Chapter 423
The meal was a chaotic one. When Cui Yuankui and Zhong Xian were about to ask Yu Xi if he wanted to look around, a servant rushed in anxiously and said,
"Sir, someone from the Immortal Sect has arrived! They are waiting for you outside the city!"
Zhong Xian's face changed slightly when he heard this. He stood up and was about to walk out immediately.
The arrival of people from the Immortal Sect is a major event and must be welcomed with great ceremony.
According to the rules set by the royal family and the immortal sect, they need to set up an incense table outside the city gate before the people from the immortal sect arrive, burn incense in advance and wait for the immortals.
Although Cui Yuankui was also a cultivator from the immortal sect, he had skipped this troublesome step early on because he and Zhong Xian were good friends and brothers.
But after taking two steps, Zhong Xian quickly realized that what he was wearing was not formal enough, so he turned back to change his clothes first.
"Aren't they just here to cause trouble?"
Seeing this, Qing Pei said angrily, "Without any prior notice, they suddenly waited outside in such a blatant manner. This is clearly putting a label of frivolity and disrespect on Brother Wen Yu!"
Cui Yuankui pondered and said, "They are not friendly. Wen Yu and I will go and take a look. Qingpei, you go back and hide with your people first."
Qing Pei nodded when he heard this, and stood up to leave. His eyes fell on Yu Xi again: "Then she——"
"I'm with my brother."
Yu Xi grabbed Cui Yuankui's arm with a slap.
Are you kidding? She entered the secret realm just to find out what happened to Zhong Xian. Why would she hide at this time?
Cui Yuankui swung his arm with a stern face, but it didn't come down.
He could only lower his voice and coax Yu Xi like a child:
"Stop making trouble. Go hide with Qingpei. I'll buy you some candy when I come back."
Yu Xi shook her head and refused to come down: "I don't want to hide. I haven't seen what an immortal looks like yet. I want to go and see. Can't I just take a look?"
Cui Yuankui glanced at her sideways: "If you want to see the immortal, why don't you just look at me?"
Oh yes, Cui Yuankui is also a cultivator from the immortal sect.
When Yu Xi saw that his nonsense was exposed on the spot, he did not blush, but changed his strategy and rushed up Cui Yuankui's arm, whispering in Cui Yuankui's ear:
"Brother Yuan Kui, if I tell you that only by going there can I save the person I mentioned before, will you agree to let me go?"
If soft tactics don't work, she'll just go for it. If Cui Yuankui doesn't want her to go, then she can only sneak over there.
Cui Yuankui was stunned when he heard this. Seeing Yu Xi's serious expression and eager eyes, he couldn't help but smile half-heartedly and said, "Little sister, seeing you like this, I really doubt whether I am returning to my heart and am just a part of someone's memory."
Yu Xi was stunned when Cui Yuankui suddenly revealed the truth.
She suddenly realized that Cui Yuankui was the most understanding and might be able to understand her situation.
Although it was a bit cruel, she still tentatively replied softly:
"What if that's it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Yuankui rubbed his head.
"How is that possible?" Cui Yuankui smiled and shook his head, "I wouldn't lock a little girl like you in my eyes."
Cui Yuankui didn't even reply to Xi. He took her down from his shoulders, looked at her fox ears carefully and said:
"You can go, but you can't go like this. Otherwise, if the monks find out you're half-demon, they'll capture you right away. Do you believe it?"
Yu Xi subconsciously touched her wrist, only to remember that there was no magic weapon in the secret realm that her mother left for her to hide her ears and tail.
The characteristics of a half-demon cannot be hidden by ordinary magic, but they can be found if you look carefully.
For example, when she joined the Xuyun Sect in her previous life, the sect directly cut off her ears. Rather than trying to hide her demon characteristics, it was more of a humiliation and bullying.
Cui Yuankui had an idea at this moment. He took out a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on Yu Xi's forehead. After mumbling a long string of incantations, he lightly tapped Yu Xi's forehead and said:
"This talisman can hide your half-demon characteristics, but you must follow me closely from now on. Otherwise, if we get separated, the talisman will become ineffective without my spiritual power. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Yu Xi nodded immediately.
Only then did Cui Yuankui inject his spiritual power into the talisman paper on her forehead.
Yu Xi originally thought that she would turn into an ordinary human this time, but as spiritual power was injected into the talisman paper, her vision became lower and lower, and then she found that her two hands had turned into fox paws.
She actually turned into a little fox!
"嘤嘤!"
She spun in circles and screamed.
How did it turn into a fox!
I can't even speak!
Cui Yuankui saw that she was so angry that her hair stood on end. She was not used to walking on four legs and even stumbled after walking a few times. He put her on his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Well, this way you can't tell you're a half-demon. This is what you asked for, little sister. It's no use biting my hair."
Qingpei's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but touch Yu Xi's fox fur.
Wow, sister fox!
I really want to raise it!
Yu Xi turned around and bit him in anger.
Zhong Xian quickly changed his clothes and came out, only to find that Xiao Xier was gone, but there was a white-haired fox on Cui Yuankui's shoulder.
The fox bit Qingpei and Cui Yuankui at intervals, and the two of them were enjoying it, not dodging or evading, teasing her to bite them.
The fox was so angry that he cried to the sky.
"This is my little sister."
Cui Yuankui kindly explained to Zhong Xian.
Originally, because of the sudden arrival of the Immortal Sect, everyone was in a bad mood, and Zhong Xian was also worried. Now seeing Yu Xi so angry, Zhong Xian suddenly couldn't hold it anymore and made an unkind "puff" sound.
Yu Xi had never really been a fox since she could remember. She had no idea how to walk on four legs, and she couldn't even run. Now she was being laughed at by Zhong Xian and the others, and she immediately lost face and simply lay down on Cui Yuankui's shoulder.
Forget it, just be a fox, as long as I can follow Zhong Xian and the others.
"We were wrong. We won't bully you anymore."
Upon seeing this, Cui Yuankui immediately slid down to his knees and apologized. When he saw Yu Xi squinting her eyes and glaring at him sinisterly, he coughed lightly and signaled Zhong Xian to leave quickly.
Zhong Xian also knew that he could not waste any more time. Before leaving, he stopped Qingpei and whispered a few words to him. Then he got on Cui Yuankui's sword and flew quickly towards the direction of the people coming from the Immortal Sect.
At this time, in the direction of the north gate of Qiuluo City.
Several immortal monks were sitting or standing not far from the gate with unfriendly expressions. The people inside and outside the city did not dare to approach them and could only look at them quietly.
A guard respectfully invited these monks in, but the other party ignored him and had to have the city lord Zhong Xian personally welcome them.
"He is a monk from the Sushan Sect."
Cui Yuankui saw the monks' attire from afar and immediately told Zhong Xian their identities:
"The Sushan Sect is the largest of the small sects, known by some as the Sixth Immortal Sect. They tend to act ostentatiously, so caution is advised."
