Chapter 87

~8 min read 1,593 words

Yang Jian and Yang Chan went to Tao Mountain to see Yao Ji.

Gu Xiu was a bit worried that Yang Jian would see Yao Ji suffering and not listen to his advice and split the mountain.

"In my impression, Yang Jian split the mountain, but when Tao Mountain was split, it was also the time of mother and son parting, and Yao Ji soon vanished into smoke."

While pondering, Bi Xiao suddenly came stepping on clouds.

Her beautiful face carried that iconic mischievous smile.

Her beautiful figure was like a fairy in a dream under the reflection of the sun.

When the cloud group approached, Bi Xiao jumped down lightly, her skirt dancing with the wind, landing steadily in front of Gu Xiu, her laughter crisp like a bell.

"Gu Xiu, are you happy that Junior Grand-Aunt came to find you to play today?"

Gu Xiu looked at Bi Xiao and said with a smile: "Junior Grand-Aunt is joking, but you seem to be in a good mood today."

Bi Xiao snorted lightly: "On this Three Immortals Island, with Eldest Sister and Second Sister here, what troubles could there be?"

Gu Xiu smiled: "That is true, but Junior Grand-Aunt, you came here this time; is there something the matter?"

"Didn't I just say it? I came to find you to play." Bi Xiao's beautiful eyes looked at Gu Xiu: "Could it be that you forgot? I said before that when I have time, I will take you to a fun place."

Gu Xiu was slightly startled. It seemed that Bi Xiao had said this when she borrowed the puppet before.

But he didn't expect Bi Xiao to be serious, so he smiled: "Idleness is idleness. With Junior Grand-Aunt's company, it must be very interesting, but I don't know where we are going?"

Bi Xiao smiled mischievously and blinked: "I won't tell you first. You will know when we arrive."

Having said that, Bi Xiao waved her hand, and a colorful cloud rose under her feet, gently pulling Gu Xiu: "Let's go, we are setting off now."

Gu Xiu only felt his body lighten, and he was already standing on the colorful cloud.

The colorful cloud galloped, the wind whistled in his ears, and the two flew out of the Three Immortals Island.

"Junior Grand-Aunt, where are we going?"

Bi Xiao pursed her lips and smiled: "I already said you will know when we arrive. You will know soon."

The colorful cloud flew forward at high speed, and the islands, mountains, and rivers below flew past his eyes.

After a while, the colorful cloud under their feet slowly descended.

Bi Xiao took Gu Xiu and stopped in front of an island.

On the island, mountains rose and fell, emerald peaks were like clusters, clouds and mist swirled, and spiritual energy was abundant.

"Junior Grand-Aunt, where is this?" Gu Xiu asked.

Bi Xiao said without thinking: "This is Nine Dragon Island."

Gu Xiu naturally knew about Nine Dragon Island. It was an immortal island in the East Sea, and many Jie Sect disciples lived on it.

Famous ones included the Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island, the Immortal in Flame Luo Xuan, and the Plague Immortal Lü Yue.

"Junior Grand-Aunt, you said you would take me to a fun place, and it's Nine Dragon Island?"

Bi Xiao smiled lightly: "Why? Is this Nine Dragon Island not fun?"

Gu Xiu shook his head: "That's not it. Junior Grand-Aunt brought me here; there must be a reason, right?"

Bi Xiao's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and she said a bit competitively.

"Luo Xuan successfully refined ten thousand fire crows and called himself the Immortal in Flame, saying that he is the person who has mastered the fire system Dao the best in the Jie Sect."

I said that you are the person who has mastered the fire system Dao the best in our Jie Sect. Luo Xuan is not convinced and thinks I have an opinion about him. Anyway, you are on the Three Immortals Island, and idleness is idleness. It's time to save some face for Eldest Sister and us, and let Luo Xuan know that being too conceited is not good."

Gu Xiu shook his head. When he was playing with the Southern Bright Li Fire before, he was seen by Bi Xiao. He didn't expect it to evolve into this.

"Junior Grand-Aunt, I am a third-generation disciple, and Junior Grand-Uncle Luo Xuan is a second-generation disciple. If I win against him, it won't be very good, right?"

"What's wrong with that? There is no order of precedence in the Dao; those who achieve it first are the masters. If you can surpass Luo Xuan in the fire system Dao, you will be able to hold your head high in the sect in the future, and your status will rise step by step."

Gu Xiu sighed: "Alright, Junior Grand-Aunt, I will fight for some face for Master and you."

"Don't look so reluctant." Bi Xiao turned slightly and leaned over, extending her fair right hand, and patted Gu Xiu lightly.

The action seemed casual, but it carried a bit of intimacy.

"How about this? When we return to the Three Immortals Island, I will take you to a place, provided you win."

Gu Xiu sighed: "Alright, then I will ask Junior Grand-Uncle Luo Xuan for advice."

"That's more like it." Bi Xiao smiled happily and jumped off the auspicious cloud first: "There are quite a few of our Jie Sect disciples on Nine Dragon Island. You can get to know them later."

The Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island were the first to be pitted by Wen Zhong to go down the mountain. It was indeed necessary to get to know them in advance.

Gu Xiu followed and landed, arriving on Nine Dragon Island, curiously looking around.

Inside the island, ancient trees towered into the sky, the scenery was beautiful, and the spiritual energy was rich.

Although it was not as good as the Three Immortals Island, it was still an excellent place for immortal cultivation.

While the two were chatting, four tall figures came quickly.

The visitors were the Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island.

Each of them was tall and burly, majestic and imposing.

"Bi Xiao, why did you come to Nine Dragon Island? Who is the fellow Daoist beside you?" Wang Mo was tall and burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a pair of eyes like copper bells, extremely sharp, exuding majesty and dominance.

Bi Xiao raised her head slightly, not caring: "This is Eldest Sister's disciple, but I didn't come to find you today."

"I have met the four Junior Grand-Uncles." Gu Xiu raised his hand and bowed.

The Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island looked at each other.

They had been cultivating in seclusion on Nine Dragon Island and had never seen Gu Xiu, but they had indeed heard recently that Yun Xiao had taken in a disciple.

"So it is Junior Nephew. I heard that you have repeatedly made the Chan Sect lose face and vented our Jie Sect's anger. Seeing you today, you are indeed a talent."

Wang Mo's gaze turned to Gu Xiu, looking him up and down. That gaze was like substance, as if he wanted to see through Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu smiled indifferently, with a composure that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Junior Grand-Uncle is too polite."

"I wonder why Junior Nephew came here today; is there something the matter?"

"Nothing much. It's just that Junior Grand-Aunt Bi Xiao wants me to come and find Junior Grand-Uncle Luo Xuan to discuss fire system Dao methods." Gu Xiu maintained his usual calm, his smile carrying humility, and there was not a trace of arrogance or complacency in his calm eyes.

Bi Xiao had a stomach full of ghost ideas and wanted the Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island to be witnesses. Her eyes flowed: "Wang Mo, if you want to see it, you can follow."

Hearing Bi Xiao's words, Wang Mo laughed heartily: "Haha, since that's the case, we naturally have to go and join in the fun."

Yang Sen also smiled and nodded: "Being able to witness Junior Nephew and Luo Xuan's discussion on the Dao of Fire will definitely be very beneficial."

Gao Youqian wore a bright red robe and said: "Then let's go. I will lead the way."

Li Xingba also couldn't wait to watch the fun: "I can't miss this good show."

Gu Xiu shook his head. It seemed that watching the fun was the nature of all spirits.

So, led by the Four Sages of Nine Dragon Island, the few people headed toward Luo Xuan's cave dwelling.

"Junior Nephew, are you sure you can win against Luo Xuan?" On the way, Wang Mo asked.

Gu Xiu's expression was calm, and he replied: "Junior Grand-Uncle Luo Xuan is, after all, the Immortal in Flame. He has a high attainment in the fire system Dao. I dare not say I will win; I just came with the heart of learning and exchange."

Wang Mo nodded slightly: "Luo Xuan has been specializing in the fire system Dao for a long time, and ordinary people really can't compare to him. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. It's very good to be able to gain some insight from it."

"Many thanks for Junior Grand-Uncle's reminder. The junior understands."

Bi Xiao on the side rolled her eyes at Gu Xiu. He was so strong, yet he had to be so low-key.
