”You, you … You evil creature, do you know what you're saying? ”
Han Zhongli was flustered and exasperated. He pointed at Lü Dongbin and found it hard to speak. As one of the Eight Immortals, if he didn't return to his position, how could he traverse the East to pick herbs and ruin the plans of his grandmaster?
Compared to Han Zhongli, Iron Crutch Li was much calmer. As far as he was concerned, a girl's love was always a joke. The path of immortals was the most important thing. Lu Dongbin couldn't see it clearly, and Iron Crutch Li wasn't in a rush. He believed that Lu Dongbin would see it clearly sooner or later. The return of the Eight Immortals was a definite trend.
Iron Crutch Li didn't take Lü Dongbin's love affair with White Peony to heart. Instead, he noticed Li Dao, who was standing beside Lü Dongbin.
Iron Crutch Li had once met Li Dao when he was scheming against Liu Yanchang. He didn't know that the person before him had foiled his plans, and he also didn't know that this person before him was Li Dao, the person the Heavenly Court was trying to capture.
After meeting Li Dao twice and seeing his innate ability, Iron Crutch Li could not help but nod his head. This was a good seedling! If they accepted his as their disciple and taught his well, then within a thousand years, they would be in the Eight Immortals Faction.
When he thought here, Iron Crutch Li smiled and looked at Li Dao. He asked, ”Little friend, do you still remember me?”
Li Dao's eyes were cold. He politely smiled and said, ”Of course I remember. I never thought that I would be able to meet an old beggar like you.”
”Little friend, you must be joking. I'm not a beggar. I'm a famous deity from the Heavenly Court. The two times we met, it meant that little friend was fated to meet me. Why don't you join my sect and follow me to achieve immortality?”
Iron Crutch Li had a proud expression on his face. He thought that it would be lucky for a mortal to have the chance to become an Immortal. He should be overjoyed and bow down before him.
Han Zhongli looked at Iron Crutch Li in puzzlement, then carefully sized up Li Dao. He immediately understood that Li Dao was indeed a good seedling, but he still needed to be evaluated.
He would naturally change his identity into that of someone of various identities in order to probe his character.
Li Dao didn't know that Iron Crutch Li and Han Zhongli had thought of this much in an instant. It would have been fine if Old Lord Taishang hadn't attacked him. But now, he just wanted to kill these two people and burn them into nothingness.
However, after considering the consequences of doing so, Li Dao suppressed his dangerous thoughts and sneered, ”You beggar, you sure know how to joke. However, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense today.”
Finishing his words, he turned around and left, afraid that he would be unable to resist attacking the two of them.
Seeing Li Dao walk out, Lü Dongbin quickly followed without even looking at Iron Crutch Li and Han Zhongli.
Iron Crutch Li touched his nose, but he didn't notice anything wrong with Li Dao. He thought that Li Dao didn't believe in his identity as a deity.
”This is a good seedling. But to accept him into our sect, we have to report this to teacher.”
Watching Li Dao and Lu Dongbin leave, Han Zhongli said to Iron Crutch Li while waving a fan.
”No worries, let's test his character first. If he meets the requirements, then we can report to the reserve teacher.”
”However, the matter between Dongbin and that demoness, White Peony, is also troublesome. I really don't know when he'll be able to accept it. If he doesn't return, then the Eight Immortals wouldn't be the Eight Immortals!”
”Humph, what trouble? Just kill that demon. Once you reveal your true form, Dongbin will let you go.” I think he can clearly understand what is important and what is not. ”
Iron Crutch Li sneered, and Han Zhongli nodded in agreement.
The two of them did not know that if Li Dao had not suppressed his killing intent, they would have already broken through to the Dao.
