Chapter 270 Teaching Slowly
Huang Long felt as if he had been granted a pardon. Fearing that he might have revealed something, he dared not look at Chang Hao and quietly got up to pack up his private stash.
Your Majesty, Xiaolong really didn't betray you. Please, please, please don't misunderstand...
Chang Hao feigned composure, but inwardly he was panicking, his eyes constantly darting towards the Sun Essence Wheel in Yuan Shi's hand. If he could get the Sun Essence Wheel back...
"Get ready and then leave." Yuanshi's dissatisfaction with Huanglong resurfaced. Huanglong was dawdling over packing, and his eyes kept trying to sneak peeks at him and Chang Hao. He'd see how he'd deal with this dragon once Chang Hao wasn't around.
Knowing full well what he desperately needs, yet not offering it up, there's a suspicion that they're watching him suffer; they shouldn't be let off lightly.
"Yes, Master." Huang Long dared not be angry or speak, and left with his head bowed and eyes lowered.
Chang Hao took a step back; he also wanted to slip away. If he had known, he wouldn't have come. Why did he volunteer to invite someone, only to walk right into a trap?
"What secret manual did Huanglong just give you?" Chang Hao still held a sliver of hope that Yuanshi hadn't yet seen its contents. "May I see it?"
Yuan Shi's eyes flickered and his ears turned red. When he saw Chang Haoqing's piercing gaze fixed on him, he felt a burning sensation all over his body.
Before, Yuan Shi didn't understand anything and just wanted to stay by Chang Hao's side as close as possible. Now that she understands a little, her previous closeness is no longer enough, and she just wants to never be apart.
"What are you doing? Where is the stuff? Let me see it, okay?" Chang Hao was extremely anxious to hand it over.
"You don't need to look at that. Once I've learned it, I'll teach you slowly later." Yuan Shi silently recited the Pure and Tranquil Sutra in his heart, not wanting to lose his composure. He had only glanced at it briefly just now, and he should study it carefully when he had time. Actually, he still didn't quite understand it.
Chang Hao's heart pounded with anxiety. It was all over; the pure Primordial Beginning was gone forever.
"Come up here, let me check you out. Didn't you say your injury was almost healed?" Yuan Shi beckoned Chang Hao to come up, and once Chang Hao was up, he could easily pull him onto his lap.
Having experienced it once, Yuan Shi longed for a second time, hoping for even greater intimacy.
“I know my own injuries, no need to check,” Chang Hao said, feeling that Yuan Shi had ill intentions. “My brother said that since you are normal, he wants you to go to the Eight Views Palace.”
“I will go to the Eight Views Palace,” Yuanshi said, walking down the jade steps in a few strides. “Your injuries also need to heal as soon as possible.” Yuanshi pulled Chang Hao toward the inner hall, eager to share the secret manual he had and already looking forward to the future.
"I'll heal your injuries first before we go to the Eight Trigrams Palace," Yuanshi hadn't forgotten what Chang Hao had said when he entered the hall. "I just learned a method for healing the soul from a secret manual. Would you like to take a look?"
"No need, no need. You've already healed my injuries once since you came out of seclusion. How could I bear to exploit you like this? You must have a lot to do. You go ahead and do your work. I'm not in a hurry." Chang Hao refused to leave and met Yuan Shi's gaze sincerely.
What's so good about it? From today onwards, if anyone asks, the answer will always be that the injury hasn't healed.
"Really don't want it?" Yuanshi was unwilling to give up and wanted to try to persuade him again. "If you don't understand, take a look first. This method can help your injuries recover quickly and even help you break through your realm." In his opinion, the method of healing the soul was wonderful. Of course, Yuanshi only knew this for the time being.
“No need,” Chang Hao said with a hint of unease, remaining vigilant towards Yuan Shi. “The way it was before was fine.”
No, he had to leave the dangerous Jade Void Palace first before figuring out a solution. Wasn't the method of healing the soul simply the dual cultivation of the primordial spirit? He wasn't that easily fooled.
"Alright, let's take it slow, I'm not in a hurry." Yuan Shi thought for a moment and realized that Chang Hao didn't understand the secret. In fact, even he didn't understand it, so Chang Hao had no way of knowing.
He pulled Chang Hao and turned to walk out of Yuxu Palace. Well, he would go to Bajing Palace first, then help Chang Hao recover before slowly teaching him.
When will Chang Hao finally agree to be officially together with him? Yuan Shi silently warned himself not to rush things, but to take it slowly, step by step, so that it could last.
Chang Hao had a sudden idea. Before he even left the hall, he transformed into the Golden Crow and stared intently at Yuanshi with his big, round eyes.
With great difficulty, Yuan Shi forced himself to suppress his frivolous thoughts and switch to tenderness, saying, "Go ahead and torment me."
Chang Hao withdrew his hand, saying innocently, "Heavenly Venerable, what are you saying? Little Ten doesn't understand." From today onwards, he understands nothing and is completely innocent.
After Yuanshi's defeat, he felt it would be shameful to harbor any thoughts towards Chang Hao.
"Greetings, Master..." Guang Chengzi bowed deeply, showing great respect.
Yuan Shi's face stiffened. "What are you doing here?" He had clearly told them all to leave.
"Reporting to Master, now that you have emerged from seclusion, this disciple will naturally serve you closely and stay by your side." Guang Chengzi said in a serious tone, "Today I am your disciple, tomorrow I will be your second junior brother, and we will do our best."
Chang Hao couldn't help but chuckle. No, he couldn't laugh, so he quickly unfolded his small fan to cover the curve of his mouth.
"You can have your intentions, but there's no need for this." For the first time, Yuanshi felt that Guangchengzi was being incredibly tactless. With Guangchengzi by his side, what could he possibly do? Let alone hugging or cuddling, Chang Hao probably wouldn't even step into the Jade Void Palace.
“Master is considerate of his disciple, but the disciple cannot take it for granted. Respecting the master and valuing the Way is the disciple’s duty.” Guang Chengzi did not understand Yuanshi’s implied meaning at all.
"Guang Chengzi is truly a model among disciples. Heavenly Venerable, you should be pleased." For the first time, Chang Hao found Guang Chengzi agreeable. So what if he was a bit old-fashioned and arrogant at heart? It was nothing.
Unfortunately, Yuanshi was not pleased at all. He glanced indulgently at Chang Hao, who was watching him make a fool of himself, and said, "You, are you watching me make a fool of myself? It's fine, you can watch all you want, laugh if you want, you don't need to look at me like that."
Guang Chengzi was incredulous. How could the Tenth Prince be here? He hadn't sensed him at all, and even after secretly trying again, he still couldn't sense him. Was the Tenth Prince's cultivation level above his own?!
Guang Chengzi's world collapsed. No wonder his master scolded him for being a good-for-nothing every day. He really was a good-for-nothing. In a short time, Guang Chengzi was so shocked that he lost his soul.
Yuanshi wanted to take Chang Hao away so he could send his disciples to see the Ninth Prince and the others, or send them down the mountain. The excuse of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path was quite good.
"Guang Chengzi, Guang Chengzi..." Chang Hao dodged Yuan Shi's hand, ran to Guang Chengzi's side, and grabbed Guang Chengzi's sleeve. "Heavenly Venerable, since Guang Chengzi is here, you should go to the Eight Views Palace by yourself." He was quite frightened today and wanted to calm down first.
"Master, this disciple will take care of the Tenth Prince." Guang Chengzi was desperately trying to impress Yuanshi, completely unaware that the more he did, the more mistakes he would make.
Yuanshi felt a headache coming on and cursed Tongtian under his breath again. He could already foresee the chaos to come and had no energy left to worry about it.
Yuanshi was very worried. What if Chang Hao left after he came out? Just now in Yuxu Palace, Chang Hao seemed very eager to leave.
He missed Chang Hao terribly if he didn't see him for a day, and Yuan Shi now only wanted to keep Chang Hao by his side.
