Tian Budai’s Suspicion

Greater Heaven Caster Lu wanted to fly off the handle the moment he saw Celestial Star Sect’s group waiting for them.

“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, what is the situation?” TIan Budai asked, unfazed at the sight of Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s anger.

Greater Heaven Caster Lu shifted his glare to Zhou Jinglin, who showed no pangs of guilt for his actions or discontent with the borderline set up, though he actually was livid. To call Zhou Jinglin shameless would’ve been an insult to the adjective. Greater Heaven Caster Lu couldn’t contain his anger, so he voiced, “You run faster than bandits, Zhou Jinglin.”

“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, you sure have the luck of the devil.”

“I will make sure you have your just desserts for trying to kill me in there. Young Master Tian Budai, if you wish to have someone defuse a formation in the future, please inform them of what to expect, as well. I lost my assistant because you decided to withhold information when that misfortune was avoidable.”

“He is only an assistant, a mere Foundation Establishment Realm assistant, at that. That is not much of a loss. Talisman Master Zhou lost a Primordial Infant Realm assistant,” argued Tian Budai, smiling as always.New n0vel chapters are published on

“We invest our every fibre into nurturing our disciples. Every disciple we lose is akin to losing a piece of us. Now that I have defused the formation – by myself for that matter – I believe it is your turn to honour your promise.”

“You defused the formation?” inquired Tian Budai, raising his pitch higher than usual.

Tian Budai turned to Zhou Jinglin, who claimed Greater Heaven Caster Lu was dead and that the formation was beyond them. Zhou Jinglin was visibly perplexed. Zhou Jinglin asked on behalf of Tian Budai, “Greater Heaven Caster Lu, I see through your ruse to lure Celestial Star Sect in to kill them out of spite.”

“What else but based on the fact that our formations are superior to your talismans? Just because you can’t find it, doesn’t mean I can’t.”

After mulling over the data provided, Tian Budai proposed, “Greater Heaven Caster Lu, I will pay you the promised four million spirit stones as promised. Howbeit, nobody can be certain if the formation will play up again. To that end, I need you to come in with us again so that you can resolve any issues that may crop up. I will pay you one million for the extra job. What do you think?”

Tian Budai was wary of the off chance that Greater Heaven Caster Lu tampered with the formation to spite them for deceiving him. If he activated it while they were in there, they would’ve been in trouble. Greater Heaven Caster Lu didn’t want to go back in. Nonetheless, Tian Budai clearly wasn’t going to take “no” for an answer. As such, Greater Heaven Caster Lu answered, “All right, but I demand payment first.”

“Sure.” Tian Budai passed Greater Heaven Caster Lu a black piece of jade. “This is Million Company’s spirit stone jade. You can exchange it at any of their branches. I assume you recognise this jade piece.”

The formation imbued in the jade was Formation Sect’s work, so of course Greater Heaven Caster Lu recognised the jade piece. The spirit stone count and where they came from was recorded within. Hence, people couldn’t forge the numbers.

After checking his paycheque, Greater Heaven Caster Lu put the jade piece away and headed back in – not forgetting to cast a disdainful gaze Zhou Jinglin’s way. Ten people went with Greater Heaven Caster Lu, while nine stayed behind as backup. Zhou Jinglin decided to go along so that he could brown nose Tian Budai.

The group walked in to see the yin corpses playing a childish hand-clapping game. An hour ago, Xiaoshuai and the dragon vine played a yin corpse pyramid game, where the one who stacked up a higher pyramid won.

“Finally! How sceptical can they be?! Xiaoshuai, game time is over. It’s time to work.”

Mu Yu anticipated it’d take hours for him to recover, but his black and white spiritual energy was almost magic.

“Wait, I have even better game they can all play together,” Xiaoshuai said, raising his eyebrows multiple times with a grin on his mug.
