I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Xu Yuankai patted his shoulder comfortingly, too tired to talk.

Zhou Yuyan reminded, "Let's take a rest as well. I just hope the NPC can sleep in, too."

After hearing this, everyone laughed and dragged their tired bodies to rest.

The next day, they woke up to Xiyu's gong, which almost sent them all away at once.

Xiyu banged the gong vigorously and shouted excitedly: "Get up, get up!"

Everyone was dizzy from the sudden noise and covered their ears. They saw stars and were about to pass out.

An Zhiyu sat up with a look of pain on her face and said frantically, "Xiyu, what are you doing?"

Xiyu said with a smile: "The sun is shining on our butts, let's get going!"

Zhou Yuyan shook her head helplessly, resisting the urge to sleep and got up to clean up.

Xiyu kept urging everyone to hurry up.

An Zhiyu's resentment was heavier than that of a ghost. She stared at Xiyu viciously, as if she wanted to bite him to death. However, Xiyu didn't care. He was happier than yesterday and ran faster.

Jiang Siyou and the others had no good solution for this, they could only continue to suffer and count the days. When the time was finally up, they did not wait a moment longer, grabbed Xiyu who was still trying to continue, forcefully brought him into the carriage, and quickly drove to Bi Bo Lake.

Along the way, everyone stared at Xiyu vigilantly, fearing that he would cause trouble again.

Fortunately, nothing happened and they returned to Bi Bo Lake safely. At this moment, a Taoist with an immortal look was standing facing the wind by the lake.

What is most striking is his temperament. He stands tall and straight like a pine tree, quietly, as if he has been here since time immemorial.

The wind whistled past, and his clothes rustled loudly in the wind, but it failed to shake him at all.

His temperament is otherworldly, like an immortal, with an ethereal air and Taoist charm.

And his snow-white hair was tied casually behind his head, with a few strands fluttering in the wind.

He was dressed in a plain Taoist robe with wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if he had merged into one with the heaven and earth.

Although we can't see his face, one can feel that he is an otherworldly master.

Xiyu, who got off the car, suddenly became quiet and hid behind Zhou Yuyan.

They noticed Xiyu's changes and movements, and couldn't help laughing. They also guessed that this person might be the one who could control Xiyu.

They hurriedly took the reluctant Xiyu over, and before they got close, the Taoist turned around.

The Taoist had a gaunt face and eyes as deep as pools, revealing the wisdom that penetrated the world. His long beard fluttered in the wind, as if telling the story of the passage of time.

The whisk in his hand flutters gently, seeming to brush away the dust and troubles of the world, showing his immortal demeanor.

Xu Yuankai was about to speak when he heard the Taoist say, "My little disciple is naughty and has troubled you all to take care of him for a day. This is my compensation to you all. I hope you will accept it and do not refuse it."

As he spoke, the Taoist took out a brocade box out of thin air and handed it to everyone.

Xu Yuankai took the brocade box and was about to thank him when he heard a voice coming out of the box. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what's in this box?"

An Zhiyu also heard it because she was nearby. She stared at the box curiously.

The Taoist smiled mysteriously: "Open it and you will know."

An Zhiyu carefully opened the brocade box, only to see a lot of things inside. The sound came from one of the brocade bags, and something was moving inside the bag.

Many guesses flashed through her mind at once, and she nervously opened the brocade bag. A golden light flashed, and several tiny psionic butterflies flew out of it.

The butterfly was circling in the air, emitting a strange light. An Zhiyu opened her mouth in surprise: "It's so beautiful, what is this?"

The Taoist said slowly: "This is a guiding butterfly. It should be of some use to you."

After several people thanked him, the Taoist priest said with a serious expression: "Xiyu hasn't come out yet, do you want me to invite you?"

Almost at the moment the Taoist priest spoke, Xiyu ran to him, knelt down, admitted his mistake, and swore an oath skillfully.

The Taoist sighed helplessly and let him get up.

Xiyu got up with a playful smile and stood behind the Taoist priest. Suddenly he realized something and quickly ran to Xu Yuankai and the others to ask for them: "Where are the Youye Grass and the Night Pearl?"

The Taoist scolded: "Xiyu, don't be rude."

Xiyu pursed her lips, stood up straight, and said politely, "Please give me the Youye Grass and Night Pearls that you promised me."

When they saw how he was defeated, they couldn't help feeling relieved, but they didn't show it on their faces. Jiang Siyou handed over the Youye Grass, and Xu Yuankai gave the Yeming Pearl.

After getting the things, Xiyu returned to the Taoist priest again. The Taoist priest spoke again: "Come with me, I will take you to the island in the middle of the lake."

As he spoke, he took a few people onto the bamboo raft parked nearby.

Xiyu behaved unusually well along the way, which surprised Zhang Chengyuan and the others. Afterwards, they stopped paying attention to him and gathered together to check the contents of the brocade box.

In addition to the guiding phoenix butterfly that was flying above their heads, the brocade box also contained four experience books and skill books, a large bag of gold coins, three weapons, a plain flowery dress, and the rest were five invitations.

After the four of them divided it equally, not only did they level up and gain a skill, but they also made up for the day's expenses, and even got twenty more gold coins each.

The weapons were divided among Jiang Siyou, Xu Yuankai and Zhou Yuyan, An Zhiyu took the plain flowery dress, and as for the invitations, each person got one.

Everyone was very satisfied with the distribution result. They couldn't let go of the things they had just received and soon reached the island in the middle of the lake.

Several people got off the bamboo raft and followed the Taoist priest. After walking a few steps, they heard the Taoist priest say, "Please follow my footsteps and follow closely."

Although they felt strange, they still did as they were told.

After only a dozen steps, the scenery in front of me had changed. Fruit trees were stacked up around the garden in the middle of the island in the middle of the lake.

The building is antique, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings.

As soon as I reached the garden gate, I heard the gate guard clasp his fists and salute respectfully: "Greetings, Taoist Lu."

The Taoist priest called Taoist Lu nodded slightly to them and walked in. When Jiang Siyou and the others wanted to follow him in, they were stopped by the guards.

"Do you have an invitation?"

Hearing this, several people took out their invitations and handed them to them. Only then did they let them go. Jiang Siyou and the others hurriedly caught up with Taoist Lu.

The garden was picturesque, but also heavily guarded. They followed Lu Daoren and Xiyu through the winding corridors and saw the well-arranged courtyards, flowers, plants and trees.

Finally, they stopped in front of a courtyard, and Taoist Lu said, "Please go in. Inside is the reception room. I have something else to do. Excuse me."

After saying that, he turned around and left with a graceful back.

Several people looked at Master Lu and his disciples walking away, listened to the sounds coming from their ears, looked at each other, pushed open the gate and walked in.

There were already quite a few people in the yard. Before they could observe too much, the system prompted them that they had triggered the Bi Bo Lake Martial Arts Competition.

How could they refuse if a task was triggered? Of course they would do the task.
