Jiu Wu: Woof Woof

The 'deal' is confirmed.

Lu Yao was visibly happier and became much more lively.

She looked at the golden wheel that was faintly visible behind Lin Fan's head and couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, sister, I haven't asked you yet, what kind of magical artifact is that golden wheel behind your head?"

"Under the soft golden light, my sister looked even more noble, which was truly enviable."

Lin Fan: "..."

Ritual implements?

Forehead...

He remained calm and said, "Sister, this magical artifact is called Light Bulb. Its brightness can be adjusted, so you can see clearly even in the dark."

Lu Yao: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???"

"That's... that's great, sister has a really good idea."

Light Bulb?

It glows at night?

Well... anyone who cultivates immortality, as long as they have some cultivation, can't shine, right?

Lu Yao blinked, but was too embarrassed to ask further.

"That's quite an idea." Lin Fan also thought the claim was nonsense, but wouldn't saying that there was Merit Golden Ring behind his head at this time just cause him trouble?

A single sentence is enough.

Lin Fan wasn't stupid. In the Purple Mansion Holy Land, having the Merit Golden Ring might bring many benefits, but what about spreading it around?

That would be quite a spectacle. There are probably countless enemies of the Purple Mansion Holy Land who can't stand to see him rise to power and will try every possible way to kill him.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to kill with their own hands?

Can't they at least create some puppets, train some assassins, or hire some lunatics to do the work?

The Merit Golden Ring does not guarantee absolute safety; on the contrary, it may actually make things more dangerous for both himself and Qi Zixiao.

Although it can't be hidden for long, it might be exposed a day later, and that's fine too.

"Let me think of a way for you now. If it works, we might be able to determine soon whether your lover can enter the Purple Mansion."

"Elder sister!!!"

Lu Yao blushed and said coquettishly, "I'm not your sweetheart..."

"Yes, I completely understand."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes.

Not my lover?

I don't believe you for a second, you little Saintess are wicked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan took out his 'terminal'. The reason he chose to use a terminal to contact her was naturally to further pique Lu Yao's interest in the Internet.

Then...

Right in front of Lu Yao, this guy added her as a friend request for "Come Drink Wine Or Not?"

Who is this?

Lu Yao was curious.

"Him? Hmm... he's a formidable elder within our Holy Land. In terms of combat prowess, even if we include the Holy Master Old Rascal, he's still among the top three of the previous generation!"

"If we could make him your lover's master, it would definitely reduce a lot of trouble."

"Ah?" Lu Yao's face lit up with joy. "Then thank you very much, sister."

"You're welcome..."

Lin Fan responded calmly.

You're welcome!

Although Jiu Wu is the Fifth Uncle-Master, his combat strength is indeed top-notch. Qi Zixiao once said that among so many disciples of the previous generation, only Mo Daolin and the ninth senior uncle Su Muxue are comparable.

Mo Daolin didn't mention that the previous Holy Son, the current Holy Master, was naturally incredibly powerful.

Who is Ninth Martial Uncle Su Muxue? She was the previous Saintess...

In other words, among the many powerful figures of the previous generation in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, apart from the Holy Son Saintess, no one could suppress Jiu Wu, so his strength was naturally extremely strong.

The problem is that while Jiu Wu is strong, he is also extremely carefree. He is not only slovenly but also eccentric. As for teaching disciples... let's not even go there.

It is said that he had taken on several apprentices over the years, but the first one was murdered by someone on his way down the mountain because he was drunk and made a mistake...

The second one didn't die, but now he's a drunkard all day and does nothing but drink.

The third one? He didn't die, nor was he drunk, but he was the most tragic one.

Because the third disciple of Jiu Wu is now responsible for brewing wine for Jiu Wu and his ' Second Brother '... and also needs to constantly improve the recipe...

If Lu Ming becomes his disciple, will he be the fourth disciple?

Cough cough cough.

Lin Fan didn't dare to say these things.

But currently, it seems that among Lin Fan's 'connections,' only Jiu Wu is someone he can really talk to.

What else can we do?

We can't exactly blackmail Mo Daolin by saying we know he used to peep at female disciples when he was young, can we?

at the same time.

Jiu Wu has changed his appearance and is now looking for his disciples to play mahjong.

Playing in ' Immortal Net '?

Come on!

After playing more than a dozen rounds and being utterly crushed in every single one, Jiu Wu's self-esteem was severely damaged. He vowed to join the other disciples in seclusion to cultivate and, after achieving 'great mastery of divine skills,' go to the Immortal Net to seek revenge on those guys!

Then...

Beep beep beep.

"That voice... did someone add me as a friend?"

Jiu Wu took out his terminal and activated it amidst the envious gazes of many disciples in the Alchemy Room. In an instant, a virtual image was projected.

"Saintess?"

"That's way too direct!"

Looking at the 'ID' that requested to be his friend, Jiu Wu slightly pursed his lips, but still chose to accept.

Then... the voice call connected.

"What's up?"

"Jiu Wu Shishu, is it convenient for you to speak?"

"Go ahead and say it! I'm playing mahjong here, and besides, they can't hear me."

Who is Jiu Wu?

If he wanted to mute the sounds in his area, they wouldn't be heard by those around him.

Therefore, amidst the envious gazes of the other disciples, Jiu Wu kept opening his mouth, but no sound came out, which seemed rather strange.

"That's good then, Uncle-Master. How about Qi Zixiao introduces you to a disciple?"

"No interest! Isn't it good enough Old Taoist me to be free and independent? Why would I need to take on disciples?"

"Ahem, Uncle-Master, you wouldn't want your skills to die out without a successor, would you? What if you pass away one day..."

"Pah! Can't you speak properly? A saintess, my Saintess! How could I, so young, be passing away already?"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, Uncle-Master, no matter what, there has to be a successor, right?"

"I have a disciple!"

"There are three... no, two."

"That doesn't seem enough, does it? Let me introduce you to this, the Ten Thousand Stars Body."

"Even if he has Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, I have no interest in him!"

"???"

Lin Fan was dumbfounded.

Lu Yao, standing to the side, was even more nervous. "This Fifth Uncle-Master has such high standards..."

You have no interest in the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo?

That's one of the strongest among all the sacred bodies...

Even a spirit body is one in a million, let alone the strongest among holy bodies?

She couldn't help but feel worried for her brother Lu Ming.

"Jiu Wu Shishu..." Lin Fan wanted to persuade him again.

"Don't bother trying to persuade me! It's no use saying anything. Wait a minute... Bang! One of Bamboo!"

Lin Fan: "..."

"Jiu Wu Shishu, you forced me to use my ultimate move!"

"Ultimate move? Ha, bring it on!"

"You forced me to do this, don't regret it!"

"Anyone who regrets it is a little dog!"

Lin Fan changed the subject. "Uncle-Master, how about we play a game of mahjong?"

In the Alchemy Room, Jiu Wu, who had been all smiles, suddenly paused, then said, "A handful? What do you take Jiu Wu for?"

"Two!"

"Just two..."

Five!

"Woof woof!"

"Then it's settled. I'll bring the person to you first thing tomorrow morning."

The communication was disconnected.

Lu Yao was filled with question marks, "???"

"Sister, why was this Fifth Uncle-Master..."

You don't understand.

Lin Fan remained 'calm': "Our Fifth Uncle-Master is a bit playful..."

Lu Yao: "???"

Am I asking about being playful?

I was asking him why he wanted to bark, okay?

She vaguely sensed something was wrong; this Fifth Uncle-Master seemed a bit unreliable!

Seeing the change in her expression, Lin Fan knew he had to say something, so he said, "Sister, you are a bit younger than me, so you are probably not as familiar with the ways of the world as I am."

"So, you don't know, you have to cater to different people's preferences!"

There's an old saying that goes, "There's nothing a barbecue can't solve; if there is, then two barbecues will do!"

"Although this mahjong set isn't barbecue, it's currently Fifth Uncle-Master's favorite item. By catering to his preferences, success is assured."

"Moreover, you must not underestimate this little mahjong set. It contains profound truths about life and the great principles of the universe!"

At that moment, Lin Fan suddenly understood why Qi Zixiao had managed to gain the complete trust of Dan Chengzi and the others...

For these cultivators, what attracts them most? Of course, it's the constant talk of the Great Dao and profound truths.

"Ah?"

"I see!"

With all her doubts dispelled, Lu Yao asked curiously, "Then, may I ask if you could teach me to play... mahjong?"

"Sure!"

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, Lin Fan set off under the pretext of taking the Jade Pool Saintess to tour the Purple Mansion Holy Land. In reality, he had arranged with Jiu Wu to leave Lu Ming to him.

During this process, Lu Yao was naturally extremely reluctant to part, her eyes filled with tears.

But she is also a person who plans ahead.

After Lu Ming left, the team was one person short, but she immediately used her magic to conjure up a 'person'.

Although it's just an illusion, it's generally not noticeable unless thoroughly investigated.

Moreover, to prevent any accidents, she later asked Lin Fan for leave, "Sister, it's getting late, and I've pretty much finished exploring the Purple Mansion Holy Land."

"Thank you so much for your hospitality, sister. I am overjoyed, but good times always pass too quickly. Now, it is time to say goodbye..."

"Are you leaving already?" Lin Fan knew what was going on, but he had to play along for the moment.

"Cultivating immortality is going against the will of Heaven, and my sister dares not waste too much time. She plans to visit your holy Holy Master alone later before departing."

"Very well, in that case, I won't try to stop you..."

"That's only right, sister. I'll take my leave now."

After the two sides parted ways, Lin Fan took the two women back to Bright Moon Peak, while Lu Yao settled the Protector Disciple aside and headed towards the Purple Mansion Palace.

On the way home.

Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining were filled with questions...

What's going on here?

The Jade Pool Saintess came over, did nothing but play around for a while, and then prepared to leave.

This... just doesn't make sense!

What happened to the plan to cause trouble?

Wait, something's not right!

The moment they set foot on Bright Moon Peak, Chen Cheng was deeply moved and couldn't help but ask the question that had been lingering in her mind.
