Junior Brother, Let Me Out!

"What does it matter if Master doesn't agree? He's not going to come and arrest me personally. After all, I'm still a traitor to the Azure Cloud Sect!" Shi Zhenghao said shamelessly.

Yi Xuan shook his head. "Hehe, then you'll be disappointed. Master is no longer the sect leader of Qingyun Sect. He passed the position to Senior Brother Cui Yan a few months ago!"

Upon hearing Yi Xuan's words, Shi Zhenghao was taken aback.

He asked in disbelief, "How is this possible? Our master is in his prime, how could he possibly pass on the position of sect leader to someone else? And Cui Yan, from the lineage of the Enforcement Elders?"

After saying that, Shi Zhenghao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stepped forward to grab Yi Xuan's hands, asking urgently, "Junior brother, I heard last month that the Gazing Immortal Sect came to provoke the sect, but they retreated for some reason. Could it be that Master was injured that time?"

Seeing his senior brother's concern for their master, Yi Xuan didn't say anything, but he nodded inwardly.

"Don't worry, Master is not only fine, but his strength has greatly increased, and he has broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Hearing Yi Xuan's words, Shi Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief and understood why his master had passed the position of sect leader to someone else.

Upon seeing Shi Zhenghao Yi Xuan reverted to his previous carefree demeanor and continued, "The first thing Senior Brother Cui did after becoming the sect leader was to have the charge of betraying the sect dropped, and he declared that as long as you are willing to return, the sect's doors will always be open for you!"

Shi Zhenghao looked at Yi Xuan in disbelief. "The people from his lineage as law enforcement elders are really this magnanimous? You know, they were the ones who set this trap for me back then!"

"So you still walked right into a trap even though you knew it was one?" Yi Xuan glanced at Shi Zhenghao with annoyance and said sarcastically.

"Hehe, it's all because Elder Wang's wife is just too tempting, Junior Brother. Let me tell you, even though your Senior Brother is known for his womanizing ways, Elder Wang's wife is truly a first-rate beauty!"

Yi Xuan was speechless looking at this guy; this guy was a blatant traitor to Cao Cao.

Although Yi Xuan didn't know what her future partner would be like, she secretly became more wary of her senior brother.

"Alright!" Yi Xuan steered the conversation back to the main point. "Junior brother, let me be frank with you. Getting you to settle down is a task Master gave me. If I don't do it well, not only will Master be dissatisfied with me, but it might even lead to Master personally arresting you. He won't be as easy to talk to as I am!"

After hearing Yi Xuan's words, Shi Zhenghao knew that he couldn't escape this time.

After stealing a glance at Yi Xuan, who had raised his wine glass, Shi Zhenghao's eyes lit up with a plan.

"Junior brother! When Master assigned you this task, he didn't mention a specific time, did he?"

Yi Xuan put down his wine glass and shook his head.

"How about this? Let your senior brother have another year of fun. He'll definitely come back with you after a year!"

After hearing Shi Zhenghao's words, Yi Xuan looked at him speechlessly.

"Are you and I selling potatoes here? Do you expect me to haggle over the price?"

As soon as Yi Xuan finished speaking, he looked Shi Zhenghao up and down again.

He knew in his heart that although this senior brother's strength was at the Peak Grain Avoidance, it would not be difficult for Yi Xuan to take him down with the technological means at his disposal.

The real challenge is getting him to truly settle down; otherwise, even if you manage to keep him around, it will be meaningless.

As long as his heart isn't in cultivation, he'll just be inconsistent in his efforts.

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan said, "How about this, Senior Brother, let's have a contest. If you win, I'll put in a good word for you with Master and let you roam the mortal world for another two years. But if I'm lucky enough to win, then you have to listen to me and obediently go into seclusion until you achieve the Golden Core! What do you say?"

Although Shi Zhenghao was much stronger than Yi Xuan, he wasn't stupid. According to Yi Xuan, it was indeed a good choice. However, Shi Zhenghao still sensed a sinister aura from the smile on Yi Xuan's face.

Tell me first, what are we competing in?

Shi Zhenghao still felt it was safer to first understand the competition details.

Yi Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior brother. You know how strong your junior brother is. I deliberately let you win this round. You're guaranteed to win. When you're out having fun again, don't forget how good your junior brother was to you!"

How about we compare speed?

Upon hearing Yi Xuan's suggestion, Shi Zhenghao's eyes lit up. He still vividly remembered the scene from more than half a year ago when he was testing the Barrett and flying through the air with Yi Xuan.

Although he didn't know why Yi Xuan wanted to compete in speed, Shi Zhenghao quickly nodded in agreement, fearing that Yi Xuan might change his mind, given the certainty of victory.

Seeing that his senior brother had agreed, Yi Xuan was secretly delighted, but his face still showed the same smile as before.

Shi Zhenghao pulled Yi Xuan up and they flew away from the courtyard.

After flying for a short while, the two landed on the top of a barren mountain.

Shi Zhenghao was calm and collected, while Yi Xuan on the other side was in a much worse state, looking disheveled with snot and tears streaming down his face from the wind.

Seeing Yi Xuan's expression, Shi Zhenghao chuckled and said, "Junior brother, how about we consider what we just did as a duel?"

Yi Xuan finally recovered, and seeing his senior brother's smug look, he sneered, "Just hope you don't burst into tears later!"

As soon as Yi Xuan finished speaking, a shadow fell over their heads.

Sensing something was wrong, Shi Zhenghao quickly looked up and saw a giant bird-shaped object hovering in the sky above them.

This giant bird was none other than Yi Xuan's Firmament.

"See that?" Yi Xuan pointed at the Firmament above and said to Shi Zhenghao with a sneer, "That thing on top is Law Treasure I recently created! If you can outrun it, I'll immediately return and welcome you back in two years!"

Although Shi Zhenghao didn't know what the giant bird above was, he could tell from the power of the Barrett that his junior brother was no ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhenghao couldn't help but feel uneasy, and his confidence plummeted.

But having already agreed, Shi Zhenghao couldn't go back on his word.

Shi Zhenghao channeled his True Essence, and with a 'whoosh,' he left his spot and flew towards the horizon.

Yi Xuan nodded at the Firmament.

The Pangu No. 08 robot, operating inside the Firmament, immediately piloted the aircraft and chased after Shi Zhenghao.

An hour later, in the valley above No. 2 Base, Shi Zhenghao was placed in a cave.

Even though there were no restrictions on the cave, Shi Zhenghao still didn't dare to come out.

Because there were two people standing at the entrance of the cave at that moment.

"Junior brother, I beg you! Let me out!"

Yi Xuan smiled and said, "Senior brother, I have no intention of imprisoning you! As long as you can break through his guard, you can leave at any time!"

After speaking, Yi Xuan pointed to Zhuo Ning beside him.
