You Need to Find Master About This

Hong Ze, as usual, spent his days writing and painting at home. Or he would tend to his vegetable garden and feed the carp in the pond.

In short, Hong Ze never took the responsibility of managing the Jie Sect seriously. After all, the Jie Sect wasn't some corporate group that required important decisions.

The so-called management of the Jie Sect simply meant standing up for Jie Sect disciples who were being bullied and teaching them to cultivate diligently.

The Jie Sect was a Saint's sect, so who would dare to bully its disciples without knowing their limits?

As for teaching the Jie Sect disciples cultivation, even if Hong Ze had the idea, they might not necessarily need his help.

Of course, this was just the thought of Hong Ze and some Jie Sect disciples, but it didn't include Golden Spirit Mother and the others.

Now they had become frequent visitors to Hong Ze's place, coming over every now and then for food and drinks.

This also made Hong Ze's small courtyard lively, no longer as deserted as before.

One day, Hong Ze was, as usual, tending to his vegetable garden.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. Hong Ze thought it was Golden Spirit Mother or one of the others again.

So, without even turning his head, he spoke directly, "Your nose is really long. How did you know the corn is ripe today?"

While speaking, Hong Ze slowly stood up.

When he turned around, he saw that the people in front of him were not Golden Spirit Mother and the others.

It was Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Pi Lu Xian. This made Hong Ze feel very strange.

Why are these two guys here? Did they get confused while sleeping in the middle of the night?

While Hong Ze was filled with confusion, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Pi Lu Xian had already begun to salute Hong Ze.

The two of them knelt directly in front of Hong Ze, their faces full of shame.

"Eldest Senior Brother, we offended you that day. Please don't take offense, Eldest Senior Brother."

At this moment, Hong Ze was completely bewildered by these two. He didn't understand what they were up to.

Then Pi Lu Xian spoke, "Eldest Senior Brother, that day, I was reckless and offended you.

Now I have paid the price, Eldest Senior Brother. Please forgive my recklessness that day."

Seeing the devout expressions on the faces of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Pi Lu Xian, Hong Ze couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

If it were someone else, they might really be fooled by Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Pi Lu Xian and believe that they had realized their mistakes.

But Hong Ze was different. He was a transmigrator with memories of later generations and knew the future of these two like the back of his hand.

One betrayed the Jie Sect at the most crucial moment, offering the Six Souls Banner to Yuanshi Tianzun, and finally became Dingguang Joyful Buddha of Western Buddhism.

Although the other did not openly betray the Jie Sect, he became Vairocana Buddha, one of the Seven Buddhas of the Past in Buddhism, when Western Buddhism was established.

So these two were absolutely out-and-out traitors. How could Hong Ze believe their nonsense?

However, the act still had to be performed, so Hong Ze was not prepared to expose these two.

Instead, he quickly reached out to help them up and said.

"We are fellow disciples of the same sect, how could there be overnight grudges?"

Furthermore, there's no personal enmity between us. Everything I did was for the future of the Jie Sect.

So, there's no need for you two junior brothers to be like this. Let's just pretend the past never happened.

I just don't know why you two junior brothers have come today. Is it merely to apologize to me, your senior brother?"

Hearing that Hong Ze had forgiven them, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Pi Lu Xian couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Pi Lu Xian even spoke directly to Hong Ze, saying, "Eldest Senior Brother, ever since I offended you and my cultivation was crippled to the Heavenly Immortal realm, no matter how I cultivate, I cannot improve my realm further.

I came to see you today, firstly, hoping to receive your forgiveness. Secondly, I hope you can overlook past grievances and help me, your junior brother, recover my cultivation."

Hong Ze shook his head helplessly after hearing this. "I'm afraid I cannot satisfy you, senior brother.

After all, as you can see, my cultivation is only at the Heavenly Immortal realm. I'm merely on par with you now.

If I had a method to quickly improve my cultivation, how could I not improve my own cultivation first?

If I had profound cultivation, wouldn't the misunderstanding that day not have happened?"

Seeing Hong Ze directly refuse, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian quickly spoke up.

"Eldest Senior Brother, there's no need to be modest. That day, you crippled Junior Brother Pi Lu Xian's cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal realm with just a wave of your hand.

I, your junior brother, have never heard of any Heavenly Immortal who can cripple the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

And it's not just me who hasn't heard of it; I'm afraid no one in the Primordial World has heard of it either, right?"

Hong Ze had already anticipated that Chang Er Ding Guang Xian would say this, so he had already prepared his explanation.

Of course, for Hong Ze, this wasn't an excuse or evasion; it was merely to give them a reasonable explanation.

He pointed to the Water Fire Daoist Robe on his body and then spoke to Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.

"You should recognize this Daoist robe I'm wearing, right?"

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Pi Lu Xian both nodded simultaneously. After all, they had always suspected that this Water Fire Daoist Robe must possess special abilities.

Now that they heard Hong Ze say this, they naturally wanted to understand the extraordinary nature of this Water Fire Daoist Robe.

So, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian immediately said, "The Daoist robe on Eldest Senior Brother is the Water Fire Daoist Robe bestowed upon you by Master. Could it be that this Water Fire Daoist Robe has some extraordinary quality?"

Hong Ze nodded mysteriously. "My cultivation is weak, my aptitude is limited, and after cultivating for tens of thousands of years, I am still only at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Master, that old man, was worried that I would be bullied by others, so he gave me this defensive Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Water Fire Daoist Robe.

Even so, Master, that old man, was still not at ease about my safety and left a trace of his Dao essence within the Water Fire Daoist Robe.

Whenever someone attempts to harm me, the trace of Dao essence left by Master will suppress the opponent's cultivation below mine.

At that time, I can easily kill them, or even completely annihilate their body and soul. It's not a difficult matter."

Hong Ze's explanation was flawless, leaving Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Pi Lu Xian unable to find any loopholes.

The key was that they also leaned towards this answer.

At the same time, they couldn't help but feel jealous of Hong Ze for receiving such protection from Master.

Meanwhile, Master Tongtian, who was drinking tea in Biyou Palace, suddenly sneezed several times.

This caused Master Tongtian to frown and immediately begin to deduce the heavenly secrets without hesitation.

A Saint is always a Saint. Even if someone mentions their name, they will have a sense of it.

However, as soon as Master Tongtian began his deduction, his expression instantly changed because he only felt a vast expanse of white.

"How is this possible? A Saint has actually intervened to shield the heavenly secrets. Could it be those two guys from the West are up to no good again?"
