678: Chapter 250 Great Emperor_2 678: Chapter 250 Great Emperor_2 “You seem to have a good relationship with the Primordial Qilin,” Wukong spoke.
“It’s entirely different from what I expected.
I never thought that the Ancestral Dragon would actually co to the rescue of the Primordial Qilin.
I even assud that you’d prefer to see the Qilin killed.”
The Ancestral Dragon gave a wry smile and said, “Wukong, I know you must be dissatisfied with what I did just now, but all I can tell you is that I simply don’t want to see the number of old friends from the Primordial era dwindling.
Do you believe ?”
“Oh, I understand now.
Thanks for your help earlier,” Wukong replied, smiling faintly as he thanked the Ancestral Dragon.
The Ancestral Dragon knew that Wukong didn’t believe his words.
He took a deep breath, cupped his hands toward Wukong, and turned to leave.
Watching the Ancestral Dragon’s departing figure, Fan Yao couldn’t help but say, “Great Saint, that Ancestral Dragon isn’t very reliable.”
Nu Ba also said, “Indeed, I always feel that this Ancestral Dragon is actually more dangerous than the Primordial Qilin.
Great Saint, you must be careful and not be deceived by him.”
Upon hearing their warnings, a flash of understanding crossed Wukong’s eyes.
He nodded and said with a smile, “Even if you hadn’t ntioned it, I would have been aware.
I’ve never let my guard down around the Ancestral Dragon.
In my heart, he’s a person more dangerous than the Primordial Qilin.”
Both won were taken aback, then realizing Wukong’s intelligence, they imdiately understood that their worries were unnecessary.
After all, if they could think of it, Wukong as the person involved would certainly not overlook it.
Realizing this, they smiled.
“Great Saint, as long as you are aware, then we’re no longer worried that you’ll be fooled,” Nu Ba said, smiling.
At her words, Wukong couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.
He proclaid arrogantly, “The person capable of deceiving has yet to be born.”
Seeing his confidence, Nu Ba and Fan Yao exchanged smiles; the Great Saint was indeed very self-assured.
Before long, soone ca looking for Wukong.
This person was none other than Taotie.
He was extrely cautious, concealing himself as if he feared being discovered by soone.
Only after entering Huaguo Mountain did Taotie let his guard down.
He looked dejected as he called out to Wukong, “Brother, I’ve co to see you.
Let’s have so good food and drinks.”
Wukong was quite hospitable to Taotie.
His relationship with the mbers of the Dragon Clan was really quite good.
Wukong asked Fan Yao to prepare food and drinks.
Soon, Fan Yao brought over a sumptuous spread, placing it before the two of them.
Taotie drained his cup of Monkey Wine in one gulp and then looked like he had a lot on his mind.
“Taotie, you didn’t co to just for the sake of drinking, did you?” Wukong asked with a smile.
Looking at Taotie’s deanor, it was clear that he had sothing on his mind, and it wasn’t just about drinking.
Taotie glanced at Wukong, nodded, and then said in a subdued voice, “My father the Ancestral Dragon has returned.”
Wukong, of course, didn’t know this, and he didn’t understand why Taotie was emphasizing it so.
Was there perhaps another aning to the return of the Ancestral Dragon?
Wukong stared at Taotie, not saying anything.
Seeing that Wukong remained silent, Taotie didn’t mind.
He continued to drink quietly, but soon, he blurted out another sentence: “He’s not my father, Wukong, don’t believe him.”
Sothing stirred in Wukong’s heart; this must be the ssage Taotie wanted to convey.
But clearly, the Ancestral Dragon was who he claid to be, even Ao Zhan had confird it, so why was Taotie saying the Ancestral Dragon wasn’t his father?
There must be reasons unknown to others.
Before Wukong could inquire further, right then, Taotie, apparently drunk, slumped over and fell asleep in front of Wukong.
Looking at his state, it seed he had downed several jars of Monkey Wine.
Not to ntion Taotie, even a formidable figure like the Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t withstand drinking so heavily.
Nu Ba asked curiously, “Great Saint, what did Taotie an by that?”
She was sowhat curious; Taotie’s words, coming right after his arrival and drinking the wine, left everyone utterly puzzled.
Wukong just smiled and said, “How would I know?
Maybe Taotie simply drank too much and was talking nonsense.”
After speaking, Wukong waved his hand lightly.
Taotie disappeared from his sight as Wukong sent him off to rest in the Water Curtain Cave.
He looked out at the world with a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, murmuring, “This world is becoming more and more interesting.”
Nu Ba may not have understood Wukong’s implications, but she knew that Taotie’s visit was about more than just the drink.
Wukong had seen sothing in him.
And Taotie had co to tell Wukong sothing, which was why he had approached.
Neither of them, however, made their thoughts clear.
Yet, there seed to be an unspoken understanding between the two, as if what needed to be known was already known.
Nu Ba’s gaze flickered with suspicion back and forth between the two, but ultimately, she held back her words.
If the Great Saint said there was nothing to it, then there was nothing to it.
As for the rest, she stopped asking.
Fan Yao had been preparing things, but upon hearing that Taotie was already drunk, she couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
“No way, does Taotie really have such a low tolerance?”
“I thought he could drink with the Great Saint for three days and nights!”
“It seems a man can’t be judged by his appearance; Taotie didn’t seem like soone who would pass out from one drink,” Fan Yao remarked with a sigh.
Wukong was sowhat speechless, but eventually couldn’t help laughing and said, “It’s unfortunate, but he’s indeed a lightweight.
Alright, let’s not talk too much about this; we’ll enjoy the food ourselves.”
