Chapter 143: You Little
Chapter 143: You Little
Bai Xiaoyao was now in a daze.
What had just happened? Why did the thought of her senior brother being at the Wandering Immortal Inn suddenly pop into her head?
Could her senior brother really be at that inn?
Bai Xiaoyao began to recall the information she had gathered in the city during these days. When she had speculated on the true identity of the person playing behind the scenes and challenging her senior brother, she had also investigated various industries within the city.
Among this vast range of information, she quickly found details about the Wandering Immortal Inn.
But, from the information that I gathered, that place is just an ordinary inn'
At most, it carried the title as one of Green Province Martial Alliance establishments.
Bai Xiaoyao's eyes glinted.
As a demoness with knowledge of various special methods, she was well aware that her recent dizziness wasn't likely just a normal occurrence. Someone wanted to lure her to the Wandering Immortal Inn, using the information that her senior brother was there as bait.
This reminded her of the previous incident where she had been lured to the Red Blossom Pavilion with information about her senior brother's whereabouts.
Could it be the same person as the one from before? But why would they do this? What would they gain?
Previously, when she went to the Red Blossom Pavilion to find her senior brother, she had been on guard against the next move of the hidden person. However, in the end, she had safely found her senior brother.
Based on what her senior brother had said at the time, it should have been a simple mutual test between him and the other party. Her senior brother wanted to expose that person from the shadows, while that person used some tricks to retaliate in secret.
So, what about this time?
Should she go look for her senior brother now?
Bai Xiaoyao hesitated.
In reality, she leaned toward going to check right away, but there was another matter today
The next batch of disciples from the Demon Sect who were assigned to work in the Demon Artifact Pavilion and with the Artifact Refiners happened to arrive today.
The news of the changes at the Demon Artifact Pavilion had already spread to the Demon Sect, and there might be some opportunists among the first group of arrivals.
With her senior brother, who served as the pavilion master, absent, the few junior disciples in the pavilion wouldn't be able to handle those individuals. Moreover, the Foundation Building stage cultivators working in the Demon Artifact Pavilion were only there for specific reasons, and it wasn't suitable to involve them in Demon Sect matters.
In this situation, Bai Xiaoyao would have to step in to handle the situation.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bai Xiaoyao let out a soft sigh.
I'll wait until the matters at the Demon Artifact Pavilion are finished before I go there
At this moment, the day was beginning to break.
But inside the Wandering Immortal Inn, Luo Wusheng was finding it a bit difficult to discern the passage of time.
After all, the doors and windows of the room were tightly closed, and the only source of illumination came from the candle on the table. In truth, it was hard to judge the changing daylight from within the room.
However, Luo Wusheng's current state was relatively relaxed. Although he had been inexplicably sent to Little Yuli's room by Yue Xuanji and was now face to face with the girl in her stupor state, since he had prior experience in taking care of her during her episodes on the Sea-Crossing Boat. He managed to soothe her effectively.
After dressing Little Yuli in the white stockings he had prepared, he continued telling her stories, just as he had done on the ferry.
The young girl listened with enthusiasm, occasionally asking a few questions, all of which Luo Wusheng deftly addressed.
By now, the girl seemed a bit tired and drifted into slumber while tightly gripping Luo Wusheng's hand.
Luo Wusheng understood why she was feeling drowsy. The formation that Lu Yuliu had tailored for her was designed to draw the sword intent from her body. Within the formation, her willpower was gradually eroded, leading to drowsiness as a side effect.
Watching the little girl sleep with a satisfied smile on her face, Luo Wusheng shook his head and gently pushed aside some of the strands of hair that were obscuring the girl's extraordinary beauty.
He still didn't quite understand what Yue Xuanji wanted to do.
If his good fortune was indeed related to Little Yuli, something should have happened in the meantime.
He had been worried that a certain ice-cold beauty, presumably her master, would suddenly burst in and continue the lily-themed event that should have happened.
But with the little girl sound asleep, there was not a hint of commotion.
Could receiving my good fortune be this easy?'
If it were like so, then wouldn't obtaining this good fortune be too simple?
At most, when Little Yuli woke up, he would face a near-death experience with her, just like he did on the Crossing Sea Boat.
Well, he could make the first move after all, Lu Yuliu had mentioned that she was going out on a sect mission, but it now appeared that all the sect missions she said she wanted to do were just a cover.
"Tsk tsk, if it's really that simple"
Then, his plan was as solid as a rock.
However, Luo Wusheng was not blindly optimistic.
With a thought, the jade slip given to him by Yue Xuanji fell into his hand.
Since the Tower Master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics was personally preparing for this, it was probably not going to be as simple as it seemed.
He wondered what preparations were left on this jade slip.
Since a Tribulation Crossing expert was personally involved in this, there should be some mysterious methods that he did not understand had been used by her.
Thinking this, as long as that loli didn't betray him, he was still in a good position.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the jade slip in his hand.
Finally!
It seemed that soothing Little Yuli was indeed the first step in receiving his good fortune. Now, it was time to proceed to the next step!
Luo Wusheng straightened up slightly, wanting to see what changes had appeared on the jade slip.
But the jade slip was faster.
In the blink of an eye, a burst of blue light emerged from the jade slip and disappeared.
What was that blue light?'
Luo Wusheng had already prepared for another unexplained teleportation, but this time, he remained in place.
Puzzled, he probed the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness.
This time, the seal and mist inside the jade slip had only diminished slightly, not fully revealing the contents beneath the mist, just like the previous time.
But what was different this time was that Luo Wusheng's spiritual consciousness sensed something unusual.
There were three strange runes appearing on the jade slip.
Luo Wusheng paused for a moment but quickly delved into the first faintly glowing rune.
Then, he saw four images in his mind
The main characters in the images were four women.
The first were his Junior Sister, Bai Xiaoyao, the second one is the Immortal Nation Empress, the third is the Fox Demon Empress, and the last one is Yue Xuanji, the ancient white haired loli herself.
Well, the Demon Empress was still in her adorable demonic kitsune form.
In the images, the first three women appeared to be unaffected, as if they hadn't noticed the sudden burst of blue light. The little fox was hit while she was sleeping.
After that, the first two girls whispered Wandering Immortal Inn in confusion, and the little pink fox, after shaking her cute little head, woke up and murmured the same name softly.
And after seeing the content of the images, Luo Wusheng could only think one thing.
Yue Xuanji, you little-
