Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Can’t Share the Sweetness? Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Can’t Share the Sweetness? Smiling Face, hearing disturbances on this side, rushed over quickly and only after a while realized it was a friend, not a foe.

Just as he thought to leave, he noticed Ah Dao’s gaze on Bai Junjun was somewhat off.

That look… contained a disgust deeper than what he reserved for the bandits, and even his jaw muscle tightened, seemingly restraining a raging fury.

After a slight contemplation, Smiling Face decided to prioritize the greater good.

He approached Ah Dao and said, “We discovered a storeroom, it’s better to go have a look.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Dao stiffened and, after a long while, managed to shift his focus from Bai Junjun.

Smiling Face slightly bent his eyebrows and said, “Leave this to me.”

Ah Dao remained silent and did not move.

Smiling Face then softly reminded, “The reason she came here might be because there’s no one else in the camp who knows how to prepare arsenic.”

The implication was that any grievances should be put aside until after the matter at hand was resolved.

Finally taking in the words, Ah Dao relented and silently stepped away.

Only after Ah Dao had left with his sword, did Smiling Face casually watch Bai Junjun.

“I know where the kitchen is, I’ll take you there.”

When Bai Junjun glanced at the youth, she saw him smiling as if bathed in spring breeze, completely opposite to the cold-faced Ah Dao.

Qiu Er and Qiu San on the side reminded, “He is Smiling Face from the Seven-Person Team, ranking as the fifth.”

Seemingly unconcerned with the Qiu brothers discussing him, Smiling Face simply nodded calmly.

“Let’s go.”

He pointed ahead, “If you’re not at ease, you can come with me, since we have to move the stuff in the kitchen as well.”

The named Qiu brothers, happy beyond expectation, thanked him repeatedly and followed.

The stockade was built against the mountain, with the central courtyard being a vast training ground. In front was a bamboo building constructed of wood, seemingly connected with the mountain mass, and looking up, one could vaguely see several carved stone rooms.

During this time, their people were repeatedly searching the rooms for useful items.

Smiling Face bypassed this area directly and led them to a detached thatched cottage.

Only upon entering did they realize it was the kitchen.

Right upon entering the kitchen, they saw several pieces of cured meat and even some ready-made meals, apparently the bandits planned to return after a big raid to enjoy a feast.

Now, however, this dinner cheaply became theirs.

Refugees tasked with searching for supplies couldn’t move their legs upon seeing the food.

Not to speak of the suffering they endured over the years, but just today, they had followed Doctor Wang out to collect herbs, and had returned without a chance to eat, when people from Mighty Hall arrived.

From noon till now, they hadn’t had a drop of water, so seeing these provisions, they could no longer resist stuffing their mouths fiercely.

When Smiling Face walked in, the three who were eating obliviously were instantly frightened into coughing repeatedly.

Seeing this, Smiling Face’s lips curved into a smile.

“I know everyone is very hungry, but before entering the stockade, we agreed, nothing here is to be touched without allocation. If you do so, won’t others know and also come to scramble? If it’s chaos from the start, how can we proceed in the future?”

Being scolded by a seventeen-eighteen-year-old young man, the three men instantly blushed.

Smiling Face chillingly smiled and touched the sword scabbard, “Let it go this time.”

“Thank… thank you…” Relieved, the few men awkwardly ran outside.

“Wait.”

Just as they were about to reach the door, Smiling Face stopped them again.

The few turned back shamefacedly, looking uneasy.

“Take this basket of steamed buns out for the brothers to eat first; it’s better to work after eating.”

“Eh! Okay!” The men, not expecting Smiling Face to let them off without further questions and even allow everyone to have a satisfying meal first, happily carried the steamed buns out.
