"Eldest Senior Brother, you flatter me. It's just a small victory.”
Tongtian raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing the conversation between Laozi and the Two Sages of the West. He knew that he had achieved his goal this time.
After defeating Primordial, although he had revealed all his trump cards except for the one he had, he had succeeded in establishing his prestige. At least, from now on, no one dared to look down on him because of the lack of disciples like Primordial.
Therefore, after the few of them immediately complimented each other, they also returned to the Primordial World.
After this incident, it was impossible for the discussion to continue. Therefore, after Tongtian returned, he did not go to the Jade Mirage Palace. Instead, he went to the side palace to pick up Kong Xuan and Kui Niu before leaving Mount Kunlun.
However, he did not expect to see Nüwa when he rode out on the cloud.
"Nuwa wishes to congratulate you on your display of power, senior apprentice-brother.”
Goddess Nvywa said with a smile when she saw Tongtian approaching. She had never established a great sect, but she was really surprised and happy by Tongtian's remarkable power.
"Junior Sister, you flatter me."
Tongtian also looked at Nüwa with a smile. If there was a question about who he had the best relationship with among the Saints, it would probably be Nüwa.
"Is this the disciple that Senior Brother took in? As expected of an outstanding talent."
Goddess Nvywa also smiled when she saw Kong Xuan following behind Tongtian, which made Kong Xuan slightly stunned.
"Greetings, Mother Nuwa."
However, Kong Xuan was still a man of great intelligence, so even though the recent events that had happened to him were indeed horrifying and strange, he had not lost his manners. Through the conversation between Tongtian and Goddess Nvywa, he naturally knew the identity of the Sage in front of him, so he came forward to pay his respects.
"There's no need to be so polite. Since you're Senior Brother Tongtian's disciple, you can just call me Martial Uncle.”
Nuwa waved her hand.
"Yes, Martial Uncle Nuwa."
Kong Xuan followed his advice.
At this moment, Nuwa glanced at Tongtian and said,""Senior brother, you promised me that you would go to Emperor NvWa's Palace to discuss the Dao. I wonder if you still remember.”
When Tongtian heard this, he recalled the words he had said when the human race was born. Hence, he smiled and said,"Of course I remember."
"I didn't really understand what Senior Brother said in today's discussion. Why don't you come to my Emperor NvWa Palace for a cup of tea?”
Nuwa pursed her lips into a smile and extended an invitation.
"It's my honor, but I'm sorry for disturbing you.”
"Senior Brother is really joking, there's no need to disturb us. You and I are saints and we can't be destroyed. If we continue to sit and meditate in the end, it won't be good.”
Tongtian did not refuse like before. After all, the relationship between the two of them was much closer now, and he did not have anything important to do.
Therefore, he turned around and instructed Kui Niu and Kong Xuan,""I'm going to the Daoist temple with your Martial Uncle Nuwa to discuss the Dao. You should return to Penglai Island first.”
After saying that, Tongtian also remembered that this was Kong Xuan's first time going to Penglai, so he added,""Kui Niu, you can introduce Kong Xuan to your Senior Martial Brother Baishi and ask him to find a place to build his cave abode.”
After Kui Niu and Kong Xuan bowed in agreement, Tongtian turned around and looked at Nuwa.""Junior Sister, let's go."
Therefore, Tongtian left with Nuwa to Emperor Wa's Realm.
Kui Niu looked at Kong Xuan thoughtfully.""Senior Brother Kong Xuan, do you think that Master is very close to Mother Nuwa?”
Although the Sage's mount was half a disciple of the Sage, it was not a real disciple. Therefore, he called Kong Xuan but not his junior brother. This was the same principle as how the boy and girl under Hongjun called Tongtian their senior brother.
"What does Junior Brother Kui Niu mean? Master and Martial Uncle Nuwa were siblings, so they were naturally close.”
Kong Xuan naturally understood the meaning behind it and changed the way she addressed him.
"Hehe, senior brother, you don't know…In my opinion…"
The Kui Bull was halfway through his sentence when he saw Kong Xuan's gaze. He was shocked. He was just a small Kui Bull Demon. How could he talk about the matters of a Sage? It was not surprising that he would lose his life if he overstepped his authority.
“... I overstepped my boundaries."
So he stopped in time and looked at Kong Xuan gratefully. He knew that he was right to be gentle and polite to Kong Xuan from the beginning.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Junior Brother Kui Niu to lead me back to Penglai Island.”
"Naturally."
"Welcome back to the palace…Ah! Greetings, Saint Tongtian."
On the other side, Tongtian and Goddess Nvywa arrived in front of Emperor Nvywa's Palace not long after. When Jin Ning saw Goddess Nvywa, he hurriedly saluted. Then, when he saw Tongtian, he also greeted him with a big bow. Then, he led the two of them into Emperor Nvywa's Palace.
"You can withdraw first."
"Yes, Empress!"
After Jin Ning brought two cups of spiritual tea, Nüwa waved her hand to dismiss Jin Ning.
"I wonder what Senior Brother thinks about the Lich?”
When there were only two people left in the palace, Nuwa went straight to the point.
Tongtian was also stunned when he heard this. Then, he revealed a matter-of-fact expression.
He also knew that the second topic of today's so-called primitive discussion was probably this, but because of his relationship, it could not be discussed successfully. However, he did not expect Nvywa to bring it up at this time.
However, since Nüwa had asked, he was not the kind of person who would hide."I will not hide it from junior sister. You are also aware of the matter between Donghuang Taiyi and me…"
In his opinion, Goddess Nvywa, as the Sage of the Demon Tribe, probably wanted him to help the Demon Tribe. Therefore, he directly stated the conflict between him and Donghuang Taiyi to refuse. Although there was a huge difference in status between him and Donghuang Taiyi, the karma of the past could not be washed away.
After saying that, he even said to Nuwa,""Junior Sister, the fall of the Heavenly Court and the fall of the Witches and Demons are the general trend of the world. I hope that you won't go against the heavens.”
He was genuinely close to Goddess Nvywa, so his words were very sincere. To put it bluntly, if other Sages had said such words to him, he would have long thought that they could not see the general trend of the world and left.
However, he did not expect that Nüwa's eyes would become gentler after hearing his words. She also said softly,"Senior brother has misunderstood…"
