The room was filled with the sll of alcohol, and between the two drunken fairies, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Si Minglan’s eyes beca clear, coldly staring at Fang Xue.
Fang Xue lay on the table, her eyes still sowhat hazy. Her cultivation was far inferior to Si Minglan’s, and her drinking ability was even worse. Even knowing that Third Senior Sister was testing her at the mont, she couldn’t help but say:
"Third Senior Sister, Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu are both good people, there’s no way they are remnants of the Demon Sect. I beg you to speak so good words for them in front of Master Sister!"
Si Minglan looked at her, sneered and said, "Junior Sister, we are from the renowned and righteous sects, and it is our duty to eradicate the demons of the Demon Sect. For the sake of the world’s common people, we’d rather wrongly kill ten thousand than let one go!
"I find Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe quite suspicious, yet you keep speaking for them. Could it be that you are also involved with the Demon Sect?!"
Only then did Fang Xue co to her senses and hurriedly knelt down.
"Third Senior Sister, I grew up in Yunling Town and entered the Cultivator Spiritual Institute at the age of ten. How could I be connected with the Demon Sect?"
"Uncle Qin is the sa. He is rely a loose cultivator, who only managed to achieve sothing in the Alchemy Dao with great difficulty. It was not easy for him. Third Senior Sister, please spare him! And also Sister Qiu..."
"What about your Sister Qiu? Go on."
Si Minglan squatted down, lifted Fang Xue’s chin with her finger, and chuckled:
"You suddenly find that your Sister Qiu’s background is unknown, and her cultivation is unclear, so you can’t defend her, can you?"
Fang Xue hurriedly said, "No, if Sister Qiu was from the Demon Sect, how could she have married Uncle Qin and be so loving with him? Third Senior Sister, they must be good people, please don’t wrongly accuse them!"
Si Minglan extended her hand, a wine jar flew into her hand, she broke open the seal and took a big gulp, her phoenix eyes revealing a fierce light:
"I heard that your parents are weak and sickly, and don’t have long to live. Why don’t I hand them over to Master Sister as a ans to protect Qin Gengyun and your Sister Qiu, how about that?"
Fang Xue’s face turned pale imdiately, and she continuously kowtowed, "No! Third Senior Sister, my father and mother are innocent! Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu are good people too!"
Si Minglan spread her hands: "Master Sister commanded to track down the remnants of the Demon Sect. I have to give an account sohow, or..."
She extended her fair palm and placed it on top of Fang Xue’s head:
"I will abolish your cultivation and hand you over to Master Sister, saying that you are the remnant of the Demon Sect. This way, your parents and the Qin Gengyun couple can all be safe. Exchanging one life for four, that’s a great deal!"
Seeing Fang Xue’s face grow even paler, Si Minglan’s voice beca even more severe:
"Or, you choose to save yourself and your parents, and hand over the Qin Gengyun couple to Master Sister?"
Fang Xue stared blankly at the ground. At this mont, the effects of the alcohol had completely dissipated. Listening to Si Minglan’s devil-like voice, her still immature body began to tremble violently.
After a long ti, she finally raised her head, her face pale, her voice hoarse:
"Third Senior Sister, I, I... am the remnant of the Demon Sect. Please hand over to Master Sister."
The room suddenly fell silent. Si Minglan’s hand on Fang Xue’s head suddenly exerted force, and Fang Xue closed her eyes.
Father, Mother, your daughter is unfilial and cannot let you achieve immortality with .
She certainly didn’t want to die, but sohow she couldn’t bring herself to do anything that would sacrifice others to save herself.
At this mont, she could only close her eyes in terror, waiting for death.
However, after a mont, the imnse pressure from above suddenly disappeared, and a wine jar was stuffed into her hands.
Fang Xue opened her eyes in surprise, only to see Si Minglan smilingly looking at her:
"Xiaoxue’Er, I forgot to tell you, I’ve already told Master Sister that Qin Gengyun’s wife is ordinary in appearance, with no special features. Rember, the next ti you see Master Sister, don’t say it wrong."
After saying this, she clinked her wine jar with Fang Xue’s and gulped down the wine.
"Third Senior Sister..."
Fang Xue looked bewildered, not knowing what had just happened. She could only hold the wine jar in her arms and, imitating Si Minglan, raise her little head and pour it down.
The strong wine went down her throat, making her cough violently. Si Minglan laughed heartily:
"I forgot, Xiaoxue’Er, you’re only sixteen this year, right?"
Fang Xue nodded, still looking confused.
"Sixteen..." Si Minglan sat on the ground, looking up at the bright moon outside the window, murmuring:
"I was sixteen that year too, lost my parents, lost my siblings, lost my chastity... Hahaha!"
She laughed out loud, forcing back the tears that almost burst out of her eyes, and once more clinked her wine jar with Fang Xue.
"You are in the pri of your youth, with your parents alive, the best years of your life. Why on earth would you leave your parents to join the Zhenyang Sect and beco such a heartless person?"
Fang Xue looked dazedly at Si Minglan. The words Si Minglan spoke tonight were too shocking. If Master Sister or other seniors heard them, they would probably be sent to Sword Tomb Peak to guard the tomb for life, right?
Si Minglan finished a jar of wine, then snatched the one from Fang Xue’s hands and drank it all up too. Finally drunk, she fell back and lay on the ground, without caring that her clothes were wide open and her legs exposed, she snored.
Only then did Fang Xue react.
Was Third Senior Sister also helping Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu?!
She said all that just to test if I was genuinely sincere towards Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu?
But why is Third Senior Sister, who was so ruthless in Wuxi Town, so lenient towards Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu?
Whether it was due to drunkenness or a chaotic mind, Fang Xue just felt that her head was about to explode.
She struggled to stand up, and carried Si Minglan to the bed, tuck her in properly.
"Father, Mother, Elder Sister, Second Brother, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Six... please wait for a little more, after I avenge you, I’ll co find you..."
Si Minglan seed to dream about sothing, mumbling and calling out, tears flowing down her cheeks, curling up into a ball, with none of her usual charming and loose deanor, she looked like a helpless girl.
"Third Senior Sister?"
Fang Xue looked shocked, everything tonight was too overwhelming for her, she was a bit confused.
Is Third Senior Sister a good person or a bad person?
Fang Xue walked out of Si Minglan’s room in a daze, returned to her own room next door, and suddenly froze.
In front of her stood a tall, voluptuous red-haired figure, and she hurriedly knelt down:
"Master!"
The voice of the red-haired female cultivator was ethereal: "Why did you choose to sacrifice yourself to save a couple who have nothing to do with you? Are you not afraid of death?"
Fang Xue was stunned, only now realizing that her master must have been there for a while and had heard the conversation between her and Third Senior Sister earlier. She hurriedly said:
"Master, I am extrely afraid of death. If I die, I won’t be able to fulfill filial duties to my father and mother. However, if I were to use soone else’s life to save mine, I would surely be better off dead!"
The red-haired female cultivator was silent for a mont, then suddenly sighed:
"You shouldn’t have joined the Zhenyang Sect, nor the Cyan Lotus Sect. You... shouldn’t cultivate."
