Chapter 430: Exit the Ruins

The voice disappeared soon after. The senior said, "He must have gone to tease your junior brother. You just keep walking."

Tao Zi agreed with a smile.

After the senior returned to the bracelet, Yue Qingya asked, "Why don't you just take his life? After all, if it's not you and me who do it, even if there are traces of spiritual power on him, it won't be our fault."

She spun the red bracelet around before saying, "I've always wondered why that person didn't just take my life, but used me like that."

Cheng Wuchou smiled and praised: "Why else, you are so capable."

Tao Zi shook her head and said, "In the face of absolute strength, my ability is nothing. I have always suspected that he has some reservations."

My brother immediately reacted: "Are you going to use Lan Yongji to test him?"

She admitted, "Lian Qingzhou is also disabled. Of the two disabled people, he should choose Lian Qingzhou, but Xu Qianjia may not agree. If he can't do it, then his concerns will be related to me. If he can't do it, wouldn't it be very interesting? Besides, I also want to see if Xu Qianjia will replace him as well if he insists on it."

Cheng Wuchou and the other man reacted immediately.

Yue Qingya asked, "Do you want to see a dog-eat-dog fight?"

The brother smiled and praised: "Azi's brain is really good."

Yue Qingya whispered, "Azi, why do I feel like your brother treats you like a child?"

Tao Zi replied in a voice transmission: "Maybe I was injured a while ago. I should be back to normal after a while."

He looked at Cheng Wuchou silently, then shifted his gaze.

Not long after, everyone from the Yisan Sect gathered together, and the Jindan who had been there before spoke up, "We really underestimated this relic. We almost failed to rescue people several times."

Tao Zi bowed and said solemnly, "This matter is really a bother for you all. Please go to Yisan Gate to rest for a while later."

He smiled and said, "You're very polite. Of course, we still have to go over there. If for no other reason than to see the little phoenix."

She naturally agreed.

Soon, the ruins began to shake, probably preparing to close, so they quickly left.

When they arrived outside the ruins, the people from the Minglan Sect had already left. The few physical cultivators who came out first hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to warn them, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, it seems that something big has happened to the Minglan Sect. They looked very unhappy when they left."

Zhou Qiandan thanked him with a smile and gave him a bag of spirit stones.

The physical cultivator accepted it immediately, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

After returning to Yisan Gate, a group of people surrounded Xiao Fenghuang. The expressions on their faces were extremely excited and vulgar, and the words they said were really disgusting.

Tao Zi's mouth twitched and she returned to the room.

The little fox looked at the group and muttered, "In the eyes of you humans, is the phoenix so rare? It's not even as good as the nine-tailed fox?"

She stared at the little fox for three seconds, then suddenly grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and carried it out, saying, "Anyone free? Come take a look at this little fox. It's jealous."

Little Fox: What the hell?

The little phoenix slowly turned its head, glanced at it with disdain, then turned back and continued to enjoy the praising eyes and words.

It's not jealous! It's just expressing doubts!

The little fox shook its body wildly, but couldn't break free from Tao Zi's hand.

By the time he broke free, he was surrounded by a group of people. One of them boasted solemnly, "Look at this fur, it's so white, just like the white cloth on the mourning hall."

The little fox stopped trying to jump out and stared at the man with wide eyes.

Tao Zi almost couldn't control her expression when she heard the compliment.

The man immediately realized something was wrong and changed his words, "No, I mean your fur is really white, so beautiful, like... uh, like the snow in winter!"

Li Xiu lowered her voice and said, "Why does this guy look like a thug who would molest decent women?"

My cousin Jiao'er, who was not far away, rolled on the ground laughing.

His companion frantically explained, "I'm sorry, my friend never thinks before he speaks. He definitely didn't mean to say that."

The Flower Monk said from a distance: "It's okay. I had the same feeling when I first saw the little fox. It was all white and not festive at all."

Tao Ziren smiled and said, "I'll go in and rest first, you guys take your time to enjoy it."

Not long after, there was a commotion outside, and it took a while for the noise to quiet down.

Tao Zi was sitting on a chair to rest when the little fox angrily banged the door open with his head and rushed in.

It jumped onto the table and tried to stretch out its claws to scratch her face, but Fate grabbed it by the scruff of the neck.

Cheng Wuchou held it up and said, "If you can't tame a fox, you'd better throw it away."

The little fox got angry: "It was obviously her who provoked me first."

"oh."

The pressure of Cheng Wuchou's Nascent Soul came directly across, and the little fox gritted its teeth silently, not seeming to be afraid at all.

He was surprised and said, "You are not bad as a fox."

Tao Zi smiled and took the little fox from his hands, stroking its fur and said, "Of course, it's a nine-tailed fox after all, how could it be afraid?"

The more she stroked its fur, the happier the little fox was. Later, when it was put on the ground, it realized what a stupid thing it had done and was so angry that it sharpened its claws on the corner of the table.

Cheng Wuchou casually said, "How old are you, fox? Why are you so childish?"

Tao Zi thought for a moment and said, "He should be quite old, but this temperament is innate and probably can't be changed."

The little fox choked, retracted its claws, and curled up to the side.

A smile rose in her eyes, but her tone remained calm: "Brother, what do you think of this matter?"

Cheng Wuchou said, "It must be the Minglan Sect that leaked the news, so those people chased them into the ruins. But this main peak has been against you time and time again. Aren't you tired? After all, you are from a big sect, and you don't have such a magnanimity."

Tao Zi spun the teacup in her hand and said, "The Minglan Sect is not qualified to compare with other sects. If there is any, it's that one Tianzun. As for Xu Qianjia, besides being narrow-minded, there is another important reason: he is afraid."

He frowned and asked, "What are you afraid of? He doesn't know your true identity."

"That's how he watched me climb up step by step, riding on the reputations of various geniuses." Tao Zi sighed, "If Qinglan hadn't suddenly become a Heavenly Venerable, I really wouldn't be able to keep up with his pace, and the Minglan Sect wouldn't be in such disarray now."

"We don't have a Heavenly Master here."

She smiled nonchalantly and said, "So what? He's still afraid."

Cheng Wuchou praised: "My sister is really amazing."

Tao Zi was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Brother, could you please stop using that childish tone? It's really weird."

He coughed and said, "Really? I didn't even notice. Try to be more careful."
