Chapter 866: The Enlightenment of the Two Sages (3)

Then, he saw Miao Xiao, who was dressed in black, skipping in.

“Greetings, Prince Xu.” Miao Xiao hurriedly stopped and respectfully cupped his hands. However, his eyes were rolling around, revealing a crafty look.

Xu Bai looked behind Miao Xiao and realized that there was no one else behind him. He said thoughtfully,”I see. You’re in charge of things here now?”

Miao Xiao nodded his head vigorously. Seeing that there was no one around, he put on a particularly wretched look and rubbed his hands.

It was hard to imagine that although Miao Xiao wasn’t a peerless beauty, she had a cute and fairy-like air about her.

And such a cute woman could actually do such a wretched action. It was simply ridiculous.

“What do you want?” Xu Bai’s mouth twitched.

To be honest, he had seen this expression and this look from Ying Yue before. However, Miao Xiao was different from Ying Yue. She was not as bold as Ying Yue. After all, Xu Bai was now in a different position, so she had to restrain herself as much as possible.

But Shadow Moon was different. After seeing Xu Bai, she directly attacked him.

Miao Xiao stared at Xu Bai pitifully and mumbled,””When I came, Grandma told me to follow the rules when I see you. How can I not follow these rules?”

Xu Bai waved his hand.” You don’t have to say it, but you have to act like a normal person. You know what I mean by normal.””

“Alright!” Miao Xiao immediately beamed with joy. He skipped to Xu Bai’s side and sat down. He placed his chin on his palm and stared at Xu Bai without blinking.

“Prince Xu, why are you here this time?”

Although she was a fanatical fan, she knew that it was time to talk about serious matters, so she did not change the topic.

Xu Bai nodded and put down the teacup in his hand.”There is indeed a serious matter. I have come here this time around to find something. The matter is like this…”

In the quiet room, he told the whole story, emphasizing that he really wanted to learn about his failure to become a saint. Of course, although it was a bit abrupt, he didn’t want to beat around the bush.

If he gave it to her, then he would give it. If not, then he would see if there was any room for a deal.

Miao Xiao was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered.”Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”

After saying that, she skipped away happily.

Xu Bai was speechless.

What was going on? Why did it feel a little off?

He didn’t give a straight answer whether he agreed or not.

However, Miao Xiao had asked him to wait for a while, so he did not leave for the time being. He continued to sit in his seat and wait.

After a few minutes, Miao Xiaocai walked in from outside, holding a book in his hand and handing it to Xu Bai.

“Here, this is the book you wanted.”

Xu Bai was speechless.

He felt that he had a lot of question marks today, but he was indeed very puzzled.

This thing was very precious, but Miao Xiao gave it to him so simply. It was too simple.

“You’re giving it to me so easily?”

He had thought that this trip would be very troublesome, and he had even prepared to make a trade. However, he had not expected that he would be so happy to give him the experience of failing to become a saint.

Moreover, this item was so important that Miao Xiao had kept it. It was obvious that Miao Xiao had brought it with him.

Miao Xiao placed his index finger on his lower lip and looked up at the ceiling.”Grandma said that this thing was originally for you, but we can’t give it to you on our own accord. We have to ask you to come over and ask for it before we give it to you. Moreover, we have to look very troubled before we give it to you…”

Xu Bai was speechless.

How could he not understand the meaning of this sentence? In fact, this thing was very easy to understand.

To make a simple analogy, if you wanted to give something to someone important, if you gave it directly, it would seem very unimportant.

However, if the person asked for it, and you put on a difficult expression, but still gave it to him in the end, the value of the item would increase, and the favor you gave would also increase.

From this, Xu Bai guessed that the higher-ups of the Miao Cult had long wanted to give him the item, but they had been holding onto it all this time, probably waiting for this moment.

He did not expect Miao Xiao to be so direct and even say what he had just said.

“Then it would be impolite of me to refuse.” Xu Bai said with a smile.

He put the book away. Since the other party was willing to give it to him, he didn’t mind keeping it.

The room fell silent after he put away his failed attempt to become a saint. There was a sense of awkwardness in the air.

Miao Xiao’s eyes rolled around, looking left and right as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Bai felt that he had to break the silence at this time, so he condensed his words into two words: “What’s the matter?”

Miao Xiao nodded happily when he heard Xu Bai’s words.””Yes!”

Xu Bai rubbed his forehead helplessly.””If you have something to say, you should have said so earlier. I just received a book of your experiences. If there’s anything I can help with, I won’t reject it.”

“Isn’t that just a bad idea?” “Wait for me a little longer.” Miao Xiao chuckled.”

Then, without waiting for Xu Bai to speak, she ran out in a hurry. Xu Bai looked at Miao Xiao’s back and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The Miao Sect was really bold to hand over the younger generation to Miao Xiao alone.

Looking at the situation, there was probably something that he had to do himself.
