Chapter 404 How Favored Yang Jiao Was
Zhen Yuanzi realized that the Jade Emperor probably already knew about the Primordial Purple Qi on Yang Jiao's body.
The two quasi-saints, one the ancestor of earthly immortals and the other the lord of the three realms, exchanged glances.
Suddenly they shouted in unison:
"Jiao'er".
"Jiao'er".
Yang Jiao turned around, exclaimed "Ah!", and nodded her head up and down.
The Jade Emperor found Zhen Yuanzi extremely annoying. What kind of relatives did this Taoist priest who suddenly appeared out of nowhere claim? Unlike himself, who was Yang Jiao's maternal uncle.
After all, they are connected by blood. Having understood this, the Jade Emperor's face softened, and he called out:
"Jiao'er, come to your uncle."
Just as Yang Jiao was about to go over, Zhen Yuanzi called out from behind:
"Jiao'er, come to your uncle."
She was suddenly at a loss and stood there stunned.
Are these two arguing about something?
The Jade Emperor gave a light snort and said to Zhen Yuanzi:
“Even adopting a godparent requires the approval of the elders in the family. Your uncle’s status is not legitimate and is not pure.”
No! Pure!
The two words seemed nailed to Zhen Yuanzi's face. He snorted coldly, glanced at the majestic Jade Emperor standing behind him with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and replied without the slightest fear:
"Although Jiao'er is your niece, the word 'niece' makes her distant from you, not really close."
No! Honey!
Two words stuck in the Jade Emperor's heart.
Grand Master Xuandu stepped forward to smooth things over. Although he was also a quasi-saint, the two people in front of him were indeed stronger than him and of noble status.
He bowed respectfully before speaking:
"Yang Jiao is a direct disciple of the Human Sect, which is known throughout the Three Realms. Since Master is both a teacher and a father, Yang Jiao is Xuan Du's younger sister."
The Jade Emperor hasn't settled this score yet.
The gods appointed by the Heavenly Court should, in principle, give face and not steal people away.
He coldly rebuked:
"We still need to give an explanation to the Heavenly Court regarding the Supreme Sage."
So what if he's a saint? They're openly robbing people!
Grand Master Xuandu bowed even more politely, looked directly at the Jade Emperor, and asked:
"Your Majesty, which of the Heavenly Laws states that Heavenly Deities cannot join other religions?"
Venus, who was listening nearby, broke out in a cold sweat.
While the Heavenly Laws do not explicitly prohibit deities from joining other religions, the Heavenly Court and the other major religions are all considered factions. Joining one faction is tantamount to tacitly acknowledging that one belongs to that faction.
Now, even the Grand Master Xuandu doesn't accept this reasoning!
Who can I complain to?
Although the Supreme Sage was not eloquent, he had his own set of theories. The Humanist sect seized on the fact that this Heavenly Rule did not exist, and the Jade Emperor really could not come to him to demand an explanation.
This made Venus very anxious.
But Zhen Yuanzi, seeing the Jade Emperor lose face, burst into laughter, stroking his beard and letting out a sigh:
"This rule is indeed not in the Heavenly Laws."
Grand Master Xuandu cast a smiling glance at Zhen Yuanzi, then bowed respectfully and said:
"In that case, Xuandu will take his junior sister and leave first. You two are busy with your affairs, so we won't disturb you any longer."
After saying this, Grand Master Xuandu walked gracefully toward Yang Jiao.
Zhen Yuanzi's breath caught in his throat, and he said urgently:
"Wait a minute."
He glared at Grand Master Xuandu, thinking, "What a clever disciple of the Human Sect! He thinks he can take Yang Jiao away from me with such ease!"
If he succeeds, then what was the point of his earlier confrontation with the Jade Emperor?
Young people are so cunning.
Maitreya and Ksitigarbha waited quietly to the side. The two were the mainstays of the Western Paradise. Standing in front of these people, they suddenly felt that their status was very lowly.
They leaned on each other, watching as this group of people, whose mere stomp could shake the Three Realms, vied to send Yang Jiao home.
Is this some kind of glorious job?
Ksitigarbha's mind shattered, and he suddenly felt that he should also compete, after all, which of the three quasi-saints in front of him had a deeper bond than the one between them?
What about blood ties, what about the deep bond between uncle and nephew, what about fellow disciples?
Compared to their sworn brotherhood, it's worthless!
He strode forward, but was gently pulled back by Maitreya. Maitreya's squinty eyes curved into an even deeper arc.
Maitreya, sensing something amiss, chuckled softly:
"Let them fight it out. The more they value Yang Jiao, the more secure our lives will be."
For the first time, Maitreya felt indirectly protected by a group of quasi-saints and saints, and he felt very at ease.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, upon hearing this, also found it quite reasonable. He felt a surge of pride and, after a light cough, addressed Maitreya:
"Thank me, if I hadn't met her on the Sea of Blood first, none of this good things would have happened."
Maitreya glanced at him sideways and said with a smile:
"When we first became sworn brothers, who was it that shouted that we shouldn't have met her on the Sea of Blood?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not respond, as if he had never said anything.
Maitreya's smile remained unchanged, and he suddenly said:
"The Kunpeng incident is over now. There's nothing bigger than this. We can both rest assured."
He finished speaking.
Ksitigarbha looked at him and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Whenever I feel relieved, I always feel that there is an even bigger problem behind it.
Could he be a saint?
Or perhaps there's something else?
Suddenly, the weight on their hearts lifted again.
At this moment, everyone present looked at Yang Jiao as if she were a precious treasure.
I wish I could put it in my pocket so that others wouldn't covet it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Venus stepped forward and said to Yang Jiao:
"Since Qingfu Zhengshen went down to the mortal realm to oversee the conferment of gods, he has not yet been able to go to the Heavenly Court to explain in detail. Now that he has some free time, he might as well take this opportunity to go to the Heavenly Court and also visit the Fourth Heaven."
The Jade Emperor gave Venus a subtle, admiring glance.
Grand Master Xuandu stood before Yang Jiao and said only:
"Since His Majesty is here, it will be easier to talk now."
Zhen Yuanzi pulled Yang Jiao aside from behind and whispered to her:
“A huge ginseng fruit has grown on the ginseng fruit tree in the temple. Uncle will take you to pick it.”
Grand Master Xuandu, holding Yang Jiao's hand, spoke warmly to Zhen Yuanzi:
“Great Immortal, a new batch of pills has been produced in the Tushita Palace. The quality is excellent, and Master specially reserved it for Yang Jiao.”
After saying that, he whispered in Yang Jiao's ear, "The Green Ox has already stored up ten Nine-Turn Golden Pills, and is waiting for you."
Yang Jiao was caught in a dilemma.
They looked to Ksitigarbha and Maitreya for help.
In this situation, going anywhere will offend people.
She was very distressed.
His troubled expression made Ksitigarbha and Maitreya grit their teeth.
What's the point of looking at them? It's like they've been fought over by so many big shots, like Ksitigarbha and Maitreya.
Bai Ze squatted enviously in front of the Demon Master's Palace.
I really want to be snatched away by the Jade Emperor and Zhen Yuanzi.
No one would believe such treatment if word got out.
