Chapter 187: Be Reasonable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Emperor Wu Hong, our Invincible Sect has all along been on good terms with Feng Tian continent. The batch of immortal seeds that you sent us is really good. Shen Ying had also specially reminded us to thank you. We sincerely wish to be friends with you.”
“I agree, Fellow Immortal!”
“Even little Xuan Tong keeps talking about wanting to see her two emperor uncles. This is due to providence! Since we’re also in the same realm, we should value our special relationship, don’t you think so?”
“I agree, Fellow Immortal!”
“Our Invincible Sect might not a big immortal sect but we have a set of rules that we abide by. All our sect disciples all friendly people, we don’t look for trouble but we don’t shy away from it either.”
“I agree, Fellow Immortal!”
“We can’t interfere with who your highness choose to make friends with, but as the saying goes, ‘Choosing the right friend is as important as choosing the right way of cultivation. Don’t mix with bad company!”
“I agree, Fellow Immortal!”
“Actually, as an emperor, it doesn’t matter if your interpersonal relationship is poor. Nobody can do anything to you except for one person. Why bring trouble on yourself?”
“I agree, Fellow Immortal!”
“As for that matter that Emperor Bai Ti spoke about, the circumstances were like this: Shen Ying captured a fox demon burglar that broke into our sect. We discovered the words ‘Xin Han’ on her body. We wanted to investigate the matter but Bai Ti attacked us on sight and imprisoned us inside the clock. I’m sure you know... we in the Invincible Sect dislike unreasonable people.”
“I agree, Fellow Immortal!”
“So it was not our wish to break the clock or fight with you. Do you agree?”
“I agree, Fellow Immortal!”
I understand everything that you’re saying but... why did you beat me up as well! You said you were reasonable people but why did you keep punching me on the face?
The worse thing was he did not dare retaliate!
(ಥ_ಥ)
“Regarding today’s incident...”
“It’s my fault!” Wu Hong nodded his head vigorously. “I made the wrong friend.”
“Your highness is indeed a sensible person. Then...” Just as Lonemoon was about to bring up the crucial matter of compensation...
Splash! A figure in green crashed into the pond beside them. It was Bai Ti. He had been given a good beating by Yi Qing. Reining in his immortal qi, Yi Qing descended to the ground.
Then...
Yi Qing turned to look at Wu Hong, who was kneeling by the side.
“You...”
Wu Hong’s shivered. Without waiting for Yi Qing to make his move, he raised his hand and said imploringly, “Fellow Immortal, hold on. I get it! I get it!”
Wu Hong got up and walked quickly to the edge of the pond. Then he ‘fell’ into the pond with a splash.
Yi Qing, who had not intended to beat him up: “...”
Lonemoon, who had just wanted to extort a few immortal stones from him: “...”
Having an overly cooperative team mate was not a good thing either.
****
He Yun Place, Tian Zhao continent.
Shen Ying, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to doze off.
“Hey, Chicken...”
An aggrieved look appeared on Chu Xuan’s face. So his name was Chicken now?
“Chicken here!”
“Are you sure you know the way?” Shen Ying looked at the ruins of the palace in front of her.
“I’m definite, Exalted Goddess. This is the He Yun Palace in Tian Zhao continent. Bai Ti lives here.”
“Oh, but we’ve been waiting here for three hours. Will that White-Chicken-or-something really return?”
“...” His name is Bai Ti!
“Bai Ti is not in the palace. Even Ji Zhe doesn’t know where he has gone to. So, it’s best that we stay here.”
“Whose Ji Zhe?”
“Exalted Goddess...” Chu Xuan’s mouth twitched. Pointing at her feet, he said, “The one you’re stepping now on is Emperor Ji Zhe from the Chang Nuo continent.”
Weren’t you the one who caught him from the neighboring continent and beat him up after learning from the immortal officials that Bai Ti might have gone to look for Emperor Ji Zhe? Don’t give the excuse you can’t remember him just because you haven’t given him a nickname.
“Oh.” Shen Ying removed her leg and sat down lazily on top of a stone.
Hai... How long more did she have to wait?
She was hungry.
——————
A day later.
In the rear hall of Invincible Sect.
Smoke rose slowly from the stove in the back kitchen. The wooden table at the inner courtyard was covered with plates of delicious smelling food. Surprisingly, Shen Ying was the only one sitting at the table today. She was busily demolishing the food.
There were a dozen people more in the inner courtyard, four of them were sitting on the wooden bench, their positions erect and their hands placed primly on their laps.
These were the four celestial emperors.
None of them spoke, the whole courtyard was filled with the munching sounds.
Bai Ti: “...”This is really scary. That sword cultivator who beat me up is carving meat. This must be a threat of some kind.
Ji Zhe: “...” “This is really scary. That exalted goddess who beat me up is eating meat. Is this a threat?
Wu Hong: “This is really scary. Exalted Goddess looks likes she’s still hungry. I hope she’s not thinking of eating me?
Chu Xuan: “...” This is really scary. Wait a moment... Why should he be scared?
“Chu Xuan! Why are you sitting there?” Lonemoon glared at Chu Xuan, who was sitting at the leftmost corner.
Chu Xuan paused to think of a reason. That’s right. He had not done anything wrong why should he sit there?
Σ(°△°|||)
Shit! He had been so used to doing sitting as equals with the ten celestial emperors that he had sat down reflexively.
○| ̄|_
Chu Xuan sat up immediately and stood beside Lonemoon. He picked up the white fox in passing and tossed it on the bench.
“Jiao...” Bai Ti looked pained and was about to reach out his hands to hug the fox. However, he thought the better of it and sat back down.
“Tell me. How do the four of you intend to resolve this matter?” Lonemoon rolled his eyes and gave Shen Ying a push. “We’re dealing with a serious matter here! Sit over there. Don’t get in the way.”
Taken aback, Shen Ying got up but she found that all the other chairs had already been moved to the defendants’ side. There were no chairs at the side.
“Exalted Goddess, I have a chair here!” Chu Xuan’s eyes brightened. He reached into his storage bag, he fished out a chair and told Shen Ying, “Please take a seat.”
“Thank you” Shen Ying sat down and resumed eating without a care.
Yi Qing, who had intended to move a chair over: “...” The little bugger!
Chu Xuan: Huh! Why did he feel a cold draft on his back?
“Exalted Immortal! Fellow Immortals, this is a misunderstanding!” Ji Zhe, who was the most badly beaten up among the group, exclaimed, “Bai Jiao is Emperor Bai Ti’s only daughter. Because she had missing for a long time, Emperor Bai went to look for her. I happened to meet him along the way. I don’t know him well at all!”
Bai Ti: “...” The spineless rascal!
Glaring at Ji Zhe, Bai Ti cupped his fists in apology. “It was indeed my fault! I saw you carrying Jiao Jiao and she was injured. So I thought you.... In a moment of panic, I attacked you. By the time I realized my mistake, you were already inside the immortal artifact. That was why... Now that it has come to this, I’ll accept whatever you have in store for me.” The main thing was he could not defeat them!
“Me too, Exalted.... Exalted Goddess!” Ji Zhe expressed his stand immediately. As long as he was not beaten to death, he was even willing to give up his throne!
Wu Hong: “I...” Looking at the other two defendants, he subconsciously raised his hands. “But I... I didn’t do anything!”
(゚Д゚≡゚Д゚)
“If Fellow Immortal agrees to release me and my daughter, we from Bai Zhao will be able to do it all!”
“I don’t want to leave!” Before he could finish his sentence, the fox demon beside him suddenly spoke up.
