Chapter 295: Chapter 296: Three Goals, My Name is Li Dabai

Li Xiaobai turned around in surprise, and the person behind him was none other than his Second Senior Sister Ye Wushuang.

It was she who had usurped the first place in the Elixir Sect’s grand competition. He had not expected to be found so quickly.

“Second Senior Sister, long time no see, I’ve missed you dearly!”

Li Xiaobai said, his eyes brimming with tears and his face filled with excitement.

“Such sweet talk, you must have said the same to our sixth junior brother before you played him like a fiddle. He’s probably fuming with murderous rage by now.”

Ye Wushuang said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Not at all, our sixth senior brother walked away with a hefty fortune. Bearing a bit of pressure is only right and just. I believe, with his skills, he’s sure to turn misfortune into a blessing.”

Li Xiaobai said with an embarrassed expression. It seemed that Liu Jinshui’s influence was significant, as even Second Senior Sister was aware of what had happened.

“That’s not how our sixth junior brother sees it. He’s said that if he survives this ordeal, he plans to stick with you to the end.”

Ye Wushuang handed Li Xiaobai a letter she had taken from her chest. It was a hurried message from Liu Jinshui on the run, asking her to deliver it to Li Xiaobai. Liu Jinshui could no longer stay in Central Province, but he was certain Li Xiaobai would come here to participate in the Three Sects’ grand competition.

Li Xiaobai accepted the envelope, which was inscribed with “For Little Junior Brother’s Eyes Only.”

Opening it, he read the content carefully, and his expression became rather vivid.

“Little Junior Brother, I must say you’re quite something. Back then when we teamed up to ambush cultivators in the Divine Beast Mountain Range, you were still a fledgling. I never imagined that in just a few months, you’d even play your senior brother. But I don’t blame you; in our line of work, there is no such thing as fraternal affection. Once I shake off those pursuing me, I’ll come find you and play a proper game to see how much you’ve progressed in these days.”

“Make sure you have the tuition ready. Your senior brother’s services come at a steep price.”

Though the letter from Liu Jinshui contained no curse words, the resentment seeping through was enough to make even Li Xiaobai shiver.

This time it appeared he had bitten off more than he could chew. Their sixth senior brother was caught in endless pursuit; no one knew how many resources he truly possessed, and as the rumors grew, so did the number of envious cultivators.

However, between the lines, it was not difficult to see that the other party was confident. Shaking off those pursuers should not be a problem, and upon meeting again, they would likely end up outwitting each other.

The sixth senior brother’s maneuvers were quite clever; a slight misstep could very well lead to one’s downfall. But no matter, Li Xiaobai’s defensive power was about to reach a major milestone. Once he broke through to the next stage, he would fear no traps.

“Sixth Senior Brother is truly a man of character. When we meet again, I will be sure to comfort him. But I didn’t expect to meet you here, Senior Sister. Such fate. Where might the other senior brothers and sisters be?”

Li Xiaobai pocketed the letter and asked cheerfully.

“The brothers and sisters have all gone to seek their own fortunes. It seems that our sixth junior brother has fled to the Southern Sea, and your third senior brother appears to have some grievances with the Kingdom of Women, so our eldest senior sister has gone to assist him. The fourth and fifth have gone to an old and influential power for cultivation.”

“There is something going on with me, so I wanted to come to the Elixir Sect to confirm it, but now it’s become impossible.”

Ye Wushuang said slowly, knowing her defense of Li Xiaobai had been too obvious and that making an appearance in the Elixir Sect now would likely lead to trouble.

“What’s wrong with you, Senior Sister? Perhaps I can be of some help.”

Li Xiaobai offered.

“Actually, it’s not just me with a problem. It’s likely all seven of us brothers and sisters share it. I’m sure you’ve also noticed that the pace of our senior brothers and sisters’ strength growth is too rapid, simpler than eating or drinking.”

Ye Wushuang sighed.

Li Xiaobai: ???

Does that sound like something a person would say?

What kind of question is that, are you showing off some fancy moves?

Seeming to notice Li Xiaobai’s confusion, Ye Wushuang said indifferently, “Little junior brother, do you think it’s a good thing that your cultivation speed is unbelievably fast? You’ve gone from a mere mortal to tough enough to go toe to toe with a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in just a few months.”

“As for your senior sister, she soared from the Golden Core Stage to the Tribulation Crossing Stage in just a few months as well. Such a rate of cultivation is absurdly fast. Ordinary people who learn about this would only feel envious, but you and I are different. The troubles that come with such top-tier talent may only be something that geniuses like us can truly understand.”

“It’s too fast. This cultivation is as simple as breathing. Junior Brother Lin Yin feels there must be something wrong with it, so several of us have spread out to explore in all corners of the world.”

“You should also be more careful in your daily life, junior brother.”

“I will be careful,” the junior brother replied.

Li Xiaobai was speechless; his Second Senior Sister came just to show off. So what if you have high talent; why show off like this?

But then again, his senior brothers and sisters were indeed a bit terrifying. He was advancing steadily only because he had the System, while those six senior brothers and sisters were capable of keeping up with his pace, which probably meant they all had some significant secrets.

As for those troubles that supposedly only geniuses have, in Li Xiaobai’s view, that was utter nonsense. How many people would kill for the chance to advance quickly? Who would worry about their cultivation speed being too fast?

“I’ve been nervous and afraid all day, and have become quite thin. You should take care of your health, junior brother,” Ye Wushuang said.

Ye Wushuang touched her lower abdomen, tracing out an enticing curve.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaobai’s eyes swept over the peaks on Ye Wushuang’s chest and he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, “Junior brother actually thinks that senior sister’s health is just fine, still firm and strong!”

“Bang!”

A tremendous force struck, and Li Xiaobai was slammed into the ground head-first, leaving only his legs flailing wildly above the surface.

“If you’re in trouble and can’t handle it, just shout for help, and your senior sister will come to clean up the mess,” she said.

A breeze blew by, and the cool voice gradually faded.

“Senior sister is so domineering!”

Li Xiaobai murmured to himself, wriggling his body in the dirt, pulling himself out.

Looking around and seeing no one, Li Xiaobai knew that Second Senior Sister was hiding within Central City, and would certainly come to his aid if he encountered danger.

Second Senior Sister was good, unlike the sixth senior brother who always thought about how to scheme against him whenever they met, planning everything out so clearly.

After straightening out his clothes and grabbing the continuously humming Ji Wuqing, he walked towards the city gate again, chest out and head high.

“As the saying goes, ‘Third time’s the charm,’ I, Li Xiaobai, am back, let’s go!”

This time, Li Xiaobai approached the western gate, which was the territory of the Array Formation Sect. The number of cultivator guards at the gate had increased from a few to dozens, suggesting that the Array Formation Sect had taken precautions and anticipated that he might attack them again.

But that didn’t matter, he had the Human Skin Mask. His appearance and temperament had changed drastically; there was no way he could be recognized.

He walked slowly into the line, appearing to be an honest and simple figure.

Half an hour later, a guard came over for a routine inspection.

“What is your surname and name?”

“Greetings, officer, I’m called Li Dabai.”
