Chapter 404 - I can't read

"Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle, quickly take a look! There are so many big monkeys over there! They're jumping so high!"

Beside the young girl stood a plump and beautiful woman who was dressed in palace clothing and had a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth. Looking at the direction the young girl was pointing towards, the beautiful woman couldn't help but bitterly smile.

Suddenly, she pointed in a direction and excitedly jumped up: "Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle, look over there, there's a golden toad. Aiya, are these toads hurt by someone? Why are there only three legs!"

The corner of the palace beauty's mouth twitched slightly as she once again said in a speechless manner, "How is this an injured toad? These general level cloud beasts are the 'Three-legged Gold Toad'!"

At this moment, the beautiful woman couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, she was the only one standing guard at the north gate, otherwise, if the other sects were to see this genius disciple of the Misty Illusion Palace being so ignorant, they would not know how to react.

Hearing this, the girl pouted and looked down at the city wall, "Reading books is so boring. Didn't master and senior teach me? Reading ten thousand books is inferior to walking ten thousand miles!"

When the beautiful woman heard this, she immediately covered her forehead and was left speechless!

At this moment, a blue mist suddenly appeared in the air behind the two of them. The next moment, a skinny old man wearing a blue robe walked out from the mist.

The old man had a long snow-white beard, just like an inverted snow peak. His nose was a little sunken, his eyes were small, and his head was like a s.h.i.+ny mirror, s.h.i.+ning brightly under the moonlight.

"Cough cough." The old man let out a soft cough.

Core and the beautiful woman turned around at the same time. As soon as they saw the old man approaching, they immediately kowtowed!

This person was actually the Supreme Elder of the Misty Palace, the Immortal River. He was the only male elder in the entire Misty Palace!

"Yes!"

The old man nodded slightly and secretly lifted his head with a glare, making a face at himself.

Immediately, the old man's body floated up and hovered in the air above the city wall. His eyes stared at the ground outside the city walls and a mysterious light surged within his eyes. It was as if he could see through this land.

"Eh, could it be that I was mistaken?"

The old man lowered his head to look at the beautiful woman and said, "Chi Lan, you have been guarding the north gate. Did you see anything just now?"

"Oh?" The Immortal River continued to frown as it pondered.

"Master Immortal River, did something happen?"

The old man said, "Earlier, when I investigated this place with my spiritual will, I felt an aura that suddenly appeared at the edge of the formation and then disappeared. It was extremely strange, so I came to check it out."

"Xian'Er …"

Xin'er pouted in dissatisfaction. I'm not spouting nonsense. "

The old man named Xian He looked at her and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. He nodded and said, "Maybe it's really as Xin Er said. It's just a cloud beast trying to drill into the city. With me protecting all four directions, it won't be a problem."

Hearing this, Zhen'er looked at her martial uncle complacently, as if to say 'Martial Uncle, see, the Grand Preceptor's uncle agrees with my point of view.'

The beautiful woman could only smile wryly as she couldn't do anything about him.

"Zhen'er, you are one of the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation of my Misty Illusion Palace. How can you not have common sense, and not even know the names and types of these Cloud Beasts. Wouldn't that make the other young masters laugh? From today on, you will read books for me for two hours every day!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hearing this, Xin'er's face immediately turned bitter.

Seeing that her Junior Master was laughing, she couldn't help but look at the Immortal River for help. However, the Immortal River didn't seem to see the look in her eyes, as it still had its solemn, elderly look.

Seeing that she was hopeless, the little girl puffed up her cheeks and nodded, "Ok, let's watch!"

"Oh!"

When Xin'er saw the two of them looking at her with surprised expressions, a crafty look appeared in her eyes as she stared at the Immortal River. "Grand Preceptor's Ancestor, since you want to let me read, then you must let me read some useful books."

Xinghe said, "Of course, out of all the books in the Misty Illusionary Palace, in the entire Tianxuan Continent, other than the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, who else can compare to us? Do you have any books?"

But Cores shook his head. "No, I'm not going to read these books."

"Mm, if you don't want to read these books, then what are you going to read?" The Immortal River was puzzled.

The corners of Cores' lips curled up, and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons. "I want to see the book that Grand Martial Uncle often reads alone!"

This time, it was the Immortal River that was stunned. The stern expression of the elder immediately faded by a large half as he looked around with a guilty conscience.

Xin'er chuckled. "Grand Preceptor Xian, you've forgotten, there's a small red box at the bottom of the luggage case in your room. There's a book inside!"

Hearing these words, the Immortal River immediately became fl.u.s.tered. It waved its hands in a flurry as it interrupted Xin Er's words and spoke in a fl.u.s.ter.

"Nonsense, nonsense, there aren't any such books in the room. This sovereign has lived for hundreds of years, how could I have read those books!"

The smile on Xin'er's face grew even more crafty, like a cunning little fox. "Grand Preceptor's uncle, I haven't said what kind of book it is yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I …" The Immortal River froze on the spot. Looking at the little girl's crafty smile, he couldn't help but want to slap himself. Why did he admit defeat?

He had no choice but to send a telepathic message!

"You little girl, how dare you trick your Grand Preceptor's uncle!"

"Hmph, who asked Grand Martial Aunt to force me to study!" Cen'er grumbled in her heart.

"Then I'll read the book that Grand Martial Uncle is reading!"

"How dare you threaten your Grand Preceptor's uncle? Aren't you afraid of the sect's punishment?"

"Hmph, if Grand Preceptor you punish me, then I'll go find the sect head!"

"I've come to find the sect head to help me borrow Grand Preceptor Xie's book to have a look. It's not just me, I've given the rest of the sect's senior sisters and sisters, as well as the Grand Preceptor's uncles and uncles, to read together!"

"You!"

Looking at the grandmaster and granddaughter pair, Elder Zhi Lan silently stood there with her eyes wide open. For a moment, she was stunned as well. She had a faint feeling that this little girl had caught something on Elder Xian He.

Seeing the little girl's complacent look, and the elder's face turning uglier by the moment, the elder finally opened his mouth and a smile that was uglier than crying appeared on his twitching face.

"This girl is born to be extremely intelligent. She can understand it with just a little bit. Her intelligence far surpa.s.ses ordinary people, so she was interested in studying formations. Reading too many books would only cause her mind to be in a mess."

"Hehehe, does Grand Preceptor's uncle mean that Xin'er doesn't need to read books?"

"Cough cough, there's no need to look anymore!"

At the side, Chi Lan widened her beautiful eyes, "Martial Uncle Xian He, this …"

"Aiya, I've suddenly gotten a bit of inspiration. You want me to create a new formation? Continue guarding the city gates here, and I'll go as well!"

Before he finished speaking, the Immortal River was already gone from the city wall. Seeing this, Zhen'er immediately revealed her two cute canines as she proudly looked at her martial uncle!

"Hmph, you want me to study? No way!"

As the three of them conversed, Xiang Yun, who had rushed out of Qin Feng's great formation without knowing it, was already flying high in the sky. Relying on the Earth Escape Emblem, he charged all the way to the mountains of the Silvermoon Mountain Range.

Along the way, they would occasionally run into Cloud Beasts that bore into them. Upon seeing Xiang Yun rapidly advancing underground, these Cloud Beasts would immediately let out a strange cry and scurry to the surface, not daring to fight against him.

Xiang Yun's gaze instantly locked onto the mountains. It was the most majestic solitary mountain, 'Qingming Peak'!

When he saw the dense clouds and occasional flashes of light that lingered at the peak of the mountain, Xiang Yun's hanging heart was finally at ease!

"This is great! It seems like the Little Peach Blossom Array has not been broken through. They are definitely still on the mountain, still alive!"

Without having time to think about it too much, Xiang Yun continued to fly forward, quickly reaching the base of the mountain. His figure merged with the mountain, actually quickly reaching the summit from within the mountain!
