Chapter 755: Suing the Wrong Door
Miao Huhui sighed and said, "What a farce."
"It's really a farce. A small county like Xia Pi has also established a spiritual practice bureau. It's really interesting."
"Training Bureau?"
"Some develop a heart for Taoism, others become demons through lust, drawn into the Buddhist sects, and entangled with humans, ghosts, foxes, and demons. How can this not be called a trap?"
"Then who is the one who set up the scheme?" Miao Hu looked at Gong Mengbi expectantly.
"How would I know?" Gong Mengbi waved his hand. "Let's go. The City God has summoned you."
Miao Huhui looked at Gong Mengbi and suspected that he already knew but just wouldn't say it. For example, at this moment, before Miao Huhui even saw the summoned ghost, Gong Mengbi had already said that the City God had come to summon him.
But Miao Huhui knew that Gong Mengbi wouldn't be wrong. Sure enough, before they even left the city, the night wandering spirit had already landed in front of the three of them in the twilight. This wandering spirit had wings on its back, fleshy wings spread out, resembling a bat. It only looked at Miao Huhui and said with a hint of contempt, "Are you the fox fairy who complained?"
Miao Huhui frowned, his heart skipped a beat, and said, "I am."
The parading god said, "I'm glad it's you! The City God has summoned you. Please arrive at the City God Temple before 10:00 p.m. No one will be waited for later." As he spoke, the parading god flapped his flesh wings and flew away like a paper kite.
"What a great arrogance!" Miao Huhui complained boldly. Under normal circumstances, he would not have the courage to do so. So after cursing, he looked at Gong Mengbi again.
"Look at me, what are you doing? Just do what you need to do and pretend I'm not here."
Miao Fox will understand.
It was already past midnight, and there was no extra time to leave for the City God Temple.
Miao Hu Hui turned and headed towards the City God Temple, where they soon discovered that a number of ghost messengers had appeared around them. The Night Wanderer's eyes and ears were sharp, so finding Miao Hu Hui was easy. These ghost messengers had followed them, half following them, half holding them hostage.
If Gong Mengbi had not been by his side, Miao Hu would have started to complain in his heart, but at this moment, he was still able to go to the City God Temple with a calm attitude.
After passing through the screen wall and entering the City God Temple, the temple keeper swept his whisk and said, "Fox Fairy, please come in."
When you step into the City God Hall, you are like stepping from the human world into a foreign land. The furnishings and clay puppets in the temple are all transformed into the true form of gods.
The City God sat high up in the hall and shouted, "Who is here?"
Miao Huhui then showed Tianyi and announced his name.
The City God looked at the Ninth Rank Celestial Clothes and frowned, saying, "You are an immortal official from the Heavenly Fox Court. Why are you not staying in Mount Tai? Why are you here in Xia Pi?"
Miao Huhui said, "I am here by the grace of the Goddess and the command of the Jade Fairy Goddess to establish a fox academy in Xia Pi to educate the wild foxes."
"How dare you!" The City God raised his brows and said, "Do you have the approval to set up the Fox Court? Is it from the Heavenly Palace or the Underworld? Have you reported this to the Lord God of this region?"
Miao Huhui was stunned for a moment and said, "Fox Court is not an official office, but merely a fox academy. Why would it need approval from the Heavenly Palace or the Underworld? As for reporting to the Venerable God, perhaps the Venerable God forgot that I submitted the documents to the Venerable God when I started building Fox Court two years ago."
The City God looked at the assistant officer beside him, who nodded imperceptibly.
The City God said, "So it's you. What grievance do you have?"
Miao Huhui said, "I accuse Zhang Chengzu, a young man from the Zhang family, a prominent family in Xia Pi, of using his martial arts to break into the Huzi Courtyard and steal my Fox Book. He is guilty of robbery. Please, God, enforce the law impartially and order him to return the Fox Book."
The City God glanced at his left and right assistants, then glanced at the Yin messengers standing on his left and right, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The left and right assistants and all the ghost messengers in the room also joined in the laughter. Amidst the roaring laughter, Miao Huhui felt so humiliated that his teeth were about to break.
The City God laughed and said, "You are a cultivator and an immortal official, while that Zhang family boy is just an ordinary person. You actually let him steal the Fox Book and you still have the nerve to report it to me. It's really ridiculous."
Miao Huhui's chest heaved violently, but he tried to maintain a calm exterior. He said, "If you want me to take back the Fox Book, I naturally have a way. The reason I came to the Venerable God to seek help is that I don't want to be accused of showing off my magical powers and misleading people with my sorcery."
The City God could naturally tell that the Miao Fox Society wasn't very advanced, and he knew the Fox Book had been left at the Mirror Pagoda Temple. It wasn't true that he knew everything about Xia Pi, but he could still find out most of what was going on in Xia Pi City.
Therefore, after mocking him, the City God said, "You are not well-trained and are asking for trouble. Even if you must sue, you are suing the wrong people. Zhang Chengzu is just an ordinary man. If you want to sue him, you should go to the mortal government office. Coming to me is the wrong place."
Miao Huhui's heart burned with anger, his face flushing red, but he couldn't lash out. He politely replied, "First, the mortal court is limited by mortal eyes and I'm afraid they won't accept my grievances. Second, the fox book is a spiritual artifact and shouldn't be released into the world. It should be managed by the gods to avoid any trouble."
The City God waved his hand and said, "Humans and gods each have their own ways. Go to the yamen on earth and file a complaint. There's no need to come here again."
"Honorable God!" Miao Huhui shouted loudly.
"Why don't you ask him to leave?" Seeing that Miao Huhui was about to say something, the left and right assistants shouted loudly, and the Yin messengers on both sides immediately crossed their water and fire sticks to stop Miao Huhui.
"Please, don't make it difficult for me."
Miao Huhui looked around the hall, his eyes red, and nodded, "Okay! Okay!"
He was pushed by the water and fire sticks and staggered out of the City God Temple.
After leaving the City God Temple, the temple keeper gave a false smile and asked, "How's the Miao Fox Society going?"
"Don't bother the temple keeper."
Watching the Miao Fox Society hurriedly leaving, the temple keeper shook his head and said, "Fools!"
Miao Huhui left the City God Temple and was blown by the cool night wind, and he felt that the sweat on his body had turned cold.
He looked around but did not see Gong Mengbi. He turned back to look at the City God Temple and saw Gong Mengbi slowly walking out of the door.
"Gong Huzheng!"
Gong Mengbi patted his shoulder and said, "Just ignore it, why are you still humiliating me?"
Miao Huhui felt truly aggrieved and filled with resentment, saying, "Why would the City God behave like this?"
"Don't scold him. There are two little ghosts following you, eavesdropping on you, waiting for you to say something rude and insult the City God so they can take you back."
"Why is that?"
"He must have some connection to the Zhang family. He's trying to protect them and suppress the matter, so it's obvious they have a close relationship." Shao Hu was speculating, crossing his arms and sighing, "Or maybe he's the one who set this up?"
Miao Hu will ask: "What should we do next?"
"Of course, we have to ruin their plans and muddy the waters so we can catch the fish in the water."
