I'm the Green Tea Junior Sister - Chapter 12

Chapter 12

The underground was dim and lightless, and it was exceptionally vast.

Sister Lu led me along, walking against the wind while carefully maneuvering around those thugs.

Perhaps luck was on our side.

After walking for an hour, the airflow grew stronger.

Light flickered at the exit, faint and distant.

Sister Lu wouldn’t let me go out.

She simply had me hide in a grotto near the exit.

She exhorted me, “These people came prepared. There might be an ambush at the exit, so don’t rush out recklessly.”

“I’ve already used a secret method to call the sect for help. Stay here and don’t move until reinforcements arrive.”

I gripped her sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.

I knew what she was planning to do.

“Sister Lu, let’s wait together,” I said, my voice trembling. “There are too many of them. How can you possibly fight them all…”

Sister Lu’s expression remained calm; she even patted my head.

She was a true cultivator.

Sharp, resolute, and determined to settle every grudge.

“I must go.”

She flashed a smile. “My junior sisters are dead. How can they be allowed to live?”

Waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain.

Waiting for a group of old men from the sect to come and save their disciples’ lives.

Lu Wan, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Thousand Source Sect, harbored a mountain of hatred in her heart, determined to seek revenge.

With her profound cultivation, she moved stealthily with her sword drawn.

She actually managed to kill several of the thugs.

Then, when she turned around, she found me secretly finishing off the ones she’d wounded.

“Didn’t I tell you to hide?” she asked anxiously. “You child…”

“I’m fine, Sister Lu,” I said. “I’m really fine.”

Lu Wan was both anxious and angry, but before she could scold me, she heard footsteps.

She immediately gripped her sword and pulled me into hiding.

But the people who arrived this time were finally acquaintances.

“Thirteenth Sister?”

Several Senior Brothers were supporting each other as they fled in a sorry state, nearly stepping on us.

Fifth Senior Brother was stunned. “Why are you here?”

Once he saw her clearly, his ‘romance brain’ took over, and he said with great joy, “Wanwan, you’re here too!”

I was truly speechless at this double standard.

But they were in a terrible state.

These Senior Brothers were all badly injured and covered in blood; two of them were even unconscious.

According to Fifth Senior Brother, as soon as they fell down here, dozens of practitioners had swarmed them to kill them.

Fortunately, they had fought back frantically.

The opponents hadn’t expected them to be so crazed-and they had actually managed to turn the tables and kill them instead.

“Where is my Second Sister?” I asked, my heart racing. “If you won the fight, how did you get separated?”

Fifth Senior Brother fell silent for a moment.

“…We won, so we thought the danger had passed and began looking for the exit.”

He lowered his head, staring at his toes. “On the way, we encountered disciples dressed as members of the Thousand Source Sect, so we traveled together.”

At that moment, my skin crawled.

“They weren’t disciples of the Thousand Source Sect at all.”

Fifth Senior Brother’s tone was heavy with grief. “When we reached a fork in the road, they coordinated from the inside and outside to launch a brutal ambush against us.”

I began to shake.

“Second Senior Sister… Second Senior Sister drew away most of the villains by herself and headed east.”

He said, “I don’t know if she…”

Without a word, I bolted toward the east.

Sister Lu was startled. “Shi San! Don’t go!”

“I have to go! How can I not go!” I screamed. “Second Sister won’t die, and I won’t die either! I must go!”

Fifth Senior Brother grew frantic and turned to catch me. “You’re just a Foundation Establishment Disciple! Going there is just seeking death!”

“They might even be Demonic Cultivators! Demonic Cultivators are ruthless and cruel-”

But Fifth Senior Brother actually failed to catch me.

Hearing that Second Sister’s whereabouts were unknown, I had already started crying. “They aren’t Demonic Cultivators! They’re fellow practitioners who just want to kill us and steal our things!”

Sister Lu was very angry. “Whether they are Demonic Cultivators or not, they will kill you! You can’t-”

At that moment, I turned my head and looked at them.

They all gasped in unison.

The light in the cave was dim, but the dark red Demonic Mark on my face was glowing.

“They aren’t Demonic Cultivators.”

I said, “I am.”
