A cup of tea and a reprimand seemed like Randeng was a little petty. However, in the Primordial World, which was rather thick-skinned, that could indeed become an excuse to cause trouble.
It was a very reasonable excuse.
However, just as Randeng said that he was deliberately targeting him, a green light flashed with electric arcs. Today's main character, the Water God of the Celestial Court, Li Changgeng, who was about to advance to the second-stage righteous god Taibai Jinxing, appeared in front of Randeng.
Without saying anything, he protected Long Ji behind him and mocked her. He forcefully started a fight.
At that moment, most of the immortals outside the hall felt that the authoritative god of the Celestial Court was a little overbearing. He did not save face for the Deputy Hierarch of Chan School.
Of course, most immortals thought that Li Changgeng of the Celestial Court and Daoist Randeng were enemies. Their personal grudges were so deep that they tore apart on the spot.
Two words: Arrogant!
A few immortals pondered carefully and realized that this matter was not that simple.
Putting aside her identity as the princess of the Celestial Court, the beautiful female immortal behind the Water God was at the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. She was not far from the Gold God realm. Her Dao realm was solid and her aura was peaceful. How could she not be able to hold a cup of tea steadily?
At that moment, according to the different understanding of the situation and Daoist Randeng, the depth of consideration could be divided into three, four, and five levels.
Considering the people on the third level, he felt that Randeng wanted to take the Water God and the Celestial Court down a notch because of his personal grudge.
Considering the people on the fourth level, he felt that it might be someone else's scheme to make the relationship between Chan School and the Celestial Court worsen.
There were very few immortals on the fifth level who could consider it. They were all the eldest disciples of Jie School and a few experts of Chan School who knew that Randeng had already sat crooked. They felt that Randeng was deliberately giving the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court a hard time and taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Li Changshou was different …
He saw the third level.
Putting aside the appearance and looking at the essence, there was a very troublesome core problem …
Where should the biological daughter of the current Celestial Emperor occupy in the Heavenly Dao sequence?
Long Ji did not have a Deity Position. In the Celestial Court, she was only an Itinerant Immortal.
The Jade Emperor was different from the emperors of the human world. There was no reason for his son to become the next Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Emperor was a Dao Ancestor, or rather, appointed by the Heavenly Dao.
Under such circumstances, Long Ji was in an awkward situation.
During Long Ji's original calamity, she had been banished to the mortal world because she had lost her etiquette at the Immortal Peach Banquet.
Then, she was schemed against by the Talisman Essence Immortal Father, who was now gone. She was forcefully betrothed to Hong Jin, who had been defeated by him. In the subsequent battle, both she and Hong Jin died, and a wisp of her Essence Soul was placed on the Conferred God List.
In the beginning, he was free and unfettered, returning to the Celestial Rankings to become a god.
When Li Changshou first schemed against Long Ji's story, he had two guesses.
Firstly, the Jade Emperor had done it on purpose. He had used Long Ji's sacrifice to show that he was in charge of the Three Realms on behalf of the Heavenly Dao and was impartial. He had used that to establish his dignity and consolidate his position in the Celestial Court's divine power system that had expanded rapidly after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
Secondly, Long Ji had actually been schemed against. Someone had used that to smear the Jade Emperor's reputation.
However, after Li Changshou went to the Celestial Court …
As his understanding of the Jade Emperor deepened, he rejected the former. He was very sure that someone had deliberately made things difficult for Long Ji and used that to make things difficult for the Jade Emperor.
Now that the Immortal Father Fu Yuan was dead, Li Changshou thought that Long Ji's story had changed. He did not expect Randeng to jump out again …
It was really impossible to guard against.
Li Changshou had been deducing with all his might on the way there. He had analyzed three different "plot development routes" and quickly figured out the key.
If he had used a relatively gentle method to deal with it, Randeng might have temporarily shut up. However, the cup of tea that had been spilled on his body would become an excuse for Randeng to cause trouble later.
In fact, as long as one or two immortals said a few words later, Randeng would be able to attack with a heavy punch.
If Daoist Randeng was determined to cause trouble today, he would definitely use the position of the princess of the Celestial Court in the Celestial Court to further question whether the Celestial Court adhered to the concept of fairness of the Heavenly Dao.
It was all a trap.
If the Jade Emperor had fallen into such a trap, he might have punished Long Ji severely. Then, he would have gone crazy.
Therefore, Li Changshou stood in front of Randeng.
With a few simple words, he classified Long Ji as his disciple and the grand-disciple of the Taiqing Dao. He stripped Long Ji of the Celestial Court system.
What's wrong with my disciple walking around the Celestial Court and helping me deal with the matters of the Celestial Court?
Blocking the excuse of Randeng's subsequent attacks was only one of them.
Li Changshou took the opportunity to help Deputy Hierarch Randeng publicize. He explained that he hated Randeng because Randeng had provoked the relationship between the Chan School and Jie School to protect the face of Chan School. That was the second reason.
Apart from that, Li Changshou had deeper considerations.
"The Jade Emperor's personality."
Li Changshou had actually been observing the Jade Emperor and understanding the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor was the living being closest to the Heavenly Dao. As a result, he had gained many insights.
Ever since the Jade Emperor jumped from the East Ocean Eye, Li Changshou had begun to worry if the Jade Emperor's personality would be affected by the Heavenly Dao and gradually change.
Today, the Jade Emperor was dressed in white. He had a sense of responsibility as the Heavenly Emperor. He had the grand desire to establish a fair order in the Three Realms, protect the weak, and restrict the strong.
Li Changshou was actually a little resistant. He resisted the Jade Emperor changing into a divine robe. His eyes lost their smile and he became numb. He only followed the heavenly rules and gradually became indifferent to living beings …
From that perspective, Li Changshou could not let Long Ji fall into a trap.
Before Randeng took the opportunity to show off, he flipped the table and protected Long Ji. That was the safest way.
It was not that he looked down on the ancient Buddha, Randeng, or that he had given up on his usual principles.
Stability was engraved in his bones. He had to persist for ten thousand years without wavering!
There were pros and cons to everything. It was difficult to be perfect.
There were drawbacks to Li Changshou's way of dealing with it.
After all, it was a last-minute strategy. It was reasonable for there to be flaws.
What were the drawbacks?
At that moment, Li Changshou had bullied Daoist Randeng in front of everyone.
Randeng had only asked a question just now and did not attack Long Ji. It was very easy for him to use the opportunity to clear his name and increase his prestige.
Thoughts raced through his mind. Li Changshou observed Randeng's reaction. Long Ji, who was behind him, could not recover from her shock.
After being slapped in the face in front of everyone, Randeng's expression could not help but turn cold.
However, Randeng's shrewdness was undoubtedly revealed. Just as Li Changshou had expected … he began to act pitiful.
Daoist Randeng let out a long sigh and said slowly,
"I never expected the Water God to have such a deep prejudice against I.
I was recognized by the Lord Sage of the Jade Pure One and was added as the Deputy Hierarch of Chan School. My goal was naturally for the prosperity of Chan School. I did not deliberately target the Water God or Jie School.
The teachings of Chan School and Jie School were different. There had been conflicts since ancient times. That was not provoked by I.
Perhaps the Water God is too close to Jie School because of his personal feelings and is biased against him. "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He had underestimated this fellow's shamelessness.
At that moment, he had to avoid the trap in the other party's words.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. Could it be that Deputy Hierarch Randeng is here today to deliberately go against me?
I know that Deputy Hierarch Randeng has always had some opinions about me. However, today, the Jade Emperor has specially allowed him to invite so many famous scholars of the Primordial World to witness my advancement to the Divine level.
Deputy Hierarch Randeng has deliberately come to cause trouble. I'm afraid he doesn't care about the Celestial Court and Ren School.
If that's the case, I really have to go and see Second Uncle-Master and complain. "
Randeng's eyes focused and he said calmly,
"Today, I am here to congratulate the Water God on his advancement. I won't say anything else.
There will be a time to resolve the misunderstanding between us in the future.
Perhaps I am not a disciple of the Dao Sect and have not cultivated the Great Dao of the Saint. I do not belong to the Dao Sect. However, the Hierarch once did I a great favor in the ancient times. I am just wholeheartedly scheming for Chan School. "
If he did not know about the "ancient Buddha", Li Changshou felt that he might really believe it.
Unfortunately, most of the surrounding immortals looked at Randeng with admiration and respect.
That was the price of protecting Long Ji.
Li Changshou waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and said, "I hope that Deputy Hierarch Randeng will keep his words." Then, he walked to the side with Long Ji.
At that moment, Long Ji vaguely understood the crux of the matter. She, who had just completed "growing up in seclusion", looked at Li Changshou's back with gratitude in her eyes.
While Li Changshou was greeting the experts of Chan School and Jie School, Long Ji raised her hand and hit her forehead. She cursed herself for being useless.
At that moment, Li Changshou's voice transmission entered Long Ji's ears.
"No matter who asks later, just say that your hand slipped. You can only tell the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother about the exact situation. If I'm not wrong, you should have been in a daze just now.
Go and prepare another cup of tea. Today, I have already acknowledged you as my disciple. I will bring you into Ren School here.
Don't think too much about anything else. I'll protect you. "
Long Ji was stunned. Her face flushed with excitement. She bowed to Li Changshou and left in a hurry with her head lowered.
At that moment, Li Changshou had successfully become the most beautiful Lao Dao in the venue. After a few greetings and a few Dao salutes, he completely ignored the matter of Randeng.
He and Yun Xiao looked at each other and smiled. They bowed to each other.
Then, he chatted and laughed with the personal disciples of the Saints of Jie School and Chan School. He used his own strength to slightly merge the immortals of Chan School and Jie School.
Li Changshou recalled the various opening speeches, school opening speeches, and wedding emcees that he had heard in his previous life.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for taking the time to attend the ceremony. I, Changgeng, am extremely grateful!
Changgeng was fortunate enough to have today because of his teacher's guidance and the care of his two Uncle-Masters. He could not do without the trust that the Jade Emperor had always given him. He could not do without the help of the senior brothers and sisters of Chan School and Jie School.
Since the establishment of the Celestial Court since ancient times, the Jade Emperor had been concerned about the living beings of the world. He was concerned about the suffering of the immortals and mortals. He upheld the concept of the Heavenly Dao and forgot to eat and sleep. He brought the Celestial Court to the current situation that was about to prosper.
Changgeng is here. I hope that Fellow Daoists and the Celestial Court will prosper together and let the light of the righteous path shine on the Primordial World! "
The echoes in the surroundings were endless, and they were all polite words of flattery.
Then, Li Changshou walked around. He first greeted every personal disciple of the Saint and exchanged pleasantries. Then, he went to find his "own people" from Ren School to chat.
It was not convenient for him to remind Perfected Du 'e, who was tight-lipped. They only greeted each other and addressed each other as Senior Brother.
After Li Changshou turned around and returned to Fairy Yun Xiao's side, he was about to say a few intimate words to Yun Xiao and take the opportunity to ease the awkwardness after being disturbed by a certain "River God".
Perfected Taiyi hugged his arms and walked over. He nudged Li Changshou with his shoulder and smiled. "Why is the Celestial Court so petty? Why didn't they arrange for a banquet?
Do you want to invite Fairy Heng 'e over to dance? "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Are you looking for trouble, bastard!?!
Although he was angry, Li Changshou still tried his best to maintain a smile and said, "I actually don't know the exact arrangements.
"I actually don't know the exact arrangements. It was decided by General Dongmu.
Later, I should invite Senior Brother and Senior Sister to the Jade Pool for a banquet. This place should only be inviting immortals from various sects to attend the ceremony.
It seems that the Jade Emperor has gathered many immortals. "
"I was wondering why I didn't see the Dragons and the people of the Netherworld," Perfected Taiyi muttered and said, "What authority do the second-stage righteous gods have?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "I'm just working for the Heavenly Dao. There's no authority."
Perfected Taiyi blinked and shook his head. "Forget it. I originally wanted to nurture Ling Zhuzi to serve in the Celestial Court. I think he likes the atmosphere of the Celestial Court."
"Why don't I see Ling Zhuzi today?"
"He said that he wanted to prepare a congratulatory gift for you. He went to look for his good brother previously. I should be able to see him later."
Perfected Taiyi pursed his lips and sighed. "My disciple can help outsiders. It's indeed something that I have never thought of before … I can't keep a disciple."
"It's probably related to my character and temperament." Li Changshou blinked and walked to the side with a smile.
Perfected Taiyi chuckled and was not angry. He turned around and went to chat with the immortals of Chan School.
A few immortals of Chan School gathered beside Randeng. After all, this was a public occasion. Even if Chan School was privately divided into two factions and formed factions, they could not show it directly.
The fairies of Jie School were the most dazzling. However, when they gathered together, their auras were too strong, causing the immortals to retreat 100 feet away.
Only Li Changshou could naturally integrate into it. He chatted with Fairy Yun Xiao via voice transmission and resolved the awkwardness.
Yun Xiao reminded, "There are many guests here. Don't stay in one place for too long.
Although reputation is nothing, the immortals who came here today are here to congratulate you. Don't be negligent and make them unhappy. "
"Ah, yes." Li Changshou answered obediently. He held his horsetail whisk and bowed with a Dao salute. "I will follow your instructions, Fairy. I'll continue to walk around."
Yun Xiao's eyes were filled with anger. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao covered their mouths and chuckled.
The actions and expressions of the two sisters were quite similar. They, who had dressed up meticulously, were also beautiful scenery.
Li Changshou turned around and was about to entertain the guests. The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, "Gongming … Zhao Gongming will only be able to come later. He is rushing back from the trichiliocosm."
"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Sister," Li Changshou replied with a smile. He felt a little gossipy in his heart, but he did not betray Grandpa Chao.
After walking around the hall twice, Ao Yi rushed over and reported two things to Li Changshou.
The first thing was the specific process today.
Just as Li Changshou had said, that place was used to announce the decree. Later, after the decree was announced, a banquet would be held there to invite the immortals of all walks of life.
At that time, Li Changshou could invite the experts of the Dao Sect to attend the banquet at the Jade Pool. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother would appear at the banquet. The officials and generals of the Celestial Court, the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas, the Yama Lords of the Netherworld, and the people of the Immortal Alliance were already waiting at the Jade Pool.
Li Changshou thought for a while and sent a voice transmission to Ao Yi. "Don't invite Randeng. Later, unify your statements and say that the Jade Emperor is inviting the disciples of the Saint of the Dao Sect."
"Okay!" Ao Yi immediately agreed.
The second matter was related to Long Ji.
Just now, Long Ji had already rushed back to the Jade Pool. She wanted to change her attire and report to the Queen Mother that she wanted to officially become his disciple. The Queen Mother had sent someone to ask if she could arrange for Long Ji to become his disciple at the banquet.
It was rather glorious.
Li Changshou naturally agreed. However, he was thinking about how Long Ji would enter the calamity in the future.
Putting everything else aside, as the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, if no one schemed against her, she should not have been wronged into marrying a loser just because they were fated.
If no one said that Xing Zhou was the destiny of the heavens and forcefully set the difference between good and evil for Chan School and Jie School, Long Ji might not have died in the conflict between the large sects. A wisp of her essence soul would have entered the God roll.
That matter was quite important.
Li Changshou could clearly sense that there were many undercurrents surging today.
He did not know when Ksitigarbha's congratulatory words had appeared. He did not know if the Western Sect was here to congratulate him or to cause trouble for him.
Rumble —
As he was thinking about that, he suddenly heard thunder outside the hall. He saw auspicious clouds gathering in the sky, and the power of the Heavenly Dao became denser.
A group of honor guards slowly descended from the sky. Two rows of golden-armored Battle Gods led the way. Dong Mu Gong, who was dressed in a luxurious robe, stepped on an auspicious cloud and held a shimmering golden Heavenly Emperor's decree in his left hand.
Finally, it was time for serious business.
…
Just as Dong Mu Gong appeared and descended with the Heavenly Emperor's decree …
In a courtyard in a corner of the Celestial Court, the Jade Emperor's incarnation, Qin Tianzhu, who was closing his eyes and focusing on the Celestial Court's general, suddenly began to tremble.
Due to the fact that the incarnation had been exposed, the Jade Emperor did not use it anymore.
However, he adhered to the principle of "refusing to admit it". The Jade Emperor did not melt the incarnation. Instead, he locked himself in the courtyard and did not come out. Later, he would repair it and change it. He could pull it out and continue to be the fifth incarnation.
At that moment, Qin Tianzhu, who should not have woken up, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shone with golden light and were rather sharp.
"Who is here? How dare you barge into the Celestial Court!?!"
He heard a chuckle. Under a tree in the corner of the courtyard, a faint figure gradually condensed. It was a slightly plump figure, and his robe was patched. However, his face was a little blurry.
The person bowed and smiled. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I took the liberty to come here and hide my whereabouts. I only wanted to meet Your Majesty successfully today …"
At that moment, the Daoist was sighing softly in his heart.
Ksitigarbha has really been suppressed by the Water God too deeply. Why do you have to go through the Water God to negotiate with the Celestial Court?
"Disciple of the Western Sect?" Qin Tianzhu asked coldly.
The Daoist nodded slowly and smiled. "Your Majesty, can you give I half an incense stick … Your Majesty?"
Qin Tianzhu closed his eyes. His body suddenly collapsed and turned into a pile of golden sand that dissipated with the wind.
On the throne in the Jade Pool, the Jade Emperor opened his eyes and pursed his lips slightly. He continued to enjoy the singing and dancing in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
The fellows from the Western Sect were really stupid. They even secretly went to look for the incarnation that he had abandoned.
What if Changgeng misunderstood?
He did not even ask to see him. He was really living in a dream and even came to discuss with him …
He thought that the Hall of Enlightenment was a decoration and that the Deity Positions of the Celestial Court were useless. Did he think that he, the Jade Emperor, was a mountain king?
At the side, the Queen Mother asked gently, "Your Majesty, why are you laughing?"
"It's just a small matter." The Jade Emperor squinted and chuckled.
