Chapter 992: Chapter 309: Provocation_4
In the bedchamber of the Great Emperor Ziwei, there came the laughter of the Great Emperor Ziwei.
The guards at the door all knew very well that it must be the Great Saint bringing some good news again.
Every time the Great Saint brought good news, the Great Emperor Ziwei was always so happy.
Soon, the Tathagata Buddha entered inside.
They were discussing how to implement this plan.
Under the arrangement of Tathagata, they considered many aspects.
Even the Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t help but sigh, saying: “Tathagata Buddha, if you are willing to join the Daoist Sect and become a disciple of The Three Pure Ones, who in the Three Realms could compete with you for the title of Supreme? You are more suited to be the Supreme of the Three Realms than I am.”
The Tathagata Buddha smiled lightly but did not presume credit.
He was merely a subject, and what the Great Emperor Ziwei said, he could just listen to.
If he took it seriously, he really wouldn’t know how he’d end up dead.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong had returned to Huaguo Mountain.
The Primordial Phoenix and others had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Sun Wukong and the others return, the three immediately let out a sigh of relief.
However, their expressions were not so natural.
The Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the Origin Qilin were both very embarrassed; they had been extremely hostile to Sun Wukong.
Now facing Sun Wukong, as Supreme Beings of the Primordial himself, they actually sought reconciliation with future generations of living beings and even offered gifts. They felt as though they’d lost their dignity.
“No need for formalities, the three of you, please sit down.”
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, sitting at the head, entertaining them.
After exchanging glances, the three finally sat down.
“Great Saint, we come this time to apologize and hope to become friends with the Great Saint.”
The Origin Qilin, ultimately thicker-skinned, quickly adapted and spoke up.
Sun Wukong glanced at him, nodded, and said: “Origin Qilin, you’re joking, what’s this talk of apologizing or not? We’re already friends, though if friends can reciprocate, that would be even better.”
The Origin Qilin and the others immediately understood Sun Wukong’s meaning.
The Origin Qilin and the Lord of Heaven Ancestor directly took out forty boxes of treasures.
Though their hearts ached, their faces were full of smiles, not wanting Sun Wukong to see their pain.
Sun Wukong smiled and signaled Fan Yao to put them away.
The Primordial Phoenix also took out a few boxes, but not too many.
This time, it was just a gesture; she’d already bled heavily last time.
Sun Wukong understood this and naturally did not press the Primordial Phoenix further.
Fan Yao gleefully stored them away; these things were not ordinary.
Sufficient for Huaguo Mountain’s use for a long time, as the manager of internal affairs, she finally no longer needed to worry about resource shortages.
“Bring out the good wine.”
Sun Wukong shouted.
“Dear seniors, please don’t be formal; treat this place as your home. In the future, if you have time, feel free to come often, I welcome you greatly.”
Their lips twitched, knowing full well Sun Wukong’s meaning.
It’s not themselves he’s welcoming, but their treasures.
“Haha, certainly.”
“Definitely.”
“Rest assured, Great Saint, given time, we shall visit often.”
The three felt somewhat insincere, especially the Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the Origin Qilin, who simply wanted to leave immediately.
But doing so would clearly be inappropriate and would offend Sun Wukong.
The two ultimately did not do so.
After sharing a drink, the three then took their leave.
Watching them leave, Fan Yao couldn’t help but laugh and said: “Great Saint, I’m afraid they’ll never want to come again.”
“Haha, if they don’t come, we’ll invite them over.”
Fan Yao stood dumbfounded, her eyes wide with disbelief; is that even possible?
She looked admiringly at Sun Wukong, truly worthy of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the thickness of his face simply unmatched.
The Primordial Phoenix and others concealing themselves left Huaguo Mountain.
They were worried about being discovered by the Supreme of the Supreme Alliance and causing dissatisfaction among the Supremes within.
After all, their alliance’s ethos was to counter the Heavenly Court and The Three Pure Ones. In the end, they had taken the initiative to come over and reconciled with Sun Wukong.
If others knew, they would certainly be extremely dissatisfied.
Even possibly questioning them, or making a move against them wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.
This matter absolutely couldn’t be spread.
If it caused a stir known worldwide, they would be very embarrassed.
After all, they were one of the initiators of the Supreme Alliance.
“Oh right, go do something.”
Sun Wukong whispered a few words into Lu Dongbin’s ear.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Lu Dongbin’s eyes widened.
He asked with a face full of doubt: “Really want to do this?”
Nodding, Sun Wukong’s expression showed no hesitation.
Lu Dongbin smiled bitterly and said: “Meeting Great Saint, they really have run into misfortune.”
After speaking, he excused himself and went to the Heavenly Court.
Sun Wukong smiled, for they wanted to be fence-sitters.
To be fence-sitters, it’s not so simple.
“What did the Great Saint have Lu Dongbin do?”
Nu Ba asked with curiosity.
Seeing Sun Wukong’s mischievous look, Nu Ba thought Sun Wukong probably didn’t have good intentions.
The Primordial Phoenix and others might be in trouble.
Sure enough, Sun Wukong laughed and said: “Nothing much, just had Lu Dongbin inform Ziwei to let the Heavenly Court spread the matter of the Primordial Phoenix and others seeking reconciliation, and simultaneously set them as benchmarks for other Supremes to learn from.”
Nu Ba: “…”
She gazed at Sun Wukong strangely.
That’s too insidious, isn’t it?
Once done, the Primordial Phoenix and others’ situations would become awkward.
And, among the Supremes of the Primordial, there probably wouldn’t be anyone who trusts them anymore.
