Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

This junior brother has such poor physical fitness, could he really be in the Golden Core stage?

That's impossible, isn't it? If he's at the Golden Core stage, how could she not have noticed?

Although she was only among the first batch to enter the Tribulation Transcending stage, the difference between Tribulation Transcending and Golden Core is worlds apart, and her true level can be seen at a glance.

Moreover, if he were at the Golden Core stage, how could his master not know?

Based on past cases, the spies sent by the Heavenly Demon Sect to infiltrate the righteous path are at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

How could they possibly send someone at the Golden Core stage?

Moreover, she herself was already at the Void Refining stage at the time, while this guy was at the Golden Core stage. Isn't that nonsense?

If his junior brother was at the Golden Core stage, why would his master choose him to be his true disciple?

Unless Master is also blind, but that's impossible.

How could someone at the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage be blind?

"Senior sister, I haven't been feeling well lately, and I can't hold on any longer. Please... please..."

"Junior brother, please bear with me. When I see you again, I will bring you a thousand-year-old ginseng, as well as a thousand-year-old cordyceps, a thousand-year-old deer antler, and a thousand-year-old..."

"No need, Senior Sister. The sect is busy with affairs. You should share Master's burdens more."

Please don't come again! I never expected to run into you here again!

"Master is probably going out to seek opportunities soon. She said she has sensed a breakthrough opportunity and may be away from the sect for a while."

"A breakthrough opportunity? Master is about to break through to the seventh level?"

"We don't know yet. She only said that someone made her realize that barrier, but we don't know who it is."

For some reason, Lu An felt uneasy after hearing these words.

How could he be uneasy? The fact that this witch left the Heavenly Demon Sect to find a breakthrough opportunity means that she won't bother him anymore, and it also means that she won't be given any tasks.

"Ahem, Senior Sister, Zhang Kefan was transported back to the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect. He might not necessarily die. What about this mission?"

"Don't panic, he'll naturally run into trouble on the way back..."

"Senior sister, you have another trick up your sleeve...?"

"Senior sister naturally has a backup plan. If possible, junior brother, you can also serve as an elder of the Spirit Food Hall!"

Lu An stared at Zhao Mengyuan in shock, unsure of what to say.

How does this witch have so many tricks up her sleeve?

He was also appointed as an elder of the Spirit Food Hall?

Who would do this? Wouldn't they kill themselves?

Aside from the Heavenly Demon Sect wanting the Spirit Food Hall Elder dead, I guess other demon sects would want the same thing, right?

This is a high-risk profession! You must not do it!

After bidding farewell to Zhao Mengyuan, Lu An immediately returned to the Yuantian Holy Sect.

After all, he didn't know whose house in Ping'an City he was going to do the mission. Shouldn't the Mission Hall of Guiyuan Tiansheng Sect be in charge of this kind of thing?

However, as soon as Lu An returned to the main gate of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect, he saw a familiar figure there.

Yu Wanqing, the deputy sect leader of the Yuantian Shengzong.

"Sect Master Yu, excellent!"

Lu An forced himself to greet her, and Yu Wanqing was even more surprised when she saw Lu An.

Why do you look like you've just been drained of all your energy? Your face is so haggard and withered.

"Elder Lu, what happened...?" Yu Wanqing asked, staring blankly at Lu An.

"I had some things to do last night; I went to catch the demoness," Lu An said, looking haggard.

Yu Wanqing immediately understood what was going on, and her face darkened again, but at the same time, a slight blush appeared.

"It seems Elder Lu has had a long night. However, I have something to ask you. Elder Lu, please come with me."

"What brings you here, Sect Leader Yu? I am quite exhausted. May I rest for a while before coming back?"

"No, this is a big deal, a matter of your entire life!"

As soon as Lu An arrived, he immediately perked up!

Could it be that my father-in-law has taken a liking to me?

Ahem, just kidding...

"Is it absolutely necessary to go now?"

"They absolutely have to come, so Elder Lu will have to make the trip."

Chapter 139 I am irreconcilably opposed to gambling and drugs

Lu An followed Yu Wanqing into a grand hall.

Outside the main hall stood a row of fully armed disciples of the sect.

Lu An immediately sensed something was wrong.

What's going on? Fighting or going to war? What are they going to do?

As soon as he entered, Lu An felt a sense of oppression.

Something seems off.

The main hall was empty except for a few chairs and a table.

The main hall was also very spacious, with carvings of clouds, dragons, and mythical beasts that Lu An could not recognize on the pillars beside it.

Although I don't quite recognize what's depicted on it, a sense of ancient solemnity is immediately apparent.

Yu Wanqing also gestured, "Please sit down, Elder Lu."

Lu An sat down, looking serious and extremely reserved.

Why does it feel like I've been summoned to the dean's office?

"I wonder why Sect Master Yu summoned me here?"

"Since Elder Lu has asked, I will get straight to the point."

"What do you mean?"

"Who is that woman inside the sound transmission stone?"

"A demoness! Didn't I tell you? There's a demon! I'm exorcising it!"

Lu An earnestly made up a story.

Yu Wanqing didn't laugh: "Elder Lu, to be honest, with that voice, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

A moment of silence fell over the main hall.

"You know how things are in the Hehuan Sect's territory..."

Lu An had no choice but to admit it, even though he was reluctant.

What else can we do? They've already heard everything; pretending now would just make things worse.

Besides, if you have to be so secretive about sleeping with a woman, what about the reputation of an elder in the Enforcement Hall?!

Well, I'm one of the (doubtful) giants of the righteous path now!

Anyone who dares to question me, I'll keep staring at them and scare them to death!

“I shouldn’t interfere in your private life, but that voice sounds very familiar.”

Upon hearing this, Lu An was startled.

I almost forgot, this woman has dealt with Zhao Mengyuan before! And she even fought with him before!

Could it be that he recognized her voice?

"What's so familiar about it? It's just a witch's random shouting."

"Not a demoness, but a demonic demoness. That voice, isn't it Zhao Mengyuan?"

Lu An tilted his head, puzzled: "Huh? What Zhao Mengyuan? The voice just sounds a bit like her, right?"

“I’ve fought with her before, how could I not remember her voice?” Yu Wanqing frowned slightly. “Besides, she called you junior brother. Elder Lu, you were a true disciple of Li Podao of the Heavenly Demon Sect before, and she was also a true disciple of Li Podao. She must be the only one who would call you junior brother, right?”

They've been discovered, but that's not surprising.

Back then, he kept calling me "junior brother," so it's normal that he got caught.

However, Lu An needed to find a suitable excuse because he had realized that something was wrong.

Yu Wanqing, are you trying to lure me into a trap?

In the past, they would discuss matters directly on Jade Void Peak, or just find any place to talk, but now they were talking in this... in this hall that he didn't recognize and had never been before.

It’s weird.

“Actually, you’re mistaken. That’s not her. It’s just that the voice sounds similar.” Lu An quickly came up with a solution. “Just because she calls me junior brother doesn’t mean I’m her junior brother, and she might not be my senior sister.”

"Elder Lu, don't try to fool me! Do I look like someone who's easy to deceive?"

Lu An thought for a moment, silently nodding in his heart, but outwardly shaking his head.

Honestly, I feel like you're a bit easier to fool than my senior sister.

But I won’t say it.

"Sect Master Yu, you may not understand, this is a new business of the Hehuan Sect, called cosplay."

"Kao Si Pu Lei? What's that?"

"It's role-playing!"

"Role-playing? What is that?"

So Lu An began to explain to Yu Wanqing what role-playing was, which took quite a bit of effort.

They also made up some nonsense along the way, basically emphasizing that even nonsense should be plausible.

Don't be fooled by seemingly absurd reasons; when it really matters, any ridiculous excuse can be used to justify it.

"You mean, she was playing the role of your senior sister, which is why she kept calling you junior brother back then...?"

"Yes, as for the voice, it was just a vague sound. Besides, Sect Master Yu, I have completely broken with the Heavenly Demon Sect. How could I possibly find her again?"

"So Elder Lu, you mean... you like..."

"Hehehe, I'm a little embarrassed. I'm a sister-complex person, it's just a personal little hobby," Lu An shamelessly admitted.

What use is a face if it's not enough to clear one's name?

"Elder Lu, although your reason sounds somewhat plausible, but... but..."

"Actually, I didn't want to either. It's all because of that woman, Liu Yunyan! Her seductive skills are terrifying!"

So Lu An began to embellish the story, complaining about all of Liu Yunyan's faults, but this was his old trick.

Framing and exaggerating are essential skills in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"You mean, she came up to you and said she wanted you... wanted your body...?"

"Yes! That witch is ruthless! You know her seductive arts; even those at the Tribulation Transcending stage can't withstand them!"

Yu Wanqing thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense.

After all, her father was indeed a victim of the Hehuan Sect.

No... he's the principal offender! He committed the crime intentionally! He has no immunity!

"And in the end, I didn't do that! I'd rather die than submit! But those Hehuan Sect witches are really deadly! Just resisting their demonic arts took a lot of my energy!" Lu An said with a pained expression, "Sect Master Yu, you have to believe me!"

Yu Wanqing looked at Lu An's face; he looked extremely haggard, as if all his energy had been drained.

I don't know why, but even though everything seems absurd, it somehow sounds kind of reasonable.

"I've heard that the Hehuan Sect's demoness is invincible, let alone the sect leader Liu Yunyan. Elder Lu, thank you for your hard work."

To be clear, this guy is indeed easy to fool.
