Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Rebuking Green Emperor Xiahou (1)_1

Tian Bo entered from outside and sighed upon seeing the state of Green Emperor Xiahou. Ever since his master, Lady Xiahou, demanded that he sever his mentor-disciple relationship with Dugu Qianye and forbade him from taking a single step out of the Heavenly Spiritual Realm, he had been this way.

Approaching Green Emperor Xiahou, Tian Bo said, "Young master, we have been in Camel City for three days now, when shall we deliver the gift? By rights, we should have sent it on the second day after our arrival."

Green Emperor Xiahou turned around, looked at Tian Bo, and took out a jade bottle from his ring, saying, "You go and deliver the gift. Just say I am feeling unwell and it’s inconvenient for me to go out."

Having said this, he turned back and remained silent as he gazed outside.

Tian Bo’s sigh was heavy as he turned and left. Although he felt that accepting Dugu Qianye as a master was rash of the young master, the actions of Lady Xiahou were indeed a bit excessive. He could tell the young master truly liked Dugu Qianye, and Dugu Qianye’s alchemy skills were truly formidable, only their status was mismatched. Forcing the young master to sever ties with Dugu Qianye was indeed...

"Tian Bo." Just as Tian Bo was about to leave, Green Emperor Xiahou turned and called him back, saying, "Never mind, I’ll go with you."

"Alright, alright!" Seeing that Green Emperor Xiahou was willing to go out, Tian Bo happily agreed, walked back, and returned the jade bottle to Green Emperor Xiahou.

Green Emperor Xiahou held the jade bottle, his eyes flickering as he looked at the Shennong Cauldron pattern on it.

"By the way, young master," said Tian Bo, mentioning the news he had received, "the young Sect Master from the Refiners Sect also arrived in Camel City yesterday. They are probably going to present their gift today. Shall we avoid them?"

"No need. We’ll go in the afternoon. If we happen to meet them, it will be a good opportunity to see this person who has been my equal for decades."

"Yes, young master."

Gong Tuozi, the City Lord of Camel City, was naturally hunchbacked, and his cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, but since he was a relative of Gong Shi, a close confidant of Yong Xing, he managed to be appointed as City Lord and even renamed the city after himself. For his thousandth birthday this year, many people sent gifts out of respect for Gong Shi. These past two days, he couldn’t stop smiling crookedly as he counted all the congratulatory gifts he had received in his room!

That afternoon, Gong Tuozi was reviewing the list of gifts from the day before, nodding with satisfaction from time to time. Suddenly, the butler rushed in, exclaiming, "My Lord! My Lord!"

Gong Tuozi’s moment of pleasure was interrupted. Opening the door, he shouted at the butler, "Why aren’t you managing things outside properly? Why are you running in here? Have you got everything ready for the banquet the day after tomorrow? Go on, go on, don’t disturb me while I’m counting my gifts."

Having said that, Gong Tuozi was about to close the door and go back inside, but the butler grabbed his clothes. "My Lord, the young Sect Masters of the Artifact Refiners and the Alchemists have come to present their gifts!"

"Just accept the gift if they are giving one. What? Both the young Sect Masters from the Refiners Sect and the Alchemist Sect have come?" Gong Tuozi said indifferently. There were so many people giving gifts; why was the butler making such a fuss? Suddenly realizing who had come, he quickly confirmed.

Wiping sweat from his brow, the butler replied, "Yes, both young Sect Masters are here. They are sitting in the main hall!" The butler added, "You should quickly go and see to them, my Lord."

Gong Tuozi suddenly burst into laughter, "I never imagined that I, Gong Tuozi, would carry such weight! Hahaha, I only invited them as a formality, and yet they actually all showed up! Hahaha!"

The butler tugged at Gong Tuozi, saying, "My Lord, please stop laughing and hurry to the main hall to greet them. Otherwise, if they feel slighted and mention it to the two Sect Masters, we’ll be in big trouble!"

"Hahaha, let’s go, let’s go, the first meeting of the two great talents of the Heavenly Spiritual Realm, how can I not join in on the fun!" Gong Tuozi laughed heartily as he made his way to the hall.

Inside the hall, Green Emperor Xiahou and Jian Yuezhi sat opposite each other. Tian Bo stood behind Green Emperor Xiahou, and Dugu Qianye sat beside Jian Yuezhi, frowning slightly at the sight of Green Emperor Xiahou, who had become skinny as a skeleton.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jian Yuezhi and Green Emperor Xiahou fell into a quiet tea-drinking session.

Perhaps out of boredom, Jian Yuezhi looked around, then gestured for Dugu Qianye to lean in closer and whispered in her ear, "Green Emperor Xiahou looks like a bamboo pole, not as good-looking as me, right?"

Dugu Qianye nodded as she looked at Green Emperor Xiahou, stoic as a gourd while drinking tea. Indeed, he did not have the same vitality or looks as before!

Although Jian Yuezhi spoke softly, everyone present was an expert; no matter how quiet his voice, they could all hear him.

Tian Bo, hearing Jian Yuezhi speak like this, got frustrated and said, "Young Sect Master Jian, please watch your words!"

Jian Yuezhi, unfazed by Tian Bo’s stern face, replied cheerfully, "But I’m telling the truth, aren’t I? He does look unattractive like a bamboo pole! Plus, he’s cold as ice, like a huge ice block, freezing me to death. Isn’t that right, little sister?"

Before entering Camel City, Jian Yuezhi had claimed Dugu Qianye as his sister to legitimately attend the birthday banquet.

"Little sister?" Green Emperor Xiahou, still holding his teacup, looked at both Jian Yuezhi and Dugu Qianye and said, "I heard that the Refiners Sect Master only has one son. When exactly did he get a daughter? Is there something we do not know?"

Even someone as slow as Jian Yuezhi understood Green Emperor Xiahou’s insinuation. He said, "She is a sister from heaven, a blessing bestowed upon me by the heavens! What are you imagining?"

"A sister from heaven?" Green Emperor Xiahou and Tian Bo both turned their gaze to Dugu Qianye.

"Yes!" Remembering the moment he met Dugu Qianye, Jian Yuezhi felt a sense of fate between them, and with a chuckle, he said, "I came to Camel City riding our family’s Xiaobei pigeon. She fell from the sky and was caught by Xiaobei, crushing me beneath her. It hurt for a long time! Such a wide space and she landed right on me; isn’t that what you’d call a sister from heaven?"

Green Emperor Xiahou looked at the simplicity in Jian Yuezhi’s eyes, listening to his cheerful words, and the displeasure he felt earlier about being compared to a bamboo pole dissipated.

"So, she truly is a sister from heaven. Does she share your surname then?" Tian Bo asked in a mocking tone.

"Tian Bo!" Green Emperor Xiahou chided him sharply.

Jian Yuezhi rolled his eyes at Tian Bo and said, "Didn’t I just tell you my sister is from heaven? Only our family has the Jian surname, so how could it be the same? My sister’s name is Dugu Qianye. Doesn’t that sound nice?"

Tian Bo’s eyes bulged in shock, and the teacup in Green Emperor Xiahou’s hand crashed to the floor. The lid rolled a few times, coming to a stop right at Dugu Qianye’s feet.

Jian Yuezhi’s gaze followed the rolling lid, and only when it stopped did he look up at Green Emperor Xiahou’s reaction and asked, "Why are you looking at my sister like you want to eat her up? Did you two know each other before?"
