Chapter 7 They Have Nothing To Eat
Qian Zilin smiled silently, took out a piece of broken silver the size of half a copper plate from his purse, and threw it into his hand, "Take this money and go back, as I will compensate you for the immortal."

"Thank you Qianshao...ah no, thank you Immortal."

The man bowed to Qian Zilin gratefully, then to Zhou Suqin, and walked away in a hurry.

With this man's precedent, the rest of the townspeople followed suit. In the end, only eight people remained in the original 18-person team.

Apart from the four Tianjianzong disciples, only Zhu Qing, Tao Hua, Qian Zilin and Qingxi remained.

"Sorry, Immortal, I didn't expect this to happen."

Qian Zilin walked up to Wei Changting, looking a little embarrassed.

"I don't blame you for this matter. In fact, you are right. Cultivating immortals is indeed a very difficult thing. If you don't make up your mind to become a monk, it is better to choose to give up at the beginning than to regret later."

Wei Changting smiled lightly, his tone was gentle and authentic.

"Although this is indeed the case, if I hadn't come up with the bad idea of ​​using money to pay off those who regret it, there shouldn't be so few people left. Will this affect your career...work?"

Qian Zilin said cautiously.

"It's okay, our Tianjianzong pays attention to fate when accepting disciples, even if the last disciple doesn't receive it, it's okay."

Wei Changting spoke calmly and calmly.

"It's fine if it doesn't affect you."

Qian Zilin stretched his brows, smiled and stepped back.

"Keep going."

Wei Changting gave an order, and the team started walking again.

The leader was still Wei Changting, the other disciples walked behind him, and Qian Zilin walked behind all the disciples.

Zhu Qing originally wanted to walk at the back, but Tao Hua insisted on walking alongside her, and Qingxi walked very slowly, deliberately being the last, so she could only walk in the middle.

"Sister Zhu Qing, I actually kind of want to go back."

Tao Hua said in a low voice.

"Since you want to go back, why didn't you just leave?"

Zhu Qing asked in a low voice.

"If sister Zhu Qing wasn't here, I should have left just now."

Tao Hua held her hand, a little confused and authentic.

"I don't really have to go to Tianjianzong, you should have told me."

Zhu Qing suddenly felt helpless.

In fact, being a casual cultivator is pretty good, she really never thought that she must join a certain sect in this Canggou Continent.

"I remember that I made an appointment with you to go to Tianjianzong together. I can't say nothing."

Tao Hua lowered her head and said.

"Little sister, in fact, it's okay to say something occasionally, especially if you make a mistake and find that you can't do it at all. You can completely renege on your promise, but remember to explain the reason clearly and remember to apologize."

Before Zhu Qing could answer, Qian Zilin suddenly turned around and looked over, talking to Tao Hua while walking back.

"I remember that your name is Qian Zilin. Although you mean well, how can you overhear my private conversation with sister Zhu Qing?"

Tao Hua was full of anger.

"How can I eavesdrop? You are so close to me, even if you lower your voice, I can hear you clearly, okay?"

Qian Zilin rolled his eyes.

"Even so, you can't listen."

Tao Hua put her hands on her hips, speaking with confidence.

"Okay, just treat me like a dog and a mouse, and mind my own business."

After Qian Zilin finished speaking with a dark face, he turned back.

"Sister Zhu Qing, I thought this Qian Zilin was very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be a villain who can eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Let's stay away from him next time."

Tao Hua pulled Zhu Qing back a little.

Zhu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she didn't know how to speak.

But Qian Zilin gave her a really weird feeling, so it's better to stay away from him.

……

Before dark, the team came out of the woods.

There are no villages and towns nearby, so they can only sleep overnight in the wild.

At daybreak, they embarked on the journey to Tianjianzong again.

Both Zhu Qing's and Tao Hua's dry food lasted less than two days, and Qingxi's food was also exhausted. Only Qian Zilin seemed to have a lot of dry food, and there was still a lot left by the next night.

Wei Changting and the others never ate anything, they just meditated at night, perhaps because they forgot the grains in advance, so they didn't need to eat.

"Sister Zhu Qing, I'm still a little hungry, what should I do?"

Tao Hua rubbed her belly, frustrated.

"I'll go and see if there's anything I can eat nearby."

What Zhu Qing had found before was a kind of berry called raspberry, which had a lot of water and was small in size. Even after eating a hundred or eighty berries, it was still not enough to eat.

"I'll go with you."

Tao Hua followed.

"Wait a minute, is it appropriate for you two girls to run to find something to eat this late at night?"

Qian Zilin who was standing far away suddenly ran over and stopped them.

"We won't go far."

Zhu Qing said without thinking.

"You don't need to worry, slightly~"

Tao Hua made a face at him.

Qingxi walked over, looked at them with complicated expressions, hesitated to speak.

"I still have some food here, I can share it with you, or don't go."

Qian Zilin took off the burden, and took out two oiled paper bags no bigger than a palm.

"This is crispy rice, and this is dried meat. Both of them are dry. Share some with each of you, and drink more water. You shouldn't be hungry."

He handed two oil-paper packages back and forth to Zhu Qing's hands.

"What is rice crust?"

Tao Hua looked at the first oil-paper package that Zhu Qing opened, her face was full of doubts.

"The crispy rice is made of rice, and the jerky is made of meat, but it's dry. Do you understand this explanation?"

Qian Zilin explained the jerky by the way.

"Can rice and meat be made like this?"

Tao Hua showed a shocked expression.

"If you're afraid you won't be able to eat it, then don't eat it. Anyway, I'm not the one who is hungry."

Qian Zilin rolled his eyes very slowly.

"It should be edible, it smells delicious."

After smelling the obvious fragrance, Qingxi couldn't help but interrupted.

"It's still you who are more discerning. I don't think you ate anything at night. Why don't you eat first and leave a little for them."

Qian Zilin patted Qingxi on the shoulder, smiling authentically.

"No, I'm not hungry, I'm just curious."

As soon as Qingxi finished speaking, her stomach made a rumbling sound.

"Whose stomach was growling just now?"

Qian Zilin looked at Zhu Qing, then at Tao Hua, pretending not to know that Qingxi's stomach was rumbling.

"Qingxi, come eat with us, these two foods are very dry, Tao Hua and I can't eat that much."

Zhu Qing smiled and took two and a half slap-sized rice crusts and handed them to Qingxi.

"Thank you... Sister Zhu Qing."

Qingxi took it and thanked shyly.

"Shouldn't you thank me?"

Qian Zilin's face darkened.

"Sorry, Qian Zilin... Brother Zilin."

Qingxi apologized to Qian Zilin in a panic.
