After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 332 My Sect
Fifteen minutes later, the two newly appointed workers were working with blank expressions.

Mo Jiuwei threw talismans to blast holes and also blast crystals, while the two of them were responsible for cleaning up the fallen crystals and using the knife that Mo Jiuwei provided to cut and sort them.

After the crystals were arranged into small piles according to their quality, Mo Jiuwei then stored them in her immortal abode.

While doing these things, Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu were filled with grief and indignation, and even more so, they were questioning the meaning of life!

They never expected things to turn out this way.

They clearly intended to kill the little girl after realizing there was no formation here, but before they could even make a move, they saw the spiritual fire in the little girl's palm.

The spiritual fire was extremely hot, scorching in the cramped cave. They could feel its heat even before they stood in front of it, and their faces turned pale with fright.

If the cave hadn't been so narrow that it would have taken some effort to turn around, they probably would have turned around and run away without hesitation!
They couldn't leave, and then they were forced to work as laborers.

The two of them worked hard doing dirty and tiring jobs while secretly glancing at Mo Jiuwei.

Evil, so evil!
The appearance of a child in this secret realm is already very strange and unreasonable, but what is even more unreasonable is that she actually has spiritual fire and came here alone to dig for crystals!
Each of these things is utterly absurd if it happened to one person, but now they've all come together and happened to the same person—it's truly unbelievable.

At first, Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu thought that Mo Jiuwei might be someone's child, and that the person in charge of this crystal cave was just temporarily away, so they sent such a young child to guard it.

However, the two did not see that person. Instead, they saw Mo Jiuwei take out stacks of talismans and then blow up holes with very smooth movements. It was obvious that she was the one who did what had happened before.

This made their minds increasingly foggy, and with no one to answer their many questions, they were extremely frustrated.

"What are you staring at? Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

Mo Jiuwei noticed their occasional glances and couldn't help but sneer. With a flick of her finger, a flame shot up onto their eyebrows.

"what--"

They screamed, thinking they were going to die, but when they reached out to touch their eyebrows, they realized she had burned them off!
They looked at each other, speechless. Normally, the other person's bald, eyebrowless appearance would have been quite funny, but at this moment, neither of them could laugh. Instead, they felt a chill creeping over them.

This little girl has actually mastered the spiritual fire to such an extent!
It's important to know that the more indiscriminately you burn large items, the simpler it is, while smaller, more delicate items require a greater ability to control the fire.

If the two of them were to use magic to burn the fire, they could at most control the burning of one person's hair, and they would inevitably damage the scalp along the way.

It's simply impossible to burn off a person's eyebrows without damaging the skin.

But she can do it!
At that moment, the thought of "enduring it for now and then finding an opportunity to kill her" flashed briefly in their minds like a flame flickering in Mo Jiuwei's heart before disappearing.

They were completely disheartened and dejectedly did the work for Mo Jiuwei as requested.

They were utterly devastated. Had they known they would encounter such an absurd situation, they would never have entered the cave under any circumstances.

Why not just go out and explore? Even if there are fewer good things, it's not like there's nothing at all. Every little bit helps, so why bother taking a detour into the mountains?
Now look what's happened; who knows what fate awaits them.

Mo Jiuwei took out a soft cushion from her immortal abode and poured herself a cup of fruit tea that she had brewed earlier. She then sat cross-legged on the cushion, holding the hot tea in her hands and slowly drinking it, thoroughly enjoying herself.

"How boring. Tell us your story. Why did you enter the secret realm, and why did you find this place?"

Mo Jiuwei yawned listlessly and said. And so the two began to talk.

It's actually a rather dull story. One of them is an illegitimate child from a small family, and unfortunately, both his parents are dead, so he has to make a living on his own from a young age.

The other was a child from a poor family, whose parents had low cultivation levels and no good resources for his cultivation.

Like many independent cultivators in this world, he's not doing too well, but he's not in a terrible state either.

They are simply busy making a living, toiling away every day just to seek that sliver of hope for a better future.

Mo Jiuwei was already sleepy, and listening to their boring stories made her even sleepier.

"...We acquired quite a few things a few days ago, but since then we haven't been able to find anything good. Later we found out that disciples from a sect had entered this secret realm. Each group of them numbered a hundred, and they left nothing but desolation in their wake. It's outrageous!"

"Yes, if they hadn't cleared everything off the road, we wouldn't have ended up here looking for something, and... and we even ran into you."

As they talked, they started to feel aggrieved, and when they mentioned that mysterious sect, they were full of resentment.

It is clear that they believe the reason they ended up in Mo Jiuwei's hands doing hard labor and even risking their lives is all thanks to that sect.

Mo Jiuwei listened to them with an inscrutable expression. After they finished speaking, she said "Oh" and slowly opened her mouth, "That is the Immortal Sect, my sect."

The two: ?
They stiffly turned their necks, staring at Mo Jiuwei in disbelief.

Mo Jiuwei smiled at them, appearing very friendly and harmless.

The two: !
The expressions on their faces at that moment were priceless, shifting from black to white, from red to green, so embarrassed they wanted to disappear into a crack in the rock.

"What are you afraid of? I didn't blame you for this." Mo Jiuwei waved her hand. "By the way, you've been traveling in the secret realm these past few days, have you seen a man in gray?"

She described what the man she had seen at the hot spring looked like.

The two thought for a moment, then shook their heads. "We've never seen them before. In the past few days, we've only seen three other rogue cultivators, the team from the Immortal Sect, and you."

Well, Mo Jiuwei hadn't held out much hope anyway.

That man's cultivation level is extraordinary. Unless he willingly reveals himself, it is impossible for these two people, given their cultivation levels, to see him.

Zhu Gengtian stole a glance at Mo Jiuwei, then whispered, "Aunt...Master, um, after we finish our work, will we still be alive?"

Chen Xiu also looked at her nervously.

"What do you think?" Mo Jiuwei raised her eyes calmly.

The two of them immediately looked miserable.

Sure enough, all that awaited them was the fate of being discarded after their usefulness was over; once their usefulness was exhausted, their lives were in danger.
