Chapter 414: Apology and Tolerance First
This is not a courtesy to apologize, but neither the person who hurt others nor the one who was hurt is the protagonist of this matter. The so-called apology is just a formality, a statement of attitude, and a way to save face.
The Immortal Jinting got the pearl, the Water God of Taihu Lake got face, and the Three Thousand Years Old and the Thunder Officer were spared punishment, and the matter was settled.
Therefore, the beaten Three Thousand Years Old dared not say that the evil dragon was impolite and did not apologize. Trouble comes from the mouth, and it was his careless words that caused such trouble. He obediently accepted the injury pills and the matter was settled.
Even if the Thunder Officer was unwilling, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake under the gaze of the Inspector and apologize to the Three Thousand Years Old.
That's right, the Great Immortal Jin Ting didn't want to come himself, so he sent the Inspector to supervise, so as to prevent this evil dragon from causing any more trouble.
On the other hand, the Inspector, who was entrusted with an important task, showed his ingenuity and watched the mine collector go through the process meticulously.
Black Dragon felt sick, but there was nothing he could do. He probably understood the nature of the Great Immortal Jin Ting. When the Great Immortal Jin Ting was in a good mood, he could joke around, but when he had a real order, he must not disobey him.
For example, at this moment, even though he had plenty of ways to kill this little brat without anyone knowing, this little brat represented the attitude of the Great Immortal Jin Ting, so not only could he not hurt him, he also had to escort him to and from the Water Palace.
The Three Thousand Year Old looked at the Inspector, then at the Thunder Officer, and whispered, "Compared to a thousand years ago, I find you more pleasing to the eye now."
The Thunder Officer was furious and said, "Old man, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
The Three Thousand Years Old looked at him intently, then clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "I apologize for my rude words."
The Thunder Officer pressed his thumb against the other knuckles, making a crisp sound. He snorted coldly and said, "Little devil, let's go."
He turned around and turned into a flying dragon, grabbed the clothes of the little Taoist Chong Jing, and broke through the water of Taihu Lake and flew into the sky.
San Qiansui put away the bruises and injuries pills he had brought, sighed, and put them in his sleeve.
After the Thunder Officer left, the silver-armored young general Tie Chenfang emerged from behind the scenes and asked, "Is the old Prime Minister all right?"
The three thousand year old man looked at Tie Chen with cloudy eyes and said soothingly, "It's alright. Young Master, don't rush things. Some things are better to be done slowly."
Tie Chen pretended to be confused and asked, "What is the old prime minister talking about?"
The Three Thousand Year Old said, "You shouldn't have informed His Highness Du Heng. A little impatience can ruin a great plan. Although you were careful, you didn't leave any traces."
Tiechen's face darkened.
The Three Thousand Years Old looked at Tie Chen and said, "Before inviting the Jin Ting Immortal to the banquet, the Water God had already repeatedly warned you not to tell Young Master Du Heng. If His Highness Du Heng was truly injured or killed by the Jin Ting Immortal, the Water God would definitely investigate thoroughly and implicate everyone involved. How would Young Master escape? While Young Master was here guarding against the evil dragon, the Water God was already investigating who leaked the message to His Highness Du Heng."
Tie Chen said, "I did it cleanly, he can't find out."
The Three Thousand Year Old said, "Young Master is confused. If he could find out, it would be fine. But if he couldn't, he would become suspicious of you. If he wanted to do something to you, why would he need any real evidence?"
Tie Chen's face was immediately filled with regret. He looked at the Three Thousand Years Old and said with some hope, "Old Prime Minister, it was my fault for not thinking carefully enough and not listening to your advice."
Sanqian Sui patted Tiechen's shoulder and said, "I have asked the master's old subordinates to collect the young master's tail."
Tie Chen froze instantly, tears welling up in his eyes, and said, "I harmed them."
The Three Thousand Years Old stood before Tie Chen, looked deeply into his eyes, and said, "Today I will resign from the Water God and take time off to recuperate. When I am no longer in the Water Palace, the young master will have even fewer people to trust. You must be more thoughtful in everything you do and prioritize tolerance."
Tiechen's expression changed, and he seemed to want to say something, but he knew that it was too late to save the situation.
Sanqian Sui gathered his sleeves and turned to walk towards the Water Palace.
After taking two steps, he saw Tie Chen still standing there, so he said loudly: "Master Chen, thank you for protecting my old bones today. That evil dragon is so ferocious and evil that it really makes people tremble with fear."
Tie Chen lowered his head, and when he raised it again, he had a calm expression on his face. He said, "Fortunately, that evil creature has been subdued by the Great Immortal Jin Ting, and he's no longer as arrogant as he used to be."
The less arrogant Cai Leiguan flew all the way back to Shenjing Palace, with rain and thunder all the way, revealing his resentment.
The Inspector held his paw and asked, "Do you know that Turtle Prime Minister?"
The Thunder Officer denied it, "Who knows that old thing? He's lived for three thousand years and still alive. He's very unlucky."
The Inspector pursed his lips and refused to believe it anyway.
When they arrived at the Shenjing Palace, the Thunder Officer coiled up on the doorpost of the Golden Palace and turned into a relief, looking as if he didn't want anyone to get close to him.
The Inspector went in to report to the Immortal Jin Ting and told him what had happened. The Thunder Officer had already apologized to the Three Thousand Years Old as agreed, but he was still humiliated by the Three Thousand Years Old's words.
The Immortal Jin Ting had no time to care about what this evil dragon was thinking. He praised the Inspector and sent him away. He also told him to let the Thunder Collector continue working and not to cut off the essence of the heavenly thunder.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting was practicing thunder magic openly and practicing the method of impeaching gods and refining the Heavenly Net in secret. He was also preparing to refine the Taiyin Soul-Slaying Sword. He was really busy.
The black dragon was filled with anger, and silently went up to the sky to collect the essence of the thunder. Perhaps because of his anger, the thunderclouds were darker than usual, and the lightning was brighter than usual. At dusk, he had collected enough essence of the thunder, and then lay on the doorpost to watch the sky.
Chong Jing, holding the Heavenly Thunder Essence in his hand, followed the Thunder Officer's gaze and looked up at the sky. He asked, "Thunder Officer, what are you looking at?"
Officer Cai Lei said, "I'm looking at the moon."
The little Taoist boy Chong Jing didn't understand.
As dusk deepens, the moonlight becomes brighter.
The little Taoist boy Chong Jing took the bottle into the Golden Palace. The Immortal Jin Ting took the jade bottle and gave the Inspector another task.
The Immortal Jin Ting handed the red clam to Chong Jing and said, "Go get a bucket of water and place the clam in it. The Moon Collector will collect the essence of the moon at night and needs to collect a full one-inch and three-fen. You can come and collect it tomorrow morning."
The little Taoist boy Chong Jing finally understood what the Thunder Officer was looking at. It turned out that he was looking at the Moon Officer.
The Taoist boy Chong Jing fetched some water, and as night fell, the golden palace began to glow.
The elixir energy of the Immortal Jin Ting rises like the bright moon, and thousands of dragons fly after each other. The bright moon and the lights echo each other, which is fascinating.
Chong Jing knocked on Chi Bang and said, "Officer Cai Yue, come out to work."
On the doorpost, Cai Leiguan stared at the Dan Qi of Jin Ting Daxian without blinking. After hearing the words, he turned his gaze to the red clam.
The red clam opened its mouth, and out flew a red pearl, shining brightly and transforming into a beautiful girl.
The girl smiled and said, "Don't rush me. I am an old hand at gathering the essence of the moon. Few can compare to me..."
Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the elixir energy in the golden palace that was like the bright moon, and the moonlight that was falling like a waterfall.
Cai Yueguan was struck by a blow. Looking at the elixir of Jin Ting Daxian, she felt that it was an incomparable divine elixir.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, it is in perfect harmony with this pill.
"Woo woo woo." She covered her eyes.
Taoist Chong Jing asked curiously, "Why are you crying?"
"Who is crying? I'm not crying!"
