3659 Didn’t Have To
“Thank you for all your help, I am very grateful.” A voice that contained spirit energy came out of his mouth and clearly reached the ears of Feng Jiu and the others.
Upon hearing this, and seeing the man bow, Feng Jiu’s lips curled up but she didn’t say anything. It’s good that he knew to be grateful. There were many people who would be ungrateful even if they had received help.
“Patriarch, why are you thanking them? If they really wanted to save them, they wouldn’t have let Chengjun and Chenglin be bitten to this state before they took action!” The voice of the middle-aged man on the side contained anger as he didn’t think that those people had helped at all.
“Shut up!” The Patriarch of the Mu Family frowned and shouted in a deep voice. His sharp, majestic eyes swept over the middle-aged man: “Stand down!”
The middle-aged man was scolded in public and he looked a little embarrassed, but when he heard the warning, a cold look flashed across his eyes and he gritted his teeth to suppress the anger in his heart. He snorted coldly and stepped aside without speaking. However, his angry eyes were still staring at Feng Jiu and the others.
“Everyone, I have been too lenient with my subordinates, please do not take offense. We will take our leave first.” He bowed apologetically to Feng Jiu and the others, then led everyone away.
As he watched them leave, Du Fan glanced at them and said: “It’s not that he’s too lenient with his subordinates, it’s that he’s a good judge of character. With such a person by his side in this forest with fierce beasts rampant, something will happen sooner or later.”
“If something happens, it’s someone else’s business, what does it have to do with us?”
Wei Feng sneered. They weren’t kind-hearted people, so when they came to a place like this, they were prepared to suffer the consequences. What was the use of asking for help when you were in danger? It was better to count on yourself than to ask for help.
“Come on, let’s continue drinking.” Du Fan said, then he lifted up the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with Wei Feng, who was beside him, and said with a smile: “We can’t drink too much while we are outside, we will just finish this.”
Feng Jiu couldn’t help but smile when she saw everyone so relaxed. She drank another half a bowl of soup, then said to everyone: “I’m full, you continue!”
She got up first and went to lie down on the daybed nearby. She looked up at the sky in the forest. The stars were dotted and it seemed extremely peaceful. However, there were countless dangers that lurked under the peaceful night.
The people on the other side strengthened their guard after they had carried their injured members back. They set up boundary barriers and arrays to prevent danger from coming in the night.
At this time, the middle-aged man looked at their Patriarch and said angrily: “Patriarch, those people clearly didn’t come to their rescue, so why did you thank them? They watched without doing anything as Chengjun and Chenglin were torn apart by the fierce beasts. How can those people be kind-hearted?”
Patriarch Mu glanced at him and said in a deep voice: “If they hadn’t taken action, do you think the two of them would have survived? It is a fact that they saved them, we should be grateful. You should realise that it is their benevolence that saved them, they didn’t have to save them. After all, we are not anyone to them, and they don’t owe us anything.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was speechless for a while, he only felt anger that had nowhere to vent. What benevolence? Since they were going to save them, why didn’t they save them earlier? If they didn’t want to save them, why didn’t they just sit back and watch?
Patriarch Mu looked at him and frowned slightly, then said: “Third Brother, you are too short-tempered, remember to calm your mind.”
