Chapter 339 Each Has Their Own Plans
"Please make yourselves at home, fellow disciples." Jieyin and Zhunti smiled and politely asked Erqing to go first.
Laozi and Yuanshi did not refuse, and Laozi pulled Yuanshi ahead. Laozi was eager to find out what his master had said to Yuanshi alone.
Originally, Yuanshi didn't even glance at the outer disciples of Jin'ao Island. But now, after a private conversation with his master, Yuanshi immediately wants to vigorously reform Jin'ao Island.
"Senior brother," Zhunti said, his eyes filled with anger, "look at them, we haven't even done anything yet, and we're already on guard against them."
"Junior Brother, watch your words." Jieyin glanced at Zhunti with a warning, not even checking where they were still standing, before smilingly greeting Chang Hao, "This humble Taoist greets Your Majesty. It has been a long time. I wonder how Your Majesty is?"
"Thank you both for your concern. With you two here, how could I dare to be unwell?" Chang Hao smiled, his words concealing a dagger. He carefully examined the two saints and, seeing that they did not look radiant, he felt relieved.
Chang Hao: "I am in a hurry to see the Dao Ancestor, so please excuse me. You two may make yourselves at home. If you wish to see the Dao Ancestor, I will be happy to convey your request."
If these two were to guide Tongtian's three thousand disciples through this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, he would create a 'Buddha' and directly sideline Jieyin and Zhunti, never letting these two get away with it.
In other words, if the two saints were honest and well-behaved, Chang Hao wouldn't have bothered with the few remaining people in the West.
"No need to trouble Your Majesty, we two will take our leave now." Jieyin hurriedly pulled Zhunti away. Just now, there was something strange about this Zixiao Palace. Jieyin couldn't figure it out. The only thing he could do was to stay away and consolidate his own holy position. There was nothing else he could do.
Once they were some distance away, Zhunti said, "Senior brother, I was feeling really uneasy just now. I just couldn't figure out what the Heavenly Emperor was thinking. Do you think he still holds a grudge against us for blocking the gate?"
They shouldn't be that stingy. Di Jun and the others all survived, even though they were listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
"It's hard to say. It's not just about blocking the door. In short, we need to be more careful and absolutely cannot give the Heavenly Emperor any leverage over us." That was all Jieyin could say.
However, to persuade Jieyin to give up the tribulation of the two saints, to reshuffle the power of heaven and earth, and to seize such a great opportunity where the Heavenly Dao does not prohibit saints from intervening, Jieyin himself could not convince himself, let alone Zhunti. He could only be extremely cautious.
………………
"Hongjun, I'm coming in..." Chang Hao peeked in and saw Hongjun pursing his lips. When he saw him come in, he only calmed down a little. How angry must he be?
Although Yuanshi can be quite infuriating at times, it shouldn't be like this; he's too busy trying to please Hongjun...
But, apart from Yuanshi, there was no one else.
"What's wrong? You told me not to eavesdrop, but I still went out." Chang Hao glanced at Hongjun. "I did everything you said, and you're still not happy?"
Hongjun's lips curled slightly, but when he thought of Yuanshi's outrageous remarks, his face darkened again, as if a storm was brewing.
Chang Hao knew what was going on. Hmm, Hongjun's expression remained uncertain, indicating that he hadn't been eavesdropping.
"I won't hold it against you for secretly preventing Tongtian from finding me behind my back. I understand your good intentions and I am very sympathetic. It's my fault for being so disappointing, so it's understandable that you're angry." Chang Hao didn't dare to openly speak well of Yuanshi, but he could make Hongjun happy first.
Perhaps Hongjun will be so pleased that he won't hold it against him.
Hongjun raised his eyes and asked, "Really?"
"If you think it's fake, then I can get angry right now and show you." Chang Hao planned to prepare himself, knowing that Hongjun quite liked to see him get angry and throw a tantrum.
"No need," Hongjun said, pulling Chang Hao to sit beside him. "I can tell the difference between a genuine temper and a feigned one." How come he can't be spoiled?
“You need to learn to be spoiled. Others will always look up to you, but you will never look up to others. It’s the same with me. You can make a fuss with me all you want. A spoiled person will only make others tolerate them, and will never suffer the slightest grievance.”
If Chang Hao had a worse temper and a worse character, and acted as recklessly as Tongtian, perhaps Yuanshi wouldn't have looked down on him.
Hongjun regretted it; why hadn't he thought of this move earlier? It's not too late to use it now.
If Yuanshi is lucky enough to survive the tribulation of falling from grace during the Investiture of the Gods, this move will leave him with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Only he could be infinitely tolerant of Chang Hao. Yuan Shi's personality is stubborn, cold, and unpleasant. How many years could he tolerate Chang Hao? Hong Jun waited for them to separate due to their incompatible personalities and then cut off all contact.
Chang Hao couldn't help but chuckle. "I know how good you are to me, and I want to be good to you too. I've said it before: the kindness of giving birth is no match for the kindness of raising. You are the most important person to me, and this isn't just to flatter you."
Hongjun knew that Changhao wasn't just flattering him, which made it even harder for him to bear that Yuanshi intended to share Changhao's good fortune with him. In fact, they would become closer to each other than he was, and in the long run, his position would certainly be in jeopardy.
Chang Hao: "As for being willful, I'm not a child anymore. My personality is already set. As the saying goes, it's hard to change one's nature. So please don't make things difficult for me."
Hongjun's eyes suddenly lit up. A cub would do? It just so happens that he needed to make a real trip to the human race to prove his Dao through Chang Hao. He had secretly dug a pit for Yuanshi. Now, he could take this opportunity to spoil Chang Hao.
"Hongjun, what do you want to do?" Heavenly Dao, who clearly had no heart, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"It's none of your business." Hongjun felt that his unintentional actions had unexpectedly led to this unexpected benefit, but Chang Hao's words had reminded him.
If Chang Hao were a cub, he could spoil him rotten in no time. He only needed a few years of childhood to let Chang Hao go astray, and then restore his memories...
Unbeknownst to them, Chang Hao's temperament will inevitably be affected, and Hongjun can expect to see him become arrogant, spoiled, willful, and self-centered.
He, a Chaos Demon God who survived, made those Chaos Demon Gods realize that the child he raised was virtuous, wise, and of noble character, and they would probably laugh at him to death.
"I don't want to interfere, but I'm perfectly fine, Heavenly Emperor, so don't do anything rash!" The Heavenly Dao was terrified. The unknown is the most terrifying thing, because it makes one imagine the scenarios one fears most.
It can no longer sense what Hongjun is thinking, but Hongjun will definitely know if it makes a sound. It's really tough for it.
"I won't do anything reckless." Hongjun wouldn't risk Chang Hao's life; he just wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make up for the regret of raising Chang Hao carelessly in the past.
"Hongjun, what are you saying to the Heavenly Dao?" Chang Hao was looking at Hongjun when he immediately noticed the subtle change in Hongjun's expression.
"It's about your need to make a trip to the human realm." Hongjun's reluctance turned into anticipation. A mere hundred years in the mortal world would pass in the blink of an eye. He could send a wisp of his divine consciousness down first...
"Then I'll go and make some preparations, go to the mortal realm to clear my head, and maybe I'll discover the opportunity to become a saint." Chang Hao hadn't yet realized the problem.
“You don’t need to prepare,” Hongjun said with a smile. “Leave it to me.”
