Gu Qi was quite shrewd. He gave many reasons that seemed to be excuses for himself, but most of them were actually to give King Pingdeng a way out. Of course, he was also saying this to the other ghosts and the Old Man of the Moon.
The most crucial point is that Wuying was mentioned later, which tells him that Wuying was resting here, but he, Guqi, was sent out, which is against the rules.
“Um… what you said makes some sense. I don’t need any help, but there are many things to do on this floor, so it’s really inconvenient for you to go there. So… why don’t you go, Wuying? I wonder if the Old Man of the Moon…?” King Pingdeng turned to look at Wang Yao.
Wang Yao hasn't said a word yet, clearly showing his displeasure. However, after Gu Qi reminded King Pingdeng of the unwritten rules of the underworld, he became even more concerned about the affairs of the immortals. After all, the underworld is under the jurisdiction of the immortal realm, and the Heavenly Emperor is a ruthless and capable individual.
If those two immortals cause trouble under my watch, even if they don't punish me, but just move me out of the Underworld, wouldn't I be kicking myself? The Underworld is so comfortable, I wouldn't even want to be the Heavenly Emperor.
“Lord Equality, in principle, I shouldn’t be causing you any more trouble with this major event of the underworld being invaded by corpse energy. However, I am actually working for the Heavenly Court’s office in the human world, and coming to your underworld is already considered absenteeism. The reason I’m here is that I have many things to take care of.”
"We haven't even gotten one thing done yet. I'm always so unsettled when I do things," Wang Yao said, shaking his head. He had already done more than enough for the Underworld by setting up the blockade, and that was only because of Qin Su, the Cat Ghost, the Business Ghost, and a bunch of other low-level ghosts.
Otherwise, given the fact that he was only given a soul lamp during his asylum and that the underworld openly sold human flesh, he would have already packed up and left with Hui Shuo to go to the human world to report the Shengshi Fanhua Hotel incident to Lu Xian. Saving the human world was the priority, and he wouldn't care about the life or death of the underworld.
King Pingdeng wanted him to scout ahead, but the center of the Three Passes was clearly not a safe place. There was a man in green robes who went there and never returned, and two immortals who disappeared without a trace. Even Gu Qi knew to make excuses to avoid it. Wang Yao wasn't some pushover who was just there to play with ghosts.
So when he heard King Pingdeng's words, he originally wanted to refuse directly. Now that the situation on floor zero has stabilized, a few low-level corpse puppets are not even enough to fill Guqi's teeth, let alone King Pingdeng. Little Fairy is powerless and can only put up protective shields for you on the side and maintain the blockade.
As for dangerous places like the Three Links Center, I don't have the ability to go there and risk getting into trouble.
But as the words were about to come out, he quickly changed his mind and brought up the fact that he had many things to do. There were just too many things to do, and Gu Qi's attitude had been ambiguous. If he didn't bring them up now so that the King of Hell could at least be prepared, it would probably be much more troublesome to deal with them later.
Moreover, since he was a "good person," he wouldn't be in danger anywhere. If things could be resolved this way, even if it was just King Pingdeng, one of the Kings of Hell, who agreed, it would at least show the Underworld's attitude towards him, Wang Yao. He wouldn't mind helping the Underworld out.
After all, helping the underworld is actually helping the human world, so he's not doing something entirely in vain. He can also solve all his problems, so why not?
"Are you talking about the Underworld Window interface? Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise. As long as this matter is settled, I will definitely contact the Five Senses King for you. As long as the Old Man of the Moon makes a great enough contribution to the Underworld, I think the Five Senses King will definitely give you face."
When King Pingdeng heard Wang Yao mention the matter, he immediately thought of the interface panel window that Wang Yao had mentioned before. He was not confident in persuading King Wuguan and was afraid that Wang Yao would shut him up with his words, so he quickly put forward his conditions before Wang Yao could, but he did not make any absolute statements, leaving himself room for maneuver.
"Let's put the interface panel aside for now. I have several other things to attend to. I wonder if you have the patience to listen?" Wang Yao said with a smile and a shake of his head.
"Oh? Several things? I'm actually quite curious. You, Old Man of the Moon, are a carefree immortal. What other matters do you need to handle in our humble underworld?" King Pingdeng looked at Wang Yao with an expression of great interest.
He cursed Wang Yao inwardly for being cunning. Wang Yao said he wouldn't cause him trouble, but his actions clearly showed that he was taking advantage of his misfortune. He couldn't turn against him, since he needed the help of the Matchmaker.
Even though he had nothing to ask the Old Man of the Moon for help, King Pingdeng did not intend to offend Wang Yao. After all, the matter of King Wuguan was still fresh in everyone's mind. Who in the higher-ups of the Underworld did not know that the Old Man of the Moon was ruthless? Offending him would only make trouble for himself. Therefore, King Pingdeng could only patiently listen to Wang Yao's conditions.
"Then I'll proceed according to the order of importance and urgency. The first thing I discovered after arriving in the Underworld is that your Underworld is openly selling human-machines. Lord Equality, I don't know what you did in your past life, but I have been a human in both my past and present lives."
"Although I have now become an immortal, how could I easily forget my former identity as an ordinary person? How can human flesh be sold like chicken, duck, or fish? I saw this and I was really unhappy. I think this is the underworld openly degrading the status of humans."
"Although this Lord Gu said that he would eat even if he got a celestial artifact, I have never seen any celestial artifacts, divine artifacts, or even demonic artifacts, monster artifacts, or even ghost artifacts from your underworld openly for sale. Isn't this blatant bullying?"
"You should know that the human realm is an equal realm to the underworld. If your underworld insists on selling human artifacts, I will go to the Heavenly Emperor and suggest that since your underworld treats humans as food and looks down on humans, then humans should simply find another underworld that respects them."
