Chapter 523: Old Friends’ Hearts Change Easily
"Sister..." Li Fan looked at Sister Zhao, who was about to be summoned by Master Ji alone and looked inexplicable, and hesitated to speak.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you, Junior Brother?" She glanced at Li Fan and said softly: "You and I have lived and died together for more than a hundred years. Is there anything that cannot be told to each other?"
"Nothing." Li Fan smiled freely, "Sister, you go. Remember, no matter what you do, I will support you."
Sister Zhao smiled and walked into the main hall of the sect.
"Boom!"
The heavy door slammed shut. Li Fan looked at Sister Zhao's disappearing back, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes that was not easy for others to detect.
Instead of waiting outside the main hall, he returned to Penglai Peak where he and Sister Zhao lived, and looted all the valuable things in the cave.
Then he pretended to patrol and came to the exit of the sect protection formation.
It seemed that his performance was no different from that of ordinary disciples, but in fact Li Fan was ready to run away at any time.
It was not because Li Fan wanted to betray the Dao Sect, but because...
During the hundred years at the foot of the mountain, Li Fan accidentally discovered that Senior Sister Zhao was secretly collecting the blood of those monks and even mortals infected with the [Immortal Plague].
Although only one drop was taken each time, the action was extremely secretive.
But how could it escape the eyes of Li Fan, who was with her day and night?
At first, Senior Sister Zhao would fall seriously ill every time after taking a blood sample.
Relying on Li Fan's careful care and sufficient elixirs to protect her body, she survived safely.
Li Fan asked her the reason, but Senior Sister just joked that she also wanted to try to reverse the principle of [Immortal Plague] and directly prove immortality.
Li Fan naturally didn't believe it.
However, knowing Senior Sister Zhao's temperament, once she made a decision, even he, the Taoist companion who had been with her for a hundred years, couldn't persuade her back.
He simply didn't dissuade her, but just said to her, "Your health is the most important thing."
Later, she seemed to really listen to Li Fan's advice and slowly stopped collecting blood samples.
The intervals between illnesses became shorter and shorter, and the symptoms of each infection became milder and milder.
But Li Fan knew that everything was an illusion.
Senior Sister Zhao did not give up her crazy behavior at all.
And the reason why she seemed to be no longer abnormal was that she had mastered some method to isolate the influence of [Immortal Plague]...
Although they had been staying in the same place for these years.
But Senior Sister Zhao's cultivation was getting higher and higher, and she had grown to the point that Li Fan could not see through.
The various auras that were inadvertently emitted from her from time to time made Li Fan feel secretly frightened.
Even if it was certain that Senior Sister Zhao had no intention of hurting himself. But Li Fan still felt an unexplained sense of crisis in his heart.
Although Senior Sister Zhao did not say it, Li Fan could guess it. She collected so much blood containing the power of [Immortal Plague], probably to deal with Ji Changxi, the head of the Da Dao Sect.
A hundred years of deliberate suppression had already made Senior Sister Zhao's dissatisfaction with the head of the sect reach its limit.
The so-called "If you block my path, I will not stop until I die."
Li Fan believed that it was not impossible for the crazy Senior Sister Zhao to do such a rebellious thing.
Not long ago, when she stepped into the main hall of the sect, the murderous intent flashed in her eyes, which was definitely not Li Fan's illusion.
"Although Ji Changxi has been in harmony with the Tao for more than 600 years, his magical powers and magic are unfathomable. But after all, he is not yet in the realm of immortality."
"Judging from the talent and actual combat power displayed by Senior Sister Zhao, plus the help of [Immortal Plague], she may not have no chance of winning."
"It's just a narrow victory, so what? Kill Ji Changxi, and there are still a dozen Hedao elders. There are even those two immortal celestial masters who have been in seclusion to support them."
"Could it be that they can all be killed?"
Li Fan was puzzled as to why Senior Sister Zhao made such a decision.
Whether it succeeds or not, everyone in the Da Dao Sect will know about it.
At that time, not only will she face the siege of the entire sect, but Li Fan, Senior Sister Zhao's Taoist partner, will surely not be spared.
So Li Fan, who was prepared for a rainy day, had already prepared to run away.
As for why he didn't leave now, it was purely because he was looking forward to seeing if a miracle would happen.
Time passed little by little.
Because Ji Changxi had given an order before, he and Daozi had important matters to discuss and no one could disturb them.
So the sect hall has been closed.
Li Fan looked at the top of the mountain from afar, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
Seven days later.
The door of the hall slowly opened, and Li Fan's breathing suddenly stagnated.
However, something unexpected happened.
Ji Changxi was in front, and Senior Sister Zhao was behind.
The two walked out together.
"Didn't the two fight to the death? Am I overthinking?" Surprised, Li Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Not only did Senior Sister Zhao not fight to the death, but the relationship between the two seemed to be much more harmonious than before.
Even when she left at the end, Ji Changxi patted her shoulder to show encouragement.
And Sister Zhao actually accepted it calmly, and there was no strange expression on her face.
Seeing this scene, Li Fan's heart was slightly shocked, and he was full of confusion.
In the past, except for himself, Sister Zhao was very averse to physical contact between others and her.
And now...
Feeling bad, many thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind.
But there was no time to think about them.
Li Fan first reacted and realized that he still had something to do.
He hurried back to Penglai Peak and put everything back in place before Sister Zhao returned.
After Senior Sister Zhao returned, she did not notice anything unusual in her cave.
After all, they had not been back to this "home" for a hundred years.
"Senior Sister, we have been busy with trivial matters for a hundred years, and it seems that we haven't been intimate for a long time. How about..." Li Fan tried to invite them to practice together.
A trace of nostalgia flashed in Senior Sister Zhao's eyes, and she agreed with a charming look.
After a while of ecstasy, Li Fan's doubts gradually disappeared.
"What is the matter with the head calling you this time?" Li Fan asked casually, holding Senior Sister's flawless body like white jade in his arms.
"He said that he would pass the position of the head of the Dao Sect to me soon. He asked me to prepare in advance." Senior Sister Zhao's tone was flat, without any fluctuation.
It seemed that what she was going to inherit was not the leader of the ten sects of the immortal way, but a toy for playing house.
But just such a light word that she didn't care about at all fell into Li Fan's ears, but it was like thunder, shaking his brain and temporarily losing the ability to think.
"What about the Zhutian Dao Jing?" Li Fan, whose mind was completely blank, couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
"Hehe, the headmaster's exclusive skills, of course, have to be handed over to me to practice again." As if taking back a beloved toy, Sister Zhao put her head against Li Fan's chest, her fingers constantly circling around his heart, and said with a chuckle.
