Chapter 768 - 766: Sect Master’s Good-for-Nothing Daughter 40

"Junior Sister Pei, do you still like rabbits?" At this moment, Jin Congshuang smiled and said, staring at the rabbit in Ah Chen’s arms, "But this little rabbit is indeed quite cute."

Zhuo Hong interjected, "This is the Secret Realm, even low level demon beasts might not be safe, better to be cautious. Don’t just pick it up because it’s cute. Junior Sister, you have plenty of magic treasures, so it shouldn’t be dangerous. But if something really happens, everyone here could be implicated."

Zhuo Hong hadn’t been having a good time lately either, so she finally found an opportunity to reprimand Ah Chen, and yet she managed to speak so completely.

It’s hard to refute, after all, she was considering everyone’s safety.

Of course, Zhuo Hong knew very well that this low level demon beast rabbit posed no danger at all; she just couldn’t tolerate her Junior Sister.

Ling Yu frowned slightly, "Second Senior Sister, that’s a bit much. I’m right next to Junior Sister, if anything goes wrong, I’d notice it first. If we have to be wary of every low level demon beast, wouldn’t that mean we have to be cautious about every plant in the Secret Realm?"

Seeing Zhuo Hong was about to speak again, it was time for the Jin Family Siblings to step in.

"Is there some kind of light over there where you are?" Jin Congshuang asked.

Everyone knew she was trying to change the subject, but only Ah Chen and the Jin Family Siblings knew the malice hidden in their hearts.

The group stopped talking further and headed towards the glowing spot.

They soon arrived at the glowing area, which turned out to be some natural ores, all excellent materials for artifact refining.

After confirming there was no danger around, they slowly approached.

Ah Chen had long released the rabbit and followed the group over as everyone began to mine the ores.

Boom——

A sudden explosion rang out not far from where Zhuo Hong was standing. The blast wasn’t strong, it just left her looking a bit disheveled with some surface injuries.

Ah Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, it really wasn’t her doing, though she wanted to. Thinking about the ores here, she decided not to meddle.

Originally, the commissioner had dug up an explosive stone, but with her defense spiritual treasures, she was entirely unharmed.

Zhuo Hong’s face turned incredibly ugly, the current scene felt like a slap in the face.

"Second Senior Sister, be careful," Ah Chen reminded, "If you don’t speak up now, when will you? What a great opportunity."

Zhuo Hong urgently wished for a hole to crawl into, got up, moved to another spot, and continued mining ores.

"It’s said there’s a type of ore called Explosive Stone. Senior Sister Zhuo probably accidentally dug one up earlier," Jin Congshuang stated, quickly finding a piece of Explosive Stone to show everyone.

Avoiding the Explosive Stone, the group quickly mined the useful ores and continued deeper into the valley.

During this time, the Jin Family Siblings maintained some distance from Ah Chen, as they had planned.

Jin Congshuang covertly manipulated some low level demon beasts to search for things within the valley, mainly to separate from Ah Chen to make their escape easier later.

As she imagined, once they split up, Ling Yu would definitely be with Pei Chen, and Zhuo Hong would absolutely not approach, making things simpler.

The opportunity soon arrived, with different spiritual medicines and spirit fruits in two locations.

"Some people go that way, others go this way," Jin Congmo said, "That way both sides are attended to. If we’re delayed and someone else discovers this spot, we might not be able to gather anything."

Perhaps influenced by Shi Kui, they adopted a lottery system.

Here, whoever picks it is theirs, no redistribution.

Ultimately, Ah Chen and Ling Yu were tasked with gathering spiritual medicines, while the other three headed towards the spirit fruits.

The five split into two teams, one here, one there, the distance between them gradually increased.

Ling Yu glanced at Zhuo Hong’s retreating figure, slightly shaking his head. Junior Sister owed her nothing, and he couldn’t understand where Second Senior Sister’s resentment came from. When Master didn’t want to bother with her back then, she never considered how she’s treating Junior Sister.

He observed Ah Chen’s expression, noting she wasn’t as silent and upset as usual, which made him feel somewhat better.

He eventually added, "Junior Sister, you don’t owe them anything. If you feel aggrieved, you have both the Master and Master-uncle to back you up. There’s no need to tolerate anything. Actually, if you just voice it, with Master-uncle’s temperament, he might even have Master sever ties with them."

Those years with her becoming increasingly distant and tense from Master and Master-uncle, he didn’t know how to persuade her.

"They all say you’re headstrong, but if you were truly like that, coaxing Master and Master-uncle, they’d easily take your side."

Actually, Junior Sister has a pure and kind heart.

It’s just that she occasionally comes across as fierce and aggressive.

The daughter of the Sect Master, wouldn’t it be easy for her to teach someone a lesson?

But it’s her pure kindness that makes her seem easy to bully.

Ah Chen said, "Third Senior Brother, I know, don’t worry, I won’t wrong myself."

Ling Yu thought of Junior Sister’s earlier "Second Senior Sister, be careful," and smiled and nodded. Junior Sister’s temperament indeed changed a bit.

While the two were engrossed in gathering spiritual medicines, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar.

Ling Yu’s expression changed, realizing they were surrounded by demon beasts coming from all directions.

From afar, Jin Congmo’s voice suddenly echoed, "Quick, leave. The demon beasts haven’t fully formed a circle yet, hurry out."

"I feel we’re no match for them; there are immensely strong auras."

As Jin Congmo shouted, the three had already sped towards the exit.

If she hadn’t overheard the sibling’s plan earlier, Ah Chen might have thought they were genuinely concerned and caring.

Ah Chen extended her divine sense, spotting three leading demon beasts, one of which was a rabbit. No wonder Jin Congshuang lured a rabbit to her earlier. Harmless and linked to a Nascent Soul Late Stage demon beast, it was the perfect excuse.

However, she wouldn’t let that rabbit demon beast appear in everyone’s sight, otherwise, it would be hard to explain.

Indeed, it’s best if no rabbits participate within the beast swarm.

She let her divine sense spread wide, controlling those rabbit demon beasts, stopping them all, directing them deep into the valley.

She then gathered her strength to envelop herself with medicine powder, silently drifting towards Jin Congshuang and the other’s direction.

She took out a concealing talisman and slapped it onto herself and Ling Yu, pulling Ling Yu in one direction to escape.

In the meantime, she took out the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant, and sent a message to Jin Congshuang, "Senior Sister Jin, the beast swarm is here. Let’s regroup later."

"Alright," Jin Congshuang quickly replied, "Be safe."

Yet in her heart, Jin Congshuang was smiling. She had drawn a beast tide, including three Nascent Soul Late Stage demon beasts, one of which was a rabbit demon beast. This is why she chose to manipulate a rabbit to attract Pei Chen, attaching the medicine powder to Pei Chen.

She knew Zhuo Hong too well, knowing she’d seize the chance to speak up, warning Pei Chen not to be negligent, and not to cause danger for fun.

Once the beast tide appeared, with the appearance of the Nascent Soul Late Stage rabbit demon beast, Zhuo Hong would inevitably link it to that rabbit, aligning everything with her plan.

If Zhuo Hong were caught in this too, the situation would become even more thrilling.
