Chapter 269: Chapter 242: Seeking Help from Multiple Parties

Bai Jin stepped forward and made a bow, saying: "Disciple greets Master!"

Taishang nodded slightly with a gentle voice: "Come, sit, and taste my new tea."

"Yes!" Bai Jin stood up, walked to the front of Taishang, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for Master, and then one for himself.

Bai Jin sat down, lifted the teacup to taste, sipped his lips, and without changing his expression, put down the cup, finding it hard to drink, said enthusiastically: "Master, what tea is this?"

Taishang smiled and said: "This is a new type of tea tree I discovered, named Coiled Dragon Tea. The tea tree resembles a coiled dragon; the color is mysteriously yellow, and the flavor is uniquely fragrant yet fishy."

Bai Jin nodded and said: "Truly a fine tea!"

Taishang laughed heartily: "Glad you like it. Take a jar with you when you leave."

Bai Jin made a bow and said: "Thank you, Master."

"Master, your days are becoming more and more leisurely."

Taishang stroked his beard, chuckled, and said: "I’m old, I don’t want to do much anymore. Just enjoying tea and flowers every day is quite nice."

Bai Jin set his teacup down, quickly said: "Master, you are not old, you still look young!"

"Hehe~" Taishang chuckled and said: "Tell me! What brought you here this time? Did you provoke Nuwa and Ping Xin again?"

"No!" Bai Jin replied solemnly: "Master, do you know about Princess Yaoji’s matter?"

Taishang nodded his head, "Continue~"

Bai Jin looked around carefully and whispered: "Disciple suspects that the Western Sect is behind the incident with Princess Yaoji."

"Oh~ Why do you say that?"

"Eh! I don’t really have any evidence, it’s just a feeling."

"Western Sect~" Taishang closed his eyes, his mind traversing through the Three Realms and Six Paths, all past beings appeared in his mind, especially focusing on Princess Yaoji.

After a moment, Taishang opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed.

There indeed seems to be someone driving Princess Yaoji’s descent, which is quite peculiar, but I am unable to discern who made the move."

Bai Jin immediately said: "Then it must be a Saint, it can’t be my Masters, Nuwa, or Ping Xin carrying out such schemes against Heavenly Court without reason, leaving only the Western Sect, certainly, two Masters from the West have plotted something."

"Are you sure Nuwa and Ping Xin have not interfered?"

Bai Jin immediately nodded and affirmed: "Disciple is certain."

Taishang looked towards the west, his brow slightly furrowed, if the two junior brothers from the Western Sect had interfered, the incident with Princess Yaoji is not so simple, nor just a matter of violating Heavenly Rules anymore.

Bai Jin tentatively asked: "Master, what exactly are the two Masters from the Western Sect plotting, do you know?"

Taishang did not answer, pondered for a moment and said: "Bai Jin, there is something you need to help me with."

Bai Jin immediately stood up, bowed, and said: "Please instruct me, Master."

"Save Princess Yaoji."

"What⊙∀⊙?" Bai Jin suddenly looked up, astonished at Taishang, saying: "Master, you want me to save Princess Yaoji?"

Taishang nodded.

Bai Jin grimaced and said: "Master, are you overestimating me a bit? With my ability, how can I possibly ensure Princess Yaoji’s safety under the Heavenly Rules? How about lending me your Tai Chi Diagram?"

Taishang shook his head: "I cannot intervene."

"Why not?"

"Primordial is practicing his Tao, executing his will. If I save Princess Yaoji, afterwards, will my Eight Sceneries Palace still have peaceful days?"

"Master, you can’t just send your disciple to his death, can you?!"

Taishang responded, "Although I can’t intervene, don’t you still have your Master? Your Master is not afraid of your Master Primordial."

"Master, doesn’t this mean you are setting up my Master?"

Taishang leisurely sipped his tea and said, "I haven’t done anything at all."

Bai Jin stared at his Master, flabbergasted. Eldest Uncle, that’s downright shameless.

Taishang chuckled and said, "Go ahead and do it! I’ve got your back."

Bai Jin could only helplessly respond, "Then Master, can you at least tell me what the Western Sect is planning?"

Taishang pondered for a moment and then said, "If the Western Sect has devised such a plan, it’s definitely Zhunti. Knowing him as I do, one reason he’s targeting Princess Yaoji is to create chaos in the Heavenly Court, thus avenging their previous humiliation by you toward the Western Sect. Such is his nature.

Secondly, by using Primordial’s hand, he plans to kill Princess Yaoji to sever the bonds of camaraderie between the Heavenly Court and The Three Pure Ones."

Bai Jin confusedly asked, "But how could he know for sure that Master Primordial would take action?"

"This is the Tao of Primordial; how could it be miscalculated?"

"Disciple understands," Bai Jin nodded.

"Bai Jin, you mustn’t let your Master know about this for now. Given his temperament, who knows what trouble he might stir up."

"Disciple understands."

"Go now!"

"Disciple takes his leave."

Bai Jin walked out of Eight Sceneries Palace, transforming into a streak of Divine Light soaring into the sky.

Underneath the tea tree, Taishang leisurely sipped his tea, thinking how none were worry-free!

Several days later, Bai Jin went to pay respect to his Master at Biyou Palace as usual.

Inside the main hall of Biyou Palace, Bai Jin bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master, and wishes the Saint Dao to flourish."

The figure of Tongtian Sect Master appeared on the principal seat, smiling as he said, "Rise!"

"Thank you, Master!" Bai Jin stood up, sat on the cushion, and smilingly asked, "Master, you seem very happy this year; is there some good news?"

The Tongtian Sect Master, sizing up Bai Jin, laughed and said, "Nothing much, just won some Merit Coins from your Second Master."

Bai Jin immediately gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Master’s gambling skill is unmatched in the Primordial World."

"Haha~" Tongtian laughed twice and said, "If it weren’t for Primordial’s trickery, I would have won even more."

"Master, Disciple came to greet you today, but also has a matter to report."

"Oh? What is it?" asked Tongtian curiously.

Bai Jin cautiously glanced at Tongtian Sect Master above him, then suddenly stood up, soaring up to grab the Sect Master’s leg, and shouted, "Master, save me!"

The smile on Tongtian Sect Master’s face froze, and he said irritably, "Get up and talk properly."

"No!" Bai Jin cried out in distress, "Master, my disciple is betraying his teacher! He left the Jie Sect alone and ran off to the Primordial Continent with the intention to unseal the mountain and rescue his mother.

Master, you know, after the incident with Princess Yaoji, many Great Powers have laid their schemes. It’s not something I can meddle in. Isn’t this dragging me into the whirlpool?!

Second Master, Senior Hao Tian, and even a Heavenly Rule—none of them can I afford to offend!"

Tongtian just let Bai Jin clutch his leg, laughing and said, "Splitting the mountain to save his mother, that lad Yang Jiao does have some spirit, but splitting Taoshan is not something he can achieve."

"But once he has this idea, he is definitely part of the game. Being used as someone else’s pawn, Taoshan might indeed be split, and by then even I will be implicated!"
