My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 192 Are you okay?

As was customary, Su Ling'er turned around and began to show Ye Longtao around the Guixi Sect.

As she explained, she also diverted her spiritual sense to give Ye Longtao his routine "reverse popular science" lesson.

[Su Ling'er]: Senior Brother Ye, this place is dangerous, with traps everywhere.

[Su Ling'er]: When disciples within the sect fight each other, the loser is directly eliminated; and the weapon refining pavilion and alchemy room even use living people as sacrifices... Remember, be careful in everything you do, observe more and speak less.

Ye Longtao nodded calmly on the surface, pretending to listen attentively, but inwardly he was already sneering.

In his view, these so-called dangers were nothing more than the appearances that only useless outer disciples like Su Ling'er would fear.

He listened to Su Ling'er's "warning" while watching the images playing on a loop on the screen.

The image of the other person's cultivation level almost catching up with his own and the scene of thousands of people worshipping him in his mind finally made him unable to suppress his jealousy, and he began to speak sarcastically.

[Ye Longtao]: That's not right. I think this place is the real place for seeking the Tao. You see, aren't you the best example?
[Ye Longtao]: Even after three years of arduous cultivation at Qingxu Temple, a pseudo-spiritual root can only reach the third level of Qi Refining. Yet here, you can ascend to the heavens in one step. Doesn't this kind of opportunity shake your heart?

Although Ye Longtao tried his best to restrain himself, and in the end he seemed to be testing Su Ling'er's heart, the meaning he revealed still made Su Ling'er feel a chill.

She paused, taking a deep breath.

[Su Ling'er]: Senior Brother Ye, everything I have done is for the righteous path, so that one day the truth of this demon cave can be revealed to the public. I am in darkness, but my heart is turned towards the light. I hope you can understand my good intentions.

[Ye Longtao]: Oh? Really? I hope so too.

He then said no more.

Along the way, Su Ling'er noticed a strange phenomenon.

Today, the sect has an unusually small number of disciples.

None of those figures who usually jump around and cause trouble were to be seen.

Those who were occasionally seen had vacant eyes, stiff movements, and showed no reaction to their passing.

A chill slowly crept up Su Ling'er's spine.

Where have all those troublemakers gone?

Was it... that the senior brother and the others organized them to go out and slaughter a village or attack a minor righteous sect?
Are we leaving behind only these brainwashed, empty shells of puppets?!

Su Ling'er led him through the various sect buildings, and when they finally reached the Sword Tomb, the day's itinerary was complete.

As dusk fell, she noticed that there were more and more disciples in the sect. Had they all slept in late today?
No, it's almost evening and you're only just waking up now!
Even when Ye Longtao went to the Daodao Ladder, his senior brother didn't get involved, which was quite strange.

Without much thought, Su Ling'er led Ye Longtao onto a quiet path leading to the heart of the sect.

……

Meanwhile, on a quiet path.

Lin Qingfeng was in a very good mood today.

I just placed an order for the first-generation "Spark of Life" repair potion, and it's still 20% off!

They say it can improve one's physical condition and slow down aging.

This made him feel refreshed.

Some even fantasize about whether they could cultivate immortality in cyberpunk in real life.

At this moment, he saw Dong Changsheng being dragged over by 'Ji'.

They wanted to test just how strong the "Strong Luck" attribute above this guy's head really was.

"Senior Brother, what brings you here?" Dong Changsheng asked respectfully.

"It's nothing, the time has come to test your strong will!"

Lin Qingfeng smiled kindly, then said to the 'Ji' beside him, "Lift him up."

"Ji" understood immediately and scooped up Dong Changsheng in a net.

He was trapped like a "human ball".

Dong Changsheng panicked immediately: "Senior Brother! Senior Brother Ji! What are you doing?!" "Don't be nervous,"

Lin Qingfeng pulled out a wooden stick from somewhere, weighed it in his hand, and gestured towards Dong Changsheng's ball.
"I'm giving you a chance—a chance to break through your limits, embrace challenges, and achieve success!"

"Don't you always say that the path to strength is inevitably filled with hardship?"
Is every act of suppression a stepping stone to success?
Now, I, your elder brother, will personally step you up and help you soar to new heights!
Don't worry, I won't use spiritual energy, just my physical strength.

Upon hearing this, Dong Changsheng tried to turn his head to Lin Qingfeng and say:

"No! Senior Brother! That's not how you behave! It's not like I can't handle this kind of hardship!"

"Don't you want to join us, my senior brother?"
But I'm afraid... I'm afraid of you, my senior brother!

As the senior disciple of the sect, your status is extremely noble!
Every action you take should be imbued with profound truths, used to enlighten those lost sheep who truly need help!
Using your gift on your disciple is... that's a waste of resources!

You should leave this precious opportunity to your younger schoolmates who need it more!

Lin Qingfeng was stunned.

Good grief, even at this hour, you still haven't forgotten to lecture me?
He smiled.

"What you say makes sense."

"But, I refuse!"

Lin Qingfeng changed the subject, his smile becoming incredibly amiable.
"Since that's what you think, I think it's better to grant your wish!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung the wooden stick and hit him with a "home run"!
……

At the other end of the quiet path.

Ye Longtao, who was following behind Su Ling'er, was certain that Su Ling'er would not dare to turn against him.

So, in front of this good-for-nothing from the outer sect, he became increasingly unrestrained in his words, and countless questions followed one after another.

[Ye Longtao]: Don't you enjoy this power?

[Ye Longtao]: You never experienced this feeling of being worshipped like a god in the sky when you were at Qingxu Temple. In fact, if it weren't for this place, you would probably still be chopping wood in the back mountain right now.

Su Ling'er stopped in her tracks.

Ye Longtao felt a sudden jolt in his heart, but then straightened his back.

Even if a good-for-nothing goes astray, so what?

Su Ling'er stopped, still with her back to him.

Indeed, Ye Longtao was right. If it weren't for this place, he would probably just be a useless outer sect disciple doing odd jobs.

But can't those who are deeply mired in chaos also turn their hearts toward the light?
[Su Ling'er]: Senior Brother Ye, you seem not to understand that here, words have power, and arrogance will bring disaster.

[Su Ling'er]: I may be able to tolerate your personal tests and the humiliation you may or may not have caused, but your contempt for the identity of the Holy Maiden is a challenge to the rules of this place.

The cold, emotionless voice made Ye Longtao's heart clench for no reason, but his arrogance quickly turned into a cold laugh.

What rules?
It's just a bunch of tricks to fool idiots.

[Ye Longtao]: Really? Then let me see how it works...

[Su Ling'er]: It will make you... shut up.

Just then, a dark shadow, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom that tore through the air, slammed into him and sent him flying!
The sarcasm on his face hadn't even faded yet, and the black dot that had just appeared in his pupils was still imprinted on them!
"boom--!!!"

A terrifying impact slammed into his side!

[Su Ling'er]: "???"

No! Have I somehow managed to make my words become law?!

Su Ling'er felt a gust of wind rushing towards her from behind. She watched as Ye Longtao, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was sent flying far away by the dark figure at an odd angle!
And that dark figure was none other than Dong Changsheng, who was sent flying by Lin Qingfeng's "home run"!

Su Ling'er was shocked!
Ah this...

"Senior Brother Dong! Are you alright?!"
