Sister Bi Xiao is in Trouble, Requesting Master's Help

Inside the cave, everything was tidily arranged.

Lin Feng toyed with the tattered beast skin map, his gaze falling upon the immortal island located deep within the East Sea. A faint, almost imperceptible curve graced the corner of his lips.

Just as he was about to speak and confirm their next destination, a glance from the corner of his eye caught sight of Qiong Xiao beside him. Her expression seemed off.

The young girl, who had been beaming with happiness and a rosy blush moments ago after being acknowledged as "one of their own," now had a pale face, her delicate brows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes filled with an unshakeable worry.

She looked as if she were carrying a monumental burden.

Lin Feng put away the map and his gaze settled calmly upon her.

"What's wrong?"

Those simple three words made Qiong Xiao's body tremble slightly.

She looked up, meeting Lin Feng's eyes, as deep as the starry sky. Her lips moved, as if she were hesitating whether to speak.

But upon thinking of the potential consequences, she ultimately couldn't remain silent.

"Master..."

Qiong Xiao's voice carried a barely perceptible tremor. "Are we... are we heading to the East Sea?"

Lin Feng nodded noncommittally, a silent confirmation.

Receiving his affirmative reply, the worry on Qiong Xiao's face intensified. She bit her lower lip and said urgently, "Master, to be frank, my second sister, Bi Xiao, and I had originally agreed to meet on an immortal island in the East Sea."

"Now... now that I've been chased by those villains and delayed for so long, and I've lost contact with her, I'm afraid..."

By this point, Qiong Xiao's voice was tinged with a sob.

She, Yun Xiao, and Bi Xiao were three sisters who had depended on each other since they gained sentience. Their bond was far beyond that of ordinary sisters.

Their eldest sister, Yun Xiao, had a steady temperament and was always able to consider the bigger picture.

Her second sister, Bi Xiao, was the complete opposite. She had a fiery temper, acted impulsively, and often did whatever came to mind, impossible to dissuade.

It was precisely because of this that Qiong Xiao worried even more.

After being unable to contact her for so long, with Bi Xiao's impatient nature, who knew what she might have done.

Lin Feng listened to her account, his expression unchanged, though his heart stirred slightly.

Bi Xiao?

The formidable individual who dared to chase Yuanshi Tianzun with the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors?

Interesting.

He looked at Qiong Xiao, who seemed lost and on the verge of tears. Without offering comfort, he casually tossed her the beast skin map he had just put away.

"The immortal island you mentioned, is it this one?"

Qiong Xiao instinctively reached out and caught it, still somewhat dazed.

But when her gaze fell upon the map and she saw the clearly marked destination, she was struck as if by lightning, freezing in place.

"This... this is!"

Qiong Xiao's fingers, trembling violently, pressed down firmly on the outline of the immortal island on the map, which was surrounded by chaotic energy currents.

"That's right! It's here! The place my sister and I agreed to meet is this Hun Yuan Immortal Island!"

She exclaimed, her heart pounding wildly, an indescribable chill shooting up her spine to the crown of her head.

How could it be such a coincidence?

The tattered map that Master casually obtained from the Golden Immortals who had been chasing her, had a destination that was exactly the same as the meeting point she and her sister had agreed upon!

Could such a coincidence truly exist in this world?

No!

Impossible!

A terrifying thought, like a wildly growing vine, instantly enveloped Qiong Xiao's entire mind.

This wasn't a coincidence!

This was absolutely not a coincidence!

Master... he knew from the very beginning!

He knew she would encounter disaster here, so he came to rescue her!

He knew her sister Bi Xiao might be in danger in the East Sea, so he specifically took this map from those Golden Immortals to guide the way!

All of this, every single bit of it, was within Master's calculations!

He wasn't passing by; he came to save her! He didn't just snatch treasure; he did it to help her find her sister!

Boom!

As this realization dawned on her, Qiong Xiao's mind went blank, buzzing loudly.

She looked at the man standing before her with his hands behind his back, his expression as indifferent as an eternal mountain. A tremor and awe originating from the depths of her soul made her feel as if she were suffocating.

What kind of heaven-reaching methods are these?

What kind of flawless strategies are these?

Foresight? Insight into heavenly secrets?

No, these words are not even a fraction of the Supreme Power's might!

This is clearly... a Supreme Power that toys with the heavenly secrets and fate of the entire Primordial World in the palm of its hand!

What seemed like a life-or-death tribulation to me, a desperate situation of being separated from my sisters, was merely a play with a pre-written script in Master's eyes.

And I am just a character in this play, following the path he wrote, step by step, towards the ending he had already arranged.

Terrifying!

So terrifying!

But after this extreme terror, what surged into my heart was unparalleled peace and ecstasy.

With such an omnipotent Master, who has foreseen all ages, as my reliance, where in this vast Primordial World can I not go? Who would dare provoke me?

At the same time, an even more heart-pounding thought surfaced in Qiong Xiao's mind.

The map marked an Ancient Cave Mansion!

Given her elder sister Bi Xiao's fearless personality, if she waited at the agreed spot and couldn't find her, and then discovered an ancient ruin, what would she do?

The answer was obvious!

She would definitely rush in alone!

The thought of the unknown dangers that might exist in the Ancient Cave Mansion, combined with her sister's impulsive and reckless nature, made Qiong Xiao's heart feel like it was being fiercely gripped by an invisible hand, causing her so much pain she could barely breathe.

No!

Absolutely not!

If something were to happen to her sister... she wouldn't want to live either!

But with her own strength, even if she rushed over now, what could she do?

The cave mansion that even Golden Immortals coveted—the dangers within were unimaginable. Rushing in would be a pointless death, and she might even become a burden to her sister.

What should I do?

What on earth should I do?

Despair and helplessness, like a cold tide, instantly engulfed Qiong Xiao completely.

Her gaze, subconsciously and solely, turned towards the towering figure in front of her.

Master!

Yes, there's Master!

He is omnipotent! He has flawless strategies!

Since he produced this map, he must have a way!

He is her only hope! And her sister's only chance of survival!

This thought, like the only ray of light in the darkness, instantly illuminated Qiong Xiao's heart, which was shrouded in despair.

She could no longer care about any reserve or etiquette; all reason was replaced by worry for her sister and boundless trust in Lin Feng.

"Thump!"

With a dull thud, Qiong Xiao's knees heavily impacted the hard stone ground.

She scrambled to Lin Feng's feet, her trembling hands tightly gripping his thigh as if clinging to the last straw.

The tears that had been accumulating in her eyes for a long time finally broke free, rolling down her pale, beautiful cheeks.

"Master!"

"Please! Please save my sister!"

Qiong Xiao's voice was hoarse, filled with a blood-curdling plea.

"Bi Xiao is impulsive; she must have rushed into that cave mansion alone! Please, have mercy and save her life!"

"Qiong Xiao... Qiong Xiao is willing to do anything for Master! Even be a beast of burden, a servant, a maid, never to be reborn, I would willingly do it!"

The maiden's cries echoed in the vast cave, filled with despair and humility.

She buried her head deeply, pressing it tightly against Lin Feng's trouser leg, as if only then could she draw a sliver of security.

Lin Feng looked down at the girl at his feet, who was crying rivers of tears, having completely abandoned all dignity and pride in her plea for him to save her sister. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well, showing no emotion.

Only the slight upturn of his lips revealed a hint of amusement.

This is more like it.

When you beg, you should have the attitude of someone begging.
