My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 262 The world is cold and indifferent; people's hearts have changed!
The so-called righteous path doesn't seem to be a good thing, and the internal reaction of this demonic sect is indeed that of a demonic sect.

But the actions of the senior brother and some of them... didn't seem to be the kind of evil cultivators she remembered? This always left her with a strange feeling, because the senior brother had never killed ordinary people after entering the city, at most he would just play pranks on them.

But no matter what, she didn't want any of them to step into the quagmire of cultivating immortality.

"Stop thinking about these things. Eat your food properly. I'm going to take all those fantasy novels from your rooms later."

"what?!"

Su Wenxuan and Su Wenjing both gasped in surprise. Su Wenxuan dropped his chopsticks on the table and stood up abruptly, his face full of defiance.

"Why, sister! I saved up my allowance for so long to buy those storybooks!" The younger sister, Su Wenjing, immediately reddened her eyes as she tugged at Su Ling'er's sleeve and shook it repeatedly.

"No, sister! I still want to read the story of the sword immortal Li Xiaobai! He hasn't defeated the great demon king yet!"

“Exactly!” Su Wenxuan chimed in, “Sister, you’ve become an immortal, why won’t you let us watch anymore? Didn’t you used to love watching these things the most?”

Seeing her younger siblings' aggrieved and angry expressions, Su Ling'er sighed inwardly.

These storybooks are harmful! They depict the cultivation of immortality as something wonderful, which led these two children to have fantasies about it, believing it to be a broad road full of joys and sorrows and romantic adventures.

Little did they know how many bones and conspiracies lay on this path, and that if they lowered their guard against cultivators because of it, they might face eternal damnation.

Looking at her younger siblings' pouting lips, she felt a little helpless, but when she thought of the bloodshed that had occurred in the canyon, her heart hardened again. She reached out and touched her younger sister's head.

"Wenjing, the stories in the folk tales are all lies."

"When you're a little older and have a more basic understanding of the world, I'll give the storybooks back to you. Remember, right now, I can't let you be misled by those unrealistic dreams anymore."

Although Su Wenxuan and Su Wenjing were still pouting and looking unhappy, they didn't dare to say anything more after seeing their sister's uncompromising gaze. They just sat back down angrily and poked at the rice in their bowls with their chopsticks as if venting their anger.

After a satisfying meal, the family members dispersed.

Su Ling'er carried a lantern and led the way, leading Lin Qingfeng through the corridor to the residence arranged for him. The rain had stopped, and water droplets clung to the banana leaves outside the corridor, shimmering in the glow of the lantern.

"No, is it really necessary?" Lin Qingfeng followed behind, breaking the silence as he looked at the silent figure ahead. This reminded him of some unpleasant memories from his childhood. "It's just reading a storybook, isn't it a bit much to take all of someone's books away?"

Su Ling'er stopped and turned around. The lantern light illuminated her serious face. She first smiled apologetically at Lin Qingfeng: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Senior Brother. I just... didn't want them to bring shame to Guixi Sect."

"The cultivation world depicted in those novels is too superficial; how could it possibly capture even a fraction of the brilliance of someone like Senior Brother?"

"If they read those fabricated stories and start to believe that all immortals are so pedantic, wouldn't it be terrible if they met a true hero like Senior Brother but didn't recognize a true god and offended him?"

"In the stories, the righteous path is the righteous path, and immortals are virtuous and wise, slaying demons and monsters, and caring for all living beings. The demonic path is the demonic path, committing all kinds of evil and killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"This simplistic division can create a false sense of trust in people who have never been to this world. They will think that as long as the other party is a so-called righteous person, they can be entrusted with something and even have a natural feeling of trust."

She remembered Elder Huohua of the Heavenly Furnace Sect and his demeanor back then.

"Take that elder from the Heavenly Furnace Sect we met in the canyon, for example. In the stories, people of that status are portrayed as venerable and compassionate seniors. But in reality? The moment he opened his mouth, he demanded that someone pay with their life."

"Moreover, since they lack spiritual roots and cannot enter the cultivation world, it is advisable for them to maintain a sense of awe and skepticism towards all unfamiliar and powerful beings. After all, a cultivator's mere thought can destroy an entire street in the aftershocks of a battle. The lives of mortals may be... insignificant in their eyes. If they encounter them instead of a true hero like Senior Brother, it is best to run as far away as possible."

"So... let's just accept it, lest they become narrow-minded and ignorant."

Lin Qingfeng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Wow? This sounds...so nice to hear.

Although I know you're just flattering me, this angle is really clever, and you've also managed to subtly praise yourself as a "true hero."

Good, very promising!
Lin Qingfeng nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed, what kind of cultivation world is that? It's just for fooling children."

The two continued walking quietly under the corridor. Su Ling'er carried a lantern, but her thoughts drifted away. Her senior brother always declared with righteous indignation that Guixi Sect was the righteous path, which was the most absurd joke she had ever heard.

But... what she witnessed in Anhe City today has given her new confusion.

According to the storybook, a senior disciple from a demonic sect led his disciples into a mortal city, which should have been a disaster. Massacres, soul-refining, and the abduction of young boys and girls should have been commonplace, and the author had prepared himself to fight to the death. However, the senior disciple and his companions did not.

They would even go out on the streets begging like beggars, but they didn't indiscriminately kill any innocent people, emmm, although their behavior did cause some riots.

This was in stark contrast to the cruel scenes she had witnessed within the sect, where fellow disciples' lives were treated like dirt.

Could it be... that the demons of the Guixi Sect are only internal?

Or perhaps, in their eyes, mortals are too weak to be worth their energy to kill?
Regardless of the possibility, it shows that the Guixi Sect is not the kind of evil cultivators she initially imagined, who exist purely for evil and killing. At least for ordinary people, they don't have to live in constant fear of being killed one day...

This widened the rift in her heart once again.

Lin Qingfeng didn't care about this. He followed Su Ling'er to a secluded courtyard.

Su Ling'er pushed open the courtyard gate: "Senior Brother, please stay here tonight. This is the best guest room in the manor."

Lin Qingfeng peeked inside, then turned to Su Ling'er: "Guest room?"

"Shouldn't I be staying in the main room? How did you end up here?"

Su Ling'er stood there, stunned. "Wait...aren't you a guest?! Where are you going to stay if not in the guest room? Do you intend to stay in my parents' room?!"

This statement, which was completely in line with the player's logic and extremely restrained, overturned Su Ling'er's understanding. After all, it was commonplace for players to occupy the host's position, and they wouldn't even ask a question. It was considered that the original host's family was not left to wander the streets or die outside.

Looking at her dazed expression, Lin Qingfeng continued, "Alas, the world is cold and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be! I praised you so much at the dinner table, but you won't even let me stay in a proper room."

Su Ling'er felt a headache coming on from his words. It was so hard to come up with lies every day!

"Oh dear! It was my oversight!"

"As the eldest disciple, even if this entire Su mansion were used as your palace, it would still be beneath you!"

"But... but my parents are just ordinary people with traditional ideas. If we ask them to give up the main house, it might disturb them and cause unnecessary trouble."

"Our senior brother has always been compassionate towards ordinary people, with a heart as vast as the sea. He certainly wouldn't stoop to the level of a mortal... right?"

She blinked her big eyes, which were sparkling with excitement. Lin Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh at her expression.

This junior sister is no longer unruly at all; on the contrary, she's quite cunning. However... the feeling of being pampered is indeed much more enjoyable.

"Alright, alright." Lin Qingfeng waved his hand, looking magnanimous. "I don't want to disturb the old man either."

"Furthermore, this guest room also has its own 'way'. This guest room is located in a corner of the courtyard, in the 'guest' position, which is in accordance with the etiquette of 'guests from afar are welcome' and the principle of 'the way does not disturb the mundane'."

"I'll condescend to stay here and experience ordinary life."

"Senior Brother, you are truly virtuous!" Su Ling'er immediately gave a thumbs up, her face full of admiration. "To be able to regard worldly affairs as fleeting clouds and be content with whatever comes your way—this is the true realm of an immortal! This disciple has learned a great deal!"

Lin Qingfeng felt completely pleased by these flattering words.

If the emotional value is provided effectively, then as the "big boss," I can't be too stingy, right?
He felt around in his sleeve. He had originally only intended to give something casually, but now he decided to add a little something extra.

"Alright, stop filming. If you keep filming, they'll fly into the sky."

Lin Qingfeng smiled and shook his head, then took out two items from his storage bag and casually tossed them to Su Ling'er.

One piece is a piece of light gauze folded neatly.

The other item is a blue jade pendant with simple carvings.

"Since you're so good with words, here's a treat for you."
