Chapter 276: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (24)

Before Shen Mubai could answer, the man withdrew his gaze and walked towards the house where Jun Jiuling was located.

Shen Mubai couldn’t help but glance back at the man and ask the system in her heart, “Who is he?”

The system replied, “Shen Qingfeng, the Fifth Hall Master of the Fire Lotus Sect.”

Shen Mubai nodded in acknowledgment.

From the information provided by the system, it was known that there was a traitor within the Fire Lotus Sect, a seemingly inconspicuous disciple of the sect. According to the conversation between Wu Er and others before, the traitor had been dealt with, but the intricate details behind it were unknown.

She couldn’t help but feel a headache. These so-called conspiracies were what she was least adept at dealing with. Thinking about her mission and then about Jun Jiuling’s attitude towards her, it seemed nearly impossible to infiltrate the Fire Lotus Sect.

The system apparently knew very well what kind of person its host was, so it said, “Take your time; I won’t rush you.”

Shen Mubai felt somewhat touched at first, but then heard the system’s next words, “After all, with your intelligence, there’s not much to expect.”

Shen Mubai, “…”

As the master of a sect, Jun Jiuling not only needed to cultivate and feed the gu worms every day but also occasionally had to discuss matters with the elders and hall masters.

It seemed simple, but after a day, Shen Mubai felt completely exhausted.

How could one’s body and mind be in good condition while serving a capricious and often sneering lunatic?

After pouring the water from the wooden barrel, Shen Mubai was panting heavily, feeling that her life was extremely bitter. Not only did she have to take care of the sect members’ three meals a day, but she also had to attend to the sect leader during the day and serve him water for bathing at night.

Jun Jiuling stood there, looking down at her, and gave a cold smirk. “What? can’t even handle such a trivial matter?”

Shen Mubai quickly straightened up.

Jun Jiuling glanced at her indifferently. “Come over here.”

Shen Mubai took steps towards him and asked, “Is there anything else you need, Sect Master?”

Jun Jiuling smirked, spreading his arms. “Do I still need to teach you?”

Shen Mubai, “…”

As his clothes were removed, revealing his strong and fair upper body due to years of martial arts training, there seemed to be a surging power ready to burst out.

Jun Jiuling sat in the mist-covered wooden tub, while Shen Mubai stood behind him, carefully attending to him.

Beneath his ink-black, long hair was an extremely handsome face. His narrow eyes were closed, and water droplets slid down his neck, disappearing into hidden places.

“If you dare to look at me again, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

Shen Mubai rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking, “He’s really difficult to serve.”

Jun Jiuling raised a cold smirk. “Don’t badmouth this sect master in your mind.”

Shen Mubai was shocked, her eyes showing fear as she trembled, then she asked the system in a trembling voice, “Does Jun Jiuling also have mind-reading abilities?”

Before the system could reply, Jun Jiuling, on the other side, opened his deep eyes and swiftly got out of the tub, quickly dressing himself. Barefoot, he walked up to Shen Mubai, lifted her chin lazily, and said, “Just a useless maid, yet Wu Er and the others begged for you.”

His eyes, as dark as the night, scrutinized her for a moment before he released her chin and said coldly, “You may leave.”

Shen Mubai finally breathed a sigh of relief and then retreated.

Back in her own room, Shen Mubai patted her chest in fear. Jun Jiuling had harbored killing intent towards her at the end, but for some reason, he spared her.

A lunatic’s heart is truly unpredictable.
