Also rejected

"If you encounter any danger, this Puppet doll can be used to save your life."

Xiao Feng looked at the Puppet doll in his hand. After hesitating for two seconds, he nodded and agreed to the task.

Since Su Mo had given him such a life-saving Puppet, and Su Mo had also said that he needed the qingzhu relic, which was why he hoped Xiao Feng would help him retrieve it.

Then this matter should be within Xiao Feng's capabilities, just a bit dangerous, and it shouldn't be too difficult to handle.

After all, Xiao Feng believed that if he were to steal it, he might still have a chance.

But Xiao Feng wouldn't make any guarantees, so he spoke up first: "Cult Master, you also know that this item is a supreme treasure of Buddhism. If I fail to retrieve it, you cannot blame me."

Seeing Xiao Feng's expression, Su Mo knew what he was thinking. He rolled his eyes and sent him away.

"Fine, fine, fine. Even if you don't get it, I won't blame you. But you must at least try your best. For the sake of these Magic Treasures, consider my position as Cult Master."

Xiao Feng nodded and agreed.

Xiao Feng left Su Mo's place and returned to his room. He still needed to pack some things and prepare before setting off.

However, not long after he walked out, Taowu, which had been hanging on his waist as a small accessory, suddenly spoke up.

"Are you stupid? Is your Cult Master trying to set you up?"

Because Xiao Feng had been dealing with Sun Yuanjie during this period, he had not left the Ming Cult.

But Xiao Feng wouldn't let Taowu, a Vicious Beast, leave the Ming Cult alone.

And Taowu was unwilling to return to the System space.

So, he simply shrank his true form into the size of a doll and used it as a decoration hanging on Xiao Feng's waist.

Taowu seemed quite interested in this matter.

Xiao Feng had brought Taowu along when he came out just now.

When Su Mo was talking to him about those things, Xiao Feng had forgotten to let Taowu out.

After hearing what Taowu said, Xiao Feng unhooked Taowu from his waist, placed it in his hand, and raised it to his eye level.

"Why do you say that?" Listening to Taowu's tone, it seemed to have some understanding of the qingzhu relic.

"Don't overthink it. It's just that I've encountered those monks before. You need to know what a relic is—it is formed after a legendary high monk passes away!"

"A single relic is extremely important to those monks, let alone what he said himself—that this is a supreme treasure of Buddhism. If I remember correctly, this qingzhu relic should be a treasure formed after a very important Buddha in Buddhism passed away."

"The place where this supreme treasure is kept is no exaggeration to call the most dangerous place in the Buddhist world. Do you expect to steal the item with your petty thievery? Those old bald donkeys are not easy to deal with!"

Upon hearing this from Taowu, Xiao Feng nodded: "I had already guessed it. If this item were so easy to get, the Cult Master wouldn't have taken out so many Magic Treasures, hoping I would agree to this matter."

"Unless this item is something that would be difficult even for me to obtain."

Taowu didn't understand: "Since you know that, why are you still accepting it? You know he is setting you up?"

Xiao Feng explained: "He isn't setting me up; it's just that the Ming Cult currently has no one suitable to find this item."

"Perhaps he also saw that I have been wanting to achieve a Breakthrough in my Realm recently but haven't encountered a miracle, so he wants to use this opportunity to let me go out and gain experience."

"Even without this matter, I wouldn't have stayed in the Ming Cult for too long. It's just convenient. I already told him that if I fail to retrieve it, he cannot blame me."

Taowu didn't say anything else but noticed another matter: "You said you are going out? I want to go with you!"

Xiao Feng sneered: "What are you thinking? Do you think I would leave you in the Ming Cult? Of course you have to come with me. By the way, as one of the four ancient Vicious Beasts, if you go to the territory of Buddhist cultivators, will they notice?"

Taowu remained silent.

Xiao Feng didn't think too much about it.

If that situation really happened, he would just put Taowu into the System space.

Xiao Feng thought that since it was a rare opportunity to go out, he wanted to bring Zhao Yuwei and Xueqing along.

Xiao Feng went to find Zhao Yuwei first.

Zhao Yuwei had been in seclusion for some time.

Xiao Feng didn't know if Zhao Yuwei had successfully come out of seclusion.

He originally thought he would have to wait a while, but he didn't expect his timing to be just right.

Zhao Yuwei hadn't gone into seclusion yet. If he had arrived half an hour later, he probably would have missed her.

Xiao Feng told Zhao Yuwei about his situation and looked at her with anticipation: "Senior Sister, do you want to go with me? We haven't dealt with the Buddhist cultivators here yet."

Zhao Yuwei looked hesitant, then said: "I won't go. You should ask Junior Sister to accompany you. I am about to achieve a Breakthrough in my Realm in these two days and don't want to cause too many complications. Junior Sister has rarely come out of seclusion; why don't you spend more time with her?"

Xiao Feng was stunned after hearing Zhao Yuwei's words. Was Zhao Yuwei this generous?

But he had intended for both of them to follow him, so that Xueqing wouldn't feel that he only cared about Zhao Yuwei and not her.

But looking at the troubled expression on Zhao Yuwei's face, Xiao Feng ultimately didn't voice his plan. He could only nod somewhat dejectedly and agree, telling Zhao Yuwei to focus on her seclusion.

He would bring a gift for Zhao Yuwei once he returned successfully.

Xiao Feng went to find Xueqing.

As it turned out, Xueqing also rejected him.

"No, why? Do you not like those monks? Didn't you feel that I spent too little time with you before? This trip would just be the two of us."

Xiao Feng looked at Xueqing in front of him, puzzled.

In the past, both women would fight to go with him. Now, both women refused to go out for training with him at the same time. When did he become so unpopular?

He clearly remembered that before he went to find Su Mo, Xueqing was still in his arms, whispering sweet nothings to him.

How much time had passed? Did women's hearts change this quickly?

"Didn't you go to find Senior Sister Zhao?" Xueqing asked suspiciously.

She wasn't jealous; she knew that between the two of them, Xiao Feng would definitely go to find Zhao Yuwei first.

It was just that Xiao Feng had said earlier that this trip would only involve the two of them.

Could it be that Zhao Yuwei wasn't going with them?

How could Zhao Yuwei feel at ease letting the two of them be alone?

"Senior Sister is going into seclusion. I hadn't had a chance to tell her that the three of us would go together before she rejected me. So I didn't tell her about this matter; I just wanted to come over and ask if you wanted to go with me."

Xiao Feng was afraid that Xueqing would misunderstand that he only came to find her because Zhao Yuwei had rejected him, so he hurriedly told Xueqing that he had planned for all three of them to go from the beginning.

"You don't need to explain to me. I didn't misunderstand. But I also need to go into seclusion, so I can't accompany you."
