Chapter 265: Chapter 238, Yang Jiao Becomes a Disciple_2

Yang Jiao turned his head and his pupils shrunk, realizing there was no escape. His eyes filled with unwillingness as he thought: father, mother, sister, I can no longer avenge you. He closed his eyes to accept death’s arrival.

Boom~ A sound echoed, and a blue barrier appeared in front of Yang Jiao. The nine beams of light from the rake hit the barrier and silently dissipated.

A voice echoed between heaven and earth: "Why must you strike a child down with such severity?"

Marshal Tianpeng, spinning the Nine-toothed Nail Rake in his hands and placing it on his back, said in a solemn tone, "I am Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly Court, executing the Heavenly Rules on the command of Your Majesty. Who dares to obstruct the affairs of the Heavenly Court?"

Yang Jiao opened his eyes, gasping heavily, a look of joy in his eyes. Have I been saved? He looked around, wondering who had saved him.

In an instant, space twisted, and everyone was instantly transported from the beach to the sea surface. A young man in white was seated on a rock, grilling a large scallop, the fragrance wafting through the air.

A look of shock passed through the eyes of Marshal Tianpeng, who quickly knelt half on the ocean surface, cupping his fists and shouting, "Marshal Tianpeng pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor’s Master, the Divine Lord of Money!"

The other Heavenly Soldiers also hurriedly knelt down on the sea surface and cried, "We pay our respects to the Heavenly Emperor’s Master, the Divine Lord of Money!"

Bai Jin laughed awkwardly, thinking, the script written by my uncle is really awkward!

Yang Jiao looked at Bai Jin in shock. Marshal Tianpeng had actually knelt and submitted? Who is this divine being?! His gaze growing increasingly fervent.

Bai Jin said indifferently, "No one in the East Sea may resort to violence, that’s my decree."

Marshal Tianpeng hesitated, then said, "The lesser god acts on the command of His Majesty to capture a criminal, please make way, Divine Lord."

"Hmph~" Bai Jin scoffed. The sky and earth lost color as thunderous roars filled the air, resembling the wrath of the heavens. A grand and majestic voice echoed between Heaven and Earth, "Go back and tell Zhang Bairen, I will protect this person. If he is dissatisfied, let him come personally to East Sea to find me."

Marshal Tianpeng spoke with sincerity and fear, "Yes! Yes!" He quickly stood up and led the Heavenly Soldiers to flee in a hurry.

The expression on Bai Jin’s face slightly cleared, the thunder disappeared, and the wind and clouds calmed. Peace spread across Heaven and Earth.

Yang Jiao, with fervent eyes, quickly knelt on the sea surface, bowing deeply and calling out, "I pay my respects to the Great Immortal, please accept me as your disciple."

Bai Jin, as if unnoticed, continued grilling the huge scallop, occasionally sprinkling his own honeyed seasoning onto it, creating sizzling sounds.

Yang Jiao knelt obediently, his eyes filled with anticipation, watching the Great Immortal who merely by showing up frightened Marshal Tianpeng and dared to call out the name of that tyrant, the Heavenly Emperor, without any fear of the Heavenly Court. This was the ideal master for him, one who could definitely make him stronger.

After a while, the surface of the scallop turned golden brown, covered with white crystal-clear vermicelli, and the aroma spread in all directions.

Suddenly Bai Jin asked, "Why do you wish to be my disciple?"

Yang Jiao quickly looked up, his eyes filled with determination, and said, "I want to become stronger, I want to take revenge."

Bai Jin thought to himself, my little uncle is really heartless, forcing a member of the imperial family to this extent.

Now, Bai Jin didn’t want to cause more trouble, he straightforwardly said, "Since you have managed to escape to the East Sea, there’s a fate between us. So be it! Today, I will accept you as my disciple."

Yang Jiao, excited, bowed deeply shouting, "Thank you, Master! I thank you, Master!"

Bai Jin gathered the grilled scallops and stood up, saying, "Rise! Follow me."

"Yes!" Yang Jiao quickly stood up, respectably standing behind Bai Jin.

A cloud formed, carrying the two towards the Primordial Continent.

Bai Jin, with his disciple, flew over much of the Primordial Continent and landed on the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

Yang Jiao anxiously looked around and whispered, "Master, is this where you cultivate the Tao?"

"No, this is my Master’s cultivation site, follow me, and remember to call him Master when we meet."

Yang Jiao nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

Bai Jin led Yang Jiao towards Yuxu Palace.

Bai He, leading the Four Unlikes out of the bamboo forest, joyously called, "Senior brother!"

Bai Jin grinned and said, "Junior brother, where are you off to?"

Bai He waved the reins in his hand and responded, "Master ordered me to take Four Unlikes for a walk to prevent it from getting too fat."

Four Unlikes rolled its eyes covertly, then fell into self-pity. What does it matter if I get fat or not? Master doesn’t ride me anyway!

Bai Jin walked over, waved his hand, and a row of candied haws appeared in front of Bai He, saying with a smile, "These are the new candied haws I’ve recently made, a third generation improved version. You try them first."

Third generation improved version? Bai He’s eyes lit up, quickly he packed away the candied haws, joyfully saying, "Thank you, senior brother!"

"Is Master here?"

"Master is in the great hall."

Bai Jin and Bai He clasped their hands in farewell, taking Yang Jiao towards the great hall.

Bai Jin walked into the great hall and kneeled on a cushion, bowing respectfully, "Disciple Bai Jin pays respect to Master, wishing Master a flourishing Saint Dao."

Yang Jiao also quickly kneeled behind Bai Jin, respectfully saying, "Disciple Yang Jiao, pays respects to Master!"

Sitting in the main seat, Primordial Venerable nodded slightly and said, "You may both rise."

Bai Jin sat down cross-legged on the cushion.

Yang Jiao also mimicked sitting cross-legged, sneakily glancing at the middle-aged man sitting in authority in the main seat, stern and imposing, authoritative without anger, Yang Jiao quickly lowered his head.

Bai Jin said with a smile, "Master, this is my newly accepted disciple. What does Master think?"

Primordial Venerable smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good!" With a wave of his hand, a bright light streaked across the hall, "Clang~" a resonant sound echoed, and the light landed in front of Yang Jiao, transforming into a Fangtian Halberd.

Primordial Venerable said, "This Fangtian Halberd is bestowed upon you for protection."

Bai Jin promptly said, "Aren’t you going to thank Master? There are few in the entire Primordial World who receive such treasures from Master."

Yang Jiao quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Primordial Venerable chuckled, "It’s not some priceless item. Take it! Cultivate diligently and when you roam the Primordial World, do not disgrace your master."

Yang Jiao looked up and said, "Yes!"

"You may leave. Bai Jin, stay."

Yang Jiao stood up, grasped the Fangtian Halberd and took a deep breath to lift it forcefully. He immediately stumbled, stepping back holding the halberd, his eyes filled with astonishment—he thought it would be very heavy, but it was much lighter than he imagined.

Primordial Venerable said, "This Fangtian Halberd is a spiritual treasure, its size and weight can be changed at will."

Yang Jiao quickly clasped his hands together, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Master!" and retreated from the Yuxu Palace with the Fangtian Halberd.

A golden-brown roasted scallop appeared in Bai Jin’s hand, "Master, this is a roasted scallop meticulously prepared by your disciple. Please, taste it."

Primordial Venerable hooked his hand, and the scallop immediately floated over, hovering in front of him. He looked down, nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his sleeve, stored the scallop.

Kneeling below, Bai Jin showed a smile, Hmm~ it seems Master is very pleased.

Through years of offering food, Bai Jin had discerned some patterns, such as whenever he brought any delicacies to Eldest Uncle, Eldest Uncle would gladly accept.

The delicacies he gave to his own Master, Master would always consume heartily in front of him.

However, Second Master was different. For food items given to Second Master, if he was satisfied, he would save them for a time when he was alone before tasting them; if not, he would give them to Bai He, instructing him to dispose of the food.

Eldest Uncle had an all-embracing nature, accepting everything in sight as his own. Master was informal, not caring about outward appearances. Second Master, however, had a significant celebrity burden, very conscious about his image.

Primordial Venerable said, "You are here for Yang Jiao."

Bai Jin nodded repeatedly, "Master is perceptive, nothing can escape your eyes. This child, Yang Jiao, shares a master-disciple bond with me, but he is Yaoji’s son, which makes me somewhat anxious."
