So when it saw Lin Jingyi coming over, it called out "Master" without any pressure.

Lin Jingyi nodded; she could sense that Xuan Jiu was genuinely happy for her.

“Master, a group of cultivators came in from outside when you were undergoing your tribulation.”

"What is their cultivation level?" Lin Jingyi didn't expect that a cultivator would come to investigate him when he was undergoing a Golden Core tribulation.

"A mere Golden Core is nothing to fear." Xuan Jiu was somewhat smug; it could easily wipe out any of those outside with a flick of its tail.

But when he thought of the woman in front of him, who was only a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator when they first met, he felt somewhat discouraged.

"Can you shrink a little smaller?" Looking at Xuan Jiu, who was two heads taller than him, Lin Jingyi felt that he was a bit conspicuous.

I don't know what's going on outside, so I'd better keep a low profile.

Xuan Jiu didn't really want to shrink. After thinking for a moment, with a thought, a nine-headed black serpent as tall as an adult transformed into a man dressed in a black robe.

"How about this?" Xuan Jiu, now in human form, circled around in front of Lin Jingyi and asked.

Lin Jingyi crossed his arms and nodded, looking quite pleased with himself.

“Okay, let’s go out from the other side first and then blend into the crowd.” As he spoke, Lin Jingyi concealed himself and deliberately took a detour.

"Master, the barrier is just ahead." Xuan Jiu communicated with Lin Jingyi telepathically. Whether they could get out depended on this moment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyi turned around and put Xuan Jiu, who was following behind him, into his spatial storage, and continued walking forward.

After leaving the barrier, she released Xuan Jiu.

Xuan Jiu entered the space in the blink of an eye.

"Master, the space I just entered..." Xuan Jiu was released before he could even see the whole space, and couldn't help but ask Lin Jingyi out of curiosity.

"That was Xi's space just now, not mine. I'll explain that to you later." Lin Jingyi looked at Xuan Jiu's curious expression and felt a bit of a headache.

"In your current state, don't call me master anymore, call me by my name."

“Yes, Master Lin Jingyi.” Xuan Jiu nodded obediently.

Lin Jingyi forgot that he had told Xuan Jiu his real name.

Hearing his own name for a moment, Lin Jingyi was still a little dazed, but he quickly came to his senses and corrected himself: "From now on, my name in this world is Helanxi. Call me by my name, and don't add the word 'master'."

Seeing Lin Jingyi's serious expression, Xuan Jiu had no choice but to obey; her life was in his hands!

"Okay, Helanxi." Xuan Jiu felt something was off after saying that; it wasn't very warm or friendly.

"How about I call you Xiao Xi?" The little human should like that.

Lin Jingyi nodded, indicating that he could.

Xuan Jiu had many questions he wanted to ask this master, but seeing that the other party was clearly running out of patience, he had no choice but to give up.

"Xiao Xi, where are we going now?" Seeing Lin Jingyi walking towards the crowd, Xuan Jiu quickly caught up and asked in a low voice beside Lin Jingyi.

"Go see what those people are up to."

A short while later, the two appeared behind the crowd.

A dozen or so young cultivators stood on the outer edge of the barrier, looking in the direction where Lin Jingyi was undergoing his tribulation.

"Uncle-Master, is the one undergoing tribulation in the forbidden area human or demon?" One of the women in pink asked curiously as she walked towards a man.

The man addressed as "Uncle-Master" stood a short distance from the others, leaning against a large tree, his weapon held in front of his chest. Upon hearing this, he merely glanced at the woman indifferently, shook his head, and said nothing more.

The neglected woman showed no sign of distress, her gaze towards the man still burning with passion.

The other fellow cultivators were not surprised by this scene.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the man's gaze, which had been fixed on the barrier, abruptly turned towards the direction where Lin Jingyi and Xuan Jiu were.

He bypassed the woman in pink and walked towards them, sword in hand.

Lin Jingyi hadn't expected the man to be so perceptive. Just as he was about to strike first, he saw the man's face clearly and withdrew his attack, discarding the spell that concealed his identity.

The two suddenly appeared, and the other cultivators grabbed their weapons and walked towards them, ready to attack at any moment.

The woman in pink cried out, "Master Uncle, you're in danger!" and lunged at Lin Jingyi with her sword.

Xuan Jiu stood beside Lin Jingyi and waved his hand. The woman in pink was thrown to the side as if she had been hit hard. She crashed into a tree and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

"Senior Sister Yunqu!" "Junior Sister!"...

Seeing this, the other cultivators flew towards the woman in pink with concern. Several of them wanted to attack Lin Jingyi and his companion, but were stopped by the man who was called their senior uncle.

Although the people behind him were unwilling, they had no choice but to do as they were told.

The man cupped his hands in greeting to Xuan Jiu: "He Lanxu, a disciple of True Person Jing Shui of Pingyang Sect, pays his respects to True Person. I am a junior in the sect and I did not mean to offend you. I hope you will forgive me."

With his head bowed, the man's voice was cold and distant.

"Helanxi? You're also called Helanxi?" Xuan Jiu was a little confused. Why was this person's name the same as the little human's name in this world?

"Xiao Xi, that person used your name!" Xuan Jiu said, pointing at He Lanxu and looking at Lin Jingyi.

Lin Jingyi sighed, realizing that the two words were pronounced completely differently. He wondered how the dragon had misheard them.

"Are you stupid? That's Xu, not Xi. How could you believe that?"

Hearing this, Helanxu raised his head and looked at the girl he hadn't even glanced at the whole time.

The girl stood on tiptoe and tapped the man's head, her tone filled with disappointment. The man stood obediently, taking the scolding. They looked very close.

When his eyes met the woman's, and he saw that her face was seven or eight parts similar to his own, a guess welled up in Helanxu's heart. He couldn't believe that it could be true.

Lin Jingyi looked at He Lanxu, who was staring blankly at him, and approached him step by step, stopping when he was still half a meter away.

A smile played on her lips: "Brother, Xi'er has come to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a tear slid down Lin Jingyi's cheek. For some reason, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

In his previous life, Helanxu, driven mad by a desire for revenge for his family, killed his own child and that of his enemy, and was ultimately killed by both his former lover and his enemy...

This must be Xi's mood.

Helanxu tenderly wiped away his sister's tears. This was his only sister, the sister he had doted on since childhood.

A person must have suffered a lot while traversing a large forest...

"Why is Xi'er here? How are Father and Mother? And Xiao Jing?" When Helanxu arrived in the cultivation world, he was told to sever all ties with his family and stay away from worldly affairs. In the past ten years, he has often missed his relatives.

"Very good, everyone is doing well."

Upon hearing this, Helanxu was relieved: "Why is Xi'er here?"

"Cough cough... Uncle-Master, how could you be so gentle with that woman?"

With other cultivators offering her pills and using spells to heal her, Yun Qu's injuries were almost completely healed in an instant. As soon as she looked up, she saw a scene that made her jealous!

Seeing her uncle, who was usually cold and indifferent to her, treating another woman so gently, she felt a pang of jealousy.
