Modern Volume Chapter 34 Repaying Virtue with Resentment

  It was Rong Hongtian who first suggested that the two of them should leave first, but she didn't object. Although she could hear Feng Zheng and Li Shiqiang's pleas, Zuo Xiaoyao still intended to insist on refusing. Just then, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside her ear, "This is okay too, Xiaoyao, you wait here for them for a moment, I'll go and come back!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, Hong Tian had already put down the backpack on his shoulder and quickly ran into the forest, as if he had an urgent matter to attend to, leaving behind the five people from T Medical University with joyful expressions and Zuo Xiao Yao who was somewhat perplexed.

  She raised her eyes to see Zuo Xiao Yao still standing there with a puzzled expression, looking in the direction where Luo Hong Tian had disappeared. Like Liu Ying Yue, she was eating a roasted fish while wiping the corner of her mouth with a napkin. Bai Xiang said somewhat disdainfully, "Don't worry, since your husband put his bag here, he'll definitely come back!"

  The term "husband" here may refer to a boyfriend or a lover. Although she didn't know why Bai Xiang suddenly targeted herself, Zuo Xiao Yao calmly replied, "A girl's family, especially should pay attention to their words and deeds, speak with respect for the facts. You eat food that others have worked hard to prepare, but you don't even thank them sincerely, how can you still have the nerve to make up stories about others?"

  It was clear that Xiao Yao's words were laced with sarcasm, and Bai Xiang's face suddenly turned bright red as she loudly exclaimed, "You... this is obviously something Ge prepared, what does it have to do with you? You dare say, can you get fish from this pond or game from those woods? Are you guilty of doing something shameful, that's why you're so nervous? Are you the home wrecker who ruined Ge's family? If you did, then just admit it..."

  "Alright, Bai Xiang, don't say anything more. We don't really understand the true relationship between Miss Xiao and Mr. Luo, so how can we casually comment on it? Miss Xiao, don't take it to heart, Little Xiang is just someone who speaks without thinking, always blurting out whatever comes to mind!"

  Liu Yingyue wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue again, and gently stopped Bai Xiang. While emphasizing the four words "true relationship", she also swept a ambiguous gaze at Zuo Xiaoyao, with complex emotions.

  She felt the obvious hostility between the two, and also heard the white bear, who had just returned to her side after going out to find food, let out a dissatisfied growl. She reached out to rub the white bear's big head, turned around and glanced at them, but saw that the other three boys from T Medical University were looking confused and hesitant. Zuo Xiao Yao simply replied indifferently, "No idea!"

  "Isn't it because she and Mr. Luo had an affair, so Mr. Luo would be so rude to you in front of her? Are you helping me vent my anger? How come you're changing your story now?"

  "You can say that, it's better if Mr. Luo is present, you're like this, don't care what I say, rest assured, after all, I promised to send you the apple, and I will definitely keep my word. I just want to see, relying on her having no education or money, what is there to be proud of in this mountain girl? Being humiliated in public, can she still continue to pretend to be noble with that hypocritical attitude?"

  Xiao Yao stood seven meters away, gazing into the forest. Bai Xiang and Liu Yingyue thought they were whispering secretly, but every word fell clearly into the ears of the person who had already released their spiritual sense.

  Arrogant? Self-righteous? Are they talking about themselves? It seems so! Zuo Xiao Yao's mouth twitched slightly, she didn't know that these two words could be used to describe herself. 'Hypocrite' she could accept, after all, having lived in the bustling metropolis for over 20 years, she had long been accustomed to wearing a gentle mask, but in this society, who among those living in the big city can still completely preserve their true nature?

  At this moment, when discussing how to deal with their own two female students, they are no different from being hypocritical. Living in a relatively simple campus, they can secretly plan to calculate an unfamiliar person like me, just because it involves unfounded suspicion, so-called face and material self-interest.

  Hongyuan Tian once said that cultivators of the truth, in addition to practicing their skills, must also pay attention to improving their mental state. If they are not careful, they may fall into madness due to defects in their mental state. This improvement of one's mental state is precisely the kind of emotional cultivation that I have come to realize is beneficial for advancing one's practice. One must often reflect on the complexities of the world and comprehend the natural order, striving to eliminate falsehoods and attain truth.

  After knowing that all this was just because she was treated coldly by Rong Hongtian, Liu Yingyue felt a bit hurt in her self-confidence. She tried to attribute the reason to herself and comfort herself. Zuo Xiaoyao only felt speechless. So, it's better to live a more down-to-earth life. If you're too spoiled, you'll lose sight of your original position. When things don't go as smoothly as you want, you'll think you've been hit and lost face. Your mentality can easily become extreme, just like greed, this is also a disease that needs to be treated!

  Even with her current state of mind, she could completely ignore the private actions of these two people. Moreover, ordinary people and cultivators were not as clearly distinguished in her heart as they were to Luo Hongtian. She didn't feel offended, but being calculated by others was already deeply detestable to her. Therefore, Zuo Xiaoyao, who flashed a hint of mockery in her eyes, did not intend to humiliate herself either. Since they didn't follow the rules that university students should abide by, they should pay some price, shouldn't they? People should be responsible for their own words and actions, let alone they were already adults!

  A gentle breeze blew over the shore of Shui Tang not long after, and Hong Tian returned to see that the last roasted chicken had just been divided and eaten by the five of them. He said with a good mood, "Since you've all finished eating, let's go."

  The five people from the medical university wanted to ask him about his previous whereabouts, but thinking that Luo Hongtian was even more difficult to talk to than Zuo Xiaoyao, they hesitated and gave up. Seeing the two men walking into the mountain forest with their bags on their backs, they could only grab their own bags and follow closely behind.

  At the same time, Zuo Xiaoyao's ear heard Rong Hongtian's transmission "Just felt a movement in the northeast direction, went to take a look, there are seven people, should be their so-called teacher and classmates, after bringing them over, we can completely let go of this matter!"

  She had lent her "wind" to some people with "diseases", thinking that through her own diagnosis and treatment, she would bring extraordinary "therapeutic" effects to their "diseases". With a good mood, Zuo Xiaoyao nodded and smiled, "I thought there must be a reason why you suddenly changed your mind. It turns out it's this. This is the best way. Your spiritual transmission technique is really practical. I hope my cultivation can break through soon and learn this too."

  "Don't worry, you've taken the Spirit Awakening Fruit and had your spiritual orifices opened ahead of time, expanding your spiritual sea. That's equivalent to passing the most difficult stage of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage. Advancing isn't a matter of if, but when..."

  "Haha, I knew you two were a pair. You still won't admit it, what's there to be embarrassed about? If your relationship wasn't good enough, how would you have come together to explore Shennongjia?"

  She suppressed her smile, turned her head to look at Bai Xiang who was pulling Liu Yingyue to hurry up and walk to their side, ignoring the other's passionate and innocent smile. Zuo Xiaoyao replied indifferently, "For an apple, you're willing to abandon your morals and conscience to slander someone? If you don't want to be left behind, then use the energy you had when you were rushing here earlier to put on a show, try hard to keep up with my and Luo brother's footsteps!"

  Just turned around and continued walking a few steps forward, but Zuo Xiao Yao suddenly turned her head back to smile at them, raised her right hand with her index finger pointing towards the sky and said "Man does, heaven sees, those who forget kindness and repay virtue with malice will suffer retribution!"

  After finishing speaking, he ignored the two women who were stunned on the spot due to her words and walked forward with Ruo Hongtian, who seemed to be thinking deeply. At the same time, Zuo Xiaoyao's ear heard his voice again "Being able to make you unable to bear to take action, they must have offended you greatly!"
