Led by Zi Yan, Lin Xiao soon arrived at the center of the Ninth Peak.

An old man was standing there quietly.

"Elder!" Lin Xiao called softly from afar.

"Lin Zhenchuan! This is what you requested. The Holy Lord and the others have prepared it for you in the shortest possible time."

As the elder spoke, he took out a storage ring.

His attitude was extremely respectful. After all, the news that Lin Xiao had been named a quasi-saint had spread throughout the entire elder circle. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the next Heavenly Evolution Saint.

Now, after the Tiannan Secret Realm incident, many sects have begun to appoint holy sons and Dao sons.

They are all preparing for the upcoming Hundred Sects Grand Competition.

Lin Xiao accepted the storage ring and nodded.

"Hmm! Very good, thank you for making this trip, Elder!" Lin Xiao's attitude remained unchanged, and he was still very respectful to these elders.

This pleased the elder before him greatly.

It's important to understand that many people undergo significant changes as their status rises.

However, it seems that Lin Xiao has not changed in this way.

"Alright, Lin Zhenchuan, I've taken care of things and need to return to report to the Holy Lord. I won't bother you any longer!"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Take care, Elder!"

Soon after seeing the elder off, Lin Xiao began to examine the storage ring in his hand.

Inside were the various medicinal herbs and beast essences he needed.

"Hey! It's no wonder that you have a powerful backer. You were able to gather so many precious items overnight."

Lin Xiao was very excited. With these materials, he could win the championship in the Hundred Sects Competition.

"Zi Yan, I'm going into seclusion for a while. Don't let anyone disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary!"

After arranging everything, Lin Xiao prepared to enter the secret chamber to begin her cultivation.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Lin Qing'er with a resentful look on her face.

"Senior Brother Lin, Qing'er waited for you all night last night. Where did you go?"

Hearing these resentful words, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered the promise he had made to Lin Qing'er yesterday.

He immediately gave an embarrassed laugh.

"I'm sorry, Qing'er, something unexpected happened at my place last night, so I'll have to postpone what I promised you."

"Take these things and use them to run the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce!"

As Lin Xiao spoke, he took out the Ten Thousand Year Purple Thunder Bamboo and other items from the small green bottle in his storage ring.

Lin Qing'er was also surprised when she saw these precious items.

However, the thought of being stood up last night and the man in front of her having an affair with another woman made her feel betrayed.

"Ahem! Qing'er, your senior brother will be going into seclusion for a while!"

"You should pay close attention to the person your senior brother is talking to next."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he described some characteristics of the protagonist of the destiny to Lin Qing'er.

After all, he didn't know how long he would be in seclusion. One or two months was enough time for a protagonist with great destiny to undergo tremendous changes.

The Tianyan Chamber of Commerce has now established a three-way balance of power in the Tiannan Dao Region, so he naturally wants to make good use of it.

If some of these protagonists of destiny grow up without his notice, and these protagonists of destiny are enemies of his, wouldn't that cause him trouble?

Lin Qing'er listened silently, feeling somewhat unwilling.

After all, he hadn't fulfilled the promise he made to her last night.

"Lin Qing'er, did you hear clearly what your senior brother told you?"

Seeing that Lin Qing'er did not answer, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and his tone became colder.

He had helped build up the Tianyan Chamber of Commerce; if anyone disobeyed, he could simply replace them.

He kept Lin Qing'er only because she was pleasing to the eye.

If someone takes advantage of his kindness and becomes overly friendly, then he should consider finding a replacement.

Lin Qing'er finally realized what was happening.

Her current status and position were all given to her by the man in front of her. What was she doing just now?

Lin Qing'er immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Senior Brother, Qing'er heard you clearly!"

"In that case, let's get on with it!"

Lin Xiao said calmly,

He looked at Lin Qing'er's departing figure with a strange expression.

"This girl is really strange. She won't listen to nice things, but she'll only do things if someone gives her a hard time. Could it be that she has some kind of special preference?"

Lin Xiao shook her head.

He turned and headed toward the secret chamber where he secluded himself.

"Senior brother!"

In front of the secret room, Wang Na blushed and didn't dare to look at Lin Xiao, but she greeted him as he passed by.

"Na'er, what's wrong with you today?" Lin Xiao asked, puzzled.

Why are all the people from the Ninth Peak acting so strangely today?

"You brat! What did you do last night? Na'er is still a child!"

Before Wang Na could answer, a sharp shout came from afar.

Wearing a long white dress with a red rope tied around her waist and bare feet, Liu Ruyan flew in from afar.

Upon arriving in front of Lin Xiao, he immediately gave him a lecture.

Holy crap, what's wrong with Liu Ruyan? Is she really that brave?

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded when he saw Liu Ruyan's temper towards him.

"You're sick!" Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at Liu Ruyan. She was still useful to him, so he kept her by his side for now. Otherwise, he would either kill her or throw her away.

Who gave them the right to act so presumptuously?

Ignoring Liu Ruyan for a moment, Lin Xiao spoke to Wang Na, who was standing to the side with her head down.

“Na’er, your senior brother is going into seclusion for a while. After he goes in, please set up a few ancient spirit-gathering arrays for him.”
