Shu Jianyue propped her chin up and looked at it for a while before shaking her head. She then glanced at Bai Shai, who was equally bored, and waved to her.

Upon seeing this, Bai Shai immediately got up and went to her side.

Rong Jin, ever the astute one, took out a chair and placed it below Shu Jianyue, inviting Bai Shai to sit down.

Bai Shai was already standing next to Fan Yin, and while Fan Yin was speaking, everyone was looking at him. Suddenly, Bai Shai got up and walked towards the main seat, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

Fan Yin raised an eyebrow, and seeing that Wu Jie had also looked over but had not answered her question, she raised her voice and asked, "God Emperor, are my words difficult to understand?"

Wujie withdrew his gaze and looked at Fanyin, saying, "Those Spirit-Soothing Fruits are gone, so there's no point in you saying anything more."

"If you don't believe me, I can take out those dried-up God-Soothing Fruits and show them to you."

The reason he was so calm was that when the Fushen Vine withered, he had already thought that this day would come sooner or later, so he had prepared fake dried Fushen Fruits long ago.

That's the only reason I'm asking. Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter, since he can't produce it anyway.

Upon hearing Wujie's words, both Chongjiu and Fanyin realized that he had a backup plan.

Even if the reason is invalid, unless you have evidence, you can still have whatever he says.

Fan Yin narrowed her eyes. "Alright, let's see how dried it is."

“The Fushen Fruit is unlike any other; you can tell at a glance whether it’s real or fake.”

Wujie choked. Although he appeared confident, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. "Let's have the welcoming banquet first. Today's protagonist isn't me."

Fan Yin rolled her eyes. If she had realized this earlier, none of this would have happened.

At this moment, Bai Jue walked in, bowed to Chong Jiu, and said, "Your Majesty, Jue Heng has arrived."

Chong Jiu glanced at Wu Jie and said indifferently, "Let him in."

Shu Jianyue, who was talking to Bai Shai, stopped and looked towards the entrance of the main hall.

Bai Shai also looked over. She had recently learned some things about the Jiuze Temple, which Fan Yin had told her selectively. Naturally, she knew that Ban Heng was a traitor.

She just couldn't understand why following the son of the Supreme God Jiuze was worse than following Wujie.

Only someone with a brain worm would choose to betray God Jiuze and go with that idiot Wujie who always thinks he's so clever.

Ban Heng walked in from the entrance of the main hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone in the main hall knows that he is now working for Wujie. He used to hide it very well, and no one knew about it. It was only in recent years that traces of him have gradually emerged.

The God of Jiuze has been out of seclusion for so long, but he has finally appeared.

After watching Ban Heng for a while, everyone turned their attention to Chong Jiu, wondering how he would handle the situation.

After all, the relationship between God Venerable Jiuze and God Emperor is not very good right now.

Ban Heng walked into the hall, bowed to Chong Jiu, and said, "Ban Heng greets the Divine Lord."

"Well, let's talk about it after the banquet." Chong Jiu didn't deal with him right away.

For him, this was a private matter and there was no need to do it in public.

Even if Ban Heng says something now, Wu Jie has every reason to say that he is trying to frame him. Ban Heng is a witness, but not a good one.

The right time will come when the two people who let Wujie take away the right banner are found.

Ban Heng nodded and walked over to stand beside Hong Lang.

Hong Lang glanced at him and moved to the side. He didn't want to get too close to this traitor, for fear of being tainted by his bad luck.

Ban Heng's lowered eyes darkened.

Shu Jianyue glanced at Chong Jiu. Was she just going to let him go like that?

Chong Jiu squeezed her palm. "Don't worry, I won't let him get away with it."

I know he kidnapped you before, and considering what he's done, how could I possibly let him go?

Wujie looked at Chongjiu in surprise, wondering, "They actually let him go so easily?"

After thinking for a moment, he sent a telepathic message to Ban Heng, asking him if he had any information about Duan Lanqiu. In the end, Duan Lanqiu was still the most useful; he would do whatever he was told.

He always does a great job with whatever I ask him to do, and he's someone I promoted myself, so I trust him.

Unlike Ban Heng, no matter how well he does, he still doesn't trust him.

Even though she had leverage over him, she was still afraid he would fight to the death.

Ban Heng stood there with his head down, neither answering Wujie's telepathic message nor paying attention to the gazes around him.

Seeing this, Bai Shai asked in a low voice, "Is God Venerable Jiu Ze just going to let him go like that?"

Shu Jianyue shook her head, "I don't know, we should wait until after the welcoming banquet to talk about it."

Noticing the gaze coming from the right, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are those two people? They've been watching this way."

Bai Shai looked over and saw that it was Wu Shang and Xiao Miaoyin. He curled his lip and said, "A delicate and pretentious scheming woman and a big-breasted but brainless idiot. Madam doesn't need to pay attention to them. It's an eyesore to look at them too much."

Shu Jianyue laughed, "If you don't like it, just ignore it. There's no need to get angry."

Bai Shai nodded. "That's what I think too. There's no need to get angry over irrelevant people; only a fool would do that."

Seeing that Shu Jianyue had glanced at her, Xiao Miaoyin bit her lip, afraid that Baisha would speak ill of her in front of Madam Jiuze.

Wu Shang frowned deeply, wondering how Bai Shai could know the newly arrived Lady Jiu Ze, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

Although Wu Shang was not clever, she was not stupid either. Fearing that she had gotten herself into trouble, she immediately told her father what had just happened.

The deity sitting to her left glanced at Bai Shai and Shu Jianyue and whispered, "Father will apologize after the cleansing banquet. Just don't go near them anymore."

"If you encounter it, it's best to avoid it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shang immediately pouted, making it seem as if she was afraid of getting sunburned.

"Listen to me. Although Bai Shai is a divine beast, her status is higher than yours. It won't hurt you to give way to her."

Xiao Miaoyin's eyes darkened as she listened to the conversation between the father and daughter beside her.

Bai Shai is a divine beast, and its birth and status are no lower than theirs. Its hostility towards her is only because it can't stand that she became the wife of a god after being contracted with a divine beast.

As the welcoming banquet was drawing to a close, a group of celestial servants entered, each carrying a box of spiritual fruit, and placed a box on each person's table.

The group opened the box and looked at the ordinary spiritual fruits inside, exchanging bewildered glances.

Upon seeing this, Bai Shai immediately returned to his seat, grabbed one, and started eating.

She knew the benefits of these spiritual fruits; she had eaten plenty of them back in Shenzhou.

Seeing that she was enjoying her food, Fan Yin also took one and started eating.

Only after tasting it did I realize that this spiritual fruit, though it looked ordinary, was actually quite extraordinary.

He immediately lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions in his gaze, and turned to look at the small soundproof array under the white cloth, asking, "Have you eaten this spiritual fruit before?"

Bai Shai nodded, "When we were in Shenzhou, Madam gave me a lot to eat."

Fan Yin looked up at Shu Jianyue, then pushed the gift box in front of Bai Shai.
