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

A genius from a certain family mysteriously disappeared after being jilted at an engagement! Three years later, he returns...

Your headline-writing skills look somewhat familiar, like you've traveled from the Ministry of Public Security?

And the titles here... they seem to refer to some old acquaintances.

Wait, isn't this an advertisement?

Do they even advertise in the cultivation world? That's ridiculous!

"Junior brother, look here...!"

Finally, Lu An saw a report about him in the newspaper.

Who exactly is this mysterious and powerful figure who battles a fox demon and bravely defeats an ancient thunder dragon?!

A mysterious powerhouse single-handedly halted the tribulation-crossing demon king!

The Righteous Alliance suffers a crushing defeat, but a mysterious powerhouse turns the tide!

Your titles have a high rate of repetition; you need to provide more training in this area.

Is he a temporary worker?

Although the title wasn't very interesting, Lu An still enjoyed reading it.

It's so interesting to be assumed to be awesome!

So Lu An looked up, but Zhao Mengyuan silently turned the page for him.

The Mysterious Powerful Man is Actually Yu Wanqing's Daoist Partner!?

Yu Wanqing is no match for the Demon King; a mysterious man comes to the rescue.

……

There were all sorts of other things, and Lu An didn't quite understand how they managed to fill an entire newspaper page with all of them.

That's terrible... but the one next to it is even more terrible.

"Junior brother, what are your thoughts after reading this?"

"Rumors! Just rumors!" Lu An slammed the newspaper on the ground. "These people, they don't work and all they do is spread rumors! They're just bored out of their minds!"

"I don't know if it's a rumor or not, junior brother, you need to take care of yourself and not get too close to Yu Wanqing, understand?"

“I understand, Senior Sister…” Lu An said, sweating profusely.

"Don't worry about the Gu worms, they're usually fine." Zhao Mengyuan finished dressing and seemed about to leave. "Junior brother, complete the tasks assigned by Master properly, understand?"

"Then, Senior Sister, I won't see you off?" Lu An was a little excited when he saw Zhao Mengyuan standing at the door of the room.

The witch is finally leaving.

"You really want me to leave?" Zhao Mengyuan frowned.

"No, of course I'm reluctant to part with my senior sister!" Lu An smiled and patted his waist.

Run! Run! We really can't hold on any longer!

"It's okay if you miss your senior sister. From now on, I'll be the one contacting you!" Zhao Mengyuan's tone was so cheerful.

Upon hearing these words, Lu An suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked, and his kidneys began to ache even more.

No! Absolutely not! He must give his opinion to his master! Otherwise, he might be drained dry by repeated meetings before he even gets to infiltrate the undercover operation!

And this so-called connector, can't it be done properly?

Zhao Mengyuan left, while Lu An lay in bed, trying to regain the strength in his kidneys.

I'm so tired. She's a real tigress, so ferocious!

The ring flashed red, indicating that Li Podao was once again requesting communication.

Lu An then opened the communication, and a roar came from his storage ring.

"You unfilial disciple! Why did you hang up on me just now!?"

This time, the voice was a frustrated female voice, it seems that Master has reverted to his true form and let loose again.

"Master! I haven't even told you yet! You sent Senior Sister to meet me without telling me! I'm being tortured terribly!"

"Mengyuan? Mengyuan is really gone? Are you alright? Are you still alive? Are you missing any limbs? Is anything missing from your body?"

"No... I'm fine, but Master, you have to tell me! I can't take it anymore!"

Lu An leaned against the bedside, his disheveled clothes making him look like a virtuous young man who had just been violated.

"What happened?" Li Podao asked anxiously, as she was quite worried about her disciple.

After all, he was the first person in all those years to be able to make contact with the undercover agent of the Righteous Alliance's vice leader as soon as he stepped out of the door.

She was even a little jealous when things went too far.

"It's nothing... it's just that next time, Master, you should tell me first!" Lu An sniffed and said, "Never mind, never mind, Master, is there something you need this time?"

"Disciple, are you alright?" Li Podao was still worried and wanted to ask more.

Don't let this disciple keep anything to herself and refuse to do anything for her.

The treatment offered by the Yuan Tian Sheng Zong is too good. If we use force, what if they secretly turn against us?

She was so impressed with the treatment she received that she wanted to turn against them.

After hearing about the treatment of Yuan Tian Sheng Zong, Li Po Dao thought about it all night and felt for the first time that Tian Mo Zong seemed to have no future.

The amount of spirit stones given is far too small.

"It's alright, the matter has been resolved."

"Alright, then I won't ask any more questions." Li Podao didn't want to ask any more questions either, and then continued, "Now I'm going to assign you a task, your first task since you went undercover."

"What mission? No, Master, I haven't even officially infiltrated the ranks yet, and you..."

"You need to get close to Yu Wanqing, gain her trust, and ideally win her affections, becoming her Daoist partner, thereby entering the core circle of the Righteous Path Alliance!"

Lu An fell silent after hearing this.

"what?"

After a long silence, he finally uttered this single word.

Chapter 71 People will misunderstand!

Lu An felt his brain racing, his CPU overheating again.

Gaining Yu Wanqing's trust, and ideally becoming her Daoist partner, what kind of twisted mission is this, reminiscent of an 18+ Japanese game?

Have I been transported to the wrong place? Is this an otome game world disguised as a cultivation simulation game?

Furthermore, I was just poisoned by Zhao Mengyuan with a Gu worm, and she told me not to get too close to Yu Wanqing. Now she's telling me to get close to Yu Wanqing again and to become her Daoist partner.

No, if you two want me dead, just say so! Stop beating around the bush and doing all this. You might as well just stab me to death!

Lu An just wanted to curse.

Damn it, what are you guys doing?

"Disciple, are you unwilling?"

"If I get too close to Yu Wanqing, Senior Sister might not be too happy."

"Don't worry about your senior sister, I'll handle her. You just focus on how to seduce... no, how to complete the mission."

Lu An has no intention of believing this old hag's words at all.

If you really wanted to stop her, why would you have let her meet with me? Are you kidding me?

To be honest, even he himself doesn't believe that statement.

At that time, Zhao Mengyuan's murderous aura terrified her.

Breaking through the Tribulation Transcending stage, especially under those circumstances, made Li Podao even more worried.

Later, when she reaches the later stages of her tribulation, will these things become her inner demons and obsessions, causing her personality to change drastically and thus affecting her tribulation, and causing her to truly fall into demonic possession?

Although the demonic path is the demonic path, it is just a group of people who stand on the other side. In essence, they are still cultivating the Tao to become immortals.

But if one truly falls into demonic possession, then one is no longer on the same path as them.

“Master, I don’t quite believe what you say…” Lu An was silent for a while before suddenly saying.

His resolve to break through the Dao wavered, and he was secretly coughing up blood.

How did this kid know what she was thinking?

She still can't convince herself that she can stop Zhao Mengyuan.

"You must believe your master! Has your master ever lied to you?" Li Podao patted his rather firm chest and said.

"What if you're going to lie to me now?" Lu An said with a gloomy expression.

Li Podao's expression also darkened.

This kid is going through a rebellious phase. Could it be that the Yuan Tian Holy Sect has bribed him by giving him too much money?

If the soft approach doesn't work, then let's try the hard approach!

"Lu An, don't disobey me! I've planted a Gu worm inside you, and it's already grown. If you don't obey, I'll make it flare up." Li Podao was silent for a moment, then adopted the demeanor of a villainous demoness: "Then, the Gu worm will devour your heart! You'll wish you were dead!"

Upon hearing this, Lu An fell silent again.

It's another Gu worm, but why isn't he surprised at all?

Perhaps this is what suits the persona of these demonic cultivators? They're quick to cast spells on people.

Moreover, since he was sent to infiltrate, how could his master not have a backup plan? It's normal to have such a backup plan.

That's not surprising, but can you come up with something new?

Both of you have planted poison in my body. What do you take my body for? A giant earthenware jar?

Oh my god, this is really oh my god!

"Master, what kind of Gu worm did you put in my body?"

"It's a Bloodthirsty Gu! Once activated, this worm will enter your bloodstream, infiltrating everywhere and making you wish you were dead! But you won't die!" Li Podao said in a sinister tone, "Do you think I've lived all these years just to be inside a dog's belly? I've already made arrangements!"

It's the Bloodthirsty Gu again... If I remember correctly, Zhao Mengyuan also gave him this worm before, right?

It’s terrible. It’s really terrible.

With two worms inside, is this a sure thing?

Well, well, well, there's nothing more poisonous than a woman's heart!

It went from being a sacred body of cattle and horses to a sacred body of ten thousand insects, right?

"Master, Yu Wanqing is still lying down, and I don't know how to pursue women!"

"Nonsense! Play the flute! Write love poems! Just do the same thing you did to your senior sister!"

"No, Master, this is an old trick. How could you possibly catch someone with that?"

"The key to a strategy is its effectiveness, not its novelty. Do you understand?!" Li Podao demonstrated this firsthand.

As a seasoned veteran of the "Sea King" genre, she experienced this firsthand.

Back then, the number of sycophants was truly as high as the mountains.

I was incredibly charming back in the day!

Lu An was thus persuaded.

You could say they were persuaded under duress.

At the same time, Lu An secretly made up his mind that he would definitely take revenge when he found a chance to get rid of the Gu worm!

A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?

You old scoundrel, I will submit to you for now, but one day I will swear to kill you!

This is Lu An's inner monologue, a monologue he dares not voice.

"Disciple, you should do your job well. You haven't joined the Righteous Alliance yet, have you?"

"Yes, Master, I haven't yet."
