The junior sister's rebirth and madness send the entire sect trembling in fear.

"Wait, wait." Mo Yu gestured wildly to stop Ye Yanqing and Mo Lie. They looked at Mo Yu in confusion, not understanding why he was so agitated.

Mo Yu sighed: You're worried about your junior sister's safety? You should worry about the spirit beasts in the back mountain and yourselves instead.

"Do we really have to go?" Mo Yu looked helplessly at his two senior brothers.

"We must go!" they said in unison.

"You can go, but eat this first." Knowing he couldn't escape this calamity, Mo Yu could only take out a pill bottle, pour out three pills, and put one into his mouth first.

"Antidote pill?" Ye Yanqing looked at Mo Yu with a puzzled expression.

"If you don't want to be lying on the ground unable to move, you'd better take the antidote pills obediently." Mo Yu sniffed.

He's been through a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be so careful.

Although Ye Yanqing and Mo Lie didn't know what he was up to, they still swallowed the antidote pills.

After walking for a while towards the back of the mountain, the dark lines on Ye Yanqing and Mo Lie's foreheads grew deeper and deeper.

Along the way, they unexpectedly saw quite a few spirit beasts lying motionless on the ground.

Ye Yanqing went forward to check on them and confirmed that they were just unconscious and had no other problems before looking at Mo Yu.

"Don't look at me like that, this has nothing to do with me, it was all Junior Sister's fault," Mo Yu hurriedly explained.

The three avoided the sleeping spirit beasts on the ground and found Si Nansheng in a corner of the back mountain.

Si Nansheng was sitting cross-legged beside the alchemy furnace, his hands supporting his chin as he looked up at the black smoke shooting straight into the sky.

"This isn't right. Could it be that I failed again? If my senior brothers find out about this commotion, it will be terrible."

Si Nansheng muttered to herself, completely unaware that the senior brother she was talking about was already standing behind her.

They stared at the thick smoke billowing from the alchemy furnace, their faces filled with indescribable emotions.

"Junior Sister." Ye Yanqing's voice rang out softly.

Si Nansheng's heart skipped a beat: It's over.

"Hehe, Senior Brother." Si Nansheng turned his head nervously and grinned foolishly at Ye Yanqing.

"So, what are you doing, Junior Sister?" Ye Yanqing looked at Si Nansheng with a forced smile.

"I...I...I just...refined some pills." Si Nansheng rubbed her fingers against her slightly rounder face.

"Alchemy? What kind of divine pill did you refine? It actually put half the spirit beasts on the mountain to sleep!" Ye Yanqing gritted his teeth, while Si Nansheng chuckled awkwardly.

"Is...is there?" Si Nansheng looked up at the sky and down at the ground, not daring to look at Ye Yanqing.

She really didn't mean it!

She was so focused on refining these pills that she really didn't pay attention to anything else!

"Come with me to see Master!" Ye Yanqing said, lifting Si Nansheng by the back of the neck.

Si Nansheng pouted, not daring to struggle or refute, and was being held by Ye Yanqing, pitifully turning her head to look at her alchemy furnace.

"Fifth Junior Brother, pack up Junior Sister's alchemy furnace and bring it back." Ye Yanqing took a few steps, then turned to look at Mo Yu. Mo Yu's body stiffened for a moment, and he obediently turned back to pack up Si Nansheng's alchemy furnace.

Si Nansheng looked regretfully at the batch of pills he had not yet successfully refined.

Si Nansheng: Fifth Senior Brother, you absolutely mustn't throw away the pills I refined! I've been guarding them for two hours!

Ye Yanqing completely ignored Si Nansheng's expression and carried her by the collar all the way to Li Tianhen's courtyard.

"Oh, little apprentice, what mischief have you gotten yourself into that your senior brother caught you?" Li Tianhen laughed when he saw the person who had come.

Si Nansheng, whose collar was being held by Ye Yanqing, pouted in grievance: Master, is it really okay for you to watch the show like this? Save the child!

"What's wrong?" As if seeing the accusation in Si Nansheng's eyes, Li Tianhen suppressed a laugh and looked at Ye Yanqing.

"You should ask her what she did. Junior Sister has been refining some kind of medicine in the back mountain, and half the spirit beasts on the mountain are now in a deep sleep." Ye Yanqing placed Si Nansheng in front of his master.

Li Tianhen rubbed Si Nansheng's head, raising an eyebrow and silently asking.

"Actually, I just made some Truth-Telling Pills, Animal Pills, Sleep-Inducing Pills, Paralysis Powder, and Itch-Inducing Powder when I was bored..."

Si Nansheng avoided eye contact, not daring to look at his master and senior brothers, and his voice grew softer and softer.

Everyone:...

So what are you making all these pills for? Not a single healing pill. Junior Sister, are you really a proper alchemist?

“Little disciple, those spirit beasts in the back mountain were all brought back by your third senior brother. Your third senior brother has a special situation. If he sees you harming his spirit beasts, he will be very sad.”

Li Tianhen sighed and looked at Si Nansheng with a helpless expression. Si Nansheng blinked innocently.

Are all the spirit beasts in the back mountain of the Four Gods Sect raised by that third senior brother whom I've never met?

“Your third senior brother is rather simple-minded and not very good at getting along with people, so he raised those spirit beasts.”

Seeing his little apprentice's confusion, Li Tianhen spoke up to explain.

"Huh?" Si Nansheng opened her mouth wide, her face full of horror.

This is terrible!

Could the spirit beasts she secretly ate in the back mountain have also been raised by her third senior brother?

This is terrible! If his third senior brother finds out, won't he hunt him down?

“I’ll catch some more spirit beasts for you and put them in the back mountain. Third Senior Brother won’t find out.” Mo Lie saw Si Nansheng’s fear and patted his junior sister’s shoulder.

"Fourth Senior Brother, I knew you were the best to me." Si Nansheng threw herself into Mo Lie's arms, hugging his waist, so moved she was about to cry.

Li Tianhen raised an eyebrow: "Has your teacher been unkind to you?"

Ye Yanqing sighed: Was I too strict with my junior sister?

Mo Yu, arriving in a disheveled state: Where am I? What am I doing? What did I miss?

"My little apprentice, we'll be going to the secret realm in a few days. Get some rest and don't harm the spirit beasts in the back mountain."

Li Tianhen rubbed Si Nansheng's head, and Si Nansheng obediently nodded.

"Mo Lie, these next few days, please keep a close eye on her." Ye Yanqing looked at Mo Lie with concern.

Si Nansheng may seem well-behaved, but she has unintentionally caused quite a bit of trouble.

It would be more reassuring to have Mo Lie keep an eye on her before she sets off.

"Yes, Senior Brother," Mo Lie replied obediently.

Si Nansheng pouted: I'm a good girl, why would I need anyone to watch over me?

But Si Nansheng, who had just caused trouble, dared not refute it!

"Junior Sister, here's your alchemy furnace." Mo Yu dazedly handed the alchemy furnace to Si Nansheng. As soon as Si Nansheng took it, Mo Yu collapsed to the ground.

Everyone:...

Is this asleep?

"Fifth Senior Brother, why don't you take care of your health? You'll catch a cold sleeping outside." Si Nansheng looked at Mo Yu with a helpless expression.

Mo Yu: Who did I do this for? Wasn't it all because of that batch of sleeping pills you gave me? We were too close, I forgot to take precautions, and I got hit. Just managing to walk back was... my limit...

Mo Lie sighed, disdainfully helped Mo Yu up, and sent him back to his room.

In the following days, Mo Lie dutifully watched over Si Nansheng.

Si Nansheng behaved himself and didn't cause any trouble. He spent his days cultivating, drawing talismans, and memorizing medicinal herbs and prescriptions.

"Junior Sister, are you ready? Master sent us to call you; we're about to depart." Mo Yu and Mo Lie came to find Si Nansheng.

"Isn't there still a few days left?" Si Nansheng slumped weakly onto the table.
