Chapter 2656: The Enlightenment Seed’s Lies

"Your… your big brother?" The Wood Spirit exuding the Aura of the Tatian Realm was stunned.

The other Wood Spirits nearby were also stunned, each one staring wide-eyed at the Enlightenment Seed.

"Ye… yeah, he's my big brother and also my master," the Enlightenment Seed gave a dry laugh.

"Th… this is impossible! An Enlightenment Seed formed from the essence of the Law of Dao actually has a master?!"

"No way, it's fake. This must be fake!"

"Exactly, it must be… I've got it! It must be that outsider. He used despicable means to control the Enlightenment Seed. It has to be!"

"Right, right, it must be so. Otherwise, how could a noble Enlightenment Seed be willing to acknowledge a master?"

"…"

Xiao Fan: "…"

Enlightenment Seed: "…"

Listening to the bold speculations and suspicions of the Wood Spirits, Xiao Fan's face twitched. What had he even done?

How did he suddenly become a despicable, shameless, and vile person?

The Enlightenment Seed was obtained from the star chart and had been doing quite well following him. The ancient artifacts Xiao Fan obtained early on were all refined by the Enlightenment Seed.

How was it that in the mouths of these Wood Spirits, he had become a despicable person?

Someone who had deceived the Enlightenment Seed!

"Everyone, don't… don't misunderstand. It's not what you think. He really is my big brother!" The Enlightenment Seed was also dazed, unable to figure out what was going on.

"Enlightenment Seed, do not be afraid. This is the territory of us Wood Spirits. This outsider cannot act wildly here. If you have any grievances, speak them boldly!" The Tatian Realm Wood Spirit took a step forward, a terrifying wood-attribute power pressing down on Xiao Fan.

Because they were in the Green Forest Source Realm, the wood-attribute Power of Laws he released was boosted several times over!

"Sigh…" Xiao Fan sighed. If things really didn't work out, he would just have to take the Enlightenment Seed and force his way out.

He could feel that these Wood Spirits seemed to hate him even more now!

Their gazes were as sharp as knives, as if they wanted to hack him into a thousand pieces.

"Um… you've really misunderstood. He's my big brother. If it weren't for him, I'd still be in a deep slumber… Don't do anything reckless!" the Enlightenment Seed said in a panic.

The Enlightenment Seed knew better than anyone what the relationship between it and Xiao Fan was.

When it first developed sentience and met Xiao Fan, what Realm was he at back then?

He was just a small Disciple who had just joined the Jixian Sect. What ability did he have to control it?

Moreover, the Enlightenment Seed had undergone its Awakening within the star chart. Before its Awakening, it had been in a deep sleep, existing within a dream world every day…

It was Xiao Fan's appearance that had woken it up!

"Enlightenment Seed, explain yourself clearly!" the Wood Spirit exuding the Tatian Realm Aura said in a low voice.

These Wood Spirits all possessed the Innate Divine Ability to perceive thoughts; especially regarding their own kind, they could better sense each other's intentions.

At this moment, the thoughts being emitted by the Enlightenment Seed were not lies…

Furthermore, there were no abnormal Aura fluctuations from the Enlightenment Seed, proving it wasn't being controlled.

"I… I was injured and fell into a deep sleep, and then I was saved by big brother!" The Enlightenment Seed thought for a moment and spoke.

Due to a binding agreement, it couldn't reveal any information about the star chart, so it could only make up a lie on the spot.

"You're… talking nonsense! Your Aura fluctuations are erratic. You're lying! What is really going on?!" the Tatian Realm Wood Spirit shouted angrily.

Nearby, the other Wood Spirits were aggressive, staring at Xiao Fan with unfriendly expressions, looking as if they were ready to suppress him at any moment!

Xiao Fan: "…"

Xiao Fan was completely dazed. He felt that letting the Enlightenment Seed out was a mistake; not only had the situation not been resolved, but it had now become even more troublesome.

"Um… he really is my big brother, he really has no ill intent towards me!" the Enlightenment Seed said with great distress. "Can you all just not interfere, okay?"

The Enlightenment Seed was so aggrieved it felt like crying.

It was only telling the truth, yet none of these Wood Spirits believed it!

Hearing this, the crowd of Wood Spirits looked at each other, their faces looking very grim.

For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

"Believe me… I have my own reasons that I can't tell you, but he really is my big brother, and he's very good to me!" the Enlightenment Seed hurriedly added.

"This… alright then." The Tatian Realm Wood Spirit nodded; he could sense that the Enlightenment Seed hadn't been lying just now.

Everyone has secrets, and for an Enlightenment Seed formed from the essence of the Law of Dao, having secrets was quite normal!

"However… why did this outsider come to our Green Forest Source Realm to seize the senluo wood essence? Why?" At this moment, the Wood Spirit with the Tatian Realm Aura stared at Xiao Fan and spoke coldly.
