Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"Wow, so beautiful."

"This is the flower of the sacred tree. It is so beautiful."

"Master, Master, you just said that the sacred tree is so powerful, what's the use of the sacred flower?" The two newly recruited cheap apprentices came to Doctor Li, hugged his arms, blinked their big eyes, and no matter how they looked at the fluorescent flower in Doctor Li's palm, they couldn't get enough of it, they almost glued their eyeballs to their heads.

Doctor Li saw the two new disciples, both of whom were eager to learn. Their eyes were clear and transparent, like bright pearls. Only the light of the fluorescent flower was reflected in their eyes, without any covetous look. Doctor Li laughed happily, "Silly disciples, the sacred tree is spiritual. This flower is just a decoration of the sacred tree. It does not have the magical power of the sacred tree's branches."

The two children had good temperaments. They had just heard the story of the legendary sacred tree. They only had curiosity about this extraordinary thing, but not a single bit of greed. Although it might be related to their young age, with such pure hearts, Doctor Li was very confident that as long as he taught them well and with the positive guidance of the two children's families, these two disciples would never disappoint him like the previous ones.

"Come, Master will give the flowers to you two. I hope my disciples will have a bright future. They should care about the common people and vow to guard the light of life." Doctor Li personally handed the flowers to Xiao Si and Xiao Wu and asked them to accept them.

The two little guys widened their eyes in surprise and almost shook their heads like rattles.

No, no, my parents said that we can't just accept things from others. Besides, this flower is so beautiful, and it looks like it is super, super valuable. They don't dare to just accept it, or their parents will break their legs.

Doctor Li smiled even more. He really liked these two disciples. So, regardless of how they refused, he took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, carefully wrapped the fluorescent flower, and handed it to Lin Xiaoyue who was looking up at the tree. "Come, Third girl, accept it for your two sisters. This is my gift to my disciples. I won't let you two refuse."

Lin Xiaoyue was still looking up at the glowing tree, and before she could come to her senses, a handkerchief was suddenly stuffed into her hand... Why did they keep all these things in her hands? Her space was offline and she had no place to put them.

However, when the thing came into her hands, she accepted it without any hesitation. She didn't even try to refuse it politely or put on a show.

Just kidding, it was the return gift from Doctor Li to Xiao Si and Xiao Wu (although Xiao Si and Xiao Wu still owed them the gift of becoming disciples). She was just collecting it on his behalf. Why should she be so polite?

I was thinking that I would wait until the space was online and look carefully to see if there was anything in the space that was suitable for giving to the fourth and fifth children as a gift. After all, I couldn't let the two children develop the idea of ​​taking advantage without giving back, that would be bad.

The movement she took to put away the divine flower was incredibly smooth, without any hesitation, which deeply hurt some people's eyes.

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Miao's eyebrows twitched. Seeing that the third girl accepted the things without any hesitation, they intuitively felt that this was inappropriate, but Lin Zhaodi pulled them back, indicating that there were so many people around watching, and Doctor Li had clearly said that the things were for the fourth and fifth children, so they couldn't push the things back and forth, and Doctor Li would be unhappy.

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Miao looked at each other, always feeling that it shouldn't be like this, but it seemed that what their daughters said made sense. After hesitating for a long time, the two simply let their daughters do as they pleased.

Everyone was frightened out of their wits by Luo Qianqian's terrible screams. Now they calmed down and listened to Doctor Qiao and Doctor Li's clear and reasonable explanations. Their attitude towards the glowing tree changed immediately and they were no longer afraid. But some were curious, some admired, some were shocked, and some were greedy. In short, everyone had their own thoughts, and they all showed on their faces at this moment.

"Since the sacred tree is like this, why don't we each break off a branch and carry it with us, so that we can protect ourselves in case anything happens?" Xiaoqiao's abrupt words broke the solemn atmosphere among the crowd. A greedy look flashed across his eyes, and he encouraged with a surprised tone.

"Haha, you ignorant boy." Doctor Qiao did not hide his disdain for him and scolded him harshly, "The sacred tree is spiritual. If it is not given by the sacred tree voluntarily, anyone who dares to take it at will will be punished by heaven. For example, if you pray to the gods for blessings and protection, can you force them to bless you? You ignorant boy is so bold, don't let greed cloud your mind, or you will end up losing more than you gain."

Doctor Qiao had seen many such cunning and short-sighted people, so he particularly disliked Xiaoqiao's words. He immediately retorted and scolded Xiaoqiao, making him shrink his neck in embarrassment and hide behind the Niu couple.

The Niu couple were simple-minded people. They just thought Xiaoqiao was a girl who was happy to see new and beautiful things, just like a little girl in the village who wanted to pick beautiful flowers and wear them in her hair when she saw them in the mountains. They did not realize that the person hiding behind them was looking at Lin Xiaoyue with covetous eyes...

After being forced to keep the fluorescent flower, Lin Xiaoyue had already come back to her senses from the wonders of nature. She felt an unfriendly gaze falling on her. She glanced over sharply and happened to see Xiaoqiao in the crowd without time to look away.

Xiaoqiao didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to be so sharp. She was caught suddenly. Frightened, Xiaoqiao quickly hid behind the Niu couple, covering her frightened chest and cursing secretly.

He has the desire to steal, but not the courage. Lin Xiaoyue sneered and stopped paying attention to the coward.

Chun Xing looked up at the tree for a long time, but the tree showed no sign of giving her a fluorescent flower. Her face fell and she pouted, looking unhappy. She walked slowly to the side of Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, and discussed with the twins that she wanted to see if the divine flower could be given to her at any time, just to satisfy her craving.

After the third sister accepted the magic flower on their behalf as a matter of course, the two little ones had an expression like the idiotic sons of a landlord, dumb and stupid. They didn't know anything else, but since the third sister accepted it, it meant that the flower was theirs. How could they not be secretly happy?

The two little kids, whose hearts were filled with joy, were so pleased when they heard Chun Xing's hesitant pleading that they nodded generously at Chun Xing, saying that they would show it to her when no one was watching.

The two little guys were very shrewd, and they also knew that wealth should not be shown to others. They were afraid that the magic flower would be snatched away by others, so they agreed with sister Chun Xing to share it with her in private when no one was around.

As for why they guarded against others but not Chun Xing, it was because they knew what was going on. Chun Xing usually treated them well, not only caring and protecting them like a sister, but she also taught them how to make ointment to treat lice.
