Red Pepper Afraid Of Spicy

Jiang Hao transmigrated and was born into an ordinary household. His family was forced to sell him off into a demonic sect and he became a disciple.
He planned to cultivate, gradually become stronger, and live a peaceful life in the cultivation world. However, he was humiliated constantly by a demoness.
The difference in their abilities was astronomical. He had no choice but to endure the humiliation, hoping that he never would have to encounter her again.
He, who had no backing, caught the eye of the leader of the sect and finally could cultivate in peace. When he became the head disciple and met with the sect leader, he was stunned.
As he looked at the other party’s beautiful face, he was stunned. Wasn’t this person the demoness from before?
“My dual cultivation partner is actually the sect's patriarch?! ”
”Should I tell her that everyone in this sect is a spy?“

Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Jiang Hao was confused. He didn't know what he had achieved this time.

He had taken care not to do anything big during this mission. He had only performed the duties assigned to him and nothing else.

How could he have achieved something big?

Seeing Jiang Hao bewildered, Liu Xingchen smiled. "Junior Brother Jiang, did you meet a lantern-carrying person on your mission?"

"Lantern-carrying person?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Yes." Liu Xingchen nodded. "Do you know that he was captured?"

"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded. He had met him while patrolling.

"He said you led him to the trap that led to his capture. His capture is credited to you," said Liu Xingchen.

Jiang Hao was at a loss for words.

He was perplexed. The direction he had pointed at shouldn't have led him to a trap.

How did the lantern-carrying disciple end up there?

Were the traps both inside and outside the sect?
