Chapter 107: Chapter 107, Returning to Golden Turtle Island

Bai Jin’s gaze suddenly stiffened, then with an awkward smile, he waved and said, "Hey~ Master, you haven’t gone to sleep yet?"

Tongtian gave a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Impressive! You’ve even learned to run away from home now."

Bai Jin flipped over, got up, and knelt on the cushion, crying and shouting, "Master, I’m back, your disciple has finally returned!

Do you know what kind of days I’ve been having? I’ve been homeless and exposed to the elements, being chased by demons, pursued by the Witch Clan. It’s only after leaving you that I realized I can’t live on my own! I was wrong, I was truly wrong, your disciple has really made a mistake!"

"Homeless and exposed to the elements?"

Bai Jin nodded vigorously, mournfully saying, "I’ve gone many days without a full meal, just facing east every day, opening my mouth, and taking two breaths of East wind."

"How come you look fatter to me though?"

"That’s because the East wind carried your breath, Master."

"Being chased by demons, pursued by the Witch Clan?"

"Yes! Master, you don’t know how ferocious the demons outside are, how chaotic the Primordial Land is. Your disciple almost couldn’t make it back."

"How come I see you eating and drinking well among the Witch Clan, reveling in it?"

Bai Jin, shocked, said, "Master, you’ve been monitoring me?"

"As your master, I can survey the entirety of the Primordial World with a single thought."

"Master is incredible, your disciple is thoroughly convinced!"

"I think you’re the incredible one, your master here doesn’t even know when you started having dealings with the Houtu Ancestor Witch."

"Your disciple just happened to encounter the Houtu Ancestor Witch while searching for a mount for you. It was a chance meeting, and there’s nothing but a pure nodding acquaintance between me and her."

"Hehe~ Bai Jin ah! Since you’re back, let’s talk about it! Who gave you the guts to expel five thousand fellow sect members?"

Bai Jin shrank his neck, speaking softly, "Master, as you know, your disciple has always been very timid."

"Timid? I think your guts are quite big, using the excuse of not having money for an identity card to fool your master?"

"Master, that’s what I told people outside, the actual... no, the reason isn’t that."

"What’s the reason?"

Bai Jin straightened his back, seriously saying, "It’s about unity. Without unity, there’s no place in Jie Sect. Since they’re not united, they cannot be Jie Sect Disciples."

Tongtian slightly furrowed his brows, he had seen those demons and goblins, indeed they were not united, and they maintained a strong guard against each other, as if they were wary of the entire world. If that was the reason, it might be passable. He asked kindly, "How did you determine that they weren’t united?"

"I brought those disciples to my Taoist sanctuary. Half of them stepped onto the island with their left foot first, and the other half with their right foot first. Isn’t that quite disunited? In a fit of anger, your disciple expelled them all from the sect."

Tongtian’s body swayed, his fingers trembling slightly, he looked at Bai Jin and said, "This is what you call disunity?"

Bai Jin nodded as if it were only natural, "Yes! They can’t even step in unison, let alone work together with one heart."

Tongtian slapped his thigh suddenly, exclaiming loudly, "Bai Jin, do you think I can be so easily deceived? Do you really think you can fool me with such an excuse?!"

Bai Jin let out a sigh, "Alright! No more hiding, I did it on purpose, your disciple is willing to accept the punishment."

He boldly declared, "Master, as long as I’m still the Outer Disciple Leader, I will never allow you to recklessly accept disciples unless you revoke my title of Outer Disciple Leader. Then you can accept as many disciples as you want."

"You’re trying to be lazy, don’t even think about it!"

Tongtian and Bai Jin, one above and one below, stared each other down.

After a moment, Tongtian said helplessly, "I don’t really have any other hobbies, except wanting to accept a few disciples. Why can’t you understand that?"

"Master, are you just accepting a few disciples?

Eldest Uncle goes through a strict selection to take one Direct Disciple and one Registered disciple.

Second Master requires passing twelve Big Arrays for disciple acceptance.

You, on the other hand, accept them all, regardless of character or cultivation. Once you took in five thousand, and not even ten thousand in two go-arounds! Also, you let them roam freely; that’s not accepting disciples, it’s like running a wildlife sanctuary."

"What’s wrong with running a wildlife sanctuary?! Why do others have no objections? Only you oppose your master."

Bai Jin, with stiff resolve, said, "Master, whatever others think, I don’t care, but I must care

Because you’re my Master, I must consider your best interests—Master, Master, your disciple treats you like a father and could never stand by and watch you make a mistake indifferent. I’m willing to take any scolding or beating." Having said that, he bowed deeply to the ground.

For a moment, Tongtian’s gaze became distant, and beside Bai Jin, he seemed to see two figures standing, one was Eldest Brother, and the other Second Brother, both looking at him with concern.

Tongtian laughed, shook his head, and with a sigh said, "Bai Jin, you’re the third person to dare say I was wrong. Get up!"

Bai Jin raised his head and quietly asked, "Master, you’re not angry anymore?"

"Not angry anymore."

Bai Jin immediately got up and ran to the front, expertly sitting on the steps beneath the seat, grinning and asking, "Master, you said I’m the third one? Who are the other two?"

Tongtian said leisurely, "Naturally, they’re your Eldest Uncle and Second Master.

Bai Jin, do you know why I want to accept so many disciples?"

"Could it not be because Master you enjoy gathering disciples?"

Tongtian coughed once, then said, "That’s a tiny part of the reason, but not the main one. The main thing is our Jie Sect lacks a Supreme Treasure to suppress the Destiny. Previously, in Kunlun Mountain, The Three Pure Ones had their destinies intertwined, so there was no fear of losing Destiny. Now that we’ve set up our own Taoist sanctuary, our Jie Sect must have a means to suppress our Destiny."

Bai Jin hastily called out, "Master, I have Treasure Money that can suppress Destiny."

Tongtian looked at Bai Jin with a profound expression, "Are you willing to part with it? To suppress Jie Sect’s Destiny, this Treasure Money will belong to your master."

Bai Jin extended his hand, and the Treasure Money appeared, carelessly tossing it toward Tongtian, nonchalantly saying, "Master, if you like it, take it. What belongs to your disciple is yours, and what’s yours is, of course, still yours."

Tongtian laughed heartily, "You’re quite generous. This Treasure Money is indeed sufficient to suppress the Destiny of a sect, a family, a clan, but far from enough to suppress the Destiny of a sect.

However, I do need to use it for a bit; to refine some Merit Money, to reward disciples for fun later."

Bai Jin, disheartened, said, "The Treasure Money is not enough?"

Tongtian elaborated leisurely, "That’s why I plan to set up an Array Formation in East Sea Immortal Island, with thousands of disciples stationed on the island as the Array Base, and cast the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to suppress Jie Sect’s Destiny."
