After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

The man in black ignored Lin Xian'er's words and continued to concentrate on activating the magic weapon called Soul Killer in his hand.

It happened so quickly that in the next second, there was a loud "bang", like the sound of a huge bell, deafening.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was an extremely huge iron pot falling from the sky, hitting the head of the man in black who was activating the magic weapon.

In an instant, the man in black fell forward as if struck by a heavy hammer, raising a cloud of dust, while the iron pot landed steadily on the ground with a dull thud.

(⊙o⊙)…, all the men in black were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. They stared at the leading man in black in amazement, as if they were under a spell. What was going on?

However, before they could come to their senses, a large number of iron pots suddenly appeared in the sky like dumplings and fell towards them like meteorites. Everyone panicked and scattered in all directions.

Lin Xian'er and the other two took advantage of the chaotic situation and fled like cunning rabbits. After escaping, Lin Xian'er looked back at the beleaguered men in black and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, "Hahaha, let's see how you guys keep chasing me. I can't kill you with my own hammers, humph."

Xie Qijun smiled, his eyes filled with endless doting as he quietly gazed at the quirky Lin Xian'er before him, secretly sighing in his heart, "Master, why are you so naughty again?"

Qi Miao, who knew Lin Xian'er's character well, knew that if they continued to wander around like this, they would probably cause more trouble. So, he made a quick decision and decided not to waste any more time. He led Lin Xian'er and Xie Qi on horseback and headed straight for Tianji Gate.

After a long journey, the three finally arrived at the foot of Tianjimen Mountain.

After standing still, Qi Miao looked up at the towering mountain peaks, and a familiar and intimate feeling came over him. At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly. He secretly complained in his heart that these days had been really difficult for him.

Thinking back on the hardships and setbacks he had experienced along the way, especially the several times he had nearly had his innocence ruined, Qi Miao felt a wave of fear. Thinking of this, he felt ashamed to face his beloved Xixi, and his heart was filled with guilt - he was no longer as pure and clean as before.

Just as Qi Miao was immersed in painful memories, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking slowly in the distance. The figure looked so familiar, as if it was Xixi, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

In an instant, Qi Miao seemed to be under a spell. He rushed over without hesitation, hugged the figure tightly, and shouted excitedly: "Wow~, Xixi, I almost never see you again, wuwuwuwuwu..." At this time, he no longer cared about his image, and tears flowed down like a broken dam.

"It's okay, it's okay, big brother, please don't be sad anymore. No matter what happens, Xixi will always be by your side," Duan Xixi gently and patiently comforted Qi Miao who was crying in front of her.

Her senior brother was good in every way except for this one little flaw—he cried too easily! But, strangely enough, Duan Xixi didn't feel annoyed by this aspect of him. Instead, she even had a slight fondness for him.

Time passed slowly like the gurgling of a stream, and before he knew it, a full fifteen minutes had passed. Unexpectedly, Qi Miao's deep sobs showed no sign of stopping, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and pain in his heart through tears.

Lin Xian'er, standing nearby, saw this scene and couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, her face filled with surprise. She thought to herself: How could a grown man like Qi Miao be so fragile? Look at him, crying like a child, with no sign of stopping. Hiss, hiss, hiss, so pitiful.

If we don't find a way to stop him from continuing to cry endlessly like this, who knows how long it will last.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian'er quickly said, "Why don't we go in first? Maybe your Grand Master is already waiting anxiously."

After saying that, she glanced at Qi Miao and Duan Xixi, feeling somewhat puzzled. She couldn't guess what the Grand Master from the Tianji Sect wanted to talk to her about. What if he wanted her to do something big like saving the world? Then, she should definitely not be asked to do it. She wasn't good at such a difficult task; she was completely out of her element.

Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Duan Xixi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Lin Xian'er with a hint of apology, then reached out and gently patted Qi Miao, who was still sobbing, and softly advised, "Big Brother, please quickly take your two fellow immortals to pay your respects to the Grand Master. He has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing Duan Xixi's words, Qi Miao slowly raised his head, and his eyes, which were originally blurred with tears, now looked even more pitiful.

He stared at Duan Xixi eagerly, his lips slightly pouting, as if he had suffered a great injustice. After a long while, he nodded reluctantly, mumbling, "Okay... I get it... It's just that I haven't spent enough time with you, Xixi..."

But soon, Qi Miao thought of something, and a smile reappeared on his face. He said to himself, "Hehe, anyway, I'm back to the sect now. I'll have plenty of time to be with Xixi every day in the future. I feel happy just thinking about it."

After saying that, Qi Miao sniffed, tried hard to stop his tears, turned around and led Lin Xian'er and others towards where the Grand Master was.

Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun followed Qi Miao and slowly stepped into the territory of Tianji Sect.

Looking up, one sees the mountains towering like giants between heaven and earth, soaring into the clouds. Their majestic presence inspires awe. Yet, within this magnificent scene, a hint of mystery lingers, as if these peaks conceal countless unknown secrets waiting to be explored.

Not long after, Qi Miao led Lin Xian'er and the others to the foot of a mountain deep in the Tianji Gate.

This peak stood out from the others, its appearance somewhat desolate, eliciting a sense of heaviness and oppression. Looking up, there was hardly any green vegetation to be seen atop it, only vast expanses of exposed rock and earth, a desolate and lonely scene. Occasionally, a few small, withered trees dotted the mountainside, but they seemed drained of life, devoid of any sign of life.

The entire mountain seems to be shrouded by an invisible force, which makes people feel intimidated and dare not approach it easily.
