Chapter 614

~7 min read 1,217 words

What is going on? Even after giving gifts, is he still so directly trying to drive people away?

Thus, Jieyin immediately asked: "Junior Brother Tongtian, what is the meaning of this?"

Tongtian suddenly showed displeasure and questioned in return: "You two are Western Saints; I should have welcomed you for coming to offer congratulations, but if this is your attitude, then you two had better return."

"This meager congratulatory gift shall be treated as your apology to my Jie Sect."

Hearing these words, the faces of the two Saints twitched slightly.

Zhunti was already wanting to explode.

But he was still stopped by Jieyin, who asked in return: "Junior Brother Tongtian, what do you mean by this?"

Tongtian had an expression that said you should know what it means yourself.

Seeing such a situation, Jieyin knew that this was because he disliked that the treasures were too few and wanted to extort another sum.

Although he felt very dissatisfied in his heart, in order to make Tongtian relax his attitude toward the Journey to the West matter, it was best to ignore it.

Thus, Jieyin waved his hand again, and another batch of treasures appeared, the quantity clearly more than doubled.

Seeing that Jieyin was still quite generous, Tongtian's expression changed instantly, and he brought a smile.

"I have long heard that the two Saints are generous; it truly lives up to its reputation."

"Since you are here to offer congratulations, then quickly take your seats!"

After saying that, Tongtian waved his hand, and a banquet was set up inside the large palace.

It was very obvious that this had been prepared long ago.

Seeing this, the two Saints also secretly looked at each other, wanting to probe the truth at the banquet and incidentally give some hints.

If it really did not work, then they would put the matter on the table according to the current situation, so as to avoid unclear arguments when disputes arose later.

It was just that, regarding Tongtian's such greed for those treasures, the two Saints were truly confused.

One must know that for them as Saints, those treasures simply did not count for anything.

Even if they refined all those treasures or extracted the essence from them, they would not get any growth.

The reason for collecting them was just to add some foundation.

After all, as a Saint, if one could not even take out some treasures, would that not be losing face?

At the banquet, the two Saints saw the situation, and Zhunti spoke up.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, you also know that the Journey to the West Kalpa is now approaching."

"This is a great opportunity for our West; please do not interfere and make things difficult for us."

Hearing this, Tongtian was expressionless, but in reality, he was sneering in his heart.

"What kind of bullshit Western opportunity."

"I am going to snatch your opportunity; what can you do about it!"

But on the surface, Tongtian had an indifferent appearance.

"You two, the Journey to the West matter is known to all; why mention it again."

"Since it is your Western opportunity, you should go and strive for it yourselves."

"As for my Jie Sect, we certainly have our own Jie Sect opportunities; no need to trouble you two to worry."

These words did not state that he would not interfere with the Journey to the West, but he also did not explicitly say he would take action to interfere.

This also made the two Saints call him an old thief in their hearts.

But on the surface, they did not dare to force Tongtian to give a commitment any further.

After all, even if they wanted to force him, they simply could not beat Tongtian.

Helplessly, Jieyin and Zhunti had to accept the tone they had probed this time.

In their hearts, they had already begun to consider how to consolidate the Journey to the West Kalpa and minimize the loss of merit and destiny.

There was no need to stay here any longer, so the two Saints stood up.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, we have other important matters in the West; now that we have finished offering congratulations, it is time to leave."

"Yes, there will be plenty of time in the future; we will not disturb you further."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Tongtian was naturally happy.

However, a smile flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he immediately stood up and called out: "You two, stay!"

Seeing that Tongtian actually spoke to keep them, the two Saints were also very confused.

The two sides were actually not on good terms; how could Tongtian have such good intentions?

Thus, the two Saints were also a bit guarded in their hearts.

Tongtian said: "You two, how can you not leave a gift for the banquet? Could it be that you attended the banquet but forgot the etiquette?"

"You talk nonsense, just now!"

Zhunti was furious, pointing at Tongtian and wanting to lose his temper.

But Tongtian looked over with a cold gaze, and the powerful sense of oppression made Zhunti shut up instantly.

Seeing his Junior Brother suffer a setback, Jieyin naturally wanted to regain face.

He immediately questioned: "Junior Brother Tongtian, what is the meaning of this?"

Tongtian did not talk nonsense and said directly: "Naturally, it is to let you two know the etiquette."

Jieyin said with dissatisfaction: "Didn't we already give you those treasures? Could it be that you are not honoring the deal?"

"A dignified Jie Sect Jiaozhu, a Tongtian Saint, also wants to act like this!"

Facing Jieyin's anger, Tongtian remained calm and composed.

He glanced at the boy beside him, not intending to say it himself.

The boy received Tongtian's voice transmission in his heart and immediately faced Jieyin, saying: "The congratulatory gifts given by the two Saints earlier were for congratulating the re-establishment of the Jie Sect."

"But you did not give a banquet gift; our Jie Sect banquet did not invite you two, so to come uninvited and be entertained, do you two not even know a little bit of etiquette?"

Hearing this lecture from the boy, the faces of the two Saints turned green and white instantly.

They were Saints, but now they were actually being educated by a boy; even if it was under Tongtian's instruction, it made them lose face.

Especially in front of so many Jie Sect disciples.

If they really left like this today, I fear that in the future, this matter would definitely spread throughout the Primordial World.

Thinking that the Journey to the West Kalpa was about to begin, the face of the West was extremely important.

This was also prepared for increasing faith in the future.

Thus, Jieyin waved his hand in annoyance and sent out some more treasures.

"These, are they enough!"

Tongtian shook his head, sighing with a face full of regret.

"I did not expect that as two Saints, you would be so stingy."

"If this matter spreads, I do not know..."

Hearing this, Jieyin's hand holding the prayer beads tightened instantly.

But he still looked at Zhunti beside him and said: "Junior Brother."

Zhunti was already furious, and he waved his large hand.

"Give it to you, hmph!" ===== CHAPTER 616 =====
