Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 176 Rebellion
"What's the point of eating so much? You still have the hope of becoming a human being! If you ask me, unless the heavens are blind, you will never become a human being in your lifetime."

The old man in black robe scolded everyone equally, and only then did he feel relieved.

The old man in black robe didn't give Shen Fuyu any chance to speak. Seeing that Shen Fuyu was not in danger of life, he left the Shen Mansion on his own.

Shen Fuyu opened his lips and wanted to say something, but when he saw the black-robed old man walking away, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Shen Mengwu, Shen Mengning, please carry me back to my room."

"I'll leave the porridge distribution matter to you and Senior Brother Lu. If there's anything you can't solve, please come and ask me."

Even at this moment, Shen Fuyu was still thinking about the people outside the city.

Since he has already agreed, Shen Fuyu must follow through.

"Shen Fuyu, don't worry."

"You have to trust us too. Shen Fuyu, take a good rest first. We'll talk again after you've regained your strength."

Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning were smart enough not to ask about the identity of the old man in black robe.

After all, if the old man in black robe had not appeared in time today, none of them would have been able to escape.

If you really think about it, the old man in black robe can be considered as a savior.

"Ah."

Shen Fuyu nodded and fell into a deep sleep.

After fighting with Murong Yue for three hundred rounds, Shen Fuyu had already lost his strength.

Shen Mengning considerately tucked the corner of the quilt for Shen Fuyu.

He turned around and left with Shen Mengwu.

"Awu." Shen Mengning's expression was serious, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this."

"Including my mother."

"Shen Fuyu has devoted his life to us two sisters, and we cannot betray Shen Fuyu."

Shen Mengwu nodded seriously and kept Shen Mengning's words firmly in her heart.

"No matter what the identity of the old man in black robe is, we don't need to be curious."

"It's normal for Shen Fuyu to have secrets. If Shen Fuyu doesn't want to tell us, then... we'll just pretend we don't know."

Shen Mengning repeatedly reminded him that her little sister was not a mean person.

"Sister, I know."

"I won't be an ungrateful person."

Shen Mengwu clenched her fists and made a promise to Shen Mengning.

"Sister, let's go clean up the yard first, otherwise the smell of blood will attract suspicion."

The Shen sisters cleaned the yard quickly.

Shen Mengwu took out a small bottle of potion and gently poured it on Murong Yue. After a quarter of an hour, Murong Yue's body turned into a pool of gray water.

……

The next day.

Shen Mengwu brought a bowl of egg custard and fed it to Shen Fuyu personally.

"Shen Fuyu, you should rest well at home. My sister and I will continue to go out and distribute porridge."

Shen Fuyu's face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood. Seeing Shen Mengwu's worried eyes, Shen Fuyu couldn't help but give her some advice.

"Second Miss, bring more guards with you. I'm afraid the refugees will cause trouble."

Although the refugees were suppressed for a short time, there was no way to prevent them from being instigated.

outside the city.

Cheng Ziqi and Lu Mingtang had already started distributing porridge today.

Seeing the Shen sisters coming, Lu Mingtang couldn't help but ask.

"Where's Shen Fuyu? Why didn't she come?"

Lu Mingtang stretched his neck and kept looking behind the Shen sisters, afraid of missing Shen Fuyu.

The Shen sisters exchanged a glance. Shen Mengwu spoke up, "Senior Brother Lu, Shen Fuyu had some family problems and went home."

This was the statement agreed upon by Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning.

Shen Fuyu has too many secrets. If this matter is exposed, it will definitely lead to many people's speculations. It is better to conceal this matter and avoid a lot of trouble.

"Ok."

An inexplicable sense of loss emerged in Lu Mingtang's heart.

Shen Mengwu didn't notice anything wrong and started to cook porridge with Shen Mengning.

The movements of several people have long gone from being unfamiliar at the beginning to being proficient now.

The refugees also lined up in an orderly manner.

The guards standing on the city wall couldn't help but whisper about it.

"As expected of the four major families, they are compassionate. For such a long time, the refugees have been wandering outside the city, and the city lord has not taken any action. I didn't expect that the first people to distribute porridge would be the young masters and young ladies of the four major families."

"Yeah, I thought a bunch of rich girls couldn't endure the hardship, but I didn't expect them to persevere."

"I used to have some stereotypes about the Miss Shen family. I thought they were very difficult to get along with. I didn't expect that the Miss Shen family is hardworking and not spoiled at all."

The Shen sisters' good reputation reached its peak.

If someone now says that the Shen sisters are disaster stars, they will definitely be scolded back.

The Shen sisters were unaware of this and were absent-mindedly making porridge.

Meng Yuan and Cheng Ziqi looked at each other and couldn't help but move closer to the Shen sisters.

"Shen Mengwu, Shen Mengning, are you in a bad mood? Why do you seem absent-minded? If you encounter any problems, just tell us. We are good friends."

"After speaking out, everyone can work together to find a solution to the problem."

Meng Yuan's sweet voice reached her ears, and Shen Mengning forced a smile.

He calmly blocked Shen Mengwu's way to prevent the three of them from seeing the tears in Shen Mengwu's eyes.

Shen Mengning spoke softly, "It's not a big deal."

"Shen Fuyu suddenly learned that something happened at home, so we helped Shen Fuyu pack up overnight. As a result, he didn't sleep well last night and had to get up early. He was absent-minded because he didn't get enough rest."

Seeing that Shen Mengning had no other emotions except for some dark circles under her eyes, Meng Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, Aning and Wu, we are good friends. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to hide anything."

"Snapped!"

Suddenly one of the refugees dropped a bowl.

Then the sound of countless bowls breaking was heard.

It immediately attracted the attention of the Shen sisters and their group.

The guards surrounded the Shen sisters and their group without making a sound, showing a protective attitude.

"Bah! Two bowls of porridge every day are filled with water. Are they trying to keep us full, or are they just pumping water to maintain our vital signs?"

"Yes, yes. We are displaced, and the court doesn't want to find a way to accommodate us. They just want to give us two bowls of porridge every day."

"I don't have enough food to eat, I don't have enough clothes to wear, and I can only sleep in a dilapidated temple every day. What kind of a shitty life is this? I quit!"

"Brothers, if you ask me, we should just fight them. If we lose, we'll die. If we win, we can go to the city and live a comfortable life. Where can we find a place to live? We can also avoid staying in a dilapidated temple and getting up at night for fear of stepping on someone."

A voice came from the crowd, silent and rhythmic, and the refugees were immediately encouraged.

They attacked the Shen sisters and others.

Those who wanted to rob food robbed food, and those who wanted to attack the city gates attacked the city gates.

Chaos!

It's all chaos!

Cheng Ziqi protected Shen Mengwu behind him without making a sound.

The guards didn't dare to take action and could only protect their young lady and master from getting hurt.

"No! Everyone, don't worry. Providing porridge outside the city is only temporary. We will definitely be able to come up with a solution and properly accommodate each of you. Don't worry, give us some time, okay?"
