Chapter 331 The Fallen Saint Pill
"Is Nezha willing?" Yuanshi didn't think Nezha was willing to leave the Heavenly Court and Changhao.
“I am willing,” Taiyi immediately understood his master’s meaning. “I get along very well with Nezha and we have already developed a tacit understanding.”
Taiyi thought that he had deliberately planned to get Nezha to take the bait and become his disciple, but he didn't know that Lingzhu had actually hooked Taiyi instead, and Taiyi was still gloating.
"In that case, choose an auspicious day, and you shall take Nezha under your wing. Remember what you said, you will teach Nezha well." Yuanshi raised his hand, letting Taiyi pass the test.
"Master..." Yu Ding could not hide his anxiety. "In this life, I only want to take on this one disciple. I will do my best to teach him to become a useful person." Taiyi has passed the test of his master, but he has not yet.
"If you were to see Yang Jian, you would surely be delighted," Yu Ding pleaded on Yang Jian's behalf.
"Go kneel outside the hall..." Yuan Shi glanced at the peace knot at his waist, "You can enter the hall when you've figured things out."
Yu Ding dared to take Yang Jian in because of his master's influence. It's not that Yang Jian couldn't be taken in, but what would happen afterward?
All the commotion Yang Jian causes will be seen as a provocation against his master, bringing him no benefit whatsoever. If Yu Ding wants to take Yang Jian as his disciple, then let him see Yu Ding's resolve.
When Nuwa arrived, she saw Yu Ding kneeling upright in the sword-training field outside Yuxu Palace, and Yang Jian, who was young but had already achieved some success in cultivation, kneeling behind Yu Ding.
"Nuwa greets Second Senior Brother." Nuwa concealed her gossipy nature; today, she was only after the red embroidered ball.
"Fuxi greets Second Uncle." Fuxi's face was solemn, and his eyes were filled with bitterness as he thought about getting the red embroidered ball back from Yuanshi for his sister.
"Rise. What brings you here?" Apart from the throne that Yuanshi himself sat on, there was no other place to sit in the main hall of Yuxu Palace, nor was there any need for a seat. Yuxu Palace was empty, which was just right for his group of good-for-nothing disciples to kneel down and not get in the way.
Even though he knew Nuwa would come, Yuanshi didn't have the boy arrange seats in the main hall, making his unwelcome intentions clear.
Nuwa glared at Fuxi, who smiled wryly and had no choice but to step forward. "Reporting to Second Uncle, I have come here to apologize on behalf of my sister. Nuwa has always been audacious and reckless. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
"How dare I blame the Sage Nuwa? She is the mother of humanity, and my elder brother is the leader of the Human Religion. How could we not give face to Goddess Nuwa?" Yuanshi didn't feel there was anything to apologize for, since he hadn't suffered any loss.
Yuanshi glanced down at Nuwa. Besides, Nuwa wasn't standing there properly. If he really felt that she needed to apologize, wouldn't Nuwa say it herself?
Nuwa felt a surge of frustration. She understood Yuanshi's look, but Nuwa had no intention of yielding to him. Her dislike escalated into disgust.
"Say what you want to do, I don't have time to entertain you." Yuanshi's patience was limited, and he wouldn't wait any longer.
"That day, I inadvertently spoke carelessly, causing Nuwa to lose the Red Embroidered Ball. I beg my uncle to return the Red Embroidered Ball for my sake. I am willing to offer the Human Emperor Sword in exchange for the Red Embroidered Ball." Fuxi had no choice but to speak very frankly.
If you encounter someone like Yuanshi, trying to reason with him will only get you kicked out.
"The Human Emperor Sword is a sacred artifact of the human race, capable of suppressing the human race's fortune. How dare I accept it?" Yuan Shi didn't even raise his eyes. The Human Emperor Sword was like a chicken rib to him—tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.
The red embroidered ball was different. Even though Yuanshi had never realized its wonderful use, just by looking at the disgusted expression on Nuwa's face every time she held the red embroidered ball, you could tell that it was very useful.
"This disciple has nothing of value, please be merciful, Second Uncle." Fuxi presented the Human Emperor Sword with both hands and respectfully handed it to Cihang, who was serving him.
Cihang looked up at Yuanshi, wondering whether to accept or not.
Yuanshi raised his chin slightly, signaling Cihang to put away the Human Emperor Sword. Now that the human race is favored by the heavens and earth, if the Human Emperor Sword is in his possession, will the heavens and earth favor him even more?
Cihang understood and took the Emperor's Sword to place it.
Seeing that the younger generation had all left, leaving only the three of them in the hall, Nuwa stared intently at Yuanshi and directly asked, "Second Senior Brother, my red embroidered ball?"
Now that the sword is sheathed, shouldn't her red embroidered ball be returned?
"Red Embroidered Ball? What does your Red Embroidered Ball have to do with you? Isn't this sword an apology from Fuxi to you?" Yuanshi never said that he was willing to return the Red Embroidered Ball just because he had accepted the Emperor's Sword.
"You cheated..." Nuwa hadn't expected that even the Primordial Lord of Heaven had learned to be cunning.
"How can the Human Emperor's Sword be compared to the Red Embroidered Ball?" Yuan Shi said without changing his expression. In short, he could have the Red Embroidered Ball, but the offer was not enough.
"Then, which is more important, your life, Yuanshi Tianzun, or the red embroidered ball?" Nuwa laughed angrily.
“Sister… think of the red embroidered ball…” Fuxi hurriedly stopped Nuwa. No wonder his sister insisted on bringing him along; she was so wise.
Nuwa's face turned ashen, but she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
"What do you mean by that?" Yuanshi narrowed his eyes. Although Nuwa had countless evil deeds, she never spoke falsehoods.
Nuwa suddenly burst into laughter, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at Yuanshi.
"What are you laughing at?" Yuanshi asked coldly. What was so funny?
"I laugh at your audacity. You're about to die and you still don't know it. If you want to achieve enlightenment in this life, you'll have to wait for Chang Hao's next life." Nuwa wasn't intimidated by Yuanshi's chilling expression.
"Shut up..." Yuanshi was so angry that he crushed a corner of the throne with one palm.
"Sister, you are a sage, you must not speak nonsense." Fuxi broke out in a cold sweat. If his sister continued to talk nonsense, he would probably not be able to leave the Jade Void Palace, even if his sister was fine.
“Brother, go away,” Nuwa pushed Fuxi away. “I’m not talking nonsense. Yuanshi, give me back my red embroidered ball. I’m going to tell you something earth-shattering.”
Nuwa was smiling brightly and cheerfully, but Yuanshi sensed something was wrong, and an ominous premonition swirled in his heart. "Tell me, if what you say is true, what's wrong with returning the red embroidered ball to you?"
Yuanshi threw the red embroidered ball onto the table in front of him.
“Alright,” Nuwa smiled sweetly, “I’ll tell you, Master has a pill called the Fallen Saint Pill. Think about it, who is this pill prepared for?”
Yuan Shi's pupils contracted. If he were not a saint, his master could easily deal with him. If he were not a saint, how dare he dream of being with Chang Hao forever?
Knowing full well that as long as his master was alive, he and Chang Hao had no hope in this life, yet he still clung to a sliver of hope.
"What, are you dumbfounded? You didn't expect that even a sage could fall." Nuwa stepped forward and took the red embroidered ball from Yuanshi's table. "I'll take the red embroidered ball. I only wish that my senior brother will always be blessed by heaven."
His loss of composure lasted only a moment. Yuan Shi quickly composed himself and sneered, "Junior Sister is familiar with this matter, so she must have already consumed the Fallen Saint Pill."
He's barely gotten there yet; he hasn't even taken a bite of the Fallen Saint Pill, while Nuwa has probably already swallowed it.
