Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 26 Poor Senior Sister!

"Senior sister, you know so much!"

Cao Meng first praised An Yingji's broad knowledge, then asked in return:

"Senior sister, before, you were like a dead fish, completely at my mercy."

Why did I not break through the city gates and go straight in, but instead went astray?
Moreover, they've gone astray; it's not that my buttocks hurt, it's that somewhere else hurts!

As Cao Meng spoke, he started to chuckle mischievously again. An Yingji sensed something was off about his gaze and immediately became cautious.

He was terrified that this bastard junior brother in front of him might really unleash his beastly nature, knowing that he was powerless to resist at the moment!

However, An Yingji could also confirm one thing: she had not been led astray by her scoundrel junior brother!
……

In the blink of an eye, an hour or two had passed.

Seeing that her limbs were still weak and she couldn't mobilize any spiritual energy, An Yingji started to panic.

An Yingji felt that it was too dangerous for her to stay by Cao Meng's side in her current situation, as she was easily bullied by this scoundrel junior brother.

Thinking of this, An Yingji turned her gaze to Cao Meng and pleaded:

"Junior brother, take me to Master and ask him to help me regain my strength!"

The communication jade talisman used to contact Consort Duanmu is currently in her storage ring, but An Yingji's cultivation and spiritual power are sealed, preventing her from opening the storage ring, and Cao Meng also lacks access to it!
Under these circumstances, he could only meet with Consort Duanmu.

However, An Yingji is now so weak that even moving her fingers is difficult, and she has no way to go to the main hall of Suqin Peak to meet Consort Duanmu. Therefore, she can only ask Cao Meng to take her to meet Consort Duanmu.

After understanding An Yingji's intention, Cao Meng asked in return:

"What's the benefit?"

Now that An Yingji has finally fallen on hard times, Cao Meng naturally wants to take advantage of her and reap some benefits.

Cao Meng's opportunistic behavior enraged An Yingji, but she showed no sign of it on her face.

An Yingji looked at Cao Meng pitifully, playing the emotional card, and said:
"Cao Meng, we are fellow disciples, how can you take advantage of our misfortune?"

An Yingji was filled with remorse; she felt she had made a mistake!

My biggest mistake was not being strict enough in disciplining my younger brother.

If only I had beaten Cao Meng into submission earlier and smoothed out this junior brother's rebellious nature, I wouldn't be at his mercy now!

Cao Meng pinched An Yingji's chin and mocked:

"Senior sister, you remember us now? Why didn't you remember when you tricked me in the cafeteria?"

Luckily, I'm blessed with good fortune and survived being poisoned by stargazing!

Play the emotional card!
Cao Meng wasn't buying it; he only cared about the benefits he actually received!

An Yingji, whose chin was being held by Cao Meng, stared at him with pitiful eyes and said:

"Junior brother, you and I are both victims!"

At the same time, An Yingji made a vow in her heart:

Cao Meng, you have no respect for your elders! How dare you treat me so disrespectfully! Once I regain my strength, you're finished!
"Hehehe!"

Cao Meng sneered and shouted:

"Senior sister, you are not a victim, you deserve what you got!"

There was nothing wrong at all; I was just going to the canteen to eat some spiritual food.

But it was because An Yingji was causing trouble that all of this happened.

Fortunately, Cao Meng was blessed with good fortune and survived, managing to escape danger and even gain some benefits.

"You~"

An Yingji was about to retort when Cao Meng interrupted her.

Cao Meng moved his hand away from An Yingji's jade-like chin, pinched her phoenix cheek, and laughed:
"Senior sister, you'd better be nicer, or you'll know what to do!"

An Yingji was furious when Cao Meng pinched her cheek like that.

When had An Yingji, the dignified Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, ever been bullied like this or suffered such humiliation?

She secretly vowed that she would make Cao Meng repay the humiliation she suffered today tenfold in the future.

After regaining her composure, An Yingji said, "Junior brother, take me to Master, and I'll give you one hundred low-grade spirit stones!"

"Senior sister, who are you trying to get rid of with a hundred low-grade spirit stones?"

Cao Meng felt that the travel expenses given by An Yingji were too little.

My senior sister is quite wealthy; how could I possibly mention a hundred low-grade spirit stones?
After a pause, Cao Meng stated his conditions:

"Senior sister, if you give me the Crimson Refining Furnace, I'll take you to see Master, how about that?"

Although Cao Meng could use the Crimson Furnace when refining the Yang Pearl, the ownership of the Crimson Furnace ultimately belonged to An Yingji.

Therefore, Cao Meng planned to take the Crimson Furnace and make it his own.

As soon as Cao Meng presented his conditions, An Yingji immediately flew into a rage and shouted:

"Cao Meng, why don't you just rob it?"

The Crimson Refining Furnace is a top-grade third-tier spiritual artifact, worth at least 50,000 low-grade spirit stones.

An Yingji felt that Cao Meng was just asking for an exorbitant amount and was a scoundrel who took advantage of a crisis.

"Dear senior sister, I'm grabbing it right now!"

Cao Meng did not deny that he was stealing it, after all, An Yingji had also admitted that the Crimson Furnace was a trophy she had stolen.

If An Yingji can steal from others, why can't I steal from An Yingji?

In his previous life, this woman chased him down nearly a hundred times. Now that he has been reborn, it's not unreasonable for him to collect some interest, right?

"it is good!"

An Yingji gritted her teeth and agreed, then added:

"Cao Meng, as long as you take me to see my master, I will give you the Crimson Furnace once my cultivation has recovered and I can open my storage ring!"

An Yingji had no intention of giving the Crimson Furnace to Cao Meng; she only wanted to appease Cao Meng first.

After all, once his strength is restored, he will beat up Cao Meng first and see if the other party still dares to ask him for the Crimson Furnace!

"Senior sister, how about you make a vow based on your Dao heart?"

Cao Meng didn't believe An Yingji at all. After all, the Crimson Refining Furnace was worth at least 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the other party agreed so readily. It would be strange if there were no problems!
Seeing Cao Meng's caution, An Yingji couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Cunning old fox!"
"Junior brother, one cannot casually make vows based on one's Dao heart on the path of cultivation, so let's just forget about it?"

An Yingji dared not swear on her Dao heart, for if she did, it would be difficult to renege on her promise.

"Senior sister, what do you think?"

Cao Meng rolled his eyes at An Yingji. He had only suspected that she might renege on her debt, but now that she was unwilling to swear an oath with her Dao heart, she was clearly planning to default.

"Cao Meng, I admit defeat!"

Left with no other choice, An Yingji agreed and, at Cao Meng's request, gritted her teeth and swore an oath.

……

Cao Meng carried An Yingji to Consort Duanmu's secluded retreat. The two siblings said in unison:

"Disciple requests an audience with Master!"

A moment later, the protective formation was removed, and Consort Duanmu emerged from seclusion.

After Cao Meng carried An Yingji into the palace, he noticed that Consort Duanmu looked somewhat displeased.

Consort Duanmu looked at Cao Meng and An Yingji, who was being held in Cao Meng's arms, and scolded:
"Can you fellow disciples behave yourselves and stop bothering your master all the time!"

Consort Duanmu felt that it was so difficult for her to cultivate in peace, as she was constantly disturbed by these two rebellious disciples.

Fortunately, I was only in seclusion to consolidate my cultivation, not to break through to a higher realm.

An Yingji gave Cao Meng a look, signaling him to put her down from his embrace, and then truthfully reported the situation:
"Master, Yingji didn't want to bother you, but this disciple really had no other choice..."

After learning the whole story, Consort Duanmu scolded:
"You, as the senior sister, tried to trick your junior brother but ended up getting yourself into trouble. How shameful!"

Duanmu Fei was furious; she felt that her two disciples were natural enemies.

Whose senior and junior disciples are constantly sabotaging and hurting each other?

What infuriated Duanmu even more was that An Yingji's cultivation was higher than that of the traitorous disciple, yet she still couldn't defeat him!
