Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 148 Jie School Gathers at Chaos Residence
Yunxiao and her two sisters had already verified that it wasn’t anything special, but it was Golden Spirit’s first visit, and who knows what might happen.
It seemed that the standard set by their master previously was magical treasures, and she recharged them all in one go last time, which was quite spectacular.
Yunxiao then repeated the matter of the Crystal Ball to prepare for any eventuality.
"So there is such a quirky thing, truly fascinating."
Golden Spirit nodded and went back to busy herself for a while.
"This time it’s enough." When she appeared again, Golden Spirit was brimming with confidence.
"Big Sister, why did it take you so long to come out?" Bixiao asked curiously.
"It’s nothing." Golden Spirit’s expression was calm and collected as if she were talking about something trivial.
"I just brought all the magical treasures awarded to the War Division by Haotian."
Having said that, she even patted her waist lightly to reassure the Three Xiaos.
Even Qiong Xiao was left speechless by her move. True to being the eldest sister, her generosity knew no bounds!
If the Jade Emperor Haotian knew that the eldest sister was planning to use these magical treasures as meal money, he might be angered to death.
Those were reserved for the War Division, the guarantee of the division’s fighting strength.
Only their awesome eldest sister could pull off something like this.
"Let’s hurry." Golden Spirit urged them on again.
She refused to believe that these magical treasures wouldn’t be enough for meal money!
"Wait a minute!" Bixiao suddenly spoke up.
"What now?" Golden Spirit’s face took on a hint of impatience.
Being a naturally impatient person, having been interrupted continuously like this had already soured her mood.
"I think we should call one more person." Bixiao said slyly.
Above Mountain of Mind and Heart, six individuals stood, their immortal qi billowing around them, exuding an aura of sheer awesomeness.
"So I’m here just to pay for you guys, huh?" Zhao Gongming said with a laugh, scratching the back of his head.
His rugged looks and tall stature made such an action seem rather endearing.
"Hehe, to the capable go the spoils," Bixiao stuck out her tongue, her expression a blend of mischief and resignation.
"Why else would the Heavenly Court appoint you as the God of Wealth Wu? You must be loaded!"
"The amount I have to pay for me and my sisters is just a drop in the bucket, besides, you can buy it in the shop too."
Zhao Gongming was somewhat speechless; being the God of Wealth and being rich were not really the same thing. He might manage money, but it was the Heavenly Court’s money.
His actual salary was not that much.
However, seeing Bixiao like this, Zhao Gongming sighed helplessly. After all, she was his junior sister.
"If later Golden Spirit Big Sister and Goddess Wudang’s charge is in silver coins, big brother, you’ll just cover it, won’t you?"
"After all, the Treasure Basin is full of money, a little less won’t matter," Bixiao coaxed.
Zhao Gongming: "..."
"That’s the spirit!" Golden Spirit said with a hearty laugh.
She didn’t have much regard for the Heavenly Court; if Haotian dared to appoint her as the God of Wealth, then if the court still had any money left, she wouldn’t deserve the title.
"I brought my own, so there’s no need to trouble my junior brother," Goddess Wudang shook her head, not making things difficult for Zhao Gongming.
Her serene and graceful demeanor was instantly soothing to behold.
"Hey!" Seeing Golden Spirit Big Sister readily accepting, Zhao Gongming’s demeanor changed, proclaiming generously, "Money is no object. I, God of Wealth Wu, have plenty of it!"
When Bixiao junior sister was in the Jie School, it was all small fry, but Golden Spirit eldest sister was a different story.
Offending her would lead to lifetime regret!
That’s more like it.
Golden Spirit nodded in satisfaction. This junior brother hadn’t been raised in vain!
Yunxiao led everyone down the mountain to look for the location of Chaos Residence, but upon arriving at the spot, the Three Xiaos were dumbfounded.
Chaos Residence?
Looking at the house before them, which had grown much larger, was immensely tasteful, and decorated in a classical style, the Three Xiaos fell silent.
"Chaos Residence?"
Zhao Gongming read the restaurant’s sign aloud, his brows immediately furrowing, his face clouding with displeasure.
"The shopkeeper of this place is truly arrogant, to actually use ’Chaos’ as the name of the store."
Even our master wouldn’t dare to use the word ’Chaos’; a hidden little restaurant tucked away in deep mountains and old forests dares to make such an outrageous claim. How reckless!
"They have the capital to do so," Qiong Xiao said indifferently.
She had verified it a long time ago, if Brother Zhao Gongming couldn’t recognize the situation for what it is, he would only be asking for trouble.
"Even our master treats Shopkeeper Chen with great courtesy, which speaks volumes," she added.
"How many people in this world could be considered equals by our master?" Yunxiao explained in a gentle voice.
Brother Zhao Gongming is impulsive and has a fiery temper – too easily provoked. It’s better to clear things up beforehand, in case he inadvertently offends Shopkeeper Chen with disrespectful words. That would be a grave mistake.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming’s pupils shrunk. Even our master wants to befriend him?
That’s too powerful!
The temper he was about to unleash instantly retracted as Zhao Gongming chuckled sheepishly.
He instantly reined in his imposing aura, appearing to be a very simple and honest burly man.
"Brother, you’re so cowardly!" Bixiao, whose mouth was never one to hold back, teased with a grin.
Zhao Gongming turned beet red and glared with bulging eyes, saying righteously, "Brother, this isn’t being cowardly, this is following one’s true nature."
"You’re too inexperienced to understand some truths. Know that those who achieve great things must have resilience and patience."
It wasn’t that he, Zhao Gongming, was cowardly!
His words inadvertently caused the women to laugh.
"Who would have thought our junior brother’s skin has grown thicker," Golden Spirit said, half-closing her eyes in mirth, teasingly.
The serene Goddess Wudang couldn’t help but interject, "I think what senior sister says is quite right."
Three Xiaos rolled her eyes exaggeratedly.
Despite having a good relationship with Brother Zhao Gongming, they had never seen such a cowardly side to him before.
But it was understandable.
After all, Shopkeeper Chen was someone even our master desired to make an ally of.
"What do you all know?" Zhao Gongming’s eyes shifted as he showed a look of admiration.
"In my life, the person I respect the most is our master! Anyone capable of making our master put aside his status to make friends on equal terms must certainly be a senior!"
"It is only right that I show respect! I must pay a visit!"
With that said, he strode towards the door.
Seeing Zhao Gongming take action, the women exchanged smiles and followed in his footsteps.
"Really now, this table is even cleaner than me, why do I have to wipe it every day!" Ao Ling grumbled discontentedly, yet her body honestly went about the work.
She only dared to mutter these complaints behind Chen Nuo’s back while he was in the backyard.
Even after just a few days, the power and mystery of her master had already been deeply etched into her mind.
Not to mention anything else, just the backyard that her master frequented had been enough to overturn her worldview.
The backyard was filled entirely with Flat Peach trees, a sight that would shock the mundane world.
It was said that although there were many Flat Peach trees, the method for planting them was extremely particular. Ordinary Immortal Clans, even if they obtained Flat Peaches with seeds, were unable to grow them.
That’s why Heavenly Court dared to host the Flat Peach Banquet.
Yet, our master had planted Flat Peaches throughout the backyard, which was tantamount to challenging Heavenly Court, defying the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
And the unique tea tree in the yard – although she didn’t know what kind of tea it was, just one glance at it was enough to immerse one’s Mind and Spirit, indicating it surely wasn’t of Mortal Grade.
Ao Ling wasn’t frightened by these actions that defied Heavenly Court; instead, it solidified her belief that her master was an extraordinary powerhouse.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to plant Flat Peach trees so brazenly.
