Xiaoyaozi was the founder of the Xiaoyao School.
It was through his accidental entry into the secret realm of the Yantian Sect that he obtained a portion of the sect's legacy, which led to the founding of the Xiaoyao Sect. After thousands of years of development, the Xiaoyao Sect has become a sect with an incredibly powerful foundation, one that even the imperial court greatly fears.
"Senior, um, are you really...?"
It's incredibly ironic that the founder of a sect is imprisoned in the very prison of the sect he founded.
Okay, I can't laugh. Even seniors have their pride.
Rong Xi tried to suppress her laughter, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her.
"Little girl, laugh if you want to!"
Xiaoyaozi's voice was indifferent: "I misjudged people and took in a wicked disciple. I deserve this retribution!"
“Senior, I am truly saddened by your misfortune. How could I possibly laugh at you?”
I'm a moral person with principles, and I would never build my happiness on the suffering of others.
"Senior, please wait a moment, I will release you right away!"
Rong Xi didn't care whether the skeleton was really Xiaoyaozi or whether he was lying to her. As the old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
This skeleton is imprisoned in the Free and Unfettered Sect's cell; it must be an enemy of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
Now that Rong Xi is being targeted by the Free and Unfettered Sect, she naturally hopes someone can help her cause them trouble. Don't be fooled by the Taotie protecting her; the Free and Unfettered Sect has survived since the Warring States period—are they easy to deal with?
Besides, she's a pregnant mother-to-be now, and prenatal education should include loving-kindness; indiscriminate killing isn't her style.
"Little girl, aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"
Upon hearing Rong Xi say that she would release him, the soul fire in the eye sockets of the skeleton trapped in the cell shone even more rapidly.
Why be afraid?
Rong Xi glanced at Xiaoyaozi, "My battle pet is quite powerful. Although your cultivation is not bad, senior, I'm not bragging, but you really are no match for my Five-Colored Spirit Sheep!"
"You little brat, you're not being honest!"
After hearing Rong Xi's words, Xiaoyaozi immediately snorted, "I am Xiaoyaozi, a man of great learning and knowledge. If I didn't even recognize Taotie, one of the Four Fiends of Antiquity, I might as well have just killed that wicked disciple back then!"
"You're amazing, senior!"
Rong Xi really didn't expect that Xiaoyaozi could recognize Taotie.
"Little girl, you don't need to flatter me!"
Xiaoyaozi snorted coldly again, "You saved me from my predicament, so I owe you a favor. Aside from not being able to take you as my disciple, even if you wanted to become the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, I could help you achieve it!"
"Senior, are you joking?"
Rong Xi also snorted, "To be honest, I am the current successor of the ancient Yantian Sect, and I bear the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Yantian Sect. Senior, you took part of the Yantian Sect's heritage to create the Xiaoyao Sect, and the entire Xiaoyao Sect should be an appendage of the Yantian Sect!"
"How is this possible?!"
The soul fire in Xiaoyaozi's eye sockets trembled violently, like a candle being blown out by a strong wind. The soul fire burned fiercely, as if it would be completely extinguished at any moment.
"How could you possibly answer all those questions in the entrance exam for the Yantian Sect?"
"I dare not say that my talent is the best in a thousand years, but it is certainly among the top three. And this is the result of my diligent study over a hundred years."
"How could a little girl like you possibly do that?"
"Senior, don't you know that there are people in this world who are called geniuses?"
"So-called genius is one percent effort and ninety-nine percent talent. Of course, those who are not geniuses will never understand just how terrifying geniuses are!"
Rong Xi was quite smug, hmm, showing off!
As a time traveler, Rong Xi was a top student standing on the shoulders of giants. Xiaoyaozi might have truly been exceptionally talented, but the overall level of the era he lived in was too low, and the knowledge base was insufficient.
This overwhelming level of knowledge across eras, this sense of superiority, is truly exhilarating!
"..."
Xiaoyaozi remained silent.
He was truly devastated by Rong Xi.
"Senior, are you alright?"
"Actually, you don't need to feel inferior. Really, your talent is quite good, although it's a bit inferior to that of younger generations!"
Rong Xi continued rambling.
Xiaoyaozi had lost interest in listening to Rong Xi's rambling. His skeletal body began to move, causing the black iron chains on his body to rattle.
"Little girl, didn't you want to rescue this old man?"
"Oh, okay, please wait a moment, senior!"
Rong Xi waved her hand, signaling the gluttons to start eating.
The black iron gate, devour it!
Black iron chains, devour them!
"Hahaha... I'm finally free!"
Xiaoyaozi, freed from his shackles and regaining his freedom, stood there excitedly shouting.
"Senior, um, we're still in jail, how are we going to get out of here?"
Rong Xi had no time to listen to Xiaoyaozi's sentimental musings; she had to get back quickly. Who knew what Consort Hui would do after teleporting her here?
This woman is absolutely insane!
She was a concubine of the Qing emperor, and her son was the eldest son of Kangxi. Although he was not named the crown prince, he was already a prince with the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage and was highly regarded by Kangxi.
Under such circumstances, Consort Hui was still able to betray the Qing Dynasty. Either Consort Hui was a member of the Free and Unfettered Faction from the very beginning, or Consort Hui had something very damaging about her that the Free and Unfettered Faction had in their hands.
Regardless of Consort Hui's relationship with the Xiaoyao Sect, it is a fact that she betrayed her and wanted to kill her.
