The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

The tiny Xi Zhaozhao had just finished her morning practice and wanted to come to Lao Ba to talk about her troubles in practice.

Seeing Gu Junming coming back, the worries in her heart immediately disappeared and she ran over happily.

"Zhao Zhao." Gu Junming couldn't help but smile as soon as he saw his little junior sister.

Just as he was about to bend down and stroke Xi Zhaozhao's little head as usual, the person next to him suddenly pushed him away with his butt.

"Ah! Big Brother, are you okay?"

"Hahahaha, this is Zhao Zhao."

Shangguan Zimo stood in front of Xi Zhaozhao and tried his best to make his smile warm and friendly.

To be honest, if Shangguan Zimo didn't understand Gu Junming's temper.

The first time he saw Xi Zhaozhao, he might have mistaken her for Gu Junming's daughter born outside.

After all, at their age, they are already past the marriageable age in the secular world.

In addition, Gu Junming threatened ten years ago that he would take them to meet his younger brother and sister-in-law if he had the chance.

So it’s not surprising that Shangguan Zimo had this idea.

"Who is this senior brother?"

Xi Zhaozhao's eyes were filled with great confusion, but she soon figured something out.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he blurted out:

"It's Senior Brother Gu, right?"

Senior Brother Gu?

Shangguan Zimo was stunned for a moment and almost thought it was the Gu family of the Nanwu Domain's "Peerless Demon-Shocking Fist".

"What a misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding. I am not your Senior Brother Gu."

There was a hint of fondness in his eyes, and he chuckled:

"But you can also call me Brother Shangguan."

"Senior Brother Shangguan?"

"Yes."

Although Xi Zhaozhao had never heard of this "Senior Brother Shangguan", she saw Gu Junming, who was sitting on the ground rubbing his butt, and Lao Ba, who was lost in thought, didn't say anything.

She immediately called out sweetly, “Senior Brother Shangguan”!

"Hey~"

The call of "Senior Brother" made Shangguan Zimo feel refreshed.

At this moment, he could somewhat understand why Gu Junming, who was living well outside, suddenly expressed his doubts about returning to the sect.

Shang Gong Zimo rummaged through his pockets and sleeves, finding several storage rings of different colors, and pondered what kind of gift would be suitable for Xi Zhaozhao.

Giving spirit stones as a gift seems too perfunctory.

I want to send the magic weapon, but I am worried that Xi Zhaozhao will hurt himself if he operates it improperly.

But if it's a panacea...

With Lao Gu around, there probably won’t be a shortage of these things.

What should I give as a gift?

It's really hard to decide...

"What are you doing?"

Gu Junming walked over, stroking his lower back.

"I'm thinking about what kind of gift to give to 'Junior Sister'."

Shangguan Zimo pondered for a moment, but couldn't come up with a decision, so he simply asked:

"Old Gu, what do you think I should give Zhao Zhao?"

"Then why don't you just ask Zhao Zhao what she likes? There's no point in asking me!"

Gu Junming curled his lips and was speechless.

He is not omniscient and omnipotent, so how does he know what to give?

"OK then."

Shangguan Zimo leaned over and asked patiently, as if coaxing a child:

"Zhao Zhao, do you have anything you like? Can Senior Brother Shanggong give it to you?"

"I like it..."

Xi Zhaozhao rolled her eyes and thought about it. It seemed that there was nothing particularly worth liking about her.

But if I have to say, Master, Big Brother, Brother Xiao, Sister Yan...

Everything related to Taiyi Gate.

她都喜欢。

Wait! Xi Zhaozhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed to understand what she wanted!

"Senior Brother Shangguan!"

"Yes, have you thought about it?"

"Yeah! I want to be the leader of the sect!"

Xi Zhaozhao said seriously.

Shangguan Zimo: “…”

It seems that this thing is not something he can give away just because he wants to.

The little girl is young, but she has great ambitions.

"or......"

"How about I give you a substitute puppet?"

Shanggong Zimo suddenly remembered that he was still carrying a substitute puppet made by the fourth in command of Xiaoyao Tower.

His strength is average, and his cultivation level is only at the Tuoyuan realm.

However, you can use your mind to enter the core and control the puppet to do whatever you want.

Shanggong Zimo usually likes to separate a wisp of his spiritual consciousness into the puppet, doing two things at once, making it serve tea and water on his behalf, clean the pavilion, and occasionally use it to massage his shoulders and relieve fatigue.

After saying that, a streak of light flew out from his palm.

A pitch-black puppet made of fine steel and with the physique of an adult appeared before everyone.

"This stuff is good."

Gu Junming nodded in agreement, "I had always wanted Fourth Sister to refine a silver puppet for me, but then she went on a long journey, so the matter fell through."

"Old Gu, you didn't take it to heart, but Fourth Sister remembered it very well."

Shangguan Zimo laughed and scolded, "Because of you, the guy who never came back, my fourth sister made a silver puppet in your image and placed it in my office."

"Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and think I've seen a ghost!"

“It’s really scary…”

Gu Junming shuddered inexplicably.

A silver puppet was specially made in his image and placed in the office of the second in command of Xiaoyao Tower.

Not to mention what the second brother would do with this puppet, just thinking about it is scary!

"What the hell is this..."

Xi Zhaozhao circled around the burly, iron-clad substitute puppet that was so cold it seemed to have no emotions.

Somewhat suspiciously:

"I think I've seen this thing before."

"Seen?"

Shanggong Zimo raised his eyebrows.

At this time, Gu Junming explained:

"Zhao Zhao and Lao Ba are from the Western Heaven Region. The Bailian Pavilion is right there, so it's normal for them to have seen the Iron Puppet Guards."

Shanggong Zimo suddenly understood.

It turns out that this lively and active junior sister and the silent junior brother are both from the Western Heaven Region.

The climate there is extremely polarized.

On one side is the yellow sand desert;

On one side are snow-capped mountains.

The former is extremely hot, while the latter is extremely cold. The local residents have a very hard life.

And in order to improve this situation.

Bailian Pavilion spent a huge amount of money to develop a "stand-in puppet" that is not afraid of scorching heat or extreme cold.

It really provides great convenience for the people.

The fourth leader of their Xiaoyao clan was a disciple of the Bailian Pavilion in the Western Heaven Realm.

"No, Big Brother!"

Xi Zhaozhao shook her head and said firmly, "The iron puppets I've seen have faces, but this one doesn't. So, Senior Brother Shanggong's is not an iron puppet guard!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into silence for a long time, just like Lao Ba.

After a moment, Shangguan Zimo turned his head to look at Gu Junming, and said with a forced smile: "Old Gu, it seems that your junior sister's knowledge is also rich and colorful."

"Um......"

Gu Junming gave a bitter smile, not knowing how to tell his little junior sister the cruel truth.

What she saw was not an iron golem guard.

But it’s… “human puppet”!

Among the twelve halls of the Blood Alliance, the cruel Puppet Heart Hall uses human bodies to refine "human puppets"!

Bailian Pavilion has a rule that, due to various ethical or moral constraints, all substitute puppets must not be made to look like living people. At the same time, it is also not allowed to add finishing touches or add facial features to the puppets without authorization.

Otherwise, over time, there is a small chance that the puppet will become psychic and develop self-awareness.

And they cannot judge whether this newly born soul is good or evil.

Therefore, it is in the Western Heaven Region.

Puppets with human faces are taboo!

This is also the reason why Gu Junming was disgusted by the Fourth Master's decision to use his face to shape the silver puppet.
