Chapter Twenty-Nine: Borrowing Not Giving

Ye Chen is not in a hurry, he has built a successful foundation in just a few years, in fact, it is already very fast, and this is the completion of Jindan, and Ruhua has also stayed for several years before Ning Dan succeeds. Myself like this purely for the sake of.... Make a move. There's still a little bit of show-off caution in it. Hey, hey, hey, you see that I have built a successful foundation in three years, hey, hang or not!

In fact, Ye Chen thought about it so carefully, Chen Gongwang and they had already seen that the three-year foundation building was indeed fast, and they liked the character of their little brother quite much, so it made him feel stunned for a few days.

Ruhua took Ye Chen to wander around in this Lingxiao City, this Lingxiao City is huge, and Lingxiao Pavilion is located in the northernmost part of the city. Generally, the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion tried not to walk from the city when they went out or came back, so as not to disturb the ordinary people living in the city. However, Ye Chen came out this time to go shopping and relax, so he naturally swaggered out of the main entrance. The two of them swaggered on Lingxiao Avenue like this.

The endless stream of pedestrians and the shouting along the street once again made Ye Chen experience the breath of life that he had not seen for a long time. In the past few years, Ye Chen has basically not visited Lingxiao City except for occasionally going to the restaurant to ask for a few pots of Luchen wine. This time I went out, and I felt new to see everything.

"Why are there so many people in this city today" When Ye Chen came out in the past, there were a few pedestrians scattered on the street. Today, it is crowded with all kinds of passers-by, and along the way, there are also several inns hanging out full signs.

Ruhua looked at Ye Chen with strange eyes: "Do you really not know or are you pretending to be stupid?"

Without waiting for Ye Chen to answer, Ruhua continued to say helplessly: "Aren't you a disciple of Ling Xiao Pavilion, Ling Xiao Pavilion's ten-year apprenticeship conference will start next month, and now basically the entire Ruiyuan Star feels that people with cultivation qualifications are crowded in this city, can there not be many?"

Ye Chen recalled it carefully, as if when he was cultivating in the quiet room, Chen Gongwang had told him, and about the establishment of the entire Lingxiao Pavilion and other matters, Chen Gongwang let himself see it. It's just that for some reason, Ye Chen learned extremely fast about refining weapons and even imperial swords, and Ye Chen always forgot about these messy things.

"Have you read all the books in the dog's belly?" Ruhua looked at Ye Chen with disdain.

How do you speak? You're insulting the dog.....

"All the people from this city are here to participate in the entry selection?" Ye Chen looked at the endless crowd around him.

"Yes, basically, being able to enter Lingxiao Pavilion is equivalent to ascending to the sky in one step, and everyone wants to give it a try"

"Hey, that's the same?" Ye Chen pointed to an old man who was trembling with a cane, "This looks like the grade is almost eighty, right?!"

"Your eldest brother Chen is over seven hundred years old, what is this eighty years old, it is estimated that he lives too far away, and he didn't have time to come to Lingxiao City when he was young, and now he wants to come over to test whether he has the qualification to cultivate the truth. ”

Ye Chen thought about it for a while, cultivators could no longer be treated with the views of ordinary people, they were all a group of old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, but they really responded to the sentence on the earth, they had eaten more salt than others had eaten rice.

"Brother and sister, can you lend me a few yuan to buy steamed buns to eat?" Ye Chen and Ruhua chatted casually, and a young man in tattered clothes stopped in front of Ye Chen and begged.

Ye Chen looked down and saw that a young man dressed as a beggar was about twelve or thirteen years old standing on the street, a pair of broken shoes hanging on his feet, and he couldn't even wrap his thumb, the young man was very shy, and he didn't dare to look at the two of them directly.

"You're also here to participate in the Lingxiao Pavilion entry selection?" Ye Chen noticed that the young man was talking about borrowing, not giving.

"Well, I'm also here to participate in the selection!" The young man heard Ling Xiao Pavilion's eyes light up, raised his head and smiled at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen continued: "You just told me to borrow, so what do you use to repay me? Or what ability do you have to repay me now?"

The young man was about to cry when he heard this, anxious tears rolled in his eyes, and he still mustered up the courage to say to Ye Chen: "I have been in the city for half a month, and it is the first time I have asked someone to borrow money, and the boss in the city thinks that I am too young and does not let me work, I go outside the city every day to catch some pheasants and hares, and I can sell them for some money if I have enough to eat." It's just that in the past few days, there have been more and more people from outside the city, scaring away the pheasants and hares, and the wild boars are too big for me to catch."

The boy talked louder and louder, and finally cried aggrievedly: "I won't borrow it, brother, I'm sorry, I'm still hungry, I will definitely catch another hare tomorrow"

Ruhua looked at Ye Chen with disdain.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Ye Chen saw that he scared the boy into tears, and couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.

"I can lend you money, here is a defective spirit stone, you can exchange it for silver, enough for you to spend a month. But if you want to pay me back after a month, I don't care what method you use, a month later, I will wait for you at the door of Lingxiao Pavilion. Ye Chen threw a spirit stone to the young man, and left without waiting for the young man to answer.

"Why are you so harsh on that young man, even if you give him a spirit stone, it doesn't matter. Ruhua asked.

Ye Chen was silent for a while: "What he said was borrowing, then we can't give it directly, otherwise it will be called charity." ”

Ruhua still didn't understand a little.

"I had a very hard time when I was like this teenager, I had no father and no mother since I was a child, and I had to rely on myself for everything, and I didn't tell you that in order to survive, I had done all the tricks and abductions.

Later, I finally survived, and when I grew up, I began to have the ability to make money, and I would do some good things when I had time, but the merits and demerits did not offset each other, even if I did many good things later, the bad things I did when I was a child were done, and I don't regret doing these bad things, but I can't forgive myself for doing these bad things. ”

"Have you noticed the clear look in the boy's eyes when he looked up? This shows that he has not done anything bad to survive, no matter how hard it is, he has survived on his own. So I'm going to give him this spirit stone so that he can continue to live. He spoke of borrowing, not giving. This shows that he was born with dignity, so I want him to return it, so that he can maintain this dignity. ”

"Hmm," Ruhua nodded.

"I'm tired, don't go shopping, let's go back. Ye Chen stretched and said.

Ruhua lowered her head, didn't know what she was thinking, and walked back with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said: "Ruhua, we will be able to eat all kinds of game soon, pheasants and hares may have wild boars, haha"

"Huh, you mean the boy?"

"Yes, when he is full of food and drink, he will definitely go to the mountain cat for a month, and all the game he has collected will be given to me, and this transaction will not be a loss. ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will die in the mountains?"

"That's his own choice, how can it be so easy to be a cultivator, do you think everyone was born with a golden spoon like Li Lin? I am also a person who almost died several times on earth, besides, Li Lin was not hunted down once not long ago"

Ruhua nodded secretly.

Ye Chen suddenly smiled slyly: "I think he will definitely survive, don't you believe we make a bet?"

"Bet, yes, I'm going to bet he'll survive. "It's like a flower and a smile, so beautiful that it makes people so intoxicated.

"Hehe, Raippi, you are"

"Remember to bake me chicken wings when the time comes"
