Chapter 267 Lin Xiu's Hush Money

As soon as An Miaoyi entered the room, she placed all the blame on herself.

Such a pragmatic performance made Lin Xiu have to think about something... perhaps An Miaoyi is really a genius at taking the civil service exam?

Despite this, Lin Xiu crossed his arms and looked serious, as if he were about to accuse someone.

"Fine, then I'd like to hear your explanation!"

Seeing that Lin Xiu seemed genuinely angry, An Miaoyi's heart tightened. She could only purse her red lips and hurriedly explain:

"Thank you, Immortal Master Lin. As far as I know, the matter should be like this..."

Next, An Miaoyi recounted all the information she knew from her own perspective, and the speculations she made based on that information.

Lin Xiu listened, his expression growing increasingly subtle.

"So, in order to save on storage and management costs, you simply mixed the medicinal herbs that should have been stored separately into the treasure vault of Miaoyu Nunnery?"

An Miaoyi: "......."

Well, she didn't expect that even after she provided so much information, Lin Xiu could still accurately extract the key points from it.

Indeed, if she hadn't saved this expense and had set aside a special place to store those medicines, even if the female saint intended to take some medicine, she wouldn't have taken the wrong one.

But Lin Xiu had already made his point so clear, what could she say? She could only continue to apologize.

"Immortal Lin, please understand. Miaoyi simply wanted to save some costs. She never expected things to develop this way."

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu remained silent, only able to stare at An Miaoyi with a pressure-filled gaze.

Under Lin Xiu's gaze, An Miaoyi felt immense pressure, her heart pounded, and a bead of sweat dripped from her fair forehead.

After staring at it for a full half minute, seeing that the effect had been achieved, Lin Xiu finally let out a cold snort and said:

"Hmph! Of course I know you didn't do it on purpose. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to see me."

Seeing Lin Xiu's reply, An Miaoyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miaoyi... Thank you for your understanding, Immortal Lin!"

Overall, although she went through a period of psychological torment, things unfolded as she had expected. Lin Xiu was a reasonable person, and after learning the whole story, he did not blame her too much.

It was precisely because she knew Lin Xiu's personality and habits that An Miaoyi took the initiative to apologize to him the moment she saw him.

If it were someone who liked to shift blame, An Miaoyi would never have done this.

.......

However, An Miaoyi had barely relaxed when Lin Xiu spoke again:

"Alright, Fairy An, since you've admitted your mistake, you should accept the punishment. Don't you agree?"

An Miaoyi: "......."

"I wonder how Immortal Lord Lin intends to punish Miaoyi?"

An Miaoyi swallowed nervously. Could it be that... even a female saint wouldn't be enough to satisfy Lin Xiu?

Lin Xiu looked at An Miaoyi's nervous expression and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, it's not really a punishment. I just hope that when Fairy An has free time, she can help Weiwei out."

“Weiwei is usually too busy. She has to handle the affairs of the Holy Land, take care of her little girl, and now she has to prepare for the competition. I want to give her some free time and relieve some of her pressure.”

"what?"

An Miaoyi was stunned, finding it hard to believe what she had just heard.

"That's it?"

She thought Lin Xiu was going to say something important, but it turned out he just wanted her to help Weiwei with her work.

"That's it."

Lin Xiu nodded.

"it is good!"

"The Immortal Venerable has given his order, and Miaoyi dares not disobey."

“From now on, Miao Yi will definitely assist Saint Vivi in ​​her affairs, handle many miscellaneous matters outside the holy land for her, and alleviate her physical fatigue.”

An Miaoyi bowed with both hands and immediately replied, afraid that Lin Xiu would regret it.

In her opinion, since she was willing to make compensation, the matter was considered closed, and Lin Xiu should not bring it up again in the future.

But... Vivi?

An Miaoyi never expected that Lin Xiu would actually ask her to share the workload with Weiwei.

In other words, even after this incident, Weiwei's position in Lin Xiu's heart remains the same as before, without any change.

It seems that Lin Xiu is a man of his word, and he did not give up on Weiwei just because he had a relationship with a female saint with profound cultivation.

correct.

Speaking of that female saint...

An Miaoyi quietly scanned the Immortal Venerable Pavilion, but did not see the female saint who had been intimate with Lin Xiu.

She was absolutely certain that the two of them had a relationship.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a saint-level formation protecting the outside world last night, and Lin Xiu wouldn't have gotten up so late today.

But now... why can't I see anyone? Have they already left?

What are you looking for?

Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow, immediately noticing the gossip in An Miaoyi's eyes.

How dare you eat his melon in front of him? You're tired of living!

"Ah? No... it's nothing. I just thought I should give you a report on what happened this morning."

An Miaoyi quickly composed herself and began to use the "changing the subject" technique, telling Lin Xiu about the situation of today's Immortal Venerable Competition.

The general situation is that the quarterfinals and semifinals have already ended, and the four people that Lin Xiu valued have all advanced to the finals.

In the Sea of ​​Wheels realm, Jiang Tingting, who had awakened her extraordinary phenomena ahead of time, swept through the enemy ranks.

At the Dao Palace Realm, Ye Fan could easily defeat any opponent with a single punch. In the finals, he would face off against a Holy Son from a Holy Land.

Having reached the Dragon Transformation Realm, Yan Ruyu has also made continuous progress and is about to face off against a rogue cultivator from Zhongzhou in the finals.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is Vivi.

Because her victory was truly remarkable.

In the Four Extremes Realm competition, she first defeated Xiang Yang, then defeated the Purple Mansion Saintess, and advanced to the finals. Her opponent in the finals was... the Yao Guang Saint Son.

If she can defeat Yao Guang Sheng Zi in the finals, she will be the most valuable young prodigy.

After all, most of the holy sons and daughters of the Eastern Wilderness are now at the Four Extremes Realm.

......

An Miaoyi's report was very detailed, and Lin Xiu was very satisfied with her performance.

"Very good, I trust you to handle things. From now on, I'll trouble you to take care of some less important miscellaneous tasks."

"I still have some things to take care of. You can go back to work."

"Oh?"

"Something to take care of? What is it? Does Immortal Lin need the help of the Myriad Desires Nunnery?"

"No, I just want some peace and quiet."

Lin Xiu looked up at the sky, appearing as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.

However... as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiu felt a surge of energy within his body.

This is a sign that a heavenly calamity is about to befall us!

Last night, after cultivating with Princess Divine Silkworm, Lin Xiu's cultivation level rose to the seventh level of Immortal Realm in one go, but he has not yet undergone tribulation.

Now... it's finally about to be completely out of control!

"Boom!~"

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered above the Immortal Venerable Pavilion, creating a scene reminiscent of an apocalyptic world.

Within the dark clouds, thunderclouds churned and lightning snakes danced wildly, and one could vaguely see some lightning-shaped creatures floating and sinking within them!

"Ok?"

An Miaoyi was stunned.

Is Lin Xiu about to break through?

But didn't Lin Xiu just break through to the Sendai realm a few days ago?

What's the situation now?

Could the rumors be true?

Does Lin Xiu really have any unorthodox cultivation techniques that allow him to improve his cultivation level through dual cultivation with female cultivators?

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu's lips twitched. He used to have the nerve to say that those gossips were just rumors, but now he really couldn't bring himself to say it.

This time, he really did improve so quickly by cultivating with a woman!

.......

"In short, consider this as payment for Fairy An."

Lin Xiu didn't intend to talk to An Miaoyi much. He directly took out some Buddhist and Taoist essence copied from the Great Thunderclap Temple from his pocket and stuffed it into An Miaoyi's hand.

Then, without waiting for An Miaoyi's reply, Lin Xiu's figure flickered, and he used the Void Array Pattern to escape into the void.

An Miaoyi: "......."

Lin Xiu... ran away?
