Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword Against Dingguang Immortal at the Start

"Roar..."

Just then, a loud tiger roar echoed.

Yunxiao and her sisters looked up and saw a Taoist priest riding a black tiger approaching.

"Eldest Brother..."

The three sisters rejoiced and hurried forward to bow.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming looked at the three sisters and smiled, "It's been many years, how have you three sisters been?"

"Big Brother, we are doing well."

Qiongxiao hesitated, wanting to say more but stopping herself.

Zhao Gongming noticed this and frowned slightly, but didn't press further.

The siblings exchanged a few pleasantries.

Zhao Gongming then found an excuse and pulled Qiongxiao and Bixiao aside, asking, "Two sisters, how is your eldest sister? She seems... a bit off!"

"Oh no, Big Brother, our eldest sister is suffering from demonic possession!"

Bixiao said anxiously.

"Demonic possession? What do you mean?"

Zhao Gongming was confused.

"A few days ago, eldest sister actually drew her sword and attacked Senior Brother Dingguang Immortal..."

Bixiao said.

"What? Drew her sword and attacked Dingguang Immortal? This..."

Zhao Gongming's old face twitched violently, finding it hard to believe.

Was this still the gentle and virtuous Yunxiao sister he knew?

"Teacher said eldest sister's cultivation has gone awry..."

Bixiao continued.

"Cultivation deviation?"

Zhao Gongming grinned.

"Also, eldest sister has been running to Fifth Peak a lot lately, eldest sister might..."

Qiongxiao hesitated for a moment and said.

"Might what? Hurry up and say it, you're going to drive me crazy!"

Zhao Gongming was extremely anxious and urged them on.

"Eldest sister might have fallen for Fifth Senior Brother..."

Bixiao said with a wry smile.

"What? This... How is this possible? How could Yunxiao sister fall for that waste? This... What on earth happened? This, this..."

Zhao Gongming exploded upon hearing the news, exclaiming in shock and anger.

Li Xiao was notoriously a waste within the Intercepting Sect!

Zhao Gongming naturally didn't want his sister to be with a waste.

"Perhaps Fifth Senior Brother has cast some kind of demonic possession on eldest sister..."

Bixiao stuck out her cute, mischievous little tongue and said.

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming became furious, gritting his teeth, "Hmph, you good-for-nothing Li Xiao, how dare you have designs on my sister! I'll make you pay!"

With that, Zhao Gongming turned, mounted his black tiger, and left Three Immortal Island, heading straight for Golden Ao Island.

"Oh no, Big Brother..."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were extremely anxious.

Just then, Yunxiao walked out. Seeing Zhao Gongming riding away on his black tiger, she couldn't help but frown deeply. She turned to Qiongxiao and Bixiao and said angrily, "What did you two say to Big Brother? Why did Big Brother leave in a huff?"

"We didn't say anything, we just said, eldest sister, you might like Fifth Senior Brother..."

Qiongxiao said guiltily.

"Oh, you two, really..."

Yunxiao was extremely anxious and quickly rode her cloud to chase after Zhao Gongming.

"Eldest sister, wait for us..."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao hurried to chase after Yunxiao.

Zhao Gongming rode his black tiger, arriving at Golden Ao Island with great momentum.

However, upon reaching Golden Ao Island, he deflated a bit. After all, Golden Ao Island was the dojo of the Tongtian Cult Master, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Just then, he had been angry and put on a fierce front. If he went back like this, he was afraid he'd be laughed to death by Qiongxiao and Bixiao, those two little girls.

Thus, Zhao Gongming had no choice but to steel himself and continue on.

Upon reaching the Fifth Peak, Zhao Gongming took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards the Fifth Grotto, "Zhao Gongming requests an audience with Fifth Senior Brother!"

"Eh? Junior Brother Gongming, please come in!"

Li Xiao walked out, smiling.

Li Xiao actually had a good impression of Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming was the God of Wealth in later generations, and he was also kind, extremely loyal, and devoted to the Intercepting Sect.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person. Li Xiao had greeted him warmly.

Zhao Gongming found it difficult to directly question him, so he could only force a smile and follow Li Xiao into the grotto.

After entering the grotto, they both took their seats.

Li Xiao smiled at Zhao Gongming and asked, "Junior Brother Gongming, what brings you to my humble abode?"

Just as Zhao Gongming was about to speak, he saw the Three Xiao sisters rush in anxiously.

"Eldest Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, are you... are you alright?"

Yunxiao, fearing that Zhao Gongming and Li Xiao would come to blows, asked hurriedly.

"Junior Sister Yunxiao, what are you talking about? What could happen to the two of us?"

Li Xiao said with a chuckle.

Yunxiao then relaxed and looked at Zhao Gongming, "Eldest Brother, things aren't what you think. I'll explain in detail later..."

"Oh!"

Zhao Gongming nodded in acknowledgment.

"Talk about what? What happened?"

Li Xiao looked at Zhao Gongming and his sister, utterly bewildered.

"Uh... uh, Fifth Senior Brother, it's nothing. We have some matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now. Goodbye..."

Yunxiao gave an awkward smile, pulled Zhao Gongming, and headed out.

Li Xiao was even more confused.

Alas, the Zhao siblings are truly pitiable. Such loyal and righteous individuals, yet they all met a fate of death and destruction in the end. Although Yunxiao survived, she was crushed under Qilin Cliff. Truly tragic...

Just as Yunxiao was leaving the Fifth Grotto, Li Xiao's thoughts suddenly echoed in her mind.

Yunxiao was greatly shaken. She turned back and looked at Li Xiao with disbelief, inwardly startled, "What? Eldest Brother and my two sisters will die? I'll be crushed under Qilin Cliff? This... this..."

Seeing Yunxiao looking at him, Li Xiao was first stunned, then flashed a smile he thought was charming.

Yunxiao composed herself and pulled Zhao Gongming and the others away.

After leaving Golden Ao Island, Yunxiao's unease grew. She looked at Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao and said, "Eldest Brother, my two sisters, I have something to attend to and need to see our Teacher. Please return to Golden Ao Island and wait for me!"

"Sister Yunxiao, what happened? Your complexion doesn't look too good,"

Zhao Gongming frowned deeply, looking at Yunxiao suspiciously.

"Oh, it's nothing. What could happen to me? Eldest Brother, please go back first!"

Yunxiao forced a smile.

"Alright then, Sister Yunxiao. If you need anything, just tell Eldest Brother. Take care, and we'll be heading back now..."

Zhao Gongming was still somewhat worried.

"Yes, don't worry, Eldest Brother. This is Golden Ao Island, what could possibly happen!"

Yunxiao said with a strained smile.

"Then Sister, we'll wait for you on Three Immortal Island!"

Zhao Gongming nodded, then left with Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

Yunxiao, however, rushed anxiously to the front of Biyou Palace and cupped her hands, "Teacher, your disciple Yunxiao requests an audience!"

"Come in!"

Tongtian Cult Master's voice came from within Biyou Palace.

Yunxiao rose, pushed open the door, and walked in. Seeing Tongtian Cult Master reclining on a cloud bed, she quickly cupped her hands, "Disciple Yunxiao greets Teacher!"

Tongtian Cult Master waved his large sleeve, creating a barrier, and looked at Yunxiao, asking, "Yunxiao, what has happened?"

Yunxiao quickly cupped her hands to Tongtian Cult Master, "Teacher, I heard Fifth Senior Brother's thoughts again. He said... he said..."

Seeing Yunxiao's distressed expression, Tongtian Cult Master couldn't help but frown and ask, "Yunxiao, what exactly happened? Why is your face so pale?"

Yunxiao was on the verge of tears. Looking at Tongtian Cult Master, she said urgently, "Teacher, I heard Fifth Senior Brother's thoughts saying that my brother Zhao Gongming, as well as my sisters Qiongxiao and Bixiao, will all die and their paths will be destroyed. I will be crushed under Qilin Cliff. I implore you, Teacher, to please save us siblings!"
