619: Chapter 217: Powerful yet Poor 619: Chapter 217: Powerful yet Poor Li Ping’an lay on the steps of the throne in the main hall of Azure Wander Palace, his face calm and his breathing deep.
“Ying.”
Mother Guiling knelt on the ground with her legs together, her eyes brimming with tears, her small mouth puckered, and her little face bearing a mix of reluctance and grievance.
The youthful-looking Tongtian Sect Leader sat on the steps, sowhat listlessly raising his hand to his forehead.
At this mont, there were only seven or eight figures in the main hall of Azure Wander Palace, all of whom were standing to one side were core experts from the Jie Sect.
The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn’t help but complain,
“This is Li Ping’an!
The newly erged prospective Heavenly Emperor!
His father is a Great Fate Holder!
And right after your grand-teacher showed him goodwill, you knocked him unconscious and brought him here!
If you’ve hurt him and foiled your grand-teacher’s plans…
When I get scolded, I’m definitely dragging you into it too!”
Mother Guiling argued righteously, “It was you who told to capture him.”
“Didn’t you invite him over already?”
The Tongtian Sect Leader bellowed in anger,
“When I opened the Cloud Mirror to see you, you were inviting him over quite graciously, and I was quite pleased.
“I turned my head to praise you to your brother, and within monts, you went straight for the underhanded move!
“Who taught you to trick and deceive like this?
Huh!
“Do you have so other master behind my back?
Huh!”
Mother Guiling’s petite body shuddered a few tis; she lowered her head and pouted, not answering any further.
Taoist Duobao smiled naively and said in a warm voice, “Master, Guiling was just being careless.”
“Careless?!
Careless enough to beat soone into this state?
Thankfully, you didn’t do any serious damage, such a fragile mber of the Human Race, and you’re all so heavy-handed!”
The Tongtian Sect Leader glared and scolded,
“This is the prospective Heavenly Emperor your grand-teacher and second grand-teacher have taken a liking to!
What’s your grand-teacher’s temperant?
And how petty is your second grand-teacher’s heart!
“Duobao, you prepare a few treasures as an apology to the prospective Heavenly Emperor.”
“Ah!” Taoist Duobao clutched at his waist pouch, “Master, you can’t do this!
If Guiling did wrong, you can’t compensate with a disciple’s treasures!”
The Tongtian Sect Leader rebuked angrily, “Are you saving your tens of thousands of Spiritual Treasures to breed little treasures?”
“Those are treasures that I painstakingly dug up one by one since the ancient tis.
In any case, I won’t give them.”
Taoist Duobao stepped back half a step, muttering,
“The prospective Heavenly Emperor is only in the True Immortal Realm now, does he need Spiritual Treasures?
“Didn’t you see him during Magical Combat?
When facing a powerful foe, all he needs to say is ‘when I am the Heavenly Emperor,’ and then divine lightning hamrs down from the sky, so what does he need treasures for?”
The Tongtian Sect Leader thought carefully, and indeed his eldest disciple had a point.
He looked irritatedly at the unconscious Li Ping’an, stood up and paced back and forth, with much contemplation in his eyes.
Mother Guiling whispered, “Master, how about I erase a bit of his mory…”
The Tongtian Sect Leader cursed,
“You think he can’t directly check the Heavenly Dao?
The Heavenly Dao listens to him!
“Little Guiling, what am I to do with you!
“I thought you, like Jin Ling and Yun Xiao, had matured and knew how to handle things, but no, you had to go ahead and stir up a big ss!
“He recognizes your second grand-teacher as his great-grand-teacher, and your second grand-teacher even wounded Jie Yin on his behalf, your second grand-teacher’s ancient friendship with Jie Yin was profound, think how important he is in your second grand-teacher’s heart!
“If your second grand-teacher finds out and cos to lecture together with your grand-teacher, whom can I argue with?
Can I, the leader of the Jie Sect, still have any dignity?
“They haven’t scolded for three cycles now, and I’ve been extrely careful, fearing any mistake!
You!
”
Mother Guiling hung her head and sighed.
Her own master was junior in ranking and always being lectured, what could she, as a disciple, do about it.
In ancient tis, because of her master being lectured, they had argued with their second senior brother, directly leading to the severe consequence of the Three Pure Ones splitting apart.
“Master,” Jinling Saint Mother frowned and said, “Little sister was just doing as you said, capturing him and bringing him back.
You shouldn’t talk to her like that.”
Mother Guiling pursed her lips, “Exactly.”
“Alright, alright!”
The Tongtian Sect Leader swept his sleeve,
“Yun Xiao, Long-ear!”
Yun Xiao the Immortal and Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, who had been holding back their laughter, stepped forward with a bow.
Yun Xiao the Immortal was a burly middle-aged man with graying hair and a dignified face who bowed and said, “What are your orders, Sect Hierarch?”
Long-eared Dingguang Immortal was an elderly man in a colorful robe with notably conspicuous rabbit ears, who said with a smile, “Your servant is here.”
As attendants to an immortal, they were well aware:
In the Jie Sect, second-generation disciples could be close with their master without formalities, but others should never be disrespectful to the Sect Hierarch.
How did they co to serve the Seven Immortals?
They were subdued in the ancient and early tis.
The Tongtian Sect Leader instructed, “Go and stand guard outside the hall.
If my second senior brother or grand-teacher cos by, tell them I’m taking a bath.”
“Yes, Sect Hierarch.”
“This servant obeys.”
The two figures turned and left.
Afterward, the Tongtian Sect Leader beckoned, signaling his four Inner Sect Disciples to co closer to him.
“Co over, closer…
Smile, do you know what that ans?
Jin Ling, don’t keep such a straight face, smile.
Think about Gongming giving you the Green Duckweed Sword as a token of affection.
Right, no matter what happens, you must smile.
“If he doesn’t bring up being knocked unconscious, you all don’t say anything.
“If he starts crying and clamoring to tell our grand-teachers, let’s just bite the bullet and erase his recent mory, and I will disrupt the Heavenly Dao with the Green Duckweed Sword.
Understood?”
All four major disciples nodded in unison.
So, the Tongtian Sect Leader and his four major disciples leaned in close to Li Ping’an, revealing a ‘friendly and amiable’ smile.
Taoist Duobao cautiously pointed a finger.
Li Ping’an frowned, and unable to use his Immortal Consciousness at the mont, he slowly opened his eyes.
