Chen Ganliu Was Completely Screwed

Nan Shiheng had come several times. Either she had failed to find anyone, or she had only seen Yu Qinghong. She truly had no idea that her friend had taken on a new disciple, so she mistakenly thought Chen Ganliu was a disciple sent by one of Green Leaf Sect's True Persons to visit Yun Susu.

Nan Shiheng actually felt terribly guilty. Her friend had come to help her, only to be injured by the Great Demon and left bedridden for a long time without recovering. Thus, despite being severely wounded herself, she had no time to enter seclusion and heal. She had come to visit several times and had even sent over all the Spirit Medicine for treating injuries from her own sect.

Chen Ganliu's entire body went cold.

A chill rose from his back, and he cried inwardly, I'm done for!

If Senior Sister catches me, she'll definitely cut me down with one strike. She won't even give me a chance to explain.

Nan Shiheng felt slightly puzzled. She had merely called out to him casually, yet this little Daoist had failed to respond for quite some time. She could not help wondering, Could the various branches of Green Leaf Sect harbor some resentment toward me?

Hearing footsteps approach, Chen Ganliu helplessly turned around and said flatly, "Fairy Nan, it's been a while."

Nan Shiheng had never expected to run into him. Her expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Little Demon, you still dare come to avenge Susu? I absolutely won't let you!"

Nan Shiheng naturally had no idea that Chen Ganliu was now called Nan Sixing and had become Yun Susu's second disciple. She thought that this little Demon, unwilling to accept his master's expulsion and seeing that Immortal Encounter Sect was heavily guarded, had come to Green Leaf Sect to harm someone. With a wave of her hand, a Golden Radiance surged forth, spreading across the sky and earth.

Chen Ganliu thought, I'm dead!

He was only at the Second Layer of Qi Condensation, Boiling Liquid into Qi, while Nan Shiheng had already reached the perfected Golden Core Realm. Had she not been injured, she would already have been a Daoist prodigy capable of attempting to break through to the Spirit Embryo Realm. Even if he resisted, it would be meaningless. He might as well not resist.

When he thought that in this life he was actually going to die at the hands of his wife from his previous life, Chen Ganliu did not harbor much resentment. After all, the two of them no longer had the slightest affection for each other. Besides, the Mind-Wandering Zen Blade had dragged him into this mess, and his identity as a Demonic Cultivator was set in stone. It would be difficult to explain himself. He merely felt a little strange about it all.

Seeing Chen Ganliu smile calmly and remain composed, Nan Shiheng secretly grew wary. She thought, This little Demon is hiding his true abilities. He may have some strange trick up his sleeve. I absolutely must not be careless.

At the instant the Golden Radiance descended over his head, a streak of black light dropped from high above and blocked Nan Shiheng's spell. Someone cried out in a sweet voice, "Don't hurt him!"

Another enormous hand formed from azure qi descended and seized Chen Ganliu, flying back into the sky with him.

Although Nan Shiheng was slightly startled, she was also relieved. Gathering her qi, she called out, "Fellow Daoists of Green Leaf Sect, be careful! A Demon has infiltrated the mountain!"

Jiang Ningxue cast a spell to block Nan Shiheng, while Xie Zhanrou used a spell to seize Chen Ganliu. The two exchanged a glance, both revealing delighted expressions, and called out, "He came at just the right time. What luck!"

The two women had received their master's orders to bring Chen Ganliu back to Three Saints Island overseas, but they had not dared to force their way into the mountain. Although Green Leaf Sect was inferior to Immortal Encounter Sect, it still had a cultivator at the Spirit Embryo Realm guarding it, along with many disciples in the Golden Core Realm. The two of them could only come over occasionally to see whether they might get lucky and run into Chen Ganliu.

Unfortunately, Chen Ganliu had recently served as an examiner at Myriad Talisman Tower. After returning, he had remained in seclusion and had not gone out. The two women had come several times, yet they had never seen the boy.

Today, however, the timing was perfect. After capturing Chen Ganliu, the two women had no intention of entangling themselves with Nan Shiheng. Green Leaf Sect had countless experts, and once they alerted them, the two of them feared they might not be able to escape.

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou merged their escape lights into a shocking mass of Black Qi, piercing the clouds and vanishing into the distance in an instant.

Nan Shiheng wanted to chase after them, but she was also afraid of falling for a diversionary ploy. If she pursued them and then turned back, only to find a Demonic Cultivator had slipped into the cave dwelling and killed Yun Susu, she would have let her friend down. Thus, although she stamped her foot, her pretty face turning deathly pale with fury, she did not pursue them. Instead, she guarded the front of her friend's Dragon Cloud Cave, standing ready for battle.

Chen Ganliu looked down with a sullen expression. For one thing, Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou had captured him right in front of Senior Sister, further cementing his identity as a Demonic Cultivator. For another, he was worried that he might not escape disaster this time.

I'm only a little carrot at the Second Layer of Qi Condensation. Why won't these two Demonesses leave me alone?

They want that blade. They can just take it. Although I'd love to have a Flying Sword and eventually cultivate sword techniques so I could enter the azure skies, fly through the heavens, and burrow through the earth, I can't use it right now anyway. Besides, it would only invite the calamity of murder.

Chen Ganliu remained gloomy and silent throughout the journey.

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou had both been staying at Blazing Light Cave, Twin Cloud Mountain, these past few days. But now that they had captured Chen Ganliu, they had no intention of returning.

Two streaks of azure light rose into the air, circled once overhead, and then descended again.

The art of flying could cover a thousand miles in the blink of an eye. The two women had left a moment earlier, while Green Leaf Sect's cultivators had been a step too late. Even though their cultivation was a realm higher, they still could not catch up.

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou flew for a day before landing on a mountaintop. The two women asked with bright smiles, "Did you enjoy yourself at Green Leaf Sect?"

Chen Ganliu had no idea how to answer without angering the two Demonesses, so he could only grunt and say, "It was all right."

Jiang Ningxue said indifferently, "You needn't be afraid. We sisters brought you out because there's something we want to ask you. Are you willing to become my master's disciple?"

"If you are, we'll take you back with us. If you aren't, I'll kill you on this mountain. The scenery here is excellent and the landscape pleasant. You shouldn't find it too boring."

Chen Ganliu did not weigh the matter at all. He immediately agreed. "I'm willing to become your disciple."

An ordinary person might still have some bias toward sects and feel that becoming a disciple of the Demonic Sect was somewhat degrading. But Chen Ganliu was a person from Earth, a human in three lifetimes and a cultivator in two. How could he hold such stubborn prejudices?

As long as he could cultivate, Chen Ganliu would not particularly refuse even if it meant becoming a Demon Cultivator.

Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou smiled together. "From today onward, you can call us Senior Sisters."

"Since you're our junior brother, there's no need to be afraid. Your senior sisters won't use you to refine any magical treasures."

Chen Ganliu knew that his aptitude was terribly poor, and he could not understand why a Great Demon would take a fancy to him. But since she was willing to accept him as a disciple, she would not kill him. He had just let out a small sigh of relief when he heard his two Senior Sisters' words, and his heart rose into his throat again. He forced an awkward smile. "My cultivation is too low. I'm afraid I wouldn't be suitable for refining any high-grade magical treasures. It would be better to wait a few years, until my cultivation is higher and I'm more useful."

Jiang Ningxue smiled. "I'm not teasing you anymore. Our lineage belongs to the Orthodox Heavenly Demon Sect. We don't practice those low-grade demonic arts."

She turned to Xie Zhanrou and asked, "Should we go back to Three Saints Island first, or go play somewhere else?"

Both women had become disciples of Yao Hanshan and had always cultivated overseas. This was their first time on the mainland. Seeing the prosperity everywhere, they were reluctant to leave. In any case, their master had not set a return date, so they inevitably became somewhat playful.

Chen Ganliu remembered Qiu Sheng's matter and thought inwardly, I originally planned to wait until my cultivation was higher, then ask Sister Sheng to use her connections to take me to Plum Blossom Mountain. Since I have two Senior Sisters here now, why not have them take me there?

Do you still have any monthly tickets?

If anyone still has monthly tickets, I have more chapters ready...
