"I don't understand." Wang Yao shook his head, staring at the fairy. He didn't know any big shots like Laozi, Venus, or the Star Lord of Zhenxing. The fairy's explanation was so vague and confusing that he really didn't understand.
"Don't you understand? Do you know how troublesome it is for us to do this kind of thing? Take investigating the cause of the great calamity, for example. If the cause we find is inconsistent with Taibai Jinxing's idea, we could be in trouble as long as there are any loopholes in the investigation process!"
“Our leader, Lord Zhenxing, will not speak for us, and even if he wanted to, it wouldn’t make much of a difference,” the fairy said, frowning.
"I'm speechless! Since you know it's going to be a bad thing, why do you still insist on dragging me into it?" Wang Yao stared at the fairy in astonishment.
"Of course it has to be you. For example, even if we find out the cause of the great calamity, if our ideas differ from those of Venus, there are many things to consider when reporting it to our superiors."
“If we disagree, or if you and I are two-faced, saying one thing to my face and another behind my back, then endless trouble will ensue.”
“If you’re in trouble, that’s your trouble. What does it have to do with me?” Wang Yao asked, glaring at him.
"You fairy, we've been through thick and thin together, and you won't even help me with this little thing?" the fairy said angrily.
“You should go find your mahjong buddy. The Heavenly Emperor’s wife can help you. All the Heavenly Emperor has to do is say a word and make sure you don’t have to do this job, and everything will be fine. Why don’t you go find a lowly clerk like me? What can I do to help you?” Wang Yao was getting impatient.
"Wouldn't it take me until I return to Heaven to find the Heavenly Emperor? Now that the Star Lord's mission has been handed over, it's time for a handover. After all, the Star Lord is one of the Seven Sages, so I have to give him face, right? I have to put on a show, raise the stage, and go through the motions, don't I?" the fairy said.
"So all you've been telling me is that you want me to put on a show for you? There are so many immortals in the Underworld now, like Dean Li, Physician Huo, and that guy Wuji from earlier. You could just find a few of them and make it look real, right? Why did you come to me? I'm in a hurry to get back to the human world."
"I don't have time to waste on your nonsense here." Wang Yao was even more unwilling upon hearing this.
Seeing that Wang Yao's attitude was becoming more and more resolute, the fairy maiden became anxious.
"Just tell me, what do you want in return for you to stay and help me?" the fairy asked.
"It's not that great. The key question is, what exactly do you want? If you're afraid of trouble, go find your mahjong buddies. If you're just going to make a show of it, go find Dean Li. I just don't understand why you're so fixated on me?" Wang Yao said irritably.
“Because I still want to do some things!” the fairy exclaimed, stamping her foot. “It was clearly a calamity launched by the foreign god, so why insist on calling it a terrorist attack? Why did the foreign god launch this calamity? Was it because of that eunuch's suggestion? Do you believe that? Don’t you want to know the reason?”
"What if the Heavenly Emperor is deceived? I need to understand the situation before I can work on him, right? Just think how complicated the relationships are. Why doesn't Laozi take the lead? What is the Heavenly Emperor really thinking? What is Venus's true stance?"
“I didn’t have any specific position in Heaven before, and I didn’t have anyone under me, not a single person I could trust. How can such a complicated matter be handled without someone I can trust to discuss it with? Apart from my husband, Lu, I only trust you now. If you don’t help me, who will?” the fairy said aggrievedly.
“But…” Wang Yao found her reasoning quite reasonable, but he was also a little troubled. This burden was too heavy for his small body to bear! He thought for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I have someone in mind, and they're definitely capable!"
"Who?" the fairy asked, frowning.
“Fairy Caixia! Think about it, Caixia is a subordinate of Zhenxingjun. If Zhenxingjun doesn’t protect you, how could he not protect her? She is also the granddaughter of the Heavenly Emperor. How could the Heavenly Emperor not protect her? What’s even better is that she is a foreigner, and her father is a foreign god.”
“With this connection, there shouldn’t be any problems with Venus, right?” Wang Yao said.
“Tell me about others. Of course I know Caixia. She’s just a little girl who doesn’t know anything. She’s always messing around with foreign gadgets. If she joins the crew, she might sell me out one day.” The fairy shook her head repeatedly.
"Do you really want to find out the truth about the great calamity?" Wang Yao asked.
"Of course I want to!" the fairy replied irritably.
"You're not trying to frame Yangjie, are you?" Wang Yao suddenly asked in a low voice.
"What are you saying? Didn't you see the God of the West, Robin? What do you mean by framing someone?" The fairy was displeased.
"Although we saw that 'Ocean God Robin,' are you sure there's no mastermind behind him?"
"If not, how can the Ocean God Robin represent the entire Ocean Realm? If he does, what if the real culprit is from the Six Realms, and the Ocean God Robin is just a gofer like that eunuch?" Wang Yao asked a series of questions.
“If you really want to find out the truth, it shouldn’t be a problem to ask Caixia to help you. I know her well, and she shouldn’t hide the truth,” Wang Yao said.
"Probably not? How can you be so confident in her?" the fairy asked suspiciously.
“Just like you, we’ve been through thick and thin together,” Wang Yao said. He and Caixia had indeed been through thick and thin together when they were investigating the professor, and he firmly believed that Caixia was an upright person who would not intentionally confuse right and wrong or distort the truth just because it involved the foreign land.
"Speaking of which..." Fairy Maiden was indeed tempted after hearing what Wang Yao said. Caixia's conditions were just too good. Bringing her into the group could really relieve a lot of her pressure. But then she thought about it again and shook her head repeatedly.
“No, you’ve been through life and death with her, but I haven’t. She might not betray you, but she might betray me. Even if Caixia is to join the group, you can’t leave,” the fairy said.
