Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends

Primordial Venerable wrinkled his brow and said, "Such a thing has happened? I have been searching for the Chaos Bell and indeed neglected the affairs of the Three Realms."

Bai Jin said with a bitter face, "Master, I'm in a difficult situation as well! Hence, I have come to seek guidance from you, asking for your help."

Primordial Venerable pondered for a moment and then understood the concerns of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, who was no longer the mortal Li Er but an incarnation of Saint Taishang—yet even the incarnation of a Saint must abide by the rules.

Bai Jin muttered softly, "Second Master, after the incident in the West Sea, since Aunt Xiyu revealed those two Magic Treasures, her and my Master's relationship is no longer a secret among the Primordial Great Powers. Now, if Master does not acknowledge Aunt Xiyu, would this be considered abandonment after initiating chaos?

Second Master, what do you think of this?"

Initiate chaos and then abandon? Primordial always valued his reputation above all and maintained his dignity. If his eldest brother carried the name of having abandoned her, it would also bring shame to himself.

The face of Primordial Venerable trembled as he said sternly, "Utterly nonsensical! Since they have paid their respects to Heaven and Earth and became husband and wife, they should stay together forever. Now that he has become a Heavenly God, he cannot look down upon the woman—this is preposterous.

Bai Jin, heed my command~"

Bai Jin hastily bowed and said, "Disciple is listening to the Dharma Decree~"

"I order you to return to the Heavenly Court and bring Lord Lao Zi and Tu Shan Xiyu together, ensuring they remain in harmony forever."

Bai Jin promptly acknowledged, "I honor the Dharma Decree!"

Bai Jin straightened up, hesitatingly said, "But Second Master, Lord Lao Zi's intention was for me to persuade Tu Shan Xiyu to go back.

Do not disturb his cultivation~"

Primordial Venerable stated authoritatively, "There's no need to heed his words. This time, listen to me. We, The Three Pure Ones, will not act disgracefully."

"But what if Eldest Uncle blames me?"

"Humph~ Initiating chaos and then abandoning her, does he still have the decency to blame you? If he dares to blame you, you come to me."

Bai Jin bowed deeply, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Second Master!"

Primordial Venerable said with satisfaction, "Bai Jin, I'm fortunate to have you overseeing the Heavenly Court, otherwise, my eldest brother might have tarnished the reputation of The Three Pure Ones. In fact, I owe you my gratitude."

Bai Jin humbly said, "It is my honor to serve you, Master."

"Go back now, and do what you must. A single Tongtian already causes me enough headache, and now even Taishang is causing trouble."

Primordial Venerable suddenly stood up and said, "I will go to the Great Red Heaven and have a serious discussion with Taishang."

Bai Jin respectfully bowed, saying, "Disciple takes his leave!" He stood up, took two steps backwards, and then turned to leave.

Right after Bai Jin left, the voice of Guang Chengzi came from outside the great hall, "Disciple requests an audience with Master!"

Primordial Venerable stopped and frowned, his mighty voice thundered, "Come in!"

Guang Chengzi entered from outside and kneeled on a cushion, bowing deeply and respectfully saying, "Disciple has come to greet Master and wishes eternal prosperity for your Saint Dao."

"Anything else?"

"Eh~ No!"

"Then, you may leave."

Guang Chengzi's heart chilled, he looked up at his cold Master, and had no choice but to walk out, feeling a wave of bitterness. Just now, Master and Bai Jin had a lively chat, why did he dismiss me the moment I arrived? Who truly is your disciple! It's terribly sour, a wave of jealousy arises, why is flattering so difficult?!

...

Within Yuxu Palace, Primordial Venerable's gaze followed the outside, slightly shaking his head; it is just a formality, you think Bai Jin's greetings were just mere greetings?

Your greetings are merely a way to curry favor, whereas Bai Jin's greetings carry his filial piety. Without sincerity, even if you greet a hundred times a day, what good does it achieve? With sincerity, even once in a million years, I would treat him with the same respect.

The figure of Primordial Venerable faded and disappeared.

After leaving Qingwei Heaven, Bai Jin took a turn and headed directly to Yu Yu Heaven.

This time, he didn't knock but burst straight into Yu Yu Heaven and made his way into Biyou Palace.

As Bai Jin entered the main hall of Biyou Palace, he was surprised to find his master absent and walked out towards the backyard.

Just a few steps in, he saw the Water and Fire Boys coming out from the backyard.

Bai Jin immediately asked: "Water and Fire, where is my master?"

The Water and Fire Boys respectfully replied: "Elder Brother, the master is in the card room!"

Bai Jin bowed to the Water and Fire Boys and immediately made his way to the card room, hearing the sounds of card-playing before even entering.

A deep voice exclaimed: "Flying Sword in succession~"

A crisp voice responded: "Cover! Pair of eight, pair of nine, pair of ten, Flying Sword in succession~"

"Pass~"

"Pass~"

"Pass~"

"Hehe~ well then, don't mind if I do..."

Bai Jin walked into the card room and saw four figures, seated in the air, playing against the Demon King.

One of them was his aloof master, another one he recognized as the Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage, and though he did not know the other two, he could guess that the white-haired unruly youth must be the White Tiger Venerable Sage, and the tattooed unruly youth must be the Xuanwu Venerable Sage.

Bai Jin bowed and respectfully said: "Disciple greets Master and the three Venerable Sages!"

Tongtian Sect Master waved his hand and said with a smile: "My disciple has come to pay respects. That's all for today, let's disperse~"

Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage, White Tiger Venerable Sage, and Xuanwu Venerable Sage all glanced at Bai Jin and nodded with a smile, then their figures faded and disappeared.

Bai Jin laughed and said: "Master was playing cards!"

Tongtian Sect Master lazily said: "What else to do? The Great Sect is destroyed, I can't take any disciples anymore, and I'm grounded by the Taoist Ancestor, what else can I do? I can only barely make a living playing cards now."

"Master, are you feeling extremely bored and suffocated right now?"

"Mm!"

Bai Jin whispered: "Master, let me tell you something really exciting."

Tongtian Sect Master curiously asked: "What is it?"

Bai Jin whispered: "Eldest Uncle made a mistake."

Tongtian Sect Master immediately perked up, Eldest Uncle made a mistake? He has always been prudent and wise, often lecturing and disciplining himself, and now he made a mistake?

He eagerly asked: "Bai Jin, what mistake did Lord Lao Zi make?"

Bai Jin whispered: "Eldest Uncle made an error in his personal conduct."

"Oh~ What do you mean by that?"

"Master, do you remember Tu Shan Xiyu?"

"Tu Shan Xiyu? The younger sister-in-law?" Tongtian Sect Master said.

Bai Jin nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

Tongtian Sect Master smiled and said: "Right, she's quite remarkable to be able to keep my Eldest Uncle in line." He couldn't help but reminisce about the time when he was preaching in the Lower Realm.

It was the first time he saw that besides Master, someone else could keep Eldest Uncle in check, remembering the gatherings where even Li Er had to ask for Tu Shan Xiyu's opinion before drinking made him laugh, never thought he'd see this day.
