Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

The group walked to the settlement point at the mouth of the valley.

Yu Luoning handed the Spirit Sealing Box to the elder in charge of accounting. The elder paused, looked up at Yu Luoning, and then at the inner disciple robes of Shi Shangxu standing behind her.

After a quick glance, he politely replied, "One hundred and twenty Dew-Condensing Grasses, all intact."

Yu Luoning was slightly surprised. Logically speaking, there should be some loss, but she didn't expect that the plant that Shi Shangxu dug up was not wasted.

Shi Shangxu bowed to Elder Shi and said, "Thank you, Elder!"

The elder nodded slightly.

One hundred and twenty plants can be exchanged for exactly twelve contribution points.

Each person gets exactly three contribution points, and she included Shi Shangxu in the calculation.

Prior to this, she had told Shi Shangxu that she had agreed with Mo Fei and Lu Mingyu that the profits from this mission would be split equally.

Shi Shangxu expressed his understanding and said he would not participate in sharing the contribution points, so Yu Luoning did not force him.

After all, the contribution points for inner disciples seem to be calculated using a different method, and in any case, they are definitely higher than those for outer disciples, especially since Shi Shangxu gave her 500 contribution points before.

This shows how good the benefits and treatment are for inner disciples.

Yu Luoning gritted her teeth, another day of tearfully envying the inner disciples.

"If my cousin isn't going to participate in the distribution, then we'll each get four contribution points."

After saying that, she was about to put the contribution points into the jade tokens they usually used to calculate contribution points.

Mo Fei and Lu Mingyu both waved their hands in unison:

"Don't give it to us, keep it for yourself."

Lu Mingyu: "Miss Luo Ning, please accept this."

Yu Luoning stood there stunned for a moment.

Dividing the twelve contribution points of the Dew Grass between the two people is just a formality.

As for the pile of monster hides, monster bones and flesh that she cut down, as well as the Seven-Leaf Jade Dew, Blood-Replenishing Lotus, and Azure Orchid Root that Shi Shangxu dug up extra, she wouldn't divide them equally.

But what's the situation now?

Yu Luoning: "No, what are you two doing? It's just four contribution points. We agreed to split them equally. If you don't want them, then I don't want the contribution points you dug up either."

Lu Mingyu lowered his head, his ears slightly red. He paused, then said in a very soft voice, "Actually, we dug some up before, but..."

Yu Luoning raised an eyebrow: "Just what?"

Mo Fei sighed and replied through gritted teeth, "It was stolen."

Murphy gets angry when he talks about this.

"We had dug up two hundred plants and were on our way back when a group of people surrounded us. We fought them, but we couldn't win, and all the spiritual herbs we were trying to protect were looted."

"Damn it, that Jiang bastard is shameless! If my grandpa were here, he'd beat that son of a bitch to death!"

Lu Mingyu's voice also lowered: "In the end, it's because our strength and cultivation are insufficient that we can't even protect our belongings."

It was Jiang Yuxing again!

Upon hearing this name, Yu Luoning's lips slowly curled into a smile.

Coincidentally, the shadow stone in her sleeve probably hasn't cooled down yet.

She patted Lu Mingyu on the shoulder, her tone relaxed: "It's not that you couldn't protect him, it's that you ran into that jerk, it's his problem."

Yu Luoning then asked, "Has Jiang Yuxing left yet?"

"Not yet. I just saw them queuing at the ferry dock, saying they were waiting for the next airship." Mo Fei frowned.

"That's perfect, let's go to the ferry too."

Mo Fei's eyes widened: "You're going to find him? Are you crazy? That guy has connections in the Upper Sect, we probably can't afford to offend him."

Lu Mingyu frowned as well: "Miss Lu Ming, there's no need to start another conflict. As for the contribution points..."

Yu Luoning snorted coldly: "We're just going to ask for an explanation; there won't be any conflict."

He turned his head and looked at the two of them with a smile, saying, "Do you two believe that Jiang Yuxing will return the contribution points with both hands? Not only that, but he will return double the amount."

Murphy's eyes widened: "How is that possible? We've offended him so badly before."

Lu Mingyu added, "Yes, Miss Luo Ning, Jiang Yuxing is narrow-minded; how could he possibly return it?"

Yu Luoning didn't say anything, she just smiled.

Shi Shangxu stood beside Yu Luoning, listened to these words, and simply lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

He noticed Ningning's confident expression.

Shi Shangxu pursed his lips, didn't ask any more questions, and simply tightened his grip on her hand.

"Come on, I'll go with you. We're both inner disciples, he won't dare to make a move."

Yu Luoning lowered her head, staring at the two people's tightly clasped hands, and couldn't help but smile.

She even called him a fool, but isn't he quite good at it?

Overnight, he grew bolder and even touched her hand.

Seemingly sensing that teasing gaze, Shi Shangxu's ears instantly turned bright red.

He felt a little embarrassed, but his heart was pounding.

His hand seemed rooted to the spot, refusing to let go, and instead slipped between her fingers, gripping her even tighter.

Seeing how cautious he was, Yu Luoning grasped his hand in return, seemingly to offer him some encouragement.

For him to take this step in broad daylight was already quite bold and courageous.

Mo Fei and Lu Mingyu were walking in front, grumbling and discussing things, completely unaware that the two behind them were being all lovey-dovey.

Flying boat ferry.

Jiang Yuxing stood in the ranks, dressed in a black robe, his face ashen, the usual dashing and cold smile on his face long gone.

Ye Yanshan stood beside him.

Ye Yanshan was dressed in a light red dress, with delicate features and a flustered expression.

After Jiang Yuxing came out of Yunyou Valley, he became very strange.

He used to be unfathomable, but at least his sinister aura was still under control. Now, however, the murderous intent emanating from his entire body was almost tangible, and he seemed to want to destroy everything.

That anger was not only violent, but also carried a kind of madness born from the trampling of dignity.

The atmosphere surrounding him was so terrifying that his relatives and friends wished they could stay as far away from him as possible.

Ye Yanshan, standing to the side, also fell silent.

She held her breath and quietly took a step to the side.

He glanced around nervously, only to find several figures approaching from a distance.

"Young master, it's them..."

Jiang Yuxing looked up and saw Yu Luoning leading three people walking towards him.

His pupils suddenly contracted as scenes from yesterday flashed through his mind like lightning, along with Cao Jinglei's disgusting face.

Jiang Yuxing's face turned from ashen to deathly pale, and he wished he could tear the intruder to pieces.

Yu Luoning smiled and walked up to him, stopping three steps away.

"Young Master Jiang, did you sleep well last night? Did you manage to use the restroom?"

Jiang Yuxing's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and his fingers inside his sleeves were clenched into a tight knot.

Yu Luoning continued, "I heard that you've taken a liking to my companion's herbs? Young Master Jiang is a sensible man, isn't he? These herbs were collected for a sect mission. We went through all that trouble, only to have them stolen by you. Is that fair? Please return the corresponding contribution points to us."

"Oh, right, I want double. Consider the extra as compensation."

"joke!"

Before Yu Luoning could finish speaking, Ye Yanshan stepped forward and gave a cold laugh.

The young master doesn't care about these contribution points, but she does.

In addition to paying a fixed amount of contribution points each month, these points can also be exchanged for cultivation resources such as elixirs and magical treasures within the sect.

These words were practically forcing her to part with the meat that was already in her mouth.

Yu Luoning wasn't annoyed and completely ignored her.

She just looked at Jiang Yuxing with a smile.
