Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 426 - 10: The Cannon Fodder Eldest Senior Sister in Cultivation Novels (10)

Chapter 426: Chapter 10: The Cannon Fodder Eldest Senior Sister in Cultivation Novels (10)

Everyone looked at each other, and eventually, all eyes fell on Yu Fanxin.

Yu Fanxin also took the initiative to step forward and answer.

"Master, Senior Sister is injured, and she is currently recuperating and cannot get up."

"Injured?"

Since Jiang Lai was already awake and the master had come out of seclusion, Yu Fanxin didn’t need to continue concealing things, so he recounted everything Jiang Lai had done.

"So, if it weren’t for us starting the fire that day, Senior Sister wouldn’t have suffered this calamity. This matter is something we owe to Senior Sister."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, looking at Yu Fanxin as if he were a stranger.

How come the words coming from his mouth sounded like a made-up story?

Jiang Lai endured over a dozen heavenly thunders for them?

Is this real?

Is this something the usually stern and petty Jiang Lai would do?

Even Meng Tao was the first to not believe it.

Jiang Lai always targeted her, clearly out of jealousy for the master’s affection that Meng Tao received, while no matter what she did, she never got the master’s attention.

Would someone like that have such responsibility?

She silently glanced at Rong Yin, her expression a bit complicated, as if she had many grievances that she couldn’t express.

Yu Fanxin noticed this scene and directly brought up Heavenly Pity Immortal Venerable.

"This matter can be asked of Immortal Venerable. Previously, I also misunderstood Senior Sister. This matter has nothing to do with personal grudges. Speaking strictly about the matter itself, we were wrong, and we admit our fault."

"What she did was also her duty as Senior Sister, so there’s no need to look for her."

Rong Yin initially wanted to take this opportunity to reprimand Jiang Lai and comfort the little girl beside him. Now, hearing what Yu Fanxin said, he couldn’t act out anymore.

On the way back, Meng Tao still had her head down in a gloomy manner, and Rong Yin glanced at her.

"Who bullied you again?"

"Master, no one bullied me."

"Then smile and let me see."

Meng Tao forced a smile after lifting her head, which was even less convincing, her eyes red.

Rong Yin stopped and looked down at her.

"I’m here, just say it."

"Tao’er just feels... very useless. At crucial moments, I can’t protect everyone. Senior Sister is still amazing. Tao’er is thinking about when she can be as amazing as her, then she’ll have the ability to protect everyone, to protect Master."

Rong Yin heard this, slightly curled his lips, and touched her head.

"It’ll take you a few thousand years to protect Master, but you indeed should learn some self-defense spells by now. You don’t need to protect others, just ensure your own safety in times of crisis."

"Master, you’re finally willing to teach me spells. Tao’er is so happy!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The little girl’s mood immediately brightened, jumping around Rong Yin and pulling at his sleeve playfully.

"You are the best master in the world!"

"Don’t you usually have many senior and junior brothers and sisters teaching you spells? Yet, you’re happy now that I’m personally teaching you?"

Meng Tao nodded proudly.

"When Master teaches me, he won’t punish me by forbidding food or sleep. Master is the best to me on this mountain, and I like learning spells from Master."

Rong Yin looked at this innocent little girl in front of him. Hearing her words, he understood that she indeed suffered a lot of grievances on this mountain.

He knew Jiang Lai, diligent and determined but not exactly forgiving and magnanimous. When he’s not around, Jiang Lai probably caused much trouble for the little girl.

This little girl is naturally a demon, and she indeed shouldn’t cultivate in immortal laws, or it might bring calamity in the future. But now, under his watch, nothing drastic would happen. Teaching her some self-defense spells would at least prevent her from being bullied by others again.

As an Immortal Venerable, he couldn’t always be around to protect her.

On the other side, after a brief adjustment, Jiang Lai could easily move around. After getting struck by those heavenly thunders, even the most powerful immortal would suffer for decades, yet Jiang Lai felt refreshed, light as a feather, and her flying speed increased considerably.

But to maintain her persona, she stayed low-key and continued pretending to be sick, staying indoors until her cultivation reached another level before coming out.

Over a month later, Jiang Lai finally made an appearance. Dressed in a black vestment robe, it further accentuated her icy demeanor, her face still pale and aura weak, but being able to walk around in such a short time already showed extraordinary talent.

Yu Fanxin was daydreaming on the side. The moment he saw Jiang Lai, he couldn’t help but recall how she looked when she passed out severely injured. Instinctively, he started paying attention to Jiang Lai’s face, noticing this time how her eyes were large and round, with a deep color like a cat’s clarity. If she were to smile, it would certainly be lively and beautiful.

Because the gaze was too intense, Jiang Lai had to look up and found Yu Fanxin nonchalantly turning his head, looking calm and composed, but the tips of his ears flushed.

She frowned.

What’s this idiot imagining?

From the beginning, Jiang Lai knew Yu Fanxin was just a foolish boy, young, from a good background, straightforward, never having suffered or endured hardships, and would do anything with passion.

So Jiang Lai never took him seriously because he seemed to be missing some sense. Tall and skinny, not particularly strong, and although handsome and distinguished, he couldn’t capture Jiang Lai’s attention.

But he always had a way to make himself stand out.

For example, suddenly striking a distant boulder and shattering it, then pretending to throw a few punches into the air, before formally guiding the other disciples’ movements, naturally and nonchalantly walking over to Jiang Lai, then coldly saying.

"I’ll keep an eye on things for you during this time. Come back when you’ve recovered."

After saying this, he turned and left, afraid of giving Jiang Lai the chance to speak.

"How old is he this year?"

Little Buding thought for a while.

"Over four thousand years? I’m not sure of the exact number; he’s not the main character."

"Over four thousand... equivalent to how old in human years?"

"Eighteen or nineteen? About that age, maybe even a bit younger."

Jiang Lai nodded.

No wonder, the clear stupidity on his face.

She did not see Meng Tao in the crowd. Little Buding told her that Rong Yin was privately teaching Meng Tao spells recently and allowed her not to cultivate with the other disciples daily.

Jiang Lai nodded, thinking the timing was about right.

After all, with the mission about to start, not giving Meng Tao a golden finger would be unworthy of her role as the main character.

Soon enough, the Immortal Realm sent word that a disciple had gone astray into the Demon Path and fallen into demonic cultivation. Now, having fled the Immortal Realm, the disciple went down to the Mortal World to bring harm to humanity.

This disciple was named Chu Xiuhuan, the top disciple under one of the three Immortal Venerables, Immortal Venerable Yuanming, with extraordinary talent and profound cultivation. Having fallen into demonic cultivation, he injured many in the Immortal Realm and, despite heavy encirclement, managed to escape to the Mortal World.

The Immortal Emperor was furious, ordering the three Venerables to send their disciples down the mountain to capture the demon Chu Xiuhuan.

Just like in the original plot, Rong Yin directly sent Jiang Lai to lead a group of disciples to the Mortal World.
