Chapter 974 - 974 Helping Secretly
974 Helping Secretly
Xue Fanxin and a group of new disciples walked towards the opposite side of the mountain. The rugged and steep mountain path made it very difficult for them to walk.
After walking for a short distance, many people were so tired that they could not walk anymore, especially the younger ones. They did not have enough stamina to walk to the other side of the mountain. Even if they walked there, it was already past lunchtime.
Zhou Xiaotong could tell that this was a problem. He sat on a rock and said while panting, “Xiaomeng, the opposite side of this mountain is too far away. By the time we arrive, lunch time will have long passed. Will there be anything else to eat by then?”
Xue Fanxin had trained in the Moon Burial Ridge for a period of time, and her stamina and endurance were countless times better than before. Walking such a small mountain path was not difficult for her at all, and she did not even feel tired. However, when she saw that the new disciples were so tired, she felt quite sympathetic.
No matter how talented these new disciples were, they had not started cultivating and did not have any cultivation level. At most, they were only ordinary people and children. They could not walk such a rugged and steep mountain path at all.
“Forget it if you can’t make it. If you’re hungry, I still have some food here.” Xue Fanxin took out some dried meat from her space and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone was already hungry. Seeing that there was food, they did not stand on ceremony with Xue Fanxin and started eating.
“Thank you, Sister.”
Looking at these innocent and kind children, Xue Fanxin really could not watch helplessly as they were harmed by the Flowing Cloud Sect.
It was fine if she could not save the children who had been persecuted in the past, but now that she had met these few, she should help them and try her best to not let them be harmed by the Flowing Cloud Sect.
“Xiaomeng, why do you have so much delicious food on you?” Zhou Xiaotong asked as he nibbled on the dried meat.
“I have a storage bag that contains quite a lot of food. This storage bag was given to me by Overseer Ding. I heard that it’s very valuable!” Xue Fanxin casually took out an ordinary storage bag for everyone to see and even explained the origins of this storage bag to avoid attracting unnecessary suspicion.
“A storage bag. It’s the kind that can hold a lot of things, right?”
“That’s right! You can store a lot of things!”
“Sister Xiaomeng, can you let me see that storage bag? I’ve never seen what a storage bag looks like.”
“Sure! If you want to see it, take it out and see it.” Xue Fanxin generously showed her storage bag to these cute children.
One of the children carefully took the storage bag over and was about to investigate what it looked like inside, but unexpectedly, the storage bag was pulled away by a force.
“Storage bag…”
“How could a dreg from a remote place like you have a storage bag? You must have used dishonorable methods to obtain it.”
Zhang Qiushan suddenly appeared and even led a group of followers to snatch the storage bag. It seemed like he had no intention of returning it and wanted it for himself.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?” Zhang Qiushan kicked Zhou Xiaotong away.
With Zhang Qiushan’s cultivation level, with this kick, even if Zhou Xiaotong did not die, he would be crippled.
Xue Fanxin had no choice but to step forward and catch Zhou Xiaotong from behind. She injected her power into his body to resist Zhang Qiushan’s kick for him.
However, she could not be too obvious, so she had to make Zhou Xiaotong suffer a bit.
