Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 20 It's time to prove yourself.
Things turned out beyond Fan Jin and An Zhi's expectations.

Fan Jin thought that with his seniority, everyone would give him face by bringing Anzhi to the main hall, but he didn't expect that he had overestimated his influence. It turned out that everyone was surprisingly in agreement on this matter.

In Luo Ling's view, today's events were quite serious. She regretted banishing Shen Anzhi to the Sanqing Blessed Land. Now it seemed that old man Fan Jin might have developed a slight interest in young Anzhi.

Looking at Anzhi, who was hiding by the door, Luo Ling was filled with hatred. She felt that the cat demon should have killed Anzhi instead.

“Uncle Fan, Ling’er feels that Junior Sister An’s cultivation is still lacking. What if something happens to her when she goes down the mountain? We went to great lengths to find you, Uncle Fan…” Luo Ling wanted to say the other two words on the spot, but then she felt it was inappropriate and withdrew them.

Fan Jin sighed deeply, looking at the group of young people in the hall. He felt more and more that none of them were as capable as An Zhi, so he said, "An Zhi's cultivation is far from lacking. She is stronger than all of you, stronger than all of you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ling and her disciples all laughed contemptuously.

Faced with everyone's doubts, and with Fan Jin already having said all that, Shen Anzhi decided to stop pretending and immediately stood up to retort: ​​"Senior Sister, my skills are far from lacking, and my level is now on par with yours."

"Little brat, don't get arrogant just because Uncle Fan is backing you up!" A loyal fan of Luo Ling jumped out and shouted.

An Zhi smiled dismissively: "Hmph, I'm not arrogant. You can try if you don't believe me."

"Shen Anzhi, get down! Is this a place for you to cause trouble?" Senior Brother Ke Dasheng suddenly stepped forward and reprimanded him.

It didn't matter what others said, but when even Senior Brother Ke, who had almost become her partner, scolded her like this, An Zhi suddenly felt extremely wronged and became at a loss for words: "I, I..."

Just then, Luo Ling thought of a good idea that could both curb Fan Jin's arrogance and potentially eliminate An Zhi. So she said, "Senior Brother, please stop being so mean to Junior Sister. She'll be very sad, hehe."

After speaking triumphantly, Luo Ling reported to the elders: "Elders, since Uncle Fan has recommended Anzhi, Ling'er has nothing to say. However, Anzhi must demonstrate the ability to win people's respect; it's not enough to just talk the talk."

"I have a monster seal!" Anzhi was eager to show off.

"Hmph, having a demon seal is nothing. Here's what we'll do: we have a ready-made fifth-tier demon in our back room. You can go and handle this matter and prove your strength." After saying that, Luo Ling looked at Fan Jin on the stage with disdain.

"Ah, a fifth-tier demon? Has Shen Anzhi gone mad?"

"Even the eldest sister couldn't subdue that fire monster, Shen Anzhi, you should just give up."

"You're not even a Spirit Master yet, and you're going to challenge a fire monster that only Demon Slayers can challenge?"

……

Faced with Luo Ling's dilemma, Elder Taiqing gave Fan Jin a way out: "Senior brother, you should take Shen Anzhi back. How can she provoke the fire monster? Today we are talking about going down the mountain."

“I was also talking about going down the mountain,” Fan Jin suddenly replied firmly.

This made Elder Taiqing lose face, and he said angrily, "Fine, fine, let's go, let Shen Anzhi go."

Luo Ling knew about the fire monster's power and had failed in her three previous attempts to challenge it. This time, she was determined to make Shen Anzhi suffer.

"What if I succeed in the challenge?" An Zhi asked, looking at Luo Ling, who was beaming with pride.

"Hmph!" Luo Ling said with a disdainful laugh, "If you succeed in the challenge, I'll start the fire, and the woodshed will be mine."

An Zhi nodded angrily: "Fine, fine, with so many fellow disciples and elders here, fine, it's settled then."

finished,

Shen Anzhi quickly walked to the top of the main hall, helped Fan Jin up, and prepared to leave the hall.

Watching the old man and the young man walk away unsteadily, not one of them offered any words of advice or comfort.

And so, everyone watched as the two left the main hall.

"Damn it, is this old man out of his mind?" Luo Ling muttered to herself.

Seeing that the spoilsport had left, Elder Taiqing quickly composed himself and calmed down.

"Luo Ling, get ready. In three days, you will go down the mountain to Jiangxin Village to rid it of the demon scourge." In Elder Taiqing's view, Fan Jin and Shen Anzhi's performance in the main hall just now was a comedy, and after the comedy, everyone could just laugh it off and not take it seriously. Luo Ling stepped forward excitedly and replied, "Thank you, Master. Ling'er will not fail your command."

After speaking, Luo Ling made sure to exchange a glance with Ke Dasheng, her face beaming with joy.

Shen Anzhi was furious when he returned to the Sanqing Blessed Land. Luo Ling and everyone's actions today made her and Fan Jin feel that it was time to stand up and prove themselves. Anzhi was determined to win this pledge of loyalty.

"Uncle-Master, do you think I was right this time?" Anzhi squatted down next to the rattan chair, while Fan Jin lay on the rattan chair without saying a word.

After listening to Anzhi's words, Fan Jin, as usual, turned a blind eye and said, "Don't get into a conflict with them."

This was yet another half-finished sentence, and Anzhi called out again, "Uncle-Master..."

Fan Jin opened his eyes, looked at Tao Hua beside him, and said, "Bring me the Jade Flower Sword."

"Alright!" Anzhi quickly went into the house, retrieved the Jade Flower Sword, and handed it to Fan Jin.

Looking at the cold Jade Flower Sword, Fan Jin gathered his spiritual power in his palm, and then stroked the sword, infusing streams of spiritual power into the blade.

“I have infused my spiritual power into the Jade Flower Sword, and its power is affected by your level.” After saying this, Fan Jin continued to lie on the rattan chair and said, “And don’t hurt the fire monster, stop when you’ve made your move.”

"Why? Luo Ling has already bullied me!" An Zhi asked, confused.

Fan Jin: "The fire monster surrendered to the Heavenly Dao a hundred years ago. It is an inextinguishable flame that has served our Sanqing Palace in the rear hall for a hundred years. We cannot do anything foolish because of their provocation."

"Oh," Anzhi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Back inside,

Anzhi told the spirit snake about this, and the spirit snake immediately said excitedly, "This demon is great! Destroying it will increase your spiritual power. You can't miss such a good thing." The spirit snake advocated destroying the fire monster.

“But, but my uncle said to stop when it’s time to stop,” Anzhi emphasized.

"That's what our ancestor said." The spirit snake emphasized again, "Uncle Fan is too old and doesn't want to be labeled as unrighteous, after all, this fire monster has been serving the Sanqing Palace by tending the fire in the back hall for a hundred years."

Anzhi was still in a dilemma: "Am I being unfair?"

“Remember, it’s a demon, and you’re a demon hunter. You’re sworn enemies.” The serpent finished speaking and continued, “Besides, Luo Ling will look down on you even more. She might just stand on your head and poop in the future.”

These words hit the nail on the head. Holding the Jade Flower Sword, An Zhi said resolutely, "I want to prove myself!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main hall of Sanqing Palace
A disciple rushed into the main hall to report: "Senior brother, Shen Anzhi, Shen Anzhi has gone mad. She went to the back hall to look for the fire monster."

The rear hall is where the Sanqing Palace eats, drinks, and relieves itself, and it is also where the disciples of different ranks live.

After hearing this, Luo Ling and Ke Dasheng looked at each other, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.

"Just her alone? Where's Old Man Fan?" Luo Ling asked in surprise, knowing that help was definitely needed for this.

Disciple: "It's just her."

I thought it was just a joke to save face, but she was actually going to challenge a fifth-level monster all by herself.

Although it was hard to believe, Luo Ling still forced a smile and said, "Hehe, this is what Shen Anzhi asked for. Let the fire monster turn her to ashes, so that this stubborn person won't cause any more trouble in the future."

After the disciple who came to deliver the message left, Luo Ling looked at Kodak and asked abruptly, "Are you feeling bad now?"

Ke Dasheng felt sorry for Luo Ling and wanted to stop her, but what could she do in front of her?

Seeing Ke Dasheng's uncomfortable expression, Luo Ling walked out of the main hall with a cold smile.

With hearts full of trepidation, everyone hurried towards the rear hall...
