A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 208: Setting Off for Southern Border Again

Mount Shushan, Silver Sword Peak.

Scripture Repository.

Li Xuanxiao was flipping through documents.

A divine ability that can tear through space and jump to another dimension?

Well, Master can’t do that.

Each Tribulation Stage cultivator has different divine abilities.

The old emperor’s divine ability might very well be this.

He can switch dimensions at will.

Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help but recall—the last time the old emperor fought Master Lingxu.

The old emperor turned and tore open space to escape.

Able to flee and fight, pass freely through realms—and who knows if there’s a cooldown.

Best to develop a grand formation that can seal off a space.

A formation alone isn’t enough—it must be anchored by an innate or postnatal spiritual treasure.

Mount Shushan’s Scripture Repository is said to encompass all the knowledge under heaven.

From the outside, it appears to be a seven-story pagoda.

But internally, it follows the “Mustard Seed Holds Sumeru” principle—vast beyond measure.

Each floor is sealed by a “Heavenly Secrets Lock,” which only resonates with specific cultivation levels and matching techniques.

Otherwise, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t be able to access information about the Tribulation Stage—it’d be pure fantasy.

Nowhere else but Mount Shushan offers this kind of opportunity.

Even so, finding the corresponding technique and divine ability isn’t easy for Li Xuanxiao.

He had already spent nearly three months researching various spatial divine arts.

After layer upon layer of filtering and elimination—

In the end, two spiritual treasures stood out as highly compatible in every way, and weren’t completely lost to the world either.

One was the Golden Gourd from Red Embroidery Mountain, a postnatal spiritual treasure.

But the gourd was the artifact of Zhenren Hongyun.

Zhenren Hongyun roamed the world, whereabouts unknown—finding her would be harder than ascending to heaven.

Besides that, the Southern Border had a kind of spatial Gu.

But controlling such a Gu, given his own Gu arts, was pure fantasy.

In other words, to use this Gu, he’d need a Gu Master with at least Body Fusion or Spirit Transformation Stage cultivation.

According to the latest information, only the Gu King lineage of the Southern Border had cultivated such Gu Masters.

Li Xuanxiao nodded thoughtfully.

Looks like I really do need to take a trip to the Southern Border.

..........

Southern Border—a unique cultivation region.

Famous for producing Gu Masters, who are part of a separate cultivation system.

They use Gu insects as their method of cultivation.

Each Gu has its own unique abilities and traits—some release lethal poisons, killing enemies instantly.

Others excel at healing wounds, while offensive Gu may unleash frost, fire, or possess dual attack-defense capabilities.

Southern Border, Mount Shushan branch office.

Li Xuanxiao was preparing to take a mission to Southern Border from the Sword Bearing Pavilion.

And set out directly.

However, in the Southern Border—

A cultivator of his level couldn’t find solo missions.

No choice but to join a multi-person mission.

But lately, no suitable teams were heading to Southern Border.

No choice—Li Xuanxiao had to form his own team.

【Mission: Savage beasts are wreaking havoc in a certain area in the southwest of Southern Border. Disciples from all sides are requested to assist in clearing them.】

This was a joint mission issued by several Gu tribes in the southwest of Southern Border.

But first, the payment wasn’t great. Second, the journey was long.

And the number and strength of the beasts were unknown.

So this was the kind of mission that was all effort and no reward—hardly anyone wanted it.

Li Xuanxiao took this mission.

The mission required at least four people.

Li Xuanxiao looked around, “Anyone interested in going to Southern Border....”

Before he finished, a voice rang out behind him.

“Me!”

Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help but shiver and slowly turned around.

He saw an abstract, terrifying, indescribable figure standing behind him.

Li Xuanxiao’s mouth twitched.

He hadn’t sensed Senior Sister Su Wan at all!!!

“S-Senior Sister Su Wan... what are you doing here? Where did you come from?”

“I’ve been here all along. Weren’t you looking for teammates for a Southern Border mission?”

“Senior Sister, you’re busy with other things—this mission....”

“This mission requires a Golden Core cultivator to lead. Perfect,” Su Wan said calmly.

Li Xuanxiao knew he had no reason to refuse his senior sister.

Senior Sister Su Wan was one of the top three Golden Core disciples in the sect—her combat strength unmatched.

No ordinary disciple would refuse her joining.

“Senior Sister Su.”

A familiar voice rang out.

Qin Wenke squeezed out of the crowd.

“Junior Brother Xuanxiao!”

Ever since their last mission together, Qin Wenke considered himself on good terms with Li Xuanxiao.

“Senior Brother Qin, you don’t have other things to do? This mission has low pay—surely there’s something better to do.”

“Of course I have things to do—on the first day, I missed Senior Sister Su. Second day, I missed Sister Su. Third day, still missed Senior Sister Su....” Qin Wenke grinned.

Su Wan ignored him.

Li Xuanxiao maintained a polite smile.

Since that’s the case, then this time...

“Senior Brother.”

Just then, a long-absent figure appeared before Li Xuanxiao.

Li Xuanxiao raised an eyebrow.

It was Jiang Luoshui, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Ever since Jiang Luoshui tried to stand up for Su Wan and take revenge on the Xiao family—

Li Xuanxiao had stopped her, and she had been confined.

But since she hadn’t actually done anything, just had the thought—

She was only confined for a few years, and now the confinement was finally over.

“Senior Brother Xuanxiao, Senior Sister Su~ long time no see. Did you miss Luoshui~”

Standard nasal voice, plus those overly exaggerated expressions.

Not something most people could mimic.

Li Xuanxiao sighed deeply in his heart. Is there not one normal person?

Who’s gonna pop up next?

To put an end to this, to avoid unstable elements—

Li Xuanxiao quickly said, “Alright, then our team is set. Senior Sister Su will lead. No objections, right?”

“No objections!” Qin Wenke shouted.

Su Wan frowned, “Wait, doesn’t the mission require at least five people?”

Li Xuanxiao replied, “This mission was accepted by me and my junior sister together. With Junior Sister Zhao Lu, that makes five.”

Su Wan understood.

The five-person team was assembled just like that.

So, the next day, after gearing up— frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

The five of them boarded a flying boat bound for Southern Border.

The journey was uneventful, and after half a month they arrived.

But as they passed by Wuwang Mountains at the border of Southern Border—Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help but recall.

It was here that he got entangled with Di Nü Feng and Liu Qiushui.

What a mess~

Soon, they arrived at Mount Shushan’s Southern Border branch office.

Mount Shushan had already received the notice in advance—there was a designated person waiting to receive them.

Southern Border is surrounded by mountains and filled with fierce beasts.

Every year, many people die in the jaws of those beasts.

The Mount Shushan disciple in charge of guarding the place explained to them.
