Chapter 142 The Truth Comes Out
Although Chang Hao is usually well-mannered, he shouldn't be so calm and composed.
Yuanshi felt uneasy and guilty, with a faint sense of unease. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Even if it was just intuition, the sage was very accurate.
Since he was uneasy, Yuanshi raised his hand and began to calculate the secrets of heaven. It should have been a simple matter of calculation, but he found the secrets of heaven in chaos, cause and effect were not clear, and there was only confusion. Chang Hao was already difficult to calculate, and he could usually only calculate the people close to him, thus obtaining only a few words from Chang Hao.
Now, all that remains is a hazy, smoky void.
Yuanshi's face was grim, his brows furrowed with seriousness. He needed to consult his elder brother; the heavenly secrets were clearly not right.
Long ago, the secrets of heaven were also like this, and that time was the great calamity of the dragon and phoenix.
Could it be that another great calamity is about to strike?
"Second Brother, why did you come out at this hour?" Tongtian, feeling guilty, quickly put away the innate spiritual treasure in his hand by covering his small movements with his wide sleeves. As long as he wasn't caught on the spot, he wouldn't be considered picky.
"Second brother, come and take a look. Take whatever you like. Duobao is very capable. All the innate spiritual treasures I saw in the Pangu Palace are here, not one missing."
Tongtian's enthusiastic greeting, along with his slight unease, disappeared as he carefully put away the magical treasure.
Yuanshi knew perfectly well what Tongtian was doing, but pretended not to see it, even though his third brother's nephew was blushing with shame.
This is nothing. Hopefully, Duobao won't be unable to bear it and run to Chang Hao to complain. If he does, then everything will be fine.
“No need,” Yuanshi said, not lacking in spiritual treasures. He glanced at the innate spiritual treasures offered by the Ancestral Witch as an apology. “After you’ve made your selection, remember to have Duobao register them and put them in the Kunlun Mountain public treasury. In the future, when you take on more disciples, you can allow them to enter the spiritual treasure treasury and choose an innate spiritual treasure.”
Duobao looked up in surprise. Had he heard correctly? Weren't disciples given a greeting gift like he did?
So, from now on, junior brothers and sisters won't be giving each other gifts when they meet?
"Duobao, did you hear that? Same as always. Take these down and divide them into three parts, then make a register," Tongtian calmly instructed Duobao.
Duobao glanced at Tongtian's wide sleeves. Second Master Uncle... suddenly realized, his master was actually a spoiled patriarch who had become so lawless that he couldn't be disciplined or scolded now that he had become a saint!
"I have something important to discuss with you, elder brother. If not, Tongtian, you should also come to see me later." Yuanshi casually said before leaving.
"I'm free right now, let's go together." Tongtian put his hands behind his back and gestured vigorously with his fingers to Duobao, hoping that Duobao would be quick-witted and understand what he meant.
Duobao wished he hadn't fully grasped the meaning and, against his conscience, distributed the spiritual treasures that Tongtian had just picked out as 'barely acceptable' to the Jiejiao public treasury.
Senior Uncle, Second Uncle, it's not that Duobao didn't distribute the goods fairly, but rather that he couldn't disobey his master's orders.
Since you two entrusted all the treasures of Kunlun Mountain to Duobao with such confidence, you must have expected this outcome...
Yuanshi revealed the chaotic state of the celestial secrets, and Laozi immediately sobered up, "Really? You really didn't miscalculate Chang Hao?"
"Oh...look what I just heard, Second Brother, you're so unfair! You actually plotted against Chang Hao behind his back!" Tongtian seemed to have caught something red-handed and suddenly became excited.
Yuanshi: ...
He knew his behavior was inappropriate, but he couldn't help it.
"Tongtian..." Laozi stopped Tongtian from his desire to watch the excitement. Yuanshi had suffered enough from unrequited love.
“I have also calculated it. Chang Hao is indeed difficult to predict. If it is not because my master helped him shield the secrets of heaven, then Chang Hao has a karmic position in heaven and earth, and the heavenly way is protecting him.”
"Am I not caring enough about Chang Hao?" Tongtian wondered. "Chang Hao is so good to me, this is not good. I need to care about him more."
Yuanshi's face darkened instantly. "Enough with the nonsense. I'm here to take advantage of the chaos in the heavens and see if we can find out anything by pooling the power of the three of us."
Yuanshi changed the subject. Tongtian's interest never lasted long. Once he left his elder brother's cave, he would probably have forgotten what he wanted to do and something new would attract his attention.
When it came to serious matters, Tongtian became more composed, sitting up straight for once. The three sages sat in a triangular formation and began to work together to calculate the secrets of heaven.
At the center is the Haotian Mirror, provided by Yuanshi, which is supposed to truthfully reveal the celestial secrets calculated. Unfortunately, the Haotian Mirror is now shrouded in clouds and mist, making it impossible to see or discern anything clearly...
Just as the Three Pure Ones were working together to calculate the secrets of heaven, Chang Hao, whose primordial spirit had been restored by a Yuanshi Replenishing Pill, left the quiet room. He was filled with fear and trepidation, but his face remained calm.
"Mountain Lord..." Duobao was overjoyed.
Chang Hao was initially startled, but then calmly asked, "Duobao, are you settling in well in Kunlun?"
Duobao's eyes welled up with tears. "Duobao is doing well." There's no such thing as adapting to anything.
"Where are your master and senior brothers?" Chang Hao asked.
Duobao didn't notice that Chang Hao's attitude was different, and without thinking, he said, "Second Uncle went to First Uncle's place, and Master went too. It seems that something big has happened."
"Since they have something to do, I won't bother them. After they come out, Duobao, please tell them that I have to leave first." Chang Hao was no longer concerned about the impoliteness of leaving without saying goodbye.
"Yes, Mountain Lord. Duobao will certainly pass on your message. If you have urgent business to attend to, please go and take care of it first." Duobao was not surprised to see the Mountain Lord in such a hurry.
Chang Hao first returned to Lishan to think quietly by himself. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Knowing that Yuanshi was clingy, he would soon come to Lishan. So he simply left Lishan and hid in the Eastern Palace of the Demon Court Taiyi to continue thinking.
Given Yuanshi's prejudice against Dijun and the demon race, he probably won't come to the Demon Court, right...?
Chang Hao was always perceptive and had his doubts, but because Yuan Shi's eyes were filled with pure innocence and nothing else, he thought he was mistaken.
However……
Chang Hao rested his chin on his hand and pondered, thinking back to when they first met until now. Yuan Shi had always been caring and considerate, always concerned about what he was in need and worried about what he was worried about, and was completely open and honest with him.
Faced with life and death, they only asked to die together, and did not hesitate to reject treasures as if they were dirt. They treated him like a treasure in their palm, and every little thing they did for him was countless.
The day before yesterday... they were even willing to give him money to make up for it, Chang Hao really can't lie to himself anymore.
It's a pity that his deep feelings are only now being realized. Now that he knows the truth, Chang Hao is in a dilemma, and even more afraid that Yuan Shi will become mired in trouble.
Chang Hao believed he had no personal feelings for Yuan Shi and had always treated him like a brother. He was troubled about how to handle this thorny matter, fearing that his feelings might damage their friendship, and he hesitated, caught between two difficult situations.
"Chang Hao...why is he silent in front of Tianhe?"
Chang Hao pursed his lips, too lazy to turn around, not noticing he was deep in thought.
Di Jun teased again: "I noticed that you look strange this time. Are you perhaps entangled in trouble and unable to resolve it, so you're simply hiding here to escape? Tell me about it so I can think of a solution."
It's rare to see Chang Hao looking troubled. Let him hear what's on his mind; perhaps it will cheer him up.
Chang Hao's eyes flashed with anger. "If you came to see me to ridicule me, then there's no way I'll see you off."
"You look better like this. Why bother with such a gloomy face? Venerable Changhao, who is carefree and at ease, should have nothing to worry about." Seeing Changhao's worried expression, Dijun felt extremely uncomfortable.
Chang Hao looked Di Jun up and down, and Di Jun felt a chill run down his spine. "What kind of look is that?"
Chang Hao withdrew his scrutinizing gaze. He admitted that he was not much different from Di Jun in character, and he really couldn't see what was so endearing about Di Jun. Yuan Shi...
Why are you so depressed...?
well……
