Chapter 115 - 89 Yaoyao, Why Do You Always Want to Take Me to Little Spirit Peak? (6k)

"Big Senior Brother—"

Yan Xiaohu sat down with a face full of helplessness, causing Ghost Mastiff to burst into laughter.

"Just a joke. Anything interesting happen in the past few years? Do tell." Ghost Mastiff asked as he looked at the two.

Talkative Yan Xiaohu immediately became serious and began recounting the events after the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering: the disappearance of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect members, Cyan Ox Ridge, Cangyan Daoist Palace, Cyan Wood City, and the assassination attempts on them; he even mentioned Gao Xuan of Golden Sun Peak.

Ghost Mastiff’s face grew increasingly grave as he listened.

"I didn’t expect so much to happen during this time. I always knew Cangyan Daoist Palace harbored ambitions, but I never expected them to be exposed so soon. This is quite troublesome. Assassination, huh? Interesting. It’s disrespectful not to reciprocate; it’s time for me to go out for a trip!"

Ghost Mastiff’s face was filled with murderous intent as he spoke.

Zhou Qing, full of worry, hurriedly said, "Big Senior Brother, don’t act impulsively. They have already lost several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators over this matter. Your priority now should be to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm first."

Yan Xiaohu quickly chimed in to persuade him as well.

Ghost Mastiff took several large gulps from the wine jar before saying, "You don’t need to concern yourselves with this matter. Injuring my junior brothers cannot be let go easily. Master is Master, but I am myself."

The two of them exchanged glances, knowing they could no longer persuade him.

Big Senior Brother had always been one to advocate for fearlessness and action; perhaps this was a part of the realm he was cultivating.

Moreover, once he set his mind on something, it was hard to dissuade him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and moments later, Lu Yaoyao walked in, smiling.

Behind her was Shi Zhen, looking shy.

"Lu Yaoyao greets Senior Brother Gui!" Lu Yaoyao bowed as soon as she entered.

Ghost Mastiff looked her over and said, "You look unfamiliar. Are you Master’s newly accepted sixth disciple?"

"Yes, I’m honored to see Senior Brother Gui display his might today. It’s truly admirable," Lu Yaoyao praised first.

Ghost Mastiff burst into hearty laughter, "It’s nothing worth mentioning. Your Big Senior Brother is not much different. Ah, Shi is also here, please have a seat."

Zhou Qing quickly stood up and invited the two women to sit down.

Shi Zhen was so nervous that her face was flushed red, her head lowered.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu discreetly glanced at Big Senior Brother, who remained calm and composed, as if he were merely facing two ordinary junior sisters.

It was over; it seemed Shi Zhen was unrequited in her feelings.

Big Senior Brother currently had no interest in matters of romance.

So be it, let things unfold naturally. For someone like Big Senior Brother, having a group of admirers was only normal.

After all, in Master’s eyes, Big Senior Brother was always the child others envied. Especially when compared to them, the difference was even more apparent.

"It’s been a while, it looks like Shi’s cultivation is not far from the Nascent Soul Realm. Strive to break through soon."

Seeing Shi Zhen continually lower her head, Ghost Mastiff said with a smile.

Shi Zhen nodded repeatedly, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s, "Mm."

"Alright then, you all go ahead and eat. I figured Master is back on the mountain now, and I have something to discuss with him."

The next moment, Ghost Mastiff stood up.

Yan Xiaohu also said, "I need to check if I made a profit or a loss this time."

Seeing his two senior brothers about to leave, Zhou Qing didn’t want to stay here alone either.

"I just remembered; I forgot to feed the chickens before leaving this morning. Shi, Lu, why don’t you go ahead and eat? If it’s not enough, just order more and charge it to Third Senior Brother’s account."

After saying that, the three of them left together.

Lu Yaoyao opened her mouth, then quickly looked at Shi Zhen.

"Shi, didn’t you say you wanted to come to see Senior Brother Gui? Why haven’t you said anything?" Lu Yaoyao quickly asked.

Only then did Shi Zhen muster the courage to raise her head, biting her lip as she looked at the door.

"I... I don’t know."

Seeing Shi Zhen’s nervous demeanor, Lu Yaoyao sighed deeply.

She had thought Shi wanted to be the Prince Consort, but unexpectedly, she was infatuated with Senior Brother Gui.

They say courting a woman is like crossing a mountain, while courting a man is like parting a veil. Why not be more bold and express your feelings courageously?

Senior Brother Gui is such an outstanding person; wouldn’t it be a pity to miss the chance?

......

The three brothers had just returned to the foot of Little Spirit Peak when they saw Mo Xingjian waiting for them with a wide smile.

"It looks like you’ll soon catch up to your master!" Mo Xingjian remarked as he looked at Ghost Mastiff with more satisfaction.

He was also very impressed by Fourth Brother Zhou Qing’s wisdom displayed during their trip to Cyan Wood City.

Except for Third Brother, who constantly obsessed over money, becoming increasingly fixated on wealth.

After some contemplation, Ghost Mastiff said, "Master, I want to go out and travel for a while, and by the way, look for Second Junior Sister."

Mo Xingjian looked at Ghost Mastiff’s determined eyes, seemingly understanding something.

It seemed Big Senior Brother’s transformation to the Divinity Stage was imminent.

"Good, Second Sister has been missing for so long, I am also very worried. Having you with her will set my mind at ease." Mo Xingjian agreed immediately.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu quickly said, "Master, I also want to go out with Big Senior Brother to get a feel for things; maybe I too can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm..."

"Forget it; you and Fourth Brother stay home and don’t cause any trouble!" Mo Xingjian flatly refused.

Yan Xiaohu, feeling indignant, replied, "You’re treating us differently!"

"Absolutely, got a problem?"

"No!"

......

Big Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff was an impatient person. He left quietly before nightfall.

However, before leaving, he did ask Mo Xingjian for a map detailing the power distribution of Cangyan Daoist Palace, especially the locations of their resource veins.
