"Come on, get to work!"
Meng Fanzé was very excited, raising his fist to urge them, "Hurry up!"
He was extremely happy, more than a dozen extra laborers had appeared all at once!
While these people had been unconscious, they had already discussed things.
If these people were just passing by and had been accidentally captured, they wouldn't do anything excessive.
—They weren't some insane bandits.
However, both Qin Yiwei and Liu Yizi said that these people had come for them.
Since they're all bad people, then of course they should be put to good use!
Moreover, although they had come for Qin Yiwei and Liu Yizi, they hadn't actually done anything yet.
If they were just killed like this, it wouldn't seem appropriate.
But while the death penalty could be avoided, punishment was unavoidable!
Master had said, "Isn't this just reform through labor?"
Reform through labor.
The moment this term came out, everyone thought that it's very fitting.
Wasn't it exactly that?
These people had committed wrongdoing, but not enough to deserve death, so they would undergo reform through labor!
And it just so happened that they were doing large-scale construction here and needed manpower.
This group had arrived just in time.
Otherwise, with master's tendency to come up with new ideas every moment, who knew how long it would take to rebuild the sect.
As the chief foreman of this reconstruction project, Meng Fanzé had already worked out the groupings.
He found a stick from who knows where and pointed at them, "You'll be divided into three teams. You, you, you, and you will be one team. You all…"
Soon, he assigned everyone to groups.
Wei Qingbing's heart sank.
Meng Fanzé had deliberately split and mixed their two groups apart!
This way, even if they wanted to escape, it would be even harder!
But no matter what he thought, it couldn't change their current situation.
Although their spiritual power had temporarily recovered, they didn't dare to make any reckless moves.
"You, come with me." Qin Yiwei stepped forward calmly and said to Wei Qingbing and the others.
"You come with me."
"This way."
Chu Jingzhuo and Jiang Yunnuan each led a team.
Xin Jinrui was the head chef, responsible for cooking.
Lu Wenjun, Liu Yizi, and Ke Chongbo formed one team.
The spirit beasts and cubs served as assistants.
Although Meng Fanzé could sometimes be naive and easily trust others, it had to be said that his talent in formations was extremely high.
Formations were related to construction, and he picked it up immediately.
After Mu Shiyue handed the reconstruction work to him, he instantly became energized, pondering for a while before quickly forming a plan.
And this time, because of Mu Shiyue's latest sudden idea, he expanded the scale further based on the previous plan.
Even this grouping was arranged according to each senior brother and sister's situation, letting them each lead a team.
Watching Meng Fanzé holding a notebook and assigning tasks, Xin Jinrui and the others smiled without interrupting him.
Sure enough, one could shine in their own field of expertise.
After finishing the assignments, Meng Fanzé looked up and saw everyone staring at him. His face immediately flushed, "What's wrong? Is something not appropriate?"
"No, we just think you're amazing," everyone said with smiles.
"Yes, your arrangement is very reasonable!"
"No problem, you did great!"
They even clapped for him.
Meng Fanzé's face grew even redder.
He had simply taken action when the thought c=occurred to him, he hadn't considered anything else.
Now that everyone praised him like this, his face felt hot.
"Since there's no problem, let's begin!" Meng Fanzé said, blushing as he changed the subject. "The workload this time is huge, we need to speed things up."
"Alright!"
So everyone led their respective teams and got to work.
Some dug soil, some built houses, all kinds of spiritual power working together made the scene bustling with activity.
Of course, Wei Qingbing and the others weren't in such an enthusiastic mood.
Enthusiastic, my ass!
Who could be enthusiastic in this kind of situation?!
But they didn't dare show even a hint of dissatisfaction.
They still wanted to leave here alive.
They'd been told earlier that if they worked properly, they would be allowed to leave after everything was finished.
If they didn't work properly, then they might as well be prepared to be fed to the spirit beasts!
Looking at the spirit beasts who were watching them closely, and feeling their overwhelming pressure, who would dare have other thoughts?
Wasn't that just courting death?
So they all worked extremely seriously. Whatever Xin Jinrui and the others told them to do, they did it exactly without cutting any corners.
To be honest, after recovering their spiritual power, working wasn't too bad, it was much faster.
But what made them miserable was how delicious the food and drinks Meng Fanzé and the others had!
They were actually drinking something called milk tea!
This milk tea was made with the milk of a Spotted Spirit Cow and hundred-year spirit tea. The fragrance spread for miles, just smelling it made their spiritual power stir restlessly!
Even the masters of their two families might not be able to enjoy such a thing!
Not to mention anything else, who the hell had ever drunk milk from a fourth-grade Spotted Spirit Cow?!
Watching Qin Yiwei and the others drink it every day with such enjoyment, Wei Qingbing and the Liu Family members looked at each other with their mouths watering, and faces full of bitterness and envy.
And that wasn't all.
At noon and in the afternoon, after Xin Jinrui finished cooking, they began eating again.
Of course, none of these delicious dishes had anything to do with Wei Qingbing and the others. They were each only given a fasting pill.
Even though their stomachs weren't hungry, watching the table full of delicious food from afar and smelling the mouthwatering aroma, they almost couldn't hold on.
"That chicken looks so plump and delicious!"
"Yesterday they seemed to eat stone fish, right? The day before was sinking shrimp?"
"Brother Bing, today they're eating Silver Line Stone Fish! I heard it's extremely delicious and can increase spiritual power too—sniff—"
Wei Qingbing looked at his drooling subordinates, his face turning dark.
They immediately lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
But Wei Qingbing himself was also almost drooling.
He felt indignant, what kind of freaks were these people?!
Who the hell doesn't eat fasting pills?! Who would care about such indulgence in food?!
Why were they eating and drinking like this, weren't they afraid that it would affect their cultivation?!
Wei Qingbing wished he could go over and flip their dining table.
Of course, he only dared to think about it.
"Ah Zi, eat some fish. This fish is really delicious!" Meng Fanzé placed a piece of fish into Liu Yizi's bowl.
"Thank you, I can serve myself. You eat too," Liu Yizi smiled.
The two sat together, and Meng Fanzé was very enthusiastic, even proactively serving her food.
Mu Shiyue, sitting across from them, suddenly blinked and smiled, "You two look quite alike."
When she said that, everyone looked over.
At this glance, they couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, they really do look a bit similar!"
Because she had to work, Liu Yizi had tied her hair up and dressed in male attire.
After a few days, her complexion had darkened slightly, and she had gained a bit of meat.
Now, sitting together, the two really did look somewhat alike.
As soon as this was said, Liu Yizi's chopsticks paused.
Before she could speak, a voice came from the side, "Not alike, not alike at all!"
Everyone turned to look and saw a panicked, flustered face.
