Chapter 332: 332: Xu Ruoxuan’s Furnace Life
Xu Ruoxuan was still crying sadly when there was a noise at the door. She didn’t bother to respond until a gentle voice said to her, "Little junior sister, why are you crying? Don’t you know that a girl’s tears are precious and shouldn’t fall so easily?"
"Second Senior Brother..." As soon as she saw that it was Tong Raosheng, Xu Ruoxuan’s eyes, like pearls, began to drop tears. She threw herself into his arms, complaining about her grievances, "Second Senior Brother, the Senior Brother just bullied me."
Tong Raosheng patted her head without making any comments.
"You don’t know, as soon as he came back, he gave me a cold shoulder. I tried so hard to please him, to make him happy, yet he still threw me to the ground, it hurt so much! How can the Senior Brother be like this?"
"Maybe, something happened at work, and he’s in a bad mood, don’t take it to heart."
"But no matter how bad his mood is, he shouldn’t take it out on me, right? I’m not his punching bag."
Tong Raosheng really wanted to say: You are indeed a punching bag, otherwise, what do you think a Public Furnace is? Is it only for collection and supplementation?
The light in his eyes was faint, as if covered with a layer of dust, devoid of the past brightness like sunlight.
And all of this, Xu Ruoxuan was completely unaware of, she continued to complain about the Senior Brother’s ruthlessness, the cold and unfeeling words, however, going around in circles, it was just because Qiao Zhichuan didn’t show her a good face.
Ha! Wanting a good face from Qiao Zhichuan?
Even the Master, the Senior Brother dared to show a face, let alone them, who did Xu Ruoxuan think she was?
Did she really think she was the pampered, deceived, and worshipped little junior sister from before?
After finally coaxing Xu Ruoxuan, telling her that with teary eyes she should stop crying and ruining her eyesight, to quickly return to her room and have a maid do something soothing for her eyes, he himself went upstairs.
He knocked on Qiao Zhichuan’s door.
"Why are you here? What, afraid I bullied your little sweetheart?" As soon as Qiao Zhichuan opened the door and saw him, he couldn’t help the sarcastic tone in his voice.
Because he had just finished showering, he hadn’t put on his clothes yet, only had a towel tied around his waist, and was using a cloth to wipe his head, with water drops falling from his head.
"I heard that the Senior Brother has been on a mission recently? I wanted to come and see if there’s anything Senior Brother needs help with." Tong Raosheng said with a faint smile on his lips.
"Ha! You want to see if I’ve messed up, so you can hit me when I’m down, right? Second Junior Brother, don’t think I don’t know what’s on your mind, we’ve all grown up together, what kind of people we all are, can we still not know? I’m also confused, you always put on the appearance of a friendly neighborhood brother, isn’t it tiring? This facade of yours, can only deceive the little junior sister."
Tong Raosheng’s expression didn’t change: "It seems the Senior Brother’s mission isn’t going well, not in a good mood, otherwise how can he see anyone and be like a mad dog, biting anyone?" His eyes had a hint of sharpness.
"You’re right, I’m just a dog, biting whoever I see. But, are you any better than me? Aren’t you also a dog of the Master, whoever he lets you bite, you have to bite. Even your beloved, costing everything to protect little junior sister, in the end, didn’t she become the Public Furnace according to Master’s wishes?" Qiao Zhichuan didn’t forget to remind him, "Oh, by the way, I heard Seventh Junior Brother did a good job on his task, Master plans to use little junior sister as a reward for him. Tell little junior sister to be careful, I heard that Seventh Junior Brother is somewhat perverted in bed!"
Tong Raosheng’s heart skipped a beat: "How do you know?"
"You didn’t know? Seventh Junior Brother has been bragging in the group chat recently, saying he did well on his task this time, saying Master would reward him with a beauty. And who is the most beautiful woman in our sect? Isn’t it your little junior sister?"
Tong Raosheng’s mood instantly sank. Usually, to protect the little junior sister, he often grabbed tasks and credit to exchange with the Master, resulting in not having a good relationship with his senior brothers and sisters.
Aside from the Senior Brother, the worst relationship is with this Seventh Junior Brother, even having a personal grudge.
Seventh Junior Brother originally didn’t like him, and now knowing he always cared for the little junior sister, if the little junior sister fell into his hands, what good could come of it?
Originally, Tong Raosheng wanted to inquire about how the Senior Brother’s task was going, but now, he had no mood to care about Qiao Zhichuan’s task and turned to leave.
Qiao Zhichuan slammed the door shut with a "bang," the former General of Constant Victory at this moment as if being plucked featherless peacock, full of desolation.
"Ha!"
This sarcastic sound, aloof yet lonely, it wasn’t clear who exactly it was mocking.
The night gradually deepened.
Xu Ruoxuan, who had just finished being intimate with Tong Raosheng, lay contentedly in his arms.
Of all the people, Second Senior Brother was still the best to her, after the first time harvesting and supplementing her, he rarely did it. And every time, he made her feel very comfortable, feeling like it wasn’t her serving others, but Second Senior Brother serving her.
She couldn’t help but kiss his chin.
How come she never realized how good Second Senior Brother was before?
If she had realized earlier, she would have been with him from the start.
No, wait, although Second Senior Brother is very good to her, his cultivation is a bit low, she’s so beautiful, Second Senior Brother wouldn’t be able to protect her. Hmm, it would be even better if Second Senior Brother was stronger!
Xu Ruoxuan’s mind was filled with messy fantasies, but Tong Raosheng seemed a little absent-minded.
He was always very worried, afraid that what the Senior Brother said was true!
But, he knew the Senior Brother very well, even though he didn’t like the Senior Brother, he knew the Senior Brother wasn’t inclined to lie, which meant the Senior Brother might be telling the truth.
He really couldn’t imagine if Xu Ruoxuan fell into Seventh Junior Brother’s hands...
"Little junior sister, I need to talk to you about something."
Looking at Second Senior Brother’s serious expression, Xu Ruoxuan was a bit confused: "What is it, Second Senior Brother?"
"You know, my relationship with Seventh Junior Brother is not very good..." Tong Raosheng said tactfully.
"So what? I also don’t have a good relationship with Seventh Senior Brother." Xu Ruoxuan couldn’t even remember what Seventh Senior Brother looked like.
"But, you need to have a good relationship with him."
"Why?" Xu Ruoxuan didn’t understand.
"Seventh Junior Brother has recently done well on his tasks, Master might reward him, and it’s said he’ll be rewarded a great beauty..."
"What, is Second Senior Brother envious of him?" Xu Ruoxuan was a bit jealous, pouting and acting cute, "Doesn’t Second Senior Brother like me anymore? I’m also a great beauty, okay? Who in our sect is more beautiful than me?"
Tong Raosheng didn’t speak, just stared at her fixedly.
At that glance, their eyes met, Xu Ruoxuan didn’t realize at first, but eventually, when she understood, she almost jumped up: "Second Senior Brother, you don’t mean... Master plans to reward me to him?!"
She was somewhat panicked.
Tong Raosheng nodded.
Xu Ruoxuan screamed: "How can this be?! Second Senior Brother, has Master gone mad?! I’m his disciple, not one of those Furnaces that can be tossed around at will..."
Tong Raosheng was also in a very difficult situation: She used to be a disciple, but now she’s a Public Furnace! Did she think after being harvested and supplemented by him, by Master, by Senior Brother, that there would be no one else?
The meaning of Public Furnace is—if Master is willing, everyone can!
Xu Ruoxuan should be thankful that Master is only picking people within the sect, and even only those who have completed tasks exceptionally well, if it were others...
