Chapter 278: Chapter 248, The Cause of Divine Enthronement_2 After saying that, Bai Jin walked toward Yuxu Palace with a smile, pushed open the grand doors, stepped inside, and respectfully kowtowed, saying: "Disciple pays respects to Master!" From the principal seat, Primordial said warmly, "Rise." "Yes!" Bai Jin stood up, holding a fruit basket in his hands, and said: "Master, here are Flat Peaches sent from the Heavenly Court for you, please kindly accept them." Primordial waved his hand to accept the Flat Peaches and said: "Yaoji was saved by you." Bai Jin nodded respectfully and replied: "Yes! Disciple followed Master’s orders and saved Yaoji, disrupting Master’s plans. Please forgive me, Master." "I naturally know it was Tongtian’s doing, hmph~ completely lacking in the big picture." Bai Jin carefully hinted, "Master, you said before that you didn’t mind me taking action." "It’s true that I don’t mind you intervening, but as a Sect Hierarch, Tongtian’s complete lack of strategic foresight, only focusing on the present and ignoring Heaven and Earth, with such a narrow-minded view, how can he educate the beings of the Primordial World?" Bai Jin hastened to say: "Master, it really wasn’t my Master’s fault this time; there’s another secret matter involved." "Oh?" Primordial frowned slightly. "Reporting to Master, after my Master’s calculations, we found that the incident with Yaoji has the influence of the Western Sect behind it. Their aim was to break the bond between The Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court, diminishing the strength of our Eastern side. So, Master ordered me to take action and save Yaoji. For any offense caused, I ask for Master’s forgiveness." Primordial looked toward the West with a frown and said: "The Western Sect’s scheming, no wonder Zhunti volunteered to help me block Turquoise Pool." Bai Jin said: "Master, my Master instructed me to covertly save Yaoji, so now all beings of the Primordial World believe that Yaoji has perished under the Heavenly Rules, and the Heavenly Rules are maintained, foiling the planning of the Western Sect." "Your actions are still somewhat ordinate, so these Flat Peaches are to offer an apology." Bai Jin nodded again and again, saying: "Yes! My Master said that Master is magnanimous, and you would certainly not take such matters to heart, but only asked me to bring a basket of Flat Peaches to express the sentiment." Primordial nodded in satisfaction and said: "Hm! At least he knows some propriety, to haggle over this with him would only make me seem petty." Bai Jin joyfully bowed: "Master is magnanimous." Bai Jin stayed on Kunlun Mountain for over a month before finally returning to Golden Turtle Island. Biyou Palace’s door cracked open slightly, Bai Jin peeked his head through the crevice and called out cheerfully, "Master~" On the principal seat, Tongtian Sect Master said in a displeased tone: "Get in here!" Bai Jin pushed open the door and scurried in, laughing as he said: "Master, I have just returned from the Heavenly Court, and I’ve brought some of the Heavenly Court’s local specialties for you." A fruit basket appeared in his hands, packed full of Flat Peaches. Tongtian waved his hand and the Flat Peaches disappeared without a trace, eying Bai Jin suspiciously and said: "Yaoji has been saved?" Bai Jin ran up and sat on the steps, laughing merrily and saying: "Yes! It was all thanks to the mountain stone of Yujing Mountain bestowed by Master, otherwise how could your disciple have had the chance?" While speaking, he began to massage Tongtian’s legs. Tongtian said grumpily: "Don’t try to fool me, who was it that spoke so domineeringly and impressively before? Where is that domineering attitude now? Where is that charisma? What about the fame that was supposed to last an Infinite Calamity?!" Bai Jin immediately replied with a laugh: "Master, I have thought about it again, if we were too domineering and charismatic, wouldn’t it have just slapped Second Master in the face? And loudly at that, wouldn’t it be unkind to do so?" "Master, we’re all family, shouldn’t we leave some dignity for Second Master? It would be bad if Second Master got angry." Tongtian looked at Bai Jin and spoke with a chuckle: "Weren’t you the one who said a few days ago that I should completely overshadow Primordial?" Bai Jin nodded and honestly admitted: "Yes!" "And now you’re saying to be subtle and leave Primordial some face too?" "Um, yes! It’s your disciple~" Tongtian’s voice suddenly rose in volume and he said sternly: "It’s always you, do you think it’s fun to play with your Master?" Bai Jin hurriedly replied: "How would your disciple dare! Master, think about it! Disciple saving Yaoji would fool all the Immortal Gods, but could it possibly fool the Saints? Now all the Saints know of Master’s feat of overpowering Primordial, ignoring the will of Heaven – isn’t that very imposing and grand?" "Master, my covert intervention to save Yaoji is also to preserve Primordial’s dignity. While showing your might, it also makes us appear modest, doesn’t it?" "Do you really think so?" "Master, look at my sincere eyes." Bai Jin blinked his large eyes at Tongtian. Tongtian looked down at Bai Jin, but no matter how he looked, he saw a face brimming with mischief and kicked him out with a foot. "Ah~" A scream echoed as a shooting star spiraled up into the sky above Golden Turtle Island, and all the Jie Sect Disciples looked up at the sky, eyes filled with envy, oh the favoritism of the Master! An old voice suddenly echoed within Biyou Palace: "Tongtian, come to Shouyang Mountain for a gathering." Tongtian’s smile immediately vanished as he straightened up and adjusted his robes, and with a step, his figure disappeared instantly. Within the Tea Garden of Eight Sceneries Palace, Tongtian and Primordial stepped out from the void, glanced at each other, then both snorted and headed towards the tea trees. Taishang was sitting under a tea tree, looking at the two incompatible individuals, heaving a sigh of helplessness. Oh, how tiring it is to be the eldest brother! Primordial and Tongtian sat down beside the table, forming a triangle with Taishang. Taishang picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, slowly put down the pot, and the two cups of tea slid towards Primordial and Tongtian, stopping in front of them. Primordial picked up his teacup and sipped, expressionlessly putting the cup down, it tasted awful. Tongtian took a sip and frowned, asking, "What is this strange flavor?" Taishang, with a smile, said, "This is called Coiled Dragon Tea, a newly discovered type of tea tree, which has a unique flavor. Everything in the world is like this tea, some enjoy it, some are indifferent, and some detest it." Tongtian, with skepticism, said, "How could anyone like such a strange taste?" Taishang chuckled, "Bai Jin quite enjoys Coiled Dragon Tea; when he left, he even took two pounds of my treasured stash with him." Primordial asked, "Big brother, did you call us here because of Princess Yaoji’s matter?" Taishang replied, "I simply haven’t seen my two brothers for a long time and missed you terribly, so I invited you here today to meet up. As for Princess Yaoji’s issue, I’ve never interfered nor paid much attention to it; seems like it’s already concluded, hasn’t it?" Primordial turned to look at Tongtian, and Tongtian also turned toward Primordial, their gazes locking. Tongtian wore a smug smile, but in Primordial’s eyes, that was a conciliatory grin following an apology. Primordial too, revealed a smile, which to Tongtian seemed like a submissive and placating gesture. Primordial Venerable nodded and said, "Our younger brother has grown up and is now acting with restraint." Tongtian laughed heartily, thinking Second Brother is softening! Bai Jin’s approach was correct, it was indeed necessary to leave some dignity for Second Brother, and with that he laughed heartily, saying, "Second Brother, you’ve done well too, just slightly inferior to me." Primordial remained silent and pondered. He indeed had not detected the maneuvers of the Western Sect; was Tongtian hinting that I should be wary of the Western Sect? Taishang gently said, "Xuandu." Xuandu came up with a hot pot and placed it on the table, followed by many side dishes. Taishang added ingredients to the hot pot while saying with a smile, "Since leaving Kunlun Mountain, this is the first time we have dined together." Primordial, with a smile, said, "Yes! The hot pot was invented by Bai Jin. He said it’s a pot that symbolizes the reunion of a family." Taishang, too, nodded gently and chuckled, "The three of us gathered here, eating hot pot together is most fitting." Tongtian and Primordial began to help themselves to the food as well. Thirty years later, Primordial set down his chopsticks and said to Tongtian, "Younger brother, how do you plan to address the problems of your Jie Sect?" "My Jie Sect is doing very well!" Tongtian said nonchalantly. Primordial said sternly, "Your Jie Sect’s Destiny has been contaminated by your Disciples, and you still say it’s doing well?!" Primordial’s seriousness immediately sparked Tongtian’s rebellious spirit; he felt displeased and retorted, "I have my own plans." The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became tense again. Primordial stated sternly, "What plans could you possibly have? I advised you not to recruit so many disciples indiscriminately, but you would not listen. Bai Jin was there to help you, yet you ignored him. Now things have escalated to the worst possible state. What are you going to do now?" Tongtian Sect Master was silent and contemplative.
