Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 60 A Clichéd Love Story

In Biyou Palace.

At that moment, as a beam of light flew in, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was thrown to the ground inside the palace.

The radiance then transformed into a heart-piercing lock, flying down and landing on Tongtian's neck.

Gui Ling was thrown around in a disheveled state. He looked up and immediately saw Tongtian Jiaozhu on the platform. He quickly turned over and knelt down, bowing: "Disciple Gui Ling greets Master!"

"Then do you still regard me as your teacher?" Tongtian looked down.

Gui Ling paused for a moment and then said, "This disciple feels that Master's actions this time... this time..."

Tongtiandao: "How did it go this time?"

“Master, it was clearly a friendly spar between my fellow disciples and Yu Ding. According to my fellow disciples, it was Yu Ding and Huang Long who insulted our Jie Sect. Both sides suffered injuries after the spar.”

Gui Ling said, "Even if we were to deal with it, both sides would be at fault. However, Master has been protecting Yu Ding in every way, while suppressing his own disciples under the mountain. Such a decision is truly biased..."

"Hmm?" Tongtian glanced over.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit hurriedly prostrated herself on the ground, but stubbornly remained silent.

“Turtle Spirit, I am pleased to see that you have the heart to protect your fellow disciples and that there is harmony among your disciples. However, there are some things you must not listen to only their side of the story.”

Tongtian stared at the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit and said, "The matter is in the past. You don't know what happened back then. You can only listen to what they say, but how do you know that what they say is necessarily the truth?"

There are things he doesn't say, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know them.

His disciples also had their shortcomings, but their strengths were also quite obvious, such as their unity.

At this moment, he also realized that the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit had been deceived by others when she chased the Jade Cauldron. In addition, she was straightforward and could not bear to see her fellow disciples being bullied, which is why she did this.

He intentionally advised his honest apprentice to be more tactful and not to become someone else's tool without knowing why.

Yu Ding does this very well. He used to be straightforward and taciturn, which was not very likable, but now he speaks nicely and is quite considerate in his dealings with others.

Such a person... is hard to dislike.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit paused for a moment before saying, "Compared to Yu Ding, an outsider, I trust my junior brothers' words more."

Tongtian was speechless and could only wave his hand helplessly: "This matter ends here. You have disobeyed your master's orders. Now go back and meditate on the Yellow Court for sixty years!"

"Yes!" Guiling Shengmu acknowledged the order and withdrew.

Watching the turtle spirit leave,
The Master of Heaven's gaze was somewhat profound.

Although his disciples were all of unusual origin, they were not entirely without merit. Although Yuanshi's disciples came from better backgrounds, were they truly without any flaws?

That's not necessarily true!
……

Above the clouds, the weather was clear and sunny.

Boo!
The Feihe brand convertible mini-supersonic was currently flying at one speed of sound. Behind Xiaohe'er, Yu Ding closed his eyes and silently digested what he had learned.

He gained a lot from this trip to Biyou Palace. Not to mention those few sword energies of Zhuxian, the most important thing was that he entered Biyou Palace's library.

With all that knowledge stored in my head, this trip will definitely not have been in vain.

After all... knowledge is priceless!

The contents of this library are indeed very comprehensive, covering everything from astronomy and geography to ancient and modern times.

The books are not only written by the Tongtian Sect Leader, but also contain cultivation insights from elite disciples for junior brothers to refer to, as well as the Taoist techniques and supernatural powers they created.

In addition, there are supernatural powers of humans, dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, as well as various secrets passed down from a very long time ago.

Living a long life definitely has its advantages...

Yu Ding could only sigh at this, just as the saying goes:

Ten years can witness the coming of spring and the passing of autumn; a hundred years can prove birth, aging, sickness, and death; a thousand years can lament the rise and fall of dynasties; and ten thousand years can reveal the shifting of stars and constellations.
For immortals with long lifespans, it is indeed not difficult to record some of their personal experiences for future generations to see.

Especially since his uncle is an old... handsome guy who has lived since before the creation of the world!
And so, Yu Ding, while gaining insights and learning about the secrets of the world, traveled to the mainland with He'er.

"Wow……"

One day, a sudden exclamation startled Yu Ding from his cultivation.

When Yu Ding opened his eyes, he saw He'er looking up at the sky, her eyes filled with amazement.

In the sky, a long white rainbow streaked across the horizon, like a rainbow bridge hanging in the azure sky.

As the white rainbow disappeared into the distance, countless tiny points of light gradually drifted down from the sky and fell in all directions.

"Chicken dinner..." Yu Ding shook off the strange thought in his mind, and a clone flew out from his body, heading towards the nearest starlight. His main body silently extended his right index finger, preparing to activate the Six Meridians Divine Sword, while holding a golden, indestructible talisman in his left hand.

They hadn't left the East China Sea territory yet, so he wasn't sure if this was another mischief orchestrated by his uncle's disciples.

There are countless roads, but safety is the most important. A careless trip can bring tears to your loved ones' eyes...

Moreover, he was traveling alone, without any powerful strength to rely on, and the people of the Jie Sect did not know that he was crippled and would therefore go all out when he made a move...

However, once he has weathered the first wave of damage, he can immediately and seamlessly switch to the Primordial Six Meridians Divine Sword to launch a counterattack.

When the starlight landed in the clone's hand, the clone carefully examined the jade cauldron and discovered that it was actually a scroll of jade.

"What is this?" Yu Ding narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't think it was just luck, like those novel protagonists who casually picked up some heaven-defying divine skill.

His clone then opened the jade slip, which was led by three small dragons.

Upon closer inspection, the entire piece is filled with small dragons of various shapes.

“Dragon Pattern…” Yu Ding raised an eyebrow.

If Yu Ding hadn't taken the opportunity to study the Dragon Script during his advanced studies at the Biyou Palace Library, he would never have recognized that the little dragons on the scroll were actually the Dragon Clan's script.

Don't ask him how he learned dragon script so quickly; it's all about talent.

Although still quite inexperienced, Yu Ding had at least gotten to know the Dragon Clan.

Immediately, he connected his mind with his clone and began reading the contents of the document.

The main body frowned as it translated...

"The Tale of the Fox Fairy? Volume 2?"

Finally, Yu Ding's expression became somewhat strange.

He hadn't read the first half of the book, but the second half was about a fox spirit who gazed day and night in the direction her husband had left from the place where she had said goodbye, but she never saw him return.

She just kept waiting and waiting...

Her newlywed husband, meanwhile, went to war-torn human lands.

He started as a lowly soldier in a tribe, gradually built his power and created a glorious legacy, until finally only two major forces remained.

In order to end the world's strife, he had no choice but to marry the daughter of the leader of another large tribe to form an alliance, gain people's trust, and restore peace to the world... but in reality, it was a sham marriage.

But when the fox fairy heard this news, she was heartbroken. She cried until her tears ran dry, and after her heart died, she turned into a stone that looked out for her husband!

When her husband returned with his new wife, he was overjoyed, he only saw the "waiting-for-husband stone" that his beloved had transformed into.

"Fox spirits... mortals... Yu the Great and the Tushan clan?"

Yu Ding raised an eyebrow, not expecting to see such a novel in the Investiture of the Gods. It is said that Yu the Great's wife was a nine-tailed fox, known as Tu Shan Shi.

Although the nine-tailed fox is now considered an auspicious beast under the Queen Mother of the West, and hasn't been demonized as much after Su Daji, there are still records of it eating people.
Therefore, apart from Qingqiu and Tushan, all other wild fox spirits are demons.

Seeing this story now, it's hard not to make connections, especially since the male protagonist is also named Yu Hou, though the details are somewhat different...

Yu the Great went to control the floods, not to fight for supremacy.

He is known for passing by his home three times without entering, and his wife is also associated with the legend of the Waiting-for-Husband Stone, but there is no story as... slightly melodramatic as a fake marriage.

As for the content of the first half of the book, Yu Ding didn't read it, but he could guess without reading it that it was nothing more than the old-fashioned beginning of getting to know each other, meeting and staying together, but having to leave for some reason.

and so……

Yu Ding concluded: This is a shallow and clichéd love story with a tragic ending, based on the characters of Yu the Great and Tushan.

The writing style is very skillful and excellent, but the ideas lack depth; it's just a simple story about romantic love between a man and a woman.

The only highlight might be the difference in race between the male and female leads, but the plot is somewhat clichéd, the story is too flat, and due to the limited length, there aren't many ups and downs or conflicts. It's not particularly intricate, and there are too few contradictions...

For Yu Ding, the story was less appealing than guessing who the author was.

The writing is in dragon script... so many people's first reaction is that it is a dragon race, but Yu Ding thinks otherwise.

This is similar to the popular love stories of humans and immortals, humans and demons, and gods and humans in the past...

The final protagonist will definitely be a poor scholar, since it was written by a scholar, so Yu Ding boldly asserts:

The author of this book must be either a human or a demon.
