Chapter 33-Covering Up
Wen Zhong was shocked.
He actually heard the Gold Spirit Holy Mother address Li Yuan as Brother Li.
How was this possible?
Wasn't his master a peerless mighty figure who had existed for hundreds of millions of years? Why would he call Li Yuan brother?
His master was on the same level as Li Yuan. Wasn't it disrespectful for him to call Li Yuan little friend?
Wen Zhong suddenly felt like he was going crazy.
In fact, the reason why Holy Mother Gold Spirit called Li Yuan Brother Li was because of Sect Master Tongtian.
Sect Master Tongtian and Li Yuan were of the same generation, so Holy Mother Jin Ling didn't know how to address Li Yuan.
Calling Li Yuan Daoist or his name was not appropriate. It would seem disrespectful to Sect Master Tongtian.
In the end, she simply called Li Yuan brother along with Daji.
Moreover, after witnessing Li Yuan's zither skills, the Gold Spirit Holy Mother's heart was also slightly moved by Li Yuan, and she couldn't help but think of Daji's suggestion.
"If I really become Li Yuan's dao companion, then the husband is the wife's leader. Therefore, it's not that I can't accept calling Li Yuan brother!”
The Gold Spirit Holy Mother looked at the guards at the door and the wails coming from the room. She asked Li Yuan curiously,
"What happened here?"
Li Yuan said lightly,"
"I taught an arrogant piece of trash a lesson.”
Wen Zhong had already recovered from his shock. When he saw the guard lying on the ground, he felt that it was somewhat familiar. When he heard Yin Li's wail, he could not help but feel that it was even more familiar.
He then remembered that today was the day of Li Yuan and his daughter's blind date. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Wen Zhong quickly walked to the door and saw his daughter's pale face. She looked like she was still in shock.
The Third Prince, Yin Li, fell to the ground, screaming and wailing.
Yin Li's limbs were twisted into a twisted shape, and his face was covered in blood. There was a large " slave " word on his cheek, which was unusually eye-catching.
When Wen Yin saw her father, it was as if she had seen her savior. She immediately ran over and cried out in grievance,
"Sob, sob, sob, father, you have to avenge your daughter and His Highness. The Li Yuan you introduced to your daughter is a demonic priest. Not only is he unreasonable, but he also used demonic arts to break His Highness 'limbs and carve words on His Highness' face. He is really cruel.”
When Yin Li saw Wen Zhong, he was also overjoyed. He immediately shouted ferociously,
"Grand Preceptor Wen, quickly capture this Demonic Priest. I want to tear him into pieces and cut him into pieces!”
When Wen Zhong saw Yin Li here, he understood that things were not as simple as they seemed.
He did not believe his daughter's words and immediately questioned Li Yuan. Instead, he asked Wen Yin angrily,
"Today, I asked you to go on a blind date with little friend Li Yuan. Why is the Third Prince here?”
Due to his extreme anger, a vertical eye appeared in the middle of Wen Zhong's forehead. It was like a furious diamond. Wen Yin was so scared that her guts almost split. Her legs went weak and she crawled beside Wen Zhong's feet.
Wen Yin did not dare to hide anything and told him the reason why Yin Li was here.
"... I was unwilling to marry a merchant and bring shame to the family, so I asked the Third Prince to make Li Yuan back out of the situation... But I didn't expect him to ignore the Third Prince's recruitment... The Third Prince was prepared to teach this merchant a lesson, but I didn't expect him to be a demon who knew evil spells..."
"Pa!"
Wen Zhong knew what had happened and saw that his daughter kept talking about "merchants" and "demons". How could he not understand who was right and who was wrong?
He was so angry that his face turned red and his hair stood up. He gave his daughter a slap without hesitation and said sternly.
"You evil creature, today's matter was caused by you. I won't forgive you.”
Wen Yin's face was cracked by this slap. Her hair was disheveled and she was dumbfounded.
She thought that Wen Zhong would immediately arrest Li Yuan and execute him when he saw his daughter being bullied and His Highness being tortured.
She never expected Wen Zhong to hit her.
Yin Li asked Wen Zhong in disbelief,"
"Why didn't Grand Preceptor Wen arrest the criminal immediately and instead blame his own daughter? Are you going to despise the royal power for a merchant?”
If Wen Zhong didn't know the relationship between the Gold Spirit Holy Mother and Li Yuan, he might punish Li Yuan in order to protect the royal power.
Regardless of right or wrong, anyone who dared to attack the emperor's son could be exterminated.
But now, his master, the Holy Mother of Gold Spirit, was on the same level as Li Yuan. Wen Zhong immediately understood Li Yuan's identity. It was not as simple as he knew, so how could he dare to blame Li Yuan?
Relatively speaking, although Yin Li was the third son of King Zhou, he was only the son of a concubine and was not very important at all.
Of course, Wen Zhong knew what to choose.
When he saw Yin Li using his authority to suppress him, he couldn't help but say loudly,"
"I assisted the two previous emperors and was appointed as the minister entrusted by the king. I was given the golden whip to beat the king. I beat the fatuous emperor and the greedy minister. I fought in the north and south all my life and worked hard to complete the Tang Dynasty. I didn't dare to slack off at all. How can you slander me?”
Yin Li said angrily,"
"Then why haven't you captured this madman?”
"Li, Immortal Li didn't do anything wrong. Why should we arrest him?" Wen Zhong asked.”
"You…"
When Yin Li saw Wen Zhong openly shield Li Yuan, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Aren't you afraid that Father will blame you?" He threatened Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong looked down at Yin Li and said lightly,"
"This old man will personally report this matter to the king. If the king wants to blame this old man, this old man will accept the punishment.”
Yin Li was about to go crazy from anger.
He couldn't understand why Wen Zhong would protect a lowly merchant.
Wen Zhong no longer paid attention to Yin Li and Wen Yin. He returned to the side of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Li Yuan. He cupped his fists at Li Yuan apologetically and said,
"Immortal Elder Li, I was wrong. I didn't expect my daughter to make such a big mistake. I'll naturally give you a satisfactory explanation later.”
Li Yuan said calmly,"
"Old Wen, please don't call me Elder Immortal. I'm not an Elder Immortal. You should call me by my name like before.”
"How can that do?" "The Immortal Elder and Master are of the same generation, so he's naturally my elder…" Wen Zhong shook his head hurriedly.
Yin Li and Wen Yin finally understood why Wen Zhong was so protective of Li Yuan.
So Li Yuan was a friend of Master Wen Zhong!
Wasn't Wen Zhong's master a Sage-to-be who ruled over all ages? Even emperors had to treat him with respect!
Why would he be friends with a small merchant?
Yin Li couldn't figure it out at all, and he became even more desperate.
Li Yuan's identity was so noble that it would be difficult for him to ask King Zhou to take revenge!
