Chapter 222: The Villain with a Little Sister

Chapter 222: The Villain with a Little Sister

“?? Why do you know so much?”

“Because Ruo’er did her homework beforehand and asked Dong Xiyan about Zifeng Valley before coming here,” Ruo’er shook her big ears and smiled.

“Then which peak here is the highest?”

“Don’t know~”

“Where’s Tianluo River?”

“Don’t know~”

“Which immortals in Zifeng Valley are best at controlling Immortal Beasts?”

“Don’t know~”

“Then where is the best place for dual cultivation?”

“There’s a place called Yuhong Cave to the west, where there’s a Heavenly Lotus, rich in immortal energy and a beautiful quiet environment, perfect for cultivation~”

Ruo’er replied cheerfully.

Lin Nuo: “…”

Thinking to himself, is this what you call homework? Just knowing where’s good for dual cultivation?

0 points.

I, who have never been to Zifeng Valley, know of these famous places like Tianluo River.

By the way, where was Tianluo River again?

Oh, it seems that’s not part of Zifeng Valley, so never mind.

“Master, Master~ How about we give it a try~? Who knows, our cultivation might soar~?”

The only one soaring is you, while I’m the one getting hurt.

Lin Nuo gently tapped Ruo’er on the head:

“You’re here to cultivate immortality, not for dual cultivation. Focus first on the techniques Master Dong taught you; forget about the rest. If you try to dual cultivate while you’re still practicing, it could cause chaos in your meridians and lead you to go berserk.”

“That won’t happen, Lin Gongzi, you can rest assured.”

Dong Xiyan, who had been listening to Lin Nuo’s words, turned around and interjected.

Lin Nuo: “…”

If you keep quiet, people might think you’re mute.

So you understand dual cultivation? Old Immortal, have you ever done it?

“Focusing is always right; keep your attention on your immortal techniques.”

Lin Nuo continued, seriously stating that he dared not engage in dual cultivation, as he didn’t want to face the fact of being used as a furnace.

Walking past a cloud valley staircase, Ruo’er seemed a bit scared, tightly clutching Lin Nuo’s arm, worried about falling.

This Zifeng Valley does have some dangerous spots, but for them immortals, it’s no big deal. After all, they’ve achieved immortality, with exceptional lightness in their steps, and can summon the Spirit Sword to soar among the clouds.

Since it was Ruo’er’s first visit, and Dong Xiyan was certainly using her skills to create a Spirit Layer around, even if she slipped, she would be caught by the Spirit Layer.

Now Lin Nuo felt like he was taking a little sister to school, being followed closely by Ruo’er, inseparable.

A great villain reduced to babysitting a little sister, what kind of world is this?

Speaking of which, you’ll become a stunning Fox Fairy in the future; can you not be so embarrassing like that surname Su? Were you big shots like this before you rose up?

Oh, it seems like I was the same, so never mind.

“Master, Master~ Look, look~!”

“Got it.”

A few large Immortal Cranes were flying near the cloud valley staircase, these cranes were nothing like the ones at Han Fairy’s place, who just loafed around.

They flapped their pure white wings, light and carefree, elegant and generous.

“Master, these cranes are so majestic, so full of immortal energy~”

Ruo’er, like a little girl entering a city for the first time, really loved animal spirits, and upon seeing the Immortal Cranes of Zifeng Valley, couldn’t help but feel deeply moved, wishing she could pet and feed them.

“Yes, they’re quite plump,” Lin Nuo remarked.

“Ah, Master, you mean they’ve got a big frame?”

“Something like that.”

Not sure whether braised or steamed is better, but outdoor barbecues are pretty good.

Aside from the Immortal Cranes, there were plenty of other spirit beasts; Ruo’er saw the Jade Sky Dragon for the first time, a flying dragon that wasn’t particularly large, but it was majestic and powerful, occasionally letting out a crisp, melodious roar.

“Master, Master, look fast~!”

“Seen it, seen it, stop shouting.”

Lin Nuo was also helpless; Ruo’er had been like this the entire way, forgetting she came to cultivate immortality, not to visit a zoo.

After passing through the cloud valley staircase, they finally encountered a pavilion at the mountain peak, where Lin Nuo and the others met a slightly higher-ranking immortal.

There was an old immortal with gray hair and a somewhat haggard appearance. Based on his skincare skills, he could very well be a thousand-year-old immortal monster.

Lin Nuo had seen this immortal before. Most of the faces he encountered along the way were new, but upon reaching the higher echelon of immortals, it was indeed a familiar face.

In the previous life, he had fought him before, but back then, he hadn’t reached the peak of the demonic path and couldn’t defeat him, which was a regret.

“Xiyan, you brought guests? Are they your new disciples?”

The white-haired immortal, seeing Dong Xiyan approach, inquired proactively.

“Yes, but not all of them, Master. A while ago, I went to Tianling Mountain and the Xuanyun Sect, where I discovered a little girl named Ruo’er. Although her cultivation is low, she has an immortal root and great potential for becoming an immortal. I brought her here to see what you think, Master?”

“A descendant of the Immortal Fox lineage, quite good. In the past, Zifeng Valley had descendants of the Immortal Fox as well, who also reached high cultivation levels and contributed greatly after many years of exterminating demons. I trust your judgment; she can join.”

“Master, there’s one more thing. While she can tread the immortal path and cultivate in Zifeng Valley, she doesn’t belong to us but to this young master, named Lin Nuo.”

“Why?” the Old Immortal calmly asked.

“Because Ruo’er’s adoptive father is in debt, and she was pledged as collateral, but Lin Nuo managed to redeem her. So by rights, she belongs to Lin Nuo.

However, she will comply with the rules of Zifeng Valley and follow our commands.

It’s just that Lin Nuo believes she isn’t suitable and can take her away anytime. This is the recommendation letter co-signed by the elders of the Xuanyun Sect.”

After saying that, Dong Xiyan presented the letter to the old immortal, who glanced through it. Seeing the handwriting, he confirmed it was indeed written by the esteemed elders of the Xuanyun Sect.

In fact, some of the elders and respected masters in the Xuanyun Sect had previously cultivated but later joined or founded the sect to select disciples without immortal roots but with exceptional talents to one day help the world.

This was truly the first time the elders and respected masters of Xuanyun Sect jointly wrote a letter, making the old immortal somewhat puzzled as he scrutinized the young man named Lin Nuo.

Honestly, he didn’t exude any aura of power nor a strong spiritual presence, and as for concealed cultivation levels, he could see there were none.

So, this kid might really possess some extraordinary qualities?

This condition wasn’t unacceptable; at least it pleased him.

However, this person was a bit odd, sometimes focusing on aspects other than strength.

The old immortal spoke to Lin Nuo:

“Little brother, would you play a game of chess with me?”

There was a Go board on the table, and the old immortal was playing by himself.

“Sure.”

Lin Nuo sat directly opposite the old immortal and began to play, swiftly beating him without recognition of his own pieces.
