After the cannon fodder sect accepted me as a disciple, all members ascended

Chapter 48 Pure Man
He kept mumbling, "You'll find out if you accompany me in, but... you must not tell Senior Brother! This is a secret between us."

Yu Jiaojiao's eyes flickered. "Our...secret? We actually have a shared secret?!"

Then he grasped Si Nian's shoulders and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, little sister! I! Will never tell!"

"Um... okay..." Si Nian didn't expect her expression to be so... so... moved.

He was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

He grabbed Yu Jiaojiao, found a deserted big tree, and looked around.

Only then did he stealthily stick the talisman on the two of them.

In a moment, two burly middle-aged male monks appeared in a lively manner.

"Wow, Junior Sister, hello... hello..."

"Awesome, right? I know~" Si Nian took out a small mirror from his arms.

I looked left and right in the mirror, feeling very pleased with myself.

But in Yu Jiaojiao's eyes, he was just a strong bearded man, smiling shyly at the mirror.

"Um... sort of."

Si Nian put away the mirror contentedly, and the two of them walked into Qianji Pavilion side by side.

There weren't many people inside. As soon as the two of them entered, the shopkeeper who was dozing off behind the desk suddenly brightened up his eyes when he saw Si Nian!
"Hey, you're finally here!"

Then he quickly stood up, fanning himself, and trotted towards the two of them eagerly.

I was in a hurry when I came here last time and didn’t have time to take a good look.

This time, Si Nian looked carefully and saw the words "honesty to children and the elderly" written on the front of the shopkeeper's fan.

It says genuine on the back.

The background is a collection of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

With his squinty eyes and goatee, it's really...wonderful.

Si Nian cleared his throat and lowered his voice, acting like a man who was often on the road.

"How's business lately?"

"Thanks to you! The Xiuxian World Beauty Contest you organized, this way of interacting with everyone, really boosted my business!"

"Then this..." Si Nian tapped his fingers on the desk.

Then, under the shopkeeper's gaze, he rubbed his thumb and index finger together, making a gesture of counting money.

The shopkeeper immediately understood and said repeatedly: "I know, I know!"

Then he pulled out a bulging purse from his pocket and said, "It's all ready, just waiting for you."

"Hmm--!" Si Nian dragged out the tone and nodded with satisfaction.

He weighed it in his hands.

It’s the portion you like!

Yu Jiaojiao was confused. The eldest senior brother always taught them to stay away from Qianji Pavilion.

The last time he caught me, he kept nagging me for a long time.

But why does Junior Sister look... very familiar with the shopkeeper here?
"By the way, you didn't believe the story about the Lianxu Sect I told you about last time? How's the investigation going now?"

Si Nian asked casually while wiping the spirit stone.

"Oh my! You guessed it right!" The shopkeeper clapped his hands, unable to hide his excitement.

"Before, you said that Xie Wusheng, the direct disciple of Lianxu Sect, might have some unspeakable hidden illness. At that time, I thought you were joking!"

"Who would have thought? I sent someone to investigate for several days, and you were right!"

Si Nian paused, looked at the shopkeeper, and motioned him to continue.

"It seems like it was in that little secret realm a while ago. I heard that one day when Xie Wusheng woke up, he seemed like a completely different person!"

"He's a grown man, crying and making a fuss in his sect, saying things like 'it's none of his business' and 'he was just fixing someone's facial expressions'."

"What facial expression?" Si Nian's curiosity was piqued.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, he fainted while crying, but their sect has never been named after the soul."

"It's hard to say, maybe he was injured during the competition between the disciples?"

Si Nian listened, thought for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, shouldn't their sect have a corresponding solution?"

"Yes, but his eldest disciple keeps trying to commit suicide!" "Trying to commit suicide? So serious?" Si Nian's pupils widened slightly.

"Tsk, that's right. Later, it seemed that their sect leader asked the sect leader of Guiyuan Sect for help and bought some elixirs, and only then did they feel at peace."

Si Nian didn't say anything, just thought silently in his heart.

The people who entered the secret realm changed.

In the novel, this secret place is clearly where Xie Wusheng and Shen Rou first met.

But Xie Wusheng disappeared, and instead the Guiyuan Sect, which had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, sent its own disciple over.

And he even specified that he only wanted the Purple Rhythm Fairy Ganoderma.

From that moment on, Si Nian had a vague feeling that there must be some connection between the two.

So before returning to the sect, she sneaked into Qianji Pavilion.

Making a little money by selling a small amount of gossip is one thing.

On the other hand, although Qianji Pavilion is a place of gossip, it does have its own ways.

So she released a piece of false news that she had guessed, deliberately making it sound certain, and let Qianji Pavilion find out the truth themselves.

Unexpectedly... I actually found out something.

The shopkeeper saw that she didn't say anything and smiled.

"Just recently... do you have any other news? It would be better if it was more detailed, more in-depth, and..."

"Excuse me, all the gossip that was circulating a few days ago was bought from you, right?"

Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, a familiar, polite, yet sinister voice suddenly came from the door.

The moment Si Nian and Yu Jiaojiao heard this voice, they froze!

Big...big big big big big senior brother?
The shopkeeper looked up, not panicking at all, and continued with his head down: "It's okay, it's another troublemaker. Why should I be afraid of them in this business? Come, let's continue..."

You are not afraid, but I am!

Si Nian cursed inwardly and quickly put away all the spirit stones one by one.

"Next time, I have something to do today, I'll come to you next time if I have any news!"

"Eh? Leaving now? No...no, you don't want to drink tea?"

“Next time, next time…”

He collected the money, grabbed the hand of Yu Jiaojiao, who was lowering her head, and prepared to leave.

Although both of them had disguise talismans on their bodies, when they met Mingchen here, they both had guilty consciences written all over their faces.

Especially Si Nian!
He forced himself to pass by Mingchen and walked out of Qianji Pavilion.

Si Nian and Yu Jiaojiao looked at each other, and the image of a frightened burly man was reflected in their eyes.

"run!"

"it is good!"

Just as the two were about to run away, they heard a melodious flute sound.

Suddenly, the soles of their feet seemed to be rooted to the ground. They wanted to move, but their bodies were completely out of their control.

It’s over.

This thought flashed through Si Nian's mind, and then she saw her senior brother who was usually spotless and gentle as jade.

He walked towards them with a grin on his teeth.

"Why are you two fellow Daoists in such a hurry? We should have met before, right?"

"No!" Yu Jiaojiao spoke first.

Si Nian nodded vigorously and agreed, "Absolutely not!"

"Really? I thought you two were my two disappointing junior sisters." Ming Chen said sarcastically.

Yu Jiaojiao suddenly looked at Si Nian with wide eyes, and Si Nian swallowed hard.

The dead duck said stubbornly: "How is it possible?! We are men! Real men! Let us go quickly!"

"Oh..." Mingchen's gaze slowly looked at the two of them, and finally settled on one point.

"Real men... going out hand in hand?"

　Sorry for the long wait, guys. There were some issues over the past couple of days, but they've been completely resolved now. I'll keep updating!
　　To express my apology, here are three more updates!
