After Rebirth, I Quit the Sect—Senior and Junior Sisters Regret It Bitterly! - Chapter 47:

Chapter 47: Just Tell Me, Are You Anxious? Do You Regret It?

Before Lu Chen even finished speaking, Zhang Youcai stuck out his tongue.

The man in front of him was easy to talk to—

But if he really got angry, he might actually throw him into the Demon Cavern!

For the sake of his own little life, it was better to behave!

“Alright, alright! I’ll stop talking, okay?”

“Oh, right! Are you really as powerful as they say?”

Zhang Youcai swiftly changed the subject, his face brimming with curiosity.

Before meeting Lu Chen, he had barely heard anything about him.

But along the way, just from overhearing people’s conversations, he had already gathered a fair bit of information about the man beside him.

The Mystic Spirit Holy Sect wanted to excavate the Demon Cavern—

That alone was a massive piece of information.

First of all, the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect was famous—

And the reason for that fame was because one young disciple had guarded the Demon Cavern for over three hundred years.

Because he had kept the demons at bay, the sect flourished, growing stronger than ever before.

Secondly, this was not just about the sect, but also about Lu Chen and the Demon Cavern itself.

Some people claimed—

That Lu Chen, the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect disciple, was a great hero, willing to sacrifice all his cultivation to resist the demon race.

But others said—

That everything was a lie.

They believed Lu Chen possessed immense power only because he had been absorbing the Demon Cavern’s resources.

And the Demon Cavern wasn’t terrifying at all—

Instead, it was a paradise.

That was why the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect had abandoned Lu Chen—

And decided to mine the cavern for themselves.

Zhang Youcai had heard this same argument so many times that he was tired of it.

In the end—

People were divided into two factions.

One side supported Lu Chen, while the other saw him as a traitor.

Throughout all of this, Lu Chen had remained indifferent, as if none of it concerned him.

He neither defended himself nor explained anything.

But Zhang Youcai couldn’t stop thinking about the Demon Cavern.

Forget about the treasures—

Just the demonic creatures people spoke of were enough to send chills down his spine.

So now, Zhang Youcai wanted a clear answer.

Was Lu Chen really as powerful as they said?

Could he wipe out an army of demons with a single strike?

This time—

Instead of ignoring the question, Lu Chen actually responded.

“In your eyes, what does it mean to be powerful?”

“Isn’t it obvious? It means destroying armies in one strike, summoning storms at will, being completely unstoppable!”

Lu Chen smiled faintly.

“Is that all?”

“Of course! What else is there? Powerful is powerful! When you make a move, everyone should be afraid!”

Hearing such a straightforward answer, Lu Chen became a little interested.

“A true powerhouse does not inspire fear.”

“Only the weak flaunt their power to intimidate others.”

Zhang Youcai froze.

It took him a moment to process what Lu Chen had just said.

But when he thought about it carefully, it actually made sense.

He had never joined a sect, but during his time working in street markets, he had seen plenty of people.

Most of the time, the ones yelling and pushing others aside were just thugs.

The real wealthy and powerful figures always wore warm smiles—

Polite, friendly, and harmless on the surface.

That seemed to fit Lu Chen’s description perfectly.

And Lu Chen himself—

Didn’t seem terrifying at all.

Even though he was cold and distant, he never made people feel afraid.

So…

He had his answer.

Lu Chen was one of those truly powerful figures.

“Alright, tell me—who do you plan on leaving me with?”

Even now, Zhang Youcai’s biggest worry was that Lu Chen would abandon him.

“That… you’ll have to choose for yourself.”

Although that was what Lu Chen said, an image flashed through his mind—

Meng Yu.

The girl with a rare talent for divination…

The girl who had once been his little junior sister.

…

Heaven’s Extreme Pavilion.

Meng Yu suddenly felt a pang of unease, her already pale face growing even weaker.

“Meng Yu, are you alright?”

“I’m fine… The sect members… have they already gone to Jade Spirit Mountain?”

The young disciple nodded nervously.

“Meng Yu, the decision to mine the Demon Cavern was made by the Sect Master. No one can go against it.”

“If we’re following the timetable, they should have arrived by now.”

Meng Yu sighed softly.

She had prepared herself for this moment—

But now that it had actually arrived, she still found it hard to accept.

They were really going?

The Demon Cavern was unimaginably dangerous.

This time, the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect would likely pay a heavy price.

The divination sign had clearly been—great misfortune!

“Senior Brother… the cavern you sacrificed your cultivation to seal… is now being destroyed by those blinded by greed…”

Hearing this, the young disciple beside her turned pale with shock.

“Meng Yu, you mustn’t say such things! What if the Sect Master hears you?”

Meng Yu’s lips curved into a bitter smile.

And what if she did?

It was the truth.

If the Demon Cavern was truly as safe as the rumors claimed, Lu Chen would have suggested mining it himself.

Why would he waste three hundred years guarding it?

But now—

They no longer believed in Senior Brother Lu Chen.

And naturally, they denied everything he had said as well.

What a shame…

Everything Senior Brother had done for the sect—wasted.

Meng Yu lowered her head, falling into silence.

Her emotions were a mess.

And the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.

She reached out to touch the divination coins on the table—

But this time, she didn’t dare to cast them.

…

Jade Spirit Mountain – Demon Cavern.

As time passed—

Chi Lingxiao and the others noticed something strange.

The deeper they went, the more resources they found.

The more rare and precious herbs appeared.

It wasn’t just them—

Even the ordinary disciples of the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect had noticed something odd.

This place was too rich!

Many disciples tightened their grip on their storage pouches, their eyes glowing with greed.

As they continued harvesting, some disciples even started making new plans.

Once they returned, they could sell these treasures at double the price.

They would make a fortune!

This time, ten thousand disciples had come to Jade Spirit Mountain.

That number sounded huge—

But in reality, many other disciples had stayed behind.

They didn’t even need to sell these treasures to other sects.

Just selling them within their own sect would already be highly profitable!

At the base of a hill—

A few disciples were grinning to themselves.

They glanced at a junior disciple who had only brought one storage pouch and shook their heads.

“You should’ve listened to us! Now you’re the one suffering!”

“We told you—don’t just bring weapons, bring extra storage pouches!”

“With storage pouches, you have everything!”

“Now, look at all these treasures around you… but you can’t take them back!”

“Just tell me—are you anxious? Do you regret it?”

“By the time we come back again, who knows how long it’ll be? You can just sit and wallow in regret!”

The older disciples laughed, taking turns mocking their junior.

Not far away, Yu Ze’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

This was truly Heaven’s blessing!
