One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!

Ma Xianhong and Zhang Chulan have finished their discussion.

Ma Xianhong appeared resolute and at ease.

Zhang Chulan ended up in jail.

"Ma Xianhong was already a difficult problem, and now Master Li is causing trouble. Life is just unbearable."

However, after much persuasion, Zhang Chulan managed to convince Ma Xianhong.

Neither side made a move, maintaining a delicate balance.

Although the senior members and the temporary workers didn't think much of each other, they maintained a superficial peace for the sake of Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong.

If we say that the biggest beneficiary of the Luotian Grand Ritual is "Brother Zhengliang, who made 500 yuan a night", then...

Therefore, the biggest beneficiary in Biyou Village is none other than Zhuge Qing, the "star" of "Wang Ye's Spring Outing Picture".

"Knock knock knock".

In the kitchen, Fu Rong, who had previously used an extremely dangerous Wind-Breaking Blade to kill Li Buren, was now chopping white radishes.

A series of intermittent sounds were heard, followed by an abrupt end.

The knife made a dull thud as it hit the cutting board.

The white radish unfolded with a snap, its thin and thick slices perfectly cut.

"Incredible skill, truly incredible skill!"

A handsome, rich, and blue-haired young man was squatting next to the cutting board, praising it incessantly.

Fu Rong couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, you rich kid are interested in these kinds of things?"

"I thought you only frequented high-end restaurants and never lifted a finger, so you didn't know anything about these things."

Zhuge Qing changed his expression.

"I really have no interest in or knowledge of these things in the kitchen."

"But..."

"It's you I want to understand!"

Zhuge Qing suddenly looked at Fu Rong, his bright eyes filled with sincerity.

"I'm not really interested in those external things; the only person I want to understand is you!"

Fu Rong blushed slightly, but still let out a soft hum.

"You smooth talker! I really regret not cutting you in half back then!"

Zhuge Qing looked serious.

"I'm serious!"

He clutched his chest, feigning heartbreak.

"If you cut it open from here, you'll see that my heart is filled entirely with you!"

"Fu Rong!"

Fu Rong was taken aback, then burst into exaggerated laughter.

"Are all rich kids this good at flirting?"

"Get out of here!"

With a kick from Fu Rong, Zhuge Qing was sent flying.

The ever-victorious rich second-generation playboy scratched his head, muttering to himself as he swaggered out.

"It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting woman."

Inside the room, Fu Rong and Xiao Xiao Wu Kui looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh no! Oh no! Something's going to happen to the village!"

"This is terrible!!!"

Fu Rong's mind was in turmoil, as if she was struggling with something.

"It's alright, Wu Kui. Those outsiders won't pose any threat to us."

Wu Kui shook his head and pointed at Zhuge Qing's departing figure.

"I mean, a super, incredibly scumbag guy has come to the village!!!"

...

"So, that Chen Duo girl, what's her name? She's having such a miserable time?"

Inside the room, Li Buren and Wang Ye sat together.

After listening to Li Buren recount Chen Duo's experiences, Wang Ye fell silent.

"This world is really quite bad."

"Does a person not even have the right to choose for themselves...?"

I thought about it for a long time.

Wang Ye thought for a moment and said, "One thing at a time, senior brother, what Ma Xianhong did has a really big impact."

"Chen Duo may have room for maneuver, but his self-cultivation furnace and his plan are not."

Thinking back to the later events, Ma Xianhong was deceived by the master strategist Qu Tong and had his eyes gouged out.

Li Buren gave a faint "hmm".

"He was just a pitiful person, a pitiful person struggling in the hands of others."

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Zhang Chulan pushed open the door and entered, looking at Li Buren and Wang Ye.

"You mean, Lao Qing has already joined Biyou Village?"

Zhang Chulan looked gloomy, but fortunately Wang Ye told him that Li Buren, like him, only wanted to save Chen Duo.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard that Lao Qing has already gone over to help with that body-refining furnace?"

"Yeah, that Ma Xianhong seems to have called Zhuge Qing over early this morning, and he's making quite a fuss about it."

Zhang Chulan sighed softly.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing, if Lao Qing can hold off Ma Xianhong."

"This will also give us more time and opportunities to learn about the situation in Biyou Village."

"But to be honest, I'm not very familiar with these temporary workers. I'm afraid things will get very chaotic this time."

...

"Old Meng, Brother Xiao, Qiu'er, Hei Guan, and Er Zhuang..."

Li couldn't bear to wander around the village.

While doing so, I counted the temporary workers who came this time.

As Li Buren strolled around, he suddenly spotted a man in the distance who was also wearing a Taoist robe, but was clearly older.

"Zhao Guizhen?"

Li couldn't bear to look at it from afar, and left without lingering.

Zhao Guizhen, who was in the distance, also looked over in this direction with a puzzled expression, and then turned and left.

Li Buren was not just wandering around aimlessly; he had his own purpose and ideas.

In a field, he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and with a hunched back struggling to climb up a loose embankment.

"Old Meng?"

Li couldn't bear it, so he walked straight over and helped the somewhat disheveled middle-aged man.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Li Buren of Wudang."

Li Buren had a very good impression of Lao Meng.

You can see many flaws in this man: cowardice, introversion, timidity, and even a bit of a lack of temper.

But at the same time, you can also see almost all the good qualities of a man in this man.

A sense of responsibility, principles, kindness, compassion, tolerance, and the courage to act when necessary.

Old Meng hurriedly adjusted his glasses and rubbed his hands vigorously on his clothes before grasping Li Buren's outstretched hand.

"Oh, just call me Lao Meng. I've heard of you, Master Li of Wudang, from the Luotian Grand Ceremony."

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you..."

Old Meng was noticeably reserved, but Li Buren seemed particularly outgoing.

After a brief introduction, he walked alongside Lao Meng in a very familiar manner.

"So, Master Li, you're Zhang Chulan's friend? Does that mean you've just arrived here too?"

"Yes, not much earlier than you guys. By the way, what are you going there for?"

Old Meng twisted his body and subconsciously walked to the side.

"No, nothing..."

"You're looking for Chen Duo, aren't you?"

Seeing that Lao Meng was about to leave, Li couldn't bear it and stopped him with a single sentence.

Old Meng also stopped in his tracks instantly and walked a few steps to Li Buren.

"How...how do you know about Chen Duo?!"

"Have you joined Biyou Village?!"

Li Buren was somewhat surprised. Just a moment ago, Old Meng had been timid and hesitant in front of him, even bowing his head when he spoke. Now, however, Old Meng was exuding a dangerous aura towards him.

The small eyes behind those thick lenses became incredibly sharp.

"That's right, that's the Old Meng I remember."

Li couldn't bear it, so he put his hand on Lao Meng's shoulder.

"I did not join Biyou Village, nor do I have any ill intentions towards Chen Duo."

"I share your thoughts; I just want to give Chen Duo a way to choose her own life."

"You may have the will but not the ability, but I am different; I may be able to do it."

Old Meng pushed up his glasses.

"Of course, I'll also need your help, Lao Meng, when the time comes."
