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

Hongyun desperately wanted to tell Tongtian that the entire Wanshou Mountain was within Zhenyuanzi's Earth Book barrier, but anyone could come and go as they pleased. Zhenyuanzi probably already knew what he was about to say.

But Hongyun was afraid that Zhen Yuanzi would hear her, so she had to explain first: "He trapped me in Wuzhuang Temple for my own good. And I promised him I wouldn't leave until the battle was over, so I really can't run away if he doesn't agree."

Tongtian looked at him with exasperation: "Why did you agree to him? You're so eager to go out and have fun, why did you agree to something that goes against your own will? If he was doing it for your own good, why did he ignore your boredom and keep you locked up in Wuzhuang Temple?"

Hongyun thought about it carefully and reconsidered every word Tongtian said. To her surprise, she found that she couldn't refute it.

Finally, I could only ask in return: "Your brother has also trapped you in the Kunlun Mountains. Do you resent them and think about escaping?"

"I won't hold grudges, but I'll run away!" Tongtian said seriously, clearly not joking.

Hongyun was speechless. How was she supposed to explain this to him? If she directly said she enjoyed this kind of control, he would probably think she was crazy! If Zhen Yuanzi heard this, he would probably be even stricter!

In the end, he could only stubbornly say, "The main thing is that I promised Zhen Yuanzi, so I can't run away secretly, otherwise I would be breaking my promise."

Tongtian was still somewhat skeptical: "He really didn't force you? Don't worry, although this is his territory, the three of us are evenly matched, and together we definitely won't let him gain the upper hand."

Hongyun really wanted to say that even though Zhen Yuanzi took a long time to comprehend the Dao these two times, he wouldn't be afraid of fighting alone if they really broke out.

But Hongyun was guilty; if he spoke ill of Zhenyuanzi behind his back on Wanshou Mountain, he would be easily caught.

"He really didn't force me!" Hongyun stared into Tongtian's eyes and said solemnly, which finally convinced Tongtian of the truth of her words.

"He didn't force you, so why aren't you leaving?" Tongtian's words returned.

Hongyun sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Because I promised him I wouldn't leave. So unless he agrees, I can't run away."

Tongtian's question was reasonable, yet it also seemed idiotic: "Since you already agreed to his request, why did he still set up a barrier to prevent you from leaving?"

Zhen Yuanzi could indeed hear the two talking, but eavesdropping in secret was impolite, so he did not do it.

Worried that Hongyun might leave or encounter danger, and genuinely curious about what Tongtian and Hongyun would do, they chased after them a while after they left, but they did so openly and even deliberately made a commotion.

However, Tongtian and Hongyun were both oblivious and didn't notice anything, which resulted in Zhenyuanzi overhearing this sentence.

When Hongyun was utterly helpless, Zhen Yuanzi burst out laughing. He finally made Hongyun experience what he usually felt, though it wasn't quite the same, but it was still very satisfying.

Zhen Yuanzi: "Because Hongyun is similar to Fellow Daoist Tongtian in temperament, I am worried that he might secretly run down the mountain while I am in seclusion."

Hongyun and Tongtian both felt guilty when they saw Zhen Yuanzi. After all, being caught talking about someone behind their back was an embarrassing situation.

Tongtian, in particular, was petty and thought he was being unfair to Zhen Yuanzi, and felt very apologetic towards him.

Ignoring the fact that Zhen Yuanzi's words were implying something, he immediately cupped his hands in apology: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi."

Tongtian was a straightforward and easygoing person, and Zhen Yuanzi was not one to hold grudges. He waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian meant well, and I will not mind at all."
