Chapter 318 Mission 1
Chang Hao's eyelashes trembled slightly, concealing his complex expression. "No, if Mother misses Ninth Brother and the others, she can go to Kunlun to visit them herself."
Although Hongjun had no romantic love for him, his feelings for him transcended worldly emotions. Though selfless, he also possessed a possessive streak. For this, Hongjun had already endured a great deal. His parents, uncles, and brothers were all testing Hongjun's patience...
He has already made his decision; wavering on and on will only hurt Hongjun's feelings.
Sure enough, Xihe understood; Xiao Shi had a problem with Yuanshi Tianzun.
Xihe disliked Yuanshi. Yuanshi's mouth was sharper than swords, and he was arrogant and cold-hearted. He was not the kind of person who would compromise. In fact, Xihe felt that Yuanshi's personality would make her son suffer. The only one who would compromise between the two of them would be her Xiaoshi.
However, seeing Chang Hao's dejection, Xi He softened her heart and said, "Actually, as long as you are happy, that's all that matters. Heavenly rules and precepts can't really bind you and me, so you don't have to be like this."
Anyway, the two men can't become a couple, so Xiao Shi can play around if he wants, see them if he wants, and if they don't get along, they can separate. Why be so depressed?
Chang Hao was both amused and exasperated. His mother was encouraging him to defy the rules. Fortunately, Hongjun didn't hear it, otherwise it would have added fuel to the fire. "Yuanshi and I are over. Mother, please don't mention it again."
Xihe stared in disbelief. “It’s over?” She hadn’t done anything, and it was already over?
Essentially, Xihe's opposition stemmed from her inability to handle Yuanshi Tianzun, her fear of Xiao Shi getting hurt, and her disapproval of the relationship.
"Why is Mother so surprised?" Chang Hao leaned back on the wide throne. "I'm just a little unaccustomed to the sudden emptiness beside me. I feel a bit empty inside, which is why I'm not feeling very energetic."
Chang Hao hardened his heart and severed all ties with love. His current despondency was only temporary, and he would soon recover. This was nothing compared to what was to come.
"Did Yuanshi wrong you? I always thought he was cold and aloof, not a man of lasting affection." Xihe never imagined that it was his son who had dumped him.
In Xihe's view, her son was loyal, righteous, and of noble character, and was by no means a promiscuous person.
"It was me, it was me who wronged him, Mother, please don't say anymore." Chang Hao lowered his head and buried himself in his documents, clearly not wanting to say more. "I am busy with official duties, Mother, please do as you please."
The busy schedule allowed him to temporarily forget his reluctance and avoid feeling lost.
Xihe was stunned. Her intuition told her that things inside were not simple, and her son was not such a casual person.
Xihe kept turning back to look at him as she took a few steps. Just as she reached the entrance of Taiwei Palace, Dijun hurriedly pulled her aside to a corner and whispered, "So, did you get any answers?"
Taiyi looked at Xihe expectantly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see Changhao's unusual behavior. Unfortunately, Xiao Shi would only say that he was fine in front of them, showing no sign of vulnerability. Taiyi was at a loss as to what to do, and wondered if his sister-in-law could find out anything else.
"Xiao Shi and Yuan Shi have broken up, and I feel empty inside." Xi He felt a pang of pity.
"It's over?" Di Jun's face lit up with joy. "That's great. It's been empty for a while, but we've filled it up for him. In time, Xiao Shi will definitely forget about Yuan Shi."
It's a pity that Di Jun was imprisoned by Chang Hao for some time and only broke through the illusion yesterday. Otherwise, Di Jun would have been able to connect the dots and realize that the end of the relationship between Chang Hao and Yuan Shi was the work of Dao Zu.
"Fill it up?" Xihe was a little confused. How could they fill it up? Was this something they could fill up?
Taiyi glanced sideways, "Big brother, don't do anything reckless."
"Don't worry about it, I'll handle this." Di Jun was full of confidence. Xiao Shi liked the aloof and cold type, so he would give him that.
There aren't many like this in the Heavenly Court. Emperor Jun plans to go to the prehistoric world and bring up a few. Little Ten gets tired of looking at them every day. It would be even better if he could get rid of his poor eyesight.
Taiyi and Xihe were skeptical, but at this moment, they really couldn't find any good words to comfort Chang Hao. Could it be that out with the old, in with the new?
To be fair, aside from the fact that none of them liked him, Yuanshi Tianzun was quite capable, surpassing all the great powers in the prehistoric world in every aspect. Newer ones might not be able to compare to Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Then you try it first, but do it discreetly, understand?" Xihe nodded in agreement and let Dijun handle it.
Desperate, she had no other choice but to let Dijun handle it.
If Dijun accidentally angers Xiaoshi, it's okay. Xiaoshi can distract himself and vent his anger appropriately. It's not bad to keep it bottled up, as it will cause problems.
"Big brother, big brother..." Xihe let go, but Taiyi was still worried and hurriedly chased after her.
"Big brother, what do you want to do? Can you give me a hint?" Taiyi knows Dijun too well; he might just have a brain fart at any moment.
“You don’t understand,” Di Jun said mysteriously, glancing at Taiyi, who had been single for thousands of years. “You’ll understand when you find a Daoist partner.”
Di Jun turned around calmly, his back exuding confidence. Tai Yi stood there, his eyes filled with confusion. Why did he feel like his older brother was looking down on him?
It must be my imagination, right?
Emperor Jun was full of ambition and vowed to make his son completely forget about Yuanshi Tianzun. As for what was so cute about that ice block, Emperor Jun couldn't sense it at all...
Tongtian couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere of Kunlun Mountain, so he came to Jin'ao Island to relax. Seeing that the proportion of disciples on the island who had achieved success in their cultivation was not small, he was very pleased. He was already very satisfied with the results achieved by free-range cultivation.
As he was looking around, Tongtian suddenly had a sudden idea and asked the doorman to summon the four outer disciples.
"Greetings, Master." Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao received the summons and hurriedly came to pay their respects.
"No need for formalities, please rise." Tongtian maintained his inscrutable expression.
Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals held Tongtian in a mixture of respect, awe, and reverence. Not knowing Tongtian's character, they held their breath and waited quietly for Tongtian to tell them what important matter he had to discuss.
"You have done a good job. Jin'ao Island is in good order, and you deserve credit for it." Tongtian praised him first.
"Master is too kind. My fellow disciples and I only helped our eldest brother with a few miscellaneous tasks. We are not worthy of your praise," Zhao Gongming said frankly.
The three Xiao sisters nodded to show that what their eldest brother said was true.
"No need to be modest. Your abilities are obvious to all. Therefore, Master intends to send you on a secret mission." Tongtian had made up his mind. Even if the four of them were useless, Tongtian would still lie through his teeth.
Moreover, these four are indeed quite presentable. It would be inconvenient to send out disciples from Kunlun Mountain, as they would be too conspicuous. The disciples from Jin'ao Island are not so eye-catching, and I believe that Master will not notice his disciples from Jin'ao Island.
Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals looked at each other in bewilderment. Could they really receive a secret mission?
Then he was filled with excitement, "Please give the order, Master, and I will do my utmost to complete it, even at the cost of my life."
“It’s not that serious,” Tongtian couldn’t help but chuckle. “I want you to find a way to infiltrate the Heavenly Court, preferably to get a position, the higher the better. Or, becoming a star official in the Taiwei Palace would also be a good option.”
Only by holding a higher position or being closer to Chang Hao can one get in touch with him; otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.
