Chapter 867: Chapter 863: The Gossip Squad

When Xiao Tian approached, the young girl merely cast a sideways glance before returning to her usual ”I don’t want to talk to you” demeanor.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but chuckle and leaned in, saying, ”What’s going on? You stiffen your face as soon as we meet.”

”Go away, I don’t want to talk to you!” The young girl waved Xiao Tian aside, yet her turned little head occasionally sneaked a few glances at him.

Xiao Tian, somewhat puzzled, wondered what had upset the young girl but still shamelessly stood his ground, saying, ”Who has upset our Du’Er now?”

The young girl immediately replied with irritation, ”It’s all because of you. Do you really have the nerve to ask me?!”

”Tell me about it.” Xiao Tian posed an eager-to-hear expression, further annoying the young girl.

”My lady master is too unfair to me!”

Xiao Tian was dumbfounded, not expecting the young girl to redirect her grievances toward Lin Bingxuan.

Yet, the young girl continued to voice her frustrations: ”The things you just said, I’ve told her a long time ago and explained it even more thoroughly than you did, but unbelievably, unbelievably...”

Seeing the young girl too angry to articulate, Xiao Tian quickly deduced the reason for her anger.

Being the Artifact Spirit of the Life Seal, her understanding of the Endless Life Cultivation Technique would naturally surpass regular comprehension, yet professional expertise wasn’t always the benchmark.

It was like, when the young girl spoke, Lin Bingxuan might feel a flicker of realization but wouldn’t achieve enlightenment.

However, this can’t be explained away as it inherently seems unfair.

Thinking it over, Xiao Tian could only comfort her, saying, ”Maybe her sentiments weren’t as profound then; I just gave her a reminder this time, resulting in a fortuitous breakthrough.”

”But without your previous groundwork, she wouldn’t have had the enlightenment now!”

Having said his piece, Xiao Tian felt no shame; instead, he believed his flattery skills had progressed a notch, and judging by the young girl’s expressions, it seemed to have worked.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Tian’s explanation, although the young girl maintained her stern look, refusing to smile, she pretended to respond begrudgingly, ”Just say what you need.”

Not waiting for Xiao Tian to speak, she continued to grumble softly, ”You wouldn’t even think to visit me unless you have a reason.”

Xiao Tian immediately put on a wry smile: ”Haven’t I just come back? On top of that, I hurried to see you as soon as I finished my tasks.”

Perhaps realizing the truth in his words, the young girl’s demeanor softened significantly after hearing Xiao Tian’s explanation, then urged: ”Hurry up and tell me what’s up. If there’s nothing, I’m leaving.”

Having said that, she was about to get off the chair but was restrained by Xiao Tian who asked first: ”Have you heard of the Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation?”

”Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation?!”

The young girl repeated softly, her delicate brows furrowing as she began to ponder.

However, after a while, facing Xiao Tian’s expectant gaze, the young girl still shook her head and frankly said, ”I haven’t heard of it. Where did you hear such a strange term?”

Xiao Tian sighed, then briefly described what had happened at the hospital.

The young girl contemplated briefly and commented casually, ”When my lady master was handling that fake Shaking Light Disc, there wasn’t any abnormal energy fluctuation.”

Hearing this, Xiao Tian instinctively wanted to pursue the topic further but was stopped by the young girl’s waving hand and her question: ”By the way, where’s the Shaking Light Disc you acquired? Show it to me; it’d be trouble if it’s fake again.”

Although disagreeing with the young girl, Xiao Tian adhered to her request, and the indeterminate, ink-black Shaking Light Disc appeared in his hand.

Receiving the Shaking Light Disc from Xiao Tian, the young girl also expressed astonishment: ”Indeed, it’s different from the last one!”

Upon saying this, she began demanding Xiao Tian to recount his treasure hunt.

Truthfully, Xiao Tian was overwhelmed at the moment, lacking the mood for storytelling, but he still couldn’t resist the young girl’s mischievous charm and slowly began to narrate the events.

——

In Heartbreak Valley, disciples ended the exhausting day, returning to their quarters in small groups, each recounting their day’s encounters.

”These days, Master seems insane; the daily training load has doubled from before!” A young woman complained as she patted her aching shoulders.

”Isn’t it all because of the Sect Leader?”

An informed individual immediately responded, ”I heard her disciples are even worse off; their daily training has quadrupled!”

Seeing the four raised fingers, those around showed signs of horror, unable to withhold their astonished cries, ”Quadruple?!”

”Yes, I heard it too!” said a seemingly gossip-loving woman in a low voice, ”You all know Ji Dantong, the one who went out without permission, right?”

Everyone nodded, ”What about her?”

”When I saw her this morning, guess what?”

This line successfully stirred everyone’s curiosity, leading to a wave of urging.

”Tell us, tell us!”

”Stop teasing, what happened?”

The gossip-driven woman gestured for quiet: ”Hold on, lower your voices; it wouldn’t be good if someone overheard!”

As the eager crowd focused on the gossip, they failed to notice two pairs of eyes nearby locked onto them, waiting to hear the result.

”When I saw her this morning, she couldn’t even lift her toothbrush, had to fixate it with her hand, then moved her head back and forth.”

Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter erupted, causing the woman watching coldly from afar to turn ashen.

Nevertheless, the group showed no caution, continuing their lively discussion boundlessly.

”Hey, I also heard Ji Dantong can’t even hold chopsticks; she’s been drinking porridge these days.”

”No wonder she’s so thin, starving because she can’t eat; if I had such diligence, I’d lose weight too!”

”Don’t be silly, she wants to eat but can’t; it’s not the same as someone who can eat but can’t control their mouth, not comparable, alright?!”

Eavesdropping on the increasingly absurd conversation topics, the woman observing finally couldn’t hold back and coldly stated, ”If you’re interested in losing weight, I can request to put you in my group with Master.”

These icy words caused the group to shiver, looking at the scowling Ji Dantong as if she were a ghost.

”No, no, Senior, carry on; we’ll take our leave!”

Upon finishing, the gossip leader swiftly executed a Body Technique, covering several meters in a blink, leaving everyone stunned.

Wasn’t this the same person who previously complained about being too tired to walk?!
