Chapter 523: Old Friends’ Hearts Change
"Senior Sister..." Li Fan looked at Senior Sister Zhao, who was about to be summoned by Master Ji alone and had a puzzled expression on her face, and was hesitant to speak.
"Hmm? Junior brother, what's wrong with you?" She glanced at Li Fan and said softly, "You and I have lived and died together for more than a hundred years. Is there anything that we can't tell each other?"
"Nothing." Li Fan smiled carefreely, "Senior sister, you can go ahead. Remember, no matter what you do, I will support you."
Senior Sister Zhao smiled and walked into the sect's main hall.
"boom!"
The heavy door slammed shut. Li Fan looked at Senior Sister Zhao's disappearing figure, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes that was not easily noticed by others.
Instead of waiting outside the hall, he returned to Penglai Peak where he and Senior Sister Zhao lived and looted all the valuable things in the cave.
Then he pretended to be on patrol and came to the exit of the sect protection formation.
Although his performance seemed no different from that of an ordinary disciple, Li Fan was actually ready to run away at any time.
It's not because Li Fan wants to betray the Da Dao Sect, but because...
During the hundred years at the foot of the mountain, Li Fan accidentally discovered that Senior Sister Zhao was secretly collecting the blood of cultivators and even mortals infected with the [Immortal Plague].
Although only one drop is taken each time, the action is extremely secretive.
But how could it escape the eyes of Li Fan, who he lives with day and night?
In the beginning, Sister Zhao would fall seriously ill every time after taking a blood sample.
Thanks to Li Fan's careful care and sufficient medicinal herbs to protect her body, she managed to survive safely.
Li Fan asked her the reason, but the senior sister just said jokingly that she also wanted to try to reverse the principle of [Immortal Plague] and directly achieve immortality.
Li Fan naturally didn't believe it.
However, knowing Senior Sister Zhao's personality, once she makes a decision, even he, her Taoist companion who has been with her for a hundred years, cannot persuade her to change her mind.
I simply didn't try to dissuade her and just told her, "Health is the most important thing."
Later, she seemed to really listen to Li Fan's advice and slowly stopped collecting blood samples.
The intervals between illnesses became shorter and shorter, and the symptoms of each infection became milder and milder.
But Li Fan knew that everything was an illusion.
Senior Sister Zhao never gave up her crazy behavior.
The reason why she seemed normal was that she had mastered a method to isolate herself from the influence of the [Immortal Plague]...
We have been staying in the same place all these years.
But Senior Sister Zhao’s cultivation was becoming more and more advanced, and she had grown to a point where even Li Fan couldn’t see through her.
The various auras that emanated from her inadvertently from time to time made Li Fan feel secretly frightened.
Even though he was certain that Senior Sister Zhao had no intention of hurting him, Li Fan still felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Although Senior Sister Zhao didn't say it, Li Fan could guess that she collected so much blood containing the power of [Immortal Plague] probably to deal with Ji Changxi, the head of the Da Dao Sect.
A hundred years of deliberate suppression had already pushed Senior Sister Zhao's dissatisfaction with the Sect Leader to the limit.
As the saying goes, "If anyone stands in my way, I will fight to the death."
Li Fan believed that it was not impossible for the crazy Senior Sister Zhao to do such a heinous thing.
The murderous intent that flashed across her eyes when she stepped into the sect's main hall not long ago was definitely not Li Fan's illusion.
"Although Ji Changxi has been in harmony with the Tao for more than 600 years, and his magical powers and magic are unfathomable, he is still not in the realm of immortality."
"Judging from the talent and actual combat capability displayed by Senior Sister Zhao, coupled with the help of [Immortal Plague], she may not be without a chance of winning."
"So what if it's just a narrow victory? Even if we kill Ji Changxi, we still have a dozen Hedao elders. We even have those two immortal gods who have been hiding from the world to support us."
"Is it possible to kill them all?"
Li Fan couldn't understand why Senior Sister Zhao made such a decision.
Whether successful or not, everyone in the Da Dao Sect will know about it.
At that time, not only will she have to face the siege of the entire sect, but Li Fan, Senior Sister Zhao's Taoist partner, will certainly not be spared.
So Li Fan, who was prepared for a rainy day, prepared to escape early.
As for why I haven’t left yet, it’s purely because I’m hoping to see if a miracle will happen.
Time passes by little by little.
Since Ji Changxi had given an order before, he and Daozi had important matters to discuss and no one could disturb them.
Therefore, the sect's main hall has been closed.
Li Fan looked at the top of the mountain from afar, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Seven days later.
The door of the hall slowly opened, and Li Fan's breathing suddenly stagnated.
However, something happened that was far beyond his expectations.
Ji Changxi was in front and Senior Sister Zhao was behind.
The two walked out together.
"The two of them didn't fight to the death? Am I overthinking?" Surprised, Li Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Not only did Senior Sister Zhao not fight to the death, but the relationship between the two seemed to be much more harmonious than before.
Even when she was leaving, Ji Changxi patted her on the shoulder to show encouragement.
And Senior Sister Zhao actually accepted it calmly, without any strange expression on her face.
Seeing this scene, Li Fan's heart was slightly shaken, and he was filled with many puzzles.
In the past, Senior Sister Zhao was very averse to physical contact between anyone other than herself.
And now...
Feeling something was wrong, many thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind.
But there was no time to think about it.
Li Fan first realized that he still had something to do.
He hurried back to Penglai Peak and put all the things back in place before Senior Sister Zhao returned.
When Senior Sister Zhao returned, she did not notice anything unusual in her own cave.
After all, the two of them haven't returned to this "home" for a hundred years.
"Senior Sister, we have been busy with trivial matters for a hundred years outside, and it seems that we haven't been intimate for a long time. How about..." Li Fan tentatively extended an invitation for dual cultivation.
A trace of nostalgia also flashed in Senior Sister Zhao's eyes, and she looked charming and readily agreed.
After a period of ecstasy, the doubts in Li Fan's heart gradually faded away.
"What is the matter that the master summoned you this time?" Li Fan asked casually while holding his senior sister's flawless body like white jade in his arms.
"He said that he will pass the position of the head of the Da Dao Sect to me soon. He asked me to prepare in advance." Senior Sister Zhao's tone was flat, without the slightest fluctuation.
It was as if what he was going to inherit was not the position of leader of the ten sects of the immortal way, but some toy for playing house.
But just this light, totally indifferent word, sounded like thunder in Li Fan's ears, causing his brain to buzz and temporarily lose the ability to think.
"What about the 'Zhu Tian Dao Jing'?" Li Fan, with a blank mind, couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
"Hehe, of course the master's exclusive skills should be given to me again to practice." As if taking back a beloved toy, Sister Zhao put her head on Li Fan's chest, her fingers constantly circling his heart, and said with a chuckle.
