Chapter 316: Like Master, Like Disciple

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

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

Zhao Gongming laughed: "Nephew-Disciple Fire Spirit, that's my fault. You also know that Uncle-Master has always been quick to speak and didn't mean anything else."

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had a straightforward personality, like her flame, which ignited at a touch. The Jie Sect disciples were numerous and mixed. In the past, some disciples with improper behavior avoided 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 up and changed the subject.

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

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

"But the Chan Sect doesn't want us to stay on Jinao Island peacefully. In order not to be passive and be schemed against by the Chan Sect, the Sect Master has already asked Senior Brother Duobao to specifically investigate the Chan Sect's movements."

Subsequently, Zhao Gongming sighed.

"I have dealt with a few of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, 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-Disciple, both advised me to plan before acting."

"I will listen to you. I won't return to Mount Emei and Luofu Cave until the Investiture of the Gods is over. I will just stay on Jinao 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 Sect 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-Falling Money to drop the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, Daoist Randeng might have fallen into Zhao Gongming's hands.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu ran to Mount Wuyi before and killed Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and the Treasure-Falling Money was currently in his hands.

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

Gu Xiu smiled indifferently: "With your help, Uncle-Master Gongming, we have added another powerful combat force."

"Haha, you are too polite, Nephew-Disciple. 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 told us at the beginning, and Senior Brother Duobao also had to ask for your opinion. I have to say that my Jie Sect owes you a favor."

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

"Uncle-Master, you are exaggerating. As a Jie Sect disciple, this is 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-Disciple, you are righteous. However, my Jie Sect will naturally remember this kindness."

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

"I didn't expect that you, Nephew-Disciple, would be the same as Big sister, intelligent and good at using your brain. I have to say that you two master and disciple have many similarities."

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, my Master is so excellent, so I, as a disciple, naturally cannot lose face for my Master."

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

"I heard that you, Nephew-Disciple, became a Da Luo Golden Immortal not long after you entered Big sister's sect. With such talent, you will definitely be able to reach the Quasi-Saint realm in time, unlike me, who has practiced for endless years but is stuck at the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm." ===== CHAPTER 317 =====
