Chapter 399: Who Is It (II)
Xiao Guiluan rode the wind for two full days.
Given the current rise of devil cultivators, the road was unsafe. She took a detour through Mushroom Forest Plain, passing respectfully through a dozen or so immortal mountains of the Yuan Family before making a large loop to reach Xianyou Peak.
Everywhere on Xianyou Peak was draped in white cloth, and Xiao Guiluan could not help but feel deeply sorrowful as she visited various familiar old friends. Many of her childhood playmates had now become minor peak masters, and many were no longer close to her.
The Xiao Family was simply too vast, with many interests and factions. Some old friends had joined different branches and dared not speak much with her for fear of getting involved in conflicts.
Currently, Xiao Guitu was the cultivator managing the Xiao Family, elevating Xiao Guiluan's status as well. In the past, she would have had to wait a long while for her arrival to be reported, but now she was quickly escorted up the main peak with just a brief announcement.
Xiao Guitu, clad in golden armor and playing with a pair of jade rings, sat at the head of the main hall on the main peak. Xiao Guiluan walked on jade tiles, bowed deeply upon entering, and seized the opportunity to observe her brother.
Xiao Guitu looked much somber now, and was at the sixth heavenly layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm. His once-smiling face had become impassive, but upon seeing his long-unseen sister, a faint smile appeared. He spoke warmly, "It is rare to see you return."
These words left Xiao Guiluan speechless. Xiao Guitu took two steps down and sat by the side of the stone steps. Only then did Xiao Guiluan notice the small holes covering his golden armor, making it unusable.
Xiao Guitu quietly removed his armor, saying softly, "What a coincidence… Daoist Master Buzi just left, and you arrived."
