Chapter 163: The Three Xiao's Desire to Head to the North Sea

What does the Chan Sect stirring up trouble with the North Sea Demon Court have to do with us?

Yunxiao Immortal Maiden felt uneasy about the Hunyuan Golden Dou incident, and wasn't very interested in the major matter Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden mentioned.

Elder sister, there is a relation, and it's a big one!

Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden said: "According to my investigation over this period, this Chan Sect envoy is closely related to Xianxian's father."

Given my understanding of Xianxian's father, this person never acts without profit, so the Chan Sect envoy's trip to the North Sea Demon Court surely has some motive—perhaps a great opportunity!

Second sister, when did you get to know that person so well?

Beside them, Bixiao Immortal Maiden furrowed her brows and said.

Hearing her second sister know that person so well, for some reason Bixiao Immortal Maiden felt a faint discomfort in her heart.

Hehe, little sister, do you think I really did nothing during this time at Chentang Pass?

Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden said proudly: "You and the elder sister always secretly call me a simpleton, but I'm not at all simple; most of the time I'm incredibly sharp—pah pah—lately that dead fatso's influence has made my accent slip away."

A great opportunity?

Yunxiao Immortal Maiden didn't care about Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden's nonsense.

As a wise female immortal, Yunxiao Immortal Maiden is very good at grasping the essentials.

Opportunity, yes, it's exactly an opportunity!

The Fengshen Calamity is about to arise; whether Chan Sect or the Jie Sect they belong to, they are all striving to accumulate foundation.

And among them, the Jie Sect immortals are even more so.

After all, Lord Tongtian recently sent out a message urging them to do everything possible to boost the Jie Sect's foundation.

Although Lord Tongtian didn't state it outright, the Jie Sect immortals can still sense the gravity of the situation.

Therefore, any opportunity is extremely important for the present Jie Sect.

Although Yunxiao Immortal Maiden doesn't know much about Ao Yifan.

But since my younger sister said so, it shows that there indeed is some opportunity in the North Sea Demon Court.

Come on, let's go join the fun too!

Yunxiao Immortal Maiden said: "By the way, also let Xianxian meet her father, and have that guy pay some child support."

Elder sister, really do it like that?

Bixiao Immortal Maiden hesitated a bit.

After all, she had borne Ao Yifan's child in a daze, and instinctively Bixiao Immortal Maiden didn't know how to face Ao Yifan.

Little sister, what are you worried about? With me and the elder sister here, give him ten guts, he still wouldn't dare bully you!

Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden patted her chest and assured: "Little sister, rest assured, if anything happens, the second sister will block it for you!"

At this moment, Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden didn't realize that her boastful bluster this time also counted as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

She really did block in front of her younger sister.

……

Fellow Daoist, troubling you like this, how could I be embarrassed?

Taiyi True Person was nominated to bring Nezha into the envoy roster, heading to the North Sea Demon Court for evaluation.

When he heard this news, Taiyi True Person was very worried.

After all, due to his mistake, the Lingzhu Pearl turned into a demonic pill, and to this day he hasn't dared to report to the Jade Void Palace.

Know that committing such a great error will surely earn him a reprimand from his master and confinement for cultivation.

Last time he was confined for ten years, that sunless life, Taiyi True Person has had enough.

Although after leaving seclusion he successfully condensed the three flowers atop his head, making many envy him.

But that is not the life Taiyi True Person wants.

So when he heard Ao Yifan help him think of a way to hide the heavens and cross the sea, Taiyi True Person's gratitude to Ao Yifan was like the endless flow of the Yellow River.

True Person, you're too polite!

Ao Yifan waved his hand, took out several jars of fine wine, and said: "Nezha's achievements these past years are thanks to the True Person's careful guidance; when Nezha goes to the Jade Void Palace later, he will also need the True Person's care, so this small matter need not trouble the True Person."

Fine, fine!

Accepting the wine from Ao Yifan's hand, Taiyi True Person was not polite either, took a big gulp, and his face showed a look of enjoyment.

Great!

Watching this scene, Ao Yifan laughed as he poured himself a cup and drank together with Taiyi True Person.

True Person, speaking of which, I've heard that after this mission you will be appointed among the Twelve Golden Immortals?

Ao Yifan said seemingly offhandedly.

Yes indeed!

Wiping a smear of wine from the corner of his mouth, Taiyi True Person said: "Earlier, my senior brother kept urging me to return to receive the Twelve Golden Immortals' position; after this mission it should be settled."

Hehe, looking at it this way, the Chan Sect is really short-staffed!

Ao Yifan laughed and said.

How so?

Taiyi True Person blinked slightly, seemingly not quite grasping Ao Yifan's meaning.

Ao Yifan waved his hand, saying: "Nothing, True Person need not worry about it!"

But the more Ao Yifan said that, the stronger Taiyi True Person's curiosity grew.

Hey, fellow Daoist, if you have something to say just say it straight; given our relationship, why beat around the bush?

Taiyi True Person urged.

Alright then!

Ao Yifan showed a hint of embarrassment and said: "However, I too have only heard this, just hearsay; Cihang Daoist mentioned that because Puxian True Person fell, and with the Great Fengshen Calamity about to begin, the Chan Sect is now severely short-handed, and everyone intends to supplement manpower to handle affairs; your situation, True Person, is probably similar."

"You mean, senior elder brother urged me to return to the Jade Void Palace, take up the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals, is there something for me to do, right?"

Taiyi Zhenren had a bitter melon face, but he never expected that this peach would harbor such ill intent.

You should know, he cultivates just to enjoy life freely and at ease; if he piles on chores to tire himself out, what's the point of this cultivation?

"That's probably it; this time, Cihang Daoist personally leads the team because the Chan Teaching is short-handed."

Ao Yifan's words once again confirmed Taiyi Zhenren's suspicion.

"Indeed, Senior Sister Cihang, she usually keeps to herself, spending all her time cultivating in her Luojia Cave; this time she actually took on the mission team's task—doesn't that show the Chan Teaching really has no one usable?"

At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren felt as if his heavens had collapsed.

He wanted the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals, but he wasn't going to become a beast of burden.

If taking the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals required toiling like a beast of burden day and night, Taiyi Zhenren would rather not have it.

This, is the difference between people.

If Shen Gong Bao knew that merely taking the Twelve Golden Immortals' position might require becoming a beast of burden, Taiyi Zhenren would start to despise that position—I don't know if he'd spit blood.

After all, if Shen Gong Bao were really allowed to take the Twelve Golden Immortals' position, even if he worked himself to death, he'd still be happy.
