How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Elder Huo: "..."

"You said there was no problem?!"

Elder Huo suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and roared loudly in an attempt to wake up his prized disciple.

"Xiaoling! Wake up! Don't let new and exciting things corrupt your spirit! You should perk up..."

"Elder! Aunt!"

Before Elder Huo could finish speaking, Xingyun ran over from a short distance away, carrying Gaga, her face full of surprise.

"Why are you all here? Did you come to see the snow too?"

"Watching snow... huh?"

Elder Huo frowned, paused for a moment, then looked at the barrier and immediately understood: "It's snowing outside right now?"

"Yes!"

Xingyun nodded heavily, a look of reminiscence on her face.

"It was snowing at this time last year too. I think I was at home drinking hot tea with my dad back then..."

"Ah, the joy of nature, the joy of family..."

Elder Huo seemed to be deep in thought, then shook his head and chuckled.

"Since I started practicing cultivation, time has flown by, and the temperature has had less and less of an effect on my body. As a result, I haven't felt anything for a long time because of the natural blooming and withering of flowers..."

Well, in a sense, the more you cultivate, the lower your spiritual level becomes, hahaha!

"Hmm...I don't quite understand..."

Xingyun frowned, turned to look at Hongling beside her, paused for a moment as if she saw someone's shadow, rubbed her eyes, and then realized what was happening.

"Um, where are Elder and Aunt Hongling going?"

"This..."

Elder Huo paused for a moment, then explained, "Go and pilot the airship. You weren't here last year, so you don't know, but usually around this time, we start preparing to recruit disciples."

In previous years at this time, it was always Xiaoling and Xiaobeihai... uh..."

Elder Huo suddenly looked at Hong Ling awkwardly, and the latter nodded with a "humph".

“That guy from Beihai made a mistake before, so I found a reason to kick him out.”

Hongling nodded, speaking without any hesitation.

"Yes, that's right, I was just using my position to settle a personal score!"

Ha, love and romance, to hell with them. I've seen through this world...

"You saw it."

Elder Huo waved his hand, and a cloud of fire drifted over to silence Hong Ling, lest she poison the sect's future leaders.

"My original plan was to have Xiaoling take charge of the overall situation, and together with some disciples from the Earth and Wood departments, form this year's recruitment team, but..."

Elder Huo turned his head and glanced at Hong Ling's displeased expression, his lips twitching a few times.

"But given the current situation, I'm a little unsure if my decision was inappropriate..."

Elder Huo saw Hong Ling raise her hand to speak and lifted her silence: "Hmm?"

"Hmm, I understand."

Hongling nodded expressionlessly, then turned to walk back: "You want to replace me, right? Fine, I think it's reasonable, so..."

"stop."

Elder Huo shouted.

"Aha?"

Hongling turned her head and raised an eyebrow: "Is there anything else?"

"Something's wrong, of course something's wrong!"

Elder Huo's expression was solemn and serious.

“I hesitated before, but now I’m sure I was right. Xiaoling, you can’t go on like this. Go take charge of the airship, recruit new disciples, and go back to how you were before!”

Elder Huo looked up at the sky with a pained expression, as if he could see the current sect leader smiling in heaven. He pointed to the sky.

"I've already experienced the feeling of helplessness once, and I can't just watch you become like that too!"

Hongling, Xingyun, and Gaga: "Huh?"

The two people and the crane looked up at the sky, their faces full of confusion: "What do you mean?"

"it means……"

Elder Huo Le pointed at Hong Ling and said in an irrefutable tone, "Now, continue according to the original plan. Go and take the airship out!"

"..."

Hongling was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, Master."

Watching Hongling's departing figure, Elder Huo's expression turned solemn: "Xiaoyun, you must never become that kind of adult in the future!"

"Well?"

Xingyun, the beautiful young woman, was puzzled.

"It's okay, just stay where you are."

Huo Le sighed, stroked his chin, and frowned in thought.

"Even if I let her go, I'm a little worried about her current condition. The Earth and Wood disciples I send out are all tech geeks who are obsessed with developing spells and rarely go out..."

Huo Le murmured, "Perhaps I should send another reliable child to supervise and help her, to prevent any mistakes from happening..."

"!!!"

It doesn't matter if you didn't understand the others, Xingyun understood this one!

Elder Huo wants to find someone to accompany Aunt Hongling to Five-Colored City for fun, and also to recruit disciples, which means...

"Heh heh~"

Xingyun suddenly appeared in front of Elder Huo, her face full of a smug smile.

"Hmph~"

"Uh……"

Elder Huo scratched his head: "Xiao Yun, is there something you need?"

"Yes, yes, it's that one..."

Xingyun gave a comical look: "I might know who would be a good support for Sister Hongling..."

"Ok?"

Elder Huo's eyes lit up: "Who? Xiao Yun, tell me quickly."

Xingyun pointed to herself, puffed out her chest, and raised her head: "Me!"

Elder Huo: "?"

"What's wrong!"

Xingyun's eyes widened: "Elder, you don't believe me?!"

"Well, it's not that I don't believe it, I've just heard..."

Seeing Xingyun's expression that said, "If you reject me, I'll cry," Elder Huo smiled awkwardly.

"I heard Xiaoli say that you sometimes tend to be absent-minded..."

"Rumors, pure rumors!"

Xingyun decisively denied it: "Elder, do you think anyone is not confused in front of Sister Hongli?"

From a genius's perspective, we'd probably all be complete idiots!

"Um, well, she said you're a special case..."

"That's because Sister Hongli only has regular contact with me!"

"!!!"

Elder Huole suddenly "realized" that what he said was right; Hongli's words could not be understood from an ordinary person's perspective.

Xiaoyun suddenly realized that this kind of quick thinking could be called being confused.

What has he become? Alzheimer's?

Moreover, Xiaoyun was the second-ranked disciple of the Fire Department in Hongli's year, and was known as the woman closest to God... cough cough... the woman closest to Hongli!

In other words, this is the second generation of Xiao Li!

It's worth noting that when Hong Li faced her challenge, she repeatedly chose to stay indoors and avoid the battle, which shows that even Xiao Li found the opponent's strength troublesome!

Indeed, one cannot judge a person solely by their level of attainment. He misjudged and let Hong Li escape before. Now, we absolutely cannot let a pearl be tarnished again. We should let "Little Li II" grow and be tempered, quickly reaching the level of Little Li I. In the future, she might just be able to hold up the banner!

"Um, Elder, I..."
