Lin Xiao reached out his hand, grabbed at Diling's hair, and lifted up in the air.
On seeing that, Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors went thunder-struck forthwith.
Dili's capability was nothing to be sneezed at. It could tell warriors' physique types with a single glimpse. In addition, it was able to track down books of martial secrets with astounding accuracy.
It was even more familiar with some places in the Taixuan Sect than most of the guys here.
However, the junior martial master tugged it like a pet. That was utter profanity to the spiritual monster.
They had experienced Diling's fit before — it was terribly appalling.
Small as it was, once it flew off the handle, it felt as if a dormant giant monster had been woken amid its dreams. A burst of awe-inspiring power generated from that could blow one away effortlessly. Even the seniors didn't have what it took to withstand that.
Therefore, Diling had been long worshipped as a guardian spiritual monster.
Although Lin Xiao boasted an unprecedentedly unusual physique type, he would definitely irritate Diling with such a disrespectful treatment. Based on their experience, they expected Diling's fit as its reaction to that.
Nevertheless, they found that it was merely a beginning.
Lin Xiao let go of Diling and littered it away in a light-minded manner.
This…This…
The four onlookers almost passed out due to a sudden heart attack.
Right then, they managed to make a timely identification of something unusual — Diling looked dreadfully grieved. It looked as if it hadn't had balls to revolt against Lin Xiao's ill-treatment.
"What the hell is that?" They couldn't for the life of them make it out.
"Master, please don't tell them what I informed you about. Otherwise, they wouldn't allow me to get around with that."
Diling started at Lin Xiao with tears welling up in its eyes.
On sensing its thoughts, Lin Xiao became tender-hearted and changed his mind. "Well, I'd better forget about it. It already had the punishments that it deserved. And it could make up for its wrongdoings in the future."
Then he broke the ice with a random line, "Esteemed secondary chief senior, I've talked with Diling about you. It told me that you're forgiven."
The secondary chief senior looked at Lin Xiao and Diling, appearing pretty suspicious. "That's it?"
Diling hastened to respond, nodding ceaselessly, "Yes, yes. If you need me in the future, just come and tell me."
Then it cast a look at Lin Xiao and thought, "Is that okay? Master, how do you find it?"
However, Lin Xiao simply disregarded it.
Diling had no option but to look back at the secondary chief senior. It seemed that its old company — arrogance toward all the Taixuan guys had long gone.
Its innocent and meek look brought relief to the secondary chief senior. He confirmed his speculation that the spiritual monster would save him the trouble. Hence, his gratitude toward Lin Xiao reached an all-time high.
The secondary chief senior's issue was sorted. Lin Xiao hastened to shoo away Diling, in a bid to have a private talk with Li Taixuan and the chief seniors.
"Diling, you can go home now. I have something to discuss with them."
"Yes, master!" Diling made a prompt response with due respect forthwith and dashed off with immediate effect.
Li Taixuan and the chief seniors stayed confused.
Later, Li Taixuan finally came back to himself.
"Martial uncle, what's going on?"
Lin Xiao decided to make a brief response to wrap it up, or else, he would have to touch on Li Taixuan's field trip to the wonderland last year. Once Li Taixuan knew it, he would surely fly into a rage. Hence, Lin Xiao deemed it advisable to keep that away from him.
"It will never ride the high horse again in my presence from now on. Please don't bother to treat it like god anymore."
On hearing that, Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors went slack-jawed again.
However, they soon came back to themselves as Lin Xiao inquired them about The Refining Divine Pithy Formula.
"Referring to your question, all disciples have concluded their practice of the modified Refining Divine Pithy Formula. I told them that this cultivation method would help them make the most of the pellets they already took. They all went excited about it and did their martial cultivation at full capacity."
Indeed, the practice of the modified Refining Divine Pithy Formula was the most efficient approach.
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, beaming radiantly.
The annual martial contest of the Taixuan Sect was closing in on them. However, based on Lin Xiao's plan, it sufficed to have all the disciples well-prepared for the potential invasion of the Suomo Sect.
