Jiang Chen’s life in seclusion was quite comfortable.
Jiang Lianyue would occasionally come to massage his shoulders and legs. His underlings often brought him spiritual fruits and the latest news from the sect.
One day,
“Eldest Senior Brother, Lin Mubai has been captured, and several elders from the Ninth Peak are taking turns guarding him.”
Liu Wu, one of the underlings standing behind Jiang Chen, relayed the information he had gathered.
Jiang Chen was not surprised by this news. After all, Lin Mubai was indeed mad.
Although Jiang Lianyue also had a tendency to explode and cause trouble for the sect, she could be stopped in time, and her behavior on normal days was relatively sane.
But what about Lin Mubai?
When he went mad, he would even attack himself!
Xiao Hongyi couldn’t keep an eye on him all the time, so naturally, it was best to keep him restrained.Upon hearing this, Jiang Lianyue thought to herself: Serves him right!
To this day, she still believed that she was the only one who had seen the nine cycles of reincarnation.
Now the entire Ninth Peak thought that both she and Lin Mubai had gone mad, but she believed only Lin Mubai was truly insane, while she had seen the true nature of the world!
“Lianyue, do you see? This is the fate of those who oppose me!”
Jiang Chen said with a hint of schadenfreude.
“Exactly.”
Jiang Lianyue nodded earnestly, “Lin Mubai’s madness is definitely retribution! I’ve always seen that he’s stubborn and brainless!”
“Do you think so too?”
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Although he didn’t usually want to play along with Jiang Lianyue, he couldn’t resist her frequent approaches, and she was very obedient to his words.
At first, Jiang Chen was somewhat apprehensive, worried that Jiang Lianyue might suddenly come to her senses and then, in a rage, cause trouble for him.
But as the days went by, Jiang Chen began to let loose!
When Jiang Lianyue massaged his shoulders, he would sometimes take advantage of the situation.
“Hehe.”
After a wicked chuckle, Jiang Chen took Jiang Lianyue’s hand and said meaningfully,
“We seem to share similar views. I think it’s necessary to have a deeper exchange!”
Catching the implication in his words, Jiang Lianyue’s cheeks flushed slightly.
She took the initiative to wrap her arms around Jiang Chen’s neck from behind, her lips close to his ear, her breath fragrant.
“Eldest Senior Brother, whatever you want…”
“Hiss!!”
Jiang Chen immediately took a deep breath! This is too damn exciting!
If not for his rational restraint and knowing that Xiao Hongyi would occasionally check on Jiang Lianyue’s condition with her divine sense, he would have found it hard to control himself.
‘I have to say, this villain role is cool. I can feel at ease doing whatever I want,’ Jiang Chen murmured to himself.
Of course, that’s assuming there’s no protagonist.
Liu Wu, the underling, pretended to be blind and deaf to the exchange between the two.
After seeing that there were no further actions between them, Liu Wu spoke up again, “Eldest Senior Brother, there’s another piece of news. It’s said that Qingning Senior Sister has sent a letter back, and the peak master seems to be in a good mood after reading it.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The previously smiling Jiang Lianyue also turned cold!
‘Is this part of the plot finally starting?’ both thought to themselves in unison.
In the original story, after Jiang Chen forcefully took the Jade Spirit Grass from Qingning, she went back to the Hengduan Mountain Range, hoping to rely on her fate to find a treasure of equal value.
The Hengduan Mountain Range is the territory of the demon race, located at the border between the Lower Domain and the Central Domain.
It was there that Qingning encountered the protagonist Lin Feng, who had come from the Lower Domain to the Central Domain! And it was during a moment of crisis that she was saved by Lin Feng!
This cliche scenario of a hero saving a damsel in distress naturally made Qingning feel grateful.
Upon learning that Lin Feng wished to find a master in the Central Domain, Qingning naturally recommended the Jiuyan Sect!
Although Lin Feng didn’t have a special physique, his talent was rare, and he was cultivating an ancient cultivation technique.
Who wouldn’t love such a prodigy?
Xiao Hongyi was naturally extremely excited when she heard about this.
“It seems that my period of seclusion will be ending in a few days.”
Jiang Chen murmured softly.
Liu Wu was completely confused when he heard this.
Anyone with clear eyes could see that Xiao Hongyi was very angry!
After all, his own disciple had set his sights on her!
Now, the entire Ninth Peak was speculating that Jiang Chen might have to face the wall for several years or even a decade!
However, even Jiang Lianyue knew that things would indeed develop in this way.
Because Qingning didn’t want to return to the sect, following the plot, Jiang Chen, the Eldest Senior Brother of Ninth Peak, would indeed receive instructions from Xiao Hongyi to go to the Hengduan Mountain Range and bring Lin Feng back.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I need to leave the sect for a while.”
Jiang Lianyue suddenly said.
“Where to?”
Jiang Chen was taken aback.
“I’ve made breakthroughs too quickly recently, and my state of mind is somewhat unstable. I’ve taken on a mission and plan to go out for some experience.”
“Oh, that makes sense.”
“Do you know how to build a latrine, Senior Brother?”
“What? A latrine?!”
Jiang Chen was instantly baffled.
Such things as latrines were only needed by cultivators in the lower four realms.
Once one became a Core Formation cultivator, although they would still consume some spiritual rice and fruits, their bodies would no longer produce any tangible waste.
He really couldn’t understand why Jiang Lianyue would want to build a latrine.
“I was just asking casually, Senior Brother. If you don’t know, never mind.”
Jiang Lianyue quickly changed the subject.
“Don’t know? Is there anything I don’t know?”
Jiang Chen was immediately displeased.
Seeing Jiang Lianyue looking at him with anticipation, he thought carefully again.
It seemed he really didn’t know! He is the sole heir of the Jiang Family and the Eldest Senior Brother of the Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak, how could he possibly know how to build a latrine?
Seeing this, the junior brother Liu Wu hurriedly interjected,
“Fifth Senior Sister, a vulgar thing like a latrine, the Eldest Senior Brother knows how to build but disdains to speak of it. However, in this regard, I am a professional.”
“You?”
Jiang Lianyue looked skeptical.
“It’s the truth!”
Liu Wu patted his chest, proudly saying: “Senior Sister might not know, but all the latrines in the Ninth Peak were built by me! I even send people to collect the usage fees, and most of the proceeds are handed over to the Eldest Senior Brother!”
There was such a thing?
Jiang Chen expressed that he was completely unaware.
Upon further thought, he suddenly realized.
No wonder.
No wonder every month Liu Wu and the other juniors would present their ‘filial piety’
Using the excuse of paying respects, he brought Jiang Chen many spiritual fruits and spiritual rice.
It turned out that all these were purchased with the toilet fees collected!
Instantly, those spiritual fruits and spiritual rice lost their appeal.
Jiang Chen had always known that his underlings were throwing around his name and throwing their weight around in Ninth Peak.
However, he never expected that they would start doing business!
But Jiang Chen didn’t care about this matter. Although Liu Wu and the other underlings were typical sycophants, after nine cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Chen’s fondness for these underlings far exceeded that for those who self-proclaimed to be the ‘upholders of justice’.
“From now on, keep the toilet fees for yourselves, and don’t send any more spiritual fruits or spiritual rice. Also, make sure to wash your hands before you come to see me in the future!” Jiang Chen ordered sternly.
“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother,” Liu Wu was incredibly excited.
Seeing that the two had almost finished their conversation, Jiang Lianyue suddenly asked,
“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m in need of an underling too. How about Liu Wu follows me from now on?”
“Ah?”
Liu Wu was stunned!
Follow a madwoman? Wasn’t that too dangerous?
Besides, you’re a pampered genius of the sect with the potential of an empress!
Why would you need an underling?
“How could that be possible?”
Jiang Chen was also reluctant. As a villainous Eldest Senior Brother, he had his principles!
His underlings could be beaten up or used to attract hatred for him, but they were not to be given away.
“Please, Eldest Senior Brother~”
Jiang Lianyue cooed, hugging Jiang Chen’s arm and speaking softly, “I just bought a blue ice jade black silk garment. Shall I wear it for you before I leave?”
Hmm? Black silk? Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up.
“Liu Wu, from now on, you’ll be Junior Sister’s underling!”
He agreed immediately.
