How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Uh……"

Hong Li was taken aback and fell into thought.

"Elder Huo... hair dye? Do I seem to have forgotten something..."

"..."

Hei Yang, who was lying there like a corpse, twitched his brow, raised his hand, clenched his fist, and a large fist formed from spiritual energy quietly appeared behind Hong Li's head, and then...

"boom!"

"..."

"Huh? Sister Hongli, Sister Hongli?"

Xingyun felt she vaguely heard a scream, which sounded a lot like Sister Hongli's voice. Startled, she quickly turned her head to look at the screen.

All she could see was a white sky, but the scene quickly returned to normal, and Hong Li, with stars in her eyes, reappeared.

"Huh? What?"

Hongli tilted her head, then quickly realized.

"Oh, sorry Xiaoyun, I was daydreaming just now, hahaha. Actually, I came to ask you for help."

"what?"

Even someone as remarkable as Xingyun was momentarily taken aback by the abrupt shift in the topic, and she blankly pointed at Hongli's head.

"Hong, Senior Sister Hongli, you have a big bump on your head, no, it's a big bump with a big bump on top of it!"

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing serious. I don't know when it happened, but I think it must be Hei Yang who did it."

Hong Li waved her hand dismissively, pressed down on the large bump on her head, gasped, and then smiled.

"Alright, that's all, now we can get down to business!"

"Uh, Sister Hongli, please speak!"

"Well, it's like this..."

Hongli looked at Xingyun, whose eyes were red in the video, and nodded, saying, "Didn't I make myself clear?"

"Mmm! Sister Hongli..."

Xingyun wiped away her tears, her face filled with sorrow.

"That little sloth was so pitiful. It died out there without parents and no one even buried it, sob sob sob..."

Hongli: "..."

However, can't we speak more politely? Is it not polite enough to be like Hong Li?

"Leave this to me!"

Xingyun, with an air of righteous indignation, said firmly, "As long as it's something I, Xingyun, can do, I will never shirk my responsibility!"

"okay!"

Hongli nodded with relief: "Then Xiaoyun, go and ask Elder Huo where he ran off to?"

"Oh? Grandpa Fire has retired!"

Xingyun scratched her head: "They're probably playing in the city right now, aren't they?"

Hongli: "???"

Is that true?!

Hmm, memories, memories are about to burst forth again...

"boom!"

"..."

"Ahaha, sorry, sorry..."

Hongli apologized sheepishly, "I was daydreaming again. Let's continue, let's continue!"

Xingyun: "..."

Although I don't know what happened, my dad once said that when you encounter a confusing topic, just laugh it off and ignore it, and you'll be able to break out of the cycle!

"Well, if we're talking about elders, Elder Jinxiu should be fine too, right?"

Xingyun held the communication spirit stone in her hand and infused it with spiritual power to sense it.

"Let me make a call to Elder Jin for you..."

"Ah?"

Hongli looked puzzled: "You'll help me fight? How will you help me?"

"Like this!"

As soon as Xingyun finished speaking, Hongli looked bewildered as the screen in front of her suddenly split in two. One side still showed Xingyun, while the other displayed the message "Inviting [Note: Elder Jin] to join the conversation."

Hongli: "???"

"Wait, you can play it like this?"

Hongli pointed at herself with a shocked expression.

"Why can't I have this? Are you targeting me?"

"This is the newly updated version."

Xingyun said with a grin, "This is my reward for being the number one disciple in my class in the Fire Department. It's a pity that Sister Hongli isn't here, otherwise the elder would definitely have given you a new version of the communication spirit stone!"

Hongli: "..."

"Tch, what's the big deal? It's just a..."

Hong Li turned her head away, muttering under her breath with a displeased expression. She, Hong Li, was indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not compete or fight for anything. How could she be jealous? She was not jealous at all!

Kim Soo's communication went through quickly. She was sitting by the brightly lit window, leisurely sipping hot tea. She turned to look at the communication, paused for a moment, and then revealed... well, a kind smile!

"Xiaoyun, and Xiaoli, it's you two. What's up? Is there something you need from your older sister?"

"Ah?"

Hongli tilted her head, looking at Elder Jinxiu in the image with a surprised expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you Elder Jinxiu?"

"Ah?"

Kim Soo pointed to himself, looking surprised.

"Doesn't it look like me? Aren't I Kim Soo?"

"Uh……"

Hong Li's expression was complicated. Why did it feel like Elder Jin Xiu had suddenly aged?

She looked up, recalling the scene when Elder Jinxiu had argued with her and roared, "You're all ganging up on me!" The elder was so lively and energetic, looking even younger than her.

Now, Hong Li frowned, as if she saw the shadow of fire in Elder Jin Xiu.

Just as she thought of a certain elder, Hongli felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her head and instinctively skipped over that taboo name.

Hongli couldn't help but scratch her head, and said awkwardly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Elder Jinxiu, you suddenly have the aura of a wise and enlightened master!"

"Ah, you said this..."

Jin Xiu smiled and sighed, "Back then, I had my senior brothers and sisters backing me up, so I seemed a bit immature and prone to causing trouble."

Now that my senior brothers and sisters are not at the sect gate, and my eldest brother is still locked up in the sky handling sect affairs, I am the only one in the Nascent Soul stage still active in the sect, so of course I have to be more composed!

Hmm, maybe that's what inheritance is! People always have to say goodbye to their naive past selves!

"Ah this..."

Hong Li's lips twitched. She was still more used to the unrestrained Elder Jin Xiu. As for now...

"It feels like I only left for a short time, and then I've been transported to a completely different world..."

Hongli suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if she were a remnant of the old era, and tears welled up in her eyes before she could speak.

"Sister Hongli, Sister Hongli!"

Xingyun whispered a reminder: "Stop reminiscing, let's talk about the little sloth!"

"Oh, right, right!"

Hongli realized what was happening and, not minding the trouble, whispered the same thing to Elder Jinxiu again.

"That's how it is. We two kids are at our wits' end, so we're asking the elders if they have any ideas..."

"What elder? Call me sister!"

Kim Soo subconsciously rolled his eyes, but then realized he was playing the role of an elder and immediately put on a kind expression.

"Kind Elders: From Beginner to Being Driven Mad" — Huo Le

"Cough cough!"

Jin Xiu coughed twice and asked seriously, "Xiao Li, is this laziness you mentioned from the same place as the accident we had before?"

"Uh-huh!"
