Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 533 You two are accomplices

On the fifteenth of February, the moon is full and as clear as a mirror.

At midnight, Xie Cui City was exceptionally quiet. Xue Tong, carrying a three-tiered gift box, came out of the Black Tower and was immediately met by an old man in white robes under the clear moonlight.

The girl took a step back with practiced ease and whispered to the person behind her:

"I don't think tonight is a good time to go out."

Following behind her, Xue Lan peeked out from behind the girl, meeting her master's piercing eyes, and said in a defiant tone:

What's meant to happen can't be avoided.

After the woman finished speaking, an exceptionally sweet smile immediately appeared on her face:

"Master, what a coincidence."

Behind Ling Yuanzi, the broken sword Zhuiyun emitted a short, sharp sword cry. The old man spoke with a forced smile:

"Unfortunately, I was waiting for you here."

The smile on Xue Lan's face gradually disappeared, and the woman looked at Ling Yuanzi and spoke:

“Master, you’ve never been so worried about me before.”

"You let your junior disciple, who is in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, roam freely in the lower realm, but you don't trust the Wolf Clan Chief, who is renowned throughout the upper realm."

“Is that right?”

Xue Lan opened her big, bright eyes.

"Is this right, Master?"

That's absolutely right! Ling Yuanzi thought to himself.

The old man looked at Xue Lan and said in a hoarse voice, "No matter how good I was at making connections before, I never knew you would turn the world upside down like this."

Xue Lan understood the unspoken meaning in Ling Yuanzi's words.

Perhaps her ability to cause trouble exceeded the old man's tolerance, making him uneasy and requiring him to keep a close eye on her at all times.

Thinking about it this way, Lord Wolf felt much more at ease and even a little happy.

Xue Lan looked at Xue Tong to the side and said, "I think my master has had a hard time too. Why don't we take him with us?"

Xue Tong squinted at Xue Lan and noticed five glaringly obvious words written on the man's face:

"My master loves me!"

The girl, who had been repeatedly illuminated by the Wolf King's absolute confidence, felt utterly hopeless.

"Then bring it along, whatever makes you happy."

Then she saw four big words appear on Xue Lan's face: "You love me too!"

Xue Tong: "I often feel out of place with my host because she is too confident."

What was originally a clandestine operation between two people turned into a three-person operation, with Ling Yuanzi and Xue Lan walking side by side in front.

"Speaking of which, Master, why did you come to ambush me in the middle of the night? Did you know what I was going to do?" Xue Lan looked at Ling Yuanzi with some curiosity, wondering when her master knew her so well.

Was he secretly observing her and feeling too indebted to his eldest disciple?

As it turns out, Lord Wolf was overthinking things.

Ling Yuanzi did feel indebted to her, but the old man's observation skills were lacking.

The old man in white turned his head slightly to look at Xue Lan and responded decisively:

"I do not know!"

Xue Lan's expression froze, and she asked in utter confusion, "Then what is your purpose in stopping me?"

Ling Yuanzi asked matter-of-factly, "Do I need to know your purpose?"

"All I need to know is that your sneaking out at night isn't a good thing!"

After saying this, the old man glanced at Xue Tong behind him:

"Especially with her!"

Xue Tong, who was hunched over carrying a gift box behind the two, was suddenly called out and felt offended.

The girl stepped forward, forcefully inserting herself between the master and disciple, and spoke with dissatisfaction:

"You can argue, you can even fight, but you can't involve unrelated people, understand?"

Ling Yuanzi clearly didn't understand; the old man spoke with exceptional clarity when he spoke to Xue Tong:

"Don't you know what she did?"

Xue Tong was a little confused by the question, and subconsciously nodded: "I know some of it."

Ling Yuanzi shrugged: "Isn't that settled?"

"You know, but I didn't! You two are accomplices!"

“I am an elder, and I have the right to follow you two ignorant juniors.”

Xue Tong was speechless. She thought and thought, but she couldn't find any fault with Ling Yuanzi's words. In the end, she could only look to Xue Lan for help.

Xue Lan shook her head and secretly sent her a telepathic message: "We can't handle this. Have your parents come."

Xue Tong: "Where would I get my parents? My mom will come over here and judge you first!"

Xue Lan couldn't help but laugh: "Then forget it, just call out the main system, she can do it too."

Xue Tong imagined the main system aunt battling Ling Yuanzi in her mind, but found the scene too beautiful to bear thinking about.

The girl waved her hand with a wry smile: "Forget it, I can handle it on my own."

Determined to bear the pain alone, Xiaotong carried the gift box past the two people beside her and headed towards the City God Temple.

"Did you really come up with those outrageous plans with her?" Ling Yuanzi asked suspiciously, watching Xue Tong's departing figure, his tone full of distrust.

Xue Lan felt a little guilty, but still forced herself to speak:

"Yes, it was all decided by the two of us."

Ling Yuanzi remained silent, only staring intently at his disciple, until Xue Lan began to feel embarrassed.

Lord Wolf slowly raised his paw, admitting that he had just lied:

"Actually, I was the one who made all the plans; she, like you, was forced to accept them."

Xue Tong has always had a strong ability to accept information, unmatched among Xue Lan's relatives and friends. He can logically reconcile the rationality and irrationality of all of Xue Lan's plans.

With her, Xue Lan was able to achieve a high level of self-identity, thereby cultivating self-confidence.

"Ah!"

Xue Tong, who had arrived at the City God Temple alone, couldn't help but sneeze, which made Tu Shan Yan, who was not far away, laugh out loud.

The girl, carrying the gift box, asked in confusion:

"Do immortals also catch a cold?"

"You've caught a cold." Tu Shanyan, dressed in a dark red dress, resembled an elegant and beautiful camellia in the dim candlelight. Her black hair was adorned with an exquisite fox hairpin, and her long, narrow fox eyes were full of charm.

"Someone is talking about you behind your back!"

Xue Tong took two steps forward and moved closer to Tu Shanyan:

"Please tell me, senior, who is secretly talking badly about me behind my back?"

Tu Shan Yan wanted to tease the girl in front of her, but the woman spoke softly: "Telling you is of course possible, but how about Xiao Tong says some nice things to make her older sister happy?"

Xue Tong's eyes lit up; this was finally in her territory.

By the time Xue Lan and Ling Yuanzi leisurely arrived at the City God Temple, Xue Tong had already made Tu Shanyan beam with joy.

The fox spirit, who had lived on Yuangou Mountain in Fengdu for thousands of years, was utterly powerless against modern coaxing techniques, beaming with delight and trembling with joy. Only when Xue Lan entered did she gently interrupt Xue Tong:

"Alright, Tongtong." The woman's gaze swept over Xue Lan, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her narrow eyes. Then she pointed at Xue Lan:

"Your people are here, just so you know."

Xue Lan: "It wasn't you, senior!"
