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

The two reached an agreement and decided to test Lu An.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you running? Don't you know how dangerous this is?"

Lu An asked with concern, not wanting any innocent people to be dragged into the aftermath of the two women's struggle.

After all, not everyone has the same good luck as him.

"Young friend, are you one of my people?"

The eldest brother released his demonic sense to investigate, but he couldn't detect anything. He couldn't even discern the species of the person in front of him, let alone their cultivation level.

It’s weird.

"What do you mean, 'one of your own kind'? What kind of clan are you?" Lu An was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding what this person meant.

“They are not from our tribe.”

"That's not how it works. We didn't reveal our identities, so how could it know we were of the same kind?"

"Do you dare reveal your identity? What if you're not? Wouldn't that expose you?"

The two were plotting endlessly, but Lu An saw them staring at each other, occasionally moving their mouths, pursing their lips, and twitching their ears.

What's going on? Are these two mentally ill?

It's not surprising, isn't it? How many cultivators aren't mentally sound?

If he's mentally ill, then wouldn't we be less afraid of him?

Since he wasn't afraid of them, he'd better try to please these two lunatics to avoid getting beaten up.

Lu An immediately changed his tone: "Haha, yes, yes, we are of the same race! We are of the same race!"

After hearing what Lu An said, the second brother turned his head and asked in confusion, "Are you from the same clan? Are you from our clan?"

Lu An nodded, excitedly saying, "Yes, my kinsmen! Hello! I am your half-brother, who was lost and separated from you!"

The two looked at each other, clearly not understanding what "half-father, half-mother" meant.

But seeing their expressions, Lu An couldn't help but feel smug.

Hmph, they've been intimidated this time, haven't they?

"What did he mean by 'brother'?"

"They're said to be half-brothers, but what does 'half-brothers' even mean?"

"I don't know either. I do know about half-siblings, half-brothers, and full siblings. I learned these from human cultivators, but I don't know what half-brothers mean." The second brother shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what it meant.

"Should we agree or not?"

"Let's agree to it for now. Maybe he's just testing us?"

After the two demons finished communicating telepathically, they made their decision.

“That’s right, we are your half-brothers.” The eldest brother nodded and smiled.

"Hey, it's been so many years! I've finally found you all!" Upon hearing this, Lu An was overjoyed. These guys actually believed it! They really are mentally ill!

"So, what are you two brothers planning to do here?"

"We? Oh, we saw people fighting from a distance and were wondering who they were, so we flew over to see."

"Oh, I see!" Lu An suddenly realized that these guys had come to watch the show.

I knew it! How could anyone wander out in this desolate wilderness? Which normal cultivator doesn't have a job? Which one doesn't need to find work to earn spirit stones? Why are they just loitering around here?

such as……

"Hey, you two beautiful ladies over there, you have the latest seasonal styles of clothing, made from the finest silks that have traveled all the way from the west! Anyone interested in learning more?"

A streak of light flashed across the sky; it was a cultivator selling clothes. He rode in a carriage filled with various garments, while many beautiful and colorful clothes hung outside.

"roll!"

The two women shouted at the poor clothes seller in unison.

"Alright! Let's go! Let's go!"

The two women's earth-shattering roar startled the man, who immediately pulled on the reins and rode away.

This is how cultivators without a sect, or those who have joined a small sect, make a living: selling various things to obtain spirit stones in exchange for cultivation resources.

However, cultivators in major sects and organizations do not need to be so humble; they only need to do their own job well.

Therefore, a famous sect leader once said that 996 is a blessing for cultivators! Don't look down on 996! It's enough to keep people focused, and it's not surprising that those with some ability can advance to the Void Refinement stage or even obtain the resources to reach the Tribulation Transcending stage!

Since cultivators do not need to sleep, some powerful sects in the cultivation world have recently been implementing an even more inhumane 007 work system.

Lu An also heard rumors that, after deliberation by the Cultivators' Labor Association, cultivators only need to meditate and rest for half an hour each day, and can work during the rest of the time. They could try to further reduce the 007 work schedule.

"Those two women are so loud? They don't even have the strength to fight, do they?"

"Don't panic. This is how female human cultivators are. It is said that male human cultivators call these women tigresses, and their roar is called the 'Lion's Roar'."

The two of them do have a good understanding of human society, but their understanding is somewhat flawed in terms of direction and meaning. If someone were to hear their inner thoughts, they probably wouldn't know how to respond.

"Gentlemen, since we are all of the same race, why don't we help each other and take down these two?"

Unsure whether to intervene, the two suddenly thought of Lu An, a fellow clansman standing beside them.

"Me, take down these two?" Lu An pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered, then shook his head frantically like a rattle-drum: "No, no, no, I won't do it! I won't do it!"

"Brother, don't panic! We're half-brothers, how could we possibly harm you!?"

"Yes! We're right behind you, your solid support! Don't panic! Don't worry! If those two women make a move, we'll definitely stop them!"

When the two saw that Lu An had refused, they quickly tried to persuade him.

It's astonishing that one's own kind is so cowardly. It seems that living alone here has made one overly cautious. It's necessary to reawaken the courage of a demon from beyond the realm who is not afraid of the Heavenly Dao!

However, Lu An's thoughts were very simple. He only had one idea: what these two guys who had just met said was completely unreliable.

Besides, they are two mentally ill people. Who would dare to believe what these people say?

Maybe, but probably only complete idiots.

"I can't go! You guys go! You guys go!" Lu An was determined to refuse and wouldn't listen to reason.

Perhaps fearing being targeted again, Lu An quickly turned and left, afraid of being called out.

"Elder Lu!"

"Junior Brother Lu!"

However, what he feared most came to pass. Before Lu An could take two steps, those two cold voices came at the same time.

Lu An, like a student undergoing military training, froze on the spot immediately upon being called by the two, then quickly turned around to face them.

"So, you two, the negotiations have yielded results?" Lu An asked with a nervous smile.

"come over!"

Without any further words, the two gave Lu An his orders.

So Lu An obediently walked over, but his steps seemed a little stiff.

"We feel there's no point in continuing, so you choose. Between the two of us, who are you going to choose?"

Alright! So that's the conclusion of the two heroines' discussion! They've thrown the problem back at me! Truly worthy of being called heroines!

"How can you two say that? Take you, Senior Sister, for example. Although I'm no longer with the Heavenly Demon Sect, I still have feelings for you. But you can't say it like that. I'm now a righteous person, a member of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect. As for personal relationships, because of my position, I think... well..."

"Stop talking nonsense, so you just want to choose Yu Wanqing?"

Zhao Mengyuan exuded a strong killing intent.

"I don't mean... I mean..."

"No? Elder Lu, do you mean you want to return to the Demonic Path?"

Yu Wanqing exuded a strong killing intent.

"No...no, sigh, I..."

Caught between the two women, Lu An was at a loss.

"What do you mean, 'not'? You must give us an answer today!"

Chapter 242 The So-Called Feigned Indifference

Seeing the two aggressive guys, Lu An didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Speak up, Junior Brother Lu!"

"Speak up, Elder Lu!"

Seeing that Lu An had not moved for a long time, the two continued to press him for answers.

Lu An didn't know how to answer. He never expected to encounter the most unexpected situation at the most unexpected time.

Now two women are pursuing him, what should he do?

Meanwhile, the two demons watching this scene couldn't help but feel worried.

"I originally thought he was deserting in the face of battle, but it turns out he was just playing hard to get!"

"Yes, he immediately attracted the attention of those two female cultivators. This fellow clansman is truly capable!"

"But this young man has been persecuted, shouldn't we do something about it?"

"Yes, shouldn't we do something? How can we let this young man face the enemy alone?"

The two men discussed it amongst themselves, realizing that they had misunderstood the young man. They had thought he was trying to run away, but it turned out he was using another method to attract the enemy's attention!

As expected, we're all of one mind! People of the same race are truly of the same race! Living among humans all this time really makes a difference! Our thoughts are completely different from theirs!

"Here you go!"

Seeing that Lu An did not answer for a long time, the two women spoke in a commanding tone.

So Lu An could only slowly walk towards the two of them, but he stopped halfway there.

How can a real man be ordered around and belittled by two women?

A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long?

Such humility contradicts the persona one wants to cultivate.

The two of them noticed Lu An had stopped and were puzzled.

What is this guy trying to do?

"Don't drag me into your dispute. Sometimes I don't need a reason to do things," Lu An said with a serious expression.

"Elder Lu, what do you mean by this?"

"Junior Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"

After hearing what Lu An said, the two couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"That's exactly what I mean. I don't need to explain my actions to anyone, and besides, I never care about romantic relationships."

Lu An turned his back, leaving the two with a desolate and lonely silhouette.

For a moment, it was as if a desolate and sorrowful melody was playing around Yu Wanqing and Zhao Mengyuan, as if someone were really playing music beside them.

However, when the two looked up, they found that there were indeed two people on Lu An's left and right sides, one playing the zither and the other playing the erhu.

What the hell is this? What the hell is this?

The music played by the two on the nine-stringed zither and the erhu was extremely desolate, truly evoking a sense of autumn winds and sorrowful times.

That's so damn weird!

And the current atmosphere seems quite right.

But Lu An was also dumbfounded. Why did these two even add background music for him? What the heck is this? This is too lame.

"Your quarrel should not involve me. Although I used to be a member of the demonic path, I have now returned to the righteous path. Senior Sister Zhao, you must understand that you and I are now on different paths of righteousness and demonicity."

Lu An turned his head and said calmly.

"Junior Brother Lu, what's wrong with you...?"

After hearing Lu An's words, Zhao Mengyuan was about to retort, but her attention was diverted by what Yu Wanqing said next to her.
