even touched his chopsticks.

"I'm not hungry." Mu Yunzhong replied indifferently, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Jiang Tingwan.

After hearing this, Lin Shuyu couldn't help but follow his gaze. She saw that Uncle Jiang was obviously avoiding Mu Yunzhong, and the more she avoided, the more determined Mu Yunzhong's eyes became, as if he wanted to see through her mind.

Lin Shuyu felt this scene was strange, and it even slowed down his eating movements.

His mind unconsciously recalled several familiar scenes, and those scenes also gave rise to an indescribable thought in his heart.

So much so that when Mu Yun finally noticed his gaze turning towards him, he was so scared that he quickly buried his head in his bowl.

Mu Yunzhong's eyebrows slightly frowned, his eyes looked at the chopsticks in front of him, and slowly lowered...
