The Immortal Path of the White Lotus Slowly Unfolds Volume 1 Chapter 113: Stirring Up Trouble

  After Xiao Yao left, the maid slowly pulled open the pearl curtain, and then only Kong Yao was left in the room with a gloomy face sitting on the couch, with Xue Wu still standing beside him.

  But he saw him lightly tapping on the bed frame and asked: "Having listened for so long, what do you think of this girl?"

  "The subordinate thinks this woman is weak and incompetent, it's really hard to entrust her with important tasks."

  "Oh? What did you say?" Kong Yao slightly raised his chin and glanced at him sideways.

  The owl-faced man showed a look of disdain: "Those four monsters were not good companions to begin with, she said it was just a coincidence that they dispersed. Following the previous example, this girl is likely to be dumped by them as soon as she enters the inner island. Unfortunately, she is timid and cowardly, and does not dare to venture into the inner island again. She can only return in defeat, such a person is absolutely useless."

  Kong Yao didn't comment, only slightly curling up the corner of his lips: "Does the swallow think she's weak? But do you still remember the first day Rabbit brought her here? I ordered you to dig out her eyes. If she were a weak and incompetent person, how could she have resisted at that time? When I looked at her then, there wasn't even a hint of fear."

  The owl thought back to that day, this female demon was indeed fierce and powerful, and had even blocked his attack. "So... what does the leader mean?"

  "Take another look," Kong Yaoming's bright face was shrouded in a faint shadow, "You also know that the last two hundred years of dispatching people to follow the four demons were all destroyed, and the unnamed island is no exception. The number of people on the island is difficult to increase, and losing one talented person will weaken the strength of the sect by one point. The other three factions are not vegetarian either, and now we have already lost a lot of our sect's members. This is the time to use people, that female demon's cultivation is not high, but she can safely spend two years on the inner island, I don't believe it's just her good luck, there must be something special about her. To put it bluntly, she is hiding her true intentions in order not to offend either side, but where is such a good thing in this world? The ugly words have already been said, let's see how she chooses next."

  "Leader's words make sense. I think if you want to control this woman, next time we can send someone to secretly follow her. Following the Four Evils is not easy, but following this female evil spirit shouldn't be a difficult task. We can also take the opportunity to see what abilities she has that allow her to stand firm on the island."

  "Recently, the cleverness of the magpie has grown, this idea is not bad, in fact I also have this intention." Kong Yaomei's eyes flashed with approval: "Since you proposed it first, then you will take charge of arranging it personally, just don't send too many people, one person is enough. If things are done well, there will be a heavy reward."

  The owl was overjoyed to have gained the master's appreciation, and upon hearing that there would be a reward, he knelt down in gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I will not disappoint your expectations!"

  According to the rules of the Purple Jade Pavilion, anyone returning from the inner island to the city must hand over the nameless fruit obtained in the warehouse and undergo a check by the Heavenly Eye. Xiao Yao entered the warehouse with empty hands, turned around in a circle, and then walked out leisurely under the gaze of the warehouse manager's disdain, arriving at the Nameless City Concentration Area.

  Although there is a fixed position for the ghost now and no need to buy another array disk, Xiao Yao still wants to go to the market to see if there are any good things.

  After a day of visiting several shops, she only received some refining equipment and materials, but didn't see anything particularly interesting. She also saw a few good things, but they weren't very useful to her.

  Xiao Yao also knew that she had never been lucky, and it was unlikely that anything good would happen to her, so she wasn't disappointed. After strolling around until nightfall, she came to a place not far from the four demons' hut, took out "Shen Xi" and began to cultivate, waiting for the four demons to return.

  More than three months have passed since then. On this day, Xiao Yao had just finished a week of meditation when he saw the four demons walking towards him from afar with an air of confidence and joy, even Ba Shu's face looked less gloomy than usual, it was clear that they were in high spirits.

  As the four demons walked up, only to hear Xiong Lao San excitedly and enviously say: "Congratulations, Big Brother's cultivation has taken another step forward! As long as you continue to take the demon spirit pill, I believe that Big Brother will soon be able to break through the Refining Form stage! At that time, this unnamed island will no longer be the four major factions, but will become the five major factions!"

  "Big mouth! Aren't you afraid of being overheard?" Wang Ermao lightly rebuked, but it was clear that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were joyful, and there wasn't a hint of blame in his tone. "Don't look at it as just a small boundary, to reach the final step will take at least 30,000 to 40,000 years, not to mention having to survive the four-nine heavenly tribulations. You should know that only one or two out of ten thousand can survive the heavenly tribulations, truly a one in ten thousand chance. How could it be so simple for you to just break through with one sentence?"

  Xiong Lao San was puzzled, Big Brother seemed to be enjoying himself, but the words he spoke were self-deprecating, and all he did was chuckle and say: "I don't know about others, but Big Brother will definitely make it!"

  "I hope to accept San Di's auspicious words." In fact, he was quite pleased, and it would be a lie to say otherwise. Wang Ermao's lips curled up slightly at the corners, and even his ugly face looked more pleasant when he was in high spirits. "Alright, let's drop this topic for now. Let's take a break and then head to Piaomiao Palace. We must be on our guard and not let them notice anything amiss."

  "Big brother." Although big brother was in a good mood at the moment, Hou Lao Er hesitated for a moment before asking: "Do you think that female demon is already..."

  Wang Erma's face sank, and her good mood was instantly halved. "First go to Piaoyu Palace, then investigate in the city later. If someone has returned, there will be people who have seen them."

  Si Yao narrowed her eyes and withdrew her "divine breath", coming to the front of the thatched cottage, but not entering, instead standing quietly at the entrance.

  Half a time later, the four demons came out and saw this scene: A woman in a plain white Taoist robe was standing at the door with her hands behind her back, smiling at them. Her eyebrows were curved, her lips slightly raised, and although she had a gentle temperament, she made the four demons feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

  "You..."

  Xiong Lao San was about to speak when Xiao Yao preempted him, saying: "The four fellow Taoists have finally returned. I've been idle for three months now. When will the next task be?"

  Wang Er's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and the remaining good mood also dissipated at this moment. He couldn't help but sneer in his tone: "Hmph, are you sure you still want to follow us on this mission? You can't even keep up with our pace, let alone complete the task?"

  Xiao Yao still had a smile on her face, "This... if I don't go, the leader will punish me. Earlier he called me over and scolded me, telling me to follow the four seniors closely from now on and not be lazy, it's best if I can become their helper."

  Her tone was difficult, but the expression on her face seemed a bit rogue, was this to threaten them by moving out the leader? Thinking that it might be Kong Yao's order, Wang Ermazi was furious and laughed: "Good! Since you have such determination, the leader will help you, how can we not recognize the favor. The next task will still use the transmission symbol to notify, wait for the news!"

  After finishing speaking, he swung his hand and took three other demons away with him.

  Xiao Yao watched from behind, her heart filled with joy. She thought to herself: Since you all like to fight secretly, then go ahead and fight to your hearts' content! Since we've all been dragged into the water by you, let's just stir it up even more!

  The author has something to say: shrinking is also an update. The line has been set up and now it's time for a fast forward. High tide, climax is coming.
