Chapter 323 A Natural Circumstances
"Di Jun, those two star officials following you are quite unfamiliar." Chang Hao was a little annoyed. Why did his father bring just anyone to the Heavenly Court?
“It’s good that they’re unfamiliar. They are my newly recruited star officials, Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao.” Di Jun pulled Zhao Gongming forward a bit. “How about it? Aren’t they quite good?” He noticed that Xiao Shi had glanced at Zhao Gongming several times, which was clearly a sign of interest.
As long as he could divert Xiao Shi's attention, Di Jun felt that his efforts had not been in vain.
"Hmm," Chang Hao mumbled, "the two of them look like they have the looks and talents of immortals, so your judgment isn't bad." Chang Hao praised them against his will.
Chang Hao pinched the bridge of his nose and suddenly saw Zhao Gongming, who had been killed by his Seven Arrows of Nailhead in the previous reincarnation. Although he hadn't killed him, he still felt a little guilty.
And Qiongxiao...
There won't be Yunxiao and Bixiao as well, will there?
If they really are, with all four of them appearing together, Chang Hao wouldn't be able to pretend he didn't see them. Tongtian, what exactly are you doing?
Chang Hao knew without a doubt that the four outer disciples of the Jie Sect had condescended to serve as minor star officials beside the Ziwei Emperor in the Heavenly Court, which meant they must have grand ambitions.
Chang Hao looked at Di Jun with a helpless expression. Really... he couldn't let him be happy for long. Were the father and son really incompatible?
It has to be said that Di Jun has achieved his goal. Making Chang Hao extremely anxious is a way to divert attention.
"Come, come, let's not talk about this anymore. Look, what I brought you." Di Jun opened the jade box in Zhao Gongming's hand and took out the cloak from inside.
The jade box looked only about the size of two palms, but the material stretched out and grew longer and longer, eventually becoming a golden cloak. If you looked closely, you could see fine hairs, and from a distance, the golden cloak faintly revealed the majestic totem of a three-legged golden crow.
“This fur…” Chang Hao sensed the aura of Di Jun and Xi He from this cloak, which must have been woven from the fine downy fur shed by his father and mother.
"Try it, how does it feel?" Di Jun draped the cloak over Chang Hao, adjusted it, and then stared intently at Chang Hao, waiting to see his reaction.
With that cloak draped over his shoulders, doesn't he look like he's being held in his father's and mother's arms? Emperor Jun knows that Chang Hao is grown up and, for the sake of his reputation, he certainly won't let them hold him, so he can only resort to this roundabout method.
Xihe herself learned how to make the cloak from Si Rong, showing her deep love for her son.
Chang Hao's eyes reddened slightly. His father was really something. "When you're being annoying, you can drive me half to death. I'd forgotten that you can also make me happy."
"I was wrong before, I won't do it again," Di Jun immediately promised.
"You'd better keep your word, or I'll beat you with the God-Slaying Whip and imprison you in the Pure Forest for life to reflect on your mistakes," Chang Hao threatened.
"Don't worry, you'll never have the chance to treat me like that." Di Jun said that this was impossible, absolutely impossible.
"What else do you want to show off? Bring it up quickly," Chang Hao urged.
“How can you see all the surprises in one day? There are different surprises every day, so you can keep looking forward to it all day long. Isn’t that great?” Di Jun said reasonably.
Anyway, tomorrow hasn't come yet, so he can go back and think of new tricks. If he can't think of any, the whole family can think of them together, determined to dispel the shadow of the annoying Yuanshi Tianzun in Xiao Shi's heart.
"You hate him that much?" Chang Hao suddenly asked out of the blue.
Di Jun nodded immediately, "You're annoying."
The word "disgusting" came without the slightest pause. Di Jun asked himself honestly, even if Yuan Shi were replaced with Tong Tian, he could barely accept it, but it was Yuan Shi. They hadn't gotten along for several eons, and how could Di Jun accept that? He simply couldn't stand that Yuan Shi had abducted his son.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now. I still have quite a few memorials to process." Chang Hao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Di Jun glanced at Qiongxiao and Zhao Gongming, then looked at the imperial desk. "I'll help you process the memorials."
Chang Hao glanced at Di Jun with an ambiguous expression, thought about the two people he had brought, and suddenly understood what Di Jun wanted to do.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance to show off." Chang Hao nodded and handed some standard memorials to Di Jun.
Well, Chang Hao was uneasy about leaving the Jie Sect members elsewhere, fearing they might cause trouble and make Hongjun suspicious.
Chang Hao was afraid that Tongtian would send someone else if he sent them away from the Heavenly Court, so he decided to go along with Di Jun's wishes and leave them in Taiwei Palace.
Firstly, it would prevent Dijun from causing trouble again, and secondly, it would save Tongtian from sending someone else.
At least Chang Hao knew the backgrounds of Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals, which was better than having someone he didn't know hiding in the shadows.
"Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, come and lend a hand." Di Jun was happy to give the two a chance to prove themselves.
Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao did not expect to have their chance to shine so soon, so they naturally did their best to leave a good impression on the Heavenly Emperor.
Knowing that their goal was about to be achieved, the Ziwei Emperor was truly their benefactor. They should have the opportunity to thank him properly in the future.
The emperor, his ministers, father, and son—four people in one palace—each harbored their own ulterior motives.
Chang Hao observed them carefully for a while and was surprised to find that these two were actually quite promising, much better than some of the so-called carefree immortals in Heaven who were half-hearted about their duties.
Chang Hao had the idea of poaching someone's employees. He couldn't very well have Tongtian poach his employees, but he could poach Tongtian's employees.
With the help of Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao, Dijun quickly dealt with the memorials assigned by Chang Hao, and did not forget to praise Chang Hao for his excellent judgment.
"How about it? Do you want to keep him around for a while and see how he turns out? Just in case he's really talented, we won't let his talent go to waste." Di Jun enthusiastically promoted the idea.
"Oh?" Chang Hao glanced at the two with a half-smile. To be able to hold onto the position of one of the four outer disciples of the Jie Sect and not be overthrown by the ignorant outer disciples, he was naturally extraordinary.
Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao always felt like they were being seen through, but that must be an illusion. They were wearing jade pendants bestowed upon them by their master, so it was impossible for them to be seen through.
The Heavenly Emperor is not a saint.
"Alright then, these two can stay in Taiwei Palace. If they are truly promising talents, it would be a waste to keep them by my side as star officials. There are many good positions in the Heavenly Court, and I will arrange them for them." Chang Hao naturally left the two in Taiwei Palace.
"If you like it, that would be great. It's settled then. To be honest, it's a waste of their talents to have those four siblings by my side."
Yaochi also praised them for being very capable and good at getting things done, much better than some incompetent people who just occupy positions without doing anything. "How about I send those two over to you too?" Dijun tried to get things done in one go.
Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao looked at the Heavenly Emperor with great anticipation.
"We'll see," Chang Hao said noncommittally. He extracted the information he wanted from Di Jun's words and decided not to let the two sisters in again.
Is it so easy to place people around him? One or two is to give Di Jun face, but four is clearly suspicious.
Tongtian, let him see what kind of tricks you're up to.
