Chapter 419 Apology

Not long after the news of Tao Zi's awakening spread, Wang Xu came to look for her.

She sat on the headboard and asked, "Why is Young Master Wang here?"

Wang Xu said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Tao, you were able to bring me out under such circumstances. I owe you a favor."

Tao Zi was silent for a moment, feeling that the person in front of her might have imagined some extremely critical but absolutely wrong scenarios.

However, due to various considerations, she still smiled and said, "Master Wang, you are too polite. This is just a small favor."

He said, "That's true for you, but not for me. Your fame has greatly increased, but troubles are inevitable. The Sword Sect has already spread a lot of rumors to reduce people's attention on you, but there is one thing that requires your consent."

Tao Zi said, "Young Master Wang, please speak."

Wang Xu said solemnly, "I know I didn't contribute much in this training, but in order to reduce those people's attention on you, I have to grab some fame."

She immediately understood and said with a smile, "Young Master Wang, please do as you please."

In fact, even if Wangxu told the truth about the situation at that time, not many cultivators would believe it. Instead, it would bring her a lot of trouble. It would be better if Wangxu could divert some of the attention.

As for her reputation, it wouldn't be too low considering that she was the only one who walked out of the ruins soberly.

He then asked, "Fellow Daoist Tao, may I ask, is General Zhou truly gone?"

Tao Zi said: "He has indeed disappeared. He never intended to bring disaster to the world."

Wang Xu was stunned, but in the end, he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "One more thing. It's best not to leave the Sword Sect until you're well again. Too many people are watching you. Also, the Sword Sect will give you two fifth-grade medicinal pills and two seventh-grade spiritual swords as a token of gratitude to you and Cheng Zhenjun. They'll tell everyone it's an exchange of karmic connections."

Tao Zi didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

When he realized that he had almost finished talking, he stood up and left.

Cheng Wuchou suddenly stopped him and said, "Master Wang, do you have time? I have something to tell you."

Wangxu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Of course I'm free."

After both of them left, the little ghost appeared.

Tao Zi cast a soundproofing spell and then reminded him, "Be careful. You can't expose your face."

The little ghost curled his lips, not caring at all about what he said, and said, "Tao Zi, your limelight is about to be stolen."

She said, "Don't underestimate Wangxu's character."

The little ghost said, "Hmm?" and she continued, "Judging from Wangxu's personality, no matter how much he tries to steal the limelight, he won't take all the credit for himself. The one who gets the most attention will still be me, but Wangxu will make it seem reasonable so no one will be suspicious of my background."

"You really trust him. But speaking of this, Wang Xu didn't even ask you how General Zhou died. He's really patient."

Tao Zi smiled and said, "Unless the question is very important, he will never ask questions that he shouldn't ask."

"That really saves a lot of trouble."

She changed the subject and said, "Didn't you absorb the ghost of that deputy general? Why hasn't your strength improved much?"

The little ghost shrugged and said, "His strength is too strong. I can only seal it temporarily and absorb it slowly."

Tao Zi nodded to show that she understood.

The little ghost yawned and slowly returned to her sea of ​​consciousness to sleep.

It was not until this moment that she lowered her eyes to look at the red bracelet on her wrist. Inside was the soul of her predecessor, who had not appeared since she came out of the ruins.

After staring for a long time, the senior finally spoke, but the emotions in his voice were quite complicated: "Let me slow down for a moment, this is too outrageous."

Tao Zi withdrew her gaze and took out the concentric bracelet from the storage ring. As soon as she input the spiritual energy, she knew what she should do.

She cut her finger, squeezed out the blood and smeared it on the bracelet.

The bracelet emitted a faint light, followed by Li Xiu's heart-wrenching voice: "Tao Zi, Tao Zi! Can you hear me?"

Tao Zi: "...No need to be so loud, I can hear you."

He called out to her anxiously, "Come here quickly! Master Cheng is beating up Young Master Wang!"

"Huh???" She was confused and asked, "Where are they now?"

As soon as these words came out, she and Li Xiu immediately felt a connection. She followed the connection and found Axiong and Wangxu in the training ground. Li Xiu was far away, looking nervous.

Seeing the scene inside, Tao Zi was quite surprised.

There was no doubt that Wangxu was at a disadvantage, but he didn't even have the strength to fight back, which was a bit shocking. What was even more shocking was that the leader of the Sword Sect was actually watching from the side.

Tao Zi stood cautiously in the shadows, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."

The sect leader looked at her, nodded slightly, and continued, "There are more and more talented people among the independent cultivators. First, there was Master Yue, who was well-known, then there was Master Cheng, who was outstanding in strength, and now you should be included."

She lowered her eyes and said politely, "Master, you are too kind. I come from the Yisan Sect, not from a casual cultivator background. My talent cannot be compared with those of the two True Lords."

The sect leader said gently: "No, you are extremely talented, Miss Tao, perhaps you can change the situation of physical cultivation."

Tao Zi replied, "Master, please stop joking. I don't have the ability to do that."

While the two were talking, Wangxu had already been punched several times.

Li Xiu became more and more nervous. What was Cheng Wuchou doing? He was beating his disciple in front of a Mahayana cultivator. He had to hold back, right?

By the end, he was completely numb. Never mind. Didn't he see how calm Tao Zi was? Why was he panicking?

When Cheng Wuchou stopped, the sect leader smiled and said, "Master Cheng has amazing talent."

He responded calmly, "Master, you are too kind."

Wang Xu got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and said, "My skills are inferior to others, so I accept the loss."

He turned to look at Tao Zi, cupped his hands, and said, "It's my fault for injuring Miss Tao in the ruins."

Tao Zi was confused for a long time before she realized what he was referring to. She couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless as she said, "That time, I was the one who took action first, which forced Master Wang Shao to take action."

Wang Xu said, "That being said, I don't have the foresight to see that Miss Tao hasn't completely lost her mind."

Good eyesight... I always feel that these three words were said by my brother.

She wanted to speak more, but Cheng Wuchou said, "Azi, I have already apologized for you. This matter ends here."

Li Xiu rolled her eyes secretly. This matter has passed a long time ago, you just have to bring it up.

Tao Zi glanced away and found that the sect leader had left.

Wang Xu didn't pay attention to these things, and only said: "Everyone says that I am extremely talented and can be ranked in the top three among my peers in the world of immortal cultivation, but it seems that this is still overestimated."

Cheng Wuchou said with a smile: "Young Sect Master, don't underestimate yourself. There are not many people in this world of immortal cultivation who have higher talents than me."

Wangxu was silent for a moment, then smiled in agreement.
