Chapter 176: Mutual Support Nine-headed Insect said that...

After the Nine-Headed Insect said that, all the heavenly generals and jade maidens serving in the palace retreated. Except for Fu Li and her family of three, no one in the entire Heavenly Palace knew what they discussed afterwards.

However, when the Nine-Headed Insect left, his face was full of smiles, and the Emperor's family even came out to see him off. Anyone with a clue could guess that the two sides must have had a pleasant conversation and reached some kind of agreement.

Wukong felt that he had helped his parents and was so excited that he danced with joy. However, he did not realize that excessive joy can also lead to sorrow.

For the next two weeks, the young prince Wukong's schoolwork increased dramatically, leaving him too busy to venture out of Chonghua Palace. Fu Li and Nezha locked themselves away in the Purple Palace for the entire fortnight, and no one knew what they were doing.

On the sixteenth day, the gates of the Purple Palace finally reopened. Fu Li hadn't even finished dealing with her backlog of government affairs when Little Wukong walked in, his face full of resentment. He said aggrievedly, "Mother, could you please talk to Master and stop giving me so much homework?"

Do you know how he spent the past half month?

Because the first day of class was so easy, he thought that this was what studying was like, and his expectations were too high.

But the pressure suddenly increased the next day, catching him off guard and causing great harm to his young mind.

Fu Li felt a little guilty, her eyes dodging for a moment, then she acted as if nothing had happened and gently agreed, "Don't worry, Wukong. I'll send someone to talk to your master right away. Can you give me a day off tomorrow?"

"Really?" Wukong's eyes lit up and he looked at her with a twinkling look of innocence and admiration.

Fu Li coughed and said seriously, "Of course it's true. When has Mu ever lied to you?"

Wukong immediately shook his head like a wave drum, his little face full of trust: "My mother has never lied to me!"

In front of him, Fu Li ordered the steward Jade Girl: "You go to Chonghua Palace and tell Master Puti that teaching disciples must be done in a relaxed and tense manner. Forcing things to grow too fast is not advisable." As he spoke, he winked at the steward Jade Girl.

The maiden nodded slightly to show her understanding, and said righteously, "Yes. I will go and convey the Emperor's teachings to the Immortal."

Wukong watched her leave with a happy face. He could never have imagined that the butler Jade Girl who carried his high hopes on her back just took a casual walk and came back after leaving.

— Are you kidding? What's there to say? The reason the little prince has been burdened with heavy schoolwork for two weeks straight is because of their Emperor.

True Man Bodhi was just cooperating, and now he has been blamed. It would be inappropriate for him to be lectured again.

Besides, although True Man Bodhi is only the corpse of True Man Jade Ding and not the real person, the Emperor has to call him Uncle Master according to seniority.

Although there is a difference between the emperor and his subjects, educating children is a private matter. Can the emperor go against Tiangang and scold his own uncle because of a private matter?

When the deacon Jade Girl returned, the mother and son were already sitting together affectionately. Fu Li picked out some simple memorials and taught Wukong how to read them while explaining what had happened and how to deal with them properly.

Perhaps it was God's will. After becoming a disciple of Master Bodhi, Wukong's aversion to learning was cured all of a sudden.

He is the clever stone monkey with a very clear mind. As long as he is willing to learn, he can master anything quickly and apply it to other situations.

Fu Li felt a sense of accomplishment in teaching. Wukong liked being with her mother and was very enthusiastic in learning. The mother and son didn't even notice that she had come back.

So, the maiden did not make any noise, but quietly returned to her original position to wait for instructions, hoping that the little prince would learn so much that he would forget about the matter.

Wukong hadn't forgotten, for he had a good memory. But Nezha had returned at the perfect time, and seeing that Fuli's affairs hadn't been dealt with yet, he took Wukong to the square to play with weapons.

Early this morning, the couple finally managed to crawl out of the back hall, not daring to stay together any longer. Fu Li went to deal with the pressing government affairs, while Nezha went to the Shangjiutian training ground.

Over in Northern Julu Continent, the Nine-Headed Insect openly volunteered to act as an insider, while Ji Meng secretly contacted old acquaintances and developed insiders. If all went well, the Celestial Realm would launch a war within the next three to five hundred years.

As the Marshal of the Central Altar, Nezha is the perfect choice to lead the troops on behalf of Fuli.

Today's heavenly soldiers are all soldiers who died on the battlefields of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. After death, their souls were uniformly bathed in the heavenly rebirth pool, and their bodies were reshaped, but a bit of their true spirit was drawn to the list of gods.

When these heavenly soldiers were alive, they were divided into two camps, and they only understood the military formations of mortals. As for the various formations used by immortals in conjunction with the formation diagrams, they knew nothing about them!

After Fu Li entered the Heavenly Palace, Tongtian Patriarch gave her the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, as well as the formation diagrams of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Nine Palaces Formation, the Eight Diagrams Formation, the Five Elements Formation, the Four Symbols Formation, the Three Talents Formation, the Liangyi Formation, and the Hunyuan Yiqi Formation.

Tongtian Patriarch always doted on her, giving her good things whenever he could. Worried that she wouldn't have enough manpower to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he also gave her an extra token, which allowed her to summon Jiejiao disciples to join the formation at any time.

With such excellent resources, if Fu Li cannot integrate the heavenly soldiers into combat power, he will probably not be able to hold his head up in the sect in the future.

What Nezha is doing now is to train the reaction ability of the heavenly soldiers so that they can understand the battle formation flags and obey orders.

Once the heavenly soldiers can achieve this step, they will be qualified to access the formation diagram and gradually unlock more advanced formations.

By that time, Fu Li was in charge of government, Nezha was in charge of the army, and the couple supported each other. In the entire prehistoric world, except for the six saints, who would dare to look up at them?

=====

Yang Jian is here.

Zhao Gongming and Luo Xuan also went to heaven with him.

Zhao Gongming was simply missing his apprentice. His conscienceless eldest apprentice was devoted to his career and was never home all day.

The younger disciple is a loyal supporter of the older disciple. Together with his grand-disciple Jiang Ziya, one plays the Southern Dipper Star God and the other plays the Northern Dipper Star God. They contribute to Fuli's career and are very happy.

Poor Zhao Gongming, he founded a sect in Emei, and he had disciples and grand disciples, but in the end he ended up as an empty-nest old man. It is really sad to hear about it and makes people cry when they see it.

He came in a threatening manner, and after meeting his disciple, he didn't even wait for him to greet him. He just raised his chin and snorted, then found a chair and sat down without even looking him in the eye.

Fu Li glanced at Luo Xuan secretly, and Luo Xuan mouthed a message to her. Fu Li understood, and with a smile, she went forward to massage her teacher's shoulders and back, her face full of flattery, but she didn't say a word to plead for herself.

Nezha winked at the steward Jade Girl, then moved over and half-knelt in front of Zhao Gongming to massage his legs. His strength was just right, and I wonder who he practiced it on?

The couple didn't say anything, but just kept showing their affection, which made Zhao Gongming very confused.

Only one percent of his anger was genuine; the remaining nine percent was forced. He knew his apprentice was busy and didn't mean to avoid him.

Moreover, despite his busy schedule, the apprentice would send him messages whenever he had free time to ask about his well-being, and sometimes even video chat. If he didn't think about him all the time, how could he have the time to do so many meticulous things?

But texting is cold, cold words after all, and video chatting isn't really a meeting. He was really anxious, and knowing his apprentice was busy, he simply found an excuse and showed himself up.

Originally, he thought that his disciple would just say a few nice words and he would just take advantage of the situation.

But he didn't know that his disciple was so sincere. He only showed his filial piety through actions and never said a word of sophistry.

He glared at Nezha fiercely: "You little brat, aren't you usually good at talking? Why are you dumb now? Speak up! My hands are so tired!"

Nezha blinked innocently, looking at Fu Li with a bit of grievance and confusion.

Fu Li's mouth twitched: "Brother, please don't call me sister. From now on, I'll call you brother, okay? Now, let's not make tea, okay? No matter how fragrant your tea is, I dare not get angry in front of the teacher!"

Seeing that she rolled her eyes and stopped looking at him, Nezha lowered his eyes and smiled, and asked shyly: "Teacher, what do you think of this strength?"

"Don't." Zhao Gongming rolled his eyes at him. "I can't bear the title of teacher from Marshal Zhongtan."

"You must be joking. I am your direct disciple, and I... am your person, so of course I am also your disciple. I bear the entire heavenly realm on my shoulders, and there are some things I can't do both. It's because I didn't fulfill my duty to remind you that you and your disciple haven't met for so long."

In a few words, he took all the responsibility on himself.

Zhao Gongming immediately backed down and distressedly asked Fu Li to stop rubbing him, muttering, "What a fool you are! How busy you are! How could your master not know? I came to the Heavenly Palace just to see you and see if there was anything I could do to help you."

Fu Li said coquettishly, "I knew that the teacher loves me the most!"

"Good boy, if your master doesn't love you, who else will he love?" Zhao Gongming had obviously thought about it beforehand, and changed the subject, saying, "Your master heard that Hua Jing Yuanjun brought several immortals from Yingzhou Island to become the God of Food in Heaven.

Didn't you confer the title of God of Wealth upon me years ago? Is the position of God of Wealth still vacant in Heaven? If it is, I will bring Zhao Bao, Na Zhen, and the others up with me."

Firstly, he can help his apprentice, and secondly, both the master and the apprentice are in heaven and can see each other often. It is simply the best of both worlds.

Zhao Gongming was proud: I am such a genius!

Fu Li was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile, "The position of God of Wealth has long been ours, Master. How could I give it to someone else? If you are not interested, the auxiliary gods will help you. If you are interested, the God of Wealth Palace is always waiting for you."

Zhao Gongming immediately made the decision: "Okay, I'll go back today and hand over the Emei area, and bring my people to take up the position tomorrow."

After saying this, he walked away in his usual impetuous manner.

Seeing that Luo Xuan didn't follow, Fu Li asked doubtfully, "Uncle Luo Xuan, Junior Brother Yang, could it be that you two are in the same group?"

The two looked at each other, and Yang Jian smiled: "Uncle Master, please speak first."

Luo Xuan said, "My matter is more complicated, Junior-Martial Brother Yang, you should speak first."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian did not insist. He straightened his expression and bowed, "Senior Sister, I came to the Heavenly Court to ask for a job."

"Ah?" Fu Li was surprised.

—Speaking of which, shouldn't you obey orders and disobey decrees? Shouldn't you be enjoying yourself at Guanjiangkou? Shouldn't you... By the way, you and the Third Princess of the West Sea don't know each other yet, so there's no talk of marriage.

But no matter what, taking the initiative to go to the Heavenly Palace to ask for a job is not like Erlang Zhenjun's style.
