Chapter 267 Desertion in the Face of Battle
“Yuanshi, Tongtian is now filled with remorse and has long since repented. He no longer wants to take any more cubs as disciples.” Chang Hao smiled. “From now on, all the brothers will be under Tongtian’s command. For the sake of the brothers, please don’t make things difficult for their master anymore.”
"Has Tongtian really changed his bad habits?" Yuanshi expressed doubt. He had tried to correct him for countless eons without success, and only went into seclusion for a short time. Could Tongtian have changed so easily? If it were that easy, why had he fought with Tongtian for countless years over this?
“What Chang Hao said is true,” Tongtian keenly sensed that Yuanshi’s attitude had softened and immediately assured him, “From now on, I will never bring any more cubs to Kunlun or take in any more cubs.”
"But he's taken your brothers as his disciples. What am I going to do in the future?" Yuan Shi was very frustrated. He had been on guard day and night, but in the end, he couldn't prevent it. It was a difficult situation to put it.
"Otherwise, I'll become your apprentice?" Chang Hao stood up on the jade brick.
Yuanshi was completely stunned. What was all this about?
Chang Hao gave Tongtian a wink, and Tongtian immediately made a run for it. Now was the perfect time to leave, and Tongtian felt perfectly at ease leaving his second brother to Chang Hao to deal with.
"Is it good?" Chang Hao took two steps forward, hugged Yuan Shi, rested his head on Yuan Shi's chest, and suddenly grinned mischievously, "Master..."
a bolt from the blue! ! !
Yuanshi took a few steps back and sat directly on the couch, saying with lingering fear, "Don't joke around." He really couldn't take it.
"Oh?" Chang Hao casually sat down beside Yuan Shi and teased, "Didn't you once wholeheartedly want to take me as your disciple? At first, didn't you see me as a potential disciple? It makes no difference, Master..."
Yuan Shi felt something was wrong, but didn't know how to refute it.
"If you really accept me as your disciple, what should we do now?" Chang Hao sat on Yuan Shi's lap, asking one question after another, until Yuan Shi began to feel fortunate that Heaven was still looking out for him.
“You should admit one fact: Dijun is my father, and I am just a junior,” Chang Hao glanced at Yuanshi, “Master…”
Unable to bear it any longer, Yuanshi directly shut Chang Hao's mouth, which was shouting incoherently, and then laughed in anger, "What can you do? That's how it is."
"Oh no," Chang Hao, who had brought trouble upon himself, stood up obediently. "I should go check on my brothers. Your outburst just now must have scared them."
"Too late," Yuan Shi pulled Chang Hao back and scooped him up in his arms. "Are you still going to shout?"
"No, thank you." Chang Hao had already become honest. "I won't do it again." He begged to be let go.
Yuanshi looked at the mess that Tongtian had made of the bed, and remembering how Tongtian looked as if he had rolled in ashes just now, he couldn't put Chang Hao down from his hand.
"It's too dirty here, I'll carry you to the Jade Void Palace." Yuanshi turned and left, and the bed behind him instantly turned to ashes.
"Wait, wait, put me down," Chang Hao hurriedly stopped Yuan Shi. "I have legs, I can walk by myself."
It's one thing if it's inside the library, and no one can see the special formation in Merlin, but it's a different story once you leave Merlin.
Yuanshi had no choice but to comply with Chang Hao's wishes and put him on the ground. He felt very sorry for him, as the distance from Meilin to Yuxu Palace was not short. If they walked slowly, he could have held Chang Hao in his arms for most of the day.
When will Chang Hao finally give in? He has been waiting for this for a long time.
Chang Hao immediately transformed into his Golden Crow form upon landing and ran out of the Scripture Pavilion. He was terrified; it was safer in this form.
Yuan Shi, feeling helpless, leisurely followed behind Chang Hao. What could he do to make Chang Hao feel more at ease? He even reflected on whether he had gone too far.
"You've just come out of seclusion, you need to gather your disciples, you can't just keep following me around doing nothing." Chang Hao turned around and shooed him away.
"Yuxu Palace is also in this direction, so we can travel together for a while." Yuanshi thought about the things he had instructed Huanglong before going into seclusion. Indeed, he should gather his disciples to check on the results of this period of time, and most importantly, ask Huanglong about the results. He wanted to give Chang Hao a surprise.
As soon as he stepped out of the plum grove, he was greeted by ruins everywhere. Chang Hao scanned the area with his divine sense and thankfully, the Eight Views Palace and the Jade Void Palace were still there. After looking at where his nine older brothers were, he was both amused and exasperated.
After only a short while of shock, he was back to his energetic self, wandering around the ruins.
"Duobao, what's wrong?" Chang Hao immediately approached Duobao, who was overseeing the overall situation.
Duobao turned around and looked down. His pupils contracted, and his lips trembled. "You...you..." He looks so much like the Mountain Lord. Could he be the Mountain Lord's...? I've never heard that the Mountain Lord has found a Daoist partner...
Chang Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "Duobao, it's me."
"Mountain, Mountain Lord!!!" Duobao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "What happened to you?"
"Don't you think it's pretty fun?" Chang Hao avoided the main point.
Duobao didn't think it at all. If he was like this, he must have suffered a lot of injuries. "Are you... are you alright now?"
"It's alright, I am now the Tenth Prince." Chang Hao unfolded his small fan and smiled faintly.
What Tenth Prince? Isn't he the Heavenly Emperor? Duobao's brain raced. Tenth Prince, nine junior brothers... the Demon Emperor's ten little golden crows... Master got beaten up, what else is unclear?
Duobao twitched his lips. "Master, you really didn't get a beating for nothing."
"Mountain……"
"Wait, just call me the Tenth Prince," Chang Hao blinked. "They don't know that."
"Tenth Prince," what could Duobao do? No matter what tricks the Mountain Lord was playing, he could only go along with it and not expose him. "This place is currently in a state of chaos. Please, Tenth Prince, move to the Eight Views Palace."
“Alright,” Chang Hao glanced at the ruins, then closed his fan, hiding his nine brothers in his sleeve. “I’ll take them with me, so they won’t cause you any trouble.”
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mountain Lord and Prince Xiao Shi." Duo Bao sighed, "It's the Mountain Lord who truly cares for his subordinates and has taken away the source of all the trouble."
As soon as Chang Hao left, Yuan Shi appeared at the ruins of Biyou Palace. Duo Bao was a little stunned. Why did he feel that his second senior uncle was following the mountain lord?
Yuanshi glanced at Biyou Palace, then at Duobao, who looked somewhat bitter, and waved his hand, turning the ruins into nothingness. "Go ask your master for a new Biyou Palace." He wouldn't help Tongtian build a palace.
"Yes, thank you very much, Second Uncle." This was the first time Duobao had felt that his Second Uncle was so considerate.
Yuanshi followed Changhao closely until he saw the gate of Yuxu Palace. He had no choice but to enter Yuxu Palace, not wanting Changhao to think that he was not doing anything important.
As the bells of Jade Void Palace rang, the Twelve Golden Immortals and Antarctic Immortal immediately pulled Yun Zhongzi toward Jade Void Palace.
Huang Long was sweating profusely. Several times along the way, he tried to take the side road, but Guang Chengzi pulled him back each time.
"Second Junior Brother, snap out of it," Guang Chengzi said sternly. "I know you're afraid of Master, but when Master summons you, as a disciple you cannot refuse to see him. Deserting in the face of danger is treason. Could it be that you're feeling guilty, Second Junior Brother?"
Huang Long was desperate. "Senior Brother, I'm not trying to escape." He was trying to find a powerful backer.
"That's good, Second Brother, let's go." Guang Chengzi grabbed Huang Long's arm. This guy couldn't run away, otherwise, he would be implicated.
