A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Xia Jiuyou's red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She actually didn't agree with Lin Xiu going either.

However, the possibility that Gai Jiuyou might survive was far too tempting for her.

So now she didn't know what to do, and could only look at Gai Jiuyou with teary eyes.

......

As Gai Jiuyou agreed, Xia Jiuyou remained silent, and Wei Yi sighed, a graceful figure stepped out and faced Lin Xiu directly.

"Senior brother, may I ask you a few last questions?"

"Well, Weiwei, just say it directly. Is there anything between us that we can't say?" Lin Xiu smiled brightly, meeting Weiwei's slightly helpless yet expectant gaze.

"Okay, then I'll ask."

"The first question is, in over two hundred years, what level do you think you can cultivate to?"

Lin Xiu pondered for a few seconds.

"Well, my talent for cultivation isn't particularly high. In over two hundred years, I should be able to cultivate to somewhere between a low-level Quasi-Emperor and a high-level Quasi-Emperor."

What Lin Xiu said was true.

The reason he was able to advance his cultivation level at a speed that ordinary people couldn't comprehend was entirely because he possessed a system.

Of course, to others, Lin Xiu was completely in Versailles.

Xia Jiuyou rolled her eyes at Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu advanced from the fifth stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm to the Immortal Platform Realm in just over a month. If this is considered low talent, then what are she and the other geniuses?

Lin Xiu didn't offer any further explanation, simply smiling at Xia Jiuyou. Xia Jiuyou, taken aback by Lin Xiu's smile, turned her face away again, as if she didn't want to acknowledge him, as if he were acting like he was in Versailles.

Weiwei glanced at Xia Jiuyou with some concern and continued:

"Regarding the second question, my senior brother once said that if you dedicate yourself to cultivation and to resolving the Dark Turmoil, there is at least a 90% chance that you can resolve it perfectly."

"Then... at the very least?"

Vivi asked about what she cared about most.

After asking the question, Weiwei stared at Lin Xiu, as if trying to discern whether he was lying about what he was about to say.

Lin Xiu felt a little uneasy under Weiwei's gaze and gave an awkward smile:

"At the very least... 20% to 30%?"

As soon as Lin Xiu said this, Weiwei immediately turned to look at Gai Jiuyou.

"No, I don't agree."

"Elder Gai, why don't you seal your senior brother into the Divine Source?"

A 20-30% chance? Are you kidding me?! Weiwei would never let Lin Xiu take such a gamble.

Gai Jiuyou also frowned.

Indeed, a probability of 20% to 30% is rather low.

.......

Seeing that Gai Jiuyou seemed to really intend to make a move, Lin Xiu became somewhat anxious.

"Wait, let me finish!"

"The 20% to 30% chance is the situation where everything can be done perfectly, not my own chance of survival."

"My chances of survival are still very high, at least 80%! Up to 100%!"

"......"

"Damn it! Why couldn't you have said this sooner?!"

Xia Jiuyou couldn't help but spit it out.

When she heard that it was 20% or 30%, she almost burst into tears.

As expected, Lin Xiu is a scumbag who likes to deceive female cultivators!

"You'er, how can you speak to your senior brother like that?" Gai Jiuyou frowned and reminded her. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now it seemed that Xia Jiuyou was indeed being a bit arrogant.

Xia Jiuyou's face stiffened.

However... since Gai Jiuyou had already spoken, what could she say? She could only pout and immediately apologize to Lin Xiu.

"Senior brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you a bastard."

Xia Jiuyou genuinely felt she was wrong. Calling someone a bastard was enough in her mind; uttering it aloud was definitely wrong.

"Mmm, good girl, junior sister~~~"

"However, if you do something wrong, you should be punished."

"Come here, let your senior brother pat your head~ Consider it a way of showing affection and punishing your junior sister at the same time!"

Lin Xiu looked at the white-clad girl in front of him, who resembled Hajime, and reached out to roughly rub her head.

He really enjoys taming arrogant girls like Xia Jiuyou.

That expression—clearly unwilling but still obediently having one's head patted—is simply irresistible.

"Um...uh..."

Using the skills he honed on Xiao Nannan's head, Lin Xiu quickly made a mess of Xia Jiuyou's hair.

Although Xia Jiuyou kept groaning, he had no choice but to obediently accept Lin Xiu's head pat.

"Hmm! Not bad, not bad!"

"You've admitted your mistake and corrected it. Your senior brother forgives you!"

Lin Xiu had his fill of kneading before letting Xia Jiuyou go, allowing her to escape from his grasp.

Xia Jiuyou glanced at Gai Jiuyou first, then at Lin Xiu, and replied softly:

"Thank you so much for your forgiveness, senior brother."

"You're welcome."

"Your senior brother's head-patting skills are well-practiced, don't you agree, little girl?" Lin Xiu smiled and looked at the little girl beside him with an envious look in her eyes.

"Yes! Brother Lin Xiu's hands are so big! And so warm!"

The little girl drew circles in the air with both hands, looking very excited.

She was Lin Xiu's biggest supporter; whatever Lin Xiu said, she thought made sense!

"Mmm, sweetie!"

Lin Xiu thought the little girl was the cutest little sister in the world, and immediately reached out his hand towards her.

The little girl understood perfectly and skillfully placed her big head under Lin Xiu's hand, revealing a relieved smile.

Gai Jiuyou: "......."

Gai Jiuyou suddenly felt a sense of disillusionment and quickly turned his head away, pretending that he hadn't seen anything.

Xia Jiuyou: "......."

Xia Jiuyou also felt somewhat dissatisfied.

He touched her head and then went to touch the little girl's head. Lin Xiu is indeed a scumbag!

As Lin Xiu stroked the little girl's head, he suddenly remembered a serious question.

[Hiss~ If I include Xia Jiuyou, doesn't that mean I have two junior sisters with different attributes?]

One is arrogant and aloof, the other gentle and kind. Aren't junior sisters in fantasy or xianxia worlds usually these two types?

[Sigh~ It's a pity there aren't any senior sisters or female masters, otherwise it would be a standard feature in some cultivation worlds.]

......

Weiwei was already used to the close interactions between Lin Xiu and Xiao Nannan, and chuckled as she shook her head, reminding him:

"Senior brother, I have a third question for you."

"Oh? What's the problem? Just tell me."

Lin Xiu replied while stroking the little girl's head. In his opinion, Weiwei should be completely relieved after he said that his survival rate was high.

"Senior Brother Lin."

Can you promise me... that you will definitely come back alive?

Vivi's last question couldn't really be considered a question.

She just wanted Lin Xiu to give her a promise.

Because in her view, Lin Xiu would do everything in his power to fulfill any promise he made.

Lin Xiu understood what Weiwei meant and smiled helplessly.

"Okay, I promise I will come back alive. Now you can rest assured, Weiwei?"

Weiwei gently shook her head, a genuine smile of relief appearing on her face, which was surrounded by celestial energy.

"Yes, senior brother."

"Weiwei is relieved."

"While my senior brother is diligently cultivating, I will definitely protect Tianxuan."

Lin Xiu's promise reassured Weiwei more than anything else.
