My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Panda Novel

Shu Yi was about to step to the side to take a look at that spirit field but caught sight of a man dressed in green meditating in a pile of weed not far out. It was Zuo Shuming who she’d seen previously in the hall. Her eyes dimmed instantly.

The person meditating on the other side seemed to have sensed people approaching and sobered up directly, then turned to look towards the two people at the entrance. Seeming to have recognized Steward He who was at the front, he walked over with a frown and greeted with cupped fists, “Greetings Senior Brother He, and… Senior Sister.”

Shu Yi immediately drew in her killing intent at heart and gave him a calming smile. “You are the disciple farming this land right?”

“I am!” Zuo Shuming answered, then turned towards Steward He. “Is Senior Brother He here to collect the 50 stems of spirit herbs?”

“… Sort of?” Steward He then turned his head over and looked at Zuo Shuming in shock, his breathing slightly rapid as he asked loudly, “This… this spirit field, was farmed by you!”

Zuo Shuming nodded. “I farmed it together with Junior Brother Lonemoon.”

“How could this be!” Steward He’s voice was even louder now.

Shu Yi’s gaze dimmed as a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes, as if confident that he would make things difficult for him, she immediately stepped forward with a sympathetic expression and said, “Senior Brother He, you cannot blame this Junior Brother for this, we all know this land is remote with thin Spirit Qi and still arranged for him to farm here. It was unfair in the first place, how could we expect good spirit herbs to be grown then!”

Steward He was stunned and subconsciously refuted, “No, Junior Sister Shu, I…”

“I know what you want to say!” Shu Yi cut him off with a pained look. “The rules of Gui Yi Sect has always been strict, but his circumstances are considered excusable. If you really want to press the case, I don’t mind informing my father directly and have him be the judge!”

“…” Steward He fell in a momentary daze, not knowing what to say in those moments. No, what was going on?

But Shu Yi thought that he had been stunned and suppressed. Hmph! This sect was indeed full of people who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

A shred of coldness rushed past her heart while her expression remained as she continued to step forward with a worried look and looked at Zuo Shuming opposite her. “Junior Brother, I know you’ve tried your best, but Senior Brother is right too, Gui Yi Sect has its rules. Tell you what.” She brought out a storage bag, “I happen to have a 100 stems of low-level spirit herbs here, how bout you just take it that I’m helping you to hand in the amount for this harvest?” With that said, she handed it over with a sincere expression.

Zuo Shuming: “…”

Steward He: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

The place went completely silent in an instant…

For some reason, Zuo Shuming was suddenly a little enlightened about what that word “idiot” that Brother Lonemoon often cursed during training meant.

He glanced at the bag in her hands and subconsciously took a step back, Brother Lonemoon said that idiocy was contagious.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that he wouldn’t take it, Shu Yi’s smile became even gentler and kinder. “Why don’t we take it that I’m lending this to you?”

Zuo Shuming then lifted his head to look at the female before him. His eyes filled with complexities, frowning, he struggled for moments before saying in all seriousness, “This lady… are… are you crazy?!”

“What!” Shu Yi’s hand that was holding out the bag stiffened at once.

Before she could react, she saw him turn towards Steward He beside her and continued to speak with a serious expression. “Senior Brother He, I think this Junior Sister is ill… your cultivation level is high, why don’t you help her take a look?”

He spoke very seriously, worry written all over his face, not one bit of ridicule in his words at all, instead he was truly worried about her health. “I think she has most likely injured her head.”

“What did you say!” Shu Yi broke out of her pretense directly, the gentleness and kindness on her face vanished instantly and killing intent surfaced.

Pui…

Lonemoon who had been watching the whole time finally could not hold back and laughed out loud.

“Brother Lonemoon!” Zuo Shuming was delighted and hurriedly gestured at him. “Steward He is here to collect the spirit herbs, let’s harvest this field quickly.” With that said, he turned and was about to walk into the field.

“Don’t move!” Steward He suddenly cried out, his voice so loud that it was almost cracking. Seeming to have sobered up then being clear of what to do next, he gripped Zuo Shuming tightly and said nervously, “You can’t move! I… I’ll go report to Sect Master right away. Remember this, before I return, not one spirit herb… No! Not even half can be touched, clear?”

These were variant spirit herbs, he’d never seen them in his few hundred years of managing the spirit field. Though they were low-level ones, their effectiveness were comparable to high-level spirit herbs and they were so expensive that there was no market for it. He already had no time to consider why such a piece of land could grow variant spirit herbs. He only knew that if he spoiled even one leaf, he wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.

With that said, he frantically summoned his flying sword and flew in the direction of the main peak, not forgetting to repeatedly instruct them!

“Don’t touch them, don’t ever touch them! Never ah~~~”

Zuo Shuming: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Did he have to? The weeds on the back mountain of their Invincible Sect were of higher level than these.

Whereas Shu Yi who was on the other side finally shifted her gaze to the spirit field before her and was completely stunned. She was dazed for a long time as she stared at the dense vegetation of spirit herbs. She did not know enough about spirit herbs and could not tell what these were, but judging by Steward He’s attitude earlier, she understood that not only did Zuo Shuming manage to grow the spirit herbs, he even did an especially good job.

How could this be, this was a barren land, even the Spirit Qi here was pitifully little, why was he able to grow spirit herbs? If Zuo Shuming had already grown the spirits then earlier on, wasn’t she…

Her expression darkened even more, a boundless anger surged in her heart. Zuo Shuming was indeed a despicable scum, he had already grown the spirit herbs but still watched as she would make a fool of herself. He was intentionally having a good laugh at her. In moments, the killing intent in her eyes grew deeper, as if daggers could be shot from them and stabbed right in Zuo Shuming’s direction.

Yet a certain naive fool did not receive the death stare at all, he was clueless as he lifted his head to glance in the direction that Steward He flew off in and sighed. “Seems like we have to wait till Senior Brother He returns before we can harvest the land.”

With that said, he was intending on returned to that pile of weeds to continue cultivating when something came to mind and he turned back to look at Shu Yi. “Senior Sister…”

Shu Yi did not expect that he would suddenly turn back and could not draw in her resentful expression in time. Frozen, her expression instantly looked slightly contorted and she managed to squeeze out her voice only moments later. “What’s… the problem Junior Brother?”

“The spirit field is shabby and bare, why don’t you take a rest on this pile of grass?” He glanced at the pile of weeds beside him.

Shu Yi was surprised, not expecting that he offer her that, she was about to reject but Zuo Shuming suddenly added solemnly, “After all, you look like you aren’t too well.” He even pointed to the head. “You ought to rest well.”

Shu Yi: “…”

You are the one who’s sick in the head, your whole family is sick!

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Her expression instantly twisted, I want to kill him! Kill him! Right now, immediately, right away!

[Host, calm down! He cannot die now, owner’s mission has yet to be completed!]
