Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Starts by Drawing Her Sword Against Dingguang Immortal

"Heh heh, Master's name is really useful. It seems I'll have to make a banner to carry around from now on, inscribed with 'I am a direct disciple of Saint Tongtian'."

Just then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's thoughts.

Yunxiao looked at Li Xiao with disbelief, her eyes twitching violently. She exclaimed, "Senior Brother Li Xiao, you... Master didn't really send you, did he?"

"Uh? Junior Sister Yunxiao, you knew that too?"

Li Xiao admitted it generously.

Yunxiao was speechless, a line of blackness appearing on her forehead.

Beside them, Zhao Gongming staggered, almost falling off the black tiger's back and into the sea.

Zhao Gongming's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Xiao in disbelief, exclaiming, "Senior Brother Li Xiao, you... you actually impersonated Master's decree! You... you're too bold!"

"What's there to it? I assume Master isn't so petty as to punish me for such a small matter!"

Li Xiao said dismissively.

In fact, Li Xiao said this to preemptively block Tongtian Cult Master's mouth. If Tongtian Cult Master were to punish him for this, it would mean Tongtian Cult Master was petty.

In Biyou Palace, Tongtian Cult Master let out a muffled grunt, nearly hurting himself from holding back.

"Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, Junior Sister Yunxiao, you two carry on. I'll be heading back to Golden Ao Island first!"

Li Xiao said with a smile to Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao.

"Senior Brother, please do as you wish!"

Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao cupped their fists at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao nodded and rode his cloud towards Golden Ao Island.

As soon as Li Xiao arrived at Golden Ao Island, Kui Niu walked over and spoke human words, saying, "Senior Brother Li Xiao, Master requests your presence!"

Li Xiao looked at Kui Niu and grinned, asking, "Junior Brother Kui Niu, do you know why Master is looking for me?"

Kui Niu grinned and whispered, "Senior Brother Li Xiao should be careful. I saw Master's displeased expression!"

"Displeased expression?"

Li Xiao's face twitched fiercely upon hearing this. He swallowed and looked at Kui Niu, saying, "Junior Brother Kui Niu, uh... uh, I've never seen you before, and you haven't seen me!"

With that, Li Xiao turned and left Golden Ao Island, riding his cloud to escape.

Kui Niu stood frozen, his ox face twitching violently. He hurriedly roared, "Senior Brother Li Xiao, it's Master's decree! You... you actually dare not go? Where are you going..."

"I haven't seen you!"

Li Xiao's voice came from afar.

Chapter 13: Junior Brothers Are Meant to Be Tricked

In Biyou Palace, Tongtian Cult Master trembled with rage, his body surrounded by chaotic mystic light. He roared repeatedly, his eyes red, "Rebellious disciple, rebellious disciple..."

Kui Niu below trembled in fear, not daring to breathe.

After a while, Tongtian Cult Master finally calmed down. His eyes flickered, and he muttered, "Hmph, that rebellious disciple only has the cultivation of Heavenly Immortal Mid-stage. He's bound to suffer some hardship when he goes out. A little suffering might be good..."

After a moment's hesitation, Tongtian Cult Master looked at Kui Niu and said, "Bull, go to Three Immortal Island again and have the Three Xiao sisters secretly protect Li Xiao!"

"Yes, Master!"

Kui Niu, relieved, hurried out of Biyou Palace and rode his cloud towards Three Immortal Island.

Upon reaching the outskirts of Three Immortal Island, Kui Niu cupped his fists towards the island and asked, "Are the Three Xiao sisters on the immortal island?"

Just then, the Three Xiao sisters and Zhao Gongming emerged.

Yunxiao looked at Kui Niu and asked, "Junior Brother Kui Niu, did Master send you? Is there something you need?"

Kui Niu said with a wry smile, "Junior Sister Yunxiao, Fifth Senior Brother..."

"What about Fifth Senior Brother?"

Yunxiao quickly asked.

Kui Niu said with a wry smile, "Fifth Senior Brother defied Master's decree and left Golden Ao Island privately to travel in the Primordial World. Master is worried about Fifth Senior Brother and sent me to deliver a message, asking the three Senior Sisters to secretly protect Fifth Senior Brother!"

"Huh?"

Yunxiao couldn't help but smile wryly.

Zhao Gongming's face twitched violently, his mouth agape. Clearly, he was shocked that Li Xiao dared to defy Tongtian Cult Master's decree.

However, on second thought, if Li Xiao dared to impersonate Tongtian Cult Master, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do, so he quickly accepted it.

"If that's the case, then we'll trouble Junior Brother Kui Niu for making this trip. We'll leave right away!"

Yunxiao cupped her fists at Kui Niu and then rode her cloud.

Zhao Gongming, having nothing else to do, also went with the Three Xiao sisters to secretly protect Li Xiao.

At this time, Li Xiao's cultivation was low, and he was traveling leisurely, so his speed was very slow. Thus, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao sisters quickly caught up with Li Xiao and hid in the shadows to protect him.

Li Xiao rode his cloud leisurely, feeling incredibly refreshed.

Just then, Li Xiao spotted a tall, thin Daoist.

This Daoist was none other than Pilu Immortal, one of the Seven Immortals serving under Tongtian Cult Master!

Pilu Immortal also saw Li Xiao, hesitated, then stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting, "Fifth Senior Brother, why are you here?"

Li Xiao could clearly see the disdain and contempt in Pilu Immortal's eyes. Pilu Immortal's greeting was merely out of politeness.

"I was bored and just wandering around!"

Li Xiao deliberately emphasized "I" to annoy Pilu Immortal.

The implication was that no matter how incompetent he was, he was still a direct disciple of Saint Tongtian, and thus, your Senior Brother!

Pilu Immortal naturally understood the meaning. He let out a muffled grunt, looked at Li Xiao with a fake smile, cupped his hands again, and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, this humble Taoist has some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"

With that, Pilu Immortal fled in a hurry.

"Hmph, you think you can mess with me? You're still too green!"

Li Xiao spat in the direction Pilu Immortal had fled, sneering dismissively.

Just as Li Xiao was about to leave, he saw a gourd leaf on the ground. He hesitated for a moment, then picked it up.

Pilu Immortal had attained enlightenment from a green-skinned gourd, so this gourd leaf had clearly been left behind by him accidentally.

After putting away the gourd leaf, Li Xiao continued his cloud journey.

Not long after, a red light shot up into the sky, blocking Li Xiao's path.

Li Xiao was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Is a treasure about to appear? This humble Taoist is truly beloved by all, blooming like a flower, with unbeatable luck! I've barely left Golden Ao Island and already encountered a treasure..."

In secret, the Three Xiao sisters and Zhao Gongming rolled their eyes in unison.

"Eldest Sister, Brother, this Fifth Senior Brother is a bit too narcissistic..."

Bixiao rolled her eyes and pouted.

Yunxiao could only offer a wry smile.

Zhao Gongming also listened with a helpless expression.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao quickly used his Great Dao Divine Eyes to examine what treasure had appeared.

Upon checking, Li Xiao was immediately delighted.

Ahead, he saw a plant about ten feet long. Hanging from the plant were two bright red fruits that emitted astonishing spiritual energy and continuous Dao rhymes. It was clear at a glance that they were no ordinary items.

"Bodhi Vermilion Fruit!"

Through his Great Dao Divine Eyes, Li Xiao learned the name of this item.

It also had another alias, known as Blood Bodhi, a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root. It contained an extremely astonishing amount of spiritual energy, and obtaining it would surely lead to a significant increase in cultivation.

"Haha, I'm rich now!"

Li Xiao was overjoyed and immediately flew towards it.

However, when he arrived at the location of the Blood Bodhi, someone was already there. It was none other than Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

Clearly, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had also been attracted by the red light of the Blood Bodhi.

"My heavens..."

Li Xiao was utterly speechless.

There was only one Blood Bodhi, and Chang'er Dingguang Immortal had arrived first. If he went out now, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal would certainly not give him the twin Bodhi fruits.

"Damn it, is my luck really this bad?"

Li Xiao pouted, feeling helpless.

Suddenly, a mischievous idea bubbled up in Li Xiao's mind. He grinned and said, "I've got it! Pilu Immortal, Pilu Immortal, you dared to look down on me, so you'll take the blame for me this time!"

With that, Li Xiao transformed into the appearance of Pilu Immortal and walked towards Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

"Senior Brother Dingguang!"

Li Xiao greeted Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal looked at Li Xiao and said, "Junior Brother Pilu, why have you come here?"

Li Xiao cupped his hands towards Chang'er Dingguang Immortal and said, "Senior Brother, Teacher has summoned you to Biyou Palace!"

"Teacher?"

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was taken aback. He glanced back at the Blood Bodhi, hesitating.

Li Xiao looked at Chang'er Dingguang Immortal and smiled, "Senior Brother, don't worry. This Blood Bodhi hasn't matured yet. Senior Brother can set up a seal. If anyone touches Senior Brother's seal, Senior Brother will surely sense it! Moreover, this place is secluded and hard to find, so Senior Brother can rest assured!"

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal nodded and said, "Junior Brother speaks wisely!"

With that, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal formed hand seals and set up a seal.

Li Xiao, standing nearby, watched with sharp eyes, already understanding Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's seal.

"Junior Brother, let's go!"
