Xu Fang smiled faintly, looking at the Daoist Zhunti.
"I heard you were going to make a move on this Golden Immortal girl? Coincidentally, she's with me."
Daoist Zhunti looked at that familiar, nightmare-like smile. The pain he suffered that day from the Three Lights Divine Water resurfaced, making him tremble and feel a chill down his spine.
Where did this damned fellow come from?
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin exchanged glances, and Daoist Jieyin shook his head.
Setting aside whether they could win a fight, they were currently in Zixiao Palace. They were already late, and if they were to make a move, it might displease Patriarch Hongjun, leading to their expulsion.
His mind raced, and Daoist Zhunti quickly realized this was not the time for action. He let out a dry laugh.
"Heh heh! Long time no see, fellow Daoist! What are you talking about?"
"My earlier scolding was merely to test the girl's courage. Now it seems she is indeed calm in the face of chaos. A talent worth cultivating!"
Wasn't she calm in the face of chaos? Even after being reprimanded by Daoist Zhunti, Ao Xue didn't even spare him a glance.
With the great bird, the senior great bird, the elder brother great bird, the senior great bird's good Daoist friend, and the senior great bird's good Daoist friend's good female Daoist friend here, she had no reason to worry about anyone taking her place.
"Heh heh!"
Hearing Daoist Zhunti's words, Xu Fang chuckled.
"Since it's nothing, then get lost and don't block my view."
Xu Fang had no intention of fighting Daoist Zhunti, and certainly no intention of being polite. He directly rebuked him.
"You..."
Daoist Zhunti was enraged. Was this fellow ungrateful? How dare he disrespect him so much?
He immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight with all his might. However, Kong Xuan, Dong Wang Gong, and others all turned their gazes over, seemingly not minding a good spar with this individual.
Seeing this, Daoist Jieyin quickly pulled Daoist Zhunti back.
"Fellow Daoists, please do not be impulsive. My junior brother rushed here in haste and has not yet recovered."
"Heh heh! Rushed too quickly and his brain couldn't keep up, is that it? Then hurry up and leave!"
Dong Wang Gong spoke with an unfriendly tone, retorting.
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin glanced at him, left resentfully, and retreated to the side.
However, these two were clearly not going to give up. They swept their gazes across the entire Zixiao Palace, searching for something.
All the living beings felt unlucky and averted their gazes, refusing to look at them.
After scanning the crowd, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin nodded at each other and immediately began to cry out loudly.
"Senior Brother Jieyin, we are truly suffering! We traveled tirelessly and still couldn't make it to the Zixiao Palace lecture, only to watch others seize opportunities with longing!"
Daoist Zhunti spoke first, his voice filled with tears.
"Indeed! Junior Brother Zhunti, we are determined to restore the West, but we are still a step too late and have missed such an opportunity!"
Daoist Jieyin followed suit, lamenting along with Daoist Zhunti.
Since they couldn't fight in Zixiao Palace, they would find another way. They refused to believe that in this vast Zixiao Palace, there wouldn't be a few immortals with overflowing sympathy!
However, the beings in Zixiao Palace were not fools. They had just witnessed Daoist Zhunti bullying the weak. How could they believe their act?
This crying and lamenting was merely an attempt to get everyone to give up their seats.
They had obtained their opportunities through their own strength; why would they give them up?
Therefore, everyone let Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin cry to the heavens and earth, remaining seated and unmoved.
In fact, many beings now wore expressions of mockery, looking down on these two.
Dong Wang Gong scoffed and said to Xu Fang.
"If these two could really get seats by doing this, I'd challenge the Wu and Yao clans for you tomorrow."
Unintentional words, but meaningful to the listener. Xu Fang was startled by Dong Wang Gong's remark.
Good heavens, did he think he didn't have enough buffs on him already and needed to double down?
He wondered if Dong Wang Gong would remember his words today when he truly faced the Wu and Yao clans.
Seeing that the beings were indifferent, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin understood that their earlier impulsiveness had left a bad impression, so they changed their tune.
"Alas, the West is poor. We brothers have always harbored the great ambition to restore the West and save countless sentient beings."
"Indeed. That is why our actions might seem excessive to others. But how could they understand our intentions!"
"Alas, Senior Brother, let's stop talking. We should just go back and work hard in silence!"
"Precisely. Perhaps there is always a way out. We don't need to disgrace ourselves here!"
Speaking of which, these two from the West truly possessed considerable acting talent. After saying this, coupled with their sorrowful and despairing expressions, they had already touched many beings.
Looking at the sincere expressions of Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin, everyone couldn't help but ponder.
Could it be that they had truly misunderstood these two?
Judging by their lamentations, burdened with the heavy responsibility of reviving the West and saving sentient beings, they were already exhausted.
To travel a thousand miles to Zixiao Palace and still not get a seat – what a tragedy!
Even Xu Fang, seeing the way the two from the West were acting, felt a flicker of doubt, wondering if he had misunderstood them.
However, Xu Fang was Xu Fang. He wouldn't truly start doubting himself.
Not to mention that he knew the plot of Hong Huang. At this moment, the magical treasures on Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin were not being fooled and had already betrayed them.
"Act, keep acting. If you don't have seats, then fight! I, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, don't know these crying blubbering fellows!"
"I, Jieyin's Three Treasures, also declare that these antics have nothing to do with us magical treasures. Please, distinguished audience, discern carefully!"
Hearing this, Xu Fang chuckled. Indeed, it was now the performance time for Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin!
With their magical treasures speaking up, it quickly drew the support of a crowd of other magical treasures.
"Heh heh! My ruler brother has long said that these fellows from the West are disgusting. It seems he was right!"
"The Earth Book states this is its first time witnessing such a scene. What should it prepare to watch the show?"
"Thanks for the invite, but I'm in Zixiao Palace, just took my seat. Are these two clowns released by that kid Haotian?"
The treasures in Zixiao Palace all spoke up, expressing their strong disdain for Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin.
However, even though the magical treasures had seen through Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin's intentions, their owners were not so enlightened.
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin continued their weeping, making those who heard it sad and those who listened to it weep. Many beings were already getting up, preparing to make way for these two.
However, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin, while weeping, continued to walk forward, their eyes fixed on the six seats ahead.
They naturally understood that every seat in Zixiao Palace was an opportunity, and the greatest opportunity was the six futons at the front.
Since they had thrown all shame aside and cried a sob story, they were naturally going to go all the way and aim for the front seats!
Who said opportunities were hard to come by? It was just that they were too unwilling to be shameless!
