Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 146 Elm Head
The old man in black robe glanced at Shen Fuyu out of the corner of his eye and was too lazy to argue with Shen Fuyu.

Soon the group reached the top of the mountain. Everyone felt exhausted and sat on the ground gasping for breath in a humiliating manner.

"I'm so tired. I haven't climbed a mountain in a long time. Today I realized that my physical strength is not as good as Master Li's."

"You guys, don't just study, you should exercise. Look, not only can I climb to the top of the mountain, I can even go down without any pressure."

Shen Mengwu raised her chin unconsciously, with a look of pride between her eyebrows.

See it.

She is very powerful.

I just climbed a mountain and didn't feel any energy wasted at all.

Suddenly, the sky became gloomy and it was about to rain.

The black-robed old man's expression changed. "Hurry up and get down the mountain."

The old man in black robe moved his fingers slightly, and made a spell skillfully and quickly, and the white light quietly disappeared in the air.

Shen Fuyu quickly carried the bag on his back. The young men gathered together and ate everything cleanly, thus reducing a lot of burden on the way back.

"Everyone, don't just stand there. The weather doesn't look good. It's going to rain soon. It's very dangerous to stay on the mountain on a rainy day. Let's take advantage of this time and get down the mountain quickly."

Different from the commanding tone of the old man in black robe, Shen Fuyu explained the matter briefly.

Everyone also knew the danger of staying on the mountain on a rainy day, so no one complained, climbed up very quickly, and started to go down the mountain without saying a word. After spending a short time together, everyone became closer, and many people were willing to support classmates who were physically exhausted.

When Shen Fuyu saw this scene, his eyebrows curved unconsciously.

Boys and girls of this age are always particularly kind.

You can hate someone because of a small thing, and you can also resolve the grudge because of a piece of candy.

"A Ning, stay with me."

Shen Fuyu always takes extra care of the frail Shen Mengning.

Although Shen Mengwu also wanted to stay with Shen Fuyu, but thinking that her sister had no ability to protect herself, she honestly helped other classmates.

"Meng Yuan, hold my hand."

Cheng Ziqi followed Shen Mengwu quietly, and when Shen Mengwu staggered, he reached out to help her.

"Shen Mengwu, if you can't do it, don't be so stubborn. I can help Meng Yuan."

"Who says I can't do it? I'm a skilled martial artist and don't need help from anyone else. Meng Yuan, you can rest assured and leave your body to me."

Shen Fuyu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Shen Mengwu and Cheng Ziqi playing and fighting, but they moved quickly and were not in any danger, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"A Ning, how are you feeling?"

Shen Mengning bit her lip, feeling somewhat guilty. "Fuyu, I'm always holding you back. When we get back home this time, please teach me how to practice martial arts together. I don't want to, and I don't like, having to hide behind you when things get tough. Not only can I not help, but I often end up dragging you down."

Although Shen Mengning didn't say anything, she kept everything in mind.

She cares a lot.

Just like last time, Shen Mengwu could have been spared injury, but because she was worried about her, Shen Mengwu received so many slaps for no reason. Shen Mengning felt extremely guilty just thinking about it.

"A Ning, don't always doubt yourself. If you want to learn martial arts, we can teach you."

"But you have never been a burden to anyone." Shen Mengning lowered her eyes to hide her tears.

The black-robed old man ran to Shen Fuyu's side at some point, and seeing the sentimental scene, he curled his lips and said, "If we have this time, we might as well think about whether we can successfully get down the mountain before the rain starts."

"With Master Li here, I believe we can definitely get down the mountain before the rain starts."

Shen Fuyu blinked at the old man in black robe, obviously seeing all the little movements of the old man in black robe.

Even though the old man in black robe is usually unreliable, at least Master Li is his public identity.

If any problems occurred among so many scholars under the nose of the old man in black robe, the parents alone would be able to eat the old man in black robe alive.

"Don't you think this is thrilling? Running down the mountain with everyone, it's like we're in a running race. I think even if I were in my seventies or eighties, I'd still find this day thrilling when I think back on it."

"Yes!"

"Well... why don't we have a competition to see who can get down the mountain first? The last one gets to treat us to dinner."

"You're cheating. You ran away as soon as I finished speaking. Wait for me."

Everyone was talking and laughing, and soon they went down the mountain.

However, the next second, heavy rain began to fall. Many scholars were caught off guard and were soon drenched. Cheng Ziqi reacted quickly and took off his coat and covered Shen Mengwu's head with it.

Shen Mengwu gave him a strange look, her expression alert.

Then, Shen Mengwu cautiously came to Shen Fuyu, hid behind her, and complained.

"Shen Fuyu, I think Cheng Ziqi is so weird. Why would he take care of me like this for no reason? Cheng Ziqi, if there's anything you need my help with, just tell me. As classmates, I won't stand by and watch you die. If you don't say anything and just keep being nice to me, I'll always think you have ulterior motives."

After thinking about it, Shen Mengwu took off her outer shirt and threw it into Cheng Ziqi's hands, unwilling to accept Cheng Ziqi's help.

Cheng Ziqi's face suddenly darkened, his chubby face, like that of Maitreya Buddha, was filled with anger. "Shen Mengwu, you really don't know how to appreciate kindness."

Shen Mengwu frowned, unable to understand what Cheng Ziqi meant.

"Men's minds are so complicated."

This light sentence almost made Cheng Ziqi vomit blood.

The corners of Shen Fuyu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Cheng Ziqi with sympathy.

What could he be thinking? It was just the beginning of a young man's love. However, Shen Mengwu hadn't figured it out yet and didn't understand what Cheng Ziqi was thinking. Instead, she thought Cheng Ziqi was up to something bad.

"Awu, maybe Cheng Ziqi simply wants to be good to you." Shen Fuyu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mengwu shook her head firmly and said righteously, "My mother once taught me that there is no free lunch in the world. No one will be nice to you for no reason. There must be some ulterior motive, although I don't know what Cheng Ziqi is scheming."

"Shen Mengwu, you are such a blockhead."

Cheng Ziqi's eyes were filled with resentment, and he was obviously very depressed. However, after all, it was his one-sided little thought. Even if Shen Mengwu didn't accept it, what could she do? Cheng Ziqi could only sulk in his heart.

Shen Fuyu smiled and covered the Shen sisters' heads with the bed sheet, barely pretending to be raindrops. The sound of raindrops rang in her ears, and she changed the subject, "Miss, Miss, the rain is getting heavier. Let's go back to the academy first. As for other things, we can talk about it later."

"Shen Fuyu, you hide in here too."

Cheng Ziqi was depressed for a moment, but still shamelessly squeezed in with Shen Mengwu.

Although everyone was soaked, it was a novel experience for them.
