The Spirit World

Chapter 236: Pigs don’t know why they are fed by humans all their lives.

"For others, becoming a member of the nobility is a blessing, but for me, I want to know what Rosades's motive is. I am just accepting a commission, and there is no need for him to be so nice to me. Even my master should not have such a big face."

Chang Yufeng agreed with Xun Huangying's statement. As long as he possessed the Rosades' family crest stone, it meant that he had become Rosades's subordinate.

It's not impossible, but is this commission important enough to allow an ordinary child to become a member of the nobility?

"What other reasons could there be? There's a high probability that someone needs to take the blame. I've seen this happen many times."

Xun Huangying lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling of Chang Yufeng's room. The glass cover was inlaid with extremely dazzling glowing crystals. With just a switch, the cover would be covered by a black curtain. This small design was very simple, but the material used for the curtain was very complicated.

"You mean, Rosades went to such great lengths to hire an adventure group as bodyguards and another guide for patrol, just to find someone to take the blame?"

Xun Huangying's nonchalant attitude made Chang Yufeng unable to believe what Xun Huangying said so quickly. Maybe Xun Huangying just said it casually.

But Xun Huangying had his reasons for saying this. After all, no one knew whether Xun Huangying really had foreseen it.

"Well... but there is one thing I can't understand. Why did he reveal Victoria's letter? He could have just replaced it with another letter."

"You sensed it too?"

Chang Yufeng thought Xun Huangying didn't care about this matter.

"Ahaha~ Of course, it's just a greeting letter, nothing much. He could just replace it with another letter and do whatever he wants with it. Unless, Victoria is also the key to this commission."

"With so many tricks, isn't he afraid that we won't be able to guess what he means? We are still trying to decipher his meaning."

Chang Yufeng also plopped down on the bed. His bed was very big, and it was a big bed prepared for him to use until he grew up. He and Xun Huangying were like two little kids, lying on the azure blue mattress. The weather was too hot, so Aileya specially changed to a cool bamboo mat.

A block of ice as big as a head was placed in a wooden barrel and hidden away on the bedside table. The room felt as comfortable as being on the surface of a warm ocean. The closer to the bedside table, the cooler and more comfortable it felt.

Xunhuangying, who didn't want to shave his hair, moved his butt towards the bedside table even though he tied the wool into a braid. As soon as Chang Yufeng lay down, he moved towards the bedside table like a caterpillar.

He could no longer see the glowing crystal, his eyes widened, and he said innocently: "It depends on your ability. I am too lazy to think so much. I will just punch him and see if he will tell me. He has so many bad ideas in his mind. What a bad character~ hum~"

Xun Huangying waved his fist at the white ceiling.

"It is indeed very troublesome to answer commissions and guess riddles. My master has repeatedly reminded me to be cautious, and it is not without reason. Without a little bit of precaution, it is easy to become a victim. But my master cannot say it directly."

Chang Yufeng looked at the ceiling. He saw a small insect flying in from the ceiling. Even if the windows were closed, some insects would still fly in for no reason.

They won't sting people, but they will freeze to death in the room if they are greedy for the cold air in the room.

"If you want to achieve great things, isn't that the case? If someone tells you about something profitable for no reason, how much face do you have? If someone asks you to join in the fun when the pie falls from the sky, wouldn't that be stupid?"

"Does Rosades look like a fool?"

Xun Huangying tilted his head and looked at Chang Yufeng. He propped up his head and lay on his side beside Chang Yufeng like a noble lady. He sighed seriously, "Ah~ From the current point of view, we are here to wade into this muddy water, and we can't blame others."

Chang Yufeng nodded on the bed, his hair rubbing against the bamboo mat. A small insect crawled onto his face and he shook it off with his hand.

"I'm not afraid, but in their eyes, I'm just a child. It's a bit too much to give such a complicated matter to a child, and it may be a tiankeng matter. Rosades is not as good as I thought."

"Isn't this nonsense? Who is better than you?"

Xun Huangying kicked Chang Yufeng.

"But, others don't treat you as a child, right? In the eyes of others, you are already very capable, and you are completely on a different level from your peers."

"Of course, you haven't been to school properly, so others don't know how to judge you. Is it too late to go to school at the age of twelve?"

Xun Huangying kicked Chang Yufeng lightly twice again.

"According to the Principality, it's not too late. I missed the Dragon Contest at the age of six. Now I only have the qualification of family recommendation for admission. It seems that it is different from the cheating students. It is a part-time study and work type. I need to sign a contract and work for the family for a period of time."

"Well... forget it, you don't need it. You might as well just be called illiterate for the rest of your life." Xun Huangying was suddenly amused by his own words: "Haha, illiterate, I'm so surprised I could think of that~"

"I know." Chang Yufeng put his arm on his forehead. His deep eyes were shining with stars. When he talked about these things, he naturally became depressed.

"But, the school enrollment system here is like this. If you miss the Dragon Race, you basically have no school to go to. Not to mention that other studies require a lot of money as a foundation."

"Oh, it's the same everywhere!" Xun Huangying turned over and lay on the bed.

"I missed the Dragon Assembly. In Rosades's eyes, I am just an uneducated farm boy. I have such great abilities only because of you."

Chang Yufeng sighed: "So, it is completely reasonable for us to receive his family crest stone."

"And what does he mean?"

Xun Huangying's unintentional question made Chang Yufeng silent.

Losing the opportunity to learn, in most cases, means being unable to change the status quo, lacking a longer-term vision, losing a broader space, and losing the ability to improve and expand one's life.

After knowing so many truths of the world, the feeling of loss of these things that we never had can make us speechless.

But people only have one life.

He was silent, and wanted to say something to Xun Huangying. The dazzling light was blurry, and the light emitted by the glowing crystal was so dazzling.

"Let's wait and see tomorrow. Tomorrow, we'll see what the commission is."

"Sheep~"

Xun Huangying's sudden gentle voice made Chang Yufeng stunned for a second.

"What's wrong?"

Chang Yufeng glanced at Xun Huangying and saw that water vapor was coming out of the braids on Xun Huangying's body.

This guy doesn't want to shave even though it's so hot.

"Is there a possibility? I mean possible?"

"what?"

Xun Huangying rarely keeps people in suspense, because he hates others keeping people in suspense the most. When he keeps people in suspense, it must be something very important.

"Do you remember what I said?"

"What? You said too many things... Which one?"

"That's the one."

"Which one?"

Xun Huangying hesitated and turned his body around. He had short arms and legs, and rolled on the head of the bed like a white ball, stretching out his small limbs.

There are also various braids.

Now, the man and the sheep were lying together, forming a big number "7".

"You sound very funny when you talk like that. Speak now."

Chang Yufeng blurted out a sentence that didn't belong here, and pushed Xun Huangying at the same time.

"Hahahaha, it's weird that you talk like that. Super weird~"

Xun Huangying burst into laughter, and Chang Yufeng couldn't help laughing as well.

This joke from another world that belonged to only the two of them and was known to them made them laugh so hard that they fell backwards.

It took a few minutes before it didn't feel abrupt, and even the laughter calmed down, and the sleepiness of the summer night set in. "Since you want to go into the field of guiding, how about we form a team ourselves to take on commissions?"

Xun Huangying calmed down and made a suggestion.

But Chang Yufeng didn't say anything else. Instead, he slowly lay down and placed his hands on his lower abdomen.

He wanted to hear what Xun Huangying wanted to say.

"We now have the ability to do this. We don't need to fight alone. Although we don't have the treasures in the Three Thousand Palaces, but..."

"What does this have to do with the Three Thousand Palaces?"

Chang Yufeng couldn't understand what Xun Huangying meant, but he understood what it meant to build a team. There were many small groups in this world, and naturally there were also many combined teams.

These "teams" are sometimes simply called teams, sometimes adventure groups, sometimes united in the name of guilds, and sometimes exist in the form of chambers of commerce.

Only those teams that are extremely outstanding and can be well-known everywhere can sink quietly and find it difficult to grow and develop.

There are also several types of teams that are not allowed to see the light of day. They often play gray roles in history. For example, [Shadow Hunters] and [Hatulin] are teams with a long history, but they are notorious and it is difficult to bring them to the table.

However, this kind of gray group can easily become a topic of conversation during an after-dinner walk.

Chang Yufeng didn’t know why Xun Huangying said this, nor did he know what this had to do with the Three Thousand Palaces.

One more person means one more wisdom, and three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. If the meaning of seeking the wild shadow is to help each other and support each other to move forward, then there is indeed some truth in it.

"Think about it, if we really form a team, we have to contribute money and effort, right? If we want to find people, we have to provide them with some help, right? Weapons, equipment, enhancement medicine, etc...."

"Stop, stop..."

Xun Huangying seemed to have already determined that Chang Yufeng would want to form a team, and wanted to tell him all the expected things.

"what happened?"

Xun Huangying saw that Chang Yufeng interrupted him and fell silent again, so he sat up and looked at him.

Chang Yufeng had closed his eyes. He didn't say anything, and Xun Huangying fell asleep again.

"If one day you need help and I'm not here, you'll need someone else to help you."

Xun Huangying's voice became softer and softer.

But suddenly it became louder again.

"I wouldn't really expect that little bitch to protect you."

His voice began to stammer like a mosquito again.

"I think there will be a day like that, anyway..."

Xun Huangying secretly glanced at Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him, which seemed to scare Xun Huangying, and he fell backwards with a scream.

The wind flowed in through the white gauze of the window, bringing with it the scent of fragrant grass.

"What are you doing? You scared me!"

Xun Huangying started scolding Chang Yufeng instead.

"I was wondering what you were doing."

Chang Yufeng frowned, propped up his head, and stared at Xun Huangying in confusion.

"Are you planning to destroy the world again?"

"what?"

Xunhuangying was surprisingly surprised.

He jumped up from the bed, akimbo and waving his hands.

"Is it considered as having evil thoughts that I, the great Supreme Being, want to destroy the world? Don't underestimate me."

"So, you want to organize a team to destroy the world?" Chang Yufeng also sat up: "Your idea is very dangerous. Do you know that?"

"Humph, but, how do you think about it, wouldn't it be difficult to do everything just relying on you alone?"

Chang Yufeng saw a hint of sadness in Xun Huangying's serious eyes, which was something he had never seen in Xun Huangying's eyes.

Sometimes, to be honest, even though we have been together for such a long time, I have never looked at Xun Huangying seriously. Not to mention that Xun Huangying can be very annoying sometimes and won't give others the chance to look directly at him, even when he is normal, his face is full of disdain and he is a completely cold guy.

His concern for the future is very rare.

"The Land of the Fallen Dragon, Wenti County, the nobles in this crappy place don't even treat you as a human being. Do you want to live in this small place forever?"

"I do not understand what you mean."

"Ambition, ambition. Where is your ambition?"

"My...ambition?"

Chang Yufeng was stunned by Xun Huangying's sudden change of tone.

For a second, he felt that Xun Huangying was not so careless. He had complete and independent thoughts and was always different from what he seemed.

Xun Huangying is Xun Huangying. He has always looked at things from an arrogant perspective, but he becomes calmer when he is with Chang Yufeng.

He is a man who has seen the world, so naturally he won't be bothered by trivial matters.

How is it possible to live in Wenti County for a lifetime?

"The thing called ambition can torture people to death."

Xun Huangying's words turned from gentle to cold.

He is Xun Huangying, not Chang Yufeng after all.

"Is that right?"

Chang Yufeng somewhat understood Xun Huangying's thoughts.

The world remains the same, but it will never change even a little bit just because you become optimistic.

"Do you really want that little bitch to protect you forever?"

Xun Huangying looked at Chang Yufeng with such a sharp look.

"She will really fight hard."

He knew what kind of person Chang Yufeng was, so every word he said forced Chang Yufeng to be serious.

Whatever is fine.

"I will think about it."

He said, and slowly lay down again, not speaking again for the rest of the night.
