Yuanshi still wanted to say something, but Laozi stopped him with a glance.
Laozi shifted the subject. "Third Brother, regarding the Heavenly Court, do you intend to send disciples from your sect?"
"I have not decided yet."
Tongtian shook his head. He would speak with Lu Chen first, then hear what Lu Chen's inner thoughts had to say before reaching a conclusion.
"Mm."
"We will not disturb your cultivation any longer."
Laozi casually found an excuse and left with Yuanshi.
"Eldest Brother and Second Brother actually came to see me together?"
A trace of contemplation appeared in Tongtian's eyes.
Eldest Brother was detached and inactive. He was not surprised that Second Brother had come calling over Lu Chen taking Six Ears as a disciple, but why had Eldest Brother come as well?
Had Second Brother sought out Eldest Brother beforehand, or had Eldest Brother and Second Brother happened to be together?
For a moment, Tongtian thought of many things. Especially after years of seclusion, while his strength had steadily risen, he also felt that the bond between the brothers had undergone some subtle, inscrutable changes.
Still, Tongtian was not the sort to harbor dark thoughts. He did not speculate about Laozi and Yuanshi with the utmost malice.
"I will first take you to the Upper Clarity Palace to pay respects to my master—your grandmaster."
After returning to Kunlun Mountain, Lu Chen turned back and spoke to Six Ears.
Six Ears nodded forcefully, rubbing his hands together, his eyes brimming with impatience.
He was about to meet the very top figures of the Primordial World. Just thinking about it made him... no... this monkey excited.
"Disciple Lu Chen brings his new disciple Six Ears to pay respects to Master!"
"Senior Brother Lu Chen, the master bids you enter. Please follow me."
