“Long time no see, Saint Lotesno.”

Mr. Xu Jing had already been waiting outside the Heavenly Master’s Mansion and greeted Lotesno as soon as he saw him, then extended his hand in invitation, “The Ancestor Heavenly Master has already prepared the tea and is awaiting the Saint’s arrival in the hall.”

Following Mr. Xu Jing’s lead, Lotesno headed into the Heavenly Master’s Mansion, speaking as he walked, “Mr. Xu Jing, I have a question, and I’m not sure whether to ask it or not.”

“The Saint may speak freely without worry. If Xu Jing knows, he will certainly not hide it,” Mr. Xu Jing said with a smile, making a promise.

“In that case, I will ask.”

Lotesno nodded and then asked, “What exactly is the Heavenly Master’s Mansion scheming? I can’t quite understand your layout. You’ve invested so much effort on my cheap big brother Link Grande, but it seems that you want nothing in return. You just keep sending him here and there, keeping him endlessly busy and running around, yet without a clear goal for his busyness and travel.”

After hearing Lotesno’s words, Mr. Xu Jing thought for a moment and then countered, “Could it be interpreted that the Saint is genuinely concerned about Wizard Link Grande?”

“It could be interpreted that way.”

Lotesno admitted frankly and then continued to explain, “After all, in terms of blood relation, he is my big brother in this life. Considering the twists and turns that happened during my rebirth, the bond between us is just too deep. As you know, those of us who play with fate or are played by fate, value these things highly. According to your Immortal God Civilisation, it’s called carrying the burden, or according to the Buddhism that has faded in the Long River of Time, it’s karma.”

“Carrying the burden is carrying the burden, karma is karma, the two are not equivalent. Also…”

Mr. Xu Jing’s expression turned serious as he corrected, “Buddhism has not faded into the Long River of Time; it has simply parted with the Immortal God Civilisation and formed its own lineage.”

Pausing, Mr. Xu Jing sighed helplessly, “The concept of the Age of Dharma Decline was actually first proposed by Buddhism.”

“Is that so? This is indeed a secret I haven’t heard before,” Lotesno said with a sigh.

Shaking his head, Mr. Xu Jing replied, “It’s not so much a secret as it is old sesame and rotten grains; what’s past is past, let’s not dwell on it.”

“Very well, just before I meet the Ancestor Heavenly Master, please enlighten me, Mr. Xu Jing.”

Lotesno pivoted back to the topic of Link Grande following Mr. Xu Jing’s lead.

“All right.”

Mr. Xu Jing agreed, then said, “To be honest with the Saint, we truly want nothing from Wizard Link Grande.”

“Want nothing?”

“Want nothing!”

“Really? I don’t believe it!”

“If the Saint does not believe, there’s no need for me to say more. No matter how much I say, if the Saint does not believe, then he does not believe.”

After a few brief exchanges, Lotesno learned of a secret from Mr. Xu Jing, but his question remained unanswered.

They had now arrived at the grand hall where the Ancestor Heavenly Master was.

It seems this is Mr. Xu Jing’s strategy, summed up in one word: delay.

Without digging deeper, Lotesno simply gave Mr. Xu Jing a long, meaningful look and then stepped into the hall.

The grand hall was as serene as it had been the last time he was there.

The only difference was that, aside from the Ancestor Heavenly Master, there was another person present.

Lotesno recognized the person at a glance, and a cold smile couldn’t help but surface on his face.

“Ancestor Heavenly Master, long time no see.”

Shifting his gaze from that person, Lotesno greeted with a smile, then asked, “May I inquire why the Ancestor Heavenly Master has suddenly invited me here? I have just been rushed to the Ravensmouth College Vanguard’s battlefield by my cheap big brother, ready to help the Ravensmouth College Vanguard fend off an attack from Great Sage Mitchell.”

“Please take a seat, Saint,” the Ancestor Heavenly Master said, gesturing to the meditation cushion on his left without directly answering, and spoke amiably, “Let’s talk over a seated conversation.”

As he spoke, the Ancestor Heavenly Master picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.

Lotesno arched an eyebrow, went with the flow, and sat down on the cushion, facing the other person.

Following the etiquette of the Immortal God Civilisation, the honoured seat is on the left when seated.

At the Ancestor Heavenly Master’s place, Lotesno sitting on his left was accorded more honour.

This point was clearly understood by the other person, who showed no signs of resentment.

“Here, try my tea art.”

“`

Ancestor Heavenly Master picked up the tea cup in front of him and nodded to both sides.

Saint Lotesno and another person showed their respects by immediately picking up their tea cups and touching them lightly in the air.

Their manners were sufficiently polite, yet the ritual seemed somewhat awkward and out of place.

It was neither like the ceremony of Immortal God Civilization nor that of Wizard Civilization.

However, these were minor details, and the three present didn’t particularly care.

Each took a shallow sip of tea, placed their cups down, and the official discussion began.

Ancestor Heavenly Master was the first to speak, “The reason we are able to sit together today is simple and straightforward, purely based on interests.”

After glancing to both sides and seeing no objections, Ancestor Heavenly Master continued, “My interest is simple, and that is to ensure that Heavenly Master’s Mansion safely gets through the crisis of the Age of Dharma Decline. What are the interests of the Saint, the Saint himself shall speak. As for Great Sage Mitchell, it is also quite simple, which is to ascend to Saint or, with the help of the Celestial Court, to transform and become a Celestial Master before his life ends.”

“Hmm…”

Lotesno let out an unexpected snicker.

“Why does the Saint laugh?”

Ancestor Heavenly Master stopped speaking and asked with a seemingly surprised tone.

“It’s nothing, just thought of a funny yet inconsequential matter. Please continue, Ancestor Heavenly Master.”

Lotesno put away his smile and offhandedly made an excuse.

Ancestor Heavenly Master laughed and didn’t mind Lotesno’s mood, turning to look at the other guest, Great Sage Mitchell, “Today, it is Great Sage Mitchell who sought me out, expressing a desire to have a candid talk with Saint Lotesno. It was only then that I urgently contacted Saint Lotesno. Now that you both are here, whatever it is, communicate amongst yourselves.”

As his voice fell, Ancestor Heavenly Master’s figure disappeared from the grand hall.

However, both Lotesno and Great Sage Mitchell knew that if Ancestor Heavenly Master wanted, he could hear every conversation that took place in the hall.

The Heavenly Master’s Mansion was Ancestor Heavenly Master’s home turf.

Looking at Great Sage Mitchell’s pale hair and aged face, Lotesno genuinely wanted to laugh.

However, out of respect for the position of a Level Nine Great Sage, Lotesno held back his smirk.

As for treating each other with courtesy…

Sorry, Lotesno couldn’t do it.

It was well known that the most significant disruptor of his reincarnation strategy wasn’t Link Grande, but rather the very Great Sage Mitchell before him.

Even more so, this Great Sage Mitchell wanted to steal the position of Prophet Sage Wizard.

Lotesno might not laugh, but that doesn’t mean he was willing to initiate conversation.

The grand hall fell silent after Ancestor Heavenly Master left.

Eventually, it was Great Sage Mitchell who broke the silence with a hoarse voice:

“Saint Lotesno, past events have already passed.

I didn’t manage to seize the position of Prophet Sage Wizard, and as a consequence, I lost all that I worked for in life.

Now, I accept aid from the Immortal God Civilization Celestial Court, with no other reason than to survive.

Today, I request Ancestor Heavenly Master to mediate and to ask Saint Lotesno if you could stop constantly planning to kill me and allow me a peaceful environment to advance, can you?”

My vulnerable points are voluntarily exposed to the Saint, I beg for your forgiveness.”

During the Starship’s journey of almost two months, Lotesno, extremely bored and unable to stand the insult of Link’s gaze, frequently harbored a desire to kill Great Sage Mitchell.

The killing intent of a Saint Position could traverse the Endless Void and descend upon Great Sage Mitchell.

Of course, it wasn’t as terrifying as a sword hanging overhead, ready to fall at any moment, but akin to a thorn in the back nonetheless.

Once Great Sage Mitchell identified Lotesno as the source of the killing intent, he first contacted the Supreme Council, hoping for their mediation.

The Supreme Council agreed and put it into practice, but failed.

Lotesno refused any communication with the Supreme Council.

Out of desperation, Great Sage Mitchell had no choice but to expose himself and ask the Heavenly Master’s Mansion to mediate and settle the matter.

Therefore, Great Sage Mitchell was unaware that, prior to this, Lotesno already knew of his defection to the Immortal God Civilization Celestial Court.

Ignorance is bliss, indeed.
