Chapter 401 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (11) (1/2)

The robbery Shi Sheng conducted finally gave the Demon Sect some savings. They no longer had to eat buns and drink porridge all day, nor worry about what their next meal would be.

Shi Sheng made a bunch of men fix the road. Every day, they had to wake up earlier than the roosters and sleep later than the dogs. But at least they had meat to eat.

So there were always people willing to go fix the road every day.

Shi Sheng was deeply worried for the Demon Sect’s future. But she hadn’t gotten over it before Jiang Zhan came out of closed-door recuperation.

He had been recuperating in a hidden room that had been constructed using a cave located at the top of the mountain. The moment he descended the mountain, he saw a group of people busying themselves not too far from him.

“What’re you guys doing?” Jiang Zhan walked over and raised his voice. Though his features were exquisite and feminine, he acted like a tough guy.

The people he’d shouted at received a fright. More than ten pairs of eyes turned to look at him.

“S-Sect Master, y-y-you’re out?”

“Why’re you shaking? Would I(lz) eat you?!” Jiang Zhan had a short temper. “I asked what you were doing.”

‘How could we not shake? You’re not even the Sect Master anymore… Oh, right! You knew that.’

“F-Fixing the road.”

“Fixing the road? Woah! You guys didn’t budge when I(lz) ordered you the last few times, so why start now? Were you guys planning to surprise me?”

‘Who wants to make you happy? We get to eat meat by fixing the road!’

But they didn’t dare to say this. They were afraid that if they said something wrong, their former Sect Master would chop them up.

Jiang Zhan cast them a doubtful look. ‘What’s with them? Why’re they shaking?’

“Sect Master?” Ting Feng had come to call them to eat. Seeing Jiang Zhan standing further up, he couldn’t help but call out in surprise, “You’re finally out?”

Jiang Zhan turned to look at his sentinel. “What’s with them? Why did they start shaking so badly the moment they saw me? Have there been rumours spreading about me again?”

Ting Feng’s lips twitched. He hadn’t expected his Sect Master to have such talent in acting.

He coughed. “Sect Master, I’ll tell you everything. Don’t be agitated, okay?”

Ting Feng brought Jiang Zhan back inside, where he told him everything that had happened during this period.

Jiang Zhan’s expression was very colourful. In the end, he blew his top.

“That crazy woman Wu Zheng stole my(lz) position? And got you guys to fix the road? So you guys turned traitor?!”

“Sect Master, we’re still loyal to you and only you!” Ting Feng raised his hand while he swore loyalty with a sincere face. “But you know Ms Wu Zheng’s strength. We aren’t her match…”

“I’ve(lz) really wasted my(lz) time in keeping you lot around!” Jiang Zhan harrumphed angrily. “Where’s that crazy woman? Take me(lz) to her!”

“Sect Master, your wounds have only just healed—”

Having Jiang Zhan’s sharp glare directed at him, Ting Feng immediately changed his tune, “Sect Master, follow me.”

……

Shi Sheng was in a room, fiddling around with the medicinal plants she’d had people deliver. She was planning to concoct some poisons based on Wu Zheng’s memories. But after starting, she found that it was very troublesome for there were a lot of steps.

“Wu Zheng!”

Bang!

An angry roar was accompanied by the sound of the door being kicked open.

Shi Sheng looked up from the green medicinal plants on the table.

Jiang Zhan strode into the room, anger written all over his face and Scarlet Heaven in his hand.

“Why, isn’t this the former Sect Master?” Shi Sheng got up and backed away a bit. “Not dead yet?”

Jiang Zhan took a look at the items on the table, his features a bit twisted. Then he replied as if he was grinding his teeth, “I’m(lz) a hardy one!”

“Is that so?” Shi Sheng’s lips curved up into a shallow smile. “Then how about I send you on your way?”

Jiang Zhan flew into a rage. “Wu Zheng, don’t go overboard! Get the hell out of here!”

“That won’t do. I still have to lead the Demon Sect into striking it rich.” Shi Sheng shook her head, speaking in a proper tone.

Jiang Zhan sneered, a hint of ridicule visible on his slightly feminine features, “And by striking it rich, you mean robbing people?”

Shi Sheng raised a brow. “What? Is there a problem?”

“Of course there’s a problem!” Jiang Zhan slammed the table, his voice even louder than before. “The Demon Sect doesn’t do these things!”

“Then what does it do?”
