Chapter 8 The Mastermind



"Actually, you can speak freely with me. I have lived for thousands of years and have seen a lot of love and relationships. I can help you with some guidance."

Yuexi pondered for a moment: "Then, senior, do you think Senior Brother likes that girl named Jiang Xue?"

"He probably likes them; that bastard likes plenty of fairies."

Hearing what Ji Yun said, Yue Xi felt somewhat disappointed. After a while, she realized that what this demon said was not credible.

It's possible that she's deceiving herself and using herself to accomplish some unspeakable secrets; otherwise, there's no need for her to remain in her mere Golden Core realm sea of ​​consciousness.

Yuexi seemed to already know the devil's scheme and was smugly pleased with herself.

Li Wunian patted her shoulder and said, "Yuexi, have you noticed that Jiang Xue keeps staring at Senior Brother?"

"Really?" Yuexi looked at them and realized it was just fellow Daoists interacting.

"Hey, Yuexi, you brainless idiot! Didn't you see the way Jiang Xue looked at Lin Shengwen? She was practically drooling."

"..." Yuexi looked at it carefully again, but still couldn't figure it out.

"I still can't see it. Didn't Senior Brother say that he helped her back then, so it's normal for her to have feelings for him?"

Li Wunian and Ji Yun both slapped their foreheads in the same way. It was hopeless, truly hopeless.

Soon the group arrived at the Stone Poison Cave, a place rarely visited by cultivators.

Even with high cultivation levels, it has absolutely no effect on what's inside.

Those with low cultivation levels face immense danger of death if they go in.

Lin Shengwen approached Yuexi and said, "Junior Sister Yuexi, stay close to me in case of any unforeseen circumstances."

Yuexi was immediately touched by Lin Shengwen's concern and said softly, "Mm."

Jiang Xue also came to Lin Shengwen's side: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you must also protect this humble woman. Her cultivation is low, and she is very scared."

"Don't worry, you are all fellow cultivators who have come here to train. I will protect you all!"

Lin Shengwen, dressed as a warm-hearted man, felt his vanity greatly satisfied at that moment.

Yuexi still looked at him gently.

Ji Yun couldn't stand it anymore. That bastard truly lived up to his reputation as a playboy; his words were perfectly watertight.

Suddenly, a demonic beast darted out from in front of them. Lin Shengwen slashed with his flying sword, and the beast died instantly.

"Wow! Fellow Daoist Lin reacted quickly. Luckily, Fellow Daoist Lin was here, otherwise this humble woman would have been ambushed."

Jiang Xue reached out and tugged at Lin Shengwen's clothes, like a frightened woman in need of protection.

Yuexi whispered to Li Wunian, "Is this person trying to seduce Senior Brother? How could she do this?"

Seeing Yuexi's somewhat angry expression, Li Wunian sighed. If her senior brother didn't allow it, how could she dare to get so close? But he still tried to comfort her.

"The women of Ningxiang Pavilion practice enchanting arts, and their every word and action is alluring and seductive. Perhaps this is just normal behavior for them."

"is that so?"

Yuexi was still a little uncomfortable and felt that her senior brother should shake off the woman's hand.

Ji Yun almost burst out laughing, just like watching a melodramatic soap opera.

Soon the group entered the depths of the Stone Poison Cave, where Lin Shengwen frantically displayed his talent, killing various monsters and picking medicinal herbs.

Lin Shengwen landed gracefully beside Yuexi, his robes fluttering in the breeze.

"Let's go, junior sister, let's continue searching for spiritual herbs."

"Um."

Yuexi was stunned. Her senior brother truly lived up to his reputation as a cultivation genius.

Ji Yun had a look on his face as if he'd eaten shit. He thought for a moment, where was the plot? He'd almost forgotten about that.

"Yuexi, watch your eyes. There's a hidden compartment that's a trap. Don't fall."

Yuexi hurriedly walked while checking the ground, and after a few steps she found a hidden compartment that looked like a trap.

She quickly warned, "There's a trap here, everyone be careful."

Everyone immediately became alert and began to probe with their divine senses.

They quickly discovered that the thing was very well hidden and concealed with talismans; it would be impossible to find without careful investigation.

"Wow, thank goodness Yuexi reminded me." Li Wunian was still shaken.

"Wow, this fairy named Yuexi is quite amazing. I didn't even notice her." Jiang Xue said in a strange tone.

Yuexi snorted, thinking to herself that she had a powerful figure in the demonic path behind her.

Ji Yun recalled the plot: here Yue Xi was caught in a trap, but Lin Shengwen carried her away.

Thinking that he had single-handedly ruined the plot, he felt a sense of satisfaction. "You never expected this, did you? I was the mastermind behind it all."

Lin Shengwen didn't find anything unusual about this, but he felt that his junior sister Yuexi seemed to have become much smarter, as he hadn't even noticed the trap.

Lin Shengwen continued to issue orders: "There are traps here, we must be careful. Everyone, move closer to me and continue to advance deeper."

The group cautiously ventured deeper into the area, where various monsters were secretly baring their teeth.

Deep within the Stone Poison Cave, only the trunks of the trees remained, and the surrounding mist rose, limiting even the range of divine sense to less than a hundred meters.

Suddenly, a swarm of ghost-faced bats rushed out from the shadows. Lin Shengwen immediately released a protective aura, enveloping everyone in it.

However, these masked bats were exceptionally ferocious, constantly assaulting the spiritual light.

Yuexi looked around nervously, clutching her magic weapon tightly in her hand.

Just then, a bat broke through the spiritual light and pounced straight at Jiang Xue.

Lin Shengwen reacted quickly, pulling Jiang Xue behind him while simultaneously slashing at the bat with his sword.

With a flash of sword light, the bat was cut in two.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin!" Jiang Xue looked at Lin Shengwen gratefully.

Lin Shengwen smiled and shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.

Yuexi felt a flicker of displeasure upon seeing this, but she comforted herself, thinking that she was overthinking it and that her senior brother was simply saving people.

However, one of the ghost-faced bats was very powerful. It swatted away several fairies from Ningxiang Pavilion and then pounced on Jiang Xue again.

Jiang Xue was unable to withstand the attack and was sent flying into the air.

Lin Shengwen took out several lightning-attracting talismans and threw them over, instantly striking the ghost-faced bat with several bolts of lightning.

The masked bat fell to the ground, emitting charred smoke, already dead.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Lin Shengwen immediately flew into the air and hugged Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue, who was being embraced, blushed and looked at the man in front of her. She couldn't help but kiss him.

"Clang!" Yuexi's sword fell to the ground. She stared blankly at the two people, feeling as if something had broken.

Lin Shengwen quickly picked up Jiang Xue and put her on the ground, then pushed her away, keeping a small distance, just an inch.

The group from Ningxiang Pavilion also dealt with the remaining ghost-faced bats, and then rushed over to protect Jiang Xue.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Xue being rescued by Lin Shengwen.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin, for saving our Sister Xue."

"Fellow Daoists, please don't be so polite. I will save anyone who is in need." Lin Shengwen waved his hand.

After saying that, he came to Yuexi's side and whispered, "Junior Sister Yuexi, are you alright?"

“No,” Yuexi said calmly.

"That's good. If you were injured, your senior brother would be even more upset."

Yuexi looked at the man in front of her as if she didn't recognize him. If he had said such things before, she would have been very happy.
