They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

The next day, Lin Mo heard from Guzi that Yuanli had started to get closer to Yekai.

“Senior brother, it seems that the brothers on Qingzhu Peak are now siding with Brother Ye, and some disciples have even started to spread rumors about you, saying you’re cruel to your fellow disciples, lacking any compassion,” Guzi said, always defending Lin Mo.

Lin Mo replied indifferently, “Don’t worry about these things, let them be.”

“It’s just that I feel they don’t understand you, Senior Brother Lin, and they shouldn’t maliciously slander you.”

Lin Mo wasn’t surprised by these developments.

In the past, Qingzhu Peak was managed solely by the original master, and no disciple dared to disobey him.

Now, Yekai had lifted the punishment from Yuanli, establishing a second authority on Qingzhu Peak.

Compared to him, the cold-hearted, strict, and harsh eldest senior brother, those disciples would definitely choose the approachable, ‘kind’ Yekai.

“Alright, Guzi, I’ll be entering seclusion for cultivation for the next few days. Announce that I won’t see anyone.”

“Yes, Senior Brother!”

Lin Mo wouldn’t bother with the affairs of Qingzhu Peak anymore; his time was his own, naturally focusing on strengthening his cultivation.

Moreover, didn’t her master, True Person Yuehua, say it?

Cultivators should primarily focus on their cultivation.

Even if Qingzhu Peak encounters any insurmountable issues, don’t they still have Ye Kai?

As for the matter with Yuan Li, Lin Mo didn’t need to think to know how smug Ye Kai must be feeling inside.

Lin Mo could only sneer at this.

The original host was a pushover, and Lin Mo had his reasons for saying so.

Take Yuan Li’s case, for instance; the original host knew well Yuan Li’s character. Even if he forgave him time after time, Yuan Li would still continue to obsess over cultivation, neglecting the care of the spiritual fields and plants.

Therefore, the original host would make time every now and then to manage the spiritual fields and plants.

After all, the spiritual fields and plants are crucial to the daily operations of Qingzhu Peak, and the original host did not want any trouble arising from there.

Now, Lin Mo is not the original host, so naturally, he wouldn’t clean up after Yuan Li.

He was curious to see, without him, Lin Mo, how much the yield of the spiritual fields and plants would decrease.

These days, Lin Mo, having secluded himself for cultivation and no longer managing the affairs of Qingzhu Peak, found himself with an abundance of time.

In just half a month, not only had he solidified his own realm, but he had also advanced the “Three Thousand Sword Art” to the fifth level.

It was a modest boost to his own strength.

Meanwhile, without Lin Mo’s oversight, Shen Ke’er began to relax her training gradually.

Before, Lin Mo was always there to supervise her, but now that he was no longer managing her, she would go out and play with Ye Kai whenever they felt like it, looking very much like a couple in the throes of a passionate romance.

Today was the day Qingling Sect recruited new disciples, and also the day the previous batch of new disciples went out for their first experience.

Inside the great hall of Qingzhu Peak, True Person Yuehua gathered all the inner sect disciples.

In Qingling Sect, atop the twelve peaks, each peak master must send a disciple to lead the new disciples on their experience.

After scanning the crowd, True Person Yuehua said indifferently, “Who wishes to lead this time?”

Everyone averted their gaze; it was a thankless task. After all, among the last batch of disciples, many were from prestigious families, too arrogant for their own good, and very difficult to manage.

If anything went wrong, punishment would be inevitable.

They were reluctant to undertake such a burdensome and unrewarding task.

At this moment, Ye Kai stepped forward and said, “Master, the choice of leader is also a matter of face for our Qingzhu Peak. We must select a brother with a stable character and seasoned experience to go.”

With that, all eyes turned to Lin Mo.

Shen Ke’er chimed in, “In previous years, it seems Brother Lin always led the team. Among all of us disciples, only Brother Lin has the experience of leading, and his cultivation is also the highest. With Brother Lin leading, surely nothing will go wrong.”

Her thoughts were simple; these days, because Lin Mo was in seclusion, she wasn’t being managed, and she and Ye Kai didn’t know how happy they were.

Without training, without restraint, they could do whatever they wanted.

Now, as long as Lin Mo continued to lead the team, she could still enjoy such times.

However, she seemed to have forgotten what Lin Mo had said before.

Even if Lin Mo hadn’t gone into seclusion these days, he wouldn’t bother with Shen Ke’er.

“Yes, we all think Senior Brother Lin is very suitable,” the disciples echoed in agreement.

Yuehua truly turned her gaze to Lin Mo, who had not spoken: “Mo’er, what do you think?”

Lin Mo, expressionless, replied: “I leave it all to Master’s decision!”

This matter, indeed, he could not shirk.

Currently, none of the disciples of Qingzhu Peak had the ability to lead the team.

It was as if he was stepping out for a breath of fresh air; he too felt that it had been somewhat stifling on Qingzhu Peak lately.

The matter was thus settled, and in three days, Lin Mo would lead the new disciples on their training journey.

Early the next morning, while Lin Mo was still practicing his swordsmanship, he heard a commotion outside his dwelling.

Gu Zi opened the door, blocking Shen Ke’er: “Senior Brother Ye, Senior Sister Shen, Senior Brother Lin is practicing his sword and is not seeing visitors at this time.”

Hearing this, Shen Ke’er, bristling with anger, said: “I have business with Senior Brother, how dare an outer sect disciple block me?”

Gu Zi stood his ground: “I am simply following Senior Brother Lin’s instructions!”

Ye Kai, standing beside Shen Ke’er, then spoke up: “Are Senior Brother Lin’s words the only ones that matter, and ours do not?”

Gu Zi, not one for words, still insisted: “I am simply following Senior Brother Lin’s instructions; if the senior brother and sister wish to see him, they must wait outside!”

“Fine, fine, fine!” Shen Ke’er’s anger subsided, when had she ever needed to wait to see Lin Mo: “If you don’t move aside, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Gu Zi’s stance was resolute, showing no sign of stepping aside.

Seeing this, Shen Ke’er said no more, and with a palm infused with spiritual power, she struck towards Gu Zi.

Although she held back, the palm could still severely injure Gu Zi.

This served as a lesson for the outer sect disciple who lacked foresight.

Facing the palm, Gu Zi was terrified to the extreme.

As a Qi-refining stage cultivator, how could he dodge?

He closed his eyes in fear, thinking his end had come.

But then, a figure stepped in front of him.

Lin Mo grabbed Shen Ke’er’s wrist, his voice cold: “What’s all this commotion?”

Shen Ke’er withdrew her hand, pointing at Gu Zi: “Senior Brother Lin, this outer sect disciple is so blind, I have business with you, and he dares to block my way.”

Lin Mo’s voice was cold: “I asked him to stand guard here, is there a problem?”

Shen Ke’er, as if it were her due, said: “But he blocked me.”

Lin Mo’s gaze, icy as he stared into Shen Ke’er’s eyes: “And what of it?”

Shen Ke’er was at a loss for words, not knowing how to retort.

She hadn’t expected that her senior brother would take such an attitude for an outer sect disciple.

Has her senior brother really drifted so far away from her…

In the midst of her fluttering heart.

A voice, still devoid of any emotion, rang out: “Speak if you have business!”
