Chapter 235: The Jie Sect

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

Gu Xiu stood in the void, gazing at Jinao Island in the distance, when suddenly a shout came, the voice sounding somewhat ethereal in the sea breeze.

Looking down, he saw Hong Jin riding on the back of a giant whale-dragon on the surging sea, weaving through the waves and waving at him.

Gu Xiu flashed and arrived on the sea surface: "Junior Brother, are you also going to Jinao Island?"

Hong Jin laughed: "Senior Brother, during this time, I've been worried that Venerable Daoxing would cause trouble, so I've been active near Jinao Island. I was just thinking of visiting my master on Jinao today; I didn't expect to meet you, Senior Brother."

Gu Xiu nodded: "That is a coincidence. Let's go together then."

"I was just waiting for those words from you, Senior Brother."

Saying this, Hong Jin patted the whale-dragon's back, and it shot forward like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu raised a cloud of auspicious mist under his feet, floating steadily above the sea.

He looked at Hong Jin below and pondered slightly.

Although the Chan Sect's scheme to reduce the Yin Shang's fortune in Zhaoge was not going smoothly, it had been almost five years since Di Xin went to offer incense at the Nüwa Temple. Hong Jin was still in the East Sea at this time. If he stayed in the East Sea, it would be fine, so he wouldn't end up going to Sanshan Pass as a general and causing trouble for him later.

Hong Jin rode the whale-dragon, churning in the sea and kicking up huge waves. Looking ahead, he said: "Senior Brother, you might not know yet, but the matter of you and the Senior Aunt teaching Venerable Daoxing a lesson has already spread like wildfire on the island."

Gu Xiu walked through the air, the sea breeze blowing past, and he was stunned when he heard this.

Why was he so high-profile every time he went to Jinao Island?

But this was also good; he could raise his prestige among the Jie Sect disciples.

"The matter of teaching Venerable Daoxing a lesson was entirely the credit of Senior Aunt Bi Xiao; I only provided some assistance on the side."

"Haha, but you were involved too, Senior Brother." Hong Jin laughed.

Both of them tacitly did not mention Wei Hu.

Although this matter boosted the Jie Sect's morale, killing a Chan Sect disciple was something that shouldn't be known by a third party before they had completely torn off the mask with the Chan Sect.

No more words were spoken, and accompanied by the whale-dragon breaking through the waves, the two soon arrived at Jinao Island.

On Jinao Island, Gu Xiu and Hong Jin walked side by side.

"Senior Brother, do you have business on Jinao Island?"

"I have a cave dwelling on Jinao Island. I was bored, so I came to take a look." Gu Xiu told the truth.

Hearing this, Hong Jin was full of surprise: "Senior Brother, you have a cave dwelling on Jinao Island?"

For a third-generation disciple to be able to open a cave dwelling on Jinao Island meant they were highly valued.

Other third-generation and fourth-generation disciples basically lived in collective housing on Jinao Island or in their master's dojo; if they wanted to open their own cave dwelling, they had to go outside to find a place.

Gu Xiu shook his head: "The Grandmaster rewarded it; there was no other way."

Hong Jin's eyes were full of admiration and envy.

"Senior Brother is so powerful, it is only natural that you are valued by the Grandmaster."

"Grand-nephew, it really is you. Are you here to visit Jinao Island again?" While the two were talking, someone recognized Gu Xiu and gathered around.

"Grand-nephew, we all know about you and Bi Xiao beating up Venerable Daoxing. You've boosted our Jie Sect's morale again!"

In an instant, the surrounding Senior Uncles, Senior Aunts, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, and Junior Brothers and Sisters gathered around, their faces full of friendly smiles.

"Grand-nephew Gu Xiu, what brings you to the island this time? Did you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation? Feel free to ask us."

Everyone spoke one after another, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

They had separated Gu Xiu and Hong Jin.

Hong Jin laughed from the outside: "Senior Brother, I have important business to visit my master, and the Senior Uncles and Aunts are so enthusiastic about you, so I will leave first. Let's talk next time."

Facing the fellow disciples who had gathered around, Gu Xiu was helpless, so he had to bow and answer with a smile: "Senior Uncles, Senior Aunts, Senior Brothers, and Senior Sisters, I came here first to visit everyone, and second, I wanted to walk around the island. Everyone doesn't need to be so enthusiastic; I'm a bit flattered."

Hearing this, everyone laughed again.

"Grand-nephew, you boosted our Jie Sect's morale, how can we let you be unknown? Everyone, right?"

"Right, right."

"You kid, isn't it good that everyone cares about you?"

The Senior Uncles, Senior Aunts, Senior Brothers, and Senior Sisters who had gathered around didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

At this moment.

Two graceful fairies stepped on auspicious clouds and approached slowly.

They shouted in delicate voices.

"Since the Grand-nephew has said so, please disperse and stop bothering him."

"If you act like this, how can the Grand-nephew do his own business on Jinao Island?"

Everyone looked at the two fairies who had arrived, and hearing their reprimand, shame appeared on their faces.

"Senior Sister Han Zhi, Junior Sister Cai Yun, it was our lack of consideration."

Then, they expressed their apologies to Gu Xiu.

"It was our oversight, we hope the Grand-nephew will not blame us."

With the appearance of Fairy Han Zhi and Fairy Cai Yun, the Jie Sect disciples echoed their apologies and dispersed one by one.

Gu Xiu saw this and stepped forward to bow: "Thank you, two Senior Aunts, for the rescue."

Fairy Han Zhi turned around and smiled slightly: "Grand-nephew, you are welcome. Your Senior Aunts are good friends with your master, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao. We have been in seclusion before and haven't seen you. Seeing you today, you are indeed very handsome and a talent."

Fairy Cai Yun nodded slightly and said softly: "Indeed very handsome. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come find us."

"Two Senior Aunts, you flatter me." The two were so enthusiastic and praised him so much that Gu Xiu felt embarrassed.

Fairy Han Zhi said with a smile: "Grand-nephew, you don't need to be so distant. Just feel at ease on the island, and if you have anything, come find your Senior Aunts."

Fairy Cai Yun also smiled and echoed: "Yes, Jinao Island is very large. If you need someone to show you around, you can also come find your Senior Aunts."

"This disciple understands."

The two fairies nodded and turned to float away.

Gu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. The Senior Aunts and Uncles were so enthusiastic that it was a bit overwhelming.

But he didn't expect to meet Fairy Han Zhi and Fairy Cai Yun on this trip to Jinao Island.

The two were indeed good friends of the Three Xiaos.

Fairy Han Zhi was the transformation of an innate spiritual mushroom, and Fairy Cai Yun was the transformation of a colorful cloud, just like her name.

Fairy Cai Yun was fine, but Fairy Han Zhi had a fiery temper and was a warm-hearted person.

After Zhao Gongming had his twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls taken by the Luobao Money, he came to the Three Xiaos to borrow the Golden Dragon Scissors, wanting to return to Xiqi to regain face and demand the Sea-Calming Pearls from Randeng.

The Three Xiaos had originally refused, and Zhao Gongming had intended to return to Mount Emei and Luofu Cave.

It was Fairy Han Zhi who suddenly intervened and spoke fiercely to the Three Xiaos.

This led the Three Xiaos to finally lend out the Golden Dragon Scissors, triggering a series of events.

Now that he was Yun Xiao's disciple, he couldn't let this happen again.

Seeing that no one was bothering him anymore, Gu Xiu went to find Holy Mother Huo Ling.

Holy Mother Huo Ling was a bit surprised by Gu Xiu's arrival.

They had just discussed the Dao on Three Immortals Island not long ago.

"Junior Brother, you suddenly came to find me, is there any urgent matter?"

Gu Xiu shook his head: "Senior Sister, my master asked for a cave dwelling for me not long ago, but I don't know where it is, so I came to ask you."

"You handed over the Eight-Nine Profound Art, and Senior Aunt Yun Xiao did indeed ask for a top-grade cave dwelling for you in front of the Grandmaster. Junior Brother, are you planning to move in?" Holy Mother Huo Ling's eyes held a bit of curiosity.

Gu Xiu smiled, his tone honest: "I want to take a look first and decorate it. As for moving in, it might be a bit later."

"That's fine, Junior Brother, follow me, I'll take you there." ===== CHAPTER 236 =====
