Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Xueyao recognized him immediately; it was the man who had followed her and claimed to be the emissary of the Shadow Pavilion. He had inexplicably proposed to her that they join forces to achieve something great.

Her face was solemn, and she said in a deep voice, "Is it you?" She keenly noticed that the person in front of her exuded a powerful aura, and was obviously not an ordinary person.

The black-robed man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. His voice was deep and magnetic, as if carrying a mysterious power. He said, "I am an envoy from the Shadow Pavilion, and I have come specially to visit Fairy Xueyao."

Xueyao's heart tightened when she heard this.

The Shadow Pavilion's messenger? Why is he so lingering?

She had clearly refused, but he still showed up suddenly. What did this mean? Did he have other intentions?

She forced herself to remain calm and said coldly, "I've said before that I have no connection with the Shadow Pavilion. I don't know why the messenger would visit so late at night, and what is your business?"

The black-robed envoy gently raised his hand, and an exquisite jade slip appeared in his palm. "This is a small gift from my Pavilion Master. Please take a look, Fairy."

He thought, Fairy Xueyao, please don't refuse any more. How many people can go against what my Pavilion Master has decided? You should just accept it with peace of mind.

Xue Yao stared at the jade slip with a sharp gaze, feeling mixed emotions.

Once you take over the jade slip, you may be caught in an unknown vortex, but refusing does not seem to be easy. The influence of the Shadow Pavilion is spread everywhere, and its leader is mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult to grasp his true intentions.

She sighed softly and slowly reached out her hand. As her fingertips touched the cold jade slip, a warm spiritual power quietly flowed into her body, as if telling her something. Xue Yao's heart trembled, and she quickly withdrew her hand, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.

"This item is too valuable. I, Xueyao, am just a newly ascended fairy. I'm afraid I can't bear its weight." She refused in a firm but polite tone.

The black-robed messenger didn't seem surprised by her reaction, and the faint smile was still on his lips.

He gently stroked the jade slip in his hand and said slowly, "Fairy, there is no need to worry. What is hidden within this jade slip is not gold, silver, or treasures, nor is it power or status. Instead, it is a matter of great importance to the lives of all people in the world. My Pavilion Master firmly believes that only the fairy can help him accomplish this great cause."

Xue Yao frowned slightly upon hearing this. Although she had just arrived in the Heavenly Realm, she knew a little about its complexities. In recent years, there had been occasional unrest, demons were rampant, and the people were suffering.

However, she did not want to get involved in any sect disputes, and even less wanted to become a pawn in the hands of others.

After calming herself down, Xue Yao took the jade slip and injected spiritual power into it to read the information inside.

After reading this, her face turned pale instantly and the jade slip in her hand almost slipped.

"What exactly does your Pavilion Master want?" Xue Yao's voice trembled slightly.

The black-robed envoy was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "The Pavilion Master hopes that the fairy will join the Shadow Pavilion and achieve great things together. This not only concerns personal honor and disgrace, but also the future of the entire heaven."

"Joining the Shadow Pavilion? We were talking about cooperation before, but now it's changed?" Isn't this asking for more? A chill flashed in Xueyao's eyes.

"Of course it would be better if you could join." The black-robed envoy said with a smile.

Xue Yao was so angry that she laughed. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "I'm just a small fairy. Why should I take on such an important task?"

"Fairy, why do you have to underestimate yourself? With your talent and strength, if you can cooperate with the Shadow Pavilion, you will definitely be able to create great achievements together. Moreover, the Pavilion Master promised that as long as the fairy is willing to join, any conditions can be negotiated." The eyes of the black-robed messenger revealed sincerity.

Xue Yao glared at him, "One moment you're talking about cooperation, the next moment you're talking about joining, what exactly do you want?"

She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then continued reading the jade slip. It contained information about the secrets of the heavenly realm, as well as the Shadow Pavilion's attention and evaluation of her and those around her.

After reading the jade slip, Xue Yao's expression grew even more solemn. She hadn't expected the Shadow Pavilion to pay so much attention to her and her companions. What was the hidden purpose behind this?

She narrowed her eyes slightly and gritted her teeth, "You actually secretly investigated me and my companions, why?"

Seeing her anger, the black-robed envoy said with a half-smile, "Fairy Xueyao, please cooperate with us."

Xue Yao tossed the jade slip back to the black-robed messenger and said coldly, "Thank you for the message, messenger, but please tell your Pavilion Master that I, Xue Yao, act with integrity and are not afraid of any threats or challenges. If the Shadow Pavilion truly has any intentions, feel free to attack."

The black-robed envoy smiled faintly, seemingly unsurprised by Xueyao's answer. "Fairy Xueyao is truly as capable as any man. I admire her. However, the Pavilion Master does not intend to be an enemy of the Fairy. Instead, he hopes we can have the opportunity to collaborate and explore the mysteries of the heavens together."

Cooperation? Xueyao's heart was already ringing with alarm. Was the Shadow Pavilion's intention really that simple?

On second thought, there was still much to learn. If we pushed the Shadow Pavilion too hard, unexpected events would arise. It would be better to use a delaying tactic to slow down the situation and clarify it first.

So she said calmly, "Let me consider the matter of cooperation. Please return, envoy."

Seeing her soften, the black-robed messenger nodded and vanished into the night in a flash. Xueyao was left alone in the courtyard, lost in thought for a long time...

The next day, Xueyao and her companions from the Secret Garden began their new life in the heavens. They diligently cultivated themselves while actively integrating into this world full of mysteries and opportunities.

As for the Shadow Pavilion trying to win over Xue Yao, she thought it might be a good idea to use this as a touchstone on their path to growth.

The courtyard they lived in could be rented or bought. At first, Xueyao took into consideration that they had just arrived in Kaijie and the situation was not stable yet, so she decided to rent it for a month or two.

Later, I thought, since I'm unfamiliar with the place anyway, I might as well take it as a chance to gain experience and settle down here. After discussing with my friends, we decided to buy this courtyard and use it as our base in the heavenly realm.

Xueyao set about purchasing the courtyard. The agent enthusiastically introduced the courtyard to her in all its details and gave her some important considerations. Xueyao listened carefully and inquired meticulously, not missing a single detail.

While inspecting the yard, Xueyao discovered a secluded corner. Curious, she walked over and pushed open a shabby door, revealing a dusty smell. It felt a bit strange, but she didn't say anything in front of the dealer.

After completing the purchase paperwork for the courtyard, Xueyao and her friends began decorating their new home. They filled every necessary space. Working together, they quickly made the courtyard feel more like home.

Xue Yao planted some magical flowers and herbs in the yard, making the whole yard full of vitality and spiritual energy.

Of course, while they were enjoying this peaceful moment, Xueyao hadn't forgotten about the Shadow Pavilion. She needed to carefully plan this matter.
