Chapter 193 What I cultivate is definitely not an evil cultivation method.
Facing the summon from his master, Li Xingtian naturally rushed over rapidly.
Li Xingtian, who did not stop for a moment along the way, hurriedly arrived in Chizhou and reached the inn where his master had previously rented a room.
Li Xingtian pushed open the inn room door.
His master and Eldest Senior Sister were indeed sitting on the chairs inside the room.
Li Xingtian stepped closer, but soon paused his steps slightly.
Because the way his own master and Eldest Senior Sister looked at him... was a bit not quite right.
Especially Eldest Senior Sister! That look of sizing him up and down, examining him, was extremely not right.
Chu Xingchen looked at the hesitant-faced Li Xingtian and nodded lightly, saying:
"See, your junior brother is still suitable, right?"
Li Yingling's gaze carefully examined him for a while, then she nodded affirmatively and said: "Indeed suitable."
Li Xingtian heard this and immediately turned around—coming to Chizhou was a mistake; it would be better to watch that stupid Flood Dragon explode into the sky.
It was hard to say about Master, but when Eldest Senior Sister revealed a sizing-up expression.
What came to greet him was absolutely nothing good.
However, Li Xingtian soon stopped his steps, because his master, who was the best in the world to him, called out to stop him:
"Xingtian, why are you leaving? Come here quickly, Master has a good task to entrust to you."
Although he was the best in the world with Master, Li Xingtian could not believe these words against his conscience.
But Li Xingtian helplessly halted his steps, and after making mental preparations, still sat down at the table.
He looked at Master and Eldest Senior Sister, taking the initiative to speak and play the emotional card first:
"Master, Eldest Senior Sister..."
As Eldest Senior Sister, Li Yingling naturally understood her second junior brother, and she interrupted, saying:
"I know our sect's feelings are deep; if you don't believe Master, you should believe me. This time it is absolutely a good job."
Li Xingtian heard this and was slightly speechless, looking at Li Yingling with a somewhat strange gaze.
These words are truly turning heaven and earth upside down.
If his Eldest Senior Sister weren't here, Li Xingtian could still calmly sit down facing Master's gaze and listen to what Master had to say.
But with Eldest Senior Sister here, who knows what unconstrained and imaginative schemes this eccentric and slightly too smart Eldest Senior Sister might think of.
It was also hard to guarantee that his own master didn't want to see some fun, which was why he agreed to Eldest Senior Sister's plan.
"Hmm..." Li Xingtian responded somewhat against his will, "Is there something you need me to handle this time?"
Li Yingling coughed lightly and started to say:
"Master and I had a full harvest on our trip to the Capital City; we basically solved most of this thief's plans and found a lot of information we needed before."
Li Xingtian heard this and skillfully nodded to play along.
Regarding Eldest Senior Sister, Li Xingtian had some experience; she didn't easily believe strangers' words and was even extremely guarded against them.
But when people from her own sect spoke, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, her first reaction was always to believe them. Also, because Eldest Senior Sister was still too young.
If junior brothers and sisters played along appropriately, the somewhat face-loving Eldest Senior Sister would be quite happy.
Also, if Master played along, she would probably be the happiest.
Sure enough, Li Yingling nodded quite appreciatively and continued:
"Although in the Capital City, I don't know if the Emperor is hiding it slightly or truly doesn't know, Master and I went to Bingzhou to understand the situation, and that Bingzhou is indeed connected to the previous Demon Country Rebellion."
"In Bingzhou, we met the Tiger Demon's former advisor—that fox."
Li Yingling's words reached this point, and she was just about to open her mouth to explain to Li Xingtian the specific character relationships of the Demon Country Rebellion.
After all, Li Xingtian did not participate in the thrilling Demon Country Rebellion, which was very regrettable.
The most regrettable thing was not seeing her own brilliance; although he didn't see it, she could still tell her junior brother about her brilliance.
However, Li Xingtian nodded with an understanding expression:
"It's the fox by the side of Demon King Kunshan, right? The one who stabbed an owl?"
Li Yingling was somewhat astonished and said: "How do you know that?"
Li Xingtian solved the puzzle for Eldest Senior Sister: "When I was bored, I read that summary by Fifth Junior Brother. Although it looks like there's a lot of artistic embellishment, the basic plot is quite comprehensive, and it was actually quite good to read."
Li Yingling had naturally also read that bullshit summary written by Cui Hao; after all, the first time she beat up her fellow sect junior brother was also because of this summary.
That summary not only failed to write in her superb performance, but even vaguely portrayed her as a leading Eldest Senior Sister with unconstrained ideas but muddled execution.
And he (Cui Hao) was the helpless young junior brother who saw through the situation but had little influence and a weak voice, unable to change Eldest Senior Sister's foolish behavior.
Li Yingling watched Li Xingtian seemingly taking that bullshit summary seriously, and made another decision in her heart.
Wait until they go back and beat that blind Cui Hao up again!
Li Yingling calmed her mood; after all, there were still matters to attend to now, so she continued:
"Back then, I went to the Main Mountain with Senior Bai to suppress the rebellion, killing that group of demons until they scattered and fled. At that time, I proposed to capture the ringleader first to capture all; after all, those demons were not considered first-class, so if we executed the culprits, the rest of the demons would naturally scatter and flee."
"We didn't carefully check if we killed them all clean; we didn't expect that the fox would still escape."
Although Eldest Senior Sister's words differed somewhat from the summary in Cui Hao's script.
But Li Xingtian continued to play along and nodded.
In Cui Hao's script, it was Senior Bai who found it troublesome, swept his spiritual consciousness around, and locked onto some Golden Core Demon Kings.
Then with one peak and one sword, he directly razed the mountains where the Demon Kings lived to the ground, blasting them into huge pits, and then drifted away leisurely.
He even specially instructed Li Yingling and Cui Hao—don't say this Seat did it; I can't afford to lose that face.
During this description process, Cui Hao was very envious of this top-tier cultivator's demeanor.
Especially that sentence Bai Xuanling said: I can't afford to lose that face.
It was simply too pretentious!
Obviously, Cui Hao also wanted to become a top-tier cultivator like Bai Xuanling and then say equally pretentious words.
Li Xingtian slightly compared the two people's words and felt that Cui Hao's description should be closer to reality.
But putting it that way, that day the fox probably wasn't by that Tiger Demon's side, so he picked back a life.
Li Xingtian asked: "Was the fox captured by you, Master?"
Li Yingling shook her head slightly and said: "We didn't capture him, fearing to startle the snake, but Master used a set of Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water on him, which basically fooled him completely."
"That fox doesn't know much; the fox participated in the rebel army and planned strategies for the rebels, seemingly also to avenge that Tiger Demon."
"However, there is some information; in the fox's memory, there was a black-robed Nascent Soul Great Demon controlling things from behind during the Demon Country Rebellion."
"After the Demon Country Rebellion ended, it was this Nascent Soul Great Demon who specially invited the fox to participate in this Bingzhou Rebellion and bewitched him by saying that humans are the root of all evil."
"So regardless of whether this Nascent Soul Great Demon is the real thief, there is no doubt that the Demon Country Rebellion and the Bingzhou Rebellion were both paving the way for the thief's actions."
Li Xingtian nodded lightly, but was somewhat confused; what did this intelligence have to do with him?
Li Yingling coughed lightly and said: "We have already driven the rebel army into a desperate situation in Bingzhou, and Chizhou is very likely crucial to the thief."
"Moreover, the hope of finally influencing the Black Tortoise Country should also be in Chizhou, so we need a person to scout out intelligence for us."
"Among so many people, only you are the most suitable."
Li Xingtian asked somewhat puzzled: "Why?"
Li Yingling said as a matter of course: "Among everyone, only the cultivation technique you practice is most likely to be recruited by them."
Li Xingtian understood instantly upon hearing this. He stood up, his tone serious and sincere as he said:
"Senior Sister, what I cultivate is not an evil cultivation technique!"
As Li Xingtian spoke, he looked at his own master; after all, the cultivation technique was given by his master.
Master would definitely refute his Senior Sister's implication for him.
Facing Li Xingtian's gaze, Chu Xingchen chose to lower his head and take a sip of tea.
Gift... give some gifts.
