Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 82: Faithfully Reported

“Long time no see, I’ve brought you some food.” Lu Yang’s attitude was amiable, a result of his training at the barbeque shop.

After more than a month of practice, Lu Yang’s fake smile was so convincing that Meng Jingzhou praised his smile for being as genuine as his own.

Chi Xulong was in the middle of pouting when he heard Lu Yang’s voice. He rapidly turned his head, malice in his eyes. If it weren’t for you calling the constables over to eat, how would I have ended up in this mess?

“Why are you here?” Chi Xulong’s tone was harsh. The first time I saw this fellow, he tricked me by pretending to be an examiner. During the meal a few days ago, he even set me up. He’s full of evil ideas. And now he’s being a hypocrite by bringing food? He’s definitely up to no good!

Compared to a ruthless murderer like himself, Chi Xulong felt that Lu Yang was even more despicable and shameless!

Lu Yang had no intention of playing with Chi Xulong in prison. All of us still have to help each other out in the future. There’s no point in straining our relationship. This is also the branch leader’s wish.

However, Lu Yang’s hearing might not have been the best, and he misheard Chi Xulong asking him whether he had become an administrator. “What? How did you know that I’ve been promoted to an administrator? But don’t be too agitated. As long as you perform well, you can also become an administrator.”

I didn’t expect Chi Xulong to be so well-informed even in prison.

Lu Yang even took out his waist tablet to flaunt, the characters for “administrator” extremely striking. Chi Xulong almost had fumes emitting from his head. “The heavens must be blind!”

Lu Yang tried to comfort him, “Don’t be angry. The branch leader also sent me here with a message for you.”

Hearing that Branch Leader Chu had a message for him, Chi Xulong calmed down a little. The branch leader still values me greatly to personally send a message. “What did he say?”

“He said that it’s best that you try to build rapport with me.”

Chi Xulong flew into a rage. The branch leader really thinks highly of this fellow. “I’d rather die than get along with you!”

Seeing how Chi Xulong blatantly disobeyed the branch leader’s instructions, Lu Yang sighed and left the food before leaving.

The prisoners drooled when they caught a whiff of the food’s aroma. They couldn’t get such delicious food in prison.

Lu Yang was much kinder to the others, encouraging them to reform themselves properly in prison and strive to turn over a new leaf after their release so that they could benefit the Central Continent. His words were filled with so much concern that people might have misunderstood that the prisoners would be staying in prison for at least ten years.

After leaving the prison, Lu Yang faithfully reported to Branch Leader Chu about his work updates. “I brought food to visit Chi Xulong in prison and said that there have been some misunderstandings between us. All of us are fellow companions, and we’ll be working with each other in the future, so building rapport would make our work more convenient. I stressed that this was your instruction, and I even mentioned that as long as he performs well, he can also become an administrator just like me.

“I didn’t expect Chi Xulong to fly into a rage and start cursing, claiming that the reason I became an administrator was that someone was blind. He declared that he’d rather die than get along with me. I don’t remember his exact words, but this was the general gist.”

Branch Leader Chu’s gaze immediately turned frigid. “Who did he say was blind?!”

Lu Yang hurriedly bowed. He gingerly raised his head to look at Branch Leader Chu and replied in trepidation, “That person’s position is too high, and it’ll be too disrespectful. I don’t dare to say.”

Branch Leader Chu had already formed an answer in his heart. “Alright, I got it. You may go back.”

Lu Yang sighed. Chi Xulong really doesn’t have a filter. “Branch Leader, please don’t say that you heard this from me. I might have remembered wrongly.”

Branch Leader Chu waved his hand impatiently. That’s a given.

After Lu Yang left, Branch Leader Chu tapped on his jade chair and snorted coldly. “Chi Xulong, how dare you say that I’m blind!”

Things were as usual that day. Meng Jingzhou strolled around the streets. Man Gu exercised and tempered his body in the backyard. The tiger-henchman ghosts skewered in the main hall. Lu Yang did his laundry.

As Lu Yang’s clothes were ordinary, they couldn’t be spotless.

“Damn it, why can’t I master the Garment-Cleansing Incantation?” Lu Yang grumbled as he scrubbed his clothes. He was the only one among the three who needed to wash his clothes. “When I have the money, I definitely have to buy a set of clothes that doesn’t need washing.”

A while ago, he had consulted Meng Jingzhou to learn the Garment-Cleansing Incantation. Meng Jingzhou didn’t know the spell personally, but he had a book titled Minor Spells for Everyday Life. His younger sister had secretly slipped it to him before he left.

This book recorded a spell called “Garment-Cleansing Incantation.” As the name suggested, it was an incantation that could make one’s clothes clean. It was simple and easy to pick up.

The three of them gathered together to learn it. Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were the first to master it. As a refreshing burst of spirit energy descended from above, their filthy clothes instantly became pristine, as if they were brand new.

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were elated. Working in the barbeque shop meant that it was easy for them to soil their clothes, which was very troublesome. Given Meng Jingzhou’s wealth, he naturally had a set of specially refined clothes that was a magical artifact that automatically kept itself clean and needed no washing. However, the clothes’ quality was too high that it would reveal his background, and that would not be advantageous for staying hidden in the diabolic creed.

Lu Yang’s high aptitude for spells was well-recognized. He did learn the spell, but the results were somewhat unexpected.

After casting the Garment-Cleansing Incantation, space distorted, and a brand new set of clothes appeared out of nowhere.

When it happened, Lu Yang had fallen silent for a long time. He wanted to curse but didn’t know where to start.

In terms of sequence, this was the first spatial spell Lu Yang had learned, holding much significance for him.

In terms of innovation, this was a novel transformation of the Garment-Cleansing Incantation, equivalent to creating a new spatial spell.

In terms of logic, there was no logic.

Lu Yang stared at the collar labeled “For So-and-So” and realized that the clothing was likely a custom-made garment from a tailor store. Before the customer could collect their clothes, he had summoned it with his spatial spell.

“Why does the Garment-Cleansing Incantation I cast summon a brand-new set of clothes instead?! What would happen if I cast the Body-Cleansing Incantation?!” Lu Yang was furious, thinking that the heavens probably found him too brilliant and had to purposely restrict his talent in spells.

He naturally couldn’t wear the clothes since they belonged to someone else. However, Lu Yang didn’t know who the owner was, so he couldn’t return them even if he wanted to.

Meng Jingzhou even kindly offered to perform the real Garment-Cleansing Incantation to help Lu Yang wash his clothes. After several attempts, it ended in failure.

The Garment-Cleansing Incantation could only be used for clothes worn by oneself. Lu Yang couldn’t possibly remove his clothes and let Meng Jingzhou wear them just so that he could let Meng Jingzhou clean the clothes before removing them again and passing them back to him.

Oh well, I can only wash the clothes manually by myself.

After Lu Yang was done with his laundry, he wanted to hang the clothes outside the window but accidentally caused the laundry drying pole to slip, and it was aimed straight at a passer-by.

“Be careful!”

Unexpectedly, the passer-by had excellent reflexes and sidestepped the laundry drying pole.

Lu Yang hurried downstairs and realized that the passer-by was a new acquaintance. It was Lan Ting, the disciple from the Moon Laurel Celestial Palace who had helped them with fighting the tiger demon on Pine Mountain.

Lu Yang was puzzled. It’s been more than one month since then. Why is she still here?

Lan Ting lowered her head and stared at the laundry drying pole on the ground in silence, her brow slightly furrowed as if she was ruminating about a problem.

Lu Yang asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”

Lan Ting blurted out, “I was wondering why the laundry drying pole doesn’t fall up toward the sky instead of falling down to the ground. Could there be an invisible force pulling at everything in the world?”

Lu Yang, “...”
