Silver Horn Child’s face changed, and he exclaid in shock: "The Master’s wife?!"
He hurriedly trotted forward, perford a respectful bow and said, "I did not know Mother was here, please forgive ."
Tu Shan Xiyu sternly asked, "Where is Li Er?"
Silver Horn Child gestured with his hand and said with a flattering smile, "Mother, please co with , I will take you to the Master. I personally saw him enter the underground chamber and he has not co out since."
Silver Horn Child imdiately turned into a groveling sycophant, bent at the waist with a smile, leading Tu Shan Xiyu towards the side courtyard.
...
In an underground chamber of the Doushuai Temple, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, his expression changing several tis, eventually he deeply sighed.
Ah~ They must have left by now! Perhaps I indeed should have gone out to et Xi Yu, he thought sowhat dazedly.
Boom~
The door to the chamber opened, and several figures stood in front of it, with Tu Shan Xiyu leading.
Lord Lao Zi’s eyes suddenly widened, his heart thumping violently. How did she... how did she find this place?
Beside him, Silver Horn chuckled, "Mother, didn’t I tell you? The Master really is inside the chamber, I saw him enter the passage with my own eyes."
A glimr of excitent flashed through Tu Shan Xiyu’s eyes, then she regained her composure and said, "Bai Jin, Silver Horn, you both leave first."
Bai Jin flashed a friendly smile at Lord Lao Zi and then left with Silver Horn.
The chamber door bood shut.
Lord Lao Zi quietly swallowed, his heart filled with nervousness, barely squeezing out a smile.
Tu Shan Xiyu slowly walked towards Lord Lao Zi, transforming with each step; her lush black hair turned silver, wrinkles appeared on her smooth skin, and in a blink, she transford from a beautiful young girl into an elderly, frail woman, holding a withered wooden dragon-headed cane.
Lord Lao Zi’s expression montarily beca dazed, as if he had been transported back to the days in the mortal world, to that small fenced yard of the past.
Regaining his senses, Lord Lao Zi couldn’t help but speak, "Xi Yu, I didn’t intentionally avoid you."
"Bai Jin said you had your reasons, now give your explanation."
"We agreed to only have a bond for one lifeti back in the mortal world."
Tu Shan Xiyu, unflinching, calmly said, "Yes! And I have not finished this lifeti yet!"
Lord Lao Zi’s eyes widened. Your lifeti? Your lifeti could extend to the Infinite Calamity.
"Give another explanation!"
"Actually..."
"Actually..."
Lord Lao Zi’s Primordial Spirit rapidly spun, searching for an excuse. Should he say he had an incurable demonic disease? Or pretend he had mory loss and had just rembered everything?
Tu Shan Xiyu’s expression darkened, and she spoke coldly, "Since you have no explanation, I assu that you have been ensnared by a Goddess of the Heavenly Court!"
"I absolutely have not! Do not slander ."
Bang~
Bang~
Bang~
Intense fighting noises emanated from the chamber, accompanied by fierce shouts.
Elsewhere, Bai He and Silver Horn walked shoulder to shoulder out of the tunnel.
Outside, Golden Horn and Big Horned Bull stood.
Bai Jin chuckled and said, "Well done! You’ve all grown up, even daring to deceive ."
Golden Horn Child bowed and with a crying face said, "Elder Brother, we had to follow the Master’s orders!"
Big Horned Bull also stood up straight, its front hooves together, giving a respectful bow twice, and said in a buzzing voice, "I feel that getting angry makes it easy for the Heavenly Demons to take advantage."
"I have Dao Heart Perfection, my True Spirit is without blemish, I am not afraid of the Heavenly Demons!
Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore, I have done all that should be done, let’s go!" Bai Jin flicked his sleeve robe and left gracefully.
Golden Horn respectfully said, "Elder brother, walk slowly!"
"Moo moo~"
Bai Jin floated away into the distance.
Golden Horn stood up straight, and Big Horned Bull put its hooves down and lay down.
Silver Horn said proudly, "You all don’t know that the master was in seclusion in the secret chamber, do you? It was I who led the old mother to find the master, this rit is mine."
"Ah~" Sighed Golden Horn Child, he looked at Silver Horn with pity and turned away.
"Moo~" Big Horned Bull lowered its head and gave a muffled moo, shook its head, and slowly walked away.
"Hey~ what’s with that expression? Explain it to clearly." Silver Horn Child imdiately chased after Golden Horn Child.
...
On the other side, Bai Jin returned to the Bird’s Nest with a smile on his face.
Now, within the Bird’s Nest, the Law Enforcent Team and Judicial Celestial had dispersed, leaving only Shi Ji and Yun Xiao cleaning up.
Bai Jin laughed and said, "The two Junior Sisters have worked hard."
Yun Xiao got up, brushed her forehead hair strands behind her ears, and said with a smile, "It’s not hard, this is what we ssed up."
Shi Ji also got up and asked, "Elder brother, has the mother t the Master?"
Bai Jin gestured with his hand and said with a smile, "Please sit down as we talk."
The three of them sat down on stone chairs nearby, and both Yun Xiao and Shi Ji looked curiously at Bai Jin.
Bai Jin said with a smile, "Initially, the Master was avoiding the mother, but in the end, they t. Perhaps this is destiny willed by the heavens!"
Shi Ji asked puzzledly, "Why would the Master avoid the mother? Elder brother, please tell us, what exactly happened?"
"Alright," Bai Jin narrated the happenings inside Doushuai Temple in detail, vividly and interestingly, and the two listeners were engrossed, with laughter occasionally coming from the Bird’s Nest.
Bai Jin finally took a sip of tea and said, "That’s roughly what happened."
Yun Xiao and Shi Ji also organized the information they learned within their Primordial Spirits, and everything beca clear.
Shi Ji worriedly said, "Elder brother, the Master didn’t want to see the mother, but you still took her to Doushuai Temple and even found the Master, wouldn’t this make the Master angry?"
Yun Xiao also said, "Elder brother, you were sowhat reckless this ti."
Bai Jin said with a laugh, "Don’t worry! During the battle in the West Sea, as soon as the mother was slightly in danger, our Master imdiately activated his Magic Treasure to assist, which shows that the Master is not an unfeeling person.
In the Master’s heart, he must still care for the mother; it’s just that right now the Master is a bit pretentious about his identity, with the mother’s persuasion, the Master will surely see through this and then beco a couple of divine immortals."
Yun Xiao worriedly said, "What if the Master can’t see through this! At that ti, elder brother, you will be in trouble."
A thought flashed in Bai Jin’s mind, that’s right, just in case, for safety’s sake, I must find a couple more substantial shields.
Bai Jin thought for a mont and said, "Two Junior Sisters, I have a favor to ask of you."
Yun Xiao crisply said, "Elder brother, just say it."
"Please keep an eye on Doushuai Temple at all tis; if the mother cos out from Doushuai Temple, I’d like you two Junior Sisters to take her back and take care of her."
"Elder brother, rest assured!"
Shi Ji hurriedly said, "That’s right, elder brother, you better run, leave Heavenly Court to us, just be at ease, we will definitely take good care of the mother."
Bai Jin raised his head, chest out, speaking righteously, "Run? Why would I engage in such a cowardly act?"
Shi Ji blinked and realized, "Right, not running away, but going to see poetry and distant places, elder brother, you should go out and clear your mind, go now~ hurry~"
