My brother is so cunning

Chapter 968 Defying Fate Requires One's Own Responsibility
The Queen Mother was in a terrible mood, especially when she thought about that contract. She had taken it out herself, as if she was afraid Wen Rui would back out, and she had practically forced him to sign it.

That wasn't a contract, it was practically a death warrant!

With this contract in hand, no matter what outrageous things Wen Rui does, the Tongtian Sect Leader can stand up for him and smooth things over with a simple "There's a reason for everything, it takes two to tango."

If the case is taken to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the best outcome would be for both sides to be equally punished.

With that contract in hand, Wen Rui was essentially holding the license to execute immortals. In the vast Heavenly Court, anyone who dared to help the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother obstruct his marriage could be killed by him. Even if he bore the karmic consequences of killing, he could at least shift most of it onto the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother of the West was incredibly intelligent; she quickly grasped the situation and, no matter how angry she was, she was unwilling to vent her anger on her wayward daughter.

With that slap, Wenrui Villa could be built right next to the Milky Way.

After calming herself down, the Queen Mother asked with a dark face, "When did you and him... start dating?"

Princess Longji said with shame, "The time I went down to the mortal realm with him to rescue Yueying and Jiangyun..."

"How long had you two known each other back then? And you'd already formed a tragic bond with him!"

The Queen Mother of the West gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke, and squeezed out the words: "That fellow was just an emperor who had been granted godhood for his merits back then, and he didn't show any special abilities. You have always thought highly of yourself, and you are a married woman. How could you possibly be interested in him? Could it be that he used a bewitching spell or an aphrodisiac on you?"

Princess Longji bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent.

She admitted that she was indeed impulsive at the time. When she took a liking to Wen Rui, she didn't really think he was someone she could entrust her life to.

Similar to Wen Rui's idea, it's just that at the right time, when you meet the right person, you can indulge yourself without anyone knowing and you don't have to take responsibility for each other.

Princess Longji never expected that Wen Rui would be so audacious as to directly propose marriage to the Queen Mother.

Originally, Princess Longji didn't have deep feelings for Wen Rui, after all, it was just an affair. However, the image of Wen Rui boldly proposing to her in front of the Queen Mother was too dazzling, and Princess Longji couldn't help but be captivated by him, and agreed on a whim.

Even after agreeing to marry Wen Rui, Long Ji was still unsure how much sincerity the man truly had for her.

Women are naturally very intuitive, and goddesses' intuition is far beyond that of ordinary people. Princess Longji also sensed that Wen Rui's purpose in marrying her was not pure.

But so what?
If everyone here is a god, would they still be foolish enough to believe in love?
From the perspective of a true couple who know and love each other, Wen Rui is definitely not a good match, but from the perspective of a Daoist couple, he is the perfect fit.

Cultivating immortality requires a suitable Dharma partner, wealth, and location; hearing auspicious omens indicates possessing all of these.

Having completed the inheritance of the Jie Sect, he created his own secret methods of creation, which are called Dharma.

He held a lucrative and important position in the Heavenly Court, inherited the legacy of the immortals of the Jie Sect, and was also the ancestor of all merchants in the world, accumulating endless wealth and resources.

He established his own government office and resided in the Creation Palace, a place whose celestial aura was second only to the Lingxiao Palace in the Heavenly Court.

Not to mention that his Creation Palace is filled with countless novel things, and it is constantly creating even more novel things, so you will never feel bored while you are there.

This is far better than being confined to some remote, desolate star in the Doufu Star Realm, serving as a so-called beautiful symbol until eternity. Besides, Wen Rui is skilled and adept...

"Mother, I was momentarily blinded by greed. Now that I've calmed down, I realize how wrong I was..."

Despite her deep reluctance, Princess Longji was not as resolute as Wen Rui. Seeing her mother's increasingly grim expression, she habitually yielded and reluctantly took the initiative to say, "I will go and explain to the Creator God that I was just confused for a moment and refused him."

"late!"

The mother looked helpless and waved her hand in a deflated manner, saying, "In that contract, he specifically added a sentence, under the clause 'from the heart,' which stated that the first time he agreed in person would be the basis for the agreement, because if he went back on his word afterward, it would be because he was forced to do so under pressure."

"Even if you go to him now and refuse, the contract will still be ruled as a breach of contract by me, and he will still have the right to seek compensation!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Longji could barely suppress a smile. Feigning regret, she said, "Yes, that treacherous villain is incredibly meticulous. He would never leave any loopholes in the contract terms. What should we do?"

……

Wen Rui walked out of the Queen Mother's Palace, passed through the courtyard in front of the main hall, and was about to leave the Yaochi Mountain Gate when he saw a fairy maiden leading two Yaochi maids already waiting there.

When the fairy saw Wen Rui approaching, she quickly bowed respectfully and then said to the two maids beside her, "The Creation Celestial Venerable has taken a liking to you two. This is the good fortune you have accumulated over several lifetimes. Hurry up and acknowledge him as your master! Once you arrive at the Creation Celestial Palace, you must serve the Celestial Venerable well. If you make any mistakes and are kicked out by the Celestial Venerable, you should jump into the Milky Way and never come back!"

Wen Rui was stunned for a moment before slapping his forehead and remembering the two of them.

"Who said I was going to take them away?" Wen Rui's face darkened, and he said to the fairy, "Don't try to be clever!"

The two fairies, who were initially shy and expectant, were both stunned when they heard Rui's firm denial.

The shorter, more adorable fairy maid knelt at Wen Rui's feet, pleading urgently and fearfully, "Your Majesty, didn't you promise to save us? If you don't take us with you, we'll surely die. Please, have pity on us, sisters..."

Her tearful, pitiful appearance was truly endearing and easily evoked a man's protective instincts.

Wen Rui frowned, patted the bag, and two thick stacks of textbooks appeared in front of them.

"Remember, there are no gods or saviors. If you want to escape this sea of ​​suffering, you must rely on yourselves!"

"Stand up straight, don't kneel. I can only give you the chance to change your fate, I will not take action to defy fate for you."

“Go back and study these textbooks carefully. Every July, you can go to the Creation Immortal Palace to register for the exam. Those who pass the exam will be granted the position of scholar of the Creation Immortal Palace and will be granted the title of immortal official of the Heavenly Venerable’s Mansion.”

After handing the teaching materials to the two girls, Wen Rui turned to the fairy maid and said, "In such a vast Heavenly Court, there must be room for a quiet study desk. This is my saying! Go and tell the Queen Mother that not only these two fairy maids, but all the candidates preparing for the exam in the Jade Pool Immortal Realm must not disturb their studies. Otherwise, they will be contrary to the supreme doctrine of our Jie Sect, which is to teach without discrimination, and they will become enemies of our Jie Sect!"

"Not only the Jade Pool Wonderland, but from now on, all the immortals in the Heavenly Court, regardless of their status or position, even if they are just a Heavenly Soldier or a Yellow Turban Warrior, can apply to the Creation Immortal Palace. Each immortal will have three chances. Once they have used up their chances, they will no longer enjoy the privilege of being free from academic distractions!"
