Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Juanyu made trouble for a while, and finally got tired, so he landed on Cifeng's shoulder and buried his head in his wings. Zhenjiao Gate was not far from the mountain city. The two arrived at the gate in the afternoon. There were many people from all over the place, and there were also many disciples of Zhenjiao Gate holding a small gadget to check people who wanted to enter the gate.

"What are they checking?" The scene in front of him was chaotic yet orderly. Looking at the people coming and going and the serious atmosphere of the Zhenjiao Sect disciples, Xiao suddenly felt a little nervous.

Ci Feng leaned close to Xiao's ear and whispered, "It's nothing, I'm just checking to see if there are any people from the Ancient Wilderness Sect mixed in the crowd. I'm telling you this, don't go out and tell anyone about it." Then, he brought Xiao to the front of the crowd and said, "Wait for me here." After that, he stepped forward and negotiated with the disciples of the Zhenjiao Sect. The other party's attitude was also very respectful, and Xiao had some guesses in his mind.

"I'm back. Someone will be here soon. Since you're lucky enough to meet me, there's no need to waste time waiting."

"Are you from Zhenjiaomen?" Xiao looked at Cifeng who had just returned.

"Me?" Ci Feng pointed at himself and waved his hand with a smile: "Of course I'm not. I just come to the Zhenjiao Sect often to visit my friends, and I got to know the disciples there unknowingly. If I were from the Zhenjiao Sect, there would be no need for you to wait here, I would just take you in directly."

After a while, a tall and thin disciple of Zhenjiao Sect came over with a small gadget for inspection.

“Senior Brother Qiu.” He bowed to Ci Feng, then looked at Juan Yu standing on his shoulder, and finally his gaze fell on Xiao: “This must be Senior Brother Qiu’s friend, right? During this special period, please forgive me if we are not hospitable enough.”

He put the inspection tool on Xiao's forehead. Xiao was in a trance for a moment, feeling that he was seen through. At the same time, Xiao, who was resting, opened his eyes and sounded a little annoyed: "I hate this feeling of being seen through, but for the sake of my other self, I will reluctantly cooperate."

"Okay, please take it. Please come in." The tall and thin disciple of Zhenjiao Sect put a bracelet in Xiao's hand. "Most places in the sect require a disciple token to pass. This temporary pass token can allow you to enter the areas that are open to the public. It is convenient for you to look around during the boring time before the secret realm begins."

"Do you need me to take you to where you live?" The disciples of Zhenjiao Sect made way.

"No need. We don't want to compete with those people for a place to live." Ci Feng rejected his kindness, then thought of something and added, "By the way, don't tell your senior brother about my coming here. I have a surprise for him."

"Huh?" The disciple of Zhenjiao Sect was stunned for a moment and nodded with a puzzled look on his face.

Xiao felt a gaze coming from behind him. He turned around and saw a huge crowd of people behind him, and couldn't find the source of the gaze.

"Xiao, let's go. I'll take you to see the place where I lived when I came here before." Ci Feng took a few steps and found that Xiao did not follow him, so he turned back and urged him.

"Okay." Xiao responded, put aside his doubts, and started to chase after him.

In the crowd, Jingchuan watched Xiao enter the mountain gate from afar, with a hint of surprise and worry on his face. He took out a wolf tooth pendant, hesitated again and again, and finally put it down.

"I hope we won't meet again in the Dragonbone Abyss."

Walking on the mountain road leading to the inner part of Zhenjiao Gate, Xiao felt the gradually richer vitality in the air and suddenly asked, "Can we really prevent people from the Ancient Cult from sneaking in by relying on that thing?"

“Of course not.” Ci Feng glanced at Juan Yu, whose body was shaking as he walked, and said, “Didn’t I tell you before that the Ancient Desolate Sect relied on the semi-finished divine favor technique to control its followers? Whether it is a complete divine favor technique or a semi-finished divine favor technique, it will leave a breath mark in the body of the caster. That magic weapon is used to check whether there is this mark in the body. In the past, this could indeed completely eliminate the problem. At that time, all the members of the Ancient Desolate Sect had this mark. As for now that it has gotten rid of the name of the Demonic Sect…”

"But the bigwigs who make the decisions will definitely be able to think of these things, so there is no need for us guests to worry about them."

There were faint sounds of conversation coming from the front, as if some disciples of Zhenjiao Sect were walking towards this side.

"Follow me, come this way." Ci Feng pulled Xiao's sleeve and rushed out of the mountain road.

After leaving the main road, Ci Feng was still as familiar as returning home, and found a house that was sealed with restrictions. He unsealed it and pushed open the door. It was spotless inside, as if it had just been cleaned.

"I have several empty rooms here. You can choose any one and stay there. You don't have to squeeze with others. I don't have any extra beddings or anything like that. You can go to the disciple who is in charge of the food and accommodation for outsiders like you to get a set. He should be in the area designated for outsiders. I almost forgot. This is your first time here, so you probably don't know where that place is. Well, okay, I'll take you there then..."

In the next few days, Cifeng had been shutting himself in the kitchen, tinkering with something, and completely ignoring Xiao, so Xiao could only figure it out on his own. During this period, there was a lot of turnover in the Zhenjiao Gate, and some conflicts were inevitable. Those that could not be resolved privately had to be resolved on the martial arts stage. Most of those who came here and took the initiative to conflict with others were arrogant people, and it was very easy for Xiao to teach them a lesson. After winning several victories easily, he attracted the attention of the deacon in the gate. A deacon found him and invited him to join the Zhenjiao Gate, saying that as long as he agreed, he would be allowed to enter the inner gate directly.

Xiao learned about the specific situation and knew that the standard for entering the inner gate was to reach the early stage of the Saint level. Some outstanding disciples of the late stage of the Venerable level could make exceptions and enter the inner gate, such as himself. After reaching the late stage of the Saint level, if they were not favored by the elders, they would enter the Deacon Hall as a deacon, and they would become elders after breaking through to the King level. When he learned that the disciples were divided into three levels and that he needed to start from the third-level disciple and climb up, he smelled the smell of trouble.

To be honest, if it was not necessary, he did not want to face such a sinister human heart, and finally he tactfully rejected the deacon. The deacon expressed his regret and said that if he changed his mind, he could come to him.

The day before the Dragon Bone Abyss was opened, Xiao couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he opened the kitchen door and heard the sound of flapping wings.

"Xiao? Why are you here?" Ci Feng, whose face and arms were covered with flour, was a little surprised to see the person coming.

"Can I come in?" Xiao's eyes swept across the kitchen and found Juan Yu lying on the table next to the door, with only numbness in his eyes.

"If you want to come in, come in, just don't knock over my things." Ci Feng lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.

"What are you doing?" Xiao walked in, and there was a faint burnt smell in the air.

"Didn't I tell you that I have a friend here? I can't go empty-handed when visiting a friend. I plan to cook some food for him. Haha, after a few days of hard work, I finally found the trick!" Ci Feng answered without even raising his head.

"Cooking?" Xiao looked at the ingredients in the kitchen. There were eggs, vermicelli, chili peppers, small fish that were still alive and kicking, and... um...

"What is this basin of milky white lumps?" Xiao asked.

"Which one?" Ci Feng took a quick look and said, "That one is my special frozen tofu. It can be stored for a long time."

"?" Xiao's eyes fell on a pot of purple-green stuff again. This big lump of stuff looked a bit like loose chicken shit.

Xiao frowned, feeling that Ci Feng didn't seem to be cooking normally, and silently mourned for the friend he mentioned for a second.

After a night, Xiao went to the square to wait for the opening of the Dragon Bone Abyss, while Cifeng took the breakfast he had worked hard to prepare all night to find the friend he mentioned.
