"Good, good, good! My child, quickly get up!" Lin Xuankong looked at Little Hu, whose face was full of excitement, his own face beaming with joy.

Although hearing the words "foster father," Lin Xuankong couldn't help but think of Lv Bu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as the fates of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.

However, Little Hu's character was simple and honest; he absolutely couldn't be someone like Lv Bu!

Lin Xuankong helped Little Hu up and patted his head. "Foster Father is really glad to take you, this Immortal Sect True Inheritance, as my foster son!"

Li Xiaohu chuckled. "Foster Father, don't worry. Even though I am just an Immortal Sect True Inheritance now, there's a chance you can reincarnate me as an Immortal in the future. By then, you will be the foster father of an Immortal!"

"Why insist on becoming an Immortal? What if I reincarnate you as a Fairy? Can't I be a Fairy's godfather?" Lin Xuankong, in a good mood, couldn't help but joke.

Hearing this, Li Xiaohu quickly shook his head repeatedly. "No, no Fairies! I, Li Xiaohu, haven't had enough of being a man; how could I become a woman!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but laugh heartily. Little Hu, seeing this, also scratched his head and chuckled.

This father and son were evidently extremely happy at this moment. Nearby, Cao Yu was full of gloom as he watched his own body kneel before someone else, repeatedly calling that person "Foster Father." This feeling is truly awful, so depressing!

After laughing for a while, Lin Xuankong suddenly felt a jolt in his mind as a large amount of information poured in.

His expression stiffened, and he signaled Little Hu to remain vigilant. Then he sat on the rattan chair in the courtyard, carefully comprehending the Time Technique that had appeared in his mind.

After more than half an hour, Lin Xuankong finally extracted his Heart Spirit from the flood of information.

Looking around, he saw Li Xiaohu standing guard at the entrance to the back courtyard, vigilantly watching the surroundings. Cao Yu, on the other hand, was sitting listlessly under the Old Willow Tree, looking as if life held no meaning.

Lin Xuankong moved swiftly, landing beside Little Hu. "I have already promised Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er to meet her later. Now that many matters are settled, it's time to see the Third Princess so as not to worry her!"

Li Xiaohu cupped his fists. "Then let me accompany you, Foster Father!"

Lin Xuankong knocked on Little Hu's forehead. "What 'Little Hu'? From now on, your name is Cao Yu, the dignified True Inheritance of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. From this moment on, even if you meet the Third Princess of Great Xia, the Sect Leader of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, or Emperor Xiao of Great Xia, you must display sufficient presence! You need to show them what the aura of an Immortal Sect is, and what the aura of an Immortal Sect True Inheritance is!"

Li Xiaohu, after being knocked on the forehead, cried out in pain. Rubbing his forehead, he rolled his eyes and then put on a serious look. "Foster Father, how about this?"

Lin Xuankong immediately shook his head. "An Immortal Sect True Inheritance doesn't need others' judgment. You are you, a unique firework. Within the borders of the Great Xia Dynasty, no one can criticize you. Remember that?"

Li Xiaohu immediately puffed out his chest, flicked the sleeves of his white robe, stared coldly at Lin Xuankong, and snapped, "Whether this True Inheritance remembers or not, do I need a mere Mu Shiba like you to instruct me?! What kind of rustic are you to dare shout at me!"

Lin Xuankong: ...

This guy... should I beat this foster son of mine, or praise him for getting into character so quickly? Why do I suddenly feel that now that this kid has late-stage Ninth Layer strength and the status of an Immortal Sect True Inheritance, he's starting to show signs of becoming like Lv Bu!

Cao Yu, watching this from the side, grew even more depressed. That damned Li Xiaohu! He's learning to imitate me so damn fast...

After instructing Little Bear to keep an eye on Cao Yu, Lin Xuankong headed towards the inner city of the Great Marsh Prefecture with Li Xiaohu.

Of course, his eagerness to see Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er now wasn't just to ease her worries. With Little Hu having become his foster son, Cao Yu, an Immortal Sect True Inheritance, many things would be much more convenient for him...

「In the blink of an eye」

The two passed through houses and alleys, landing within Linshui Pavilion, the Celestial Sect's residence.

As soon as they landed in the courtyard, several figures hidden in the corners revealed themselves.

One of the female Celestial Sect disciples, upon seeing their faces clearly, immediately adopted a solemn expression, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Cao Zhen's Biography!"

Li Xiaohu flicked the long sleeves of his white robe, completely ignoring the female disciple, and walked directly towards the council hall.

As he walked, his robe sleeves fluttered. He looked both aloof and ethereal, truly embodying the presence of an Immortal Sect True Inheritance!

Seeing this, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. This fellow, Little Hu, always acts like an immature child when he's alone with me. But out here, this imposing demeanor of his is quite convincing! These past few months of training as the Feng Family Patriarch have indeed helped this already extremely clever little fellow mature. He knows when to relax and when to put on a dignified front!

「At this moment, in the council hall」

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er sat in the seat of honor, her eyes tinged with worry as she constantly glanced outside the council hall.

Mr. Mu left with that poisoned Cao Yu... can he truly subdue him completely? This time, if things can really be settled properly, it would be a tremendous boon for both myself and the Great Xia Dynasty. But if there's even the slightest mishap, the wrath of the Immortal Sect is truly not something the Great Xia Dynasty can withstand. The distinction between Immortal and Mortal is like that between clouds and mud...
