The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

"He said he was walking on thin ice for various reasons. But who isn’t walking on thin ice, with their own reasons?" Pang Hong sneered, dismissing the excuse entirely.

This was the first time Pang Hong had displayed such an attitude in front of his own master, the words and expression filled with disdain for Zhu Houji.

Given Pang Hong’s reverence for Pei Xuanjing, any arrangements made by Pei Xuanjing would never have been met with resistance, only compliance.

As Pang Hong had said to the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, the ancestral master’s words were the rule; once mentioned, they were to be carried out, even if not understood, they had to be learned and followed without any dissent.

But his attitude today was noticeably off, and even if there were things he deemed inappropriate, he usually would have advised more tactfully, not so bluntly.

However, one could also see how repulsed Pang Hong was by Zhu Houji’s actions this time, to the point where he was unwilling to heed Pei Xuanjing’s counsel and desist.

"Master, the actions taken this time were not driven by me. Instead, I merely let go, and then the elders and disciples spontaneously took action," Pang Hong explained with a bitter expression to Pei Xuanjing.

He had come to consult his master on where to pursue his next opportunities, but unexpectedly, before he could speak, his master brought up the recent friction between the underlings of Shenxiao and the Jade Emperor.

And his master seemed to think that Pang Hong was behind it all, thus speaking to suggest that he mediate.

However, the truth was not so, indeed, Pang Hong detested the Jade Emperor’s actions, but the current Pang Hong was entirely focused on how to achieve Tao Certifying, with no interest in contending over such matters.
