There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Meeting his surprised and uncertain gaze, Gu Xia smiled and said, "That's right, I went with him."

"But that's not entirely true. It should be said that he took my soul with him."

Li Tingyun: "..."

Gu Xia's consistently terrible description was truly choking.

He took a deep breath, then another, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. "You fucking led a member of the Spirit Clan into our sect to steal your own corpse? And you even took our sect's ancient ice bed?"

If someone steals their own corpse, are they even human?

Aren't these two weirdos?

After being bombarded with a long string of questions, Li Tingyun's face turned red.

Gu Xia: "Huh? How can you call it a corpse?"

She asserted confidently, "I was still alive at that time, only my soul drifted away."

"Besides, I didn't steal anyone's corpse."

Is there a problem with her spirit leading people to her physical body?

no problem.

Is this even the point?

Gu Lanyi also fell silent for a moment.

He realized that his skills were still lacking, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but grind his teeth. Gu Xia, on the other hand, looked completely innocent, leaving him speechless.

Gu Lanyi glanced at Mu Qingzhou out of the corner of her eye and saw his calm and collected demeanor.

He immediately used the same line Li Tingyun had just uttered, "So you, a dignified Holy Son of the Spirit Clan, just followed Gu Xia to steal corpses like that?"

hiss.

Stealing corpses is something they really came up with.

Mu Qingzhou's smile froze.

"Why not just say it directly? Why bother stealing?" It's estimated that the people of Xuanming Sect haven't encountered anything like this in hundreds of years. When he left, he vaguely heard an elder slapping his thigh and cursing the unknown thief.

I never expected things to develop in such a bizarre way.

I doubt anyone would believe me even if I told them.

Gu Xia helplessly spread her hands, "I just came back to life and then I heard that the demons were blocking my door trying to take my body. Weren't they so powerful and imposing in the cultivation world?"

"And if the news that I'm not dead gets out before we figure out the situation, then I might actually be dead now."

She quickly and concisely explained what had happened to her.

Shu Yue nodded slightly, "You've thought things through very well."

After all, a group of people who betrayed the cultivation world had just been exposed during the chaos not long ago. If Gu Xia had sent them a message at that time, there was a high chance that they would have been exposed.

Xu Xingmu finally found an opportunity and hurriedly interjected, "Phoenix essence blood? Was it given by the Heavenly Dao?"

He only remembered that they were separated from their junior sister for a period of time in the Land of Fallen Souls.

"No." Gu Xia had just uttered this word when she inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine. She said without changing her expression, "Half and half."

The main reason is that she worked hard enough; Gou Tiandao clearly kicked her inside without saying a word.

At best, it only serves as a navigation tool.

What? You're not even allowed to speak?

Everyone was surprised that Gu Xia had such an opportunity, and while they were amazed, they were also happy for her.

Fortunately, they had this thing, otherwise they might not have been able to see Gu Xia again.

Even though the question had been answered, Xie Baiyi still stared at her expressionlessly.

Gu Xia tilted her head to avoid it.

He kept watching.

"What are you doing?"

The boy's expression was indifferent. He paused for a moment, then said, "We can't pass this message on to too many people, including me?"

Gu Xia: "?"

Xie Baiyi pursed his lips, "You could have informed me beforehand when we were inside the formation."

Even if you don't trust too many people, at least at that time it was only him, so you didn't have to worry about the news leaking out.

He still thought that Gu Xia should trust him.

Gu Xia: "..."

This time she was truly innocent.

Xie Baiyi's mention of it only made things worse, because Gu Xia couldn't help but say, "I already told you."

"???"

Xu Xingmu immediately widened her eyes, "Oh, so you were just putting on an act for us all along?"

No, no.

Cen Huan retorted on his behalf, "You're overthinking it. My senior brother's acting skills aren't that good."

Based on her understanding of Xie Baiyi over the years, what she had said before didn't seem like an act.

After receiving a barrage of skeptical glances from his trusted followers, Xie Baiyi calmly said, "You didn't."

Gu Xia: "Didn't I say goodbye to you back then?"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, she said confidently, "What I mean is to tell you not to panic, we will meet again soon."

Xie Baiyi: "..."

and many more.

He was baffled. "Goodbye... doesn't that mean never seeing each other again?"

Who taught her to pass messages like that?

Is this a cultivation world version of reading comprehension?

The others also fell silent.

"Well, logically speaking, Xie Baiyi's understanding of 'goodbye' is not wrong."

"Even two words can contain such an ingenious meaning." Sang Wan rested her chin on her hand. "I understand."

"Is this why Gu Xia was able to become a Tribulation Transcender?"

Gu Lanyi coldly uttered, "No, you realized it too early."

"It's obvious that no normal person would think like that; it just shows that her thought process is inhuman."

Shen Weixun glanced at him indifferently, "You're not human."

Why would he insult his junior sister for no reason?

A flurry of glares immediately flew from all around.

"..."

Very good, they really are disciples who have loved reading comprehension all their lives.

Xie Baiyi took a breath, then took another deep breath, "So the reason you handed over all your possessions to me back then, and even froze me into an ice sculpture, was because..."

"Because I'll be back." Gu Xia raised an eyebrow slightly. "As for why I froze you into an ice sculpture? It's because I was afraid you'd get struck by lightning. Ice doesn't conduct electricity, you know?"

Seeing Xie Baiyi's blank expression, she immediately started pointing at him and saying, "That was a self-destruction, do you understand? I was taking a gamble back then. What if the lightning from the explosion accidentally struck you and killed you if I didn't freeze you?"

Of course, the most important thing is that he still has all of her belongings, but Gu Xia wisely chose not to say it.

Otherwise, she was afraid Xie Baiyi would be so angry with her that he would die.

Gu Xia removed the magical artifacts from the great demon beforehand to protect him, a double precaution to be prepared for any eventuality.

This idea was rather novel, and the other disciples nodded in agreement, silently noting it down in their hearts.

I've learned something; maybe I can try it next time they get struck by lightning.

If Gu Xia knew that they were so audacious as to try to provoke the lightning tribulation, she would probably praise them as "awesome".

She couldn't guarantee whether it would succeed, but if they really dared to do it, Heaven would probably let them know why the flowers were so red in the next second.

Xie Baiyi was stunned.

So it's all his fault?
