Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
Fang Jian led Hei Haier, Chen Jiantang, and Ying Kaixuan in front, and the twelve demon gods and their demon fairies followed behind. They all entered the center of the Haori Palace together and paid homage to the two demon queens sitting at the top.
Xihe, clad in a phoenix robe with a thousand-star flying phoenix ornament on her head, exuded grace and elegance. She sat on the throne and extended her hand to support it, saying, "Lord Hongqing, please stand up. Immortal nobles, please stand up."
"Thank you, Holy Mother." Everyone bowed and thanked her, then stood up straight.
At this time, beside Xihe, the Demon Queen Chang Yi, dressed in a robe of pure white light, adorned with a thousand-red pearl necklace and a shimmering jade necklace, looked at Fang Jian and asked, "Master Hongqing has come to my Qingxiao Treasure Realm. What is the important matter?"
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have come here for a small matter."
Chang Yi pointed at Ying Kaixuan behind Fang Jian and said, "I know this woman too. She's the leader of the Yuying tribe. She led her people to escape the clutches of the devil and return to the Heavenly Court. She's a real heroine. Are you here for her?"
"Indeed," Fang Jian said, "During the apocalypse, when countless people were turning to the devil, Ying Kaixuan resolutely led his people to escape the devil's lair and return to the Heavenly Court. This is a very exemplary act in the lower realm. Today, I heard from the Heavenly General Chen Jiantang that Ying Kaixuan encountered some difficulties when trying to find his ancestral home. Of course, I must intervene."
Chang Yi nodded and said, "Hongqing Zhenjun is the God of Justice. He is in charge of the laws of heaven under the command of the Jade Emperor. He has the authority to supervise everything."
At this point, Xihe suddenly spoke up, "Master Hongqing, it is your duty and authority to investigate the matter of Ying Kaixuan and the Yuying clan. However, I have only one question, and Master Hongqing, please answer it."
Fang Jian was startled when he heard this. He thought to himself, "This is so serious. Could it be that Xihe wants to stop me?" So he said, "Please ask the Holy Mother."
Xihe asked, "I want to ask you, when will my son Tangyu come back?"
"..." Fang Jian was stunned for a moment. After a while, he finally reacted and quickly replied, "Saint Mother Yuanjun, according to the time calculation, Tang Yu should be able to return in another five years."
It has been mentioned before that Tangyu is the son of Emperor Jun and Chang Yi, but Xihe also treats him as her own son. This is the real "I have two mothers" for Tangyu, and both of them love him very much.
After receiving Fang Jian's answer, Xihe raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Fang Jian and said, "Really? That's great, but I have to say this first: if Yu'er doesn't come back within five years, I will ask you for her."
Fang Jian smiled helplessly upon hearing this, then bowed and said, "Yes."
At this time, Chang Yi said: "Fang Jian, the Emperor Shenwu is not in the Qingxiao Treasure Realm, and Minister Kunpeng is not in the realm either.
We are just women, and managing the Qingxiao Treasure Realm is already a lot of work. We can't take care of the Yuying Clan and Ying Kaixuan either. Master Hongqing, please handle it yourself."
This is not just a polite remark. The Twelve Demon Gods are the demon immortals second only to Kunpeng in the demon clan. Their authority is to assist Emperor Jun in ruling the demon clan.
Therefore, Xihe and Changyi usually don't ask about their affairs or interfere much. All decisions are made by the twelve demon gods themselves, and they are not interested in taking care of so many mundane matters.
Besides, Fang Jian had arrived. Aside from the two of them, Fang Jian held the highest official rank and the greatest authority in the entire Qingxiao Treasure Realm. Furthermore, Fang Jian not only held the Jade Emperor's Dao Calendar, but also the authority to monitor all gods, demons, Taoists, and Buddhas below the Five Emperors. Even if they wanted to interfere, Fang Jian wouldn't agree.
Chang Yi, who had witnessed Fang Jian's temper in Xitian Mansion a long time ago, knew this best, so she simply ignored everything and left it to Fang Jian to handle.
Then the two sisters Xihe and Changyi directly announced that they would ask the twelve demon gods to entertain Fang Jian well, while they left the Haori Palace and boarded the jade chariot to return to their own immortal palace.
After Xihe and Changyi left, Yingzhao immediately proposed to hold a banquet to welcome Fang Jian.
But Fang Jian refused. He looked at the Twelve Demon Gods and said, "There's no need for a welcome dinner. I'm here only to deal with the matter between the Yuying Clan and Ying Kaixuan. Fellow Daoist Ying Zhao, do you think we should discuss this here or somewhere else?"
Ying Zhao was startled when he heard this, and turned around to exchange a glance with the other eleven demon gods. The Shangyang demon god said, "Since True Lord Hongqing has said so, why don't we go directly to Ying Zhao's Divine Palace to discuss this matter?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon God Yingzhao immediately nodded and said, "Okay! Let's discuss this matter in my Divine Palace."
