Chapter 143 Who is more important and who is less important?
Di Jun frowned; something was wrong with Chang Hao.
Chang Hao: "Where's Taiyi?"
Where is Taiyi? He puts Dijun in front of him and he keeps chattering away. It's so annoying.
"All you do is ask Taiyi, but you don't even ask why I'm here to see you." Dijun was questioning his life. Why was he so disliked by Changhao? Even if they had a grudge in the past, shouldn't they have become friends after a fight? No matter how you look at it, he was the one who suffered more back then.
"Oh, what do you want?" Chang Hao's attitude was casual, clearly a perfunctory response.
"I've come to thank you for giving Xiao Shi the cultivation technique. I heard that you created it especially for Xiao Shi, and it's very profound. You've even given me the technique, are you really not considering taking Xiao Shi as your disciple?"
Di Jun couldn't understand why Chang Hao was willing to give him the cultivation technique, which was of paramount importance. What was the difference between a master-disciple relationship and the technique itself?
Chang Hao turned around, rejecting Di Jun with his actions, "Xiao Shi, no way. I don't want to hear you talk right now. Can't you see how annoyed I am?"
The reason for offering the cultivation method is that once one practices it, it will be impossible to hide, hence the need to come openly.
"If you don't want to hear Di Jun's talk, then is Chang Hao interested in listening to me?" A female voice came from the void.
"Nuwa, when did you arrive?" Di Jun had no idea what had happened in his demon court, as Chang Hao and Nuwa had arrived one after the other.
Nuwa smiled without saying a word, her gaze fixed on Chang Hao, making it obvious who she had come for.
Di Jun glanced at Chang Hao, wondering why Nuwa had sought him out, but Chang Hao seemed out of sorts. Leaving him alone to face Nuwa in this state...
Di Jun was worried that Chang Hao would suffer a loss...
"How did Goddess Nuwa know that Chang Hao was here?" Chang Hao wanted to know who the big mouth was, since only Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi knew that he was here.
"Brother, tell me secretly that you are in the Demon Court..." Nuwa winked mysteriously at Chang Hao. Her silly brother, she just lied to him, and Fuxi believed her without batting an eye. He didn't look like a demon strategist at all.
And so, he eagerly sent her news about Chang Hao in the Demon Court.
Chang Hao realized he had miscalculated; he hadn't expected Fuxi to be such a blabbermouth.
"I came here specifically to thank you," Nuwa said, confirming that she truly came to thank Chang Hao for protecting the human race at the first opportunity.
Chang Hao: "No need for thanks. Everything I did was from the bottom of my heart, not because of Your Majesty."
"Is that really the case?" Nuwa asked with a half-smile, her expression unreadable. "I've heard some rumors, so I've come to ask you for clarification."
"If Goddess Nuwa has any questions, Chang Hao will answer them without reservation." Chang Hao gathered his scattered thoughts beside Di Jun. The visitor was clearly not here out of goodwill; those who come with good intentions do not come here out of kindness. Nuwa had clearly not come simply to express her gratitude.
Nuwa desperately suppressed her laughter: "Recently, there have been rumors among the Wu tribe that Venerable Changhao is infatuated with Nuwa. Whether it is spiritual treasures or protecting the human race, you will respond to anything Nuwa asks. That is why I came to ask you if it is true or not."
"It is Nuwa who is too foolish to see your true feelings, Chang Hao. It is my fault. I will take you back to Nuwa Palace with me, and from now on we will be of one heart every night."
Nuwa reached out as if to take Chang Hao's arm, but Chang Hao casually pulled Di Jun aside and made Di Jun stand in front of him.
The female cultivators of the primordial era were so brave that they were actually taken back to Nuwa's palace... Chang Hao was really worried about his chastity, so he asked Di Jun to block him and run away quickly if things went wrong.
Without a second thought, Di Jun stopped Nuwa, saying meaningfully, "Chang Hao is still young." He had watched Chang Hao take human form.
Nuwa's eyes flashed with deep thought. Dijun's instinctive act of reaching out to protect her didn't seem like he was at odds with Chang Hao.
"This is outrageous! Who is spreading these rumors? I will not let them get away with it!" Chang Hao, hiding behind Di Jun, was furious. His reputation had been ruined.
"Really nothing happened?" Nuwa was clearly watching Chang Hao make a fool of himself. "What a pity. Xuanming was spouting nonsense, making me believe it. He swore that these words came from the mouth of Yuanshi Tianzun and were absolutely true. Did Xuanming misunderstand or did Yuanshi misunderstand?"
"Is it really not that you, Chang Hao, are so deeply in love that you don't even realize it?" Nuwa casually twirled her hair around her chest, but in reality, she was staring intently at Chang Hao's expression.
“Chang Hao is no longer a child and can distinguish between different kinds of emotions. He once told you that he respects you as much as a sage. Nuwa, please don’t make such jokes again in the future,” Chang Hao said, both amused and exasperated. He figured that Yuanshi had said some things he shouldn’t have said on the shore of the East Sea, and Xuanming and the other two had just casually locked themselves in the Creation Cauldron without setting any special restrictions, so they had overheard some rumors.
"As for Xuanming's rumors, that is Chang Hao's private matter, and Goddess Nuwa need not worry about it."
Xuanming, is it? I didn't scare you enough last time, so you're spreading rumors everywhere.
"Oh, that's a pity. Nuwa Palace will always be open to you." Nuwa's words seemed both sincere and unreal.
"What exactly does Your Majesty intend?" Chang Hao, whose emotional world was a complete blank, was confused and had no idea what Nuwa was planning to do.
"I was just teasing you," Nuwa said, since Chang Hao's reactions always amused her for a long time. "Didn't I say I specifically thanked you for coming?"
Chang Hao doesn't need this kind of gratitude.
"Chang Hao, let me ask you," Nuwa said, secretly plotting something, "is the brotherly bond between you and Yuanshi Tianzun as that between Di Jun and Taiyi?"
"Of course, Your Highness, there's no need to ask further," Chang Hao replied without hesitation. It was obvious.
Nuwa smiled and said, "Do you know which is more important, brotherhood or a Daoist partner?" She asked, "Which is more important, a Daoist partner who hasn't even materialized yet or the Primordial Beginning?"
"This..." Chang Hao looked troubled. Instead of asking about brotherhood, Nuwa simply asked him who was more important to him, Yuanshi or his Daoist partner.
If Chang Hao hadn't just discovered Yuanshi's hidden feelings, he really wouldn't have understood that Nuwa was subtly reminding him. Nuwa was truly grateful, but unfortunately, he couldn't feel moved at all.
Nuwa is too wicked. This is exactly the same as the age-old problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships in later generations. "Brothers should be grateful for each other... but between Daoist couples..." Chang Hao was very confused and felt that something was wrong.
"How can gratitude and loyalty compare to a Daoist partner?" Nuwa came today specifically to remind Chang Hao. Besides, she was also very curious whether Chang Hao's emphasis on brotherhood could make him compromise and become a Daoist partner.
"Chang Hao has not yet chosen a Daoist partner, and their love is not mutual. Di Jun and Xi He have been entangled for ten thousand years. Why don't you ask Di Jun this question? His personal experience and understanding will surely be profound." Chang Hao pulled Di Jun aside again, shifting the blame: "Nuwa asks you, between Taiyi and Xi He, who is more important?"
The emperor, whose father was sweating profusely from Nuwa's questions, could not take it anymore and asked Dijun to step in while he sorted out his thoughts.
Di Jun's mind went blank. He shouldn't have worried about Chang Hao. It would have been better for Chang Hao to be captured by Nuwa and taken to the Nuwa Palace than for him to face such a difficult problem in the primordial world.
"Chang Hao, I must have owed you something in my past life for you to treat me like this in this life." This problem has no solution at all.
