Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 416

"How could this guide have run away!" Hongyun said regretfully.

Tongtian still looked at Hongyun with resentment, making Hongyun feel uneasy. She asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking like that?"

"You stole eighteen of the Innate Treasures from Jieyin!" Tongtian's eyes burned with rage.

Hongyun pursed her lips. Tongtian was clearly unhappy. If he were given a few pieces, he would be happier.

This is a priceless treasure, one I earned through my own skill. It hurts to just give it away like this.

But then he thought, if the person he was fighting with was Tongtian, even if he couldn't steal all eighteen items, he would definitely get some.

Following the absurd rule of sharing everything upon meeting, Hongyun, after some thought, put her right hand into her left sleeve and pulled out... a magical artifact, which she reluctantly handed over.

Tongtian looked at Hongyun, who had a pained expression, and then at the magic weapon in Hongyun's hand, and angrily put his hands on his hips.

"How about we have a match?"

Hongyun lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "You want me to take you away too!"

"Even if you fought for it yourself, you might not be able to steal nine pieces!"

"You're so greedy! I worked so hard to steal this, and you want half of it?"

Seeing that Tongtian was truly angry, Hongyun quickly chased after him, saying, "It was just a joke, just a joke!"

"Eighteen pieces, give me half!" Tongtian said coldly, unable to break free from Hongyun's grip.

"A maximum of three items, no more!"

Tong Tian flung his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Half?" Hongyun's eyes widened in shock at Tongtian's exploitation.

Tongtian remained silent, his head bowed.

Hongyun reluctantly conceded again, gritting her teeth as she said, "Five items!"

"Deal!" Tongtian looked up instantly, his eyes full of cunning, as if he had succeeded.

Hongyun glared at him angrily, then took out five magical treasures and stuffed them into Tongtian's arms.

"My magic weapon..." Hongyun pouted with heartache as she watched Tongtian put away his magic weapon.

Tongtian accepted the magic treasure and was happy. He comforted Hongyun, saying, "You only have a few disciples, and Zhen Yuanzi is skilled in crafting magic weapons. You don't lack magic treasures. These innate treasures are enough for you and Zhen Yuanzi's disciples, one for each of you."

"Unlike my Jie Sect, which has so many disciples, none of whom come from high social standing and have no family support, so I, their teacher, have to assign them all."

Hongyun felt like she had been turned into a Versailles.

The two returned to Wuzhuang Temple together and happened to see Peng Demon King at the entrance, asking Ao Bing all sorts of questions.

Ao Bing immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Master. Greetings, Master Tongtian."

"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Tongtian Sect Leader." Upon seeing Hongyun return, Peng Demon King immediately knelt on the ground and, like Ao Bing, ordered everyone to pay their respects.

"You've taken on another disciple?" Tongtian glanced at the Peng Demon King kneeling on the ground. He didn't like the furry creature.

"This is Kunpeng's son. He just sent a message asking me to take him as my disciple and serve him on my behalf," Hongyun explained calmly.

Peng Demon King then remembered that he hadn't yet formally become a disciple: "Please, Sage, accept me as your apprentice..."

"Come in with me!" Hongyun stepped past Peng Demon King and entered Wuzhuang Temple.

"Come to the main hall!" Hongyun's light and casual words reached the ears of every disciple of Wuzhuang Temple.

A moment later, more than a dozen disciples knelt before Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi.

Apart from Kong Xuan, everyone else had arrived.

Led by Huiyu, Jin Chanzi, Liu Er, Yuan Hong, Wuzhiqi, and others appeared behind him.

Hongyun took out those magical treasures, which floated in front of everyone.
