Chen Diji was not polite at all. He picked up the puff pastry and took a bite.

After taking a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up.

good to eat!

It smells so good!

It tastes really good!

At this moment, only these three sentences lingered in his mind. The taste of this roasted suckling pig was so delicious, even better than the roasted suckling pig he had eaten before.

Just as he was enjoying the food happily, one dish was served after another. Looking at the delicious food on the table, Chen Diji felt so happy in his heart.

Chen Zixuan took in the entire scene, and he could be said to have mastered a little hobby.

Chen Diji didn't have such a big stomach, and he wasn't hungry anyway, so he only took two bites of each dish to taste it and then stopped eating.

He put down his chopsticks and patted his belly with satisfaction.

It tastes really good, I will come again next time!

But before he could be happy for too long, a sound came from next door.

"Have you heard that Jianfeng accepted two useless disciples!"

"I've heard it, you all know that Immortal Chu Yi accepts disciples based on fate. If someone has a predestined relationship with him, he doesn't care whether that person is talented or not, he will accept him!"

"Speaking of which, we are no worse than those two losers. We just lack opportunities! They are so lucky!"

The group of people who said this had a sour tone, full of envy, resentment, and contempt for Chen Diji and Zhu Wuhen.

Chen Diji remained silent, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, but Zhu Wuhen clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could step on that man's face and tell him, 'I'm not a waste!'

But he couldn't...

He laughed at himself in his heart. What else was he now but a waste? Was he still the respected and high-ranking young master of the Zhu family?

Do not!

He is now... just the eighth disciple of Jianfeng. If it weren't for Chen Diji and Chu Yi, he would just be a beggar, a beggar that no one wants.

"By the way, have you heard about it?"

"what? What?"

"He's their little disciple. I heard that he was just a beggar before he joined the sect! Hahaha..."

When Zhu Wuhen heard the word beggar, his vision suddenly dimmed.

To him, those difficult years were unbearable and filthy, and he didn't want anyone to mention them.

But his heart was conflicted again.

They were right. Before I joined the sect, I was just a beggar!

He tried his best to keep himself calm, but Chen Diji seemed to see the unhappiness and frustration in Zhu Wuhen's heart. He picked up the chopsticks and quickly put some food into Zhu Wuhen's bowl.

As if he was comforting her, his pair of round eyes were sparkling, and only his eyes and his red lips could be seen on his entire face.

An extremely soft and cute voice exploded in Zhu Wuhen's ears. He said, "Come to think of it, I was also a beggar before I joined the sect."

When Chen Zixuan heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

Hey~

This is all my fault!

In fact, he met Chen Diji earlier than Chu Yi, but he was just suspicious at that time, and Chen Jiyi kept urging him, so... he missed the good opportunity to bring Chen Diji home.

Everything we do now is just compensation to make up for past mistakes.

Xie Zhaoli and Ruan Moli immediately caught Chen Zixuan's regret at that moment. They said nothing, looked at each other, and immediately stood up.

Lift your foot! Kick it hard.

"Who allowed you to say bad things about my junior brother!" Ruan Moli was aggressive and his eyes seemed to want to kill someone.

When that person saw that Jianfeng's fellow disciples were all there and had heard everything they had just said, he could not help but raise his hands to cover his face.

"What? You have the nerve to say you have no nerve to let people see who you are, right?" Xie Zhaoli saw that there were at least five people here, and then said, "I want to know which disciple from the inner or outer sect dares to discuss the name of the direct disciple!"

The five men's legs were trembling. They only dared to talk behind the scenes, not to shout in front of the real master. They covered their faces with their hands, and cried a little, "We were wrong. We will never say anything nonsense again."

"I hope Senior Brother Ruan and Senior Brother Xie can spare our lives."

"No!" Ruan Moli didn't want to let go of the five people who were making irresponsible comments about Chen Diji and Zhu Wuhen. He just wanted to arrest the two and bring them to the Law Enforcement Hall to let the Law Enforcement Elders make the judgment. "You must follow me to the Law Enforcement Hall. As for how the Law Enforcement Elders judge, that's his business."

When that person saw that Ruan Moli disagreed, he burst into tears.

How would they know? They were just talking nonsense, but who knew that the person was right in front of them.

They only have money but no strength, so how can they be a match for Ruan Moli and Xie Zhaoli.

Just when Ruan Moli and Xie Zhaoli were planning to arrest these five people and send them to the Law Enforcement Hall later, Chen Zixuan came over and said, "Leave these five people to me! I still need a few herb-collecting boys in my courtyard, so let them go."

When the five people heard this, the hope they had finally gained instantly dissipated. They might as well go to the Law Enforcement Hall!

Being a herbalist can be said to be the hardest and most dangerous job in the entire sect.

They have to climb mountains, dive into seas of fire, climb cliffs, swim in rivers, and not only that, they have to go to the sect's extremely cold place. But this is not the fundamental reason why they are afraid.

The most fundamental reason is that the boy picking herbs may have to go to the back mountain!

You know, the back mountain is a forbidden area. Once you go there, you may lose your life. Every year, we hear that several medicine boys die in the back mountain, so they don't want to go there.

They all shook their heads, but Chen Zixuan ignored them.

In this matter, it is not up to them to decide whether they want to go or not.

But in order to appease them, Chen Zixuan exuded an extremely kind and gentle smile, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go to a dangerous place!"

"We just went to the Law Enforcement Hall. I don't know how the Law Enforcement Elders will judge us. Why don't you follow me? I will give you a good place."

"It's not that long, just three months!"

When the five people saw Chen Zixuan being so kind, they also remembered the rumors.

Rumor has it that Chen Zixuan, the third disciple of Ye Wuzong, has a gentle and kind temperament and is a well-known good man.

Since they are to be Chen Zixuan's herb-picking boys, it seems... they are not unable to accept it, and they may even be able to gain some benefits from it.

So, he nodded happily.

But they didn't know that when Chen Zixuan turned around and his eyes were no longer on them, his gaze became icy cold, even colder than that of Xie Zhaoli and Ruan Moli.

"Hmph! A smiling tiger." After leaving these words, Ruan Moli returned to his seat.

Chen Diji didn't know how his adopted second brother would deal with those five people, but... he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his second brother.

On one side he is so gentle, but on the other side... he seems... so cruel and terribly ferocious!

Chen Diji didn't care, he only knew one thing.

As long as I am strong enough, no matter how powerful my second brother is, he will not be my opponent!

No! I have to practice hard today!

What if the child is switched, and the elder brother finds his biological brother, and then is determined to harm his biological brother to make way for his adopted brother? How can he tolerate such a bloody drama happening to him!

It seems that no one in this world can be relied upon, and the person you can rely on the most is yourself!

I still have to work hard!
