"It's good that you're alright!" Fang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, then paused for a moment, "You know that dog Hengyan... the Emperor?"
"I know him," You You nodded. "I've known Hengyan for several years now, so we're... friends!"
The immortals: "..." Very well, there's one more dog than the Emperor now.
"Speaking of the matter of the Triple Emperor Fang Kun back then, it was also related to me!" You You took a deep breath and simply explained everything clearly. "Back then, he helped Yong Qing seize the divine artifact and also extracted a soul fragment from Nie Zheng, a disciple of my Zhenyan Sect. Later, when we searched for people in the Upper Realm, the reason he was injured and had his cultivation crippled was also because of me. Although Heng Yan imprisoned him, he did not kill Fang Kun. Could you please let Heng Yan go and stop pursuing him?"
“Okay!” Fang Ming replied instantly.
"..." Wait, did you have to agree so quickly? What happened to the deep brotherly bond and the revenge for the younger brother?
You You was stunned for a moment, then continued, "I know Fang Kun is your brother. If you have any requests, or..."
"No, no!" Fang Ming quickly shook her head and said, "We've never gotten along well!"
"..." Then why are you chasing after Hengyan?
Seemingly realizing the problem with her words, Fang Ming quickly explained, "Although I didn't get along with that bastard Fang Kun, we were still siblings. When I heard that he had been murdered by villains and that Heng Yan was controlling the entire Third Heaven, I felt it was only right and proper for me to inquire about it. That's why I went to the Second Heaven. It's just that Heng Yan is an unscrupulous person..."
He seemed to remember something, frowned, and said, "Although I don't know the details, Fang Kun's soul lamp has been extinguished, so he has indeed perished. It's one thing for him to deny it, but he also said that I plotted against him, insisting that I had already taken him away and handed him over to my Fourth Heaven. He even fought desperately to prevent us from entering the Second Heaven!" As a dignified Fourth Heaven Emperor, he naturally couldn't stand this injustice, which is why he directly attacked the Second Heaven and occupied the Immortal Palace.
"Wait!" You You suddenly realized, "You mean you didn't send anyone to the Second Heaven to pick up Fang Kun!"
"Of course not!" Fang Ming nodded. "Everyone in the Fourth Heaven knows that I get annoyed just seeing Fang Kun. He's not a girl, why would I bring him up here to get in my way?"
“I can vouch for this!” The immortals at the door also raised their hands to speak, “The Emperor and the Triple Emperor have not been in contact for eight thousand years.”
"That's right! Every time Fang Kun was mentioned in the past, the Emperor would look like he'd just eaten shit!"
"Yeah, I only just found out they're brothers. I always thought they were enemies."
"Huh? Am I the only one who knows that back in the mortal realm, Fang Kun snatched away the girl the Emperor liked? I heard that she was betrothed to him, but later Fang Kun took her place."
"Oh, I see..."
"Oh, I see..."
"Oh, then there must be some grudge..."
Fang Ming: "..."
Youyou: "..." It seems I've learned something incredible.
"Get lost!" Fang Ming couldn't hold back any longer. He casually pulled off the jade crown from his head and threw it at the immortals at the door. The immortals swiftly dodged the attack, not only avoiding it but also looking earnestly concerned for him, resolutely refusing to move an inch.
Those bastards are definitely doing this on purpose, deliberately exposing his shortcomings in front of the celestial maiden. Damn it, after thousands of years, he finally has a chance to speak to a girl, and there are people getting in his way! Do you think it's easy for him?!
Youyou pondered the matter carefully. The Fourth Emperor said he hadn't sent anyone to pick up Fang Kun, but Hengyan said Fang Kun had already been taken away. Who was lying, or... were they both telling the truth, and someone was stirring up trouble?
“Emperor Fang Ming, I think there might be some misunderstanding here. If possible, I hope you can sit down and have a good talk with Heng Yan to clarify things,” You You said.
“Okay…” Fang Ming naturally noticed something was wrong, especially when she looked at the other person’s face. She immediately nodded without hesitation and said, “I… I will do whatever the Heavenly Maiden says. I will give the order to release all the immortals in the Second Heaven.”
The immortals at the gate: "..." Bah, you bastards!
"When and where shall we talk? What outcome do we want? Celestial Maiden... will you talk with us?" Fang Ming continued to ask excitedly. As long as the Celestial Maiden was there, they could talk for as long as they wanted. She even wanted to start with a three-day, three-night session.
You You nodded and said, "Fang Kun's matter is also related to me, so I will naturally be there! As for when..." She calculated the time in her mind, looked out the window, and said, "It should be here soon?"
"What?" Fang Ming was stunned. The next moment, a loud bang came from above, like something being smashed.
"Someone has breached the Celestial Palace's defensive array!" someone exclaimed.
The immortals, whose attention had been entirely focused on Youyou, finally snapped out of their excitement at seeing the girl and turned to look at the sky. The next moment, a phoenix cry rang out, and a huge fire phoenix appeared in the sky. Vast swaths of flame rapidly spread above the celestial palace, turning into a sea of fire that fell downwards, seemingly intent on burning everything to ashes.
"Phoenix True Fire? It's from the gods!" Fang Ming recognized the flames and instinctively stood up to shield You You, shouting, "Protect the Heavenly Maiden!"
As he spoke, he immediately summoned his natal magic weapon, and the immortal at the door also changed his expression, about to summon his own weapon.
"No need!" You You stepped forward, shoving Fang Ming aside who was blocking her way. She then shouted towards the sea of fire in the sky outside the window, "Feng Rong, I'm here!"
The fire phoenix that was about to swoop down towards the main hall suddenly stopped, and almost instantly transformed into a red flash, flying towards this side and landing in front of You You. Suddenly, a man in red appeared in the hall.
"Youyou!" Feng Rong hugged the person in front of her tightly, her voice still tinged with panic. "Are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me?" Youyou sighed, then thought for a moment and patted his back reassuringly.
"A celestial maiden?" Fang Ming glanced at the two of them, her gaze falling on the seal on Feng Rong's forehead, momentarily unable to process what she was seeing.
Feng Rong's face darkened. She turned to protect You You behind her, glared angrily at Fang Ming, and a red light suddenly appeared in her hand. It looked like she was about to conjure a ball of fire and throw it at him.
"Wait, this is a misunderstanding!" You You quickly grabbed the person. "Where are Yuan's father and Hengyan? Shouldn't they have come along too?"
"Xiao You!" As soon as she finished speaking, two flashes of light flew in, and it was Yuan Qi who was carrying Heng Yan.
Yuan Qi strode over and carefully examined You You, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming she was unharmed. Heng Yan, who had followed, caught sight of Fang Ming beside him and instinctively flinched. Then, glancing at You You, he seemed to regain his confidence, straightening his back and walking over with his head held high.
Hmph! He has a grandfather!
Fang Ming: "..."
All the immortals: "..."
Oh, why do I suddenly feel like I've been dumped?
