Chapter 201 'I Can't Help My Mother'
After Bai Ze left Kunlun Mountain, he quickly returned to the Heavenly Court. He went straight to Sun Star, and after a while, he arrived at Tai Yi's study.
Tai Yi sat on a chair, and there was rarely a mountain of memorials in the middle of the desk in front of him. Instead, there was a pot of green orchids, slender green leaves, and petite flowers in the shape of rice. , Tai held a pair of small scissors in one hand and was concentrating on trimming the flower.
"Crack! Crack!" There was a slight sound of scissors closing, and Bai Ze also calmly talked about his going to Kunlun Mountain in this voice.
"That is to say, Sanqing promised to bring his apprentice here?" Tai Yi heard the definite result, but there was no expression on his face, nor did he raise his head, and he was still pruning the branches and leaves slowly with the scissors.
"Yes, it's a good thing that my subordinate did not disgrace his life. Taoist Sanqing personally promised that he will definitely bring his disciples to this banquet." Bai Ze clasped his hands and saluted before replying. "I think His Majesty will be able to get what he wants this time." He glanced at Tai Yi and congratulated.
"Bai Ze, they can't think of anything you can think of?" Tai Yi stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, raised his eyebrows, and asked back.
"Your Majesty?" Bai Ze frowned, "Could it be that they want to go back on their word?"
"You are in Kunlun Mountain, did you see anyone else?" Tai Yi didn't answer, but glanced at him, and asked indifferently.
Obviously, Bai Ze did see this 'other', he didn't know if it meant what he thought, so he asked uncertainly. "Your Majesty, do you mean that Sanqing is playing games with us?"
"It's just a clumsy text trap," Tai Yi smiled, "It's no wonder you, the information on Kunlun Mountain has always been the most difficult to collect, but since Sanqing agreed, they will definitely not go back on their word, they will definitely bring their apprentices, However, it is definitely not the person I want to see!" He was very sure of this.
"But it's just what I want." Tai Yi didn't know what to think of, his eyes darkened, and he said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Bai Ze seemed to understand something, he couldn't help swallowing, and looked at Tai Yi with admiration in his eyes.
It was only at this time that Bai Ze realized that this invitation, from personally writing the invitation, to the behavior of asking him to repeatedly ask, and the reaction of the Sanqinghui, were all taken into account by Tai Yi, thus concealing his true purpose.
"It's just what you think," Tai Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a particularly innocent smile.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, then step back," he waved his hand.
"Yes," Bai Ze didn't know what he had planned, but he didn't dare to ask more, nodded in yes, and then turned to leave.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, Tai Yi stopped him. "Bai Ze, when you go to see Shang Yang, tell Liu Er that our agreement is about to begin."
When Bai Ze heard this, he turned his head in an instant, but he could only see Tai Yi still pruning the flower branches, with a concentrated look, as if he just said something casually, 'The weather is good today. ' Such nonsense.
However, only Bai Ze knew what kind of murderous intent was hidden behind these words.But thinking of one thing, Bai Ze collected himself, nodded slightly, and quickly left here.
In the room, Taiyi took the scissors on the side branches of the pot of Jasper Qisu, and cut it without hesitation. A branch that was already very wide and even faintly absorbed the nutrients from the main trunk was cut off by him, and the leaves fell limply to the ground. There was no longer any resistance on the table, and the potted flower became less perfect in an instant.
But Taiyi smiled, gently stroked the cut 'wound' on the trunk, and muttered to himself, "A branch is just a branch, no matter how long it grows, it will only increase troubles. For the trunk, there is never need A branch that overwhelms the host."
"Demon Master, I think, you can understand my painstaking efforts." The last sentence was inaudible, but his eyes were so bright, as if there was a light shining, and the name of that light, It's called, 'Impossible to win. '
At the same time, after Jiao'er finished choosing the congratulatory gift and gave it to the demon master for a review, he also returned to Camellia Island from the demon master's palace. Soon, he and the demon master would go to the demon clan's Heavenly Court for a banquet. After Qing Dai knew about it, He took out many styles of clothes for him to try on.
After changing into a white long-sleeved robe again, Jiao'er was really helpless, "Mother, I'm just going to the Heavenly Court for a banquet, is it necessary to dress up like this?" Even though he said so, he can wait for Qingdai to give him When he tied the jade pendant around his waist, he obediently stretched out his arms and let her do whatever she wanted.
"Of course it is necessary." Qing Dai tied a milky white suet jade pendant on him, smoothed the folds on his sleeves for him, looked up at him, and nodded with certainty.
"This has been held by the monster clan for tens of thousands of years. It is only a grand celebration when the heavenly court is established. When the gods gather, the leaders of my monster clan will definitely bring their best juniors. Such a banquet, It has always been the first choice for blind date and alliance." Qing Dai patiently explained to him.
Obviously, as the princess of the Snake Clan, Qing Dai had participated in several similar banquets with Teng Snake before, but they were not as large and high-level as this time.And she is also very clear that the people who attend such a banquet are definitely not just there to congratulate, this is a social platform, it is also a circle of contacts, and of course, it is also a good opportunity to solicit and be solicited.
But she put so much effort into preparing for Jiao'er, not because of these things, but, "Jiao'er, the officiant of this wedding is Emperor Wa, so don't forget to greet Emperor Wa when the time comes." She said seriously A word of advice.
"When you see Emperor Wa, don't be afraid, your grandmother will be there to help you." She looked at him and said.
"So what?" Jiao'er already knew that Bai Yu was the protector of Emperor Wa, but, "Mother, have you forgotten that if grandma is here, grandpa will also be there, and if the two of them get into an argument because of me, It won't end well at that time." He reminded her that the attitudes of Bai Yu and Teng Snake towards their mother and child were completely opposite.
"Don't worry," Qing Dai paused for a second before continuing, "Based on what I know about my father, he will never embarrass you in public, because that would not only humiliate you, but also the snake clan. And insulting the snake clan, he will never allow it!"
"When you arrive at the Heavenly Court, after presenting my congratulatory gifts to Fairy Xihe and Emperor Donghua, you can find an opportunity to pay respects to Emperor Wa, and also bring the gift I prepared for Emperor Wa. When you go to pay respects to Emperor Wa, replace me Thank you for taking care of her these years." This sentence, Qing Dai said sincerely.
She is very clear that no matter whether it is the dragon clan or the demon master, whether it is true or false, at least they dare not do anything to their mother and child on the surface, and all of this, apart from the strength of her mother clan, there is more The only thing is to look at the face of Emperor Wa, otherwise, if the cultivation level has reached the level of Zhulong or the demon master Kunpeng, there is no need to care about the personal wishes of their mother and child.
"Mother, is this necessary?" Jiao'er didn't quite understand, he tilted his head, "I will go with Master, and I will definitely meet the four emperors of the Yaozu, and Emperor Wa will naturally be among them, since that's the case Why do you need to do so much? Besides, Master is in person, how can I, as a direct disciple, not serve by my side, but go to see others instead?"
"Oh," Qing Dai sighed after hearing this, "That's right." She also felt a little inappropriate, "Well then, don't take the initiative to go, but if Emperor Wa summons you, remember, Don't be rude." She changed her mind, looked up at him, and reminded.
"I see." Jiao'er felt that this was more reliable, so she nodded and agreed.
However, Jiao'er looked down at the white robe with wide sleeves and the jade pendant around her waist, and couldn't help frowning. "Mother, I still think that even so, there is no need to dress like this."
He doesn't think it's necessary, and this kind of dress makes him feel less neat. Although he looks very gentle, like Mr. Pianpian, it invisibly reduces his murderous aura. Generally speaking, he thinks it's a bit too inappropriate. The image I have always had.
"Of course it is necessary." Hearing this, Qing Dai pursed her lips and patted his shoulder, "Why did you forget, as I said just now, this is not just a banquet, but also a good opportunity for a blind date." She blinked, "I heard that for this banquet, many leaders of my demon clan will bring the most outstanding sons and daughters of the clan. Son, don't you look forward to it?"
"No way." These words instantly reminded Jiao'er of that white-clothed boy over 600 years ago, and the agreement between the two of them, but he quickly recovered, gave her a helpless look, and firmly shook his head Shake your head.
"What kind of blind date or not? Mother, you think too much. I really just went to a banquet with Master." He tried his best to explain clearly, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes inadvertently.
Qingdai instantly noticed something unusual about his appearance, she looked down at Jiao'er's left and right hands calmly, as expected, he put his left hand on his right wrist unconsciously, and there was a A handkerchief embroidered with purple camellias.
"Oh? Really? Then go to the banquet," Qing Dai pretended not to know, and stretched out her hands to straighten his clothes, "However, mother still hopes that you can bring someone back to show me, now the family is apart from us There is no one else besides the two, sometimes, mother really feels a little lonely." She blinked and hinted.
"..." After all, I still want him to go on a blind date, "Mother, I thought you wouldn't be lonely with Aunt Yun around." What he meant was, don't make foolish plans.
"Oh?" Qingdai looked at him pretending not to understand, "Then what do you mean, did you agree to my idea with your Aunt Yun?" She intentionally misinterpreted his meaning.
"Of course not!" Mentioning the so-called 'verbal engagement', Jiao'er subconsciously clenched the camellia handkerchief on his right wrist with his left hand, "That was just a joke between you and Aunt Yun, how could you take it seriously? How could I? Promise?" He stomped his feet, a little annoyed, turned and ran away.
"Oh, I really can't help my mother." Qing Dai couldn't help but sighed when she saw his back, which was almost "running away".
She was sure that Jiao'er had someone in her heart, but, "I just don't know what the young man in Jiao'er's heart looks like and what kind of temperament he is," she thought thoughtfully.
'If only he would bring someone to show me. She was looking forward to it like this, but she also knew that with Jiao'er's awkward temper, if he took the initiative to bring her back, the sun would come out from the west.
