Chapter 332 Rejection
Nuwa was suddenly struck where it hurt, her face turned black, and she was speechless for a long time.
Fuxi noticed the awkward atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to pull Nuwa down. "Sister, why are you doing this? Ever since you first met Yuanshi Tianzun, you've been at odds with him. When have you ever gotten the better of him?"
Since we can't win, we should accept our fate.
"Second Uncle, this disciple will take his leave now." Fuxi bowed to Yuanshi, then disregarded etiquette and pulled Nuwa away.
"Ha, all bluster and no substance, utterly pathetic." Yuan Shi sneered. With this level of skill, you think you can fight me?
"Sister, sister, why are you doing this? You know you're no match for the Heavenly Venerable." Fuxi tried his best to appease Nuwa, knowing that if they really fought, his sister would definitely not come out on top.
"Hmph, wasn't he mocking us for being covered in scales and horns, born from wet eggs? If he's got the guts, he should go after that little..."
Fuxi quickly covered Nuwa's mouth, "Alright, sister, don't you want the red embroidered ball anymore?"
If this secret gets out from his sister, he really won't be able to protect her.
We're still in front of the Jade Void Palace. Yuanshi Tianzun could change his mind at any time and take the red embroidered ball back. At that time, will you, sister, be able to stop Yuanshi or put your hopes on this useless brother of his?
"Yu Ding pays respects to the Goddess Nuwa..."
"Yang Jian pays his respects to the Goddess Nuwa..."
Although Yang Jian was young and aloof, his eyes betrayed a deep-seated resentment. From Yang Jian's perspective, his warm and happy home was destroyed in the blink of an eye, his mother was imprisoned and tortured on Mount Li, his father's fate was unknown, his elder brother was killed before his eyes, and his younger sister was in grave danger. How could he not hate the Heavenly Court to the core, and even more so the unreasonable gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court?
Nuwa's anger had not subsided. She turned her head and saw Yu Ding and Yang Jian still kneeling in front of Yuxu Palace. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Yang Jian?"
Nuwa glanced at the Yang family and saw everything. Yang Chan had already been taken back by her, which was a problem. She didn't want to go against the Heavenly Court.
Wait a minute, what flows through Yang Jian's body is... the vibrant life force of the innate gourd vine, which actually transferred from Yao Ji's body to Yang Jian's body and became Yang Jian's foundation.
Nuwa once had a gourd that grew from a primordial gourd vine, so she certainly wouldn't be mistaken.
Yang Jian, though named as a being born after birth, has an aptitude no less than that of a naturally born being. It would be a real pity if he didn't pursue the path of immortality. With a suitable cultivation technique, he could surely leap to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm within a hundred years.
"Yang Jian, would you like to come with me to Nuwa Palace?" Nuwa looked at Yang Jian and found him to be a handsome young man, quite pleasing to the eye. She had already taken Yang Chan in, so what difference would it make if she took Yang Jian as well?
Since Yang Jian has entered the Nuwa Palace, he has little chance of leaving. No matter how deep the hatred is, Yang Jian can't cause any trouble. She will keep him trapped in the Nuwa Palace, which will definitely not cause any trouble for Xiao Shi.
Yang Jian glanced at the jade cauldron, remained silent, and knelt upright.
He was a novice, completely lost, but Yang Jian could still sense who truly cared for him.
"Sister?" Fuxi asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?" This young man was kneeling here, clearly wanting to join the Jade Void Palace.
"I just felt sorry for Yang Jian and wanted to reunite him and his sister." Nuwa's face was full of compassion, her heart filled with the desire to save all living beings and love the world.
Fuxi broke out in a cold sweat. He had never seen his sister act like this before, and fell silent for a moment.
Yang Jian's eyes flickered. Did Nuwa mean that his sister was with her? Then he could rest assured. How could the Holy Mother of the Human Race possibly hold a grudge against a little girl?
Nuwa: "Yang Jian, you joined the Jade Void Palace simply to save your mother. However, the Jade Void Palace cannot help you achieve this wish. In fact, it may even become an obstacle to your success."
In all honesty, Nuwa's words came from the bottom of her heart. Given Yuanshi's unwavering devotion to the one in the Heavenly Court, if Yang Jian were to join the Jade Void Palace, he would have no chance of harboring any rebellious thoughts. Yuanshi Tianzun would not allow it, and it was more likely that he would directly expel him from the sect.
"Thank you for your kindness, Goddess Nuwa. However, Yang Jian has already chosen his master and will never change his mind in this lifetime." Yang Jian politely declined Goddess Nuwa's offer. Although his chosen master was not as noble as Goddess Nuwa, he was genuinely good to him.
Yang Jian wanted to save his mother, but he had no intention of dragging anyone else into the water. He only wanted to use his own strength to rescue Yao Ji, who was trapped under Lishan Mountain.
"Fine, then forget it." Nuwa turned and left, having been humiliated for trying to do a good deed.
"Wait for me, little sister." Fuxi didn't know whether Yang Jian's refusal was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Yang Jian, you're too foolish." Yu Ding knew he couldn't compare to Nuwa, yet Yang Jian still refused Nuwa's offer.
"Since Yang Jian has recognized the true person, his heart will never change." Yang Jian does not consider himself to be a fool. Although Nuwa appears good on the surface, who knows what she is really like inside?
Although Yu Ding Zhenren was only one of the twelve Golden Immortals under Yu Xu Palace, Yang Jian knew during this time that he was truly a good person. Yang Jian could not bear to give up the care that was within his reach for the sake of an unknown but potentially better future.
"Junior brother, Master wants you to go in by yourself." Cihang looked at Yang Jian with pity. No matter how good his aptitude was, Master hated trouble the most, and this young man himself represented trouble.
Yu Ding knew things were going badly. He had heard what Nuwa had said, and his plan to take Yang Jian away was now in jeopardy.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'll go inside now. Please keep an eye on Yang Jian." Yu Ding glanced at Yang Jian with concern.
"Of course, young friend Yang Jian is a guest from afar, so please rest assured, junior brother." Cihang couldn't promise anything else, but looking after a child was no problem.
Yu Ding entered the hall with a worried expression. "This unfilial disciple pays respects to Master." Yu Ding lowered his head, not daring to stand up straight as usual.
"You still know you're unfilial," Yuanshi said, his anger rising. "You were so eager to take Yang Jian as your disciple that you even brought him to Kunlun without consulting me first. You only did this because you relied on your master. If I weren't standing behind you, would you dare to stand up and protect Yang Jian today?"
“Reporting to Master, this disciple dares to say,” Yu Ding raised his head, looking down without daring to look directly at Yuanshi Tianzun, “The Heavenly Rules are harsh and inhumane, and the Queen Mother of Heaven enforces the law too strictly. This disciple has long been unable to bear it.”
"The misfortune that befell Yang Jian's family is all because the Queen Mother, out of selfishness, disregarded the bond between siblings. There is still human compassion beyond the law. The Queen Mother had a thousand ways to resolve this matter, but she chose the most drastic and irrational one. Your disciple is not convinced," Yu Ding said, expressing his true feelings.
"The Queen Mother has her own difficulties. You don't know the details, yet you generalize from limited information. Do you know your mistake?" Yuanshi looked at Yu Ding with new respect. How could he not know that Yu Ding was so bold? It seems that his understanding of his disciples is not comprehensive enough.
"No matter how difficult it is, how can it be as difficult as the Yang family's?" Yu Ding couldn't understand why the Queen Mother would be so ruthless to Yao Ji, showing her no mercy. She had always cherished and loved her, hadn't she?
