217: Professional sucker

The Beast Taming Sect, which possesses several Soul Transformation Cultivators and an equal number of Soul Transformation Yao Beasts presiding over it, is one of the hegemons of this world, sitting half a level higher than the Azure Profound Sect.

Liu Xuan previously thought that the Yao Beasts in the Endless Great Mountains were going to attack the Human Race territories, but now it seems very likely that they are the ones on the receiving end of the beating.

No wonder the Peach Blossom Sect's actions were so strange; if they were guarding against the Beast Taming Sect and the Azure Profound Sect, everything would make sense.

The Heavenly Sword Sect sending Peng Jiayu over, only for her to do nothing, also makes sense now.

The initiative has always been with the Beast Taming Sect; Peng Jiayu's Golden Core Revered Master or the high-level members of the Heavenly Sword Sect were simply receiving news and making preparations in advance.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the will of some big shot from the Beast Taming Sect. If the big shot says not to act, everyone goes home; if the big shot nods, they can seize the initiative.

Jingxin Courtyard.

Under the phoenix tree.

A jade round table was filled with delicacies and fine food, and An Yunxi and Dashan were devouring them, completely disregarding their image.

"Junior Brother Liu, your food is so delicious! It's better than anything I've ever eaten before!"

An Yunxi said with her cheeks puffed out, still chewing food in her mouth, speaking unclearly.

Her eyes were clear and pure, and combined with this cute appearance, it was hard for Liu Xuan to associate her with a Foundation Establishment Ancestor who had lived for one or two hundred years.

"If you like it, Senior Sister, I will have someone make it for you every day from now on!" Liu Xuan smiled and said.

These dishes were not high-grade ingredients, just some ordinary Yao Beast meat and low-grade ingredients.

It was just that Liu Xuan loved gourmet food, so he had gathered many chefs, and the taste they produced was naturally better.

Compared to food, many Cultivators preferred to eat Medicinal Pills; everyone cared more about the effects of food rather than its taste.

Some Cultivators even consumed Bigu Pills all year round, not eating a meal for years.

In the entire Cultivation World, it was rare for someone like Liu Xuan to value the taste of food more, even sacrificing some of the food's inherent spiritual efficacy for it.

Liu Xuan held a token in his hand and toyed with it. On the front of the token was Liu Xuan's name, and on the back was a bear's head with its mouth wide open.

"Senior Sister, didn't you say that becoming a Beast Taming Sect Disciple was very strict? Does this token of yours count?"

After Liu Xuan agreed to join the Beast Taming Sect, An Yunxi gave him this identity token, saying it was accepting a Disciple on behalf of her Revered Master, and that from now on, he would be a Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch.

According to An Yunxi, the Southern Branch's strength was no less than the Heavenly Sword Sect's, and the selection of Disciples was extremely strict, with a very cumbersome process.

Yet she had simply given Liu Xuan a token, which made him feel a bit perfunctory, as if he had been deceived.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother! It's absolutely valid. If you don't believe me, go ask Immortal Master Yunhe!"

The Immortal Master Yunhe that An Yunxi spoke of was also from the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch, with Peak Golden Core cultivation, and was currently a guest at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Immortal Master Yunhe was the person in charge sent by the Southern Branch Revered Master to the Heavenly Sword Sect to scout the situation, while An Yunxi's task was similar to Peng Jiayu's, just to come to the Red Pine Sect to collect various intelligence.

But this girl, not knowing if she was brave or stupid, ran straight to the Peach Blossom Sect to scout.

Running to the Peach Blossom Sect was one thing, but the point was that she also exposed her identity and was almost killed by a Golden Core Immortal Master from the Peach Blossom Sect.

However, this was all according to An Yunxi herself; whether it was true or not remained to be verified.

Liu Xuan nodded, "Of course I trust you, Senior Sister, but let's agree on this beforehand: I am only a Named Disciple. If the war doesn't break out, I won't go back to the Southern Branch with you."

"Got it! If the war doesn't break out, Junior Brother, you will be a hidden agent of our Southern Branch planted here, monitoring the abnormal movements of the Yao Race for us!"

An Yunxi lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard, but in fact, this idea was also proposed by Liu Xuan, and she thought it was quite good and agreed immediately.

Three days later.

Dashan was leaning against the phoenix tree, sleeping soundly, while several three or four-year-old children watched curiously from afar but dared not approach.

Nearby, An Yunxi was carefully studying a piece of intelligence regarding the power distribution of the Peach Blossom Sect.

Beside her, Bai Shan was holding several thick booklets, all of which were various intelligence materials compiled by the Lingshu Pavilion.

"Senior An, these are just basic materials. If you want to know any other information, you can tell me, and I will send people to investigate!"

Bai Shan knew that this young lady An Yunxi was a Foundation Establishment Ancestor and dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

"Good! Very good!"

"Not for now, you may leave first!"

An Yunxi took the booklets from Bai Shan's hands and flipped through them, comparing them one by one with the various situations she had learned about during this period.

Everything matched, and it was much more detailed than what she had learned, even containing a lot of information about the Peach Blossom Sect.

"Well done, Junior Brother! When the mission is completed, I will claim credit for you from the Sect!"

An Yunxi reached out to pat Liu Xuan's shoulder but suddenly realized she wasn't tall enough, so she had to pat Liu Xuan's arm instead.

"Not at all, not at all, this is all what a Junior Brother should do!"

These intelligence reports were actually just basic materials and not secrets; they could easily be obtained by nearby Golden Core Sects as well.

"Senior Sister Yunxi, with your status, why not go to the Red Pine Sect if you want intelligence? The Sect knows much more information than I do."

Immortal Master Yunhe was a guest at the Heavenly Sword Sect, which indicated that the higher-ups and the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch were in a cooperative relationship; wouldn't it have been fine for An Yunxi to just go be a guest at the Red Pine Sect?

Given the Sect's capabilities, they might not easily give her secret intelligence, but the Sect certainly wouldn't hide or hold back basic intelligence.

"Hmph!"

Mentioning this, An Yunxi's small face immediately became unhappy.

"Of course I went! When I first arrived, I went to see True Person Xiao, but he said he was going into seclusion and told me to look for Su Wan."

"Su Wan is a bad woman; she is polite on the surface but actually full of perfunctory behavior. I couldn't stand it, so I left."

Her small face showed a smile again as she looked at Liu Xuan, "Junior Brother Liu is different; you are a good person!"

"Uh..."

Liu Xuan was very confused! A good person? A bad person? For a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, does a person still have a distinction between good and bad?

Sometimes Liu Xuan felt that An Yunxi was acting very fake, and sometimes he felt that she wasn't acting.

If the power of control wasn't in his hands, he wouldn't dare believe a single word.

News from the Sect had already been sent back; there was indeed news of the Beast Taming Sect coming to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Gong Wang had also sent back detailed information about the battle between An Yunxi and the Peach Blossom Sect's Golden Core Immortal Master.

Based on the current situation Liu Xuan understood, everything matched what An Yunxi had said, proving that most of what she said was true.

'I'm afraid the identity of this Senior Sister Yunxi of mine is not simple!'

The token she took out so casually, as well as her strange behavior and speaking style, were all different from normal Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Being able to escape from the hands of a Golden Core Immortal Master is something an ordinary person cannot do; she is definitely not just a simple Disciple of the Southern Branch!

If nothing unexpected happens, An Yunxi will be a super backer to cling to. As long as he clings to her tightly, no matter how the situation changes later, Liu Xuan will be able to cope.

Leg-hugging, right! This is something Liu Xuan is good at. Besides the System, isn't it by hugging legs all the way that he has reached where he is today? It belongs to his professional field!
