Chapter 339: Returning to Jinao Island, Taibai Jinxing visits
After teaching the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality a lesson, Gu Xiu and the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit were returning to Jinao Island.
They went to report the results of this matter to the Daoist Duobao, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, and the others.
Gu Xiu stood to one side.
It was the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit who did all the reporting.
She described the scene at the time with such vivid detail that it was incredibly lifelike.
One could see just how happy the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit was about this trip to teach the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality a lesson.
After the three Holy Mothers exchanged pleasantries, they finally remembered Gu Xiu.
"Nephew, this trip, you and Junior Sister Turtle Spirit taught the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality a lesson, and you have vented a great deal of anger for our Jie Sect, boosting our prestige. I believe that once the other fellow disciples hear of this, your standing within the sect will rise significantly."
Although his initial plan was to increase his standing in the Jie Sect so that his words would carry weight, Gu Xiu still remained humble.
"Uncle, this disciple was merely doing his duty."
"By the way, two Uncles, this is the scene recorded by the image-retention stone; you may take a look." In order to deal with the Chan Sect and preserve evidence, Gu Xiu had always carried an image-retention stone with him.
The Holy Mother of Wudang smiled and said: "Nephew is indeed thoughtful to have recorded it with an image-retention stone."
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit nodded: "In the future, if any Chan Sect disciples dare to insult our Jie Sect, we shall use this to shame them."
The several Holy Mothers were more and more satisfied with Gu Xiu the more they looked at him, wishing he were their own disciple.
Daoist Duobao said: "We can also refine items that record scenes, but the method for refining the image-retention stone that Nephew shared from the Biyou Palace library has a simple principle, and the required materials are easier to obtain. I believe that in the future, our Jie Sect disciples can each have one when they go out, so they will no longer fear the Chan Sect slandering us and turning black into white."
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit nodded slightly.
"The Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality will certainly not let this matter rest. We shall just wait for them to enter our trap. The ten thousand immortals of our Jie Sect are already prepared for a life-and-death battle with the Chan Sect."
The matter had been reported, and having obtained a fragment of the Creation Jade Disk, Gu Xiu needed to go back to contemplate it. Not wanting to linger, he spoke up.
"Several Uncles, since Uncle Turtle Spirit and I have taught the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality a lesson, the Chan Sect will likely need to plan carefully before taking their next step. I will return to the Three Immortals Island first, so I can inform Master and the others of this good news."
The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit nodded slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "Very well, go ahead. I believe Junior Sister Sanxiao will also be very happy to hear this news."
Gu Xiu nodded and left the place.
After exiting the mountain gate of Jinao Island, he set off to return to the Three Immortals Island.
On the way, he pondered for a moment.
"Master and the others have been practicing the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array during this time. I really should go see how their practice is going and, by the way, tell them about the current situation."
Thinking of this, Gu Xiu went to find Sanxiao upon returning to the Three Immortals Island.
It just so happened that the three of them had just finished practicing the array.
Seeing Gu Xiu come over, they stopped.
Gu Xiu walked up: "Master, two Aunts, I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Bi Xiao was the first to walk over: "Of course not, but did you come here specifically to find us? Or to find Eldest Sister?"
Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao followed behind, their gazes landing on Gu Xiu together.
Gu Xiu revealed a faint smile.
"Aunt Bi Xiao, I naturally came to find Master and you all."
Bi Xiao said: "That's more like it."
Yun Xiao walked up, her tone gentle: "Third Sister, let us first hear if Gu Xiu has anything to say."
Gu Xiu cupped his hands: "Master, there is nothing much, it is just that a few days ago, this disciple and Aunt Turtle Spirit went out and taught the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality a lesson. Thinking of such a gratifying event, I had to inform Master and Aunt."
"There is such a thing? Hurry and tell us about how you beat up the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality." Bi Xiao leaned her little head over, very curious about the matter of teaching the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality a lesson.
Yun Xiao's gaze was gentle, and she said softly: "Since Senior Sister Turtle Spirit could go with you, I suppose Brother Duobao and Senior Sister Golden Spirit gave their tacit approval, right?"
Gu Xiu smiled.
"Master guessed correctly. If Uncle Duobao and Uncle Golden Spirit hadn't given their tacit approval, how could this disciple have moved Uncle Turtle Spirit?"
Then he took out an image-retention stone and played the scene recorded at the time.
Seeing the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality in the recording, beaten to a miserable state.
Bi Xiao laughed until she couldn't close her mouth.
"I never expected the Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality to have such a day."
Yun Xiao pondered slightly and looked at Gu Xiu: "We have taught the Twelve Golden Immortals a lesson one after another, and currently, we are at odds like fire and water. I believe they will find an opportunity to retaliate. Gu Xiu, you must be careful at all times when you are outside."
"Master, rest assured, I will."
At this moment, someone came to visit from outside.
"May I ask if the Three Immortals of the Three Immortals Island and the High Immortal Gu Xiu are present?"
Sanxiao and Gu Xiu cast their eyes outward.
Bi Xiao frowned slightly, her little mouth pouting: "Why is Taibai Jinxing here again? Truly annoying, I really want to pull out all his beard."
Withdrawing her gaze, Yun Xiao said: "Gu Xiu, you go take a look, he is likely here to find you."
"Very well, Master."
Gu Xiu's figure flashed and disappeared from where he was.
Outside the Three Immortals Island,
Taibai Jinxing was waiting outside.
He was startled to see Gu Xiu suddenly appear.
After seeing clearly who it was, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"High Immortal, so it was you."
"Taibai Jinxing, why have you come? Does the Heavenly Emperor have something to tell me?"
Taibai Jinxing was all smiles, flattering him: "The High Immortal truly predicts things like a god; it is indeed His Majesty who sent me here."
Gu Xiu knew without thinking that Taibai Jinxing had come this time because Princess Longji had told Haotian his words, and Haotian had sent Taibai Jinxing over.
He opened his mouth to ask.
"I wonder what words the Heavenly Emperor has for you to bring to me?"
Taibai Jinxing said with some difficulty.
"High Immortal, His Majesty gave me an imperial decree involving Yao Ji. I wonder if Yang Jian and Yang Chan are on the Three Immortals Island? His Majesty wants them to also know the contents of the imperial decree."
"Involving Yao Ji?" This made Gu Xiu curious, wanting to know if Haotian had agreed to release Yao Ji.
But thinking about it, it was impossible; his words were not that effective.
"Yang Jian and Yang Chan are both on the Three Immortals Island. Let us go find them."
He entered the Three Immortals Island with Taibai Jinxing and arrived at their residence.
Only Yang Chan was there alone.
Seeing Gu Xiu and Taibai Jinxing return together, the smile on Yang Chan's face froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and she nodded gently to signal.
"Immortal, you are back."
Gu Xiu nodded: "Taibai Jinxing brought an imperial decree involving Yao Ji. I have already notified Yang Jian, and he is on his way back. Let us see what your uncle wants to do."
Yang Chan's expression shifted slightly, her mood complex.
She did not expect Taibai Jinxing to bring Haotian's imperial decree this time, and it was related to her mother.
But she could not ask openly, so she had to wait for Yang Jian to return.
While they were speaking, Yang Jian happened to return from outside.
He had thought that Gu Xiu sending a message for him to return meant there was something for him to do, and he was feeling happy in his heart.
But seeing Taibai Jinxing in the courtyard, Yang Jian stopped in his tracks.
Not knowing why Taibai Jinxing had come, he thought for a moment and walked over.
"Master,"
Gu Xiu nodded: "Yang Jian, you are here."
Then he looked at Taibai Jinxing,
"Taibai Jinxing, now that everyone is here, should you tell us what imperial decree the Heavenly Emperor has issued?"
Taibai Jinxing smiled: "High Immortal, that is only natural. I will say it now." ===== CHAPTER 340 =====
