Chapter 309: Gathering at Three Immortals Island, Eternal Friendship

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

"Could you be Uncle-Master Zhao Gongming?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes: "I am Zhao Gongming, who are you?"

Gu Xiu bowed and laughed: "Uncle-Master, I am Gu Xiu. I recently became a disciple of Yun Xiao, one of the Three Xiao sisters. 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-Master; seeing you today is truly this junior's fortune."

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

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

Gu Xiu said modestly: "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. This disciple is dull in aptitude, but thanks to my Master not abandoning me, taking me as a disciple, and teaching me with care, I can only practice diligently so as not to disappoint my Master's expectations."

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

"Neither arrogant nor rash, very good. Since you have already entered the Jie Sect and are younger sister Yun Xiao's disciple, if you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me."

"Uncle-Master, rest assured, if I need anything, 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 visited my three younger sisters for a long time, I came to Three Immortals Island by the way. Since you are younger sister Yun Xiao's disciple, come with me to see them."

After speaking, Zhao Gongming changed the subject and sighed.

"I haven't visited 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 the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm 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 actively get involved in the Great Calamity to seek the opportunity for a breakthrough, was cursed to death, and ended up on the list, causing the Three Xiao sisters to descend 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 his Dao path; no one could persuade him.

There was no guarantee that the Chan Sect wouldn't use some other 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 laughed.

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

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

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

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

Yun Xiao sat in the middle, 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 rhymes flowed.

Feeling that someone was approaching, the three stopped.

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

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 posture light and her clothes fluttering.

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

Seeing that the Three Xiao sisters 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 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-disciple 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 only too happy that you can come to visit us."

Bi Xiao was dressed in green, her pretty face overflowing with a lively and spirited aura: "Big Brother, you haven't visited us for so long; I thought you had forgotten big sister, second sister, and me."

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

Hearing Bi Xiao's words, she shook her head: "Bi Xiao, it's rare for Big Brother to visit us; you are not allowed to be naughty."

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily: "Haha, I have always been at ease with big sister and second sister, 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 the 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 visited you for so long."

The Three Xiao sisters all knew about Zhao Gongming being stuck at the peak of the 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 the 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, a breakthrough 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 gathered together, 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 Xiao sisters, had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

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

So he had been practicing in seclusion all these years, wanting to break through the bottleneck of the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal and reach the Quasi-Saint realm in one go, but he had not succeeded.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Gongming asked.

"Big sister, I have been practicing in seclusion all these years and do not understand what has happened in the outside world. Has something happened to my Jie Sect? Why did the Sect Master suddenly summon the disciples who were outside back? Those who do not return this time will even be expelled from the Jie Sect."

Hearing this, Yun Xiao did not hide anything and told Zhao Gongming about what had happened during this period, as well as the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.

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

"I remember that when the Sect Master returned after signing the Investiture of the Gods, he required his 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." ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
