Guards, Show Him Out!

True Person Taiyi almost thought he was hallucinating.

He looked at Li Jing with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Li Jing actually rejected him?

He rejected a Golden Immortal from the Clarify Sect and a disciple of Saint?

Just because he said a few words to that Human Emperor?

True Person Taiyi flew into a rage, pointed at Li Jing, and trembled with anger.

"Li Jing, do you know what you're saying?"

"What you are rejecting is not this humble monk."

"It is the Clarify Sect."

"He is Saint!"

"They are disciples of Saint!"

"Such an extraordinary opportunity is something others could only dream of for several lifetimes!"

"I personally delivered this opportunity to your residence, and you dare to refuse it?"

"Do you know that by doing this, you're depriving your son of the opportunity to become a disciple of Saint!"

"You actually discarded him like trash for the sake of a mere mortal emperor?"

"Foolish! Utterly foolish!"

"Li Jing, I will give you another chance, out of consideration for your ignorance. Take back what you just said, and I will forgive and forget."

Li Jing looked at him coldly.

"Of course I know."

"It is good to be a disciple of Saint, but my son already has a teacher."

"In my opinion, the glory of my son Nezha being able to become a disciple of the current Human Emperor far surpasses that of joining any immortal sect!"

"As for the Zaohua the immortal spoke of..."

Li Jing twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.

"Our Li Family has always been loyal and righteous, receiving salaries from the Great Shang Dynasty and guarding Great Shang Dynasty territory. This is the greatest Zaohua have ever had."

"Li Family appreciate the immortal's kindness, but we cannot accept it."

"Li Jing! Don't be so ungrateful!" True Person Taiyi shouted angrily.

"If it weren't for the fact that your two sons, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, are also disciples of my Clarify Sect, I would have..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jing interrupted him.

"There's no need for you to say anything more, Immortal Master."

Li Jing's expression grew even colder.

"I've only been talking so much nonsense with you, Immortal Master, because of Jin Zha and Mu Zha."

"Otherwise, based on your disrespectful remarks to the King just now, I, Li Jing, would have already arrested you and brought you to justice!"

"Immortal, you should leave on your own. Let's not make a scene, or it will be bad for both of us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jing didn't give True Person Taiyi a chance to speak again and shouted loudly towards the door.

"Someone, show them out!"

The voice was loud and clear, penetrating the entire front hall.

True Person Taiyi was thoroughly enraged by the words "send the guest out." As one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, how could he have ever suffered such humiliation?

Kicked out of the house by a mere mortal?

Outside the door, the butler strode in, naturally discerning the attitude in his Old Master's words.

So he made a "please" gesture to True Person Taiyi, his attitude was still respectful, but his meaning was very clear.

"Immortal Master, please."

True Person Taiyi was so angry that he laughed, pointing at Li Jing with his finger trembling.

"Well done! Li Jing is truly remarkable!"

"What blind fools! Utterly idiotic!"

"Instead of following the Great Dao of the Saint, you insist on making your son take a mortal emperor as his master and learn some kind of Martial Path!"

You'll regret it! You'll definitely regret it!

Li Jing completely ignored his roar and simply added another harsher remark to the steward.

"See a visitor out!"

Having received the order, the steward gained courage and stepped forward, directly blocking True Person Taiyi and Li Jing.

"Immortal Master, if you don't leave soon, I'll have to call the guards."

Guards?

Should we send mortal guards to deal with him?

True Person Taiyi felt he had suffered an unprecedented humiliation.

He flicked his sleeves, his anger finding no outlet.

"Utterly foolish!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

If he stayed any longer, he feared he wouldn't be able to control himself and would go on a killing spree here, even at the cost of incurring karmic Karma.

The steward dared not neglect him and escorted the furious Daoist priest all the way to the gate of the mansion.

Li Residence.

True Person Taiyi, who had been kicked out, was still completely dazed.

Utter disgrace!

He turned around abruptly, staring intently at the vermilion gate that had just closed in front of him.

The Li Residence!

Very good!

How dare a mere mortal treat him like this!

He is a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun!

He was Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect!

Whoever he chooses to take as his disciple is an immense Zaohua for that person, and they should kneel down in gratitude!

reject?

You dare to have him kicked out?

"Li Jing..."

True Person Taiyi squeezed out these two words through gritted teeth, the killing intent contained within almost solidifying into a tangible form.

He desperately wanted to rush in right now and take away the apprentice who should have been his.

But reason told him that it wouldn't work.

The grand formation within Chaoge City suppresses all Magic Power.

Unless he wants to wage war against the entire Human Clan, there's really nothing he can do about Li Jing.

"Snort!"

True Person Taiyi forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart; he couldn't let it go like this.

Absolutely not!

The master personally issued Imperial Edict to accept disciples, but now it has been intercepted by a Human Emperor and a mortal.

If he were to slink back to Kunlun Mountain like this, how could he explain it to his master?

Where does that leave True Person Taiyi's face?

Where does this leave the face of the Clarify Sect?

"The Human Emperor... Di Xin..."

True Person Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He now finally understood that the root of all this did not lie with Li Jing, but with That One high and mighty Human Emperor.

It was That One Human Emperor who ruined his plans!

How dare a mortal emperor lay his hands on a disciple chosen by Saint?

Really... courting death!

True Person Taiyi stood on the street, his mind racing as he pondered a solution.

Forcing it won't work.

Giving up is even worse.

Since that's the case...

An idea slowly took shape in his mind.

You won't let my apprentice come with me, but you still want him to become your disciple?

good.

very good.

True Person Taiyi suddenly laughed.

That smile was icy, devoid of any warmth.

He took one last look at the gate of the Li Residence, then turned and walked towards the palace.

He was going to meet That One so-called Human Emperor.

He wanted to ask him face to face what gave him the right to steal his disciple from the Clarify Sect!

He didn't believe that a mortal emperor would dare to oppose their Clarify Sect.

Li Jing calmed himself down and stepped into the inner courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Lady Yin holding Nezha, waiting there with a worried expression.

"Old Master, what happened in the front hall just now? I think I heard arguing."

Lady Yin came forward and asked softly.

Li Jing walked to her side and looked at the little one in his wife's arms, who was looking around with wide, dark eyes. The coldness on his face instantly turned into tenderness.

He reached out and gently stroked Nezha's nose.

"Fine."

"A foolish Daoist priest is trying to steal our son as his disciple."

Li Jing said it casually.

Lady Yin was startled upon hearing this and quickly hugged Nezha even tighter.

"Stealing a disciple? Is he an immortal?"

"Yes, according to him, he comes from Kunlun Mountain and is some kind of True Person from the Clarify Sect."

Li Jing briefly recounted what had just happened.

When she heard that the True Person Taiyi dared to belittle the Human Emperor and even asked Li Jing to relinquish his master-disciple relationship, Lady Yin frowned.

"This immortal is utterly Dao Lecture."

"Yes," Li Jing sighed.

"These reclusive people, used to being high and mighty, always think that everything in the world should go according to their wishes."

"Although that man has a prestigious reputation, he is dishonest and his words are extremely disrespectful to Your the King."

"If Nezha Human Sect like this, even if he learned a great deal of skill, he would definitely become a rebellious son who disrespects his father and ruler."

Lady Yin patted Nezha on the back and said with some concern.

"Old Master, by simply kicking him out like this, won't you... offend them?"

"After all, Jin Zha and Mu Zha are still under their tutelage."

It's alright.

Li Jing waved his hand, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Now, my whole family is in Chaoge, receiving the King."

"If I had to choose between the King and the Clarify Sect, I, Li Jing, would not hesitate for a moment."

"If the Clarify Sect makes things difficult for Jin Zha and Mu Zha over such a trivial matter, then they might as well not go to the Saint's fold!"

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Lady Yin said no more and simply nodded.

However, the unease in her heart lingered.
