Chapter 262: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (10)

Shen Mubai naturally didn’t resist at all.

That’s because the other party looked like they could kill her with one punch.

As the world in front of her plunged into darkness, she thought for a moment, feeling the man looked familiar. Finally, it dawned on her. Wasn’t his figure a bit more robust than Chunhua’s, and his face a bit rougher?

So she cleared her throat and said, “You’re… Chunhua’s twin brother?”

The carriage fell into silence, followed by muffled laughter from outside.

“Laugh all you want, you bastard; tomorrow I’ll make sure you don’t even get to eat steamed buns,” the man said gruffly.

Shen Mubai, however, seemed to have an epiphany. “You’re Chunhua?”

After she said this, laughter erupted outside, as if they couldn’t contain it anymore.

Shen Mubai was about to say something when the person opposite her interrupted, “Shut up!”

She swallowed her words with some grievance, thinking, Chunhua, you weren’t like this before.

After what felt like several hours, the carriage finally stopped, leaving Shen Mubai thoroughly disheartened.

Once again, the man hoisted her onto his shoulder, then jumped down from the carriage. Immediately, she heard someone ask, “Wu’er, how’s it going?”

Wuer gruffly replied, “This bit*h is pretending to be clueless.”

Shen Mubai was utterly bewildered.

If the system could speak, it would surely say, “You’re overthinking it; its host is genuinely clueless.”

The group didn’t linger on Shen Mubai; they began discussing other matters.

Shen Mubai listened in astonishment.

It turns out that Jun Jiuling’s capture was all part of a calculated scheme.

There was a traitor within the cult. Jun Jiuling not only had his whereabouts exposed but was also ambushed while practicing, sustaining injuries.

It’s evident that whoever could ambush Jun Jiuling wasn’t a simple character.

With the government’s ambush ready on all sides, Jun Jiuling planned to sacrifice himself, diverting all attention to himself and allowing the cult members to reclaim the Fire Lotus sect’s lost treasures. Even without this unexpected turn of events, they would have acted later; this was just an opportunity.

Being able to recuperate while appearing carefree and retrieving their treasures effortlessly under the noses of the government and numerous righteous experts, this strategy was 666.

(T/N: 666 is internet slang, which means cool or awesome.)

The system said, “Happy?”

Shen Mubai understood that the system referred to completing the first task effortlessly, but she couldn’t find it in herself to laugh.

The cult members spoke of these matters without any reservation in front of her, essentially holding her life in their hands at any moment.

And besides, shouldn’t it be morning by now? Aren’t they considering breakfast?

After being carried through the night’s rough journey, another round of bumps ensued. Shen Mubai was certain they were in the mountains; that’s why it was so steep.

With nothing in her stomach, she couldn’t even vomit. Shen Mubai weakly said, “Chunhua, can you slow down a bit?”

The person underneath her paused, then angrily asked, “Who are you calling?”

Shen Mubai surrendered, “Big brother, could you slow down a bit?”

He sneered, “No!”

Shen Mubai replied, “…Okay.”

After what felt like an eternity, just as Shen Mubai was about to pass out, they finally stopped.
