"No visitors?"
When Tian Peng heard the guard's words, he immediately looked at Yang Jian, who was behind him.
He was quite tactful. He immediately looked at the guard with a smile. With a flip of his left hand, he took out a small immortal pouch and handed it over calmly.
"Please inform him that the Heavenly River Navy Commander, Tian Peng, has something to ask of you."
"This …" The guard looked around calmly and took the brocade pouch. He scanned it with his spiritual senses and saw that there were many Spirit Crystals inside. He immediately smiled.
"Commander, what's the matter?"
Tian Peng smiled and said, "It's an important matter. I don't dare to delay."
"In that case … Yes …"
Tian Peng continued, "If the old immortal blames me, I'll take all the blame!"
"Alright, I'll go and inform him now. As for whether Lord Taibai Jinxing will see you or not, I can't guarantee."
"Thank you, thank you." Tian Peng cupped his hands. His expression was always amiable, and his handsome face was also tainted with a hint of the secular world.
Yang Jian shook his head as he watched from the side.
Although the scenery in the Celestial Court was beautiful and immortal, the people there were so secular.
The scene of a fifth-grade official in front of the prime minister's door was really portrayed vividly by Tian Peng and the guard.
Tian Peng had been in the Celestial Court for a long time. He had become the commander of the Celestial Court's navy, but he was still a small fry. It was difficult for him to see Venus Taibai.
Yang Jian sighed in his heart and waited attentively. He looked around.
This was already an important place in the Celestial Court. There were many array formations that had not been activated around. In the distance, the Celestial Court was heavily guarded.
If he wanted to behave atrociously here, he would really have to become a monkey.
"Commander Tian Peng?" The gatekeeper ran out happily and cupped his hands at Tian Peng. "Lord Taibai Jinxing has just woken up. Just go in. There will be a boy to lead the way."
Tian Peng sighed in relief and cast a glance at Yang Jian, who was behind him. Yang Jian, who had turned into a handsome teenager, put on a cheerful smile.
This smile further confirmed Tian Peng's previous speculation.
"Yes, let's go in." Tian Peng put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in front. Yang Jian followed behind and was about to enter when he was stopped by the Heavenly General.
Venus Taibai's gatekeeper said, "Please stay. My lord only wants to see Commander Tian Peng alone."
Tian Peng frowned and looked at Yang Jian without batting an eyelid. Yang Jian said calmly, "I want to see Lord Taibai Jinxing."
"Ah, that's right, that's right. The important matter is related to him," Tian Peng hurriedly said.
The gatekeeper hesitated for a while. Thinking about the bag of Spirit Stones just now, he nodded reluctantly. "That's fine. Let's go in."
Tian Peng was overjoyed. Yang Jian followed behind Tian Peng and was wary of all possible changes.
After entering the dignified Taibai Jinxing Residence, a Dao child with neat sideburns bowed to the two of them and shouted respectfully, "Esteemed guest, please come this way."
Esteemed guest?
Tian Peng immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest. He could not help but feel happy.
Yang Jian was secretly vigilant.
He had the upper hand in the two verbal exchanges with Venus Taibai previously. However, that was not enough to prove that Venus Taibai was "average". On the contrary, there were all sorts of mysteries about this old immortal.
Taibai was in the east, and Venus was in charge of killing and "change". There were also many other signs.
As for Venus Taibai, he had always appeared as the "loyal dog of the Jade Emperor". No one had seen him attack and be dignified. However, there was a feeling that he was hidden.
As the saying goes, a small hermit hides in the forest, and a big hermit hides in the busy city. If Venus Taibai "hides" in the court, how should he be judged?
"Esteemed guest, please enter," the Dao child said softly. He stood in front of a palace that could not be considered "strange, magnificent, and grand" and said respectfully. Then, he bowed and gestured.
Tian Peng felt a little guilty. He looked at Yang Jian. The latter raised his chin at him, and Tian Peng gulped.
What if this person is not here to join the Celestial Court but to seek revenge from Venus Taibai … Wouldn't I …
"Go in, Commander." Yang Jian said softly. He took half a step forward and quietly pushed Tian Peng's waist. Tian Peng staggered into the hall, and Yang Jian followed closely.
The space inside the hall was not spacious. It was more like a warm pavilion. It was divided into three spaces on the left, middle, and right by a few straw mats.
On the left was a bed and wardrobe, and on the right were a few bookshelves filled with books. In the middle was a short table with an incense burner on it, exuding a soothing fragrance.
The hall was transparent. Yang Jian entered from the front door. He did not see Venus Taibai, but he pushed Tian Peng to the short table. The old Daoist wearing a white Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk walked in from the back door.
With a wave of the horsetail whisk, the four doors in the front and back slowly closed at the same time. Another layer of array was naturally activated.
Venus Taibai chuckled and looked at Yang Jian. Then, he said, "Commander Tian Peng, why are you looking for me?"
"I … This …" Tian Peng licked his lips. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
"There's no hurry." Venus Taibai smiled. "Sit down and talk."
"Yes." Tian Peng then remembered and cupped his hands. Then, he sat beside the short table with his back straight like a general.
Venus Taibai smiled and sat cross-legged opposite Tian Peng. Then, he pointed at the meditation cushion beside Tian Peng. "Esteemed guest, don't you want to sit?"
Yang Jian's lips curled into a cold smile. He had indeed been exposed.
Where was he exposed? This was not important, and it was not what he should think about now.
If he was exposed, there would be things that he could do after being exposed. It was naturally best if he was not exposed. Even if he was exposed, there was no need to panic. Even if the Celestial Court wanted to arrest him, he could still carry out the worst plan — borrow the power of the Dao Sect.
"There's no tea either?" Yang Jian seemed to say with some dissatisfaction. He still maintained the disguise of a young man and sat cross-legged beside Tian Peng.
Tian Peng was not just at the wrong place. He asked in a daze, "You two … know each other?"
"Hahaha!" Venus Taibai was stunned at first. Then, he stroked his beard and laughed. He shook his head and sighed. "Commander Tian Peng is indeed the blessed general of the Celestial Court."
Tian Peng smiled embarrassedly. "Old Immortal, you flatter me … flatter me."
He did not praise a valiant general but praised a blessed general. Would he not indirectly say that his strength was not good enough? He admitted that his strength was not good enough. However, it was a little awkward when it came from the mouth of an old immortal who was an official of the same court.
Venus Taibai turned to Yang Jian. His laughter calmed down and he sighed. "You really forced both of you to a point of no return."
Naturally, he was referring to Yang Jian's previous oath to the Heavenly Dao.
Yang Jian said, "If a person is not in a desperate situation, I'm afraid he can't stimulate his own potential."
"But you are still a little too hasty," Venus Taibai said seriously. "If you want to be the person who plays chess, you must be calm, assess the situation, and then turn all changes to your own use. This is the real way to break through."
"My cultivation level is shallow. I'm afraid I can't be called a chess player." Yang Jian shook his head. Naturally, he fundamentally denied Venus Taibai's words.
Venus Taibai smiled and swept his horsetail whisk. He tapped the table in front of him. "Mortals can also play chess. It depends on the chessboard, the situation, and the opponent. You must know that the high officials and nobles in the South Continent are all mortals. How can they play chess? "
"This is not the other way. It's useless to fight." Yang Jian changed the topic. "Since you know that I'm here and talk to me like this, old immortal, are you going to answer the questions in my heart?"
Venus Taibai's smile froze. He looked at Yang Jian and hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.
"Other than a few people, no one knows about this. After all, it's a big deal."
Yang Jian clenched his fists under the table.
At the side, the future famous Marshal Tian Peng was sweating profusely. His eyes were filled with confusion.
He wanted to understand what the two of them were talking about, but he realized that the two of them were not talking about it directly. They were deliberately mystifying things.
Why are you not in a hurry? What do you mean by playing chess … playing chess? If you want to play chess, just do it. Why are you talking nonsense here …
Is it because Tian Peng's wisdom is not good enough, or are the two seniors too mysterious?
It's good enough that they didn't fight, but Tian Peng still wanted to know what they were talking about and what they were saying.
With Taibai Jinxing here, he might be able to keep his life. However, this guy who did not show his real body had a bead in his hand. That was something that could ruin his future and bring disaster to him and his beloved fairy.
What should I do?
If the other Heavenly Generals and fairies were 'reported', they would at most be stripped of their positions and whipped by Heavenly Thunder a few times.
But if this guy was in a bad mood and spread the scene between him and Little Ning to every corner of the Heavenly Court through the Shadow Recording Pearl, then … then it would really cost him his life!
Ah … the senior beside me is emitting a murderous aura?
He even clenched his fists!
What is he doing? Is he going to fight because of a disagreement? But who is the one who got into a disagreement? Can he explain for me, the third party?
Venus Taibai suddenly sighed and said, "This is for you."
He took out a small luminous pearl. Yang Jian held the pearl in his hand and his gaze immediately froze.
What's inside?
Mohan?
Yang Jian stood up.
He looked at the almost illusory figure in the luminous pearl, looking in a certain direction with a dazed expression and mumbling non-stop.
