"Master, your intuition was right. That was exactly what the Realm Spirit had been plotting."
Immortal Spirit answered without hesitation.
Yunxi pondered for a moment, then said:
"Immortal Spirit, this doesn't seem like your usual style. You actually aren't asking for any extra reward?"
"Hehe! Master, the Realm Spirit deliberately obscured the mission details. As long as Master completes the mission, Immortal Spirit can claim the reward himself and leave the Realm Spirit with nothing to say."
"Immortal Spirit, are you sure doing this won't make the Realm Spirit kick us out?"
Yunxi narrowed her eyes as she asked.
"Rest assured, Master. He can only protect himself now and has no ability to do anything to Master. If Master throws down the burden, the Realm Spirit won't be able to find a second person willing to take over this mess."
Immortal Spirit's answer was brimming with confidence.
Yunxi gave a light cough and sent a voice transmission:
"Immortal Spirit, when you went with me to the Realm Spirit's territory before, was it to assess the Realm Spirit's condition?"
"Yes! Otherwise, how could I be sure that after Master risked her life to deal with Li Chang, he would be able to fulfill his promise? Feeling out his strength was merely incidental, to make Master's subsequent actions easier. I could only communicate with him through consciousness, so if I did not get a clear grasp of the Realm Spirit's condition, it would not have been wise to go too far."
Immortal Spirit admitted it openly.
Yunxi rubbed her nose and directly brought Dian Dian out from her spatial storage.
The instant Dian Dian poked its head out, it anxiously sent a voice transmission:
"Master, Dian Dian senses that your cultivation is unstable. Did something happen? Did that pill go wrong?"
Yunxi
