After a moment's thought, a helpless smile appeared on Hong Ze's face.
After all, Hong Ze knew the Investiture of the Gods story all too well.
In the Investiture of the Gods, Guide Daoist took away the Jie Sect's Three Thousand Worldly Guests, which should be the disciples currently following Duobao Daoren.
This also made Hong Ze finally understand why Duobao Daoren dared to attack Laozi in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
It turned out that all of this was Duobao Daoren's plan, just to find a plausible reason to leave the Jie Sect.
It could even be said that Duobao Daoren absolutely contributed greatly to Master Tongtian being able to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
If he hadn't stirred up trouble in front of Master Tongtian, how could Master Tongtian have been so inexplicably enraged?
Others didn't know that Hong Ze had understood the cause and effect; they only saw Hong Ze's face turn as dark as water one moment, and then filled with a helpless smile the next.
Holy Mother Gui Ling spoke with a worried expression, "Eldest Senior Brother, there's no need to be like this. That Duobao won't be able to cause much trouble."
Bi Xiao nodded repeatedly, "Senior Sister Gui Ling is right. With just us, we are enough to make our Jie Sect famous at the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly."
Hong Ze reached out and patted Bi Xiao's head, "Silly girl, you're thinking too simply.
Now your cultivation levels are all Great Luo Golden Immortals. If you participate in the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, do you think it's really appropriate?"
As soon as Hong Ze finished speaking, Wu Dang Mother instantly woke up as if from a dream and stood up, saying,
"Red flowers, green leaves, white lotus root, the three sects are originally one family. If our Jie Sect sends out Great Luo Golden Immortals at the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly, it will inevitably make the two Senior Uncles dissatisfied.
They will think that Master intentionally suppressed the Human Sect and Elucidation Sect, which is why he sent out Great Luo Golden Immortals to sweep through the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly."
Golden Spirit Mother couldn't help but frown, "If that's the case, then where do they place the Jie Sect, and where do they place Master?
We can't easily make a move, and they are unwilling to make a move. Won't that make Master lose face at the Three Realms Dao Debate Assembly?"
Hong Ze nodded, "That is their true purpose, to make me caught in a dilemma.
At the same time, it's to let Master know that I am not qualified to be the Jie Sect's Eldest Senior Brother, and even less qualified to manage the Jie Sect on his behalf."
By this time, everyone present understood Duobao Daoren's sinister intentions.
Yun Xiao even suggested to Hong Ze, "Eldest Senior Brother, why not inform Master about this? So that Master won't be unprepared at that time."
Yun Xiao's words were absolutely tactful. On the surface, she was suggesting to prevent Master Tongtian from being caught off guard by the sudden situation at the Three Sects Dao Debate Assembly.
In reality, she was telling Hong Ze that he should let Master Tongtian make the decision for him and make Duobao Daoren and the others suffer.
However, Hong Ze directly shook his head, "There's no need to inform Master about this yet. I, your Senior Brother, still have a way to solve it.
You just go back and cultivate in peace. I, your Senior Brother, have my own arrangements for the rest. At that time, I will definitely let Duobao Daoren and the others know the consequences of doing this."
After speaking, Hong Ze prepared to open the door and see them out, sending these little girls, who were like bandits, out of his Hong Ze Dao Palace.
Unfortunately, Hong Ze did not get his wish, because at this moment, the faces of the six girls already showed a meaningful smile.
Since Hong Ze already had a way to solve Duobao Daoren's matter, they naturally didn't need to worry anymore.
So, they naturally shifted their attention to Hong Ze's treasures, which made Hong Ze feel a little creeped out.
"Don't look at me with those eyes. I don't have anything good to eat here today."
It was a pity that Hong Ze's words seemed so weak; they couldn't stop the girls' thorough sweep at all.
When they left Hong Ze Dao Palace, all of Hong Ze's savings were once again completely emptied by them.
Even the cucumbers that were just palm-sized were picked clean, not a single one left.
Looking at the vegetable garden, which looked like it had been ravaged by locusts, Hong Ze could only show a helpless expression on his face.
At this moment, even the few old hens had hidden in the corner, afraid that those girls would extend their claws towards them.
If Hong Ze wasn't there, they wouldn't worry about what those girls could do to them.
The key was that Hong Ze was standing right beside them, making them, despite having peak Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, only able to watch helplessly as they were bullied.
Just as Hong Ze turned around with a dejected look and walked towards the Dao Palace, Wu Dang Mother unexpectedly returned.
This couldn't help but startle Hong Ze, and he quickly spoke to Wu Dang Mother.
"Junior Sister Wu Dang, I have nothing left here, Senior Brother. Why don't you just move this Dao Palace away?"
Wu Dang Mother laughed so hard she was bent over, not looking like an immortal cultivator at all.
Even the little white snake and the little snake beside her were completely dumbfounded at this moment.
The performance of those few just now had already made the little white snake and the little snake unable to believe their eyes.
Now seeing Wu Dang Mother, whom they had served for hundreds of years and who had always been serious and unsmiling, laughing like this, made it even more unimaginable for them.
However, Wu Dang Mother didn't pay attention to the expressions of the little white snake and the little snake. She laughed for a long time before finally managing to stop.
Then she spoke to Hong Ze, "I say, Eldest Senior Brother, do you have to be like this?
I came back this time to ask Eldest Senior Brother for a favor. I didn't intend to steal anything from you."
"It's good that you're not stealing anything, it's good that you're not stealing anything. Just tell me what kind of help you need, Junior Sister Wu Dang."
Holy Mother Gui Ling suppressed her smile and spoke to Hong Ze.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you often write some calligraphy and paintings, but the characters on them are not Demon Script. Junior Sister here doesn't recognize a single character.
I wonder if Eldest Senior Brother could teach Junior Sister this kind of writing you use, so that Junior Sister can also understand Eldest Senior Brother's excellent works."
Hearing that it was just such a small matter, the stone hanging in Hong Ze's heart finally dropped completely.
He was about to agree to Wu Dang Mother, but then he felt something was not quite right.
If he were to create the characters now, how would Cangjie create characters in the future?
Moreover, the characters he wrote were not Oracle Bone Script, but the traditional characters commonly used in later generations.
After all, calligraphy mostly uses traditional characters, especially brush writing, so it was naturally impossible for Hong Ze to write simplified characters or Oracle Bone Script.
Wu Dang Mother didn't know what Hong Ze was worried about, and thought that Hong Ze was unwilling to tell her.
Immediately, her eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind. She directly spoke to Hong Ze.
"Since Eldest Senior Brother is so stingy, then Junior Sister will not bother Eldest Senior Brother anymore.
However, Eldest Senior Brother doesn't need to worry, Junior Sister will not tell anyone about this."
This was not "not telling anyone," it was clearly telling Hong Ze that if he didn't teach her, she would go out and spread rumors about him.
Helplessly, Hong Ze could only speak to Wu Dang Mother and instruct her.
"These characters should not be spread from me, otherwise, they will surely suffer heavenly retribution.
So, Junior Sister Wu Dang, remember, you must never tell the characters I teach you to a third person."
