Chapter 204

"Cihang Junior Sister, what are you doing, preparing to start accepting many disciples?"

"To ease the embarrassment, the Boundless Immortal shifted his gaze and drew the topic onto Cihang Daoist."

"In fact, although the Boundless Immortal didn't mention it, everyone had long been curious about Cihang Daoist's situation."

"Mu Zha, everyone is familiar with him; he was the disciple Cihang Daoist accepted during the last three teachings debate."

"This child possesses extraordinary talent; together with his elder brother Jin Zha and younger brother Ao Qian, they are known as the Three Outstanding Talents of the Chan Sect, and are the leading figures among the Chan Sect's third‑generation disciples."

"But besides Mu Zha, Cihang Daoist unexpectedly has four little girls around him."

"Three of them stand obediently behind Cihang Daoist, just like Mu Zha, while the smallest one is still sitting in his arms."

"According to Cihang Daoist, these are all her disciples."

"But seeing how intimate these little girls are with Cihang Daoist, everyone can't help but doubt their true identities."

"Facing the gazes of everyone, Cihang Daoist calmly said, 'These are indeed the disciples of this humble Daoist; I do this also to better spread the teachings of the Chan Sect.'"

"This, Cihang Junior Sister, you have good intentions!"

"Since they've said that, even if there are many doubts in his heart, what else can the Boundless Immortal say?"

"After all, among the Twelve Golden Immortals, the strongest now is Cihang Daoist."

"Faintly, the Boundless Immortal could not see through her strength; given the huge gap in power, even as the senior martial brother, he couldn't say much more."

"Seeing that the Boundless Immortal couldn't get anything from Cihang Daoist, everyone immediately shifted the topic again."

"By the way, today is the day Taiyi Junior Brother is to be promoted to the Twelve Golden Immortals; why isn't Taiyi Junior Brother himself here?"

"Just then, the Yellow Dragon True Person suddenly spoke up."

"Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be slightly startled."

"Indeed, earlier everyone was focused on looking at Cihang Daoist's four extra disciples, and failed to notice that, as the main figure of this gathering, the Taiyi True Person was absent."

"'Fei Xiong, do you know where your Taiyi Senior Brother is now?'"

"The Boundless Immortal looked at Fei Xiong, who was organizing personnel to set up the venue, and asked."

"Hearing this, Fei Xiong bowed to the Boundless Immortal and said, 'Reporting to Senior Martial Brother, I have already sent someone to notify the Taiyi Senior Brother.'"

"'Not bad!'"

"The Boundless Immortal stroked his beard with satisfaction; he was very pleased with this Fei Xiong Junior Brother."

"He is diligent in his work, handles things thoroughly, and puts people at ease."

"The only regret is that his foundation is poor; after forty years of cultivation on the mountain, he hasn't even reached the Human Immortal realm."

"It seems this person is destined to have no affinity with immortality in his lifetime."

"Just then, a figure came running up quickly and whispered two sentences into Fei Xiong's ear."

"Hearing this, Fei Xiong's face changed."

"Seeing this, the Boundless Immortal couldn't help but frown and asked, 'Fei Xiong Junior Brother, what happened?'"

"'Reporting to Senior Martial Brother!'"

"Fei Xiong gave a wry smile and said, 'The junior brother I sent to invite the Taiyi Senior Brother said that the Taiyi Senior Brother got drunk at his dojo.'"

"Hearing this, the Boundless Immortal's mouth twitched and he said, 'Taiyi Junior Brother, really, at such a crucial moment he also, where is he now?'"

"'They're here, people, people have arrived!'"

"As the Boundless Immortal's words fell, a somewhat panting voice was heard."

"The next moment, everyone saw two boundary beasts, straining somewhat, carrying the burly Taiyi True Person as they walked in."

"Seeing this, everyone present was speechless."

"You know, today is a great day for the Taiyi True Person's promotion to the Twelve Golden Immortals, yet he appears in this manner—what propriety is this?"

"'Drink, I still want to drink!'"

"Just then, the Taiyi True Person rolled over and immediately rolled off the boundary beast, still muttering, obviously still not sober."

"'Hurry, why not give the Taiyi Junior Brother a sobering draught?'"

"Even if his temper were good, the Boundless Immortal's face sank completely at this moment, urging Fei Xiong to give the Taiyi True Person a sobering draught."

"If he could, he would really want to cancel the Taiyi True Person's promotion to the Twelve Golden Immortals, but he cannot decide this himself, so he can only try to make up for it."

"'Yes, Senior Martial Brother!'"

"Fei Xiong did not dare delay, bringing a few disciples to hold down the Taiyi True Person and began to administer the sobering medicine."

"It is obvious that this was prepared in advance by Fei Xiong, showing that he had also anticipated such a scene."

"But the drunken Taiyi True Person is anything but honest; immediately, there ensued a chaos of chickens flying and dogs jumping."

"Originally solemn venue also became somewhat ludicrous."

"'Alas, sometimes being this senior martial brother is really exhausting!'"

"Looking at all this, the Boundless Immortal only felt somewhat weary."

"In the crowd, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a cold smile."

"Yes, he has indeed resigned himself to fate and given up the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals."

"However, this does not mean he will compromise with fate."

"'My fate is in my hands, not heaven's. Ao Fellow Daoist said it well; even if fate is unjust, I will also resist this fate, using my lowly body to knock out a few teeth of fate!'"

"The Taiyi True Person's drunkenness is naturally the work of Shen Gongbao."

"He spent a lot of money buying a jar of fine wine from Ao Yifan, just to make the Taiyi True Person embarrass himself."

"Otherwise, even though the Taiyi True Person is usually unconventional, it would be impossible for him to get himself drunk on such a crucial day."

All of this is Shen Gongbao's rebellion against an unjust fate!

Although, in Ao Yifan's view, it is somewhat petty and somewhat not presentable.

However, at least at this moment, Shen Gongbao feels that his thoughts have become clear.

Ignoring Shen Gongbao's thoughts at this moment, after Fei Xiong and the others had been busy for a while, he was shocked to discover that Taiyi Zhenren actually had no intention of sobering up.

"Senior Brother, Taiyi's senior brother is drunk to an extreme degree; we can't wake him!"

Fei Xiong was sweating profusely; after all, a drunken Taiyi Zhenren is harder to hold down than a New Year's sacrificial pig.

"Hmm?"

Wuliang Xianweng furrowed his brows and immediately stepped forward.

However, no matter what methods he used, he could never wake Taiyi Zhenren.

"What kind of drink did he have? He's gotten so incredibly drunk!"

This even shocked Wuliang Xianweng.

It's no wonder he was so surprised; after all, Taiyi Zhenren had already ascended to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

To make an immortal of Great Luo Golden Immortal level become such a sorry sight, this liquor is certainly not ordinary.

If Ao Yifan were here, he would surely shout loudly: "Produced in Chentangguan, it must be a fine product!"

After all that trouble, Wuliang Xianweng also gave up.

In the end, Wuliang Xianweng could only choose to compromise, waving his hand and saying: "Fei Xiong, have someone help Taiyi's junior brother directly onto the lotus platform. Right, I recall that this time Taiyi's junior brother's disciple will also be present—where is he now?"

"I am Nezha, the Third Prince..."
