Chapter 147

After hearing Zhao Gongming's words, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit's face instantly turned red.

"Uncle, I'm still here. Can you consider my feelings when you speak?"

Zhao Gongming smiled: "Nephew Fire Spirit, this is my fault. You also know that Uncle has always been outspoken and didn't mean anything else."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had a straightforward personality, like her fire, which would ignite at a touch. The Jie Sect had many disciples, and they were of mixed quality. In the past, some disciples with improper behavior would hide from the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, fearing that they would be exposed if they conflicted with her.

But Gu Xiu acted upright and was not afraid of these at all.

Not wanting to dwell on the matter between himself and the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, Gu Xiu spoke and changed the subject.

"Uncle, let's stop joking. Do you plan to live on Jin'ao Island in the future?"

Zhao Gongming put away his smile, his expression suddenly solemn: "I went to see the Master and already know the reason for summoning the disciples outside back. As you informed me, it is to avoid the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity."

"But the Chan Sect doesn't want us to stay on Jin'ao Island peacefully. In order not to be in a passive position and be schemed against by the Chan Sect, the Master has already let Brother Duobao specifically investigate the movements of the Chan Sect."

Subsequently, Zhao Gongming sighed.

"The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect—I have dealt with a few of them, and they are only famous in name. In my opinion, I alone have the confidence to beat them until they run away in panic, but younger sister Yun Xiao and you, Nephew, all advised me to act only after planning."

"I will listen to you. Before the Investiture of the Gods ends, I will not return to Mount Emei and Luofu Cave. I will stay on Jin'ao Island and help my Jie Sect fellow disciples at any time."

Zhao Gongming had the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, in his hand. He could chase the Twelve Golden Immortals until they ran away in panic by himself. Even the Chan Sect's Vice-Master, Daoist Randeng, didn't dare to fight when he saw Zhao Gongming throw out the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls and hurriedly rode his plum blossom deer to escape.

If it weren't for meeting Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao on Mount Wuyi and using the Treasure-Dropping Money to drop the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, Daoist Randeng might have fallen into Zhao Gongming's hands.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu had previously run to Mount Wuyi and killed Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, so the Treasure-Dropping Money was currently in his hands.

But now that the direction of the Investiture of the Gods had changed, future things were no longer immutable, and the Chan Sect might have new ways to deal with it.

Gu Xiu smiled indifferently: "With Uncle Gongming's help, we have added another powerful combat force."

"Haha, you are too polite, Nephew. I heard that the Chan Sect wanted to use the Investiture of the Gods to deal with my Jie Sect. You were the one who informed us at the beginning, and Brother Duobao also had to ask for your opinion. I have to say that all of us in the Jie Sect owe you a favor."

Hearing this, Gu Xiu had a gentle smile on his face, his tone modest and polite.

"Uncle, you flatter me. As a Jie Sect disciple, this is all what I should do. Since I have entered the Jie Sect, I should naturally do my best for the safety of the sect. How can we talk about favors?"

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily: "Nephew is righteous, but all of us in the Jie Sect will naturally remember this kindness."

"I have been cultivating in seclusion for many years and am not very good at things that require using my brain. Big sister is more intelligent. In the past, if I had anything I didn't understand or couldn't make up my mind about, I would go and ask big sister to make the decision."

"I didn't expect that you, Nephew, would also be as intelligent and good at using your brain as big sister. I have to say that there are many similarities between you two master and disciple."

Zhao Gongming's words made Gu Xiu examine himself.

He wanted to know where he and Yun Xiao were similar.

But thinking about it, they just both had a pair of eyes and a mouth.

"Uncle, Master is so excellent, so I, the disciple, naturally cannot lose face for Master."

Zhao Gongming was very satisfied with this reply, his eyes full of admiration, and he laughed loudly.

"I heard that you, Nephew, became a Da Luo Golden Immortal not long after becoming a disciple of big sister. With such talent, you will definitely be able to reach Quasi-Saint in time, unlike me, who has cultivated for endless years but is stuck at the peak of Da Luo Golden Immortal."
