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

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang did not doubt the truthfulness of Lin Xiu's statement because... Lin Xiu had no reason to deceive her by "self-degrading" himself!

But... why is he telling me all this? What reason does he have to reveal his identity?

Yao Xi blinked her beautiful eyes a few times and looked at Lin Xiu with some confusion, just as their eyes met in mid-air.

"Fairy Yao Xi must be very confused, right? You think I don't need to tell you the truth in such a self-destructive way," Lin Xiu said with a smile, sensing Yao Xi's confusion.

"Yes, that's right."

Yao Xi has already completed the initial psychological preparation... Her intention to visit Lin Xiu is obvious to all, and if she doesn't get out of here, someone will soon come to investigate.

If that's the case, Lin Xiu couldn't possibly harm her on the spot.

......

A few seconds later, Yao Xi decided to take the same approach as Lin Xiu and get straight to the point.

After bowing respectfully, Yao Xi revealed a smile that she believed best showcased her charm.

"Brother Lin Dao."

"Regarding the matter of the ruthless person's successor, my understanding may be slightly different from the facts. I hope that the Immortal Venerable will not hesitate to enlighten me and clear up my doubts."

"........."

Lin Xiu put down his teacup, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Hahaha! Fairy Yao Xi, you are indeed a smart person. I like talking to smart people."

"The reason is actually very simple. Although I have borrowed some of the teachings of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, I have never devoured the essence of any cultivator."

"If that's the case... then why should I fear being hunted down?"

"what?"

Yao Xi frowned slightly, clearly not quite believing what Lin Xiu said.

If the Devouring Heaven Demon Art doesn't devour the essence of others, then what kind of Devouring Heaven Demon Art is it?

"Seeing is believing."

Lin Xiu smiled slightly. At the same time, golden light shone brightly from his Sea of ​​Wheels, and a powerful aura of the Holy Body's origin instantly burst out of his body!

boom!

The golden primordial energy surged like a vast ocean, so pure that it contained not a trace of impurity! It was like a great sun hanging in the center of the pavilion! Every ray of light carried the supreme Daoist charm unique to the Holy Body!

Yao Xi's pupils contracted instantly.

She could clearly sense that this golden source was not only incredibly pure, but also far stronger than ordinary! It was simply unlike what a cultivator of the first level of immortality should possess!

"Do you believe me now?"

Lin Xiu smiled and shook his head, then suppressed his aura once more.

Yao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly remembered something and asked again:

"Brother Lin, why are you telling me all this?"

"Could it be... that you intend to use me to contact the original lineage within the Yao Guang Holy Land, thereby expelling the Ruthless lineage from Yao Guang?"

.......

"Well, that's one of my goals, isn't it?" Lin Xiu nodded.

"Oh? One of them??"

"Then, will Yao Xi have the honor of knowing Brother Lin's entire plan?"

"Since Brother Lin has asked me to cooperate, surely you wouldn't hide information from your partner, would you?"

With her life no longer in danger, Yao Xi became much more natural and proactive.

Lin Xiu did not answer directly, but instead suggested:

“Fairy Yao Xi, I suggest you return to the Holy Land first and ask your master about the current situation of the Yao Guang lineage. Once you have the answer, it won’t be too late to discuss the next step of cooperation.”

Lin Xiu's idea was simple: only by letting Yao Xi know how critical the situation of his holy land was could he force her to agree to his conditions regardless of everything.

Of course, he wasn't exaggerating.

In the original novel, even with Vivi around, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang left the Yaoguang Holy Land alone.

Now that Vivi is no longer with Yao Guang, the situation of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang will only get worse.

......

Yao Xi pondered for a few seconds and felt that what Lin Xiu said made a lot of sense.

Her master was a female Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land, whose cultivation was profound and had reached the level of a great being.

Given her level of understanding and status, she must know some of the truth.

Before making a decision, it's good to consult your own master.

After making up her mind, Yao Xi immediately stood up:

"In that case, please wait a moment, Brother Lin. Yao Xi will definitely return within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and gestured to Yao Xi, telling her to do as she pleased.

Yao Xi turned around, and the next second, the Holy Light spell of the Yao Guang Holy Land shone around her. She transformed into a golden streak of light, streaking across the sky and speeding towards the Yao Guang Holy Land.

........

Meanwhile, on An Miaoyi's side...

An Miaoyi was about to climb up to her usual loft when she suddenly stopped and glanced at the horizon with some concern.

A golden light was hurrying away; it was none other than Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"What's the matter that's causing such a rush?"

An Miaoyi was somewhat concerned, but not too much.

Is it strange that a female cultivator reacted so strongly upon seeing Lin Xiu? She's used to it by now, okay?

An Miaoyi wasn't interested in what exactly happened between Yao Xi and Lin Xiu, because... she had someone more important to see.

Half a minute later.

An Miaoyi pushed open the wooden door to the attic, and a familiar figure came into view—it was Weiwei.

At this moment, Weiwei was sitting at a low table by the window, wearing a long golden dress with a plain silk sash around her waist. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, loosely tied up with a jade hairpin, with a few strands falling beside her fair, smooth neck. The sunlight from outside the window fell on her, reflecting a faint, ethereal glow onto her skin.

What's most captivating are those ethereal eyes. Deep within their pupils, wisps of celestial energy flow, clear as water yet profound as the starry sky.

Upon seeing An Miaoyi return, Weiwei smiled faintly.

"You've worked hard, Fairy An."

"It's just my job, nothing hard."

An Miaoyi sat down opposite Weiwei, and with her delicate hands, she poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Weiwei picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked directly:

"Fairy An, how's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

An Miaoyi also put down her teacup and said seriously:

"Yes, Holy Lord Vivi, your guess was correct. Miss Xia did indeed only accept some ordinary growth-promoting drugs."

"As for those potent drugs that might be harmful to the body, she didn't bring any of them back."

.......

It turns out that as early as yesterday, during the Gai Jiuyou incident, An Miaoyi had already told Weiwei in detail about Xia Jiuyou's plan to have a child with Lin Xiu to repay his kindness, and that he had also ordered a large quantity of medicine from Miaoyu Nunnery.

It was precisely because the two were secretly in love that they were able to try to solve the problem quickly and in the most direct way.

Now that Xia Jiuyou has completely given up his original idea, Weiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Xia Jiuyou's matter settled, according to Weiwei's plan, the next step... is for her to handle.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Weiwei took a deep breath and then said softly:

"The matter is settled. Thank you for your help, Fairy An."

"However, besides this matter, there is another matter I would like to ask Fairy An for help with."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Please speak freely, Holy Lord Weiwei. Miaoyi will do her utmost." An Miaoyi's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.

Forgive her for speaking frankly, but she really couldn't think of anything else Weiwei needed her help with. Could she help check if any strange noises were coming from Lin Xiu's attic in the middle of the night?

Under An Miaoyi's gaze, Weiwei said unhurriedly:

"Actually, it's not a big deal."

"Please prepare a portion of the medicine that Xia Jiuyou asked you to prepare, Fairy An."

"By the way, my medicine could be a bit stronger."

"If possible, it would be best to also add some drugs that can make female cultivators release an aura that makes male cultivators unable to control themselves."

"........"

"what?"

An Miaoyi's hand holding the teacup trembled, and she almost spilled it.

She never expected that Weiwei would be so good at having fun!

So it turns out that Weiwei asked her to investigate Xia Jiuyou just so she could sneak away?

And... they even demanded that she prepare stronger medications...

Ruthless! Absolutely ruthless!

An Miaoyi felt inferior to her!

......

Ignoring An Miaoyi's subtle expression, Weiwei continued:

“Fairy An, I have already investigated. Miaoyu Nunnery mobilized a large amount of relevant resources yesterday and today.”
