Chapter 428: Chapter 12: The Cannon Fodder Eldest Senior Sister in Cultivation Novels (12)

Does he want to make himself the thorn in every disciple’s eye on Qimeng Mountain?

The master has always been in seclusion and can’t always protect her. Becoming a thorn now, how can she live and cultivate on Qimeng Mountain in the future?

"First Senior Brother, why did you say that about me? I didn’t know anything about what the master instructed you, and... there are many things I don’t want, and I am helpless."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.

Yu Fanxin frowned.

"If it’s not what you want, just explain it to the master. If you dare not, I can say it for you."

"Brother Fanxin, you have changed."

"I’ve always been like this. It’s getting late, let’s depart."

With her head down, Meng Tao didn’t dare to look back, because she knew what those people would say about her behind her back.

As she had expected, as soon as she left, the dining hall began whispering and gossiping.

"Didn’t she say it was the First Senior Sister who asked her to go? Why lie?"

"Do you really think she’s as innocent as she looks? The mountain is abuzz with rumors that she has an unusual relationship with Immortal Venerable Rong Yin."

"Clearly, the Immortal Venerable allowed her to descend to the mortal world to play. She claims to be a decoy, making herself the good person while pushing the First Senior Sister out as the bad one. Better stay away from such a person, or who knows when you’ll get tricked by her."

Cai Zi couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed down her chopsticks, shouting.

"And you gossiping behind people’s backs makes you good people?"

After speaking, she turned and left.

Those people behind her were dismissive.

"She treats Meng Tao as a good person. Meng Tao hasn’t even shared any goodies with her. I heard that on the day they were struck by lightning, Meng Tao had a magic artifact for protection and came out unscathed, while she lay bedridden for more than half a month. Pfft, pretending to be close sisters here!"

——

Along the way, Meng Tao kept her head down, silent. Some senior brothers in the team couldn’t bear it and approached her to ask.

"Are you tired? We still have a long way to Heaven-Reaching Cliff. Do you want to stop and rest?"

Meng Tao shook her head.

"I’m not tired."

"Then are you thirsty or hungry? I heard there are many delicious things in the mortal world. Have you tried them?"

Meng Tao glanced at him; he seemed to be the Third Senior Brother. His cultivation was decent, but still far behind Yu Fanxin. He was a kind-hearted person.

"Third Senior Brother, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m in good health; there won’t be any problems."

Meng Tao silently looked at Yu Fanxin walking at the front. Although his pace wasn’t slow, anyone could see he was matching Jiang Lai’s speed.

In the past, when he led the team, he would never wait for Jiang Lai, always leaving without giving her any regard. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Meng Tao withdrew her gaze and asked in a low voice.

"Third Senior Brother, am I very annoying?"

"How can you say that? Of course not. We all like you very much."

Meng Tao clutched her clothes, her voice somewhat low.

"Then why does Brother Fanxin suddenly ignore me? Did I do something wrong?"

On the day of punishment, the Third Senior Brother wasn’t there and didn’t know the specifics, only hearing that Jiang Lai endured over a dozen strikes of Heavenly Thunder for the erring disciples, and it was Heavenly Pity Immortal Venerable who ultimately saved her life.

As for what happened with Yu Fanxin and Meng Tao, no one knows.

"Brother Yu has a straightforward personality, don’t overthink. This mission to the mortal world is dangerous, and of course, he has to discuss strategies with the First Senior Sister first. Just stay with us and don’t run around, and Second Senior Brother and I will protect you."

Yu Fanxin instructed that when the time comes, he and Second Senior Brother wouldn’t need to do anything but watch over Meng Tao to ensure she doesn’t make any mistakes.

The Third Senior Brother didn’t think much of it. After all, with Meng Tao, who had the lowest cultivation, she needed more care; however, her keen mind did make him a bit overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, at the front of the team, Jiang Lai strode ahead. It was the original owner’s habit to walk particularly fast, always rushing to the forefront in everything.

Jiang Lai had held back quite a bit, but unknowingly still ended up at the front, accompanied by Yu Fanxin, who held a sword in his arms, looking at the scenery but occasionally glancing her way, thinking she didn’t notice.

"Up ahead is Heaven-Reaching Cliff. Everyone, hold your tokens and come one by one. I’ll go first; First Senior Sister, follow behind me."

Immortals descending to the mortal world just leap off Heaven-Reaching Cliff, and an Immortal Crane will catch you, taking you to a specific location in the mortal world.

Before he jumped, Yu Fanxin gave Jiang Lai a look.

"Is your body... still alright?"

Jiang Lai glanced at him, her attitude cold.

"I’m your senior sister. What do you think, am I alright or not?"

Without waiting for Yu Fanxin to jump, she leaped first. Yu Fanxin quickly followed her due to his heavier body.

"Why push yourself? Don’t you know the state of your own body?"

They were both caught by the Immortal Crane. With two people on the crane, Yu Fanxin was at the front and Jiang Lai at the back. Following the crane’s swift wings through the clouds toward the mortal world.

This time, they were headed to Yueyang in the Chu Country in the mortal world. The last trace of Chu Xiuhuan disappearing was at Yueyang, and it was also the place where Chu Xiuhuan grew up.

Yueyang was bustling. Just entering the city gates, one could feel the lively atmosphere. To hide their identities and not stand out, everyone had to transform into ordinary human appearances after descending.

Yu Fanxin straightforwardly suggested that they revert to their original appearances and disguise themselves as a merchant caravan going into the city.

Everyone was a bit unwilling, but dared not disobey Yu Fanxin, so they removed their Immortal Laws, revealing their true selves, leaving everyone gazing at each other in surprise.

"You really look like that?!"

"What’s wrong? You’re not the same either. I haven’t changed much."

"Indeed, Meng Tao hasn’t changed. Still as beautiful as ever."

Meng Tao looked a bit awkward.

"My spell isn’t strong enough to maintain a transformation for long, so I never changed my appearance."

She looked towards Jiang Lai.

"First Senior Sister hasn’t changed either; she’s much prettier than I am."

Jiang Lai had a cold and bright appearance, not particularly special among a crowd of equally outstanding immortals. But now, with everyone having removed their Immortal Laws showing their true forms, Jiang Lai’s white skin, black hair, and finely sculpted features stood out prominently.

Yu Fanxin didn’t change, so no one was curious. After all, he was born with an extraordinary immortal appearance.

But how could Jiang Lai have no change?

Wasn’t she also a mortal who cultivated into an immortal?

"First Senior Sister, aren’t you being distant from us? Let’s be a bit more low-key; you look like a divine immortal."

Jiang Lai looked at them with a calm tone.

"Do you think, with my current cultivation, I could still maintain a transformed appearance?"

Everyone suddenly understood.

Right, Jiang Lai’s current cultivation might be similar to Meng Tao’s; she certainly couldn’t maintain her transformed appearance anymore.

"So this is how you actually look!"
