Chapter 406 has grand ambitions.
Chang Hao was reluctant to touch the furnishings in the Qiankun Palace, but he didn't care about the things outside the Qiankun Palace.
He was so short of materials to set up the grand formation that he almost dug up the entire palace, hoping to discover more valuable items that he had overlooked due to his lack of knowledge.
"I'm trying to please you, can't you tell?" Yuan Shi thought that he was being so blatant, how could Chang Hao, who was always a smart man, not see through him?
"I see, but I didn't think you were doing this for the sake of the Tongtian Sect Leader." Chang Hao became more and more hesitant as he spoke. Could it be that the Primordial Celestial Venerable was simply trying to please him? But is that right?
"He doesn't deserve it?" Yuanshi sneered. "Let him rot in there. If Tongtian appeared in front of me now, he would at least be taken back from me with a body full of 'thousands of holes'."
Yuanshi even considered suggesting that Changhao not let Tongtian be too comfortable, but ultimately, considering his image in Changhao's eyes, he didn't speak too harshly.
"You wicked second brother! I knew you were a coward! You'd rather die than help me. Are we even brothers anymore?" Tongtian was so angry at Yuanshi Tianzun's words that he jumped up and down.
"Does your elder brother know about what you're doing? Chang..." Tongtian was speechless. Who was he trying to say? He couldn't remember.
Unfortunately, sound can easily come in from outside, even amplified, but not a single inch of his voice can get out.
"If the Tongtian Sect Leader hears what you just said, will you be alright?" Chang Hao twirled the jade flute in his hand, glancing subtly at the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was invisible within the formation.
He didn't mean to sow discord between the two brothers, but little did he know that Yuanshi Tianzun's feelings for Tongtian Jiaozhu were not those of a brother, but rather a deep-seated resentment. He had misjudged him.
“It’s alright, he heard it, so he heard it,” Yuanshi was impatient to waste his rare time alone on talking about the heavens. “I’m too lazy to listen to every stupid thing he did. He brought it on himself, and no one else is to blame.”
Tongtian dared to force Chang Hao to become his disciple that day, and everything he is suffering now is his retribution.
Since the Celestial Lord of the Beginning didn't take it to heart, Chang Hao pretended nothing had happened. As for the sowing of discord, he hadn't done anything, and it was all just a coincidence.
"Since you're not here to redeem the Tongtian Sect Master, what's your motive for offering me so many spiritual treasures for no reason?" Chang Hao raised an eyebrow, wanting to see what the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had to say.
"I had no ulterior motives, I just wanted to make you happy." Yuan Shi wished that Chang Hao wasn't under his master's spells right now, even if it was just a pat on the head. Holding hands would be better than them facing each other, yet being three feet apart.
"To please me..." Chang Hao smiled and said, "He spends his treasures for me like dirt; if he had no ulterior motives, I wouldn't believe it."
“Those who are said to have no ulterior motives are actually quite the opposite; their ambitions are bound to be enormous,” Chang Hao said, looking directly at Yuanshi Tianzun. “Does Tianzun agree with what I have said?”
Yuanshi was speechless. In all honesty, he had given the treasures because he genuinely wanted Chang Hao to have them, and he had no other intentions. But when he thought about his intentions, he realized that what Chang Hao said was indeed true. Explaining it was wrong, but not explaining it was also wrong.
"Heavenly Venerable, there's no need to be troubled. I was just talking nonsense. Heavenly Venerable, please don't take it to heart. I believe in your pure and flawless heart." Chang Hao was speechless. He tried to tug at the sleeve of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable through the long sleeve, but the Primordial Heavenly Venerable dodged him. How could he possibly be after him?
"But the Heavenly Venerable has sent me such a precious treasure out of the blue. I have no way to repay him. What should I do?" Chang Hao pretended to be troubled.
“You don’t need to be troubled. Treasures have a price, but feelings are priceless. My feelings cannot be measured by value.” Yuanshi used various methods to express his feelings.
Tongtian, hearing the sounds coming from the outside world, was so angry that his head was practically steaming. "You, Second Brother! Your younger brother is in prison, and you not only refuse to help him, but you're also secretly confessing your love for Di Xin. Fine, you're very good. If you get the chance, we'll see how you make things difficult for your Second Brother."
"Does the Primordial Celestial Venerable know what he's saying?" Chang Hao raised an eyebrow, his surprise coming too suddenly.
He had expressed his love for Yuanshi Tianzun openly and secretly many times, but Yuanshi Tianzun had always managed to deflect it without leaving a trace.
When Chang Hao thought it was all his imagination, Yuanshi Tianzun then directly expressed his love, leaving him completely confused.
“Of course,” Yuanshi replied frankly.
“Very well, I accept. Let’s return to the palace together.” Chang Hao said readily.
"The time is not right, I cannot accept you for now." Yuan Shi was very depressed.
"Why?" Chang Hao narrowed his eyes dangerously. Was Yuanshi Tianzun looking for a beating?
"If you still remain true to your original intention after the Investiture of the Gods is completed, I am willing to follow you." Yuanshi had concerns. Although Chang Hao's words and actions were all in accordance with his true heart, he would inevitably fall into a dilemma again after Chang Hao's memories returned.
How could he bear to put Chang Hao in a dilemma, nor could he bear to take advantage of someone's misfortune?
Chang Hao seemed to be deep in thought. Since Yuanshi Tianzun was so considerate of him, he might as well make an exception for Tongtian Jiaozhu.
"Would you like to see the Tongtian Sect Leader?" Chang Hao had a rare moment of conscience and wanted to show favoritism by letting Yuanshi Tianzun see his younger brother. Yuanshi Tianzun had a sharp tongue but a soft heart; he might say harsh words, but he would probably feel sorry for the Tongtian Sect Leader.
"Forget it, just in case I accidentally hurt someone, I'll avoid them for now." Yuanshi looked disgusted. What was Tongtian doing? Did he think he wasn't troublesome enough?
If Chang Hao hadn't been capable enough to sever the connection between fate and master-disciple relationship with a single sword strike, things would have been far from over by now. Not to mention himself, his master would certainly not have allowed Tongtian to live.
"Shall we go back to Qiankun Palace?" Yuanshi felt his blood boil at the thought of Tongtian's humiliation. "Let me introduce you to the treasure I brought you. There is a set of array flags with unique attributes that can be combined and integrated with many arrays. Now that you have obtained the Zhuxian Sword Array, with this set of array flags, you can take advantage of its strengths and make up for its weaknesses. Even if the Four Saints come together, they will not be able to break out of the array."
Tongtian had a bad feeling when he heard Yuanshi's words. This sounded so much like the array flags that he could use to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Array.
"Second Brother, stop right there! Explain yourself! Are you hiding something from me?" Tongtian was frantic.
Unfortunately, Chang Hao, who could hear, was too lazy to even give Tongtian a glance. As for Yuanshi, who couldn't hear, he had already taken it. If he had the ability, he could take it back on his own in the future. If he didn't, he could just stay put.
Back at the Qiankun Palace, Chang Hao rested his chin on his left hand, listening intently as the Primordial Celestial Venerable beside him explained the rare and precious materials he had brought.
Chang Hao's eyes darted around, and he quietly moved closer to Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Did you remember?" Yuanshi asked as usual, but did not hear the usual answer.
"How……"
A warm sensation on my cheek, like a soft feather touching me and then leaving.
Yuan Shi was initially stunned, then his eyes lit up with joy. This was Chang Hao taking the initiative to kiss him, which was quite rare.
But after the initial surprise, Yuanshi suddenly changed color, his face turning blue and purple, his mind in turmoil. It was over; he had been tricked.
