Chapter 2454: You are truly a disgrace to Fairy Artifacts

This time, Tianlin didn't even wait for Ye Zhangqing to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted.

And you still sent one to me, treating me like a three-year-old child.

Once a Fairy Artifact acknowledges a master, can it still be transferred? You're probably just showing off here on purpose.

He also glanced at the Myriad Soul Banner spirit in Ye Zhangqing's embrace, already deeply asleep, having ignored him the whole time, only having given it a quick glance at the start; Tianlin really gave up.

This little thing still looks down on him.

If it were any other artifact spirit, he would have already slapped it away; after all, he is the esteemed young master of the Heavenly Family, one of the top five… wrong, now he should be one of the four great Yāoniè.

And still be looked down upon by others.

But the Myriad Soul Banner is a Fairy Artifact, and it indeed seems to have that qualification.

Just as Tianlin was beating his chest and stamping his feet, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared in Yuàn zhōng, and Ye Zhangqing also turned his head to look.

Upon seeing him, Tianlin's expression turned strange as he rose and offered a salute.

"Greetings, Mirror Ancestor."

This old man is none other than the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Family's Fairy Artifact, the Myriad Heavens Mirror, which Tianlin had just mentioned.

Within the Heavenly Family, he is also called Mirror Ancestor by many clansmen.

Hearing that, Mirror Ancestor nodded slightly, then lectured him as an elder would a junior.

"As the young master of my Heavenly Family, how can I be full of complaints?"

"Yes, Mirror Ancestor's teachings are correct."

Hearing that, Tianlin's mouth twitched, but he still nodded in agreement.

This is the artifact spirit of his Heavenly Family's Fairy Artifact—always loving to lecture this and that, really annoying; where could the Myriad Soul Banner's spirit be cute?

But Tianlin couldn't help it, after all, Mirror Ancestor is, in theory, of the same generation as his own ancestor.

At this moment, Mirror Ancestor's gaze also fell upon the Myriad Soul Banner spirit in Ye Zhangqing's embrace, a strange color flashing across his face before he spoke in a deep voice.

"I heard a fellow Daoist has come to my Heavenly Family; I came especially to pay a visit—could this be how you treat guests?"

His voice contained the unique power of a Fairy Artifact, immediately awakening the Myriad Soul Banner spirit.

Immediately, the little guy also glanced at Mirror Ancestor, thinking that since he had awakened, and we are both Fairy Artifact spirits, similar existences, he should get up and say something.

But who would have thought that just a quick glance caused the Myriad Soul Banner spirit to wiggle its butt, shift into a more comfortable pose, and look like it was about to fall back into deep sleep.

Lying in his master's arms, that's just good sleep, peace of mind.

But seeing this, Mirror Ancestor's mouth twitched uncontrollably—you little bastard, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

Immediately his face darkened, his voice rose a few notches, and he spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"Fellow Daoist, are you not welcoming me?"

After being startled awake again, this time the Myriad Soul Banner spirit also felt a bit disgruntled, rubbing its sleepy eyes and lazily crawling out of Ye Zhangqing's embrace.

Standing on the ground, he lifted his head to look at Mirror Ancestor; though small in stature, his aura was in no way lacking.

With hands on his hips, he replied.

"Not welcome, I have no interest in knowing you—if there's nothing else, just go."

"Huh???"

Hearing that, Mirror Ancestor was stunned; we are both Fairy Artifact spirits, and over the years it has seen few of its kind—countable on one's fingers.

Now that it learned a fellow Daoist artifact spirit had come to the Heavenly Family, it had specially appeared to visit, never expecting to be treated this way.

Logically, as fellow Fairy Artifact spirits we should naturally feel close; what's with this inexplicable hostility?

Actually, the Myriad Soul Banner spirit is like this only because this old man is annoying.

It was sleeping soundly in its master's arms.

All around was Ye Zhangqing's scent, making it feel at ease, but this old man comes along calling everyone "fellow Daoist" and demanding hospitality—I have no leisure for that.

So the Myriad Soul Banner spirit impatiently waved its hand, signaling Mirror Ancestor not to bother it.

Upon hearing this, Mirror Ancestor blinked slightly, then after regaining composure, gritted his teeth and said.

"We haven't met before, have we, fellow Daoist?"

"No, we haven't."

The little guy replied irritably, his face full of impatience.

And seeing this, Mirror Ancestor furrowed his brows even tighter.

"Then why, fellow Daoist, do you show such hostility upon first meeting?"

"Because you're annoying, disturbing my rest with my master."

"Huh??? Master???"

Upon hearing that, Mirror Ancestor's gaze finally fell on Ye Zhangqing; he had heard before that this Fairy Artifact had been obtained by a young Yāoniè.

Back then, Mirror Ancestor sighed, "What tremendous luck!"

Such a great bargain could be snatched up by this junior.

Anyway, if it were Mirror Ancestor, it would certainly not acknowledge a junior as its master.

Therefore, at this moment his gaze toward Ye Zhangqing also carried a scrutinizing intent.

It wasn't hostile either, just like an elder looking at a junior in the family.

But this gaze instantly made the Myriad Soul Banner spirit displeased.

Ye Zhangqing is its master, the one it likes most; this old fellow arrives and is annoying, and now he looks at the master with that gaze—how could it be pleased? It immediately stretched out its short hand and bluntly pointed at Mirror Ancestor, saying.

"Old fogey, what are you looking at? Keep your eyes respectful—my master is not someone you can size up like that."

"Huh???"

Hearing that, Mirror Ancestor frowned, glanced again at the Myriad Soul Banner spirit, and spoke in a colder tone.

"You little brat, I originally came to visit out of consideration for our shared lineage, but who knew you'd be this ignorant."

We Fairy Artifacts, although we acknowledge humans as masters, are utterly different from those acquired magical artifacts.

Our Fairy Artifacts acknowledging a master is not about sinking or floating, but cooperation; how could you be so obsequious, like a slave? The master is a companion, but not your parents; your attitude is truly too fawning.

Bullshit, what do you know, you old thing, get lost.

However, Jingzu's words directly made the little guy bristle, and he rebuked him bluntly.

And he also directly told the other party to get lost.

Jingzu, who has enjoyed a privileged position in the Heavenly Family for many years, when has he ever received such treatment?

In the Heavenly Family, which generation has not treated it with respect, all considering themselves juniors.

Now being pointed at the nose and told to get lost by other Fairy Artifact spirits, how could Jingzu swallow this anger?

His expression instantly darkened, his eyes icy as he stared at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner spirit, and he coldly said.

Since, fellow Daoist, you are not showing respect but rather disgracing our Fairy Artifacts, today I have reason to teach you how to be a qualified Fairy Artifact, and how, as a Fairy Artifact spirit, to interact with humans.

Rather than merely groveling and fawning to curry favor with people.

Hearing Jingzu's words, Tianlin's expression changed drastically; is he about to make a move? He immediately hurried to speak.

Jingzu, this……

Young Master, this is a matter between us Fairy Artifact spirits; please do not interfere, Young Master. I know the limits; I will not harm its foundation.

Jingzu truly felt that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner spirit had disgraced their Fairy Artifacts, especially in its attitude toward the master—it simply had no dignity.

Moreover, it spouted wild talk; therefore today I will definitely give it a lesson.
