The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 86: Troublesome Errand


Immortal Zhenyuan and Sun Wukong exchanged a glance.

The thing they were concerned about still happened—the White Robed Venerate also had his people in this Star Palace.

"Junior Brother, has Galuo discovered us?"

Immortal Zhenyuan sent his question telepathically.

"Probably not."

Sun Wukong shook his head.

If Galuo had discovered their true identities, the White Robed Venerate would certainly have sent someone over.

Galuo probably just suspected that behind Heng'e, it was the Goddess of Wushan manipulating the recruitment of a husband, wanting to stop it.

"Let's put this matter aside for now."

Sun Wukong telepathically communicated to Immortal Zhenyuan.

He looked at the Goddess: "So it seems, among all these men, none has caught the Goddess's eye?"

"None."

The Goddess looked at the men, her gaze stopping on Dong Tian: "His roots are extraordinary, and he hasn't entirely lost his talents."

Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan were pleased.

"If that's the case, the Goddess could take him as a husband."

Immortal Zhenyuan said.

"That is not possible."

The Wushan Goddess shook her head and replied: "He has a destiny with the Immortal way, and is only suitable to be a disciple."

However, she already had many disciples, and after thinking it over, the Goddess still did not wish to keep Dong Tian.

Immortal Zhenyuan and Sun Wukong were somewhat disappointed.

"Junior Brother, if the Goddess is not satisfied, we might as well take them back with us and select another group for the Goddess."

Immortal Zhenyuan said to Sun Wukong.

The Goddess looked at him with joy and reminded: "This time you two must be cautious not to give Galuo an opportunity."

"We know."

Sun Wukong nodded.

This time, their mistake was to have selected the candidates and let them prepare on their own.

Having learned their lesson, next time they would directly present the selected candidates to the Goddess, thus avoiding such problems.

"Let's go back."

Sun Wukong said to Immortal Zhenyuan.

"Collect!"

With a sweep of his arm, Immortal Zhenyuan called forth the Immortal Wind across the hall, sweeping the men into his sleeve.

He shook his sleeve and, together with Sun Wukong, bid farewell to the Goddess and left the Immortal Palace.

The Goddess watched their retreating figures, falling deep into thought.

"They don't seem to be sent by the White Robed Venerate, so who are they? And why did they come here?"

The Goddess was puzzled in her heart.

"Junior Brother."

Unaware of the Goddess's doubts after leaving the Immortal Palace, Immortal Zhenyuan asked Sun Wukong: "What shall we do with these men?"

"Let's take them back to the Daoist Temple first, and then use magic to alter their memories."

Sun Wukong said.

"That's the only way."

Immortal Zhenyuan nodded.

Both returned to the Daoist Temple, where the child servant, Heavenly Dog, and Heavenly Horse immediately came to greet them.

"Master, did the Goddess choose a husband?"

The child servant asked curiously.

Sun Wukong shook his head, informing her of the situation at the Immortal Palace.

"After we left, was there anything unusual here?"

Sun Wukong continued to ask.

The child servant shook her head: "Nothing."

"Then Galuo probably hasn't discovered us."

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and then said to Immortal Zhenyuan: "However, this person poses a great danger, and we cannot delay any longer; he must be found."

Immortal Zhenyuan nodded in agreement.

The two then worked together to cast their magic, altering the men's memories.

Afterward, the men were carried out of the Daoist Temple by the Heavenly Horse and Heavenly Dog, only regaining full consciousness after leaving the temple, as if they had all been in a dream.

"We never expected that we, being so outstanding, would all fail to win Miss Heng'e's affection."

A man let out a sigh.

"Miss Heng'e is a fairy from the heavens, far beyond our reach."

Another man also said, "Just having visited her Immortal Palace in person is already an unforgettable experience in this lifetime."

Other men nodded in agreement.

As if they had just awoken from a dream, they chatted while walking down the mountain.

Once they were out of the valley, Dong Tian suddenly stopped and looked back at the Daoist Temple that appeared and disappeared within the mist.

"What is it?"

Asked the other men.

"I feel like I've forgotten something."

Dong Tian replied.

After looking for a long while, he finally left, urged on by the other men.

"That man truly has a fate with immortality."

Watching this scene from the clouds, Immortal Zhenyuan commented, "The Heavenly Court is in need of talent. Brother, not giving him some guidance seems rather a pity."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "If his heart is set on the Tao, he will go to Wushan in the future."

He pondered over the upcoming marriage recruitment.

During this marriage recruitment, he had to find Galuo as well.

Galuo was keen on pursuing the Goddess; if his issue wasn't resolved, it would not be easy to find a suitable husband for the Goddess.

"Immortal, I'd like to ask a favor of you."

Sun Wukong turned to Immortal Zhenyuan.

Immortal Zhenyuan immediately had a bad premonition.

One day later, in Bai Du City, tens of thousands of miles away from Wushan, the marriage recruitment began once again.

Crowds gathered around the walls, discussing the posters with great interest.

"Miss Heng'e is recruiting for marriage again? Didn't she just have a recruitment?"

A man asked with a puzzled face, only to have a Taoist reply, "You don't know, the men selected last time failed to win her heart and were all sent back."

"I see."

The man immediately cheered up: "Perfect, I missed the chance last time; I must try this time!"

"I want to try as well!"

Many men were eager to give it a go.

Their enthusiasm, apart from being for Heng'e, also came from the fact that after participating last time, the men returned with great fame, and many prestigious families were eager to offer their daughters.

Even if they couldn't win Heng'e's heart, catching the eye of a prominent figure was also considered great.

The men were full of zeal, until they arrived at the marriage recruitment site and their enthusiasm was instantly quenched.

The recruitment site and the methods were similar to the previous one, with nothing particularly special.

What doused the men's spirits was a young man.

Dressed in white with black hair and holding a folding fan, the youth seemed like a deity incarnate.

His skin faintly glowed, as if radiating light, making all the handsome men around seem like ugly ducklings in comparison.

"Who is this striking young man!"

Everyone was stunned.

Some men who planned to take part in the recruitment immediately lost their will and stood watching from the sidelines, behaving themselves.

Those who hadn't given up felt immense pressure and voluntarily kept their distance from the youth.

For a moment, the bustling recruitment site presented a strange scene: people crowded all around, yet no one approached the youth.

Amidst the contrast of the crowded and leisurely, the youth stood out all the more.

"My brother has got me into quite the troublesome task."

The youth looked around, thinking to himself.

He had no interest in meddling in the matter of marriage recruitment.

However...

"This feeling isn't too bad either."

Immortal Zhenyuan didn't care for human gazes, but he felt a bit pleased when so many people looked at him with admiration.

"My lord."

A girl transformed into Heng'e hid in the attic, looking at Immortal Zhenyuan: "Are you using him to attract Galuo?"

"The Immortal is suitable."

Sun Wukong nodded.

"My lord is truly a genius!"

The girl couldn't help but say.

With Immortal Zhenyuan's charisma, Galuo would surely make a move to interfere.
