Chapter 99

Wu Gui scared to death

Seeing Lin Xiao seemingly safe and sound, Wu Gui let out a relieved sigh . But he still had wits about him said, "Brother Lin, you'll still have to tread carefully . You've no idea how malicious the people at the Mount Youming are . It could be highly likely Hu Su did furtive harm to you . Come and let me have a thorough check . "

"No, thanks," Lin Xiao said, not knowing how to react properly .

Hu Su even failed to lay his fingers on the margin of Lin Xiao's clothes, let along to harm the latter on the sly, no matter how insidious he could be .

Wu Gui got confused, then a tinge of agony flashed across his countenance . Supposing Lin Xiao didn't give him any credence, Wu Gui gritted his teeth and said, "Well, then please wait for me for a second, I'm inviting my master to come over and check on you . "

"Lin Xiao was the apple of the master's eye now . And the master just bid him attach attention to Lin Xiao the other day . However, just after a few days, I had him bullied by some thugs here in the sect," Wu Gu thought to

himself .

As a matter of fact, Wu Gui dare not report issues like this to Li Taixuan . However, he still decided to do it at the risk of a punishment for the sake of Lin Xiao's health .

Lin Xiao was about to say something in response when a disciple's voice went off outside, "Good . . . Good afternoon, Esteemed Patriarch . "

Lin Xiao heard that, so did Wu Gui . The latter went ghostly pale immediately . Somehow, he dashed into the internal room and hid there .

Being confused by Wu Gui's erratic behavior, Lin Xiao burst into a smile . It was kind of weird Wu Gui sneaked off upon his master's arrival like a mouse to a cat . Was Li Taixuan truly that scaring?

Shaking his head, Lin Xiao opened the door himself and got bewildered .

The visitor standing outside was scruffy and dusty that was indeed Li Taixuan . However, one could hardly sense any trace of authority in him today .

Lin Taixuan didn't notice Lin Xiao's facial expression . He went in, shut the door, and started the conversation by saying, " Martial Uncle, I'm dreadfully sorry . I failed to find any cultivation methods for the Refining

Refining Divine Realm . And . . . and I even have to ask for a favor . "

Not until then did Lin Xiao know that it was because of his cultivation that Li Taixuan had been stressed out like that . It felt so warm that a sense of overwhelming gratitude popped up in Lin Xiao . Hence Li Taixuan's image became even more respectable than before in Lin Xiao's eyes .

Li Taixuan dared not lift his head out of remorse, hence he was unable to pick up on the changes of Lin Xiao's attitude toward him . Of course, he was indeed way to flustered to get around to observing the surroundings, otherwise, he could have easily found Wu Gui hiding in the internal room .

Right then in the internal room, Wu Gui went slack-jawed on hearing the way his master referred to Lin Xiao .

"Martial Uncle? How come my master called someone as his martial uncle in such a high regard? Could it be said there is anyone else in this room?" Wu Gui wondered .

After Wu Gui came back to himself, he started looking around .

Right at that moment, he heard Lin Xiao speak, "What's up?"

"Those four Martial Law Gestation Elixirs . Today is the

is the deadline for returning them . And Shan Chengfeng popped over to the Council Chamber for the pills . It is only you who are able to deal with it," Li Taixuan's said in a respectful tone .

On hearing that, Wu Gui felt dehydrated . It seemed that his master was truly talking to Lin Xiao .

Did it mean . . .

Wu Gui covered his chest with his hand, feeling as if his heart had broken into a sudden stoppage .

It was hardly the end . The conversation went on out there .

"Have you got the Hedao Fruits?" Lin Xiao asked .

"Martial Uncle, yes . we've successfully fulfilled our mission," Li Taixuan responded .

Wu Gui captured the above line super clearly his very own master Li Taixuan referred to Lin Xiao as his martial uncle .

Analogous to a lightning carving through the nocturnal canopy, Wu Gui suddenly figured out the reason why his master attached so much importance to Lin Xiao . It was all because of his identity .

Wu Gui thought to himself in stupefaction, "Lin Xiao turned out to be my master's martial uncle . By extension, am I supposed to call him the Great Master?"

"Being only 16-year-old, Lin Xiao 16-year-old, Lin Xiao boasted such an awe-inspiring background . Once it was disseminated far and wide, let alone the Taixuan Sect, it would out of question cause a stir in Chijing Prefecture!" Thinking of this, Wu Gui turned ghostly pale all of a sudden .

Recalling himself audaciously opposing the Great Master in the past, Wu Gui got overwhelmed with a boom in his mind . Then a wave of quiver rushed across him .

After a long time, Wu Gui finally came back to himself . Stroking his head with his trembling hand, Wu Gui was delighted to find that his head was still in place . "How fortunate I am! I didn't get executed for opposing the Great Master," Wu Gui thought .

Wu Gui craved another listen to the conversation, but all quieted down outside . He leaned out to have a look only to find that the outer room was empty . The struck-dumb Wu Gui lost track of them .

He had a deep breath . But he almost stumbled when he was about to step forward . Concise as it was, the shocking news still scared Wu Gui to death .

Right then, Li Taixuan already walked Lin Xiao to the entrance of the Furnace Hall .
