Yang Jian and the Great Sage
After Wei Jie revealed Bai Xiaosheng's true name, Ye Zichen was silent for a long time.
It was obvious that his expression wasn't particularly good. His brows were deeply furrowed, but he vaguely sensed that this was only natural.
The Auxiliary Star.
Han Nan, who'd received Ye Zichen in the Outside, was the First Era's Auxiliary Star. The only reason he'd asked Wei Jie to ask for Bai Xiaosheng's name was because he was the Third Era's Auxiliary Star.
Now it seemed ….
Everything was pretty much as he'd expected. At the very least, there weren't many discrepancies.
"Alright, I got it. You can go now."
Ye Zichen waved at Wei Jie. Wei Jie bowed deeply to the door, then took his leave.
Ye Zichen took out a pack of cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and tossed the rest onto the table. A wisp of flame appeared at the tip of his finger and lit the cigarette. The room was filled with the strong smell of smoke.
What a pleasant surprise.
Back in the Outside, Ye Zichen had sensed that something was off.
He'd said he wanted to see the Minister of the Left precisely to confirm his suspicions. Han Nan's refusal had pushed his suspicions to the limit.
If he really wanted to hide it, he should've done it more seriously. Couldn't he have just randomly chosen a fake name?
Why did he have to use his real name? Now that Ye Zichen returned and asked Bai Xiaosheng, the result would be the same.
Or perhaps the people of the First Era wanted him to know all along?
He couldn't figure it out.
No matter what, Ye Zichen wasn't a parasite in the Outsiders' stomachs. He had no way of knowing what they were plotting.
However, he was certain that the Auxiliary Star was most likely the same person as the Third Era's Auxiliary Star.
In other words, their Master of the Stars ….
He couldn't keep thinking about it. After all, their Master of the Stars was dead.
Xiao Yumei tossed the cigarette butt onto the ground and stamped it out.
"You still have these?"
Ye Zichen glanced at her and saw her fiddling with the pack of cigarettes. Ye Zichen smiled and nodded, but didn't explain. She didn't ask either. She simply tossed the pack onto the table.
"Do you really have a way?" She was obviously asking Ye Zichen what he'd asked earlier.
"I can give it a try. Besides, didn't you say it was empty? Since it's empty, we'll just buy it. You might not know this, but we have a backer. "
"The Profound Pavilion? I know."
"You even know this?"
"What do you think I've been doing on the Divine Mountain? I've spent eighty percent of my day looking for news about you."
Xiao Yumei wrinkled her nose angrily, and then she spoke again.
"Who's that boy with you? I think she's a demon, but her eyes are very pure. "
"I ran into her on the road. She's a rather pitiful child, so I brought her over." Ye Zichen still didn't explain too much about An Lu's identity. "If Tiantian was still here, she'd be about that tall too." Xiao Yumei nodded, and her gaze became a little distant.
When Tiantian was mentioned, Ye Zichen couldn't help but think of that cute little girl.
When she saw him, she would run to his side, hug him and call him daddy sweetly.
But who would have thought …
"Who would have thought that this child was actually a god with Godhood? War Goddess, I really didn't expect this, "Ye Zichen sighed.
"Yeah." Xiao Yumei also revealed a bitter expression.
Although she and Tiantian weren't biological mother and daughter, they were definitely closer than biological parents. Once upon a time, they'd been each other's hope.
In the end, they'd still separated.
"You and Chang 'e came here because of Tiantian, right?"
In response to Ye Zichen's question, Xiao Yumei was in low spirits. She simply nodded.
He pulled her into his arms and gently patted her on the back. Xiao Yumei also silently leaned on his shoulder as she muttered while staring ahead.
"Do you think Tiantian's doing well?"
"She should be doing well. No matter what, she's the War Goddess. That title sounds pretty high and mighty.
The two of them hugged and leaned against the window for a long time. In Xiao Yumei's heart, even now, she still saw Tiantian as her woman and cared about her every need.
After a full hour, Wei Jie hurriedly rushed to the door.
"Boss, the Great Sage and Yang Jian started fighting."
…..
The Great Sage hefted his Ruyi Jingu Bang, his Fiery Eyes of Truth flashing fiercely as he stared intently at Yang Jian.
At first, the Great Sage hadn't been in his residence.
The Xiao Family particularly disliked yao. Wei Jie was worried that the Great Sage's appearance would draw their attention, so he arranged for him and the yao servants Ye Zichen had left behind to live outside.
Just now, when Wei Jie went to fetch Xiao Yan's trusted aides, he told the Great Sage about Ye Zichen's return.
When the Great Sage heard this, he rushed back to his residence, but he didn't see Ye Zichen. Instead, he saw Yang Jian flirting with the Xiao Family's girls.
Without even thinking about it, the Great Sage swung his staff at Yang Jian.
Fortunately, Yang Jian's reaction was fast enough. He summoned his Erlang Lance in an instant and blocked the rod. Otherwise, given the strength of the staff, even if he didn't die, he'd be half-crippled.
"I told you, don't let me find you."
The Great Sage wielded the Ruyi Jingu Bang in an awe-inspiring manner. He glared at Yang Jian as if he wanted to devour him whole. His pupils burned with faint flames.
In contrast to the Great Sage's domineering demeanor, Yang Jian's behavior was far more shameless.
Although he'd been ambushed, he was still all smiles.
"How long has it been since we last met? Don't you think brandishing your staff as soon as we meet? Isn't that a little damaging to our brotherhood?"
"Who's your brother?" Said the Great Sage. "I've sent you so many messages, but you've been playing dead without replying."
"Really? Great Sage, you sent me a message?"
Yang Jian feigned suspicion. If anyone else hadn't received a message, they'd definitely take out their phones to prove it. However, he didn't so much as move. Instead, his face was plastered with an infuriating smile.
"Maybe my phone ran out of battery halfway through. Can you not be so angry?"
The Great Sage glared at him.
"What? Do you want to fight me like we did back in the Heavenly Court? I admit, back in the Heavenly Court, I was just a little bit weaker than you, but now …. I can beat you ten times over without breaking a sweat! "Yang Jian smirked haughtily.
"Then let me, Old Sun, experience it …"
The Great Sage swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang in a circle. A gust of wind blew the stone tiles off the ground.
Yang Jian calmly pushed forward, and the tiles fell back to the ground. The Great Sage was just about to attack when a hand gently pressed down on his shoulder.
"Brother, let me go. I have to teach this arrogant brat a lesson."
The Great Sage hefted his staff and tried to walk forward, but Ye Zichen grabbed him by the shoulder to prevent him from acting rashly.
