Apprentice! Why Are You Running?
"All of them?" Long Xiaoxiao murmured.
Seeing Xiao Yao nod slightly, she said irritably, "How could it be all of them? Do you think Great Emperor Realm cultivators are as easy to find as dogs?"
"But isn't the Dragon Palace supposed to have a very strong foundation?"
Xiao Yao's question left Long Xiaoxiao speechless for a moment. She coughed and said, "No matter how profound the cultivation is, it's impossible for all Dragon Clan to reach the Great Emperor Realm First Tier."
"How many can you train?" Bai Yun'er asked curiously.
She knew that cultivating a Great Emperor Realm cultivator required a huge amount of cultivation resources. Although the Dragon Palace could do it, it could never mass-produce them as Xiao Yao claimed.
Otherwise, the Dragon Palace wouldn't have declined; it should have unified the entire world long ago, and countless forces would have been conquered by the Dragon Palace.
Long Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then finally opened her mouth slightly, "About 10 people, but that would drain the Dragon Palace's resources, so it's impossible to actually do such a thing."
"Ten people? That's double the five I expected. I have a general idea of the Dragon Palace's true strength now." Bai Yun'er's words were full of surprise.
At this moment, Long Xiaoxiao realized that she had exposed the Dragon Palace's secrets and said urgently, "Bai Yun'er, you mustn't tell outsiders about this, otherwise I will be a sinful dragon of the Dragon Clan."
"A sinful dragon? What does that have to do with me?" Bai Yun'er teased, a slight smile playing on her lips.
As a result, Long Xiaoxiao actually believed it!
Anxious, she looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Disciple, quickly go and persuade your Third Master. Once this matter is exposed, the Dragon Palace will have to be on guard against thieves at all times. We are afraid that another terrible thief like Sister Susu will appear in the future."
"Fourth Master, calm down! Calm down!" Xiao Yao said repeatedly.
But Long Xiaoxiao was already panicked, so how could she calm down immediately? She even pouted and complained, "Calm down! This concerns the future of the Dragon Palace, how can you expect me to calm down?"
"Third Master was just joking with you, can't you tell?"
Xiao Yao realized that in order to put his Fourth Master at ease, he had to give a detailed explanation, otherwise they would not understand what he meant at all.
Long Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said, "How come I didn't see it or hear it?"
"Even if being my Third Master isn't a joke, it's for real..."
Before Xiao Yao could finish speaking, Long Xiaoxiao interrupted him, saying, "What do you mean 'even if it's true'? It's clearly true."
Bai Yun'er maintained a faint smile on the surface, but inside she was overjoyed. She discovered that teasing Long Xiaoxiao was genuinely fun.
"Very well! As you say, that's true, but why are you so convinced that your lifespan is limited? Even quasi-immortals possess endless lifespans!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yao's words, Long Xiaoxiao beamed with joy and said, "That's right! With my disciple's Primordial Golden Dragon Body, I'm sure I can cultivate to the Quasi-Immortal Realm. At that time, even if that Bai Yun'er spreads the word everywhere, I won't be afraid."
Bai Yun'er rolled her eyes, ignoring the matter, and instead began to think more deeply.
Xiao Yao believed that Long Xiaoxiao would at least reach the Quasi-Immortal Realm in the future.
This means that Xiao Yao is willing to stay with them forever and will definitely use various means to help the four of them cultivate to at the Quasi-Immortal Realm.
While immortals could certainly do it, from what she understood, it was also extremely difficult.
Just like her current cultivation level is at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate a Direct Disciple at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, even if that disciple possessed the Emperor's Bearing.
Therefore, by analogy, it must be extremely difficult for an immortal to cultivate their disciple to the immortal realm.
At this point, some people will definitely think that cultivating to the Quasi-Immortal Realm is very simple.
It will indeed be much simpler, but it will still be difficult, because the Quasi-Immortal Realm has the word "Immortal" in it!
Therefore, cultivators at the Quasi-Immortal Realm no longer belong to the Human Realm, but have truly entered the Immortal Realm.
If it weren't too difficult for a human to ascend to the status of an immortal, then immortals would be everywhere!
Instead of the fact that, in the tens of millions of years since the immortals ascended to the Immortal Realm, only a few cultivators have become immortals and been forcibly ascended to the Immortal Realm.
Thinking of this, Bai Yun'er became even more convinced that Xiao Yao's previous life did not possess the cultivation level of the Immortal Realm, but rather a higher realm beyond the Immortal Realm.
Only by thinking this way can everything make sense.
Coming to a stop in her thoughts, Bai Yun'er looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Disciple, you've finished looking, shouldn't we go back?"
"Go back for what? To go back to sleep? I finally get a chance to spend time with my disciple, I don't want to go back to bed." Long Xiaoxiao immediately rejected the idea.
Bai Yun'er did not refute, and she even thought Long Xiaoxiao was right.
But she didn't know where to go next, so she asked, "So what are you planning to do?"
"Of course, it's soaking in the Imperial Dragon Heavenly Spring!" Long Xiaoxiao's voice became very sweet, as if she was recalling a beautiful memory.
Xiao Yao fell silent. Just half a year ago, he was accused of ruining his innocence, but now things have changed. His Fourth Master is truly fickle!
"Then let's go to Imperial Dragon Heavenly Spring." Surprisingly, Bai Yun'er did not object.
This made Long Xiaoxiao wary. She looked at Bai Yun'er cautiously and said, "Let me tell you, Sister Susu is very likely watching us all along, so don't do anything too inappropriate to your disciple."
"I'm not like you, I know how to behave." Bai Yun'er rolled her eyes at Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao chuckled sheepishly, "Haha! That's good, that's good!"
Without wasting any more time, Xiao Yao, Bai Yun'er, and Long Xiaoxiao went straight to the huge Imperial Dragon Heavenly Spring.
After casting a disguise spell, Xiao Yao was left wearing only his underwear, while his two masters were wrapped in white bath towels.
"Bai Yun'er, why are we wrapped in bath towels?"
Suddenly, Long Xiaoxiao asked a question that struck at the heart of the matter.
Bai Yun'er wasn't taken aback, and directly explained, "According to Sister Susu's original words, what I like is not complete exposure, but partial exposure."
"Second Master, how could you tell Third Master everything? That would mean I'd miss out on some benefits!" Xiao Yao thought to himself, speechless.
"Oh! I see! But it's not like I'm running to the Imperial Dragon Heavenly Spring with my disciple every day, so it doesn't matter this time!"
Just as Long Xiaoxiao was about to lift the bath towel, Bai Yun'er added insult to injury, "Long Xiaoxiao, you'll get tired of seeing this so easily. I think you probably don't want your disciple to lose interest in your body in the future!"
"Third Master! That's enough!" Xiao Yao roared inwardly.
Now he could only hope that his Fourth Master could hold on, and Long Xiaoxiao nodded, "That makes sense!"
At this moment, Xiao Yao could certainly try to persuade him with words, but that would expose his true nature!
Furthermore, the four masters will be his sooner or later; there's no need to rush this time, as that would be too short-sighted.
He then rushed directly into the Imperial Dragon Heavenly Spring, ignoring any further conversation between his two masters.
Seeing this, Bai Yun'er's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Why did he suddenly stop waiting for us?" Long Xiaoxiao was very puzzled.
Bai Yun'er chuckled awkwardly and said, "Maybe they can't stand our embarrassing conversation!"
After a while, Xiao Yao still hadn't seen his two masters.
"Do the Third Master and the Fourth Master have so many things in common to talk about?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Yao felt his underwear being pulled down. He quickly pulled it up and said irritably, "Third Master, Fourth Master, this is no fun at all."
But there was no response.
This is actually normal. Bai Yun'er only learned from Dongfang Xuetong and Su Tanmeng that Xiao Yao had a lot of resources.
Like Long Xiaoxiao, she can also sense the specifics through her perception.
But seeing the actual object is a completely different experience.
Absolutely stunning! Absolutely stunning!
Seeing no reaction, Xiao Yao realized that it wasn't a prank by his two masters, but rather that there was something unclean or ominous about the Imperial Dragon Heavenly Spring.
Startled, he quickly jumped out of the hot spring, intending to wait on the shore first.
Hearing the commotion, Bai Yun'er and Long Xiaoxiao snapped out of their daze and quickly surfaced, shouting in unison, "Disciple! Why are you running?"
Xiao Yao then stopped, turned around and looked down, and saw that it was his two masters.
I instantly felt a sense of relief.
After flying down, he glared angrily at Bai Yun'er and Long Xiaoxiao.
"Third Master! Fourth Master! Is this really necessary?"
Knowing they were in the wrong, Bai Yun'er and Long Xiaoxiao remained silent, like children being scolded by their parents for making a mistake.
At this moment, Xiao Yao finally understood what emotional abuse meant.
So she asked gently, "Do you think it's big?"
"Huge!" Long Xiaoxiao blurted out, then realized she had been tricked.
Bai Yun'er covered her mouth with one hand. If Long Xiaoxiao hadn't said it outright, she definitely would have said the same thing.
"Third Master, what are your thoughts?" Xiao Yao looked at Bai Yun'er, his face full of a proud smile.
Seeing that Xiao Yao wasn't angry, but instead smiled, Bai Yun'er said from the bottom of her heart, "I'm sure I'll be super happy in the future!"
"As expected, both of them are rebellious disciples who defy their master! Now I can rest assured!" Xiao Yao thought to himself.
But on the surface, Xiao Yao's face instantly turned cold, and he angrily said, "If you want to see, just say so. You two are my masters, do you think I would dare not let you see? As a result, my heart was pounding just now, I was almost scared to death."
"We won't do it again next time!" Bai Yun'er and Long Xiaoxiao said in unison.
Xiao Yao didn't say anything more to make things difficult, but instead stepped into the hot spring and continued soaking.
Just then, two heavenly voices came from afar, "Disciple, we've arrived!"
Xiao Yao knew without thinking that it was the Senior Disciple Master and Second Master who couldn't help themselves.
The Third Master and the Fourth Master's expressions darkened as they wondered if their previous actions had been seen remotely by Su Tanmeng or even Dongfang Xuetong.
