Chapter 128: Chapter 127, Bai Jin’s Response (Please Subscribe)

Bai Jin looked puzzled and asked, "The treasured magic treasures of the Dragon Clan do not recognize their masters?"

The Old Dragon King wiped the corner of his eye and said sorrowfully, "Brother Bai Jin, you do not know, our Dragon Clan is poor! A single magic treasure is so precious that we wish we could split it to use it twice. This dragon robe I am wearing has been passed down through three generations, patched and mended from one generation to the next, and is still planned to be passed down further. The magic treasure Dragon Ball that Aoguang stole has been handed down since the era of the Ancestor Dragon. It is the Treasure of the Palace for our East Sea Dragon Clan, a magic treasure used by all in our clan.

Whenever someone from the Dragon Clan needs to use the magic treasure, they must propose it to me, and then I hand the magic treasure to them. It must be returned right after use.

But this time, that dragon cub Aoguang, after borrowing the Dragon Ball, sneaked away, and now even I cannot track his whereabouts."

Bai Jin sighed and said, "The heart of parents is indeed pitiful!" and earnestly added, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will mobilize thousands of disciples from Jie Sect to search for your son and ensure his safe return."

The Old Dragon King, in deep sorrow, spoke, "If that rebellious son is lost, he’s lost, but my magic treasure Dragon Ball must never be lost!"

In Bai Jin’s mind, there was only one thought: Damn~heartless!

Old Dragon King, with a sorrow-stricken face, bent over and walked out. His sorrow was so intense; it was even more profound than if he had lost a son.

Bai Jin stood in front of the Bird’s Nest. Remembering the words of the Old Dragon King, his face grew increasingly cloudy, and he murmured, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, getting sick from anger helps no one. It doesn’t matter; I will soon no longer be the Outer Disciple Leader. What is there to be angry about? No anger, no anger, I won’t be angry!"

Zhao Gongming flew over from afar, and with a bow, said, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Bai Jin asked, "Were they all detained?"

"They are all locked up in the Pocket World," Zhao Gongming hesitated and then asked, "Senior Brother, how should they be dealt with?"

"Take their identity cards, expel them from the sect, and if they dare to make a fuss, directly kill them," Bai Jin replied coldly.

Zhao Gongming’s eyes widened dramatically, somewhat panicked, "Senior Brother, isn’t this punishment a bit too severe?"

"What do you think should be done in your opinion?"

Zhao Gongming spoke tactfully, "They are all our fellow sect brothers. A little reprimand might be sufficient. I’ve seen them listening to the teachings under Senior Brother Duobao and chatting happily with Qiu Shouxian."

"Then hand them over to me, I will deal with them myself."

Zhao Gongming opened his mouth, unable to argue, and said helplessly, "Let me handle it! Senior Brother, rest assured, I will ensure they are expelled from the sect."

"Thank you, Junior Brother."

"Senior Brother trusts me; it is my duty," Zhao Gongming turned and left.

...

On Duobao Island, the towering Duobao Tower stands, with Lord Duobao sitting cross-legged inside, surrounded by a crowd of Jie Sect Disciples.

Long-eared Ding Guang flew in from the outside, stood inside the tower, and with a bow, said, "Senior Brother, Bai Jin has just expelled over a dozen disciples, all of whom were your fellow sect members listening to your teachings."

Duobao, seated on his cushion, replied with a profound voice, "To him, a dozen disciples are merely like dust, insignificant compared to the time when he once expelled over five thousand disciples."

A burly man with a black face and fierce teeth suddenly stood up, furiously shouting, "Such excessive bullying! The Saint took us under his wing, taught us the great Tao, by what right does he expel us?"

A scantily clad Shell Demon stood up, fire in her eyes, and screeched, "Exactly! He just joined the sect a bit earlier than us, what great feats has he accomplished? This arrogant and contemptuous behavior, treating us like insects, we ask Senior Brother to stand up for us."

"Exactly, does he know how hard it is for us to seek the Tao? A single word from him cuts off the Dao path of a fellow daoist. Such a great enmity cannot be settled until death."

"Who does he think he is? He is just another Outer Disciple, isn’t he?"

...

More and more disciples stood up, and in a moment, the crowd was excited; they all bowed deeply and said, "We ask Senior Brother Duobao to make a decision for us."

A grand voice echoed within the Duobao Tower.

A smile appeared on Duobao’s face. "Junior Brother Bai Jin, whoever wins the people’s hearts, wins the world. This is the unique path of a king, and you are not up to it."

Duobao rose from his cushion, and a grand voice resounded in the hall: "Jie Sect teaches without discrimination, spreading salvation to all beings. It is indeed improper for Junior Brother Bai Jin to behave like this. I will seek an audience with our Master."

Thousands of disciples in the hall excitedly shouted, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Duobao’s figure disappeared from the hall.

...

Duobao Island and the sea floated towards Golden Turtle Island, striding along a quiet path towards the interior. Just as he entered Biyou Palace, he heard voices inside.

"Master, just now the East Sea Dragon King came to pay a visit, but was blocked by several Outer Disciples. Fortunately, Junior Brother Zhao Gongming was close by and handled it appropriately, neither servile nor overbearing..."

"Zhao Gongming~"

"Yes, Master! You should have seen Junior Brother Zhao Gongming’s bearing just now. Standing alone on the sea, silencing thousands of miles, it is rare in all ages to find such a person! Such demeanor is comparable to Senior Brother, it’s really too confining for him to be an ordinary disciple!"

Duobao’s heart stirred. Is Bai Jin trying to shift the blame? Making his junior brother take responsibility for his own actions? How could such a person deserve the title of Jie Sect’s leading disciple?

Duobao gave a bow and called out loudly, "Disciple seeks to see the Master."

The voice inside suddenly halted.

"Come in!"

Duobao stood up, and with head held high, he stepped forward into the hall where he saw Bai Jin sitting on a cushion.

Duobao knelt on a cushion and respectfully said, "Disciple pays respects to the Master."

"Rise up!"

Duobao sat cross-legged on a cushion and respectfully said, "Master, I have just learned that the East Sea Dragon Clan came to cause trouble, and a few junior brothers stopped them. However, Junior Brother Bai Jin suddenly appeared and expelled all those junior brothers who intervened from the sect."

Tongtian looked at Bai Jin with a half-smiling expression.

Bai Jin quickly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "No, it wasn’t me! Senior Brother, don’t talk nonsense. It was all done by Junior Brother Zhao Gongming."

Duobao said sternly, "Junior Brother, have you even lost this little bit of responsibility?"

Bai Jin felt so angry he wanted to vomit blood. Is it easy for me to give up the title of the first disciple leader? I finally persuaded the Master, and now you, Senior Brother, are messing things up!

"Master, Junior Brother Zhao Gongming has handled things properly and is the most suitable candidate!" Bai Jin quickly exclaimed.

Duobao said, "Master, because of Junior Brother Bai Jin’s improper handling, the Outer Disciples are now highly agitated!"

Both looked at each other, feeling that something was not quite right.

Tongtian spoke calmly, "Do not allow it. Bai Jin handled this incident very well."

Bai Jin suddenly looked up, shocked and exclaimed, "Master, you promised me!"

"I previously only said I’d consider it. Now I have decided, and you are still the most suitable."

Bai Jin felt a surge of frustration rise in his chest, his excitement swiftly turning cold.
