When we were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, suddenly a young female voice came from the front.
A girl about ten years old ran forward quickly, carrying a straw basket on her back.
"Is it the second elder!?" The girl walked up to Taoist Tianji and asked with her eyes wide open.
"It's me." Taoist Tianji looked at the girl, his eyes lit up, and he was obviously very happy. He smiled and said, "Xiao Xi'er, you have grown so big."
"Second Elder, you are finally back!" Xiao Xi'er raised his head and said, "Everyone misses you so much."
Taoist Tianji stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Xi'er's hair and said with a smile: "It is true that I have been away for a long time this time, but I promise that I will never leave for such a long time again in the future."
"That's great! All the senior brothers and sisters will be very happy!" Xiao Xi'er's eyes turned into a crescent-shaped smile.
Only then did she notice Fang Yu beside her.
"Second Elder, who is this eldest brother..." Xiao Xi'er looked at Fang Yu's strange clothes and asked curiously.
"Uh...his name is..." Taoist Tianji didn't know how to introduce Fang Yu for a while.
"My name is Fang Yu." Fang Yu said.
"Brother Fang, are you the second elder's new disciple?" Xiao Xi'er blinked his eyes and asked curiously.
"...Of course not." Taoist Tianji's face changed slightly and he immediately said, "He is...a friend of mine."
"Oh." Xiao Xi'er nodded and asked, "Second Elder, where are you going?"
"I want to send him to Xilin Town." Taoist Tianji replied.
"Brother Fang is leaving soon. Why don't you let me take Brother Fang to town? Second Elder." Xiao Xi'er blinked again and said, "I know the way."
Taoist Tianji glanced at Fang Yu.
"This can indeed save time. You can go and report to your sect leader now." Fang Yu said.
"Okay... Xiao Xi'er, go ahead and pay attention to safety." Taoist Tianji said.
"Okay!" Xiao Xi'er replied happily.
Taoist Tianji will return the same way.
"Brother Fang, come with me." Xiao Xier took off the straw basket from his back, put it on the roadside, and said with a smile.
"Okay." Fang Yu nodded.
Then, the creek jumped down.
…
"Brother Fang, do you know why I am so happy?"
After walking for a while, Xiao Xier turned around and asked, holding his hands behind his back.
"You want to go to town." Fang Yu said with a smile.
"Ah... how did you guess that?" Xiao Xi'er opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "I just wanted to take a walk in the town. Did you know that there is a candy man sold by an old lady in the town..."
Xiao Xi'er has a very cheerful and innocent personality. Although she met Fang Yu for the first time, she was not afraid. Instead, she became familiar with him and took the initiative to chat with Fang Yu.
This couldn't help but remind Fang Yu of Ling'er back then.
When I met Ling'er for the first time, Ling'er was not as old as Xiao Xi'er, but their personalities were very similar, and they were both familiar with each other.
"Why are you called Xiao Xi'er?" Fang Yu asked.
"Because I was picked up by the second elder beside a small stream... so I named me Xiao Xi'er." Xiao Xi'er replied with a smile, "Brother Fang, do you think my name sounds nice?"
"It sounds good." Fang Yu replied.
"I think it sounds good too." Xiao Xi'er turned around and skipped forward.
Fang Yu followed behind, walking slowly.
…
Three-way Xuanmen, inside the main hall of the gate.
"Thank you for your hard work, Second Elder." The sect leader Dengyang looked at Taoist Tianji in front of him and said.
Taoist Tianji shook his head and said: "Master, I only realized one truth during this trip."
"How to say?" Dengyang asked.
"Source Crystal... is not something people of our level can touch." Taoist Tianji said solemnly.
"What did you see when you went to the lower plane?" Dengyang asked with squinted eyes.
Taoist Tianji took a deep breath and recalled the scene where the will of the Holy Court and the laws of the planes descended one after another. There was still shock and fear in his eyes.
Then, he briefly told what he saw and heard on earth.
After hearing this, Dengyang looked equally shocked.
"It turns out that Yuan Jing has been targeted by an existence of that level..." Dengyang's eyes flickered and he said in disbelief.
"Yes, from the beginning to the end, I didn't even have a chance to get the source crystal." Taoist Tianji said solemnly.
Dengyang narrowed his eyes and said: "But from the side, it also confirms my previous thoughts... The source crystal is indeed the reason for the glory of the human race! Otherwise, the existence of those levels will not go through all the troubles and even leave behind
The will comes to the earth, and they all want to destroy the source crystal..."
"You can indeed think so, but the human race is still going downhill now, and its glory has become a thing of the past." Taoist Tianji breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "We don't need to think about the Earth Source Crystal anymore, it's not something we can touch.
The existence of touch.”
"This would be too wasteful," Dengyang said.
"What's the waste?" Taoist Tianji frowned.
"What a waste of opportunity! What we know now, most of the big families don't even know about it!" Dengyang said slightly excitedly, "If the news gets out, I believe that many big families will be unable to hold back..."
"Master, we have no chance, the source crystal has been integrated into Fang Yu's body." Taoist Tianji frowned, "Now if you still want to take action against Fang Yu, that's..."
"I didn't say we took action against Fang Yu ourselves." Dengyang narrowed his eyes and said, "I just said... the information we have is extremely valuable."
Taoist Tianji looked at Dengyang, his face changed slightly, and he guessed what Dengyang was thinking.
"Previously, we asked the big clans to send people down to the earth to find the Source Crystal and destroy it. They couldn't do it, and they were unwilling to spend such a high price to solve a small star in the lower plane. But now... Source
Since Jing has been integrated into Fang Yu's body, Fang Yu... came to the upper plane again, to the Great Sky Star!" A smile appeared on Dengyang's face, "As long as Fang Yu is eliminated, the earth in the lower plane will also be destroyed.
Destruction means that the ancestral star of the human race has been destroyed!"
"In this way, regardless of whether the source crystal is really related to the glory of the human race... the foundation of the human race is gone!"
"Those big races that hate the human race must want to get such an opportunity! But at present, we are the only ones who have this information, and we can use this..."
"Master!"
Taoist Tianji looked extremely serious and interrupted Dengyang's words.
Dengyang's face changed slightly and he looked at Taoist Tianji.
"Master, I did mention that the old source crystal was integrated into Fang Yu's body... but I also mentioned the scene where Fang Yu fought against the will of the Holy Academy and against the laws of the plane. You can't ignore such important information!" Taoist Tianji!
Staring at Dengyang, he said sternly, "No matter how much benefit we can get, we can't offend this person!"
"Your current idea is to push the Three-Tong Xuanmen into the abyss!"
"I firmly oppose it!"
Dengyang looked at Taoist Tianji and frowned: "Second Elder, this is an opportunity for our sect to leap forward! If we can take this opportunity to embrace the lap of a big clan..."
"I'm sure that if we provoke Fang Yu, no one can protect us." Taoist Tianji said decisively.
