The Jade Emperor cleared his throat and said to Zhu Ji and the others, "Did you hear that? You've angered even the most good-tempered god. If God Shu Yun really comes knocking on our door, I won't be able to protect you."
Bei Xingxiu seized the opportunity to say, "Shu Yun is the youngest immortal and the youngest god in the Three Realms. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but all of you rabble together wouldn't be enough to defeat Shu Yun with just one hand."
Zhu Ji has considerable seniority in the Nine Heavens, and many gods there respect him. Right now, the Jade Emperor is clearly biased towards Shu Yun, and there's nothing he can do about it. After all, Shu Yun is a high god, and no one wants to offend him.
But his ruthlessness towards Penglai grew even stronger; this time, he had really lost face.
Zhu Ji nodded, feigning understanding, "I understand. Actually, we were also wrong to act rashly. Let's just let it go."
"Stop pretending." Bei Xingxiu glanced at him.
Zhu Ji ignored him and left the hall. Shu Yun, a young and arrogant fellow, spoke rudely relying on his cultivation and family background. Zhu Ji had plenty of ways to get back at him.
Previously, Jiang Yan was in the Underworld, with Meng Po and Yama watching over him, and they wouldn't let him interfere no matter what. Now that he heard that Jiang Yan had voluntarily left the Underworld and was no longer under Yama's jurisdiction, he no longer had a reason to protect Jiang Yan.
If he uses discreet methods, making a small ghost disappear from the Three Realms would be a piece of cake. Even if Shu Yun suspects him, she can't do anything to him without evidence.
He sent people out to search for Jiang Yan's whereabouts, and news should come soon. At that time, that mere mortal will be utterly annihilated, and that arrogant Penglai will suffer a humiliation.
Shu Yun carefully straightened her clothes, cast an illusion spell on herself to make herself less conspicuous, and only went out after confirming that everything was in order.
Seeing this, Zi'e assumed she had found something interesting and casually asked, "Where are you going?"
"The mortal realm."
"God, didn't you find the mortal realm messy and annoying?"
“That was so many years ago,” she seemed to have said in a distant memory, “I’m going to check what’s going on in the human world now, see if the storybooks have been updated, and get some food.”
Zi'e exposed her, "You just feel uncomfortable with Pei Ju here, don't you?"
Shu Yun snorted lightly, "Nonsense, why would I feel uncomfortable?"
That day, Pei Ju emerged from the rosewood forest clutching his heart, his face pale. She happened to see him and weakly pleaded to stay in Penglai for a while. Seeing his appearance, she couldn't bring herself to refuse. After all, she still harbored some resentment when she took his heart, and her actions were too rough, leaving him still recovering from his injuries.
She reaped what she sowed. She had been foolish enough not to refuse him at the time, and now she felt uncomfortable but couldn't admit it. If she were in Penglai, Pei Ju would come to see her frequently, so she should probably go out and hide.
Zi'e smiled without saying a word, watching as Shu Yun slipped away to wander around the human world.
Although Pei Ju was restrained and spent most of his time in the pear blossom forest, the sisters on the island unanimously believed that this white-robed immortal still harbored feelings for their god.
That's more like it. Our High God inherited his late wife's looks. He was famously beautiful in the Three Realms, and he was also very powerful and had a good temper. It's no wonder he likes her.
Because of this, the sisters on the island finally found Pei Ju a little more agreeable, but that was all. After all, he had hurt the God's feelings when the God was undergoing tribulation.
