"The Matchmaker?...You're the Matchmaker? Isn't the Matchmaker Xi Fu who's imprisoned in the Zhenxie Heavenly Prison?" King Qin Guang asked in astonishment.
"What ancient history are you living in? Xi Fu's position as the matchmaker has long been passed down to this young king. Don't you think that if Xi Fu hadn't lost his position as the matchmaker, he wouldn't have been so easily arrested and thrown into the Heavenly Prison?" the fairy sneered.
"No wonder! I was wondering what powerful methods the Heavenly Court used this time to arrest Xi Fu. It turns out Xi Fu is no longer the matchmaker, but you, kid, are the matchmaker now." King Qin Guang said to Wang Yao with sudden realization.
Wang Yao was too lazy to argue with him. He nodded to the fairy maiden, then led Wuying past her and walked forward past King Qin Guang. King Qin Guang's ghost followers hurriedly made way for him. King Qin Guang watched Wang Yao's back, blinked a few times, and suddenly his expression changed.
"Moon... Old Man of the Moon, please wait!" King Qin Guang exclaimed.
As King Qin Guang shouted, the ghosts he brought hurriedly stepped forward to block Wang Yao's path once again.
Wang Yao was getting impatient. He thought to himself, "Damn it, the underworld really looks down on immortals. Several Yama Kings are taking turns causing me trouble. Do they really think I'm made of clay?" He secretly cast a "good person" on himself and coldly turned to look at King Qin Guang.
He planned that if the King of Hell said anything wrong, he would immediately force his way out and show them the power of a "good person".
King Qin Guang, however, had already turned to look at the fairy.
"Um... Fairy... Fairy Maiden, why did the Old Man of the Moon leave? He... he can deal with spirits, why did you need to go to the Heavenly Court for help?"
King Qin Guang's words left both the fairy and Wang Yao speechless for a moment.
"The Old Man of the Moon can deal with spirits? Old Qin, what's wrong with you? How could the Old Man of the Moon, a civil official, possibly deal with spirits?" the fairy asked in astonishment.
"No? Fairy, have you forgotten? More than a hundred years ago, during the war between Heaven and the Ocean God, how did the spiritual army of Shiva, the Ocean God of the Southern Wilderness, retreat?" King Qin Guang asked the Fairy.
"Shiva, the god of the Southern Wilderness? I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. It was all over the news back then, saying that Shiva had a massive army of spirits, and that they were incredibly powerful. They attacked from the southwest of the human realm. I was in the Heavenly Court at the time, and it was said that the passage between the Heavenly Court and the human realm in the Western Kunlun Mountains had been breached by the spirit army."
"The celestial beings in Heaven were extremely tense at the time. After all, there weren't many celestial beings in Heaven capable of dealing with those with refined bodies, and everyone was worried they wouldn't be able to withstand the attack. But then there was no further news. We only heard that the Western god Shiva had retreated, and Heaven had reclaimed the passage to Western Kunlun. What do you mean..."
"The retreat of the Western god Shiva has something to do with the Old Man Under the Moon?" The fairy frowned as she recalled the past, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at King Qin Guang.
“Of course, oh… I remember now, Xi Fu’s methods back then weren’t exactly honorable, and the Heavenly Court forbade it to be publicized. However, you’re close to the Heavenly Emperor and his wife, and you’re also a member of the Heavenly Court’s Six Peace Committee, so you should have heard of him, right?” King Qin Guang also looked at the fairy maiden in surprise.
“I was in West Kunlun at the time, but I heard it from Xi Fu himself. He came back after winning the battle and was bragging that he, the Old Man of the Moon, was the best at dealing with spirits.”
After listening to King Qin Guang's words, the fairy frowned and thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head and turned to look at Wang Yao.
"I'm a woman, and I joined the Liuan Committee because of the need for gender balance. How would I know anything about fighting and killing? I've never heard the Heavenly Emperor and his wife mention it. The Old Man of the Moon is best at dealing with spirits? Little Wang, do you know about this?"
"I've only been a matchmaker for a few months, how would I know about things from over a hundred years ago?"
Wang Yao shook his head blankly, but in his heart he recalled what Yue Fei had said in the realm of gods. Yue Fei had said that because the spirits were hermaphroditic, they often had difficulties in recognizing their gender, and this could be used to deal with them.
He didn't take it to heart at the time, thinking that if even a fairy godmother couldn't handle it, he, the newly appointed matchmaker, shouldn't even be thinking about it. But now, recalling it, could Yue Fei's talk about gender recognition mean that he could also arrange marriages for spirits?
He couldn't figure out how to make the spirit suffer from cognitive impairment, but he was too lazy to stand up for the underworld anymore, so he shook his head.
“Fairy, I’ve only just taken my seat as matchmaker, and I haven’t even warmed up yet. Xi Fu is a seasoned matchmaker after all, and there are some methods that I might not be able to use at this stage. I think I should go down first. That King of Five Senses even said that I’m not welcome in the underworld. Staying here will only make me look foolish.”
Upon hearing Wang Yao's words, before the fairy could even speak, King Qin Guang frowned.
"Fifth Brother said you're not welcome in the underworld? Why? It was Xi Fu who arranged that doomed marriage for him, what does it have to do with you?"
"Your methods, King Yama, are so treacherous, turning black into white and fabricating stories out of thin air. I have no idea how you understand them. Please ask your men to make way for me, Your Highness. King Wuguan is trying to drive me away. Surely Your Highness won't even let me leave?" Wang Yao shook his head, too lazy to explain to King Qin Guang, and was just in a hurry to leave.
"Um...you must have some misunderstanding, right? Here's the thing, come with me. The Five Senses King is on this floor. Let's talk things out face to face. Right now, the Underworld is facing a great calamity. Every immortal we have adds to our strength."
"Regardless of whether you can deal with spirits, you can't afford to clash with my Underworld. Come, come, I'm not hard to find, it's just a few steps away. Would you please come with me, Fairy and Old Man of the Moon?"
King Qin Guang was a man of great experience. He noticed that Wang Yao hadn't said a single nice word to him since they met, and his words were full of resentment. He knew perfectly well that this newly appointed matchmaker had been irritated by King Wu Guan.
