Don't Believe the Rumors

"Of course, of course!"

"Our Sunshine Island has always been like a big family. We're especially friendly to outsiders!"

Seeing Yi Feng looking over, Luo Pengfei quickly responded.

Among the three sect masters, his cultivation was the lowest, and his sect was at a disadvantage. Over the years, he had developed extraordinary observation skills and high emotional intelligence.

In this situation, he knew exactly what to say.

Another sect master, Xu Baichuan, was already white - haired and had a more sophisticated and scheming mind.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled and bowed, looking calm.

"Sect Master Luo is right. Our Sunshine Island has always been well - known for being charitable and helpful. Since sir needs this thing, we'll naturally give it to you. This way, we can avoid conflicts and make friends at the same time. Why not do it?"

As he spoke, Old Xu glanced sideways with a smile.

"I wonder what Sect Master Lu thinks?"

These words were full of implications.

Lu Renkuang was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly.

This old thing!

He knew that the Soul - calming Grass had already fallen into someone else's hands, yet he still rubbed salt into the wound and even fanned the flames. How despicable!

Having dominated Sunshine Island for thousands of years, Lu Renkuang had never suffered such humiliation.

But he was also a tough and unyielding person. He knew exactly what to say.

Immediately, he forced a smile, bowed, and replied, "Of course, our Sunshine Island is as harmonious and friendly as the others have said."

Hearing what the three sect masters said, Yi Feng pinched the corner of his clothes. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

Damn it. What kind of thing is this?

He thought he would be beaten to death for robbing something, but unexpectedly, the other side directly gave the treasure to him.

He came to a chaotic place, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a place full of love and friendship.

What should he do?

But thinking carefully, it didn't make sense.

Even in the most harmonious and friendly place, there's no way they would directly give the precious auction item to the robber.

"Are you really going to give away such a precious treasure?"

Yi Feng squinted his eyes and asked again.

"Sir, it's just a small grass. You're new here and you've shown that you need it. Naturally, we'll give it to you," Elder Chen said with a smile. "This is the long - standing fine tradition of our Sunshine Island."

"I don't just need it. I came here to rob it," Yi Feng said, squinting.

Something was wrong.

It was really too strange.

He had to find out.

"What are you talking about, sir? Your coming to rob it just shows that you need it," Luo Pengfei continued.

"Exactly. If you come to rob it, it means you must have an urgent need. Who would rob a treasure for no reason if they didn't need it?"

"Helping others in their urgent need is a good deed. We're happy to see it happen!"

For a moment, they vied with each other to express their opinions.

The whole place was filled with harmony, and the atmosphere was extremely warm, even more heart - warming than the Spring Festival Gala in his previous life.

Yi Feng was suddenly at a loss for words.

Damn it...

He even felt a little touched and embarrassed.

It turned out that there were really people in the world who could repay hatred with kindness and subdue others with virtue.

At the same time, Yi Feng also felt extremely embarrassed. He felt like he could dig a garden villa with his feet.

Recalling the previous rumors, there were ten thousand alpacas galloping in his heart!

They said that people could be beaten to death in the Treasure Pavilion. Which bastard spread such a rumor!

He was about to say something in defense.

Chen Jiudao quickly waved his hand!

"Sir, please don't decline!"

"I understand your difficulties, sir. Please accept this thing quickly. Don't let our good intentions go to waste!"

His loud voice echoed, and everyone in the field echoed!

"Sir, please accept it quickly!"

"If you don't accept it, we'll be unable to eat or sleep in peace."

The urgent tone was full of concern, and the expectant looks were full of kindness.

It seemed that if he didn't accept the treasure, these people would continue to persuade him. They were like simple rural villagers, with every word and deed full of sincere kindness, giving gifts without expecting anything in return.

Could villains show such genuine emotions?

Yi Feng couldn't help but be moved. He felt mixed emotions.

They were all good people.

Although it was a big misunderstanding that made him disappointed and embarrassed, he was also very touched to have met so many good people.

There were still more good people in the world.

Although this was in the so - called Sea of Sin, there was still a place that remained untainted by the filth.

Rumors were really unreliable. One had to see things with their own eyes!

Filled with emotion, Yi Feng bowed sincerely.

"Thank you all."

Looking at the old man who gave the gift, Yi Feng was especially grateful. Whether the old man cared or not, and whether he could really repay the kindness, he remembered this act of kindness.

"Thank you for the gift."

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Hearing this, Chen Jiudao beamed with joy.

Behind him, Lu Xinlan also showed surprise in her eyes!

Amid the words of thanks from the two, Yi Feng was respectfully sent off. Everyone behind him followed closely, and there were continuous sounds of farewell!

"Sir, take your time!!!"

The passers - by were extremely frightened by such a scene. They looked on from afar in fear and amazement.

In front of the Treasure Pavilion.

Yi Feng also turned back, clasped his fists, and said goodbye with a smile.

After turning around and taking a step, he put away his smile. Suddenly, he felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness. He held the Soul - calming Grass and looked around.

Where was Bao Congxin?

He walked a few steps through the crowd.

After looking around for a while, he finally saw the guy.

His chubby figure was hiding at the alley entrance, peeping. He was staring blankly with a nervous look on his face, like a frightened hamster.

Seeing his timid look again, Yi Feng waved his hand helplessly.

After calling him several times.

Bao Congxin's eyes lit up. He looked around several times before daring to step forward bravely. While bowing, he stammered, "E, En, Benefactor!"

This guy was really a coward...

Yi Feng looked at him with a complicated expression and finally understood the truth that a person's name suits their character.

As he walked forward, he asked tentatively again, "Brother Bao, did you hear about the incident at the Treasure Pavilion or witness it with your own eyes? Did you exaggerate?"

Hearing this, Bao Congxin was stunned for a moment and quickly bowed.

"Benefactor, you know my cultivation is low. How dare I go to the Treasure Pavilion? Naturally, I heard about it. But I didn't exaggerate!"

Under Yi Feng's suspicious look, Bao Congxin blushed and scratched his head.

"I added a little, just a little..."

"That day, I heard that someone was beaten out of the Treasure Pavilion. I accidentally said that someone was beaten to death in the Treasure Pavilion. I can swear to heaven that there's no more falsehood!"

Hearing this, Yi Feng stopped and sighed.

Alas.

Sure enough, it was a rumor.

Rumors would become more and more exaggerated. By the time it reached Bao Congxin, no one knew how many times it had been exaggerated. Maybe there was just a little argument in the Treasure Pavilion at the beginning...

The truth was revealed, and Yi Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Bao Congxin was very nervous and asked carefully while bowing, "Benefactor, why do you ask about this? There were so many people in front of the Treasure Pavilion just now that I couldn't even see the door. Was there something big going on today?"

Yi Feng waved the Soul - calming Grass in his hand and replied casually, "It's nothing big. I just went there to rob something."

Hearing this, Bao Congxin turned pale with fright.

"R, Robbing?!"

He stood there stiffly for a few moments. Looking at Yi Feng's calm back as he walked away, he finally managed to come to his senses and chased after him with a smile.

"Benefactor, you're really good at joking..."

The two walked away one after the other, and their figures gradually disappeared from sight.

Outside the Treasure Pavilion.

The big shots who had been standing there stiffly let out a long sigh of relief, as if they had been granted amnesty. At the moment when the experts of various sects were still in shock.

Chen Jiudao signaled with his eyes, and the surrounding passers-by were all cleared away by the guards. Then, he unleashed an extraordinary aura of coercion, which sent everyone scurrying back into the Wanbao Pavilion.

"Everyone," he said.

"Today's matter concerns the reputation of the Wanbao Pavilion. I hope you won't spread it outside. Otherwise, don't blame this old man for being merciless!"
