Chapter 148 The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi
With a heavy heart, Chang Hao looked up and saw Kunlun Mountain in front of him. He felt a pang of shame as he recalled how he had left Kunlun Mountain without thinking, sweating profusely and filled with fear.
"I left Kunlun in a hurry the other day without saying goodbye to you in person, I wonder if you have taken offense." Chang Hao recalled that he had even used Duobao a little to sneak away from Kunlun.
I need to apologize to Duobao later, and of course remind him not to reveal the whereabouts of his master and senior brother next time.
Even towards him.
“How could that be?” Yuanshi laughed. “My elder brother told me to comfort you properly. Here, I’m giving you the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to calm your nerves. I wish you all the best in the future.”
Yuanshi handed the jade ruyi containing his benevolent corpse to Chang Hao. If Chang Hao accepted it, he could transform into a benevolent corpse at any time.
“I cannot accept it,” Chang Hao said, pushing the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi back. “The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi is a token of your brotherhood. It is a treasure for proving the Dao and is not an ordinary item. How can you give it away to outsiders so easily? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to your brotherhood?”
Yuanshi was truly deeply in love; even before they were anything, he wanted to give him the jade ruyi.
Chang Hao felt that if he wanted to, he could completely swindle Yuan Shi, leaving him penniless and likely owing huge debts.
Chang Hao was secretly worried. It wasn't that he was heartless and unreasonable, but rather that he had too much psychological trauma.
“You are not an outsider, but someone in my heart. It is because the jade ruyi represents the three of us brothers that I am giving it to you.” Yuanshi once again took the opportunity to express his feelings.
"The jade ruyi is my heartfelt wish; may it accompany you forever." Accepting the jade ruyi means accepting Yuan Shi; let's see how Chang Hao will deny it in the future.
Although Chang Hao was unaware that the jade ruyi contained the benevolent corpse of Yuanshi, he instinctively felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly waved his hands and retreated, saying, "No matter how sweet your words are, I still cannot agree. I dare not accept undeserved rewards."
Yuanshi wished he had the talent for eloquent speech. "This mere jade ruyi is nothing compared to you. I remember when we first met, you gave me a precious mirror, but I have never given you a gift in return. This jade ruyi is my way of returning the favor."
"When I gave you the Haotian Mirror, it was because I had ill intentions and wanted to shift the blame. Let's not talk about returning the gift anymore. How can I accept your return gift if I have ulterior motives?"
Chang Hao directly confessed his past ill intentions. If this could make Yuan Shi give up his idea, he would be more than happy to do so.
“So that’s how it is,” Yuanshi suddenly realized, and then smiled. “If that’s the case, then it’s destined that you and I are connected. The word ‘connection’ is wonderful and ineffable. Your whereabouts are a mystery and cannot be predicted. It is thanks to its help that I can be by your side at any time.”
Every time Yuanshi asked someone to divine the fate of those around Chang Hao, and the divination failed, the Haotian Mirror became Yuanshi's last resort.
Chang Hao was dumbfounded. Without thinking, he tried to snatch the Haotian Mirror and seal it. He had to seal it.
He was wondering why Yuanshi could always find him so accurately.
Yuanshi had been on guard against Chang Hao trying to steal the mirror, so he easily dodged it, saying, "Since it has already been given away, there is no reason to ask for it back."
Chang Hao felt a surge of resentment. He had brought this upon himself. 'Haotian' was indeed his calamity. He wished he could pull the person back and skin him alive.
In order to protect the Haotian Mirror, Yuanshi wisely changed the subject, saying, "I know Changhao is not your real name. Since you won't say, I won't ask. I hope that one day when you have no more worries, I will be the first to know your real name."
Chang Hao hadn't expected Yuanshi to be so understanding; he was far more sensible than Yuanshi himself, and for a moment, he couldn't bring himself to argue about the Haotian Mirror.
“My real name is nothing special, but it is related to my safety. One wrong move and I will lose everything. It’s not that I’m heartless to show my real name to others.”
“Since you are in so much trouble, you should accept the jade ruyi. Don’t refuse it anymore. With it protecting me, I can be free from worries.” Yuanshi didn’t miss any opportunity and insisted on giving the jade ruyi.
One insisted on giving it, while the other dared not accept it. They kept making excuses and declining. Tongtian just couldn't understand why they had to do this.
A third pair of hands suddenly appeared, "Chang Hao doesn't want it. The jade ruyi is too uncomfortable to hold. Why don't you give it to me, Second Brother?"
Tongtian looked at the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and pondered whether he could get a white lotus again, given his Qingping Sword and his elder brother's Taiyi Whisk. It would be even better if Chang Hao was willing to exchange it with him.
Tongtian has coveted Chang Hao's World-Destroying Black Lotus for a long time. The appearance of the World-Destroying Black Lotus and the aura it exudes are such a perfect match for his Immortal Execution Sword Formation.
It's a pity it belongs to Chang Hao. How could it belong to Chang Hao? It would be better if anyone else owned it than if Chang Hao owned it.
Chang Hao was overjoyed. Tongtian's arrival was just in time; Yuanshi was truly too troublesome.
Chang Hao admitted that he hadn't thought things through before. He should have stayed in Kunlun Mountain pretending to know nothing and understand nothing, dragging it out until the end of time. That would have been the best solution.
Yuanshi Tianzun snatched the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and gave it to Tongtian? What kind of logic is that? Why didn't Tongtian give him the Qingping Sword instead?
No, Tongtian didn't use the Qingping Sword to slay the corpse, so he might have just randomly sent it away.
"Hey, Second Brother, didn't you say you didn't want it?" Tongtian was practically waiting with bated breath.
"Who said that?" Yuanshi said irritably. Such a great opportunity was ruined by Tongtian. Was Tongtian his nemesis?
“Tongtian, you’ve misunderstood,” Chang Hao said, barely suppressing the smile that was creeping onto his lips. “Your second brother was just joking with me to test the strength of my will to remain unswayed by external things.”
"Then wouldn't I be completely without will?" Tongtian asked incredulously, feeling that something was amiss.
“It’s normal that you can’t hold on. This is a rare innate merit treasure.” Chang Hao patted Tongtian on the shoulder to comfort him.
"I still feel like something's not right." Tongtian pondered to himself. Aren't all tests done in secret? Just like the formation his second brother set up at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
There's no such thing as being aboveboard. Besides, judging from Tongtian's second brother's appearance, he wished he could take Chang Hao's place and put it on Chang Hao instead. Does that mean he didn't really want to give it away?
"Tongtian, why did you come down the mountain?" Chang Hao saw that things were not going well and could not let Tongtian think any further.
Tongtian, multitasking, casually said, "My eldest brother has taken on a disciple. I saw my second brother and you lingering around the foot of the mountain, so I thought I'd come and let you know. I wonder if you'd like to go and meet him."
Let's see what's holding you back; you've already arrived at the dojo and you still haven't come back.
"Big Brother has taken on a disciple?" Yuan Shi paused in his tracks. "Donghua?"
"No, it's Donghua. Do I need you to identify him?" Tongtian thought of Duobao and felt a pang of guilt. The capable junior brother he had promised to give him had fallen through.
"What's going on with the Queen Mother of the West? She coveted the first disciple at the beginning, so why hasn't she sent Donghua here yet?" Yuanshi found it unbelievable. The Queen Mother of the West was also a powerful female cultivator. At one time, she was ranked above Nuwa. She was not a useless person.
There's definitely a problem. It seems Donghua is finished, and the threat can be eliminated.
Queen Mother of the West: ...
She didn't want to either, and she was very upset, but Donghua still couldn't transform into human form, so how could she send him off...?
