Chapter 12 On the Hedgerow

　　This trial for the promotion of a handyman to an outer disciple came to an end, and as Hou Xiaomei's trio stepped onto the mountaintop and faded away, Zhang Dafat looked at Hou Xiaomei's back and stroked his fat chin with a meaningful expression on his face. 　　"En, white, small, pure ......" said the man, and glanced to the side at Bai Xiaochun. 　　Bai Xiaochun was also looking at Hou Xiaomei's back at this time, his heart incredibly complicated, especially after hearing Zhang Dafat's words and seeing the way Zhang Dafat peeked at his eyes. 　　"Don't look at me!" 　　Seeing that Bai Xiaochun was getting angry, Big Fatty Zhang hurriedly laughed, took out his pockets full of spirit stones, and changed the subject. 　　"Come on, come on, let's count the spirit stones... we're getting rich this time... haha, that's a great idea." 　　"What's so great about spirit stones, counting them isn't just those." Bai Xiaochun hummed. 　　"You don't understand this, Ninth Senior Brother... what you look at is spirit stones, what you count is life." Zhang DaFat's mouth rarely uttered such life-affirming words, and listening to Bai Xiaochun, he too followed Zhang DaFat's example and counted the spirit stones, and then finally got really bored and threw them at Zhang DaFat. 　　Just at this time, the road of trials gusts of light flashed, everyone's eyes flashed, when clear, have arrived at the bottom of the mountain. 　　The middle-aged deacon who had opened the trial path before had an odd look on his face when he saw Bai Xiaochun's trio, and after a long while shook his head and paid no more attention to the matter concerning the fire stove room, feeling that it would be better to leave it up to the clan to deal with. 　　Bai Xiaochun was still a bit nervous in his heart, but when he saw that everything was fine, the three of them looked at each other and immediately coughed dryly at each other and quickly left, following the shortcut straight to the Fire Stove Room. 　　Zhang Da Fatty counted the spirit stones to himself, over and over again, until after he returned to the Fire Stove Room, a few other fat senior brothers also returned, each one of them gorgeous, meeting each other in triumph. 　　After splitting his share, Bai Xiaochun threw himself in the grass hut; his quest was for longevity, and if he hadn't needed to buy herbs for the Life Extension Dan this time, he wouldn't have come up with such an idea for earning spirit stones. 　　This night, everyone in the Fire Stove Room didn't sleep well. Zhang DaFat and the others had been excited all night after getting rich at first sight, thinking back to the previous years when their pockets had dried up, and then thinking about the bright future, and then being a bit scared and apprehensive, so they all lost sleep. 　　Bai Xiaochun, thinking about the Life Extension Pill, was just as sleepless. 　　When the next day arrived, as the matter of the Fire Stove Room's trial path blocking the doorway festered, word spread from one to the next in all of the miscellaneous service areas on the south coast of the Spirit Stream Sect, and eventually almost no one knew about it. 　　"Did you hear about it, the Fire Stove Room has done something big!!!" 　　"Could it be that they're so poor and crazy that they've actually done such a thing... Heavens, selling places for outer disciples! It's too much, why didn't I think of this idea before!" 　　"This fire stove room I've long heard that everyone inside is very well connected, all are people with some connection within the sect, otherwise how could each of them eat so heinously!" Within the handyman area, all the rooms, all the people, almost all of them were discussing the Fire Stove Room on this day. 　　Fire stove room also in these days low-profile a lot, all almost never go out alone, until a few days later one day dusk, Bai Xiaochun is to a mouth bottom is very thick large bowl pouring rice soup, suddenly from the outside of the path, came bursts of footsteps. 　　"People from the Fire Stove Room come out, the Supervisor's Room has been ordered to come and investigate the matter of your trial path!" When the grim voice suddenly came, the door of the Fire Stove Room was directly kicked open. 　　With a clanging sound, the door was kicked in, and more than a dozen odd-job disciples wearing the Supervisor Room's garb barged in from outside the door, and the person at the head of the room was none other than the tiger-backed hunk who had stood up for Xu Bao Cai earlier. 　　"I said why I heard the crows cawing again this morning, so it's you again, Chen Fei." Big Fatty Zhang and Bai Xiaochun looked at each other, both pretending to be fine, and along with a few other fatties, they looked calmly at the crowd of Supervisors' Room people who were walking aggressively towards them. 　　Chen Fei laughed coldly, his eyes glancing at Zhang DaFat, then sweeping Bai Xiaochun, and suddenly frowned slightly; the people from the Fire Stove Room in front of him were far too calm. 　　He had been quite excited inwardly on his way here, thinking that he had finally caught the Fire Stove Room in the act, and that he would be able to knock off the Fire Stove Room in one fell swoop, putting an end to the years-long mutual infighting between the two houses. 　　"Pretending to be calm!" Chen Fei laughed coldly inwardly, a stern look appearing in his eyes as he spoke morosely. 　　"Fire Stove Room, Mister Chen asks you, did the nine of you participate in the trial a few days ago when the handymen were promoted to outer disciples!" 　　"Participated." Zhang DaFat said with a smile. 　　"Good if you participated, take them away!" Without further ado, Chen Fei raised his right hand and pointed, and immediately, behind him, more than a dozen overseer room servants all rushed out, chains in hand, seemingly to bind the Fire Stove Room crowd. 　　Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun smiled and passed out words. 　　"The Supervisory Room is in charge of everything ah, it all restricts our qualifications to become outer disciples, it's really imposing." 　　When Chen Fei saw Bai Xiaochun, his mind couldn't help but conjure up a scene of Bai Xiaochun's flying sword that day, the crowd around him pausing as he waved his hand, and he stared at Bai Xiaochun, gradually narrowing his eyes. 　　"Since you're unconvinced, Senior Brother Bai, then Mister Chen will ask you one more time: you Fire Stove Rooms, you blocked the exits on the road to the trials and sold quotas in public, and since you did it, do you dare to admit it!" 　　"Of course I admit it, we did it!" Bai Xiaochun was very open, with a good-natured demeanor, nodding his head back and forth, and pointing at Zhang Dafat and the others. 　　"They all did it too." 　　"That's right, we did it all, why!" Big Fatty Zhang and the others laughed and all admitted it as well. 　　This scene caused Chen Fei's face to change, he didn't expect the people from the Fire Stove Room to actually admit it so easily, in his thoughts, this was something that would require some hard fought battle of wits before the people from the Fire Stove Room would be forced to admit it. 　　At this moment, he felt weird and had a vague sense of ill will in the bottom of his heart, so he stopped talking and let out a low growl. 　　"Fine, fine, since you've admitted it, it saves Mister Chen from continuing to ask, then follow me to the Law Enforcement Hall, if anyone dares to resist, according to the rules of the sect, they will be expelled from the sect!" 　　As Chen Fei spoke, his body leapt up and headed straight for Bai Xiaochun, and the crowd behind him all rushed in as well. 　　But at that moment, Bai Xiaochun's right hand suddenly lifted up, and a sword light flew out of his sleeve between pinches; the colorful wooden sword flew out in an instant, whistling between the Supervisor's Room and the Fire Stove Room with a chilling aura that caused that Chen Fei's feet to lurch, and his face to look suddenly unsightly. 　　"Bai Xiaochun, you dare to resist!" 　　"Senior Brother Chen, the Supervisor's Room has the qualifications for questioning, where do you get the qualifications for arresting people?" 　　"Hmph, you've all admitted that you've broken the sect rules, so of course I'm qualified to arrest you!" 　　"I wonder which of the sect rules we've broken?" Bai Xiaochun asked with a smirk, and Big Fatty Zhang and the others all narrowed their eyes, cold smiles at the corners of their mouths, as they looked at Chen Fei. 　　"You guys violated gate rule number ...... en by selling places in the outer sect?" As Chen Fei was speaking, he suddenly gave a start, followed by a rapid change in his face, and gradually a cold sweat actually broke out on his forehead. 　　He was horrified to discover that there is actually no statement within the door rules that does not allow others to sell the outer door quota on the trial road ...... After all, this method, very few people can think about it, and even if they think about it, they don't have the guts to do it ...... 　　"Chen senior brother how you sweat, in the end we have committed which ah, you are to say ah, could it be that we did not violate the door rules, is Chen senior brother you deceive the law enforcement hall, communiqué personal revenge, come here to lynch us? Senior Brother Chen, you're committing Article 11 of Volume 9 of the Sect Rules, and according to the Sect Rules, the punishment isn't small!" Bai Xiaochun put on an astonished expression, and after asking a follow-up question, his voice grew louder and louder, secretly relieved inside. 　　"You're bullshitting, I ......" At this moment not only did Chen Fei's face change, but the other overseer room miscellaneous servants behind him all realized the problem as well, and one by one their faces instantly all changed. 　　At the same time, Zhang Da Fatty raised his hands with a sardonic smile and clicked and kneaded a few times in front of his body, while a few other fat senior brothers showed ferocious auras in their eyes as they walked towards the crowd of the Supervisory Room. 　　"Chen Fei, the matter of you violating the door rules has its own Law Enforcement Hall to take charge of, now what should be the compensation for this countless martyrs' doors forged back then in our Fire Stove Room, you have to give us an explanation today!" Zhang DaFat smiled grimly, his aura rising suddenly at this moment. 　　Since they had dared to go to the Road of Trials to block the gate, they were naturally well-prepared, and as early as when Bai Xiaochun had brought up the idea two months ago, they had already flipped over the gate rules, which had led them to do this big thing. 　　"Fight!" As Zhang DaFat's words came out, his meaty mountain-like figure sent shivers down the spines of Chen Fei and the others. 　　For a moment, the sound of fighting pinged in the courtyard, and Bai Xiaochun's body shifted, and he habitually stood on the fence wall next to the courtyard again, his small sleeves flung out, his hands behind his back, pretending to be deep and looking into the distance, posing as if he was a lonely expert who had accomplished something. 　　"I, Bai Xiaochun, snap my fingers, and the Supervisor's Room goes up in smoke ......"
