Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

"This is..." Mo Qiu Shuang grabbed the thing in her hand.

"This is the clothes of an outer disciple. Why are they so torn? How could Jiang Han have the clothes of an outer disciple?" Xia Qianqian was a little confused.

"This is the clothes he exchanged with an outer disciple using the spiritual fruits he picked from the mountains when he first came here..." Mo Qiu Shuang recalled the situation at that time.

"Yes, that was the clothes he was wearing at the time. They were too big, so he cut them short himself and put them on. It looked weird, and the master saw it and scolded him."

Xia Qianqian was puzzled. "The clothes of direct disciples are much better than those of outer disciples. Why is he wearing such tattered clothes?"

Mo Qiu Shuang gave Xia Qianqian a complicated look.

"Have you ever sent him any clothes?"

"Why should I send him clothes? He is so dirty. I don't want to touch his things. How could I possibly send him clothes!" Xia Qianqian looked disgusted.

"That's it." Mo Qiushuang frowned. "He didn't have a storage bag before. He's just a few years old. How can he wear clothes if we don't give him clothes?"

"Haven't you noticed he's never worn the clothes of a direct disciple? He used to wear animal skins, and later on, he wore clothes bought at the market down the mountain. They were mortal clothes that didn't even have a cleaning array!"

"It's not just clothes. Look at the cave he lives in. It's full of tattered things. There's not even a single valuable thing."

"You're such a dirtbag! It's not like you don't have any spirit stones, but why can't you even afford to buy some nice clothes? You're such a stingy person."

Xia Qianqian didn't care. "Besides, isn't this what the deacon disciples are supposed to do? If he needs anything, just tell the deacon hall. If he doesn't tell us himself, why should we care?"

"He might not be unwilling to tell." Mo Qiushuang pondered for a moment, "Call the deacon disciple and ask him, and we'll know."

After she finished speaking, she took out the sound transmission jade slip and called the deacon disciple.

"Sister."

"Junior Brother Lu, are you responsible for Jiang Han's daily life?"

"Senior Brother Jiang?" Lu Fei was stunned, then looked at Xia Qianqian cautiously.

Xia Qianqian raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Why are you looking at me! Just answer whatever I ask you!"

Mo Qiu Shuang glared at Xia Qianqian and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Lu, just tell me straight away. I promise Junior Sister Xia won't make things difficult for you."

Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Senior Sister. I should be responsible for Senior Brother Jiang's daily life."

"However, not long after I started, when I was delivering the necessary supplies for a personal disciple to Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Xia saw me."

"Senior Sister Xia said that since Senior Brother Jiang hasn't held his apprenticeship ceremony yet, he's not worthy of wearing the clothes or using the belongings of a direct disciple. So, she let me take all the clothes and belongings back, and she no longer has to be responsible for Senior Brother Jiang's daily expenses."

Mo Qiushuang's eyes widened. "So, Jiang Han has been living alone since he came up the mountain?"

"He was only five years old at the time! How dare you? Junior Sister Xia said not to interfere, and you just ignored it?"

"Senior Sister, please spare my life!" Lu Fei was shocked and cold sweat poured down his face.

"Senior Sister, calm down. I've already told you about this. You told me not to worry about him. You also said that the mountain has plenty of spiritual energy and it won't freeze anyone to death. This is a good opportunity to use the cold air to strengthen your body while you're weak, so you won't get sick easily in the future."

"I..." Mo Qiushuang paused, then angrily shouted, "I told you not to interfere, and you're not going to interfere?"

"Master Sister, calm down. I am just a chores disciple. Naturally, I obey your orders. I dare not act on my own."

Lu Fei lowered his head, complaining in his heart that he was just a menial disciple, and whatever you said was what he had to do. If I hadn't listened to you, I would have been beaten to death by you long ago.

Mo Qiu Shuang was very angry. She felt that the state of mind that she had finally calmed down after these days of seclusion was shattered in an instant.

"Then why isn't he wearing shoes? I remember he was barefoot when I first met him. He wouldn't be without shoes, right?"

Lu Fei lowered his head and thought for a long time before speaking cautiously.

"Senior Brother Jiang has shoes, but he hasn't worn them. You told him at the time that wearing shoes is not conducive to understanding the universe. Only by going barefoot can one better connect with the energy of heaven and earth and comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth."

Mo Qiu Shuang was confused. She had just said it casually at the time. Could it be that Jiang Han took it seriously?

"He hasn't been wearing shoes. Is his foot okay?"

Lu Fei was a little surprised. "How could he be fine? During that time, Senior Brother Jiang injured his feet every day in order to find food in the mountains. His soles are covered with scars."

"However, Senior Brother Jiang is very talented. He prepared some herbs to treat his injuries himself. After he developed calluses, he rarely got injured again."

"A few years ago, one day, Senior Brother Jiang suddenly came down the mountain and used the spiritual herbs and fruits he had gathered to buy himself a lot of clothes and shoes. Only then did he change out of the animal skin clothes he was wearing."

"how so?!!"

Mo Qiu Shuang was deeply traumatized. She never expected that just a few words from her could cause such great harm to Jiang Han.

At that time, he was just a five-year-old child, an age when he should have been loved and pampered, but he was left in the mountains to fend for himself.

Not only did they not have any warm clothes, they couldn't even wear shoes to protect their feet, and they had to pick wild fruits in the mountains to fill their stomachs.

Mo Qiu Shuang took a deep breath, waved her hand to drive Lu Fei away, and returned to Jiang Han's cave in a daze.

"This Jiang Han is such a loser." Xia Qianqian looked displeased.

"Who is he pretending to be pitiful for? Senior Sister just casually said that he should contemplate the world, and he deliberately went barefoot? Isn't he just trying to get everyone to see him and deliberately go against Senior Sister?"

"He's just a mud-legged kid from the mountains, so stupid that he only brings shame to his master. I really don't know why his master brought him up the mountain."

When Mo Qiu Shuang heard this, she felt a chill in her heart. Why didn't she realize before that Fifth Junior Sister was so mean?

"He might just be too scared to disobey us."

Mo Qiu Shuang stroked a wooden sword on the stone cabinet. This was the wooden sword she had carved when she was tempering her mind.

After Jiang Han saw it, he kept begging her for it all day long. She was annoyed and just threw it to him. She didn't expect that he could preserve it so well, it was almost as good as new.

"Over the years, Master has never asked about Jiang Han, and the same goes for the other junior sisters. No one has ever cared about Jiang Han."

"This cave was previously abandoned. I remember it was half collapsed. Jiang Han cleaned it up and lived here himself."

"Our caves are all built near spiritual veins and spiritual springs, and the spiritual energy inside has turned into substance. Look at his cave, it's far away from the spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy is thin. It's not even as good as the caves of the casual cultivators at the foot of the mountain."

"He claims to be the master's direct disciple, but he has never enjoyed the treatment of a direct disciple."

"We have ten new sets of Xuan-level fifth-grade clothes, shoes, and accessories every year. As long as there are new styles, they will be sent to us."

"But what about Jiang Han? He even has to painstakingly pick spiritual fruits to exchange for a set of ordinary outer disciples' clothes. If the master sees him, he will be scolded."

"And these are just what we saw. How much suffering did he endure in Lingtian Sect for so many years?"

Xia Qianqian was speechless, but still spoke up.

"He was deliberately going against us and didn't want to use it himself. The sect has a monthly allowance, and direct disciples can get 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones every month, and they can also get new clothes every month. It's not our fault that he didn't use it himself."

"Junior Sister Xia, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Mo Qiu Shuang cast a few more protective restrictions on the sword body, and then carefully put it back in place.

"When have you ever seen a deacon or disciple deliver his monthly allowance to him?"

"When Master accepted him as his disciple, he said that Jiang Han's aptitude was not good, and his spiritual roots were not compatible with our Lingtian Sect's cultivation methods. It would be difficult for him to achieve great success in the future."

"So, in order to avoid wasting the sect's resources, we have to wait until he reaches the Qi Refining Stage through perseverance before we give him cultivation techniques and resources. Before that, he will get nothing."

"Ah?" Xia Qianqian was stunned. How could she practice without any skills or resources?

"Spiritual roots are not compatible? Then why bring him back?" she muttered softly.

"But he has already reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. Master should have given him the skills and resources a long time ago, right?"

"Probably not." Mo Qiu Shuang took a deep breath.

"You may not have noticed, but I'm quite sensitive to matters of cultivation. The technique Jiang Han practices is just the Yellow Rank, First Grade Qi Refining Technique commonly used in the world of cultivation. It's not the Sky Rank, Ninth Grade technique, the Lingtian Treasure Codex, which can only be practiced by direct disciples."

"I suspect that the master never gave him the skills and resources. The master probably forgot about it a long time ago."

The more Mo Qiu Shuang spoke, the more certain she became that Jiang Han had been acting strangely lately. He had always been timid and cowardly in the past.

This time, in front of the master, he was not afraid at all and said so many outrageous words.

Combined with his sudden disappearance this time, this matter is definitely not simple.

If he hadn't been disappointed again and again, he would never have dared to be so crazy.

Could it be that he was too disappointed in them and cut off contact because he thought he would never come back?

Thinking of this, Mo Qiu Shuang became a little anxious. Although Jiang Han was indeed annoying, he had been with her for thirteen years after all, and he was the child she had watched grow up, so she had some feelings for him.

Moreover, he was the direct disciple of the Lingtian Sect's leader. If he left like this, how would others view the Lingtian Sect?

Lingtian Sect has never had a disciple defecting, and she will never allow such a thing to happen!

If they really did something wrong, she was willing to compensate him later. She hoped that Jiang Han was just going out to relax and not do anything stupid.

"Let's go ask Master. If Jiang Han really has no resources for cultivation and has been bullied by us for so long, I'm afraid something bad will happen if we let him go down the mountain this time."

"Who bullied him?" Xia Qianqian curled her lips, "I was just joking with him."

"Look, isn't he having a lot of fun? Every time I hit him, he's smiling. It's obvious he's having a lot of fun."

Mo Qiu Shuang was furious and slapped Xia Qianqian on the forehead.

"You're the best fighter. I'll settle the score with you later. Come with me to see the master!"
