He accepted the departure of his junior brothers and sisters without hesitation and never thought of stopping them.
On the contrary, he seemed to care more about their happiness and felt quite content.
Xi Wu Daozun moved the corners of his mouth, but said nothing more, only turning back to look in the direction of Shen Wangshu.
Little did they know that Xiao Xuan's nine tails were furious!
He had planned everything perfectly. Shen Wangshu had already acknowledged their relationship, so they could have a bright future together. They could at least find a blessed land to cultivate together for a hundred years or so to celebrate. But who knew that Daoist Xiwu was like a persistent ghost, clinging to them like this.
Just thinking about this made Xiao Xuan so angry that his tail hurt.
His menacing face was contorted with malice as he stared intently at the shameless Xi Wu Dao Zun, then turned to look at Shen Wang Shu with pitiful eyes, trying to elicit sympathy.
Shen Wangshu suppressed a laugh and touched his pointed ears, nodded slightly to Xi Wu Daojun, and turned to Xiao Hei to ask gently, "Now that you have acknowledged your identity, will you return to the Fox Clan?"
The black-haired woman, who was basking in her boundless glory, paused slightly upon hearing this.
She was originally the Fox Queen of the Fox Clan. Although she had seized power while Xiao Xuan was away, it still required considerable strength to do so. The Fox Clan was an inseparable part of her. She hesitated, her ears twitching, wanting to say she would return to the Fox Clan, but seeing the dim look in Xi Wu Dao Jun's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to speak. She stood helplessly in mid-air, her usually fierce gaze now filled with utter confusion. Her spiritual energy connection failed, and she suddenly transformed back into a dark, shadowy fox. She floated in the sky, bewildered, for a long time before finally drooping her little head in defeat.
With such limited cultivation, what's the point of going back? To become a burden to the fox clan?
It felt itself being lifted up by a pair of gentle hands, let out a soft hum, and wrapped its tail around the young man's wrist.
It seems that the only place where one can truly find peace and tranquility is beside this young man.
"How was it?" Xi Wu Daojun felt relieved and raised an eyebrow at Shen Wangshu.
Shen Wangshu looked at the black fox, who clearly didn't know it had fallen into a wolf's den. Seeing its bewildered and confused state, it was truly pitiful. However, this pity only lasted for a moment before Shen Wangshu looked at Xi Wu Daojun questioningly.
"Wherever Junior Sister goes, I'll go too for now." Daoist Xiwu was already homeless and felt it was safer to stay by Shen Wangshu's side.
Is it really only half a step into Mahayana Buddhism?
Xiao Xuan's tail hurt even more.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at the annoying human cultivator. Seeing Shen Wangshu's pensive expression, he knew that she was particularly close to Daoist Xiwu. He narrowed his eyes and noticed that Shen Wangshu didn't seem to pay much attention to him anymore. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly looked in the direction of the Guangming Sect Master.
He looked at the old man and suddenly revealed a wicked smile. He used his spiritual power to send his voice into the old man's ear, and murmured a few words. Sure enough, the old man's expression changed drastically, and he looked at him with a panicked and nervous expression. Just as Shen Wangshu turned to leave, the old man suddenly shouted loudly, "Junior sister, wait for me!"
He ripped off the Taoist robe that symbolized his status as the sect leader, and staggered after Shen Wangshu, riding a beam of spiritual light.
He so easily relinquished his identity as the sect leader.
Shen Wangshu stopped and looked in the direction of the old man.
She was naturally delighted that the old man was able to leave his position as sect leader, which bound him, and to leave behind these heartless and ungrateful fellow disciples of the Guangming Sect, but she was also somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Xuan flew triumphantly to her feet and boasted, "I persuaded him."
"Well done." Shen Wangshu raised an eyebrow and refocused her gaze on Xiao Xuan.
The youth's nine fluffy tails danced with satisfaction, clearly pleased that he had drawn Shen Wangshu's attention back to him, and subtly showing off to Daoist Xiwu.
"But how did you persuade him?"
Xiao Xuan immediately smiled smugly.
He subtly threatened the old man that he wasn't particularly fond of her, but who knew the old man would believe him and eagerly follow him?
However, this result is really good. Not only does his Shushu look at him with new respect, but even in order to keep this sentimental and cunning fox by Shushu's side, this old man has to keep an eye on Daoist Xiwu and make sure he doesn't wander around in front of him too much.
Lord Tianhu felt he had killed two birds with one stone. When he turned around, he met a pair of old, worried eyes. The old man was worried that Shen Wangshu might not be truly sincere towards Tianhu and was feeling sad. He kept his worries to himself but tried his best to follow behind Shen Wangshu, telling her not to neglect Xiao Xuan.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he and Xiao Xuan were a great couple.
"What's wrong with Master Brother?" Xi Wu Daojun, unaware of Xiao Xuan's mischief, flew over curiously while holding Xiao Hei.
The resignation of the Guangming Sect leader was less shocking than the emergence of two great cultivators who broke out of the sect.
After all, the sect leader is gone, so it's fine to just replace him with someone else. What's the big deal?
The sect leader of Guangming Sect hesitated, but seeing that Daoist Xiwu seemed to want to fly over and get close to Shen Wangshu, he hurriedly grabbed him and said with a stern face, "You also have a fox spirit now! What are you doing, pulling and tugging at your junior sister?"
Xi Wu Daojun's lips twitched. He looked down at the black fox, who was indeed very dissatisfied and looked fierce, and found that what his senior brother said made a lot of sense.
After all, they're both involved with foxes, so even if they're fellow disciples, they should still be discreet.
"However, I am truly surprised that Senior Brother Headmaster left so decisively." This old man had just been looking like he was risking his life for the sect, but who knew that he would chase after them and run away in the blink of an eye, abandoning the entire sect. Daoist Xiwu could imagine how chaotic the Guangming Sect would be without its wise and insightful Headmaster.
