250: You have good taste; you even know our sect is fertile.

Xiao Ruobai looked at Wang Xiaopang, who seemed on the verge of tears, and naturally understood the turmoil in his heart. He couldn't help but laugh, deliberately teasing him:

"That's right, it's the Azure Profound Sect that you were so enthusiastically planning to be a 'mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' outside the Old Site of the Demon Heaven Sect. How about it, isn't it quite 'fat'?"

"Big Brother! My dear Big Brother! Please don't scare me! I know I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!"

Wang Xiaopang almost knelt on the spot, his chubby face pale, his hands clasped together as he repeatedly bowed, his voice tinged with a sob.

"I was blind and my heart was clouded! How could I have known this was your Sect! If I had known, you couldn't give me a thousand guts and I still wouldn't dare!"

His cowardly demeanor made Fang Hanyu's lips twitch almost imperceptibly.

And Ling Xi, who had always been cool and aloof, couldn't help but cast a strange glance at Wang Xiaopang. Her gaze was extremely complex, as if she was looking at an eccentric who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, yet was somehow a bit "brave and fearless."

This Zizhu Peak, the place where Revered Master resides, let alone a small Cave Heaven like you, even if a Great Emperor were to arrive, whether he could walk out standing up would be debatable.

You actually once harbored the thought of robbing the Disciples here?

Wang Xiaopang felt extremely uncomfortable under Ling Xi's gaze, like thorns on his back, and buried his head even lower, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He looked pitifully at Ling Xi, his voice tinged with pleading, "I truly didn't know this was your and Big Brother's Sect then. If I had known, you couldn't give me a hundred guts and I still wouldn't dare!"

Fang Hanyu stood by, arms crossed, a playful smile on his lips, and slowly said, "You do have good judgment, knowing our Sect is 'fat.'"

These words startled Wang Xiaopang even more, and another layer of cold sweat broke out. He was now regretting it so much that his intestines turned green. How could he have been so blind back then, specifically targeting the Azure Profound Sect?

This was not a fat sheep; it was clearly an ancient Vicious Beast that could swallow him whole!

Seeing him so frightened, Xiao Ruobai stopped teasing him, reined in his smile, and patted his shoulder: "Alright, I was just joking with you. Revered Master and everyone in the Sect are not petty people. Since we let you come back with us, we naturally won't pursue the past."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaopang's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled a little. But looking at the three, his eyes were still full of shame and lingering fear, and he mumbled softly, "Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Sister are truly merciful..."

Xiao Ruobai led the three towards the interior of the Sect.

Wang Xiaopang followed closely, step by step, observing the simple yet subtly profound pavilions and towers along the way, as well as the seemingly ordinary but actually deeply concentrated Disciples. His heart grew even more reverent—

This Azure Profound Sect truly had hidden Dragons and crouching Tigers, far more terrifying than it appeared on the surface.

He secretly rejoiced, fortunate that he hadn't actually made a move back then, otherwise he would probably be a mound of yellow earth by now.

Before long, the group arrived in front of the Purple Bamboo forest.

Wang Xiaopang suddenly sniffed at the Spiritual Qi here, and his eyes instantly widened!

The Spiritual Qi, which had only felt "abundant" outside, became hundreds of times denser the moment he entered the Purple Bamboo forest!

Taking a deep breath, he felt his cultivation subtly increasing! Moreover, this Spiritual Qi was incredibly pure, carrying an indescribable Dao Rhyme.

The Purple Bamboo stood tall and verdant, their leaves rustling, as if containing the profound sounds of the Great Dao. Mist swirled through the forest, seemingly ordinary, yet giving a sense of unfathomable depth.

"This... this is..."

Wang Xiaopang stared at the Purple Bamboo forest in shock, only then realizing that this place was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface!

There was a universe within! Absolutely a grand design!

"Let's go, Revered Master should be in the courtyard." Xiao Ruobai said, leading the way deeper into the bamboo forest. Fang Hanyu and Ling Xi followed closely.

Wang Xiaopang quickly composed himself, suppressing his shock, and carefully followed at the very end, his chubby face once again filled with awe and anticipation.

This is more like it! The abode of a big shot, as expected, cannot be measured by common sense!

Passing through the quiet bamboo forest path, a simple yet elegant courtyard appeared before them.

The courtyard gate was open, faintly revealing a stone table and stone stools inside, and... a white-robed figure sitting at the table, leisurely sipping clear tea.

That figure's aura was peaceful, as if integrated with the surrounding environment, showing no trace of cultivation. He was like an ordinary young man from next door, with a hint of lazy leisure in his brows and eyes, and even a faint smile on his lips.

Wang Xiaopang was stunned, and subconsciously looked left and right—he didn't see anyone else?

He immediately started wondering: Who is this? He looks so young, could he be the Senior Brother of the Big Brothers?

That's right! Senior Brother Xiao and the others are already Heaven-Defyingly talented, and the Sect behind them is even more filled with hidden Dragons and crouching Tigers. It's not strange to have several equally young and powerful Senior Brothers!

He secretly observed the white-robed young man, and the more he looked, the more he felt he was not simple—although he couldn't discern the depth of his cultivation, that naturally formed temperament was definitely not something an ordinary Cultivator could possess.

"The Big Brothers are already so strong, their Senior Brothers must not be far behind. Perhaps he is also a hidden Prodigy!"

Wang Xiaopang thought to himself, becoming even more cautious, even lightening his breathing a bit, afraid of being disrespectful in front of this "Senior Brother."

But just then, Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi, who were walking in front, all stopped in unison and bowed to the white-robed figure, their voices respectful to the extreme, and said in unison:

"Revered Master, Disciple has returned."

"Ma... Revered Master?!"

Wang Xiaopang was struck as if by a bolt of Nine Heavens lightning on his head. His entire body "swished" and froze in place, his mind instantly blank, his mouth wide enough to fit a fist, his eyes wider than copper bells, staring intently at the excessively young white-robed youth.

This... this person is... the peerless big shot he had imagined countless times in his mind, the one who effortlessly flattened the Glazed Holy Land, made terrifying existences like Little Black willingly serve him, and taught monstrous Disciples like Xiao Ruobai and the other two?!

The Revered Master he had envisioned should be an ancient Supreme, with an immortal demeanor and white hair and beard, surrounded by Dao principles, stars born and extinguished in his eyes, Chaos Qi swirling around him when he sat or lay down, his every word a profound Dao Rhyme, constantly triggering celestial phenomena!

But this person in front of him... looked only a few years older than Senior Brother Xiao and the others, dressed in simple white robes, leisurely sipping tea. Let alone any Dao principles or celestial phenomena, he didn't even have the slightest oppressive aura of a strong person, completely a noble Young Master living a life of leisure!

Gu Changge heard this, his fingertips caressing the cool rim of the cup, and slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Ruobai and the other two, his voice calm and unruffled: "You're back."

Then, his gaze fell on Wang Xiaopang, who was frozen at the courtyard gate.

That gaze seemed gentle, yet it carried a penetrating power that seemed to see through everything. The moment it touched him, Wang Xiaopang's entire body stiffened, feeling as if he had been seen through from the inside out.

His past thoughts, his current shock, and even the faint glimmer of hope and trepidation hidden in his heart, all had nowhere to hide, like being exposed naked under the scorching sun.

He subconsciously held his breath, all his fat tensed up, not even daring to breathe heavily.
