Chapter 295 Taking the Blame
It was only with great difficulty that Chang Hao was finally allowed to move back to Zixiao Palace, and Hongjun would not allow anyone to disrupt it, not even his own father, the God.
"Really living in Zixiao Palace?" Di Jun was dumbfounded, and his eyes changed when he looked at Xiao Shi.
Could it be that Xiao Shi really came to Zixiao Palace last night?
Nothing major has happened, nor is it a time of great calamity. Why did the Dao Ancestor summon Xiao Shi to Zixiao Palace? Di Jun's mind was in turmoil.
“Look at my father, he still doesn’t believe me. I’ll leave him here, and you can explain it to me.” Chang Hao tugged at Hongjun’s sleeve, signaling Hongjun to lean over, and whispered in his ear, “Just leave him here for a few days to meditate and cultivate. I think my father is very restless.”
Hongjun raised his hand and flicked Chang Hao's forehead. "You've grown bolder. You're trying to use him to intimidate your father, and he's actually willing to do it."
Di Jun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his gaze was blank, who would believe that the Dao Ancestor was so gentle and affectionate?
Di Jun wanted to say that it wasn't that he wanted to cause trouble, but that he was just paranoid and that he was acting out of fatherly love. Unfortunately, he couldn't say this to Dao Zu.
"Father, with the Dao Ancestor as your witness, you should believe me now, right?" Chang Hao raised his chin and looked at Di Jun with a mocking expression, believing that once Hongjun finished speaking, the annoying Di Jun would disappear.
Honestly, what's the point of Emperor Jun clinging to his mother every day if he doesn't bother her? If Emperor Jun could please his mother, she might look at him with more respect.
A bolt from the blue!!! Di Jun would rather believe that Xiao Shi had gone to meet with Yuanshi Tianzun last night than believe that Xiao Shi had come to Zixiao Palace to rest last night. It's no wonder he didn't believe it!!!
Chang Hao said mischievously, "My father is causing trouble everywhere. He hasn't finished his important business for today. In case I can't come to Zixiao Palace tonight to keep you company, I have to go back now."
“Okay, hurry back, I’m waiting for you to play chess with me,” Hongjun glanced at Dijun, “Your father will stay here for now, I’ll talk to him.”
Di Jun's lips trembled. His son's move was too ruthless. He summoned the Dao Ancestor to talk to him. How could he talk? He would only be able to kneel and listen.
Chang Hao nodded. "Father, have a good talk with the Dao Ancestor. I'll come and take you back after I finish dealing with the memorials on my desk."
Chang Hao left Di Jun in Zixiao Palace with peace of mind, but Di Jun was worried about himself. He was defying the heavens and standing face to face with the Dao Ancestor, the representative of the Heavenly Dao, which put him under a lot of pressure.
As soon as Chang Hao left, Wen Qing Hongjun immediately lost his previous calm demeanor, his indifferent silver eyes revealing his displeasure with Di Jun, "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Di Jun wouldn't dare." What did that come from? Di Jun felt utterly wronged.
"Is there a problem with Chang Hao staying at Zixiao Palace?" Although Hongjun seemed to be asking for Dijun's opinion, he was actually informing Dijun.
“Xiao Shi is spoiled and pampered. He has people serving him every time he sits, lies down, or walks. I’m afraid he won’t be used to living in Zixiao Palace.” Di Jun’s love for his son overcame his fear of the Dao Ancestor, and he spoke the truth.
Living in Zixiao Palace must be incredibly stressful. He looked at the empty hall, which exuded a sense of loneliness and coldness, clearly not the kind of place Xiao Shi would like.
Hongjun paused. He didn't have anyone to serve him, but as for lodging...
Di Jun suddenly realized that he had been moved to a different place. Whose bedroom was this? It was filled with precious light. The best bedroom he had ever seen was his tenth son's bedroom. This kid really knew how to enjoy himself.
"How is he able to stay?" Hongjun's voice seemed to be everywhere.
Di Jun immediately realized that this was Xiao Shi's residence in Zixiao Palace!
Di Jun's eyes widened. He thought, "Even the Dao Ancestor didn't live like this, yet he arranged it for his tenth son..."
After the incident with Yuanshi Tianzun, Dijun successfully misunderstood...
Hongjun only showed it to Dijun once; it was Chang Hao's private space. Hongjun was very stingy and immediately summoned Dijun back to the main hall.
Di Jun noticed something odd about Hong Jun's gaze. 'Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or thievery' perfectly described Di Jun's current feelings.
Hongjun frowned slightly. What kind of look was that from Dijun? Did he want to compete with him?
"Is there a problem with staying at Zixiao Palace?" Hongjun asked again.
Di Jun's eyes darted around. The biggest problem was that there was no problem. Would his son be two-timing?
"Zixiao Palace is his home. Don't use your status to obstruct Chang Hao," Hongjun commanded directly.
“Although you are his father, he was raised by me,” Hongjun declared, asserting his sovereignty.
Di Jun's eyes flickered; he was about to die...
………………
Chang Hao slipped back to Taiwei Palace, glanced at the memorials on Di Jun's desk, and pretended not to see them. Taking advantage of Di Jun's absence, he quickly cleared the memorials from the desk.
"Your Majesty, Kunpeng requests an audience."
"Announce." Chang Hao wrote with lightning speed. He was relieved to have some peace and quiet without Di Jun causing trouble.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Demon Emperor has returned..." Kunpeng secretly glanced at Chang Hao's expression.
"What are the demons up to?" Chang Hao didn't even look up. It was expected that the demons, who were planning to overthrow the established order, would target Di Jun at this critical juncture.
Just then, Di Jun annoyed him, so Chang Hao ruthlessly sent him to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao again.
"Your Majesty is wise," Kunpeng straightened up, feeling a bit embarrassed. He had thought he had discovered something of great importance. "I just wonder what Your Majesty's plans are? I hope you will be aware of them so as not to ruin Your Majesty's important plans."
"Oh? What are your thoughts?" Chang Hao felt that Kunpeng looked a bit like a treacherous minister today.
"Your Majesty is tolerant and benevolent, and has shown great favor to the great demons of the primordial world by considering the overall situation. However, I fear that the traitors harbor resentment, especially since His Majesty the Demon Emperor has returned. I am afraid that they may be plotting a rebellion."
Chang Hao nodded, his eyes fixed intently on Kunpeng, hoping to hear what he wanted to hear from him. "What you say is indeed true. I am also troubled by this. I wonder what your opinion is?"
"Your Majesty witnessed the rebellion of the Lion Clan firsthand. How can you know whether the so-called carefree demons on various mountains who refuse to obey the Heavenly Court's orders are truly carefree or harboring a conspiracy?" Kunpeng was genuinely worried; he had achieved his current status with great difficulty.
The way those powerful demons who still refused to obey made his spine tingle as they stared at Kunpeng.
"Yes, you are right." Chang Hao encouraged Kunpeng to continue.
Kunpeng was greatly encouraged and spoke his mind: "Your Majesty has no intention of harming the great demons. He intends to let them go and help them become immortals and attain enlightenment. However, some great demons hidden in the primordial mountains have unpredictable thoughts. It is unreasonable to let them return to the mountains. Raising tigers will only lead to endless troubles in the future."
Kunpeng hopes that His Majesty will execute all those who stubbornly refuse to submit.
“Hmm,” Chang Hao nodded, then suddenly said, “Then I’ll leave it all to you.”
Chang Hao was a 'benevolent' ruler, how could he be so bloodthirsty?
Kunpeng's words were exactly what he wanted to hear, and Chang Hao was very pleased. He waited and waited, and finally, just when his patience was about to run out, Kunpeng appeared.
Whose intention was this? The answer is: Kunpeng.
Huh?! Kunpeng was stunned. Him?! Him!!!
