Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 422 - 279: Only the National Team Uses Sea Cucumber to Temper Their Bodies_2

Chapter 422: Chapter 279: Only the National Team Uses Sea Cucumber to Temper Their Bodies_2

Clearly, Xiaoxue had already communicated with the little girl before taking matters into her own hands.

Xiaoxue raised her chin towards Shi Xiu, indicating him to hurry, "The little girl has already arrived. If you don’t act now, you’ll be harming this girl’s entire family. Quick."

Shi Xiu gave Xiaoxue the middle finger, a gesture he recently learned in Thousand Mechanism Town.

He then went to the Li family’s little girl, extended his hand and pointed at her Primordial Spirit and Spirit Platform. Moments later, Shi Xiu’s body transformed into the likeness of the Li family’s little girl.

Appearance, gaze, speech, cultivation—all identical.

The Hundred Facets Divine Skill is a signature skill of the Celestial Sect.

After transforming into the Li family’s little girl, perhaps to adjust his mindset, Shi Xiu gracefully lifted his skirt and bowed to the others.

His demeanor was exactly the same, even the Li family’s little girl was transfixed.

After adjusting his mindset, Shi Xiu gave Xiaoxue another middle finger before swiftly entering the Li Mansion.

After Shi Xiu left, Xiaoxue waved to Fuji, "Lend me a little walnut, I’m going to take a few stylish photos of your Senior Brother Shi."

Though Xiaoxue had always been averse to all Magical Artifacts, sometimes, exceptions could be made.

Like now.

As Fuji retrieved an unused little walnut from within herself, Xiaoxue looked towards the Li family’s little girl.

"I cannot yet tell you the precise identity of those people, and you must stay at Medicine King Valley for a while. However, besides not being able to leave the valley, there are no other restrictions."

"I’ll follow your arrangements." Miss Li’s voice was neither joyful nor sad.

With the little walnut in hand, Xiaoxue sought a good angle to surreptitiously photograph Senior Brother Shi in his female guise.

Meanwhile, Fuji was staring intently at the Li family’s little girl.

The Li family’s little girl had no objections; she had long been accustomed to this life of being ordered around.

Yet soon, she let out a startled cry, for she saw the blue Fairy suddenly extend several tentacles that wrapped around her.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m diagnosing you."

With that, Fuji stepped forward, placed a hand on the Li girl’s chest, furrowing her brow as if searching for something.

Moments later, a swirl of pale purple Qi was extracted by Fuji from Miss Li’s body.

Then she stuffed it into her mouth.

"A congenital ailment, but tasty."

Clutching her chest, Miss Li looked at Fuji in disbelief, that long-troubling thing in her chest was truly gone.

The thing she could sense, which her family failed to diagnose despite seeking renowned doctors, had vanished, leaving no one in the Li family believing her.

They dismissed it as an excuse for her lack of talent.

"Amazing disciple, I didn’t even realize this kid had a hidden ailment." Xiaoxue heartily patted the Li family’s little girl on the shoulder, "Now that you’re cured, aren’t you happy?"

"Mm." The Li family’s little girl finally smiled.

...

Li Mansion.

Old Patriarch Li and the other elders were still negotiating with Xiao Teng’s group.

The core objective was to find a way to send someone else in to join the buzz of the Qinghe Association.

And that person was none other than the Patriarch Li’s youngest daughter, to infiltrate the Qinghe Association and secure a lucrative marriage for the Li family.

Taoist Liu was also tired of listening, but couldn’t refuse due to maintaining his persona, so he reluctantly agreed.

The Patriarch Li was overjoyed at the news and immediately called for his youngest daughter, who had made a brief appearance before the banquet, to be brought back and formally become Taoist Liu’s honorary disciple.

Shi Xiu, disguised as the Li family’s young girl, was led into the hall by a maid.

Then came the dull proceedings of the disciple ceremony and similar rituals, where Shi Xiu’s feminine and proper behavior was flawless, even the Patriarch Li, her own father, couldn’t tell.

Perhaps because he never really paid attention, anyway.

However, for some reason, Shi Xiu felt as if someone was watching him.

"Was I found out? Impossible, this technique was personally taught by Master."

Shi Xiu was puzzled, but as he poured tea for the elder, he naturally glanced back and saw a pair of exceedingly expressive eyes.

Upon Shi Xiu’s glance, the owner of those eyes turned away.

It was that person named Xiao Teng, who was also Shi Xiu’s surveillance target.

As a Middle Ascender from Celestial Sect, accustomed to great tumult, and given the inherent eccentricities in the Celestial Sect’s path, Shi Xiu had a special insight into human nature.

Xiao Teng, with just a fleeting glance, wrote an essay for him.

The core demand of that essay was simple.

It was this: I want you, and I’ve even thought of how I want you.

Shi Xiu, being a dashing white-haired gentleman, was accustomed to the adoring and admiring gazes of his juniors.

Yet those emotions were always indistinct, affectionate, like bathing in a Spiritual Qi-filled hot spring, allowing Shi Xiu to thoroughly enjoy them.

However, this straightforward gaze from a man was somewhat disgusting.

"No wonder Xiaoxue didn’t come."

To avoid any mishaps, Shi Xiu coyly smiled at Xiao Teng.

Seeing this smile, Xiao Teng’s heart trembled a little. He couldn’t understand why, but upon seeing the Li family’s girl again, he felt intensely drawn.

He had a consuming desire to possess and take her immediately, a feeling so overwhelming he could hardly restrain it.

He suddenly thought, on this solitary celestial path, having someone accompany him might not be such a bad thing. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Xiao Teng felt that this girl should be by his side.

With the disciple ceremony concluded, the hosts and guests, each with their own thoughts, returned to their respective residences to rest.
