Chapter 221 Revealing the truth
"See that? That fairy invited me, Old Pig, to the Cloud Hidden Inn for a chat. You've never seen this 'Emperor's Title' jade token before, have you?"
Zhu Ganglie shook the jade token in his hand and said with great enthusiasm.
"Gang Lie! There are some things you can't control. Don't blame your elder brother for not warning you!"
Kongming stared at Zhu Bajie with a half-smile.
With his cultivation level, he had overheard every word of this guy's conversation with Liu Mengli, so how could he not understand Zhu Ganglie's little scheme?
"Hmph, how could I, Old Pig, not be able to handle it? You're just jealous, you're just jealous..." Pigsy muttered in dissatisfaction, almost jumping up and down.
"Very well! Zilong, let's go! Let this dead pig keep dreaming!" Kongming said, and then made a move to turn around and leave.
Upon seeing this, Pigsy panicked. His pig eyes darted around, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Kongming's sleeve, forcing a smile as he said, "We're sworn brothers, so naturally we should share the good times. How about this, I'll take you two with me, is that alright?"
"Not interested in!"
Kongming remained expressionless, shoving Zhu Bajie aside and showing no sign of being moved by his words.
Zhao Yun looked embarrassed, glanced at Zhu Bajie, then at Kongming, and stepped forward, saying, "Bajie, actually, when the Prime Minister and I visited the Holy City last time, we obtained this 'Heavenly Character' jade tablet, and the Prime Minister even spent several days alone with this young lady!"
Upon hearing this, Pigsy bristled instantly, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You wicked fiend! How dare you blaspheme the fairy! You...you..."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight Kongming to the death.
Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Zhu Ganglie, "Ganglie, the Prime Minister is not the kind of person you think he is. If it weren't for the strong attitude of the female cultivator from the Sima family of Shengzhou, how could the Prime Minister have..."
Cough cough cough...
Upon hearing this, Kongming's face immediately turned bright red, and he hurriedly coughed loudly, abruptly interrupting Zhao Yun's words.
This is just making things worse and more outrageous!
Zhao Yun realized his slip of the tongue and gave an awkward smile. Zhu Ganglie wasn't stupid either; upon hearing "female cultivator from the Sima family," his heart skipped a beat, and he became somewhat uneasy.
"Big brother, you...you actually dared to mess with a female cultivator from an ancient family, you've got some nerve!"
Zhu Ganglie's eyes widened like copper bells, his face filled with shock and lingering fear.
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he exclaimed, "Oh! No wonder the Sima family was so determined to kill you, so that's how it is..."
"You idiot, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll smash your mouth in!"
Kongming glared at Zhu Bajie and said with a headache.
"You're getting angry now, aren't you..." Zhu Ganglie shrank his neck and muttered quietly.
Kongming took a deep breath, suppressing his embarrassment, and waved his hand helplessly, saying, "Forget it, there's no point in explaining to a fool like you. From now on, I'm no longer your older brother. Go do your thing!"
"Hehe...hehe...I was just joking, you...look, you actually took it seriously!"
Zhu Ganglie rubbed against Kongming, his pig eyes darting around, trying to calm Kongming down with this gesture.
The 'Heavenly Grade' jade token in his hand suddenly lost its appeal. After all, Liu Mengli didn't seem like a good person. What if she invited the female cultivators from the Sima family to join her in this mess? That would be disastrous...
