As soon as Lin Bai came back, Mr. Wen was invited over by Elder He Gongji. Apparently he had something to discuss.
After hearing the question, Mr. Wen chuckled and said: "Earlier, the Emperor's son had a fierce fight with the First Son of God outside Yongye Pass. Elder He Gongji intervened to stop him. His original intention was to resolve the grudges between the Emperor's Son and the First Son of God.
But I didn’t expect that the First Son of God would not appreciate it and allowed his subordinates to clamor for the emperor’s son.”
"Elder He Gongji was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious and think that he and the First Son of God were in the same group, so after he came back, he immediately asked the old slave to explain the situation."
"And he also told me that when the Emperor's son and the First God's Son were fighting each other, he was the one who secretly transmitted the message, forcing the First God's Son to bow his head and admit his mistake."
"He sent a message to inform the First God Son... If something goes wrong with the Emperor's Son, not only will the Palace Master not be able to spare him, but he will not easily spare the First God Son."
Lin Bai was still a little strange in his heart, why did the First Son of God suddenly bow his head and give in just now and not continue to entangle with Lin Bai.
It turned out that it was He Gongji who secretly transmitted the message and forced the First Son of God to bow his head and admit defeat.
The content of He Gongji's message was also very interesting. He first mentioned that Lin Bai was the master of the Demon Palace, and also said that if something happened to Lin Bai, he would not spare the First Son of God.
After hearing these words, the First Son of God began to murmur in his heart. Although he had a backer behind him, he could not withstand the joint pressure from Elder He Gongji and the Lord of the Demon Palace.
Therefore, the First Son of God chose to bow his head as a last resort.
The First Son of God obviously did not understand the deeper meaning of He Gongji's words. Instead, Lin Bai understood the deeper meaning of He Gongji.
"This old guy is really thoughtful!"
Lin Bai recalled Elder He Gongji's message and found it quite interesting.
There are two important points in He Gongji's words. He first mentioned the Palace Master of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and finally mentioned him.
What does this mean?
The Lord of the Nine Nether Demon Palace represents the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
The profound meaning of He Gongji's words is... I am only loyal to Jiuyou Demon Palace, and I will support whoever is the master of the palace.
It is no surprise that as the emperor's son of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Lin Bai will be the next master of the Demon Palace.
He Gongji was reminding the First Son of God... not to cause too much trouble. If you want to be Lin Bai's enemy, you must first seize the throne of the Emperor's Son.
After all, there are not a few elders in the Nine Nether Demon Palace who have the same idea as He Gongji.
For warriors who have reached their level of cultivation, most of their relatives have passed away, and they often practice in seclusion. They have long since given up on worldly thoughts and have become unsympathetic and unrighteous.
They tend to choose the side that has the best interests for themselves.
They are not like Lin Bai and the First Son of God. Although their cultivation strength is not low, they are still very young and they still have long lifespans.
And they are very young, which means that their relatives, parents, uncles, younger siblings, and even direct children are still alive.
But as their cultivation strength increases and their longevity gradually increases, they will watch helplessly as their relatives around them die one after another.
Parents, uncles.
Brothers, sisters, children.
Until the end, although his bloodline did not exist in the world, he was already separated by several generations.
The kind of family affection that flows in the bones can only remain on the surface.
For example, He Gongji is now over 10,000 years old, but his parents died thousands of years ago.
He also had several children, but none of them had extraordinary talents, and the one with the highest level of cultivation was only at the Taiyi Daoguo realm, and he passed away two thousand years ago.
Several other children either died in fights with others outside, or died early due to lack of talent.
Today, although He Gongji still has bloodline left in the world, for him, his "real relatives" are no longer there.
He was already alone!
He Gongji was scheming because he valued Lin Bai's future potential and his current status in the Demon Palace. He knew that even if he could not form a deep relationship with Lin Bai in order to plot Lin Bai's reward for him in the future,
You can't offend him either, lest he retaliate later.
It is precisely with this kind of exquisite thinking that He Gongji can step by step reach his current position, becoming the eternal elder of the Elder Council of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and serving as the master of one of the nine major temples.
After Mr. Wen laughed and said that He Gongji came to him, he actually wanted to test Lin Bai's tone and see if Lin Bai was really blaming He Gongji.
His words were obviously not finished yet, he was just waiting for Lin Bai's answer.
If Lin Bai replied that he did not blame He Gongji, then Mr. Wen would go along with the situation, be a favor and say a few nice words to Mr. Wen.
If Lin Bai replied that he already had a grudge against He Gongji, then Boss Wen would most likely turn against him and belittle He Gongji in front of Lin Bai.
Both are warriors in the Supreme Daoguo realm, and they are both old monsters who have lived for thousands of years. Old Wen's thinking and tricks are not much worse than He Gongji's.
It's just that He Gongji is very happy to show off his talents.
But Mr. Wen kept a low profile and kept a low profile.
"Let him mind his own business." Lin Bai snorted coldly: "If he hadn't intervened, the First Son of God would be dead by now."
Although Lin Bai wanted to blame He Gongji, Mr. Wen could also tell that Lin Bai did not bear any grudge against He Gongji.
He then said with a smile: "Son of the Emperor, Elder He Gongji is, after all, the eternal elder of the Demon Palace's Council of Elders. As an elder, it is naturally impossible for him to watch the First Son of God die in front of him."
"If he really lets it go, I'm afraid he, the eternal elder, will be done with it."
Elder Wen said a few good words to Elder He Gongji, making it clear that he did not want to go against the emperor, but because of his status, he had to intervene in the matter.
"Forget it." Lin Bai waved his hand, not intending to ask any more questions.
Just in time.
The goddess Li Guxian of the Ninth Temple shouted outside the door: "Brother Emperor, Li Guxian is here to visit."
Lin Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I have seen her since I came to Yongyuguan half a year ago. This goddess is really like a dragon that sees the beginning but never the end."
"I really want to know what she has done in the past six months?"
"Let her in."
Mr. Wen nodded, went to open the door, and invited Li Guxian to come in.
After Li Guxian walked in, she first looked around and didn't see Daozi Yu You, so she smiled and said, "What? Are you tired of Senior Brother Dizi playing with Senior Sister Yu You? Don't you want her anymore?"
"I just saw Senior Sister Yu You walking out with a frustrated face."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Bai scolded with a serious look on his face.
Li Guxian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Finally, he has the dignity that an emperor should have."
Lin Bai was not interested in continuing to joke with Li Guxian: "You, the busiest person in the Nine Nether Demon Palace, how come you have time to see me today?"
Li Guxian smiled coyly: "My little sister naturally comes to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came here today to ask for something!"
