Chapter 140

Hearing the other person's words, Gu Xiu roughly knew who the person in front of him was.

"Could you be Uncle Zhao Gongming?"

A flash of confusion crossed Zhao Gongming's eyes: "I am Zhao Gongming, who are you?"

Gu Xiu bowed and smiled: "Uncle, I am Gu Xiu. I just became a disciple of Yun Xiao of the Three Clouds not long ago. I have only been initiated for a short time, so it is normal that you do not know me. I have long heard of your great name, Uncle. To see you today is truly the good fortune of this junior."

Zhao Gongming looked Gu Xiu up and down, and the confusion in his eyes lessened slightly.

"In these years, I have lived in Mount Emei for a long time and have not had the time to come to Three Immortals Island to visit my three younger sisters. I didn't expect that younger sister Yun Xiao would take a disciple. However, to be able to enter the eyes of younger sister Yun Xiao, you must have extraordinary qualities." Zhao Gongming's tone carried a bit of emotion.

Gu Xiu said modestly: "Uncle, you flatter me. This disciple's aptitude is dull. Thanks to my Master not abandoning me, taking me as a disciple, and teaching me carefully, I can only cultivate diligently so as not to live up to my Master's expectations."

Zhao Gongming nodded slightly, and there was a bit more approval in his eyes.

"Not arrogant or impetuous, very good. Since you have already entered the Jie Sect and are a disciple of younger sister Yun Xiao, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to find me, Uncle."

"Rest assured, Uncle, if I have any needs, I will not be polite with you." Gu Xiu was neither humble nor pushy.

Seeing that Gu Xiu had a good attitude and spoke well, Zhao Gongming smiled with relief: "I came back to the East Sea this time because I received a decree from my Jie Sect. Thinking that I hadn't come to visit my three younger sisters for a long time, I stopped by Three Immortals Island. Since you are the disciple of younger sister Yun Xiao, come with me to see them."

After speaking, Zhao Gongming changed the subject and sighed.

"I haven't come to visit them for so many years; I wonder if they will blame me, their elder brother..."

Knowing the Investiture of the Gods well, Gu Xiu knew that Zhao Gongming had been stuck at the peak of Da Luo Golden Immortal for a long time.

He had been trying to break through all these years, but had not found the opportunity.

That was why he had been absent-minded when he arrived.

In the original fate, Zhao Gongming, due to Shen Gongbao's schemes, intended to take the initiative to get involved in the Great Calamity to seek the opportunity for a breakthrough, but was cursed and put on the list, leading the Three Clouds to go down the mountain to seek justice for their brother.

Now that Shen Gongbao was already on the list, Zhao Gongming should not be fooled.

But Zhao Gongming was stubborn, especially regarding matters of the Dao path, and no one could persuade him.

There was no guarantee that the Chan Sect wouldn't use some other insidious schemes to make Zhao Gongming fall into their trap.

Gu Xiu thought to himself that although Shen Gongbao was dead, he could not be careless.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Xiu smiled.

"Uncle, you are the elder brother of my Master and her sisters. Your eternal bond is something that no matter how time passes or how far the distance is, it cannot be erased or diluted. How could it become distant just because you haven't visited in these years?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming nodded slightly, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes: "That's true, I was overthinking it."

Subsequently, the two entered Three Immortals Island and headed toward the residence of the Three Clouds.

At this time, the Three Clouds were discussing the Dao in their usual pavilion.

Yun Xiao sat in the center, her face dignified and beautiful.

Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao sat on both sides.

The three were expressing their own opinions, and between their words, spiritual light flickered and Dao rhyme flowed.

Sensing that someone was coming, the three stopped.

Yun Xiao raised her head and looked in the direction of the person arriving.

When she saw that it was Gu Xiu and Zhao Gongming coming together, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Big Brother, why are you coming with Gu Xiu?"

She immediately stood up, her figure light and her clothes fluttering.

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao also stood up when they saw this.

Seeing that the Three Clouds were waiting early, Zhao Gongming and Gu Xiu accelerated, turning into two streaks of light and landing on the ground.

Yun Xiao moved with lotus steps, walked forward, and opened her vermilion lips slightly. Her voice was as pleasant as an oriole coming out of a valley: "Brother, why did you come with Gu Xiu?"

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily: "I met my nephew on the way here, so we came together. Big sister, second sister, third sister, did my sudden visit disturb you?"

"Brother, what are you saying." Yun Xiao said with a smile, her smile making people feel very warm: "We are just too happy that you can come to visit us."

Bi Xiao was dressed in green, and her pretty face was filled with a lively and active aura: "Big brother, you haven't come to visit us for so long. I thought you had forgotten big sister, second sister, and me."

Qiong Xiao was dressed in light red clothes, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, and her whole body exuded a cold and glamorous temperament.

Hearing Bi Xiao's words, she shook her head: "Bi Xiao, it's rare for big brother to come visit us, don't be naughty."

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily: "Haha, big sister, second sister, I have always been at ease, but younger sister Bi Xiao is still as playful as ever after not seeing her for many years."

Bi Xiao pouted and said coquettishly: "Hmph, big brother only knows how to tease me."

Seeing Bi Xiao acting spoiled, Zhao Gongming hurriedly comforted her: "Younger sister Bi Xiao, don't be angry. I have been stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of Da Luo Golden Immortal for a long time, and I have been trying to find a way to break through all these years, which is why I haven't come to visit you for so long."

The Three Clouds all knew about Zhao Gongming being stuck at the peak of Da Luo Golden Immortal.

Yun Xiao comforted him: "Brother, don't be anxious. Breakthroughs cannot be rushed. When the opportunity arrives, it will naturally fall into place."

Bi Xiao nodded: "Big sister is right. Big brother, breakthroughs cannot be rushed. Like me, I've been stuck at the early stage of Da Luo Golden Immortal for so long, and I'm not anxious at all."

Zhao Gongming smiled helplessly: "You girl, you are quite open-minded."

Qiong Xiao on the side said: "Brother, although Bi Xiao is talking nonsense, with your aptitude, breaking through is only a matter of time. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Zhao Gongming looked at his three younger sisters gratefully, his heart full of warmth: "With these words from you, I feel much more relieved."

Since the four siblings were finally reunited, Gu Xiu found it hard to interrupt.

He could only watch from the side.

But Gu Xiu knew the reason why Zhao Gongming was so urgent to break through the Da Luo Golden Immortal bottleneck.

The reason had to do with Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao, as the head of the Three Clouds, had already broken through to Quasi-Saint.

And Zhao Gongming, as their elder brother, was still stuck at the peak of Da Luo Golden Immortal, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.

So he had been cultivating in seclusion all these years, wanting to break through the Da Luo Golden Immortal peak bottleneck and reach Quasi-Saint in one go, but he had never succeeded.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Gongming asked.

"Big sister, I have been cultivating in seclusion all these years and don't know about the things happening in the outside world. Has something happened to my Jie Sect? Why did the Master suddenly summon the disciples outside back? Those who don't return this time will even be expelled from the Jie Sect."

Hearing this, Yun Xiao did not hide it and told Zhao Gongming about the things that had happened during this period and the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.

After listening and thinking for a moment, Zhao Gongming said: "I didn't expect that so many things would happen while I was in seclusion..."

"I remember that after the Master signed the Investiture of the Gods and returned, he required the disciples to close the mountain gate, recite the Huangting Scripture quietly, and wait for the Great Calamity to pass. But the Chan Sect wanted to use this to lure my Jie Sect disciples out one by one and defeat them one by one? It is truly despicable."
