Chapter 275 The Scapegoat

Everyone looked at Feng Tianning and Patriarch Bodhi, who were standing still, with curiosity on their faces.

Feng Tianning raised his eyebrows:

"What's the meaning?"

Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and his eyes fell on Zhang Lanye who was not far away.

"Nuwa Goddess, that child and I are destined to be together."

Feng Tianning was even more confused and asked doubtfully:

"Since he and you are destined to be together, why don't you just go find him? Why are you looking for me?"

Patriarch Bodhi was choked by Feng Tianning's words, and said with a light cough:

"My identity doesn't allow me to speak to him in person, so I have to trouble you to protect him."

Feng Tianning's eyes became a little colder.

Zhang Lan was also her friend, so of course she would protect him, without Bodhi Patriarch telling her, but...

Feng Tianning narrowed his eyes, and a malicious smile appeared on his face.

"You know, I'm not a professional bodyguard. I have no obligation to help you protect him."

Feng Tianning knew that since a god like Bodhi Patriarch, who was detached from worldly affairs, had come to this desolate place in person, it was likely that Zhang Lan and he really had a great opportunity.

Feng Tianning didn't mind doing a favor, but he couldn't let Patriarch Bodhi leave empty-handed.

Patriarch Bodhi was also very understanding. He laughed and stroked his beard and said:

"Don't worry, I understand the rules."

As he spoke, he produced a box from his hand and said with a smile:

"When you fell, I secretly hid this thing. Now that you have returned, it should be returned to its original owner."

Feng Tianning blinked and looked at the huge box in front of him with some surprise.

"Are you bringing all the elixirs from the Heavenly Palace here?"

Patriarch Bodhi smiled without saying a word, forcefully stuffed the box into Feng Tianning's hand, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

At the end, he did not forget to leave a sentence:

"Pangu is difficult to deal with. Goddess Nuwa, please protect me, your disciple."

Feng Tianning was holding the box in his hand in a daze. Just as he came back to his senses from the word "apprentice", he heard the shouts of everyone in Group 11.

"Tianning, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, grandma, you suddenly froze here just now, and we thought something happened to you."

"That's right. If my uncle hadn't forbidden us to go over there, we would have definitely gone straight over to rescue you."

Zhang Lan also came over and said with curiosity:

"Tianning, who were you talking to just now?"

"Why is that old man fishing gone too?"

Feng Tianning looked at Zhang Lanye with a complicated expression, chewing on the word "disciple" from Patriarch Bodhi's mouth in his heart.

As we all know, Bodhi Patriarch seldom accepts disciples, and when he does, it all depends on fate.

Except for the monkey at that time, almost all the other disciples are in Fangcun Mountain.

Could it be that Zhang Lan is one of the gods from Fangcun Mountain who came down to earth to gain experience?

On the other side, after doing all this, Patriarch Bodhi did not return to Fangcun Mountain, but went straight to the Heavenly Palace.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, Taibai Jinxing had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when he saw him, his heart slowly settled back into his stomach.

He hurried to the side of Patriarch Bodhi and said:

"Ancestor, did Goddess Nuwa accept that thing?"

"She won't be the same as before..."

Before Taibai Jinxing could finish his words, Patriarch Bodhi interrupted him with a light cough:

"Don't worry, it's all taken care of."

"Just don't ask me to do this kind of work in the future. I don't want to do something like this that offends people a second time."

Taibai Jinxing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"After all, we have offended the goddess Nuwa. Who can withstand her wrath?"

"You are the only one in the world who can have a word or two with her."

Patriarch Bodhi also patted his chest with lingering fear.

Fortunately, he ran fast just now, otherwise if Feng Tianning saw what was in the box, he might not be able to leave.

Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi was silent, Taibai Jinxing came over and whispered:

"I heard that your disciple is also with Nuwa. I think even if she is really angry, she will not bother with us for the sake of your disciple."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi snorted coldly and said:

"I didn't care when you guys were plotting to send my apprentice to the Western Paradise, but now you're plotting against me."

"When that catastrophe struck, each of you wanted to hide as far away as possible. Not even a single person could be seen. Only my foolish disciple and Goddess Nuwa took action together."

"After this was over, you guys hid all of Nuwa's magical instruments for yourselves. If Pangu hadn't appeared now, I don't think you would have been willing to take them out at all."

Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi was getting more and more excited, Taibai Jinxing hurriedly clapped his hands:

"Ancestor, there was a reason why we didn't take action at the beginning."

"If we are given a problem that even Goddess Nuwa cannot solve, wouldn't that push us into a dead end?"

"What's more, we only wanted to help Nuwa collect the magic weapon to prevent it from scattering in the human world, just to wait for today."

"Now that the property has been returned to its original owner, let's not talk about the past anymore."

Patriarch Bodhi looked at the smiling Taibai Jinxing in disbelief. After a long while, he laughed in anger and said:

"No wonder my disciple would rather go on a pilgrimage than become a horse keeper in heaven."

"Today is the last time. I will not bear these responsibilities for you anymore. You should take care of yourselves."

After saying this, Patriarch Bodhi turned away and left.

He suddenly turned around as if he remembered something and said:

"If this disaster can be overcome, I will take my foolish disciple back to Fangcun Mountain by myself. The gods in the Heavenly Palace should not think of using him to plot against him again."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the back of Bodhi Patriarch as he left, Taibai Jinxing couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't want to do this either, but for the sake of the people of the world and the Heavenly Palace, some people are destined to be sacrificed."

"If we can really get through this crisis successfully, then..."

Taibai Jinxing did not finish his words. Instead, he sighed heavily and turned to walk towards the Lingxiao Palace.

The people in Ailao Mountain didn't know what was happening in the Heavenly Palace, and they were all staring at the thing in Feng Tianning's hand.

"Aning, this is... did he give it to you?"

Feng Tianning raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Yangxi:

"Do you know who he is?"

Feng Yangxi nodded and said:

"Yeah, I noticed."

Feng Tianning didn't say anything more and opened the box directly.

A golden light suddenly shot up into the sky, blinding everyone.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden light gradually dissipated, revealing the contents of the box.
