Chapter 177 Xiao Xuan wanted to invite Qin Shou down the mountain... The big pig said yes, the little pig said no!

In the evening, the autumn rain started again.

Qin Shou carried a small hoe to the peach tree and dug out a jar of peach blossom wine.

This was brewed by Qin Shou himself and buried under the peach tree the year Xiao Xuan descended the mountain, just so that when his disciple returned, he could drink a cup to soothe the weariness of his journey.

Forty-seven years have passed since then.

"This is peach blossom wine that I brewed myself the year you came down the mountain."

Qin Shou carried the wine jar to the eaves. A gentle evening breeze blew through his hair, causing the bells under the eaves to ring softly.

"Thank you, Master."

Xiao Xuan took the wine jar, poured a cup of wine for Qin Shou first, and then poured one for himself.

"Please, Master!"

Xiao Xuan raised his cup in a gesture of respect.

Qin Shou picked up his wine cup, took a small sip, and said:

"You came back this time because you need something, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's eyebrows furrowed. "No, not at all. I simply missed you, Master, and came back to see you."

Qin Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of a smile on his face, and said, "Really? Then don't tell anyone later, or I'll beat you to death."

"Hehehe, Master, actually there's something small, lalala."

Xiao Xuan rubbed her small hands shyly and said.

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Emperor Xiao, the path down the mountain is right there. Please proceed."

After saying that, he got up and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

"Please don't, Master. I am your dearest little disciple."

Xiao Xuan quickly grabbed one of Qin Shou's arms and rubbed his face against it.

Qin Shou tried to shake him off by flicking his sleeve, but the other party clung tightly to his arm like a leech.

"Let go!"

Qin Shou let out a fierce shout.

"I don't. "

Xiao Xuan blinked his big eyes pitifully.

Qin Shou sighed and rubbed his temples. "Speak, what is it?"

Xiao Xuan chuckled, "I would like to invite Master to come down the mountain..."

Snap!

Before Xiao Xuan could finish speaking, he was flung away by a large sling.

"Traitorous disciple, traitorous disciple!"

Qin Shou, enraged, pointed a trembling finger at Xiao Xuan and roared, "You son of a bitch, do you think I've lived too long?!"

"Hehe, Master, it's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Xiao Xuan scrambled to his feet, gripping Qin Shou's finger tightly as it pointed at him, and said with a forced smile, "Calm down, calm down."

Qin Shou plopped back down in the bamboo chair and said irritably:

"Spit it out, and then get lost."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Xuan began to explain in detail.

"Master, ten years from now, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, it will be the day when the Ziwei Emperor Star and the Zhuque Evil Star descend upon the world at the same time. I plan to use my imperial fortune and Zhuque bloodline to draw upon the power of the Ziwei Emperor Star and the Zhuque Evil Star to help me open the Zhuque Nirvana Array in the ancestral land of my Zhuque Dynasty, and to perform a second Nirvana on the Zhuque Divine Bloodline within my body, thereby advancing to the Divine Transformation Realm."

The commotion will be huge, attracting attention from all directions.

"Master, as you know, I have many enemies, and many people are jealous of my looks and talent. After all, I have grown too fast, so fast that it has made many people feel fear and jealousy."

The world's fortune is finite. If I were to continue growing stronger, the fortune of an entire province would likely be concentrated in my own hands, which would naturally cause resentment among many.

"well.........."

At this point, Xiao Xuan sighed, somewhat helplessly saying, "If you have to blame someone, blame myself for being just too outstanding."

"Moreover, Su Qingcang is still alive, although he's only a remnant soul. He's still a top-tier expert who has entered the Void Realm. More importantly, according to my investigation, Su Qingcang has a very powerful sect behind him, seemingly from Qingzhou, but I haven't yet found out the specifics..."

Another thing that's giving me a headache is that the former members of the Tianyu Dynasty, which I destroyed, are still on the run. Recently, news has come that their Supreme Emperor, who disappeared three thousand years ago, is still alive. When he disappeared three thousand years ago, he was already a powerful figure at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. If he is truly alive now, he has probably already entered the Void Realm.

"With such cultivation, if someone were to use that on me, I'm afraid I would be wiped out instantly."

Xiao Xuan rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled.

When he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, he must not be distracted in the slightest.

With so many enemies, even though he had made thorough preparations, he still lacked confidence.

His main concern was that someone above the Nascent Soul stage might make a move.

"So you want your master to descend the mountain and protect you?"

Qin Shou looked at Xiao Xuan.

"Mmm..."

Xiao Xuan nodded excitedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"I'm not going."

Qin Shou shook his head in refusal, his words concise and to the point.

"I'm afraid of dying."

“.............”

Xiao Xuan pouted, tears glistening in his eyes.

"Master, how can your mouth, which is in the thirties degree Celsius, utter such cold words?"

"Ha~"

Qin Shou exhaled, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on the corner of his mouth.

"It's below zero now."

"???"

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded... You're so funny.

"Hehe, Master, can I take Brother Da Bao with me?"

"If you're capable of getting Da Bao to go with you, then I have no objection."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Xiao Xuan was in high spirits. He felt that, given his friendship with Brother Da Bao, Brother Da Bao would definitely not stand by and watch him be beaten to death.

"By the way, Master, I also had someone inquire about Senior Sister's whereabouts. I found out that she is currently in Lingzhou and seems to be involved in the Nine Princes' Succession Struggle in the Great Duan Dynasty."

I've also heard that the old emperor of the Great Duan Dynasty won't last much longer. Their second prince even sent someone to Yunzhou, promising me many conditions to form an alliance with him and help him ascend to the throne. But I haven't agreed yet, mainly because of my second senior sister. I don't understand what she's thinking..."

Xiao Xuan began to speak slowly.

Qin Shou frowned deeply.

"Lingzhou?"

Why would my little lover get involved in this dynastic conflict?

Qin Shou looked at Xiao Xuan and asked, "Is the Great Duan Dynasty very strong?"

Xiao Xuan replied, "Fortunately, the strongest person in the entire dynasty is that old emperor whose lifespan is nearing its end, in addition to a Grand Pillar of State at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage."

"That's good. "

Qin Shou nodded.

The Netherworld White Tiger is at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. It has an extraordinary bloodline, a powerful physique, and is extremely skilled in speed. Moreover, it has cultivated the Qiongqi Manual, which is enough to protect Xiao Qing'er.

Moreover, Xiao Qing'er is a Nascent Soul cultivator and possesses the Heaven-Changing Umbrella, so she can remain unharmed even if she encounters an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Sigh, when will my clone return?!"

Qin Shou looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, feeling extremely melancholy.

"Master, Master, the goose can't sleep."

Just as Qin Shou was about to ask Xiao Xuan some more questions, Yi Cheng, wrapped in a small blanket, came running over with a "da da da" sound, blinking her little eyes and looking aggrieved.

Qin Shou looked up and asked, "Are you having trouble sleeping, or are you already awake?"

This guy has been sleeping for six or seven hours already.

"Huh? Goose, goose doesn't know either!"

Yi Cheng scratched his head.

"How about you tell the goose a story, Master? It will fall asleep while listening."

“Okay.” Qin Shou nodded. “Have you ever heard the story of ‘The big pig said yes, the little pig said no’?”

"No. "

Yi Cheng shook her head innocently, listening very attentively.

"I'm done talking. Go back to sleep."

"oh. "

Ta-da-ta-ta, Yi Cheng ran back to her nest, wrapped in her little blanket.
