Chapter 208: Returning to the place of seeking the Dao, Princess Longji enters by mistake

While the Heavenly Court wanted to reap the benefits as a third party.

With nothing to do on Three Immortals Island, Gu Xiu summoned the Water-Fire Qilins and headed toward his former residence.

With two Qilins as a carriage, the return trip was fast, taking only a few hours.

"It's been over two years since I've been back, I don't know how it is..."

Gu Xiu didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Yin-Shang. After letting Wen Zhong return, there was nothing to do for the time being.

He could only wait until there was a mission before going to Zhaoge.

A few hours later, Gu Xiu returned to his previous residence, which was also his dojo.

The two bamboo houses hadn't changed much, only there were many more leaves on the ground.

Gu Xiu waved his hand, and the residence took on a new look. The fallen leaves and dust on the ground were completely gone.

"It doesn't look much different from when I left, just a lot more deserted."

"I'll live here in the middle and late stages of the Investiture of the Gods. As for normal times, I'll go to Three Immortals Island to eat and drink. Going to Three Immortals Island every few days, there will be no reason for me to live in the cave dwelling on Golden Turtle Island."

He observed the surroundings.

"Although the spiritual energy here is average and it's not a good place for a dojo, this is the place where I pursue the immortal Dao, which other places cannot make up for."

Seeing that there was nothing left to tidy up outside, Gu Xiu walked toward the house.

Because he lived here with Yun Xiao before, the bamboo house was simple, with a kind of simplicity of the Great Dao.

"Is anyone here?"

While tidying up things inside the house, he heard a crisp female voice coming from outside.

Gu Xiu was very suspicious.

There was no village nearby, and he had set up a barrier, so mortals could not break in here at all.

He put down the things in his hand and walked out.

Outside the bamboo house.

There was a woman dressed in palace attire, with a noble temperament and elegant demeanor.

Gu Xiu was suspicious.

Who is this woman?

"Ding!"

"Detected that Princess Longji, daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, has entered this place by mistake. Event options triggered; please make a choice, Host."

"Choice One: Tease Princess Longji. Reward: A bottle of Male-Vigor Gathering-Yang Pills!"

(After taking it, it can gather Yang energy around the body, not only improving male vigor but also enhancing physical fitness, making men full of Yang energy and showing masculinity.)

"Choice Two: Expose Princess Longji's identity. Reward: A sapling of the Innate Ren Water Flat Peach Tree!"

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment. Was it because he complained that there were few flat peaches when he was on Three Immortals Island, so it specifically gave him another one?

But he didn't expect the person to be Princess Longji. Why was she running here instead of staying in the Qingluan Douque Palace on Phoenix Mountain?

This woman would appear later to assist the Chan Sect, carrying a pile of magic treasures, causing no small obstacles for Yin-Shang.

He looked at the panel popped up by the system.

Choice one was directly ignored by Gu Xiu. He was full of vigor, so how could he need that kind of thing?

His gaze fell on choice two, and he silently chose it in his heart.

Then, he said to Princess Longji: "Young lady, this place is remote. I don't know who you are? Why did you come here?"

Princess Longji cupped her hands: "Fellow Daoist, my name is Longji. I passed by this place by chance and saw a peach blossom source in this remote place, and two bamboo houses. The environment is incomparably elegant. I was curious about which Fellow Daoist was living in seclusion here. If I offended you, please forgive me."

"No problem. Fellow Daoist shouldn't be called Longji, but Princess Longji, daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, right?"

Suddenly being pointed out her identity, Princess Longji's eyes narrowed, and she became vigilant.

"Who are you?"

Gu Xiu smiled, his smile revealing a kind of composure and calmness.

"Who I am is not important. You were demoted to the mortal world because you lost your etiquette at the Flat Peach Banquet. It should be the Heavenly Emperor's intention, the purpose is to let you participate in the Investiture of the Gods among the three sects, right? Whoever gains the advantage among the three sects, you will go to help them, which counts as the Heavenly Court's stance?"

The Investiture of the Gods among the three sects was to work for the Heavenly Court and transport talents.

But no one from the Heavenly Court was seen in the Investiture of the Gods. The only one related to the Heavenly Court was Princess Longji, who was demoted to the mortal world.

Originally it was just a guess, but seeing Princess Longji's reaction, Gu Xiu confirmed it by seven or eight points in his heart.

"Who exactly are you?" Princess Longji's expression was cold, and she took out the magic treasures, the Two-Dragon Sword and the Universe Needle, questioning loudly.

Only the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother knew about this. Princess Longji didn't understand how Gu Xiu would know these things.

Seeing Princess Longji take out two magic treasures without a word, Gu Xiu was very envious.

A princess demoted to the mortal world had a pile of magic treasures, a proper rich woman. These magic treasures made her shine in the Investiture of the Gods. This was also why he guessed Princess Longji's stance, representing the Heavenly Court's attitude.

"I am a disciple of the Jie Sect." Gu Xiu said indifferently.

Princess Longji frowned: "You are a disciple of the Jie Sect, why do you know these things?"

Gu Xiu gave the other party a meaningful smile.

"Secret. The Investiture of the Gods is coming. I don't know if Princess Longji can stand on the side of the Jie Sect?"

Princess Longji's beautiful face was cold, and she snorted coldly.

"Since you know those things, you should know that if you want me to stand on the side of the Jie Sect, you have to see how the Jie Sect performs in the Investiture of the Gods. I only stand on the side with the advantage."

Gu Xiu smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, Princess Longji will see the performance of the Jie Sect before long. If Princess Longji chooses the Chan Sect, it will end in tragedy."

"If one day the Old Man under the Moon asks you to tie the knot with someone named Hong Jin, if you come to find me, there may still be a turning point."

Suddenly mentioning a name she had never heard before, saying she would tie the knot with him, made Princess Longji very angry.

"Nonsense! Don't even think about making me help the Jie Sect like this."

She was the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, high above. As long as she didn't want to, who would dare to make her marry?

Princess Longji turned and left.

"Ding!"

"Mission complete, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a sapling of the Innate Ren Water Flat Peach Tree!"

The Innate Flat Peach Tree sapling had been obtained.

Princess Longji was no longer important.

If she could be won over, that would be fine. If not, he would send her to the list later.

After Princess Longji left, Gu Xiu took out the Innate Flat Peach Tree sapling and planted it in the ground.

"In this way, one on Three Immortals Island and one here. Although I can't bribe the immortals, it's enough to be self-sufficient."

When Gu Xiu returned here.

Under the intentional promotion of the Heavenly Court.

The rumors in the Three Realms about True Person Yuding going to the East Sea and being beaten up by the Three Xiao Sisters, and being chased and beaten by a third-generation disciple, were spreading like wildfire in the Three Realms.

Not many people cared about the truth.

They only knew that True Person Yuding was beaten by someone from the Jie Sect when he was in the East Sea.

As it spread wider and wider, many versions were derived, but only Gu Xiu remained as the protagonist.

It became that True Person Yuding was defeated by a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, knelt down and begged for mercy, and had an immortal root broken before he saved his life.

This matter soon spread to East Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.

Several of the Twelve Golden Immortals rushed to Mount Kunlun.

Wanting to find out what was going on.

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun said: "I believe all fellow brothers heard the recent rumors in the Three Realms, so they returned to Mount Kunlun, right?"

Daoxing Tianzun said slowly: "Senior Brother Yuding specializes in the sword Dao and emphasizes killing. How could he be defeated by a third-generation disciple?"

Cihang Taoist looked at everyone, parted his lips.

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, Yuding has made our Chan Sect lose so much face, we must retaliate, otherwise they will really think we are not as good as that group of people from the Jie Sect."

At this time, Guangchengzi and Chijingzi came in together from outside.

"Seen Senior Brother Guangchengzi, Senior Brother Chijingzi."

Guangchengzi nodded: "Are you fellow brothers also back because you heard about Yuding? I have already sent a letter to Yuding, we will wait for Yuding to come and ask clearly."

In the Primordial land, in a mountain.

True Person Yuding was sitting on a rock. For the past period of time, he had been teaching Yuan Hong the Eight-Nine Profound Art here.

Suddenly, a golden sticker fell from the sky and hit him on the head. Yuding picked it up and looked.

It described him being beaten up by Gu Xiu, kneeling and begging for mercy, and having an immortal root broken.

True Person Yuding was furious.

"Unreasonable, who is spreading these rumors, wanting to smear my True Person Yuding?"

As he spoke, a golden book flew over, which was the information sent by Guangchengzi.

True Person Yuding opened it and immediately set off for Mount Kunlun. ===== CHAPTER 209 =====
