How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"That..."

Ding Bu scratched his head, somewhat speechless, and said, "My father passed away before I was born, which was, uh, more than three hundred years ago!"

"Ah this!"

Lu Jiu's eyes widened: "Then I'll kidnap your mother!"

“My mother passed away after giving birth to me.”

Ding Bu told the truth: "I was raised by the sect."

Lu Jiu: "!!!"

"That……"

Lu Jiu turned to look at Duanmu Qiaofeng: "What about Senior Sister..."

"Oh, I got it!"

Duanmu Qiaofeng immediately understood: "So it's time to tie up my parents, right?"

"Ah, yes..."

Lu Jiu felt that something was off about what was being said... No, everything in the conversation had been strange since just now!

"Well, you're going to be disappointed..."

Duanmu Qiaofeng waved her hand: "My parents were sent out on some mission before I could remember, and I haven't seen them since."

"Yes, it was probably more than three hundred years ago!"

"so……"

Duanmu Qiaofeng and Ding Bu exchanged a glance, then asked doubtfully, "We really don't know if kidnapping family members as a threat is actually effective?"

"Yeah, yeah, it sounds like something a bandit would do..."

"I think so too. Those who cultivate themselves take the world as their home, so how can they be bound by family..."

Lu Jiu: "..."

He felt terrible watching his senior classmates take turns undermining him.

He was decades younger than the two of them, and that's how this age gap came about?

Lu Jiu did have a happy childhood, but later, when Tianmen was destroyed, his parents also perished, which is why he harbored such deep hatred for the Five Elements Sect and other righteous sects...

But he never expected that he would be the exception among the three.

This is outrageous!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Jiu composed himself and tried to explain in a simple and easy-to-understand way to his senior brothers and sisters: "Um..."

Duanmu Qiaofeng and Ding Bu: "Hmm?"

"Well, for example, for example..."

Lu Jiu pointed to himself and gave an example: "Take me for example, your junior brother!"

Suddenly, one day, he was captured alive!

Then, the kidnappers use me to threaten you, forcing you to keep it a secret from everyone around you and go alone to a certain place to rescue someone.

Furthermore, I can't let anyone else know, or I'll be killed. You'll definitely be in a dilemma, right?

"Hmm? Do you understand now that I've explained it this way?"

"They actually got captured alive..."

Ding Bu's face darkened, and he glared at Lu Jiu: "Useless thing! How did the Heavenly Gate produce such a piece of trash as you!"

Listen carefully: only those who die standing tall and upright are considered Tianmen people; no one is allowed to kneel and beg for mercy, or live a wretched life!

Lu Jiu: "???"

"No, I was just giving an example..."

"Sigh, there's really no other way in this situation."

Duanmu Qiaofeng sighed: "After all, you are our junior brother..."

"really!"

Lu Jiu felt a warmth in her heart: "Senior sister, you still care about me. You can understand what I mean, right?"

"Ok!"

Duanmu Qiaofeng nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will never let the kidnappers do as they please."

I will definitely bring my fellow disciples to find that person, grind their bones to dust, and offer this as a sacrifice to your soul!

Lu Jiu: "???"

"That, isn't..."

Lu Jiu pointed to himself, his eyes widening: "What about me? Does that mean I'm doomed to die?"

"if not?"

Duanmu Qiaofeng asked curiously, "You've already been captured alive, do you still think about escaping alive?"

"Yes, yes."

Ding Bu let out a long breath, looked at Lu Jiu, and said apologetically, "Don't blame your senior brother for being so blunt. At that point, regardless of whether we cooperate or not, you will be dealt with."

That's why I said, rather than being used and killed in humiliation, it's better to die with dignity like a man!

To avoid not only dying myself, but also implicating my fellow disciples in the sect.

"Senior brother is right. What do you mean by not letting me call anyone and going alone? It's obviously a trap!"

"Indeed! Going there would not only fail to save people, but would also put yourself in danger."

"Of course not, no one would be so stupid as to fall for that kind of trick!"

"Ha, how could anyone be so stupid? No way, no way, no one would actually be foolish enough to go alone?"

"That's right. Even if we rescue you, how can we be sure you haven't been turned?"

"Exactly, exactly. What if your mind is manipulated or something? Then you might betray us again..."

"hiss---"

Both men gasped simultaneously: "Traitors must die!"

Lu Jiu: "..."

Who is he? Where is he? What was he going to say?

"Pfft, hahahahahaha!" *2

Hei Yang and Hong Li laughed unrestrainedly, their laughter almost perfectly synchronized.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, I can't take it anymore, Hei Yang/Hong Li, save me, hahaha, stop them from making me laugh again, hahaha..."

Well, probably, it seems, it appears, this is a malicious mockery!

"Ahem, well, how should I put it..."

Hongli wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down: "Actually, I think what they said makes a lot of sense."

"Hmm, but reality never works out with us."

Hei Yang shrugged: "Well, I feel that those five people who could hold back their laughter are definitely talented individuals."

"You're all you do is spout sarcastic remarks, you're no good..."

Hongli buried her head in her knees, laughing so hard she almost shook: "If you were there, you wouldn't dare laugh either!"

"That's true."

Hei Yang shrugged and glanced at Hong Li: "But it's not like you're just making sarcastic remarks. You haven't stopped either."

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!"

Hongli peeked her head out from under her arms, trying to look at Heiyang calmly, but couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"Me too, I never said I was a good person, and I'm not a good person either, are you satisfied now!"

"Goodness, a one-for-one trade, huh?"

Hei Yang smiled and continued looking into the house on the other side.

Lu Jiu was truly speechless. His two senior brothers and sisters were deliberately sabotaging him, trying to dump all the blame on him again...

"I know……"

Lu Jiu sighed and said, "I will implement the method I proposed."

"Oh dear, won't this be too much trouble for you, junior brother?"

Ding Bu looked troubled: "If you really have any difficulties, you must speak up!"

"Yes, yes, junior brother, you're taking full responsibility all by yourself, it must be quite tiring..."

Duanmu Qiaofeng said with a pained expression, "If word gets out that our Suantianmen sect is abusing its fellow disciples, that would be terrible..."

"Alright, alright, that's enough."
