With every frown and smile, she seemed capable of outshining all the flowers; no wonder she had countless admirers.

In front of Ye Guo'er, Lin Xiao couldn't be too intimate with Bai Xu'er.

In front of Bai Xuer, he no longer hugged Ye Guoer, and the two maintained a proper master-disciple relationship.

"Third Master, you look a bit haggard!" Lin Xiao said.

He sensed a weariness in Bai Xuer's expression.

"There are too many things to deal with these days."

Bai Xuer sighed.

She has always been devoted to swordsmanship and disliked dealing with sect affairs, but now she has been forced into this role.

I've been completely exhausted during this period.

In comparison, she would much rather have a few sparring matches with others, which would be much easier than what she's doing now.

"Why don't you tell me more details?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Most things are fine; the elders can handle them."

"But some things require the intervention of experts at the Sky-Gazing Realm, such as dealing with some remnants of the Southern Heaven Alliance."

"Although the palace masters are helping, there are still not enough people."

Bai Xuer explained slowly.

The Southern Alliance is a powerful and deeply rooted organization, and naturally, many of its remnants are still around.

Even though Bai Xuer had taken action before, she hadn't been able to completely resolve the issue in one go.

If you can't beat someone, you can simply hide for a while.

Moreover, some of the powerful figures from the Southern Heaven Alliance were not originally from various sects, making them even more difficult to find.

"Aren't those renowned experts like the Primordial Daoist and the Earth Sword Master going to lend a hand?"

Lin Xiao asked.

"I did go to them once, but unfortunately I was rejected."

Bai Xuer said with a hint of helplessness.

Those people were all of a higher generation than her, and she felt embarrassed to force them to do anything.

"That's it!"

Lin Xiao stroked his chin and said, "Then let's go for a walk in the back mountain."

"now?"

Bai Xuer asked.

"Yes! Now is the time..."

Lin Xiao took to the air and flew to the back mountain first.

Seeing this, Bai Xuer and Ye Guoer followed.

Before long, the three arrived at the back mountain.

Lin Xiao rarely visits the back mountain of Yaoguang Holy Land.

The environment here is tranquil and the scenery is beautiful, making it an ideal place for quiet retreat and retirement.

The Earth Sword Master, the Northern Ice Spear Master, the Primordial Daoist, and others were gathered together.

They were all lying on deck chairs, basking in the sun, looking quite content.

They're living the life they could be living in the best way possible.

They all possessed the cultivation level of the Sky-Gazing Realm and had keen senses, so they immediately noticed Lin Xiao and his companions.

"Third Fairy, what brings you here again?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "I've calculated with my fingers, and today is not a good day to go out..."

They politely declined right from the start.

"Old man, don't calculate yet. Let me tell your fortune. If you don't go out today, you might suffer a bloody disaster."

Lin Xiao chuckled.

"So it's the Holy Son! I heard that the Holy Son has entered the Martial Emperor realm. Keep up the good work, we believe in you, you can definitely break the rules and create miracles."

The old Taoist priest said with a smile, "As for the bloodshed and such, there's no need for the Holy Son to worry about it."

"So you're not planning to come out of seclusion?"

Now that the other party knew his purpose, Lin Xiao decided to get straight to the point.

"The Holy Son is indeed a wise man."

The old Taoist priest Hunyuan said with an ambiguous expression.

"Holy Son, you should also be considerate of us. We're all so old, yet we still go out shouting and fighting. What kind of behavior is this?"

"That's what the Northern Ice Spear Master said."

"The world belongs to you young people; we old folks won't get involved."

"The Holy Son destroyed the Southern Heaven Alliance; he's truly formidable."

"The overall situation is already decided, so there is even less need for us to take action."

The renowned experts and powerful figures, including the Earth Sword Master, also spoke up.

At their age, wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy their retirement, spending time with their grandchildren?

What does it mean to shout for war and killing?

Even if they do nothing, they will still receive the benefits they are entitled to.

They can still obtain valuable cultivation resources.

Their status and power will not be diminished.

Who would dare to be presumptuous in front of a powerful expert at the Sky-Gazing Realm?

Seniority alone can be overwhelming for many people.

"It seems you're all determined!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

“Holy Son, we call this 'turning a deaf ear to worldly affairs and focusing wholeheartedly on arduous cultivation,'” said the old Taoist Hunyuan.

"In that case, you should go to West Mountain to cultivate from now on!" Lin Xiao said.

"West Mountain..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Hunyuan Daoist, Earth Sword Master, Northern Ice Spear Master, and others all changed.

The Western Hills are the most desolate place; they would never go there.

"Holy Son, you have no right to decide where we cultivate."

"I'm not leaving today."

"I'd like to see who can make this old man move."

Lin Xiao didn't care about the group of renowned experts who were already angry.

He took out the blank imperial edict from Empress Liuli and said calmly, "I don't have that authority, but my master seems to have it, doesn't he?"

"If I asked her to issue a decree, do you think she would refuse?"

At this, the expressions of Hunyuan Laodao and the others completely changed.

They all knew perfectly well when Empress Liuli bestowed the wordless imperial edict upon Lin Xiao.

It's just asking them to move to a different place; to keep her word, Empress Liuli will most likely not refuse.

“Holy Son! According to the rules of the Holy Land, we old fellows are only required to take action when the Holy Land faces a life-or-death crisis.”

"The Earth Sword Master said."

"Really? I've never heard of this rule. Who said it? Let him come out and explain."

Lin Xiao pretended not to know.

"..."

The Earth Sword Master's lips twitched.

The ancestors of Yaoguang Holy Land who established this rule have long since passed away.

Why should we ask the other party to step forward?

Lin Xiao is clearly cheating.

Chapter 349 Slander from the Holy Son

"Oh dear! I suddenly remembered that there's meat stewing in the pot at home. I have to hurry back, or the meat will burn..."

"Ouch! My stomach hurts so much, I can't take it anymore, where's the outhouse?"

"Ugh! I'm dizzy."

"..."

A group of renowned experts and powerful figures scattered and fled.

The reasons they came up with were all incredibly bizarre.

So you, Lin Xiao, are the only one who knows how to cheat?

Do they really think we old folks are pushovers?

Do you know what it means to be an old ginger grower?

As the group of renowned figures and experts left, they secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

"A bunch of shameless old bastards!"

Even Ye Guo'er, who is always full of clever ideas, could only stomp her feet in anger.

Bai Xuer was even more helpless.
