"Senior Sister..." Li Fan looked at Senior Sister Zhao who was about to be summoned alone by Master Ji, with an incomprehensible look on her face, and hesitated to speak.
"Hmm? Junior brother, what's wrong with you?" She glanced at Li Fan and said softly: "You and I have lived and died together for more than a hundred years. Is there anything else we can't tell each other frankly?"
"It's nothing." Li Fan smiled casually, "Sister, please go ahead. Remember, no matter what you do, I will support you."
Senior Sister Zhao smiled and walked into the sect's main hall.
"boom!"
The heavy door slammed shut, and Li Fan looked at Senior Sister Zhao's disappearing back, with a hint of complexity in his eyes that was not easily detectable by others.
Instead of just waiting outside the main hall, he returned to Penglai Peak where he and Senior Sister Zhao lived, and plundered all the valuable things in the cave.
Then he pretended to be on patrol and arrived near the exit of the sect-protecting formation.
It seems that his behavior is no different from that of ordinary disciples, but in fact Li Fan is ready to run away at any time.
It's not because Li Fan wants to betray the Dao Sect, but because...
During the hundred years at the foot of the mountain, Li Fan accidentally discovered that Senior Sister Zhao was secretly collecting the blood of monks and even mortals infected with the [Immortal Plague].
Although only one drop is taken at a time, the action is extremely secretive.
But how could he escape from the eyes of Li Fan, a person who gets along day and night?
In the beginning, Senior Sister Zhao would become seriously ill every time after taking a blood drop sample.
Relying on Li Fan's careful care and sufficient elixirs to protect her body, she survived safely.
Li Fan asked her why, but the senior sister just joked that she also wanted to try to reverse the principle of [Immortal Plague] and directly prove immortality.
Li Fan didn't believe it.
But knowing Senior Sister Zhao's temperament, once she decides something, even he, a Taoist companion who has been with her for hundreds of years, cannot persuade her to come back.
I didn't try to dissuade her at all, I just told her "your body is the most important thing".
Later, she seemed to really listen to Li Fan's advice and slowly stopped collecting blood samples.
The intervals between illnesses are getting shorter and shorter, and the symptoms of each infection are getting milder.
But Li Fan knew that everything was an illusion.
Senior Sister Zhao did not give up her crazy behavior at all.
And the reason why she seems to have no abnormality seems to be because she has mastered some method that can isolate the influence of [Fairy Plague]...
Over the years, we have stayed in the same place.
But Senior Sister Zhao's cultivation has become increasingly advanced, reaching a point where even Li Fan can't see through it.
Li Fan felt secretly frightened by the various auras that inadvertently exuded from her body from time to time.
Even though he was certain that Senior Sister Zhao had no intention of harming him, Li Fan still felt an unreasonable sense of crisis in his heart.
Although Senior Sister Zhao didn't say it, Li Fan could also guess that she collected so much blood containing the power of [Immortal Plague] just to deal with Ji Changxi, the head of Dao Dao Sect.
Hundreds of years of deliberate suppression have brought Senior Sister Zhao's dissatisfaction with the leader to the limit.
As the saying goes, "Anyone who blocks my path will not stop until death."
Li Fan believed that it was not impossible for the crazy Senior Sister Zhao to do such a treasonous thing.
When she stepped into the sect's hall not long ago, the murderous intent that flashed in her eyes was by no means Li Fan's illusion.
"Although Ji Changxi has been in the Tao for more than six hundred years and has magical powers and unfathomable magic, she is not in the realm of immortality after all."
"Judging from Senior Sister Zhao's talent and actual combat power, coupled with the help of [Immortal Plague], she may not have no chance of winning."
"So what if it was just a narrow victory? We killed Ji Changxi, a dozen Hedao elders, and even the two reclusive Immortal Lords who held the battle."
"Is it possible that we can kill them all?"
Li Fan was puzzled as to why Senior Sister Zhao would make such a decision.
Regardless of whether it is successful or not, everyone in the Dao Dao Sect will know it.
When the time comes, not only will she have to face the siege of the whole sect, but Li Fan, Senior Sister Zhao's Taoist companion, will certainly not be spared either.
So Li Fan, who was prepared for a rainy day, made preparations to run away early.
As for why I haven't left yet, I'm just hoping to see if a miracle will happen.
Time passed little by little.
Since Ji Changxi had given an order before, he and Daozi had important matters to discuss and no one could disturb them.
Therefore, the main hall of the sect has always been closed.
Li Fan looked at the top of the mountain from a distance, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Seven days later.
The door of the main hall slowly opened, and Li Fan's breathing suddenly stopped.
However, something far beyond his expectation happened.
Ji Changxi is in front, and Senior Sister Zhao is behind.
The two walked out together.
"Aren't the two of them fighting to the death? Am I overthinking it?" Li Fan was surprised and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not only did Senior Sister Zhao win the battle, and the desperate attack did not happen, the relationship between the two seemed to be much more harmonious than before.
Even when she finally left, Ji Changxi patted her on the shoulder to show encouragement.
But Senior Sister Zhao actually accepted it calmly, and there was no change in her face.
Seeing this scene, Li Fan's heart suddenly shook slightly and he was filled with many puzzlements.
In the past, Senior Sister Zhao was very repulsive to other people's physical contact with her except herself.
And now...
Feeling bad in his heart, Li Fan suddenly had many thoughts flashing through his mind.
But there was no time to think about it carefully.
Li Fan realized first that he still had something to do.
He hurried back to Penglai Peak and returned everything to its original place before Senior Sister Zhao returned.
When Senior Sister Zhao returned, she didn't notice anything unusual in her cave.
After all, the two of them have not returned to this "home" for a hundred years.
"Senior sister, we have been away from home for hundreds of years and have been busy with trivial matters. It seems that we have not been gentle for a long time. How about..." Li Fan tentatively sent out an invitation to double cultivation.
Senior Sister Zhao also had a flash of nostalgia in her eyes, with a charming look on her face, and she readily agreed.
After some ecstasy, Li Fan's doubts gradually disappeared.
"What is the purpose of the master summoning you this time?" Li Fan held his senior sister's jade-like flawless body in his arms and asked casually.
"He said that he will pass on the position of head of the Dao Sect to me soon. He asked me to prepare in advance." Senior Sister Zhao's tone was calm, without any fluctuation.
It was as if what he was about to inherit was not the position of leader of the ten immortal sects, but some kind of play toy.
But just such a gentle word, which she didn't care about at all, fell in Li Fan's ears, but it was like thunder, shaking his brain and temporarily losing his ability to think.
"What about "The Heaven-Slaying Dao Jing"?" Li Fan, whose mind was blank, couldn't help but subconsciously asked.
"Hehe, the leader's exclusive technique must of course be handed over to me for practice again." As if taking back her beloved toy, Senior Sister Zhao put her head against Li Fan's chest, and kept making circles around his heart with her fingers, gently circling his heart.
