It's Not That Senior Brother Overthought It, but That I Didn't Think Enough

"You three, come here and greet your two senior uncles..."

After bringing Hao and Yao back to Purple Jade Mountain and onto the sled, Wu Chu had them greet Miss Houtu and the Houtu. Then, he had the three little ones come over and pay their respects to the two.

The three of them were naturally aware that their master had a master, because after they became disciples, Wu Chu had taken them to the wooden Puppet and asked them to pay their respects to their grandmaster. Therefore, they had naturally heard about these two uncles.

Seeing the three little ones, Hao couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Senior brother, you've already taken on disciples?"

"Didn't Master tell you?" Wu Chu blinked.

Hao and Yao silently shook their heads.

"Disciple Huanglong (Feng Yi, Di Kun) pays respects to my two senior uncles!"

The three little ones obediently knelt down before them.

Hao and Yao exchanged a glance, then took out several Spirit Treasure from their sleeves and bestowed them upon them, saying, "Get up! Cultivate diligently with your master, and your future will be limitless."

Hao offered them a word of encouragement, and Yao laughed, "So that's why Master casually gave us several Spirit Treasure when we left! They were for our three junior disciples!"

The Spirit Treasure were all Upper-Grade Spirit Treasure, and all of them were Innate. Compared to the gifts bestowed upon him by his master and his two uncles, they were much better.

Little Yellow Dragon glanced at Wu Chu, then took the Spirit Treasure first, saying, "Thank you, my two senior uncles!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng Yi and Little Qilin accepted the Spirit Treasure and then expressed their gratitude.

After kicking them off the bus and going off to play, Yao was pulled away by Qingqiu Li and the others to Mahjong, while Wu Chu chatted with Hao, and the Little Fox brewed tea on the side.

"Master has not gone into seclusion, so how come you two have time to come over?"

Hao smiled and said, "Master said that while the Three Clans are at peace now, it's a good time for us to go into seclusion for a while, so we thought we'd come and visit you, Senior Brother. But, so many years have passed, and Senior Brother's cultivation has already reached the Taiyi Realm. Why don't you come to Jade Capital Mountain to see Master?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu coughed lightly. He couldn't very well tell him, "I don't want to go on a long trip!"

So he sighed and changed his tune, saying, "Junior brother, would you believe me if I said that even now I don't know where Jade Capital Mountain is located?"

"..."

Hao was taken aback, wanting to ask, "Didn't Master tell you?"

However, this question is clearly silly and pointless. If Master had told Senior Brother this, would he still have said it?

Wu Chu sighed softly, "I suspect that my master doesn't want me to interfere with his secluded cultivation. Whenever I think about this, I feel very sad!"

"..."

For a moment, Hao didn't know how to respond.

Since Master didn't tell Senior Brother the location of Jade Capital Mountain, could he possibly tell him? Is there some deeper reason why Master didn't tell Senior Brother this?

So, is the deeper meaning something for me to tell, or for me to continue keeping it a secret?

"Senior brother, I..."

Hao hesitated, seemingly troubled and unable to make up his mind.

Wu Chu patted him on the shoulder, "It's alright! You don't need to worry. I'll ask Master about it later. Maybe it's because Master feels that I, as a formal disciple, haven't yet reached the Daluo Realm, which is a bit embarrassing for him. He'd rather not see me and not have to worry about it!"

"Senior brother is overthinking it. Master would never think that way."

Wu Chu nodded and said, "Of course, this is my own thought. After all, I am a formal disciple accepted by my master, which is somewhat Taiyi from you and Junior Sister Yao. So I feel that going out and showing off before reaching the Daluo Realm is embarrassing my master. I even dare not easily mention my master's Daoist name when interacting with some fellow Daoists."

Hearing Wu Chu say this, Hao was taken aback again, thinking: Every time he went out, his master instructed him not to mention the location of Jade Capital Mountain, and even more so not to mention his Daoist name to other beings. Was it because he didn't want him to embarrass him?

Sigh! It seems it wasn't that my senior brother was overthinking things, but rather that I hadn't thought about them enough!

When I first met my senior brother, he was only at the Celestial Immortal realm; when we met again, he was already Golden Immortal; and now, when we meet again, he has already reached the Taiyi.

I wonder if, when we meet again, my senior brother will have already surpassed me in the Daluo. With such a speed of cultivation, it's only natural that he will surpass us in the future!

With your senior brother's progress in cultivation, he's still worried about embarrassing our master. Then what about me and Yao, who aren't even formally initiated disciples...?

Hao felt increasingly inadequate and ashamed of himself.

I almost became completely withdrawn!

"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?"

Wu Chu patted his arm and laughed, "There's no point in talking about this. Tell me about the days you and Yao spent with Master on Jade Capital Mountain!"

When he talked about those interesting things in his life, Hao gradually emerged from his self-isolation, and his smile became more frequent.

After speaking for a while, Hao said, "Speaking of which, Jade Capital Mountain is much more lively than before. We have to thank Senior Brother's Golden Core Cultivation Method, which has brought many more Grass-Head Gods to Jade Capital Mountain. In the past, when Master went into seclusion, it was just Yao and me, facing each other every day. After a while, we had nothing to say to each other. But now it's different... Master said that this cultivation method can completely benefit the entire Primordial World. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and we must be cautious in passing on the method."

Wu Chu nodded slightly. "My master also mentioned this to me. In fact, apart from my Purple Jade Mountain and your Jade Capital Mountain, not many other people know about it. And those few fellow Daoists who know this cultivation method won't easily pass it on."

Actually, only Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi Fuxi Nuwa knew about it; even Taiyi and Di Jun didn't know. Of course, they probably should know now, since Taiyi took two Little Flower Fairies away last time, and perhaps those two Little Flower Fairies will pass on this magic technique.

After all, Wu Chu had not instructed them not to pass on this immortal technique.

However, Taiyi's generosity, even if he knew about this cultivation method, he wouldn't easily take advantage of Wu Chu. If he used this method, he would definitely give him some thanks later.

"Haha, I won!"

Just as Wu Chu and Hao were chatting about the interesting things at Jade Capital Mountain, Yao, who was playing Mahjong with Qingqiu Li and the others, laughed and said, "So there are such interesting things. Senior Brother, could you give me a Mahjong set later? I'll take it back to Jade Capital Mountain and play with it when I have nothing to do."

Wu Chu laughed and said, "It's just a set of Mahjong tiles, why not! Junior Brother Hao, would you like to play some? It's very simple, you'll learn it in no time!"

As Wu Chu spoke, he imagined that in the future, when Haotian and Yaochi became the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, they would bring Mahjong to the Heavenly Court and play a few rounds with the immortals and gods whenever they had free time.

Eat, pong, kong, win...

Just imagining that scene made Wu Chu inexplicably laugh!
