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

Although Tongtian remained silent, he couldn't resist Hongyun's mischievousness and cheekily leaned in again: "Guess!"

Tongtian: "I won't guess!"

Hongyun nudged him with her elbow: "Guess!"

Tongtian: "I won't guess!"

"Guess what? It'll be interesting, you'll never expect it." Hongyun said mysteriously.

Some people are born with curiosity and cannot resist temptation, like Tongtian.

After being provoked by Hongyun several times, Tongtian once again fell into hesitation.

"I can't guess, just tell me!"

That's incredible! Not only is he curious, but he also forgets everything he's been taught a lesson.

Hongyun: "I won't tell you! You have to guess it yourself. You'll only feel a sense of accomplishment if you figure it out yourself."

Tongtian glanced around the hall and whispered, "Was it Senior Luo Hou who punished you, or was it your master?"

"It was the Dao Ancestor's punishment!" Hongyun said truthfully.

Tongtian frowned in confusion: "That shouldn't be the case. Senior Luo Hou didn't plead for you, or didn't go... umm?"

"Hmm?" Hongyun understood.

Continue teasing him: "No!"

Tongtian was puzzled again: "This shouldn't be!"

Hongyun shrugged, still refusing to tell him, thus arousing all his curiosity.

"Could it be that Master and Senior Luo Hou are angry and are punishing you to vent your anger?" It's not surprising that Tongtian would think of this.

However, this also achieved Hongyun's goal. The more outrageous Tongtian's guesses were, the more uncomfortable Hongjun in the hall felt.

Since he's so biased, let's hear what his beloved student thinks of him; hopefully, he won't care.

On the surface, she offered a simple defense of him: "In your eyes, is that the kind of person the Dao Ancestor is?"

Tongtian, completely oblivious, asked, "What happened? Master punished you because you made a mistake. But what mistake did you make that even Senior Luo Hou isn't helping you?"

One guess: "To poke a hole in the sky?"

Another guess: "Did they burn down the Purple Cloud Palace?"

The absurdity escalated: "They poisoned Senior Luo Hou?"

"Or did they try to assassinate their master?"

Hongyun was utterly shocked by Tongtian's train of thought and could no longer hold back, bursting out laughing: "Hahahaha~"

"Gah~" Hongyun's mouth couldn't open.

Just after that burst of hearty laughter, he suddenly couldn't open his mouth anymore.

Seeing that Hongyun's mouth had been sealed and his eyes were gradually filled with terror, Tongtian felt that he had guessed the truth.

"How could you do this? Master and Senior Luo Hou have been so good to you! As long as you don't betray the sect, they won't punish you!"

You must have made a grave mistake this time, and they only punished you by making you kneel. You should reflect on your actions! Your master and Senior Luo Hou are both compassionate and forgiving. If you carefully admit your mistake, they will not blame you further!

Tongtian reprimanded Hongyun with righteous indignation, but his words implied that he still wanted to help Hongyun.

First, they reprimanded Hongjun, then flattered him and Luohou, trying to make Hongyun admit his mistake and then let them off easily.

Hongyun felt a pang of guilt; Tongtian had done so much for him, yet he had acted like a bad friend.

Now his mouth is sealed shut, and I can't even remind him. I can only reach out to stop him from saying anything more, and then gesture.

Even Tongtian couldn't understand Hongyun's gestures. After a while, he said, "What are you doing? What do you want to say? You can use telepathy!"

Hongyun paused for a moment, realizing she had indeed forgotten about the telepathic communication.

Get up!

Just as Hongyun was about to send a telepathic message to Tongtian, Hongjun's voice came again, showing that he had been focused on the situation outside.
