Chapter 27 The Villainous Female Supporting Character in Immortal Cultivation (9)
However, Xia Mingwei did not say these words directly, but muttered them to herself.
So the two groups of people, each with their own agendas, exchanged basic information such as their names and backgrounds.
Aside from the fact that the sect was a fabricated lie, the other information about Bai Yaoyao and her companions was relatively true. The fact that they were the sect leader's youngest daughter, who was greatly favored, and the loyal guards did indeed match their true identities.
After exchanging information, Bai Yaoyao seemed to suddenly remember that there was still a "thief" to deal with.
Now that they knew each other's identities and status, Bai Yaoyao's words were no longer as fiery as before; instead, they were much more cautious. Pointing to the "thief" crawling on the ground, she asked, "What should we do with this person?"
“I still insist on handing it over to the authorities!” Yan Sheng interjected.
As he spoke, he and Bai Yaoyao exchanged a glance, and Bai Yaoyao looked at him with an approving gaze. Xia Mingwei watched the interaction between the two and understood. Sure enough, the female lead wouldn't easily change her mind because of a few words from others; she still insisted on sending them to the authorities for prosecution.
Mo Yuan remained silent. He felt he had no connection with this unfamiliar "thief," and that he had already done more than enough by stopping the whip for him. Further involvement was pointless.
Xia Mingwei hesitated, and Xiao Ba seemed to sense this as well. So it cautiously asked, "Host, do you want to help this little beggar?"
"Xiao Ba, do you also think I'm meddling? Do you think I shouldn't be meddling in these unnecessary things besides the mission?" Xia Mingwei asked uncertainly from the side.
Xiao Ba pondered for a while before giving his answer.
"Host, do you still remember why you asked me why I wanted to bind myself to you?"
Xia Mingwei was taken aback for a moment, "Didn't you tell me before? That it was because it was cheap and easy to use..."
"Actually, that's not the whole reason. Part of it is because I feel you have a sincere heart that no one else has! In your dealings with the world, I feel that while you are trying your best to live a good life, you are also helping others. Perhaps these small acts of help seem unnecessary to others. But for the people who receive your help, they can change their lives."
After making this call, Xiao Ba added, "However, don't put too much pressure on yourself because of this. After all, I know a universal rule among you humans—helping is a favor, not helping is your right!"
"However, no matter what you do, host, Xiao Ba will always stand firmly on your side!" Xiao Ba concluded with these heartfelt words.
These words moved Xia Mingwei to tears. It felt so good to realize that someone would always be standing silently behind you!
After listening to Xiao Ba's encouraging words, Xia Mingwei decided to follow her heart and save the "thief"!
Then he spoke up, saying, "Sending this matter to the authorities is too serious; I disagree! As for the woman's losses, I will compensate her!"
Perhaps it was their innate incompatibility, but Bai Yaoyao retorted after hearing Xia Mingwei's words, "If you want to compensate, you have to see if they agree!"
Xia Mingwei ignored her sarcasm and walked straight to the woman, asking, "Auntie, would you be willing to accept the compensation I'm offering on behalf of this thief?"
Having said that, he handed a small gold ingot to the woman. Upon seeing that her purse had been recovered and she had received an unexpected windfall, the woman beamed with joy.
She took a bite of the gold ingot to test its authenticity, then quickly put it in her pocket. Turning around, she adopted a fawning smile, "Of course I'm willing! I have other things to do, so I won't disturb you distinguished guests any longer!"
After saying that, she left without stopping, afraid that Xia Mingwei would change her mind and take the gold back.
Bai Yaoyao watched her departing figure, her expression changing several times. She hadn't expected her words to be contradicted so quickly; it was truly embarrassing.
Xia Mingwei then walked over and said to Bai Yaoyao with a smile, "Well? The person involved doesn't care anymore, so it's not good for you to insist on sending him to the authorities! Let him go!"
Bai Yaoyao seemed to be angry. She said, "Do as you please!" and turned to leave.
Seeing Bai Yaoyao leave in anger, Yan Sheng rolled his eyes at Xia Mingwei and hurriedly chased after her.
Seeing the two of them so angry, Xia Mingwei felt like she had just eaten an ice cream on a hot summer day – so refreshing!
Thinking about the original owner's ending, this is just the beginning. You guys still have a long way to go!
Seeing the two people he had just befriended leave in anger because of Xia Mingwei, Mo Yuan walked over and said to Xia Mingwei in a condescending tone, "You shouldn't have done that just now. It's not worth making enemies with other cultivators for a beggar! Traveling in the mortal world is not like being in a sect. It's better to avoid making enemies with others!"
Xia Mingwei patted her head. There was still this idiot; how could she have forgotten about him?
Since he's come here asking for trouble, it would be a disservice to you, Sister Xia, if you didn't grant his wish.
Xia Mingwei glanced at Mo Yuan, who was giving her a long speech, and said with a hint of contempt, "Senior Brother, have you forgotten that if it weren't for my father bringing you back to the sect, who knows where you would be making a living now? You wouldn't have the right to criticize my behavior today."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan could no longer maintain his composed demeanor as a celestial being. It seemed as if someone had touched a sore spot hidden deep within his heart, and his face, like a palette of colors, became incredibly gloomy.
Xia Mingwei knew, of course, that this was the male lead's sore spot, but she was determined to pierce that barrier and touch that sore spot. She wanted to show this hypocrite what true pain was!
After saying these words, Xia Mingwei ignored Mo Yuan and, in a good mood, turned around and walked towards the "thief," helping him up.
When Xia Mingwei extended her hand to the "thief," he paused, taken aback. Perhaps because no one had ever shown him such kindness before, he was somewhat bewildered by this sudden act of goodwill.
However, Xia Mingwei had no idea that her small action today would change this person's life, but that's a story for another time.
After standing up, the "thief" bowed deeply to Xia Mingwei, muttering, "Thank you for saving me today!"
Xia Mingwei waved her hand, "No need to thank me! But you must remember that I helped you today because you really had a hard time. Stealing is not a good thing. If you do it again, no one can protect you!"
