The silly junior sister is prone to erratic behavior, offering an unconventional way to revitalize t

Qi Jue said he had never seen the Third Elder so gentle in his life. Suddenly, he felt a deep sympathy for his junior sister and reluctantly stuffed the hot sesame seed cake he had just bought from the roadside into her mouth, solemnly promising, "Junior sister, I will never forget you."

"Tell me if you have any unfulfilled wishes, and I'll definitely help you achieve them!"

"?"

The aroma of the baked flatbread filled the air, and the sesame seeds were roasted to a crisp. Yunxi lowered her head in thought, but couldn't resist taking a bite. She couldn't believe a word of his feigned emotional display.

Yunxi: "(chewing) You just said (chewing) you would definitely protect me!"

"..."

Qi Jue held the same kind of sesame seed cake in his hands, puffing out his cheeks and blowing out the steam. He recalled that not long ago, in the labyrinth of the River of No Return, he saw a weak little sparrow growing in his junior sister's arms, and he did feel sorry for her, which is why he said such a thing.

It seems that up to now, the interval has not exceeded half an hour.

Qi Jue frowned and said, "(chewing) But (chewing) that's the Third Elder! (chewing)"

Thinking of the eccentric and unpredictable old man Fu Xiu, Qi Jue felt a chill run down his spine and shivered.

However, since he had promised to protect his junior sister, a man should keep his word.

Qi Jue came up with two solutions.

Either just quit, or stop being a man.

He could only try to salvage his junior sister's fragile situation by taking the initiative to ask, "Why don't you think about where you offended the Third Elder?"

Yunxi chewed as she fell into deep thought.

Aside from killing the Shadow Lotus seedlings in the spirit plant field when they entered the sect, causing Xie Mo and Su Yuanshuang to crash into the Third Elder while riding in a wheelchair, and falling from the sky into the old man's rune classroom while learning sword control, smashing a hole in the school...

Aside from that, she didn't do anything else.

How could someone as well-behaved and sensible as her have provoked the Third Elder to turn into the Old Man with the Clamp and issue a kill order against her in the martial arts world?

The group walked on, deep in thought.

Qi Jue bought a total of ten sesame cakes. Before they even left Chixiao City, he ate six and Yun hope ate four.

Su Yuanshuang and Ye Jin, who were standing nearby, couldn't get a word in edgewise.

As they walked, Yunxi suddenly said, "I don't think the problem lies with me..."

While she was thinking, they strolled around the main street of Chixiao City. Qi Jue bought a huge amount of food, buying a sense of security that was uniquely his own, and happily swung the mustard bag around, asking, "What does this mean?"

The girl took two more steps, lost in thought.

Since it wasn't her fault, then it must be...

She tapped her palm, revealing a wise and intelligent expression: "I understand."

Upon hearing this, the other three simultaneously turned to look over.

Yun hope was absolutely confident: "This Third Elder is definitely not the real person!"

In other words, he was a bad guy in disguise.

It must be like this.

"..."

All three remained silent.

Just a few seconds later, Qi Jue, the second most intelligent of them all, wore the same look of sudden realization as Yun hope: "That makes so much sense..."

Ye Jin felt that he didn't fit in with the others because he wasn't silly enough. After processing it alone for a while, he still couldn't understand the other two's thought processes, so he humbly asked, "How did you come to this conclusion?"

Suspecting some aftereffects of being persecuted in the secret realm, Qi Jue gave Yun hope a precise analysis: "The real Third Elder would never speak like that. This person must be impersonating the Third Elder and trying to harm Junior Sister."

A huge question mark appeared above Night Ember's head.

I want to refute it, but I don't know how to say it.

Qi Jue felt that their guess was correct because of the third senior brother's silence. Without saying a word, he summoned the Crossing Calamity Sword, grabbed Yun hope, and went up to the sky: "Let's go, let's go find that imposter and avenge the Third Elder."

Nightfall: "..."

The brother and sister flew away aggressively, almost as if they were acting on behalf of Heaven.

Ye Jin curled his lip and asked Su Yuanshuang, "What do you think?"

"..."

Someone who can be the senior sister is definitely more reliable than a brat. Su Yuanshuang lowered her head, reached out, and in her palm lay the token of Yunxi that had been passed to her at some point.

She exited the chat with the Third Elder and opened the Fifth Elder's message.

Compared to the Third Elder, the Fifth Elder, who was a pill cultivator, was much more normal, with only a few messages. Su Yuanshuang clicked on the first one.

The Fifth Elder's voice was filled with undisguised admiration: "[Impressive, Yunxi! You actually got the Third Elder to successfully grow the Shadow Leaf Lotus? That old man is overjoyed and said he absolutely must thank you in person and treat you like royalty!]"

The girl enrolled in multiple training programs, but currently, the only professions known to be suitable for her are sword cultivation and alchemy cultivation.

The Fifth Elder had studied Yun hope's pill-making techniques and naturally held a certain appreciation and fondness for the only pill-cultivating disciple of the Lingxiao Sect. He sincerely offered Yun Xi the following advice: "The Third Elder is wealthy; you can take advantage of him when you return."

Su Yuanshuang: "..."

Nightfall: "..."

The sound ended, and an awkward silence fell.

Ye Jin and Su Yuanshuang faced each other, each lost in thought.

The truth is that simple and uninteresting: the reason the Third Elder suddenly became a trap was simply because he had successfully kept a spiritual plant alive for the first time in his long life...

Yunxi and Qijue seemed to believe that the old man had been kidnapped and impersonated, and they were already sharpening their knives in the sky, transforming into murderous meteors and rushing towards Lingxiao Sect.

Just as they realized what had happened, people from the Wind and Thunder Sect happened to pass by.

Ye Jin glanced around and saw a Song Hemian.

Someone had just bought a dozen or so Xuan Swords from the weapon shop to replenish his storage bag when he happened to pass by. Seeing Ye Jin and Su Yuanshuang standing there like two weathered stone sculptures, he tilted his head with interest and raised his hand to greet them.

Before he could even speak, an overly familiar wave of heat rushed towards him.

Ye Jin stole the sword he had just bought, and, along with Su Yuanshuang, transformed into a new shooting star, heading into the crematorium where they chased their junior brothers and sisters...

Song Heming stood there, stunned.

Once the shooting star disappeared from sight, he stiffly lowered his head, noticed his empty waist, and silently took out another Xuan sword from his storage bag and hung it up.

There wasn't even a single complaint; their practiced movements were so skillful it was almost heartbreaking.

……

To prevent his junior brothers and sisters from actually ending up in the crematorium, Ye Jin had exhausted all his strength, compressing what was supposed to be a day and a night's journey into just a few hours.

But he really couldn't catch up.

It wasn't that I was too tired from the fight to chase after those two brats.

There are two main reasons why Nightfall couldn't catch up.

Firstly, Qi Jue was using his natal divine sword, while he was using an ordinary Xuan sword, so it's no wonder that the sword Song Heming bought was of poor quality.

Secondly...

To avoid fainting at the sight of blood on the battlefield, Qi Jue took five small pills specially made by Yun Xi that had a stimulating effect. Some of the pills were used up during the fight, and a small portion of the effects were suppressed by Qi Jue and were not used.

The boy had taken several small pills under Cheng Jiangui's tutelage and was now quite adept at controlling their effects. Once he stepped onto the sword, he was like a rocket taking off from dry land, disappearing without a trace in a flash.

then……

The next day, before dawn.

The Third Elder had just emerged from his cave, stretched, and prepared to welcome a brand new and wonderful day.

The old man rubbed his eyes, and a light appeared in his vision, coming from afar, growing larger and brighter...

The Third Elder opened his eyes wide, easily recognizing the newcomer with his superior cultivation. He dropped all his guard and revealed a bright, sunny smile: "It's Yunxi back..."

Unexpectedly, the first thing the girl did after returning from the secret realm was to come to him. The Third Elder was somewhat moved and raised his hand, calling out affectionately in the same voice as the one in the token: "Yun Xixi, come back..."

Before he could finish speaking, the meteor struck him squarely in the face.

Qi Jue said that he had just been persecuted by Shen Qingqing and did not want his junior sister to be hurt by bad people again. Because he had been caught in the rain, he wanted to be his junior sister's umbrella.

The boy, equally determined, unleashed his full power against the person who was about to harm his junior sister. He had already gathered his lightning spiritual energy during his descent, and a bolt of lightning accompanied a meteor: "You dare bully my junior sister!"

"boom"

"Snap"

"..."

The loud noise startled the entire Lingxiao Sect.

Cheng Jiangui's cave was on the opposite mountain. Sensing a strong wind, he rushed out with his sword: "Is there an enemy attack?"

What was in front of us had turned from a mountain into a dilapidated wasteland.

Cheng Jiangui was stunned for a moment, his gaze fixed on the Third Elder.

The old man inexplicably transformed into a shooting star, flying while saying the last word of his greeting in a shrill voice: "La la la la la la..."

"?"

Cheng Jiangui watched the Third Elder rise from the ground to the sky and disappear with the wind, silently swallowing hard.

The dilapidated pile of stones in front of them suddenly moved, as if something dangerous was about to crawl out from it.

No matter what, the Third Elder was a talisman cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Cheng Jiangui felt that an ordinary assassin could not possibly turn him into a shooting star. The one about to appear in front of him must be a terrifying top-tier assassin.

But the scent of the top assassin is all too familiar, like that of some weak children.

The young man smelled the aroma and felt a kind of internal struggle between his brain and cerebral column.

until……

Two heads popped out of the pile of stones, one after the other.

The two of them carried a sense of accomplishment, as if they had just defeated the big bad guy and protected the world.

Yunxi waved excitedly at Cheng Jiangui: "Master, we're back!"

Cheng Jiangui: "..."

At the same time, Ye Jin and Su Yuanshuang flew to the sect gate.

A sense of danger approached, and Nightfall instinctively turned his body away.

The Third Elder of the Meteor Sect brushed past them, chanting, "La la la la la la..."

Nightfall: "..."

The boy glanced at the dilapidated hilltop over there.

He was still too weak. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up with the speed at which his junior brothers and sisters were courting death. Feeling inferior, Ye Jin stopped in the sky.

He wiped his head expressionlessly and asked Su Yuanshuang, "So..."

Nightfall: "Why don't we just go home?"

Su Yuanshuang: "..."

……

During the day, several outer disciples were summoned to clean and repair the mountain.

Two mischievous kids who had just returned from the secret realm were thrown into the Cliff of Contemplation by Cheng Jiangui.

Looking at the resurrected, bristling Third Elder, and the two young talents forced into seclusion, Cheng Jiangui felt both amused and annoyed: "What were you thinking? How could the Third Elder possibly be an imposter?"

Just then, an internal disciple who happened to be passing by delivered the package sent by Su Yuanshuang, which included Yunxi's token.

Yunxi was also innocent. To prove her innocence, she randomly picked a relatively long audio clip, opened it, stuffed the token into Cheng Jiangui's hand, and covered her ears.

"?" Cheng Jiangui asked, puzzled.

Just as he was about to ask a few questions, the Third Elder's concerned voice came through the token: "Yun Xixi, are you afraid in the secret realm? Do you want me to protect you?"

Hehehe, don't be shy...

"Holy crap..." Cheng Jiangui instantly threw the token away.

"What is this thing?"

The young man wore the same horrified expression as the others, who were hearing the voice message for the first time, and couldn't help but gag twice.

During this time, Cheng Jiangui stayed at the Lingxiao Sect.

The Third Elder, having successfully raised a Shadow Leaf Lotus, practically perked up his nose, strutting around like a peacock.

He was even distracted when Xie Mo asked him questions.

Xie Mo: "Third Elder, I still can't comprehend this talisman..."

The Third Elder nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it survived, and it's even a red one."

Shemer: "???"

Recalling the old man's strange behavior lately, Cheng Jiangui looked at his two apprentices, who had just gotten into big trouble, with sympathy and sighed, "It's not entirely your fault."

A question mark appeared above the Third Elder's agitated head.

Because Cheng Jiangui had opened the voice message bar, the old man also heard his own gentle and kind greeting. Although he was unwilling to admit it, his stomach was churning.

The Third Elder kicked Cheng Jiangui out, then turned his back and looked up at the sky guiltily. As the victim, he displayed an attitude of being both righteous and self-righteous: "Put him in solitary confinement for two months."

Confined to the Cliff of Repentance for two months is considered a lenient punishment.

After all, as a regular guest here, Nightfall always stays for at least half a year each time.

It can be said that it benefited from the popularity of the Red Shadow Leaf Lotus.

The Third Elder thought he was incredibly awesome, ridiculously awesome.

Even the most skilled plant master in the Medicine King Sect has never grown a red plant.

Although only one precious plant survived from five flowerpots, the Third Elder still had to look at Yun hope with new respect and asked, "Do you have any more effective spirit plant soil? I'll offer a high price."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Or do you have a way to grow purple shadow-leaved lotus?"

During this period, not only the Third Elder was planting, but Yunxi also tried, but there were no results yet.

The success of growing Echeveria elegans depends 30% on cultivation and 70% on fate.

However, she didn't discourage the old man, simply replying, "I'll do my best."

"By the way, I showed the Shadow Leaf Lotus to the Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect. He asked me where I got the spiritual plant soil because he wants to buy it."

The Third Elder only showed off himself, not Yun hope, thus naturally concealing these matters for her. He simply said, "If you want to sell, you can."

Spiritual plant soil...

Yunxi still had a small mountain of spirit plants in her bag, but she needed to use it herself. Moreover, the snake blood vine had changed a lot after absorbing Yan Yu's spiritual power. Yunxi didn't know if she could still make spirit soil suitable for the growth of spirit plants. After thinking for a moment, she rejected the Third Elder's suggestion.

The old man didn't ask any further questions, smoothed his hair, and turned to leave.

Seemingly remembering something, he said hesitantly, "If you have any questions about talismans, you can ask me."

Let alone sects, the number of people on this entire continent who can consult the Third Elder is less than one hand's worth.

He was arrogant and had only ever taught Xie Mo wholeheartedly in his life. Seeing that Yun hope had once applied to become a talisman cultivator in the sect's disciple information, he allowed her to ask questions, which was already a great kindness towards Yun Xi.

After saying that, the Third Elder started taking small, quick steps and left without looking back.

Once the adults left, the two children immediately started to slack off.

Qi Jue felt that there seemed to be some residual medicinal effects in his body.

After thinking for a moment, the boy took the initiative to run to the small grove of trees by the sea below the Cliff of Contemplation.

Yunxi closed her eyes slightly.

Consciousness entered the sea of ​​consciousness, into the newly built space of the divine beast, which was half fire and half water.
