Chapter 1447: Good Brothers

In the mountain forest, in another direction.

Xu Que listened to Er Gouzi's voice echoing and raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

Little Gou Zi, playing with me? You're still far off!

"Kid, hurry up and come out. We were inseparable in our previous life. Do you have the heart to watch this God Venerable be bullied?" Er Gouzi's voice echoed in the mountain forest again.

Xu Que shook his head, smiled without saying a word. Hearing it, he knew this guy wanted to lure him into responding, lock onto his position, drag him into the water, and then take the opportunity to escape.

"Ah, Brother Xu, hurry up and come out!"

"Brother Ba, have you forgotten Gou Zi?"

"Do you still remember the days when we fought side by side?"

Er Gouzi continued to shout, trying to use Xu Que's previous words to influence Xu Que.

Xu Que didn't feel moved at all after hearing it, and even felt a bit like laughing... pfft, sorry, couldn't hold it back, laughed out loud!

However, he really didn't intend to just watch Er Gouzi be chased and killed by Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

Originally, he had planned to use an Immortal-grade Divine Movement Escape Talisman to take Er Gouzi and run, but to guard against Er Gouzi, Xu Que decided to change his approach.

So from the beginning, he had already started preparing to set up an array, setting up illusion arrays in a small part of the mountain forest. Although this couldn't completely trap Xuan Yuan Wanrong and the others, it still brought considerable trouble to her and the Heavenly Palace Academy disciples.

It was precisely because of this that Er Gouzi had the time to play tricks and shout for Xu Que to come out, otherwise it would have been caught up by Xuan Yuan Wanrong and the others and beaten in a group.

And Er Gouzi also noticed something wrong while running. The murderous intent of Xuan Yuan Wanrong and the Heavenly Palace Academy disciples was getting further and further away, and it was even starting to become a bit impossible to sense.

In this situation, there were only two possibilities.

Either Xuan Yuan Wanrong and the others were too powerful and could hide their murderous intent to such a perfect degree.

Or the distance between the two sides had been pulled far enough for the murderous intent to gradually disappear from their senses.

"Eh, illusion array?"

Er Gouzi couldn't help but glance back and instantly discovered the Immortal Yuan fluctuations caused by the array, and even recognized that they were illusion arrays.

"Gou Zi, hurry up and come over!" Almost simultaneously, Xu Que's voice sounded.

Er Gouzi's eyes lit up: "Holy shit, not bad, big brother!"

With a "whoosh," it rushed toward Xu Que's direction rapidly.

Before long, the two met again and held each other's hands tightly.

"Brother Ba!"

"Gou Zi!"

Xu Que and Er Gouzi both looked like they were loyal and devoted to each other, shouting in unison: "Good brothers!"

"I was really scared to death just now, thinking Brother Xu had betrayed me, so I said some impulsive words. I hope brother doesn't mind!" Er Gouzi explained without shame.

"Fool, how could I mind? The situation was too critical just now, so I didn't have time to explain the plan to you. Don't mind it, Brother Gou Zi!" Xu Que smiled generously.

"As expected of this God Venerable's good brother. Let's go, let's leave this place first!"

After Er Gouzi finished speaking, it took the lead, clearly very familiar with this mountain forest.

However, after walking a few steps, it said again: "By the way, Brother Xu, let's discuss something!"

"What is it?" Xu Que asked.

"In the previous life, you called me Gou Zi, and I called you Brother Ba. In this life, you look so much younger than this God Venerable. Why don't we change this form of address?"

"How do you want to change it?"

"Although this God Venerable is a few thousand years older than you in this life, given our friendship, let's address each other as peers and call each other by name, how about that?"

"That's fine!"

"Good, Brother Xu is straightforward, then it's settled. From now on, you call this God Venerable Mighty King, and this God Venerable will call you Baba!"

"No problem, Mighty King!"

"Great, Baba!"

Er Gouzi was instantly beaming with joy, its heart blooming; finally, it didn't have to call anyone 'brother' anymore!

Before long, Xu Que and Er Gouzi finally stepped out of the mountain forest and quickly covered their auras to avoid being tracked by Xuan Yuan Wanrong and the others again.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Er Gouzi immediately took out a palm-sized array disk from its arms and started fiddling with it on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Xu Que asked with a smile.

"Hmph, this God Venerable has always been someone who repays grudges. Those people from the Heavenly Palace Academy dared to slander this God Venerable for stealing chickens and dogs, so this God Venerable is preparing to sneak into their treasure vault and carry out a fierce retaliatory strike!" Er Gouzi said righteously.

"Pfft, I happen to be planning to go to the Heavenly Palace Academy as well. Why don't we cooperate?" Xu Que smiled.

"Cooperate? How to cooperate?" Er Gouzi became interested.

"As far as I know, they are holding a Recruitment Conference today. I happen to have a Recruitment Order, so I'll go to the Recruitment Conference to cause trouble and attract attention. When the time comes, you enter the treasure vault, and won't you be able to..."

"Do whatever I want!" Er Gouzi smiled roguishly, taking over the four words Xu Que hadn't finished saying.

"Exactly. But for the loot from this treasure vault, are we going to follow the old rules, or set a new rule?" Xu Que asked with a smile.

"Old rules?" Er Gouzi was stunned.

"It's the rules from the previous life, a one-nine split, you get one, I get nine!" Xu Que responded.

"Grass!" Er Gouzi jumped up in excitement: "Impossible, we must set a new rule!"

"Then a two-eight split? You get two, I get eight?"

"Damn, kid, are you this black-hearted? Let's be fair, how about a five-five split?"

"Five-five?" Xu Que hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Fine, after all, this is our first cooperation in this life, so let's split it five-five!"

"Good brother!" Er Gouzi revealed a full smile again.

Five-five split? Keep dreaming. When the time comes, this God Venerable will empty the treasure vault and slip away directly.

Soon, the two separated. Er Gouzi fiddled with the teleportation array, preparing to teleport directly into the Heavenly Palace Academy's treasure vault.

Xu Que set off on his own, detoured to the other side of the mountain forest, and simultaneously used the Disguise Puppet again, turning into the appearance of the handsome man in white robes from before, carrying the Recruitment Order, and stepped onto the stone steps leading to the Heavenly Palace Academy's mountain gate.

With the Disguise Puppet, Xu Que's aura and appearance had completely changed.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal guarding the mountain gate didn't recognize Xu Que, but sensed the aura of the Recruitment Order on Xu Que, and didn't release his pressure to stop Xu Que.

It was only when Xu Que arrived in front of the mountain gate that a burly man walked out and blocked his way: "Fellow Daoist, please stay, report your identity first!"

Clearly, this burly man was the Great Luo Golden Immortal guarding the mountain gate.

Xu Que smiled slightly, bowed politely: "I am Thanos of the Zha Tian Bang!"

"Thanos?" The burly man frowned. He didn't think the name was strange, but felt that this name didn't quite match the image of the handsome young man before him.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, waved his hand, directly took away the Recruitment Order in Xu Que's hand, took out a jade token from thin air, carved the two characters "Thanos" on it, and threw it to Xu Que.

"Go in, go straight and turn right, someone will take you to the Martial Arts Field to report."

"Many thanks, Senior Brother!" Xu Que took the jade token, bowed in thanks, and continued: "By the way, Senior Brother, just now when I was coming up the mountain, I inadvertently saw a Qilin named Mighty King fiddling with a teleportation array, saying it was preparing to sneak into the Heavenly Palace Academy's treasure vault to steal."
