“Master Lu, you flatter me. Junior just can’t bear to see you like this.”
The female cultivator in the tender yellow dress who was the first to speak stepped forward and bowed to Lu Zijia as she said gently.
The other female cultivators weren’t willing to have their limelight stolen by the female cultivator in the tender yellow dress. They hurriedly echoed repeatedly, expressing how “kind” they were.
Hearing their self-praise, the smile on Lu Zijia’s face deepened.
The female cultivators who didn’t notice anything wrong with Lu Zijia thought that she was very satisfied with their “kindness”!
The cultivators around who were silently staying away from the troublesome area and watching the show couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat for the female cultivators in their minds.
They had seen stupid people, but this was the first time they had seen someone as stupid as a pig.
They didn’t know whose family these female cultivators came from. It was really unlucky to have such stupid disciples.
Lu Zijia didn’t care what everyone was thinking. After the female cultivators fell into the pit she dug, she directly said, “Since you’re so kind and pity these two thieves, I’ll give you some face. However, even if they can escape death, they can’t escape punishment. How about this? I’ll allow you to pay the fine for these two thieves. The four of you only have to pay tens of millions of Spirit Stones. It’s not much.”
When everyone heard what Lu Zijia said before, they thought that Lu Zijia was being kind.
However, after hearing what she said after that, there was a look of realization on all of their faces.
Obviously, everyone thought that this was Lu Zijia’s normal style. If she was kind, people would think that it was abnormal instead.
The blush on the faces of the female cultivators who were still complacent a moment ago instantly disappeared, replaced by disbelief and paleness.
After a while, the female cultivator in the soft yellow dress came back to her senses and stammered, “Master… Master Lu, we don’t know those two thieves. Why… Why do you want us to pay the fine for them?”
“Right, those two thieves have nothing to do with us. Why should we pay the fine on their behalf?” Another female cultivator said indignantly, her tone carrying obvious indignation.
The other two female cultivators also fought to speak first.
“Tens of millions of Spirit Stones isn’t a small sum. Why should we help them pay?!”
Of course, the most important thing was that even if they were willing to help, they didn’t have so many Spirit Stones.
“We were just trying to persuade you. How can you put the blame on us? Master Lu, aren’t you going too far?”
Even though they pitied Dong Liu and Mu Kerui, it was definitely impossible for them to pay Spirit Stones to save them.
Just as they had said before, they had nothing to do with those two thieves. Why should they pay tens of millions of Spirit Stones to redeem them? They didn’t have too many Spirit Stones to spend!
On the city wall, the faces of Dong Liu and the others, who originally had some hope, couldn’t help turning pale after hearing this, as if they had been humiliated.
Lu Zijia, who was questioned by the female cultivators one after another, sneered without hiding anything.
“Aren’t you kind-hearted? Don’t you pity them and want to help them? If that’s the case, why can’t you help them pay the fine?”
Before the female cultivators refuted, Lu Zijia said again, “Are you saying that your kindness and pity are only to this extent?”
