At that moment, Little Chan 'er was surprisingly well-behaved. Although she felt that Yang Jian did not need to be polite to these "minions" of the Celestial Court, she only pursed her lips slightly …
She had to be more ladylike in front of her mother.
Venus Taibai leisurely floated away, leaving Yang Jian, Yang Xiaochan, and Yohime's family of three. It gave the family a rare moment to be alone.
Yohime wanted to help Yang Jian to a seat at the side to rest. Yang Jian struggled to stand up straight, looked at Yohime, and said something through voice transmission.
Yang Xiaochan blinked at Yang Jian. Her face was a little red, and she seemed to be a little bashful.
"Mother, sit down first," said Yang Jian.
Yohime did not understand. She said softly, "You're so seriously injured. Don't try to be brave in front of me. It's all my fault that you were implicated … "
"It's true that two people love each other. What's wrong is the heavenly rules. What's wrong is the selfishness and insatiable ambition of the human heart."
As Yang Jian said that, he helped Yohime to sit on a seat at the side. His injured calf went numb, and Yang Jian almost fell. Yang Xiaochan hurriedly went forward to support Yang Jian. Together with Yang Jian, they knelt in front of Yohime.
Yohime hurriedly stood up to support the two of them. She could not stop her tears from flowing, and her eyes were red.
"Mother."
"Mother …"
The two of them shouted and kowtowed to Yohime.
Yohime was half-accepting and half-pushing. When they were done bowing, she hurriedly pulled them up. Looking at Yang Jian and Little Chan 'er, she could only sigh softly …
"I've always let you down. I've caused you to wander about and suffer a lot …"
Yang Jian smiled and said, "It's all in the past."
"Yes, Mother, Big Brother has been taking care of me. I haven't suffered much." Yang Xiaochan giggled and quickly pulled Yang Jian to the side to sit down.
Yohime walked forward and knelt beside Yang Jian's legs. She lifted Yang Jian's somewhat tattered trousers and looked at the most serious injury on his calf.
There was a thumb-sized hole there, barely scraping past the bone and piercing through Yang Jian's flesh.
"How did you get hurt like this?" Yohime's jade-like fingers gently touched, wanting to use immortal energy to urge Yang Jian's flesh to grow, but she suffered a backlash from the power, almost injuring herself.
Yang Jian hurriedly said, "This should be the work of an expert. Perhaps he had good intentions and wanted me to collapse at that time … It's alright, I'll recover on my own after resting for three to five days. I cultivate my physical body, so Mother, you don't have to worry."
Yohime had already torn a piece of cloth from her skirt and carefully wrapped Yang Jian's wound.
Yang Jian's gaze became warmer and warmer. Just as he was about to say something, Yohime gently pressed her forehead against Yang Jian's knee, her shoulders trembling slightly as she wept non-stop.
Yang Jian looked at Yang Xiaochan and the latter hurriedly said, "Mother, we're reunited as a family of three, it should be a happy occasion …"
As she spoke, Yang Xiaochan couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Perhaps Yang Jian couldn't understand the mother-daughter pair's feelings because his body and soul weren't the same person to begin with.
But he didn't continue to persuade her. A large part of Yohime's tears was self-blame, but it was also to express the grievances and pain of being trapped for so many years.
She was a mother and couldn't complain to Yang Jian and Yang Xiaochan, so she could only use this as a means to comfort them.
Half an hour later, Yaoji sighed softly and said, "If your father were still alive, it would be much better if he was just imprisoned. If only he could see you again … "
"Mother, let's talk about this later." Yang Jian was a little sad when he thought of his cheap father.
If a person's soul didn't disperse and could be reincarnated, it was still possible to awaken the memories of their past lives, such as Brother Lü Chunyang.
But when Mohan attacked with hatred, Yang Tianyou's soul had dissipated for nearly five hundred years. Even with the help of a Quasi-Saint, it was impossible to find Yang Tianyou's true spirit.
If one didn't have a soul and only had a true spirit, even if he was lucky enough to be reincarnated, he could only be an unrelated living creature, regardless of the karma of his past life.
"Mother, do you know? Big Brother has already set a marriage contract! "
Yang Xiaochan cleverly changed the topic. Yohime was slightly stunned, but then she just smiled gently and nodded, not asking anything about it.
It wasn't that she wasn't curious, nor was it that she didn't care about Yang Jian's marriage. After all, she was a mother-in-law, and her daughter-in-law had to be filial to her.
In fact, Yohime just felt that she didn't have the right to interfere.
She gave birth to a son but didn't raise him, and gave birth to a daughter but didn't teach her. She was already a failure as a mother, so how could she interfere?
Yang Xiaochan began to tell Yaoji about their life in the past few years. Of course, she avoided the hardships and told some happy things to Yaoji.
In fact, most of what Yang Xiaochan said had already been told by Yang Jian, but Yohime listened very seriously, with a gentle smile on her lips …
Yang Jian sat at the side, taking some elixirs and spirit spring water and stuffing them into his mouth.
When Taibai Jinxing returned, the first thing he saw was the happy scene of the family of three.
"I'm really sorry to disturb you," Venus Taibai said with a smile and took out a decree from his sleeve.
Yang Jian thought for a while and stood up to welcome him. He cupped his fists at the decree in Venus Taibai's hand.
That was already the limit he could do. At that moment, the anger in his heart had yet to dissipate. It was really difficult for him to bow to the Jade Emperor's decree.
Venus Taibai coughed. Yang Xiaochan and Yohime did not kneel down. They only listened quietly.
"Fine, it's not a big deal for your family to be lacking in etiquette," Taibai Jinxing sighed faintly and slowly opened the decree. Although there were only four of them present, they still read it out in an orderly manner.
That was a decree of reward. The Jade Emperor had decreed that Yang Jian would be conferred the title of Erlang Xiansheng of the Celestial Court. He would be given the position of Marshal of the Celestial Court and be stationed in Mount Mei.
The daughter of the White Lotus Princess, Yang Xiaochan, would be conferred the title of the Third Holy Princess of the Celestial Court. She would be given the fief of Mount Hua and build a temple to enjoy incense offerings.
Although the White Lotus Princess, Yohime, could be spared from her crime, she would be stripped of her title as a princess and would not be allowed to enter the Celestial Court …
"Why can't my mother enter the Celestial Court?" Yang Xiaochan flew into a rage on the spot. She looked at Venus Taibai and gritted her teeth. "Let my mother go back to her parents' home. We don't care! Mother, let's go. We won't stoop to their level! "
Venus Taibai's face was full of smiles, but she didn't dare to reason with the two women.
Yang Jian secretly frowned and looked at Yang Xiaochan.
What was going on?
Little Chan 'er wasn't strong at the moment, and she didn't have the Lotus Lamp with her. Why did the Jade Emperor still notice her?
Was this fate that couldn't be avoided? If Little Chan 'er was conferred to Mount Hua, wouldn't that mean …
It seemed that he still had to start with Liu.
Yes, before his power was established, he couldn't let Yang Xiaochan leave his mother's side.
When his power was established, he would casually send two experts to follow behind Yang Xiaochan or protect her in secret. As long as he met any scholar with the surname Liu who spoke half a word to Yang Xiaochan, he would first castrate them before reporting.
That was how domineering it was!
If they castrated the wrong person, he could just ask someone to take them back.
Yang Jian looked at Yang Xiaochan and realized that Little Chan 'er had become more and more slender and elegant recently. The flower bud had also begun to extend its petals.
"Ahem." Venus Taibai smiled and said, "Accept the decree, Perfected Lord Erlang."
Yang Jian was still a little hesitant.
Laozi made him the Dao Sect's Perfected Lord and gave him the title of "Qingyuan Dao". However, the Jade Emperor made him the Marshal of the Celestial Court and gave him the title of "Perfected Lord Erlang Xiansheng".
Which one should he use?
His previous considerations were indeed right. After he split the mountain to save his mother, he would definitely be caught in the conflict between the Dao Sect and the Jade Emperor …
Forget it. In the end, I still have to do this.
Yang Jian said, "Lord Taibai Jinxing, do you have a brush and ink?"
"Brush and ink? Of course. "
"Lend it to me." Yang Jian extended his hand.
Venus Taibai muttered. Is this the gesture of borrowing something? He reached out and took it. This is unbelievable!
Indeed, Venus Taibai took out his immortal inkstone and divine brush. Yang Jian dipped the tip of the brush in ink and spread out the decree. He splashed ink on the blank area below and wrote five words.
Listen to the command but not the decree!
Venus Taibai's legs almost cramped …
When he went to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to receive the decree just now, although he knew that the Jade Emperor would definitely deliberately pretend to be angry and had no choice but to swallow his anger, Venus Taibai could indeed sense that the Jade Emperor was suppressing his anger.
It was fine if Yang Jian did not bow when he received the decree. However, Yang Jian was already considered a general of the Celestial Court. However, he wrote those words.
Listen to the command but not the decree!
The meaning was obvious. Yang Jian listened to the orders of the Celestial Court, but he did not listen to the orders of the Jade Emperor!
He would only lead the troops outside and would never return to the Celestial Court. He would also not go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to bow to the Jade Emperor.
"Perfected Lord Erlang, please be careful!"
"Senior, please understand." Yang Jian casually put away the divine brush and inkstone. He smiled bitterly and cupped his hands at Venus Taibai.
He looked at his mother and sister, and the two of them nodded at Yang Jian.
Even if they had to face the wrath of the Jade Emperor if they went out, they wanted the family of three to not be separated.
Yang Jian endured the pain in his calf and walked away with Yohime and Yang Xiaochan. He did not say anything else.
It was none other than …
Erlang had split the Peach Mountain with all his might. How could the Qingyuan Dao be ordinary?
The Celestial Court had conferred him the title of Marshal. From then on, he listened to the command but not the decree.
Venus Taibai was stunned for a long time. In the end, he shook his head and sighed. He complained, "Why do I have to take on such a tough job? It's tough, it's tough. How should I explain to the Jade Emperor? Ah, something's wrong! "
Suddenly thinking of something, Venus Taibai raised his Daoist robe and bowed. He ran to the front of the hall, but he could not see Yang Jian.
"My Phoenix Blood Inkstone and Divine Brush! Yang Jian! How can you be so shameless! "
At the Central Heavenly Gate, Yang Jian could not help but laugh. He played with the divine brush in his hand and flew out of the Heavenly Gate happily. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the gate did not even dare to question him, let alone stop him.
"Brother Yang!"
Just as he walked out of the Central Heavenly Gate, a shout came from the side. It was Ao Ji who had been waiting there for a long time.
Yang Xiaochan immediately whispered something into Yohime's ear. Yohime only nodded gently and smiled at Ao Ji.
Ao Ji was stunned on the spot. After a while, he realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly said, "My mother wants to invite Brother Yang's family to stay in the East Sea temporarily. It won't be too late to settle you there after Brother Yang has pacified Mei Mountain."
"Thank you for your kindness, Dragon Mother." Yang Jian thought for a while and declined. "I've already promised Master to bring Mother over to recuperate. Xinke is in the Dragon Palace. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to stay there for a long time."
"Hmm … alright." Ao Ji did not insist. Instead, he raised his eyebrows at Yang Jian. "Auntie is fine. When do you plan to marry my aunt?"
"This …"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Yang Xiaochan jumped out from the side. "Little dragon, are you being rude? My future sister-in-law is your biological aunt. What should you call my mother? "
"Me! So be it. "Ao Ji swept his sleeves and snorted." Anyway, Brother Yang and I are of the same generation! "
Yang Xiaochan immediately acted coquettishly towards Yohime proudly. Yohime also smiled.
Huh?
Yang Jian seemed to feel two pairs of eyes on him. He turned his head, only to find that there was nothing but a white cloud in front of him.
