"Cangyue, I told you we would meet again."
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Jun Xiaoyao had a gentle smile on his face, as if he hadn't noticed the presence of the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King.
"Young Master Yu…"
Yi Cangyue was not the type of woman who was good at speaking flattering words.
But in her eyes, a hint of gratitude subtly emerged.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao could have chosen not to appear.
Because the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King was indeed not someone ordinary people dared to provoke.
But even knowing that the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King was about to act against her,
Jun Xiaoyao still appeared.
This showed that Jun Xiaoyao deliberately helped her.
And this was already the second time.
Yi Cangyue's nature was cold, but that didn't mean she didn't know how to be grateful.
So at this moment, Yi Cangyue didn't want to drag Jun Xiaoyao into trouble.
"Your Excellency, who are you? You look a bit unfamiliar," the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King said in a deep voice.
He basically knew all the Prodigies of the Five Great Holy Clans.
He even had some understanding of the Prodigies of the Four Direction God Hall.
But where did this White-robed Young Master in front of him come from?
And although his Qi was not obvious, the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King always had a vague sense of trepidation.
It was as if this White-robed Young Master, whose figure was indistinct, was a peerless great fiend.
"I have no sect or school, just a leisurely immortal crane, not worth the Little Heavenly King's attention," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
In his eyes, the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King was indeed much stronger than ordinary Prodigies.
But he was just a slightly larger ant.
However, Jun Xiaoyao did not intend to act against the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King now.
After all, he was Mu Xuan's fated opponent.
How could Jun Xiaoyao help Mu Xuan resolve his great enemy?
On the contrary, he now needed the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King to live and make things difficult for Mu Xuan.
This was also part of Jun Xiaoyao's plan.
The Tai Xu Little Heavenly King stared at Jun Xiaoyao, his expression fluctuating.
Although he was confident, he was also cautious.
Jun Xiaoyao gave him a very ominous sense of danger.
Moreover, even if he made a move,
As long as Jun Xiaoyao blocked him, Yi Cangyue could still leave safely.
So, making a move now was meaningless.
After understanding this, the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King reined in his killing intent.
He glanced at Yi Cangyue and said with a faint smile, "As expected of Saintess Cangyue, you can always find a Dao Companion wherever you go."
"This Young Master is not…" Yi Cangyue bit her lip.
"Heh, this brother, being a hero to save a beauty is not that simple; it might even attract other troubles."
"We'll meet again at the Ancient Road's end, in Heaven and Earth City."
The Tai Xu Little Heavenly King took a deep look at Jun Xiaoyao and turned to leave.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm.
This Tai Xu Little Heavenly King was quite sensible and didn't rashly attack him.
Otherwise, Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't be able to control the force of his attack.
What if he accidentally killed him?
Wouldn't that just benefit Mu Xuan for free?
"Young Master Yu, thank you."
Yi Cangyue didn't know what to say; she wasn't good at communication to begin with.
"It was just a chance encounter, but I didn't actually help with my hands," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled softly.
Yi Cangyue looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a profound gaze.
If other Prodigies could make the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King wary, they would probably be strutting around proudly.
But this Young Master in front of her truly didn't care at all.
This kind of transcendent detachment and disdainful demeanor was something Mu Xuan did not possess.
"Although Young Master Yu didn't make a move, you've been troubled and earned the Tai Xu Little Heavenly King's resentment," Yi Cangyue said with a hint of apology.
"I don't mind. Rather, Cangyue, are you also heading to Heaven and Earth City next?" Jun Xiaoyao inquired.
Yi Cangyue nodded.
"Then why don't we go together? My destination is also Heaven and Earth City," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
His words were natural, with no other special meaning embedded within them.
Yi Cangyue could also see that when Jun Xiaoyao looked at her, his eyes were clear, without any particular thoughts, just like a very natural friend.
She thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Then let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
Yi Cangyue walked beside him.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed a fluffy little head poking out from Jun Xiaoyao's collar.
"This is…"
Yi Cangyue's beautiful eyes, which always carried a hint of indifference and coldness, couldn't help but show a glimmer of brilliance.
"It? It's just my pet…"
Jun Xiaoyao picked up the orange cat – no, it should be the Little White Tiger.
"What are you saying? I'm not your pet! I'm the dignified White…"
"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Little White Tiger immediately shivered and dared not say anything more.
And Yi Cangyue, beside them, seemed to have little stars appearing in her eyes.
This surprised Jun Xiaoyao slightly.
Cold as frost on the outside, yet she liked fluffy little things.
This Yi Cangyue was quite a contrast in cuteness.
"Do you want to pet it?"
Jun Xiaoyao picked up the Little White Tiger by the scruff of its neck and handed it to Yi Cangyue.
Yi Cangyue's pretty face flushed as she took the Little White Tiger.
The Little White Tiger looked glum.
She, the dignified Young Miss of the White Tiger Divine Hall, was actually being petted like a cat.
"Hmph… This big villain, when the Four Direction God Hall appears, I will definitely get revenge for this humiliation!" the Little White Tiger vowed in her heart.
Perhaps because of the Little White Tiger,
Yi Cangyue and Jun Xiaoyao also felt a growing sense of natural closeness, like old friends who got along harmoniously.
And Jun Xiaoyao's conversation, his vision, and his understanding of Cultivation.
All left Yi Cangyue inwardly amazed.
There was such a Prodigy in the Xuanhuang Universe!
Yi Cangyue even considered whether she should introduce Jun Xiaoyao to Mu Xuan.
Through Jun Xiaoyao's conversation and vision,
Yi Cangyue even felt that he was enough to be Mu Xuan's Master.
As if he noticed Yi Cangyue's hint of hesitation,
A glint flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, then he smiled faintly and said, "Cangyue, is there something you wish to say?"
Yi Cangyue hesitated slightly, then spoke.
"Young Master Yu, I have a… friend. Perhaps you also know him; he is the Young Lord of the Mu Tian Holy Clan, Mu Xuan."
"Young Master's vision is unparalleled, and your understanding of Cultivation truly fills Cangyue with admiration."
"Cangyue would like to introduce Young Master to Mu Xuan. If Young Master could then give Mu Xuan some pointers, that would be wonderful."
Upon hearing this, a smile deepened in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes. He said calmly, "Oh, you want me to be his Master?"
"Something like that…" Yi Cangyue said.
"Is that Young Lord Mu Xuan your Dao Companion?" Jun Xiaoyao continued.
"No, not yet…" Yi Cangyue lowered her head, her snow-white face subtly tinged with a blush.
In the depths of Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, there was only faint coldness, but on the surface, he said calmly,
"That is not impossible."
"Thank you, Young Master. With Young Master's guidance, Mu Xuan will surely be able to deal with that Tai Xu Little Heavenly King," Yi Cangyue showed a joyful expression.
She herself didn't realize it.
She, who usually had an icy demeanor, now had an unprecedentedly rich range of expressions beside Jun Xiaoyao.
"Of course, I am certainly willing to help," Jun Xiaoyao said with a deeper meaning in his tone.
He looked into the distance, muttering to himself in his heart.
"In Heaven and Earth City, I suppose a good show will be staged…"
