Tongtian emerged from the Taiqing Palace, growing more and more enraged with every thought!
What he had said about Taishang going to live with Nuwa was merely a fit of pique. However, after leaving the Taiqing Palace and pondering it carefully, he felt it wasn't without merit!
The moment Nuwa had just taken human form, Taishang had begun showering her with gifts. In the time that followed, he had constantly protected Nuwa. The more Tongtian thought about it, the more he felt as though Taishang might elope with Nuwa!
Tongtian felt this simply couldn't continue. If Taishang left with Nuwa, what would become of him and Yuanshi!
Tongtian pondered that he couldn't let things develop this way.
Yet, Tongtian had no good solution. After some thought, he headed towards the Yuqing Palace. His second brother was smarter than him; perhaps Yuanshi had a solution where he did not!
Tongtian arrived at Yuqing Peak. Still far from the Yuqing Palace, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Second Brother! Second Brother!"
Tongtian shouted as he ran, rushing into the Yuqing Palace like a gust of wind!
Yuanshi looked at Tongtian with a darkened expression:
"What are you barking about? I heard you from a mile away!"
As Yuanshi spoke, he handed a cup of tea to Tongtian, who was opposite him!
Seeing that Yuanshi was calmly sipping tea, Tongtian anxiously said:
"Second Brother, something terrible has happened! I suspect Elder Brother doesn't want us anymore. He's definitely planning to live with Nuwa!"
"Pfft!"
Yuanshi couldn't help but spray the tea he had just drunk all over Tongtian!
"Third Brother, are you serious?"
Tongtian paid no mind to Yuanshi's loss of composure, wiping his face with his hand and recounting his analysis to Yuanshi one by one!
Yuanshi rested his forehead in his hand, finally understanding why their Elder Brother Taishang had come to him. Tongtian's mind had indeed been quite abnormal lately!
Seeing that Yuanshi didn't believe him, Tongtian said anxiously:
"Second Brother, I'm telling the truth. Elder Brother must have developed feelings. We absolutely cannot just wait to die!"
Yuanshi was speechless, but seeing Tongtian's distress, he calmly asked:
"If we can't wait to die, what do you plan to do?"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian thought Yuanshi shared his sentiment and looked at him joyfully!
"Second Brother, I came to you precisely because I have no solution. Please think of one!"
Yuanshi, upon hearing this, said with a smile:
"A solution? What solution? Elder Brother is not a child anymore. It's about time he found us an elder sister-in-law! Don't you want an elder sister-in-law?"
Tongtian's fur bristled at his words!
"Second Brother! What's wrong with you? What elder sister-in-law? If we have an elder sister-in-law, Elder Brother won't want us anymore!"
"Third Brother, isn't it a matter of time before Elder Brother gets married? There are countless people who wish to marry Elder Brother. If you have the time to worry about these things, you should think about what to prepare as Elder Brother's wedding gift!"
Tongtian looked at Yuanshi in disbelief!
"Second Brother, you've changed!"
"Third Brother, it's not that I've changed, but isn't it a good thing for Elder Brother to get married? He might even have a nephew for you! You should hurry and find someone too!"
Tongtian could hardly believe these words were coming from Yuanshi. Not only was he not siding with him, but he was also advising him to find someone himself?
Yuanshi ignored the stunned Tongtian!
"Alright, alright, stop lingering here. I still have things to do!"
Seeing that Yuanshi was asking him to leave, Tongtian shouted indignantly:
"If you can't do anything, I can! I'll guard the mountain gate. Anyone who dares to enter Kunlun, I'll kill them! Hmph!"
Taishang: Thank you for being there, because of you, I'm still single!
Yuanshi looked at Tongtian's retreating back, his lips involuntarily curving upwards!
Only after sensing that Tongtian had gone far away did Yuanshi burst into laughter!
Little guy! Go on, go guard well!
Tongtian hadn't expected Yuanshi not only not to help him but also to be planning to get married himself. Weren't the Three Pure Ones supposed to be inseparable? Two big liars!
Tongtian stomped his way towards the Kunlun mountain gate. Disciples along the way bowed to him, but he paid them no mind!
The disciples exchanged glances, wondering what was wrong with this one. However, they could tell Tongtian was very unhappy, so they wisely kept out of his way!
Tongtian was determined to guard the Kunlun mountain gate himself. If Nuwa came, he would send her home! Kunlun belonged to the Three Pure Ones, and it could only belong to the Three Pure Ones! No one else would dare to lay claim to it!
At the Kunlun mountain gate, Qilin was diligently sweeping. Suddenly, he saw Tongtian approaching with a dark expression!
Ever since Taishang had punished him to sweep Kunlun, Qilin had been sweeping every day, rarely seeing the Three Pure Ones.
Seeing Tongtian approach the gate, Qilin looked around, saw no one else, and quickly reviewed everything he had done during this period. Finding nothing amiss, he finally relaxed!
Tongtian's furious demeanor clearly indicated trouble. Qilin prayed silently that his master wasn't here because of him!
Qilin had intended to make himself inconspicuous and avoid Tongtian, but seeing that there was no one else and he couldn't escape, he took a deep breath! He immediately stepped forward to greet Tongtian!
"Master, what a pleasure! Are you here for a stroll?"
Seeing Qilin, Tongtian suddenly asked:
"Chen'er, what would you do if your own brother abandoned you?"
Qilin was mystified by Tongtian's question, scratching his head.
"Master, you forgot I'm an only child!"
"Then, if you had one? What would you do?"
Qilin thought for a moment and tentatively asked:
"My brother wouldn't abandon me, would he?"
"Then, what if he really did?"
"I'd beat him up. Perhaps a beating would fix it!"
"And if you couldn't beat him?"
Hearing this, Qilin suddenly realized and cautiously asked:
"Master, it's not that your two senior uncles have abandoned you, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on!
"Nonsense! If anyone abandons anyone, it's me abandoning them! How could they abandon me!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Master is right!"
Seeing Tongtian's reaction, Qilin knew his master must have been wronged by either the eldest or second senior uncle! Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a strong reaction!
Qilin pondered and also found it impossible. Based on his master's words, it sounded like the Three Pure Ones were going to split up!
They hadn't split up even when their great daos clashed, so how could they split now?
Qilin thought it was likely his master was overthinking things. After all, he had spent the longest time with Tongtian, and he knew his master's temperament.
However, he didn't dare to speak carelessly about matters involving the two senior uncles and quickly made an excuse about still needing to sweep Kunlun to escape!
Tongtian waved his hand, and Kunlun became spotlessly clean!
"Alright, you don't need to be busy today! Stay here and keep your master company!"
Qilin: ...
