Now, Xu Xiao had offered her a way to help her.
Honestly, she was a little tempted. She would not need to rebuild her cultivation, her strength would remain intact, she could become human, there was no danger, and she could even go out occasionally.
There did not seem to be any downside.
After giving it some thought, the Blue Silver Emperor nodded in agreement under the eager gazes of the Blue Silver King and the others.
"Hahahaha, Xu brat, I knew you were a good person. Humanity is fortunate to have someone like you."
"If you ever need anything, come find me here. I will not refuse."
The Blue Silver King burst into laughter, in the best mood imaginable. His Emperor had finally abandoned the idea of taking human form.
With the Emperor here, the Blue Silver clan was truly blessed!!
"If I need Soul Rings, will you help me too, Senior?" Xu Xiao asked with a sly grin.
"You brat, as long as they are not too high in age, what is the harm in helping you once?"
The Blue Silver King extended a vine and patted Xu Xiao. This brat really was pushing his luck.
"Hahaha, then thank you, Senior." Xu Xiao laughed.
"Do not celebrate too early. My Emperor will be following you, so do not mistreat her."
"I hope that when we meet again, my Emperor will be even stronger!"
The Blue Silver King truly had the Blue Silver Emperor's best interests at heart. Even now, he remained utterly loyal to her.
In the original work, the Blue Silver King had also been an elder loyal to the extreme. Upon seeing his Emperor's bloodline, he had willingly evolved his martial soul for him.
The Blue Silver Emperor might not have been much good, but the Blue Silver King was definitely a good one—the very best kind.
Xu Xiao looked at the Blue Silver King. "Senior, if you are willing, you may come with us as well."
The Blue Silver King waved his vines. "No, no. The Blue Silver Forest needs me!"
The Blue Silver Emperor looked at the Blue Silver King with relief and solemnly said, "Xiao Lan, I leave the forest to you!"
Hearing that, Xu Xiao smiled inwardly.
Ah Yin was gone. There was only the Blue Silver Emperor now. Tang San's mother no longer existed. If Tang San had truly been brought here by the Asura God, as people had said in his previous life, then Tang San had no mother now.
Should he find Tang San a new one?
He remembered that his eldest brother next door, Xu Xin, had arranged a mother for Tang San. He could try it too. (Xu Xin was the protagonist of Little Author Mask's book, while Tang San was Toad Tang San!)
As he thought about it, Xu Xiao could not help but smile.
After bidding farewell to the Blue Silver Emperor, Xu Xiao opened the secret realm passage and left with his three brothers and the Blue Silver King.
Before leaving, Xu Xiao also told the Blue Silver Emperor that his Fourth Brother was inside, so she should not start a fight with him later.
After saying goodbye to the Blue Silver King, Xu Xiao and the other four left the Blue Silver Forest.
Along the way, Chen Xin finally could not hold back any longer. "Big Brother, did you bring that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast along so you can absorb her later?"
"As expected of Big Brother, planning ahead like this!"
Chen Xin admired his eldest brother somewhat. He had casually tricked a Soul Beast into following him, and it was even a hundred-thousand-year one.
As long as they fooled her properly, once Big Brother's Soul Power reached the required level, he could directly absorb her. What a scheme!
Xu Xiao immediately smacked Chen Xin over the head.
"You, what are you thinking about all day?"
"Fifth Brother, remember this: as long as you follow Big Brother, the age of your Soul Rings will never be low."
"That Blue Silver Emperor can be considered our guardian."
"Our faction needs her to join us."
Chen Xin was puzzled. A guardian? Was his father not one already?
"Big Brother, my father can be our guardian too!" Chen Xin hurriedly said. His father was level ninety-eight, was he not an excellent guardian?
Xu Xiao smiled and shook his head. "Fifth Brother, your father is proud just like you, but he truly has the strength to back it up."
"It is not very likely that your father will become our guardian. I once had the same idea, but after meeting him, I gave it up. Your father clearly does not want much involvement with me."
"Letting you come here was already the greatest concession your father could make."
How could Xu Xiao not have wanted Chen Jianjun as a guardian? The other man simply was not willing. Back then, Xu Xiao had not dared expose his talent either, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
Chen Xin thought it over carefully. His father really was like that. Still, with him here, his father could not possibly stand by and watch him die. If it came down to it, he could always beg him.
"Forget it, forget it. Big Brother must have his own plans."
"Do not worry, Big Brother. I will not reveal a single word about this to my father."
Chen Xin still had some principles. Deep down, he had accepted Xu Xiao as his eldest brother. He also wanted to prove himself through his own efforts, and his eldest brother could help him do that.
He wanted to become a master of the sword. He wanted to challenge his father and show him that even without relying on him, he could become a leader on the path of the sword!
"Of course Big Brother trusts you. How has your cultivation been?" Xu Xiao asked as the four of them walked.
"Big Brother, I can use the flexible sword properly now. If the Soul Beasts on the second floor were not so powerful, I could fight them even without using Soul Power!"
Chen Xin spoke proudly. He had discovered that his use of the sword had undergone a strange change, though he could not put it into words yet.
Xu Xiao said, "No rush. The Soul Beasts on the second floor are almost all thousand-year ones. They can also raise your second Soul Ring to forty-five thousand years. You can cultivate on the first floor and raise the age of your first Soul Ring while you are at it!"
"Fifth Brother, when practicing the sword, your state of mind is important. You must never rush for quick success!"
Xu Xiao reminded him, afraid that Chen Xin would destabilize his state of mind in his haste to improve.
"Big Brother is right. Once I felt no threat on the first floor, I started getting carried away."
"Big Brother, in that case, I will go back to cultivating. Second Brother, Third Brother, Big Brother will be under your protection."
"If things go wrong, release that Soul Beast. We cannot let her freeload!"
Chen Xin's words made Xu Xiao and the other two chuckle. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Xiao sent Chen Xin into the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Gui Mei teased, "Big Brother, it seems Fifth Brother has truly given you his loyalty."
Yue Guan chuckled. "Yes, Big Brother. Although Fifth Brother is a little arrogant, once he opens his heart, he is actually quite good."
"Of course. Your Big Brother has never had poor judgment."
The three laughed, chatting happily about this and that.
Just as they finished laughing, Gui Mei's eyes suddenly narrowed. "Big Brother, someone is following us."
Xu Xiao frowned slightly. "Can you sense how strong they are?"
"If they are too strong, we will release the Blue Silver Emperor."
"When Fifth Brother entered the Spirit Ascension Platform just now, they must have seen it."
"Take them out!"
Xu Xiao was no fool. He immediately understood what had happened. He had let his guard down this time. After staying in the Blue Silver Forest for several days, he had grown lax.
If Gui Mei's senses had not been sharper, they might have suffered a disastrous defeat.
The three exchanged looks, rapidly circulating their Soul Power as they charged in the direction Gui Mei had indicated.
Anyone who had discovered their secret could not be allowed to live.
Xu Xiao had always kept the saying "an ordinary man is innocent, but possessing jade is a crime" in mind. He was not afraid of thieves stealing, only of thieves setting their sights on him.
Once it was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Damn, we have been discovered. Xiangxiang, prepare for battle!"
"We must seize that treasure!!!!"
Having been discovered, the man was not afraid. His opponents did not look very strong, so he might still be able to fight them!
Hmph, the bold starve no more than the timid. In the Star Dou Forest, running into the two of us is your misfortune!!
Wealth should not be flaunted. Since you showed it off, you cannot blame me for this!!
PS: Dear readers, you can give Tang San a new identity now. Hehehe... something like Toad Tang San...
If you have any ideas, feel free to suggest them. You can also mention them in the author's group.
