Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

At last.

The two people and the snake successfully reached an agreement; all that remained was to discuss the details of tonight's operation.

Bai Xiaobai was not familiar with the situation within the sect, so Qin Yuan was responsible for determining the route.

"The sect leader's herb garden is located on the back peak of Lingxiao Peak. Because no disciple has ever dared to set their sights on the sect leader's herb garden, there are no other people there besides an elder in charge of managing it. As long as we avoid the magic array of Lingxiao Peak and the patrol team of the main peak, there shouldn't be any major problems with the herb garden."

Yuanbao found it strange that his third senior brother seemed so familiar with Lingxiao Peak.

It seems that apart from their eldest disciple, the other disciples of Xiaoyao Peak have not visited Lingxiao Peak many times, let alone the sect leader's herb garden.

However, he was only puzzled, and then asked again.

"But the main peak is also guarded by the sect's guardian spirit beast, the Black Tiger. It is said that it has a very keen sense of smell. How can we avoid it? If it discovers us, it might alert the mountain patrol team."

Speaking of the sect's guardian spirit beast, the Black Tiger, Qin Yuan inexplicably felt a pain in his buttocks.

In fact, he had considered taking over the sect leader's medicine garden before.

When he was trying to break through to the Golden Core stage, in order to be on the safe side, he learned that there was a spiritual herb in the sect leader's herb garden that could help him advance to the Golden Core stage, so he decided to borrow it.

Because I had made a lot of preparations before going, the journey to Lingxiao Peak went relatively smoothly.

But just as he was about to return the way he came after succeeding, he encountered Xuanhu, who was following his scent.

That guy kept chasing him relentlessly, cornering him on the back peak for two hours. If he hadn't brought a pill that could silence spirit beasts, he would have alerted the others on Lingxiao Peak long ago.

Fortunately, he was skilled at controlling a sword and finally seized the opportunity to summon his sword. However, just as he jumped onto the sword and prepared to make a quick getaway, he was grabbed by the tiger's huge claws on his buttocks.

Although he narrowly escaped, the wound on his buttocks took a full month to heal.

Now, just mentioning Xuanhu makes his butt hurt.

The man and the snake stared at Qin Yuan, who suddenly seemed to be gritting his teeth, somewhat bewildered.

"Does Senior Brother have a grudge against Xuanhu?"

Yuanbao reacted quickly at this moment.

Bai Xiaobai: No wonder he's so familiar with Lingxiao Peak. I only mentioned spiritual herbs and medicines briefly, and this third senior brother brought up the sect leader's medicine garden. He must have been there beforehand.

But that makes things much easier. With him leading the way, the chances of succeeding tonight are multiplied.

Of course, besides the spiritual herbs and medicines, she also wanted to "pay a visit" to the sect leader, that old man, tonight.

She output it again.

"Do you know where the sect leader lives? Also, we'll split into two groups. I'll lure the Black Tiger away, and you'll be responsible for finding spiritual herbs and medicines in the herb garden."

Putting aside how a small snake like her could deal with the Black Tiger, let's just talk about why she asked about the sect leader's residence.

Could it be that she wants to visit the sect leader's Lingxiao Palace?

Or is it that besides the spiritual herbs and medicines, she also has her eyes on the sect leader's other treasures?

That's incredibly audacious!

The sect leader is a powerful expert in the late Nascent Soul stage. If he finds out, wouldn't we be doomed?

Qin Yuan thought he was bold enough, but he didn't expect the new junior sister to be even more audacious.

Yuanbao also disagreed with Bai Xiaobai's suggestion to lure Xuanhu away.

"Junior Sister, the Xuanhu is the sect's guardian spirit beast, and its strength is roughly equivalent to the early Nascent Soul stage. It would be too dangerous for you to lure it away."

Bai Xiaobai naturally knew this, but besides being able to express her thoughts in written form, she also had a hidden skill.

That means you can communicate with spirit beasts.

This skill was originally only possessed by powerful members of the Spirit Race, but she unlocked it not long after she transmigrated here.

However, Snake Father and Snake Mother forbade her from using this skill in front of others until she possessed absolute power. To this day, only Snake Father, Snake Mother, and Snake Mother herself know this secret.

Therefore, she had her own way of dealing with Xuanhu.

Despite Yuanbao's concerns, she continued to output.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Yuanbao, I have no aura on me, so the Xuanhu won't be able to detect me. As for how to lure it away, just trust your junior sister."

Yuanbao still felt it was a bit risky and was about to speak when Qin Yuan interrupted him.

"Junior brother, we must trust our junior sister. Although she cannot take human form, she has cultivated for a hundred years and will not risk her life."

"As for the sect leader's residence, it is in the Lingxiao Palace on the main peak. But I must remind you, junior sister, the sect leader is a late-stage Nascent Soul expert, so you'd better be careful."

Although Qin Yuan didn't know what she was going to do, he had a feeling that this junior sister was probably going to do something unexpected.

Although he had a feeling of being on a sinking ship, he also had a strong intuition.

That's the junior sister; she gives him the feeling that things can work out tonight.

Moreover, after visiting the sect leader's medicine garden last time, he was dazzled by the rare and precious herbs inside, and he has been secretly thinking about them ever since.

And that stinky tiger, he still remembers the grudge from that claw attack.

Even if we can't beat it, we have to make it suffer a bit.

As for the dangers of this trip, well, there are definitely some.

But tonight's patrol team seems to be the disciples and elders of the Hall of Affairs, and it just so happens that it's the turn of the eldest brother, the steward of the Hall of Affairs.

If there is real danger, you can ask your senior brother for help as a last resort.

For the sake of his fellow disciples, I imagine the eldest brother wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.

Therefore, tonight's action is worth the risk.

......

late at night.

Lingxiao Peak.

Under the cover of night, two stealthy figures silently arrived at the location of the sect's guardian spirit beast, the Black Tiger.

Staring at the Xuanhu, a spirit beast larger than three times its own size, with its eyes closed in meditation, Yuanbao unconsciously swallowed.

He raised his wrist and looked at the white white thing wrapped around his wrist.

He lowered his voice and asked her uncertainly, "Junior Sister, are you really going to leave you here alone?"

Bai Xiaobai nodded in agreement.

"You mean we'll meet here after we succeed?"

Bai Xiaobai continued to nod.

"But is it really possible? Even though we've concealed our aura, it might not be able to escape Xuanhu's nose. Maybe we should just forget about it and wait until next month..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the black tiger, who had been resting with its eyes closed, open its eyes.

They didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Xuanhu raised its head and sniffed the air with some confusion.

It seemed to sense some unfamiliar presence, as well as a familiar one.

Seeing that Xuanhu had already gotten up, Bai Xiaobai didn't waste any time. She gently pressed the snake's head against Yuanbao's palm and then slid it off his wrist.

Its figure quickly slid towards the direction of the Black Tiger.

Even Qin Yuan was startled by this scene, his heart racing.

But since things had come to this point, they had no choice but to proceed according to their original plan.
