91: Chapter 91 Do these two children have some serious illness?

Xiao Xie had just raised a watermelon, ready to smash it, when a middle-aged Cultivator suddenly drifted down from the sky, appearing silently before them. Xiao Xie's hand shook in fright, and the watermelon smashed directly onto the ground, splitting open.

Seeing that the newcomer was a stranger and wasn't wearing melon farmer clothes, Xiao Xie immediately became alert. He pulled his sister in front of him—hiding behind her himself—and conveniently picked up two sticks from the ground, handing one to her.

"Sister, stand in front, Brother will protect you!" Xiao Xie gripped the stick, his voice sounding fierce yet childish.

"Thank you, Brother!" Xiao Xiao, wearing a small bellyband, innocently took the stick and stood obediently, thinking her brother really was going to protect her.

The middle-aged Cultivator's lips twitched: Letting his sister block the front while he hid behind, this was called protection?

He took out a Spiritual Root Tester, and his gaze fell on the two children. The more he tested, the more shocked he became—this little boy had a Mutated Spiritual Root, and his talent was so strong it was rarely seen in a lifetime. As long as he was brought back to the Holy Land and nurtured slightly, a Breakthrough to Earth Immortal was just around the corner.

This little girl wasn't bad either; with a Top-grade Spiritual Root, being a Saintess was more than enough.

"Who are you? A melon thief?" Xiao Xie raised his stick, glaring warily at the newcomer.

What the hell, a melon thief?

The middle-aged Cultivator's lips twitched, and he almost lost his composure.

He, the dignified Tianji Holy Land Elder Master Wujizi, was actually called a melon thief by two small children? If his Sect Head Senior Brother found out, wouldn't he laugh his head off?

"I am not a melon thief." Master Wujizi cleared his throat, trying his best to put on an air of immortal elegance. "This old man is Tianji Holy Land's Elder Master Wujizi. Passing through this place, I saw that you two have extraordinary talent—"

"If you're stealing melons, just say so. You talk too much." Xiao Xie curled his lip and pulled his sister back a step, his little mouth rattling off, "My dad is a cold-blooded killer, the Nightly Slayer of a Thousand Chickens, Invincible in the Wild, known as the Cannon King of Green Mountain—Xiao Ye!"

"If you dare steal our melons, you're dead meat!"

Xiao Xiao, wearing her small bellyband, also added, "Exactly, exactly! My daddy is super powerful! Daddy can beat more than a dozen of my aunties until they wail all by himself!"

The naive words left Master Wujizi completely stunned; his eyelids twitched violently.

Are these two kids mentally ill?

You're proud that your dad is a 'Cannon King'?

Xiao Ye, who had just arrived: "..."

Holy crap! Who taught them this? Step forward!

"You two, this meal of 'bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat,' you're eating it whether you want to or not." Xiao Ye stepped forward and grabbed his son's collar—the collar of destiny—lifting him up directly like a little chick.

Xiao Xie's two little legs kicked wildly in the air, but he didn't forget to turn back and shout to his sister, "Sister, run! Dad's going to hit someone!"

Xiao Xiao ran a few steps away holding a piece of broken watermelon, tilting her head to watch her brother hanging in mid-air, and giggled: "Brother is so funny."

Xiao Xie: "...Heartless."

Xiao Ye brought his son in front of him, expressionless: "Come, pick one—bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat, or meat stir-fried with bamboo shoots?"

Xiao Xie blinked and asked softly, "Is there a difference?"

"No."

"...Then can I not choose?"

"You can," Xiao Ye nodded. "There's one more option—mixed doubles with both parents. Your mother is already on her way."

Xiao Xie's face turned pale instantly. He struggled and shouted, "Dad! I was wrong! I'll never say it again! Can you let me go just this once?"

Nearby, Xiao Xiao had already squatted down to munch on the watermelon. Her face was covered in juice, her cheeks puffed out, and she said indistinctly, "Even if you're getting a beating, you have to eat your fill first."

Xiao Xie rolled his eyes: "Sister, your brother is about to be beaten to death, and you can still eat?"

Xiao Xiao didn't even look up: "Brother has thick skin, it won't hurt."

Xiao Xie: "..."

Master Wujizi's lips twitched. He forcibly pulled the topic back to the main point, putting on an air of immortal elegance: "Little friend, this old man is Tianji Holy Land's Elder Master Wujizi. Your pair of children have extraordinary talent. I intend to take them as Personal Disciples. What do you think?"

"Take Disciples?" Xiao Ye didn't rush to answer. He first used his Divine Sense to probe the other's cultivation—it was empty, bottomless. His heart skipped a beat: This old man was at least one major Realm higher than him. Nascent Soul? Soul Transformation?

Seeing him silent, Master Wujizi added, "Your son not only has a Mutated Spiritual Root but also hides another destiny talent. If he joins my Sect, I guarantee his path to immortality will be smooth."

That awesome? Did he see that this rebellious son has the Eye of the Great Dao? Xiao Ye's eyes darted around. It just so happened that Xiao Xie was almost at the age to start Cultivating, so it was time to send him to a Sect—it definitely wasn't because he was mischievous and Xiao Ye was eager to get rid of him.

He put on a smile: "Son, come and greet your master!"

Xiao Xie was still being held in the air by his dad, legs kicking, with a face full of despair: "Dad, weren't you just about to hit me?"

"Hitting you is a family matter; taking a master is official business." Xiao Ye set him down and patted his head. "Greet your master first, then I'll hit you."

Xiao Xie: "..." This dad is truly unreliable.

Xiao Xiao finished her last bite of watermelon, wiped her mouth, and pulled her brother's hem: "Brother, are we going to a new school?"

Xiao Xie looked at Master Wujizi expressionlessly: "Do you provide room and board?"

"Yes."

"Are there Medicinal Pills?"

"Yes."

"Are there Spirit Beasts to ride?"

"...Also yes."

"Is it fun?"

"It is..."

Xiao Xie nodded and pulled his sister along: "Let's go, there's a new place to play."

Master Wujizi: "..."

Having finalized the matter of taking Disciples, both Master Wujizi and Xiao Ye were grinning from ear to ear—one had recruited two great talents, and the other could finally send the little Devil King away. Xiao Ye immediately suggested, "Come, let's go back to the manor to celebrate!"

Three days later, Master Wujizi took Xiao Xie and Xiao Xiao and flew away through the sky. As they left, Xiao Xie leaned over the edge of the cloud and shouted down, "Dad, I'll miss you!"

Xiao Ye waved back: "Don't miss me, just Cultivate well!" He added silently in his heart: It's best if you don't come back for eight or ten years.

During these three days, Xiao Ye hadn't been idle. He asked around for information on Tianji Holy Land. He was shocked by what he found—Tianji Holy Land was the strongest power in the East Sea Region.

One of the nine Great Holy Lands of the entire Desolate Ancient Five Regions.

(The Five Regions are: East Sea Region, Southern Border Region, Western Shu Region, Northern Liang Region, and Central Plains Region)

As for the Great Qian Empire, it was just a small pebble in the scraps of the East Sea Region.

As for Master Wujizi, he was the Junior Brother of the current Holy Lord of Tianji Holy Land.

In other words, his son Xiao Xie was now a Disciple of the strongest power in the East Sea Region and the Holy Lord's own nephew-Disciple.

After hearing this, Xiao Ye was silent for a long while. Then he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and his smile slowly spread from ear to ear: "In other words, from now on, I can walk sideways in the East Sea Region and no one will dare stop me?"

Li Fu, standing nearby, whispered a reminder: "Master, it's your son who is the Holy Lord's nephew-Disciple, not you."

"It's the same thing." Xiao Ye waved his hand dismissively. "If my son walks sideways, his father naturally walks sideways too. This is called 'the father's status rising because of his son'."

Li Fu opened his mouth but didn't dare say anything more. He silently added in his heart: Master, that's called 'the mother's status rising because of her son'."}],
