Chapter 201: Borrowing People from Yue Mansion and Rumored Messengers
Fairy Qingyao was already waiting at the door. She took over the task of leading the way from Dr. Huang and led him into the depths of the flower garden.
Fairy Qingyao smiled and said, "How do you feel about the Lord of Mount Tai personally supporting you?"
Gong Mengbi smiled bitterly and said, "At first I am happy, but I can't help but feel sad. I am afraid the burden is too heavy for me to bear."
Fairy Qingyao raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You are quite insightful."
Gong Mengbi asked carefully, "Fairy Qingyao, could you tell me why the goddess came to see me?"
Fairy Qingyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."
Deep in the flower garden, the fragrance of osmanthus fills the air.
From afar, he could see thousands of golden flowers blooming on the lush osmanthus trees, with a subtle and pleasant fragrance. This made Gong Mengbi happy, and his magic power surged, making him more active.
It is not of human origin, but came from the moon.
What Gong Mengbi saw was almost as if he could see the Moon Goddess.
The Jade Fairy Goddess was picking osmanthus flowers in the flower garden. Her slender hands were moving among the golden flakes, and she was truly the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Goddess, Gong Mingfu is here." Fairy Qingyao reported.
The Jade Fairy Goddess nodded at them and continued picking flowers with the bamboo basket.
Fairy Qingyao picked up two baskets from under the osmanthus tree, handed one to Gong Mengbi, gave him a look, and followed her to pick osmanthus flowers.
Gong Mengbi was almost drunk in this field of osmanthus. He followed and picked osmanthus flowers, his fingers running through the flowers, inhaling the fragrance of osmanthus, and he could feel the magic power in his body becoming more delicate and gentle.
The Jade Fairy Goddess asked, "Has the thief who destroyed the Niangniang Temple been apprehended?"
Gong Mengbi replied, "He's been caught and is being tortured at Yue Mansion. I didn't expect this guy to be involved in some disputes."
Gong Mengbi told the Jade Fairy Goddess everything that happened in the Yue Mansion and told her his guesses.
The Jade Fairy Goddess sighed and said, "This matter is also difficult for the Yue Mansion. It is particularly difficult when it involves the human dynasty. The Yue Mansion cannot interfere in human affairs. Once the evil ways of the Yin-Yang Dharma King are involved with the dragon battle, the Yue Mansion cannot intervene lightly, as it can easily cause some unnecessary trouble."
Gong Mengbi asked doubtfully, "What about the Tianxiadu City God? The Tianxiadu City God commands all other City Gods and protects the safety of the Imperial Capital. This beast is stirring up trouble in the Imperial Capital, and the Tianxiadu City God doesn't care?"
The Jade Fairy Goddess plucked a sweet-scented osmanthus flower and played with it between her fingers. She said, "He wants to intervene, but I'm afraid he's powerless. The Imperial Capital is protected by countless gods, but they all operate under the laws of humanity and are therefore deprived of their freedom. Let's see how he responds. If he can capture the evildoer, that would be great, but I'm afraid he can't."
Gong Mengbi understood that although the City God of the World nominally commanded all the City Gods of the World, it was hard to say how much control he had over the local governors in the human world.
The Jade Fairy Goddess said, "The Lord of the Mansion told me yesterday that you are a promising talent. The Sky Fox Court and the Yue Mansion are closely related, so they wanted to borrow you to do something, but I declined."
The Jade Fairy Goddess looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "What do you think?"
Gong Mengbi spoke frankly, "I am very grateful for the Lord's appreciation. The Yue Mansion is indeed solemn and majestic. However, I have already seen the constraints of the divine way. I am good at cultivating the immortal way. I am free and at ease, and I don't need to be bound by various rules."
The Jade Fairy Goddess laughed and said, "You really know how to please others. I'll tell the Lord of the Mansion that the Sky Fox Court is also short of people now. If he wants to use you, wait until you die and then go to him."
Gong Mengbi smiled bitterly and said, "I can only let you down."
The Jade Fairy Goddess nodded and said, "Although I rejected the Lord of the Mansion, as he said, the Sky Fox Court and the Yue Mansion are of the same blood. Although you are not working under him, if the Yue Mansion has any orders, you must do your best to fulfill them."
Gong Mengbi said, "Student understands."
The Jade Fairy Goddess said, "For example, the Yin-Yang Dharma King and the Ghost King Juliu's ghost concubines are hiding in the human world and taking refuge in the human world. It is difficult for the Yue Mansion to capture them. If you encounter them, you must find a way to help the Yue Mansion."
Gong Mengbi said, "Even if the goddess doesn't tell me about this kind of evil, I will find a way to deal with it if I encounter it. Your Highness governs the good and evil in the world and promotes the righteous path. Your student's duty is to inspire spiritual enlightenment and show mercy. This is my practice."
The Jade Fairy Goddess nodded and said, "You have such a heart, and it is worth my respect for you."
Gong Mengbi said, "I will always remember your kindness, Headmaster."
The Jade Fairy Goddess laughed and said, "You don't need to remember this. Your diligent cultivation and good work will be the best reward for me."
The Jade Fairy Goddess reached out and handed the osmanthus flower on her fingertips to Gong Mengbi. Gong Mengbi took it, and the osmanthus flower disappeared in his palm.
Then, a talisman condensed in his spiritual platform, shaped like a laurel tree, emitting thousands of golden lights.
"This is..." Gong Mengbi communicated with the talisman, and some information leaked out from it.
The Jade Fairy Goddess said, "This is the Fengwen Talisman. With this talisman, you can gain the Fengwen Envoy's trust."
Gong Mengbi didn't quite understand, so he looked at Fairy Qingyao, who then explained: "Didn't you meet the Envoy of Wind and Rain last time?"
The last time the goddess came to the Fox Courtyard for an assessment, the rumor envoy investigated the fox culture in Wuning County.
Seeing that he remembered, Fairy Qingyao said, "The Fengwen Division collects intelligence from all over the world for the Sky Fox Academy. It belongs exclusively to the headmaster of the Sky Fox Academy. Now that you have the Fengwen Talisman, when you meet a Fengwen Envoy, you can trust them and ask them for intelligence."
Fairy Qingyao said, "The identity of the Fengwen Envoy is kept secret. Only after obtaining the talisman will one know the other party's identity when they meet. In fact, Fengwen Division has already contacted you, I don't know if you have noticed it."
Gong Mengbi lowered his head in thought and said with a smile, "It's the document library!"
Fairy Qingyao said, "That's right. It's the document library, and also the Rumors Department. All documents from the Sky Fox Court must be transferred through the document library, and the intelligence from the Rumor Envoys is also disguised as documents, and finally compiled by the Rumors Department."
Gong Mengbi asked, "Am I also a rumor envoy now?"
Fairy Qingyao said, "Aren't you a rumor messenger? How many things have you reported since you became a fairy official?"
Gong Mengbi said embarrassedly, "I just wrote more documents."
Fairy Qingyao said, "However, rumors must remain hidden from the public, just like the document you wrote yourself, which did not mention the execution of the Wuning County City God. When you are outside, you must remain the Fox Lord and must not reveal your identity to anyone."
Gong Mengbi played with an osmanthus flower and said, "I understand."
Pale yellow, soft in nature, its feelings are distant, only its fragrance remains. Why need a light green or deep red color? It is the best among flowers.
I heard that the talisman is in the shape of a laurel tree, so I naturally take pride in it.
Anyone who is chosen by the goddess to be the rumor messenger must be the best among the fox fairies, but he hides himself under various identities and does not show his true colors in daily life.
The goddess said: "You are a troublemaker. With this talisman on you, you will also be able to get some convenience."
Gong Mengbi bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Headmaster."
The goddess said, "No need to be so polite."
The goddess then talked to Gong Mengbi about some things in Fox Courtyard, and her words were full of encouragement and praise.
After the goddess picked a basket full of osmanthus flowers, Fairy Qingyao led Gong Mengbi away.
After sending him to the entrance of the flower garden, Fairy Qingyao glanced at Gong Mengbi's basket. Seeing that it was not yet full, she poured the osmanthus flowers from her basket into his and said, "These flowers are rare and useless to me, but they are very useful to you, a fox who worships the moon and practices cultivation. Take them all back."
Gong Mengbi said goodbye to her, she nodded, and went back into the flower garden with her bamboo basket.
