Chapter 645: Chapter 656: The Confused Heavenly Master

"Uh..." Yue Rujing chuckled dryly, "Our master is just getting old and confused, perhaps he’ll forget after a good sleep. When you go in there, just go with whatever he says to scold me, I don’t mind. At worst, it just ruins my image."

"Huh? Do you even have an image left to ruin?"

Yue Rujing: "..." His elder brother’s ability to insult him was indeed getting stronger.

Yue Rujing stood guard outside the door while Jin Zijin knelt before Tian Jizi, receiving a lecture.

"Tell me, how many bad things have you done since you were little? On your first day on Qi Mountain, you peed behind the Statues of the Three Pure Ones. Don’t think I didn’t know about it."

Jin Zijin frowned, unaware of this incident.

Outside the door, Yue Rujing clutched his head in agony, wishing he could rush in and shut Tian Jizi’s mouth.

"In the year you turned ten, you coaxed your elder brother to steal chickens from a widow in the farms at the foot of the mountain. You were caught red-handed, making your elder brother take the blame for you."

Jin Zijin nodded. That did happen.

"Ten years ago, you dragged him to Beijing, resulting in him being poisoned with flames."

Jin Zijin was startled; actually, that wasn’t entirely Yue Rujing’s fault, as he had wanted to go himself.

"Two years ago, you visited Qingshui Town to find him without permission, revealing his whereabouts..."

Yue Rujing stood still like a statue!

Jin Zijin continued to nod and admit his faults.

Tian Jizi sighed and said, "It’s rare to see you admit your faults so readily today, so I won’t mention your past deeds. But tell me, what is this about you influencing him not to be the State Preceptor anymore?"

This time Yue Rujing was truly taking the blame for his elder brother; he shivered and pressed his ear against the door to listen intently.

"This time... There are complications I cannot speak of." Jin Zijin hadn’t expected his master to suddenly arrive, nor had he anticipated that his forgetful master could still ask such sharp questions, leaving him at a loss for how to explain.

"What complications?"

Jin Zijin replied, "Just that it won’t ruin the great plan. There have been some changes, and I cannot tell Master for now."

Tian Jizi narrowed his eyes at him and said bluntly, "Did you listen to the Xiao Family’s advice?"

Jin Zijin froze there, did his question reveal that he recognized him again?

"Master, who am I?" he pointed to his own nose.

"Are you out of your mind, not even knowing who you are?" Tian Jizi tapped his head with a scroll and scolded, "Are you trying to fool me like Yue Rujing did?"

Jin Zijin felt as if the world had turned chaotic.

"Did you listen to the Xiao Family or not?" Tian Jizi asked angrily.

"No... It’s not that." He found that talking to his mentally confused master was even more exhausting than before.

"Have you seen your father?"

"No!" replied Jin Zijin indifferently, "They are preparing the medicinal puppet, and it’s ready. If the legend is true, then Yu Jizi might... not step down. We can’t wait!"

Tian Jizi snorted coldly, clearly displeased, "So what if they are ready? That’s just a pipe dream; it cannot succeed."

"Why is Master so sure it won’t succeed? Those records..."

"Defying heaven to change fate, does he think he can truly become immortal? Hmph, let me tell you, becoming immortal is not what it’s about. Even if it does succeed, it will likely turn him into something neither human nor ghost!"

Jin Zijin furrowed his brows and asked, "If it’s not becoming immortal, then what is it?"

"It’s..." Tian Jizi suddenly seemed confused, as if unable to recall something, "What was it again? I need to go back and check a few books."

With the master in a muddled state, Jin Zijin exhaled deeply, deciding not to press him further.
