Chapter 148.1

The group of disciples from the Beggar Sect were dumbfounded!

In the past, when they encountered other beggars who heard that they could join the Beggar Sect, they were overjoyed and extremely grateful, shedding tears of gratitude.

Because joining the Beggar Sect was akin to finding an organization and being part of a system. It wasnt so easy to be bullied by others.

Speaking frankly, with the support of our Beggar Sect brothers in the future, when we go out to compete for territory, we can seize better spots, obtain more food, and live a more comfortable life.

However, today we encountered someone who seemed to fear and avoid us as if we were the plague.

And the disdain in their tone was unmistakable

The Beggar Sect disciples looked at each other, then, as if by an unspoken agreement, turned their gaze towards the elder.

Even Elder Lais face struggled to maintain composure.

After all, this was the first time he had ever invited someone to join the sect!

To his surprise, he was rejected!

Ahem as the saying goes, to each their own; one cannot force their will upon another!

Elder Lai stroked his beard, putting on an air of dignity as he spoke, Since the young man does not wish to join our Beggar Sect, it can only mean that our paths were not meant to cross. So be it!

Yes, Elder! the crowd responded in unison.

Lets continue our search to see if there are any other beggar talents out there!

They carried on with their search and finally found someone who looked the part of a beggar.

Young man!

Elder Lai approached with a warm smile, cupping his hands in greeting, I have a matter I wish to discuss with you, may I take a moment of your time?

The man looked Elder Lai up and down. Despite the others tattered and ragged clothing, which gave him a somewhat unkempt appearance, there was a unique aura about him that made the man stop without hesitation.

Get to the point if you have any questions, I need to get back to rest!

Thank you, brother beggar

The man jumped up excitedly: Who are you calling a beggar? Youre the beggar, your whole family are beggars!

Elder Lai and the disciples of the Beggar Sect:

Damn, what a mouth on this guy!

That was so sharp!

Young man, youve misunderstood us, thats not what we meant!

Elder Lai, having weathered many storms, didnt take the matter to heart and continued with an elders gentle smile, warmly saying, Look at us, were beggars too, no one is looking down on anyone! We just thought, given your attire, that you might be one of our own, which is why we addressed you as such! If weve offended you in any way, please forgive us!

The man, seeing Elder Lais sincere expression and their shabby appearance, nodded, So thats how it is, its no big deal, I forgive you! To tell you the truth, I used to be a beggar myself!

Really? Elder Lai and the others exchanged glances.

Of course, why would I lie to you? Is it something to be proud of?

F*ck off!

The man cursed loudly. Joining your Beggar Sect, theres no food to beg for, no house to live in, no money to be had, and no women to be found and on top of that, Id be surrounded by a bunch of single dogs! If I join you, Id be a dog myself!

The disciples of the Beggar Sect were displeased.

Brother, your words are a bit too much!

We were only trying to comfort you with good intentions, how can you curse at us and call us dogs?

Can you really achieve all that without joining the Beggar Sect?

Of course I can!

The other party lifted their head proudly. Ill have you know, Im currently working on a road construction project for the imperial court. The court provides two meals a day, generous portions that fill you up, enough to eat until youre stuffed!

The disciples of the Beggar Sect looked at each other in surprise. The welfare provided by the Great Xia imperial court is that good?

Absolutely! And they often provide extra meals, even meat, which is delicious! When you bite into it, your mouth fills with the taste of fatits incredibly tasty! As he spoke, he subconsciously licked his lips.

These words made the disciples of the Beggar Sect green with envy!

Although they were now outstanding disciples of the Beggar Sect and no longer worried about food and drink, the prospect was still very tempting!

However, no one achieves success overnight. They too were once beggars who often went hungry and cold, and it was through their own efforts that they have everything they have today.

Yet it seems so easy for the other person, who has skipped over a decade of hardship, and they cant help but feel envious.

How wonderful it would have been if they had received such treatment back in the day!

One of them said bitterly, So what if you eat well, do you have a house to live in?

I dont have a house yet, but it wont be long before Ill have a big and sturdy concrete house!

How can you afford a house, you dont have any money!

Who says I dont have money?

The man exclaimed loudly. Let me tell you, I can now earn 300 wen a month! Ive been working for over half a year, and the money Ive saved is almost reaching two taels of silver. Impressive, right?

How did you manage to earn so much money? the disciples of the Beggar Sect were astonished.

For beggars, going out to beg each month and managing to earn 50 wen was already considered a bountiful harvest.

Having saved up one tael of silver was deemed a substantial amount of money.

Yet the person before them was able to earn 300 wen each month and, in half a year, had saved up two taels of silver.

Even in the great cities of the empire, only the more affluent commoners had such an income.
