I'm the Green Tea Junior Sister - Chapter 7

Chapter 7

This female cultivator is anything but simple.

In a battle of Green Tea versus Green Tea, a normal person would have been driven mad by my antics long ago.

Yet, she actually managed to endure it.

I don’t know what she said to Eldest Senior Brother, but by the time the sect competition ended and we had firmly secured our spots for the Secret Realm-

Eldest Senior Brother actually told us that this female cultivator would be coming with us.

Upon hearing this, Second Senior Sister’s expression instantly darkened.

Indeed.

Treasures within a Secret Realm are scarce to begin with; even a dozen disciples from our own sect might not have enough to go around.

On what basis should we bring an outsider?

Noticing the Female Lead’s displeasure, I quickly grabbed her arm.

The Female Lead lowered her eyes and simply patted the back of my hand, signaling me not to worry.

“Miaomiao’s sect is small,” Eldest Senior Brother explained. “The Secret Realm is fraught with danger. Traveling together is beneficial for both parties.”

The female cultivator stood beside Eldest Senior Brother with her head bowed.

Hearing his words, a slight blush crept onto her face.

“It’s only because everyone is looking after me,” she said in a thin, delicate voice. “I can’t thank you enou-”

I cut her off directly: “I have a question!”

She choked on her words.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you’re playing favorites!”

I began to wail and throw a tantrum: “You don’t like me! In your heart, you don’t even treat me like your own Junior Sister! Eldest Senior Brother, do you think I’m a total fool? Why are you being so mean to me?”

A four-hit combo of critical strikes!

Everyone was stunned.

As the Male Lead, Eldest Senior Brother had always been the golden boy of the sect and the Cultivation World. He had never been questioned like this before.

He was so taken aback that he was momentarily dazed.

Eldest Senior Brother tried to soothe me: “Shi San, I… you’ve misunderstood me. I never…”

I became even more emotional, sobbing loudly: “In my heart, I naturally love Second Senior Sister the most, but I’ve always looked at all my Senior Brothers as my own brothers!”

“We’ve known each other for so long, yet you always call me Shi San.”

“But this old auntie only says a few words to you, and you’re already calling her Miaomiao!”

I wailed: “So-you definitely don’t like me at all!”

Eldest Senior Brother was bewildered.

His head felt like it was about to explode as he tried to salvage the situation: “I, this… Miaomiao and I-ah, no, Miss Li and I are not actually what you think…”

But I just kept bawling.

I was one step away from throwing myself onto the ground and rolling around.

The dozen or so Senior Brothers looked at each other in confusion. They couldn’t understand how things had escalated to this point.

But seeing how heartbroken I looked, it really did seem like Eldest Senior Brother had done something wrong.

And rightfully so.

Between one’s own Junior Sister and some random female cultivator from who-knows-where.

It should be obvious who carries more weight, right?

Eldest Senior Brother couldn’t take it anymore.

For the first time, he spoke in a humble, pleading tone: “Senior Brother was wrong. Junior Sister Miaomiao, it’s not what you think.”

“Anyway, I’m not going with her!” I finally revealed my true objective. “I was already scared about going to the Secret Realm, and now I have to go with a crazy person…”

Wait, what?

So this was her endgame.

The female cultivator’s smile froze.

But she was a Green Tea herself.

Li Miaomiao immediately began to look as if she were on the verge of tears: “This… it seems Younger Sister still hasn’t forgiven me. I didn’t realize Thirteenth Younger Sister cared so much about this…”

Hm?

Isn’t that just a veiled jab at me being petty?

The veins on my forehead throbbed. I was just about to go wild when the Female Lead spoke up.

“Miaomiao is young and hasn’t been in the sect for long. We all look at her as a little sister.”

Second Senior Sister wasn’t fond of social pleasantries, but she wasn’t a fool either: “Why are you being so calculating with a child?”

Li Miaomiao froze.

“Speaking of which, it’s quite strange.”

Second Senior Sister narrowed her eyes. “You are from the Hundred Illusions Sect, and you specialize in hidden weapons. In a perfectly normal competition, how could a flying dagger just slip from your hand?”

“I…”

Li Miaomiao had never imagined that such a simple matter would become so troublesome.

She had spent a fortune to gather information on this sect and had studied them meticulously to tailor her approach.

Sure enough, she had easily won over the sect’s Eldest Senior Brother.

But where did this little Green Tea of a Thirteenth Junior Sister come from?

How could she be so difficult to deal with!

Seeing the sharp glares from the crowd, Li Miaomiao steeled herself. She hiked up her skirt and knelt straight down before Eldest Senior Brother!

“Last month, while out on a sect mission, my Spiritual Veins were damaged and the energy flowed backward. Now, my cultivation has regressed significantly, to less than a tenth of what it was. My slip-up during the competition was due to my severe Internal Injury.”

She said through tears, “Going to the Secret Realm this time is truly important to me. I beg of you to save my life.”

As soon as she had knelt, Eldest Senior Brother immediately moved to support her.

This explanation was flawless.

Perhaps all men are like this-they can’t stand to see someone humble themselves, and they can’t bear to see a woman looking pitiful.

Eldest Senior Brother frowned again.

After a moment of consideration, he made the final call: “For this exploration of the Secret Realm, Miss Miaomiao will accompany us.”

That effectively settled the matter.

Eldest Senior Brother then looked at me, his tone exceptionally stern: “It’s a small favor; it shouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.”

Me: “…”

I was nearly dying of rage.

But then, Second Senior Sister suddenly let out a cold laugh.

This was something none of us expected. We all knew what kind of person Second Senior Sister was.

She was an Untouchable Flower, as remote as the cool breeze and the bright moon. Usually, she focused entirely on her cultivation and rarely smiled or joked.

Yet at this moment, she was laughing coldly.

Second Senior Sister took my hand, clearly not accepting the other woman’s explanation.

However, she couldn’t be bothered to continue arguing with the Male Lead. She simply felt too much heartache for me.

Thus, Second Senior Sister merely stared coldly at Li Miaomiao: “For your sake, what you said better be the truth.”

“I don’t care what your goal is,” she said slowly. “But if Miaomiao is ever hurt, frightened, or insulted because of you again… I will personally see to it that you pay for it a hundredfold!”
