Chapter 2878: You don't have anything to say to me?

They are all disciples taught by the same master; how could Liu Shuang not know? These two guys, if they had even the slightest chance, would devour everything clean, leaving not a single stalk.

Their little bit of humanity, spoken as if nobody didn't know, under the master's gate, they are all the sort who eat people and don't spit out bones, without exception................

I was just thinking about it, but the next second, I heard a simple and honest voice tinged with a bit of shock.

Junior brother, junior sister, these spirit pets cannot be taken in large numbers; at most one, taking more would actually be bad.

The voice came from Zhao Zhengping; upon hearing this, Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, and Lu Youyou all twitched the corners of their mouths.

There is indeed an exception: how did Senior Brother originally join the master's sect? He and the master are not of the same ilk.

Isn't this like a cotton ball popping out of a gutter?

Their Divine Sword Peak lineage relies on being ruthless and vicious to get started, and yet it produced a sage.

The three of them ignored Zhao Zhengping, but seeing that, he asked another question.

I'm talking to you guys.

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Lu Youyou immediately put on an obedient expression and said.

Understood, Senior Brother.

Hmm, the junior sister is still the most obedient.

Upon hearing that, Zhao Zhengping smiled with satisfaction, then glanced disapprovingly at Xu Jie and Liu Shuang before continuing to coax his own spirit pet.

Zhao Zhengping trying to coax those Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts is obviously more laborious, after all the time has been much longer, and for a long time there has been no response.

And as for why this is so, Xu Jie and the others can all guess.

Well, after establishing contact, the tree ghost selected by Zhao Zhengping opened with the same question.

Can you guarantee I'll get to eat?

This................

Get lost.

The first tree ghost, seeing Zhao Zhengping hesitate, directly cut off the connection unilaterally, not daring to even give a guarantee, let alone say anything else.

Upon this, Zhao Zhengping himself was dumbfounded: 'No, I haven't even said anything yet.'

Immediately, he selected a second tree ghost, with the same question.

Can you guarantee I'll get to eat?

This time, having learned from the previous experience, Zhao Zhengping dared not hesitate and immediately spoke up.

I don't dare, but if I have a bite to eat, you will definitely have a bite as well.

Get lost.

Huh???

Again ruthlessly rejected, Zhao Zhengping stood there dazed once more—what's with these spirit pets? Just now Xu Jie and the others were all so simple and straightforward.

Apart from the second junior sister spitting up a mouthful of blood, there were no other problems—could it be because he didn't spit blood?

Zhao Zhengping couldn't figure it out, and even turned his head to glance at his own junior brothers and sisters.

Faced with that complicated gaze, Xu Jie and the three fell silent—this is their Senior Brother, pure and honest.

In the end, Xu Jie had his own spirit pet help him pick one, secretly telling the other party that Zhao Zhengping could guarantee it, and only then was he able to coax it.

Zhao Zhengping naturally didn't know about this; after reaching an agreement with that tree ghost and successfully subduing it, he still said with a feeling of emotion.

Not easy.

Huh???

Xu Jie and the three no longer wanted to say more, so they forced a smile and offered congratulations.

Congratulations, congratulations.

The four senior brothers each harvested their own tree ghost, but there are still plenty of tree ghosts left.

At this moment, a tree ghost took the initiative to contact Xu Jie and asked.

What should we do?

You've all chosen your own spirit pets; what about their remaining companions? They need to eat too.

As for this, Xu Jie naturally had already planned.

Are there many Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts? If it's just the four senior brothers, then naturally there are many.

After all, at most they can withstand the pressure of a single spirit pet; any more would be impossible.

But if placed within the entire Dao One Immortal Sect, the number of these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts would be completely insignificant.

With so many peak masters and so many senior brothers, one each probably wouldn't be enough to go around.

Not only Xu Jie, but the tree ghosts of Liu Shuang and Lu Youyou also asked the same question.

These Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts are also very righteous; after they themselves can eat, they haven't forgotten their companions, emphasizing not abandoning or giving up.

Only the spirit pet in Zhao Zhengping's palm shows no movement at all, as if too lazy to bother with him.

Seeing Xu Jie and the three standing there dazed, Zhao Zhengping guessed what they were doing.

But the more this happened, the worse he felt in his heart, and he glanced at his own spirit pet with some dissatisfaction.

They are all subdued spirit pets; how come theirs get along so well, while mine is so aloof?

Unable to hold back, he gritted his teeth and said.

Look at others—don't you have anything to say to me?

Unfortunately, this spirit pet still gave no response, and even directly turned into a mark that entered Zhao Zhengping's body.

Only on the palm is there the imprint pattern of a small sapling.

Watching his own spirit pet ignore him and then vanish, Zhao Zhengping wore a complex expression—what kind of aloof thing has he collected, did he not choose well?

Xu Jie and the three were busy communicating with those Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, while Zhao Zhengping, bored out of his mind, simply found a spot and sat cross-legged.

After waiting for about half a Shíchén, Xu Jie and the three finally came to their senses one after another.

You guys finally finished; I couldn't wait any longer.

By the way, what did your spirit beasts say to you? Why does mine not pay attention to me at all?

Huh???

Just as they came to, they were met with Zhao Zhengping's rapid-fire questioning; hearing this, Xu Jie and the three all wore strange expressions.

Your spirit beast isn't paying attention to you?

Seeing Zhao Zhengping truly full of doubt, Xu Jie and the three couldn't help but worry for his future.

You can't even seize this opportunity that's been delivered to your lips; what will you do in the future?

After thinking, Xu Jie proactively patted Zhao Zhengping's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

Senior Brother, you don't need to worry about this; the junior disciples will handle it.

Yeah, Senior Brother, just take care of yourself.

We'll take care of everything.

Hearing the three's words, Zhao Zhengping felt deeply moved; what fine junior disciples!

He nodded with a relieved expression.

Mm, Senior Brother naturally trusts you, but what did you all just say?

Senior Brother, don't ask about things you shouldn't know.

Yeah, just leave this to us.

Saying this to Senior Brother is useless; even his spirit beast doesn't want to talk to him, so what's the point of saying it?

They will handle this matter themselves.

Hearing the three's words, Zhao Zhengping always felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint it; he could only nod blankly.

Afterward, the four put away their spirit beasts and prepared to leave; the commotion just now was not small, likely already attracting many people.

This matter must remain secret for now; otherwise, if those Heavenly Palace folks set their sights on us, it'll be trouble.

After all, spirit beasts such powerful companions—even the heavenly officials of Heavenly Palace would covet them; we must absolutely not let them be taken away.
