Jun Wen's heart was flustered, because Feng Xi's reasons were too solid!
For a little waste, what could be more tempting than a suitable cultivation method?!
Not to mention, she suffered such huge grievances in Hunyuan Sect.
If she didn't betray them then who would?!
The black-masked old man also believed it.
Besides Feng Xi's seemingly solid reasoning, there was another reason, he's extremely arrogant!
He's certain a little girl like Feng Xi wouldn't dare lie to him!
He nodded, "You're not wrong. Human cultivation methods depend on the dantian. We of the demon clan are not that rigid. We have many cultivation methods suitable for you.
However, how do I know you have the ability to stir up trouble among humans?"
Feng Xi smiled smugly, "Just like I told you earlier. When I was in Hunyuan Sect, I was demoted to a servant. And now, my identity is the personal disciple of Xuantian Sect's Sect Master, Xiao Baidao.
No matter how he torments me, that identity is real.
Is that not enough to prove my ability?
Besides, I have a helper!
Although my Fifth Senior Brother Jun Wen is sometimes stupid, his cultivation is decent. I'll take care of the planning in the back, and he'll handle the killing and arson!"
Jun Wen: "..."
I thank you, alright!
The old man pondered for a moment, then looked at Jun Wen, "What do you say?"
Normally, Jun Wen would absolutely choose death over surrender. After all, that was the mindset drilled into him from childhood.
But after watching Feng Xi's performance just now, his heart wavered.
Because he remembered how Feng Xi tricked the Golden Maned Suanni into kneeling. There's no way his little junior sister actually wanted to be a spy, she must definitely have another plan.
So, he went against his conscience and said, "If I can survive, of course I don't want to die. I'll listen to my junior sister."
When Jun Wen said this, his face burned like fire.
Luckily, he had injuries on his face, so it couldn't be seen clearly.
The old man heard this and cackled, "Indeed, humans are all cowards!
Totally unworthy of possessing such good cultivation resources. Sooner or later, all of this will belong to our demon clan…"
Jun Wen was so angry he could die. He wanted nothing more than to stuff a smelly sock into this old man's mouth.
After a while, the old man said, "Just in case, I must plant a Divine Sense Mark on you, to keep you from deceiving me."
Feng Xi smiled sweetly, "Sir, I don't think that's necessary.
Not because I have other intentions, but for the sake of our demon clan.
Think about it, people of the Four Great Sects aren't brainless. Once or twice they won't suspect anything, but if they keep falling into traps, how could they not grow suspicious?
If they happen to have something that can detect a demon mark, wouldn't my senior brother and I be exposed?!
Whether we die or not is a small matter. But delaying your grand cause would be the real problem!
Besides, who are you? And who are we?
Even if we borrowed ten guts, we wouldn't dare deceive you!
But of course, if you feel uncertain, go ahead and plant it. I don't mind."
Jun Wen used up a lifetime of cleverness right here and chimed in, "Yes, the plaque at Xuantian Sect's gate can detect demonic energy. Maybe it could also detect your Divine Sense Mark."
The old man frowned, then sneered, "Fine. I doubt you have the guts to deceive this master!"
Feng Xi smiled even sweeter, "As expected of someone who accomplishes great things, your tolerance is different from others.
Sir, since we're all on the same side now, could you untie us?
Being tied up is too uncomfortable!
Especially me, weak like a little chick. If I accidentally die, I won't be able to serve you."
The old man snorted, then waved his hand, and Jun Wen and Feng Xi were freed.
Feng Xi bowed respectfully, "Feng Xi greets Sir!"
Then glared at Jun Wen.
Jun Wen: "...Jun Wen greets Sir!"
The old man was very satisfied.
"If you two behave, you will not lack benefits in the future."
Feng Xi flattered him eagerly, "Sir, after talking for so long, we still don't know who you are. Could you grant us your name?"
The old man was full of arrogance, "This master is Blood Tiance!"
Jun Wen immediately exclaimed, "You—you are Blood Tiance? How could you be Blood Tiance? Didn't Blood Tiance die a hundred years ago?!"
The old man cackled, "Correct. A hundred years ago, I was besieged by humans. To escape, I used the Demon Silkworm Nine Transformations, making them think I was destroyed.
In reality, I hid beneath the mine, lying dormant.
With the protection of the Demon God, I discovered a high-grade spirit stone mine here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly.
Those fools of Xuantian Sect believed the mine was exhausted. They never knew that a normal spirit stone vein might accompany a middle-grade or high-grade spirit stone mine…"
Feng Xi: (✧◡✧)
An unexpected harvest?!
Her little mouth became even sweeter!
"So you're actually Senior Blood Tiance?
Although those hypocrites among humans have always accused you of countless crimes, in my heart, you have always been a towering hero!
I thought I would never be able to see your glory in this lifetime, but I never imagined I would have the fortune to become your subordinate…"
Jun Wen's face was stunned.
Little Junior Sister, you really have zero shame!
How can you say such disgusting things out loud?!
But regardless of how disgusting it was, Blood Tiance was very pleased.
He hadn't heard such pleasing flattery in over a hundred years. This little girl's quite good!
Little did he know Feng Xi had never even heard of someone named Blood Tiance before!
After all, she transmigrated. The original owner also didn't have much knowledge. What she knew was limited.
Whether the novel even mentioned him, she didn't know either, because she skipped parts when reading.
After finishing the rainbow fart, Feng Xi asked, "Sir, what do you plan to do next? Should my senior brother and I help you mine?
Good things shouldn't be cheaply taken by those turtle bastards of Xuantian Sect!"
Blood Tiance waved his hand, "The shallow high-grade spirit stones that were easy to mine are almost gone. Mining deeper will cause great commotion which is too inappropriate.
Leave it here for now. We can take it later."
Feng Xi was extremely satisfied!
Take it later?
Go have your spring and autumn dream!
Blood Tiance continued, "My injuries haven't fully recovered yet. I must remain here to recuperate for a while longer.
There's a gap near the body of the mountain in the second-level mine. You will leave from there immediately, lest long night breeds dreams."
Feng Xi looked reluctant, "Sir, I want to stay by your side and learn more. Leaving now? Can't we stay?"
Jun Wen: ...Be careful not to act too well! What if he really won't let you leave?!
