Wang Yao leaned closer to take a look and saw that the letter of introduction read, "This is to inform you that Section Chief Wang Yao from my unit is going to visit the imprisoned immortals Xi Fu and Madam Zhe Mei. The three of us are He Xiangu, Wang Yao, and Qing He. Please provide us with proper reception."
The letter of introduction was in the style of an official document, with the official seals of the Heavenly Court's Office in the Human Realm and the Heavenly Court's Six Realms Security Committee stamped below, as well as two antique-style private seals. Wang Yao was not very good at recognizing seal script, and could only vaguely guess that one of them was stamped with the four characters "Lü Dongbin's Seal".
He could no longer recognize the Heavenly Emperor's name from the other Heavenly Emperor's personal seal, except for the last character "印" (seal).
Upon closer inspection, he noticed the discrepancy in the letter of introduction. It turned out that the words "Madam Zhemei" were squeezed after Xi Fu's name, making it obvious that they were added later. Qing He's name was in the same situation. He wondered if the fairy was being lazy or if the fairy was careless when writing the letter of introduction.
Wang Yao estimated that the fairy had probably already gotten the Heavenly Emperor to stamp the letter of introduction, but then she encountered Qinghe's new situation and was too lazy to bother the Heavenly Emperor again, so she just altered the letter of introduction and used it to fool the evil-suppressing prison.
“Indeed, the visit to Lady Zhemei in prison was added later, but the Heavenly Emperor agreed to it. You can ask if you don’t believe me…” the fairy hurriedly explained.
"Are you sure? Lady Zhemei isn't a celestial prisoner; she's clearly a demon prisoner. Given the Heavenly Emperor's perfectionist nature, would he allow such a flawed letter of introduction to leak out?" Zhao Cai interrupted the fairy, squinting as she asked.
“I’m telling the truth. The Heavenly Emperor has been in charge of the Heavenly Court for a long time, and things have changed quite a bit since then. You can ask him if you don’t believe me,” the fairy said.
"I'm just a lowly jailer, I have no connection whatsoever with the Heavenly Emperor, why would I bother asking him about this? The paperwork is incomplete, please leave." Zhao Cai stretched out his hand and poked the letter of introduction right up to the fairy's nose, directly issuing an order to leave.
“Um… Senior Zhaocai, I came in a hurry and only prepared some Heavenly Court coins, which is really a bit cliché. But since you have been staying in this place for so long, you really need to improve your life a bit…” The fairy’s face remained unchanged, but she took out a small pouch from her Qiankun.
"Come on! Do you know that this is blatant bribery? You don't want to leave, do you?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Cai waved his hand and turned hostile.
“Senior Zhaocai, look, the three of us have come all this way, and we’ve even submitted the letter of introduction personally approved by the Heavenly Emperor. Even if there are some irregularities, we’re just visiting someone in prison. Besides, with you watching over us, we can’t cause any trouble, can we?”
"The three of us are right here. Just tell us what you need, and we'll try our best to fulfill it, okay? Don't try to send us away right away." The fairy put away her small bag, but still calmly persuaded her.
After hearing what the fairy said, Zhao Cai blinked twice, then put away the letter of introduction and waved to Wang Yao. Wang Yao was still in a daze, not understanding what was going on, when the fairy gave him a push from behind.
"The Wealth-Bringing Elder needs to see you, hurry over!"
Wang Yao involuntarily took two steps forward, and Zhao Cai grabbed Wang Yao's arm, grinning at him: "Little guy, you're quite thoughtful, I like that." As he spoke, Wang Yao felt as if he were floating on clouds, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at a chaotic place.
It turned out that when Wang Yao arrived at the City of Suppressing Evil, he took the place of a "good person." Logically, his body should not be touched, but unexpectedly, Zhao Cai still managed to pull him away effortlessly.
"Senior Zhaocai, what are you doing...?" "Good person" didn't work. This wasn't the first time Wang Yao had encountered this, but he was still caught off guard and stared at Zhaocai in astonishment.
"Stop calling me senior or junior. Seniors aren't worth anything these days. Do me a favor, and I'll do you three a favor in return," Zhao Cai said.
This man is quite sensible; he doesn't rely on his age or seniority, and simply wants to do business fairly. Wang Yao nodded repeatedly, listening to Zhao Cai continue.
"You're a newly minted matchmaker, aren't you?" Zhao Cai smiled with satisfaction when he saw that Wang Yao was quite perceptive.
Wang Yao thought to himself, "I've been doing this matchmaking job for quite a while now, how am I a newbie?" However, he still nodded, knowing in his heart that for these old guys, decades or even centuries were probably just yesterday, so he shouldn't take it too seriously, lest he waste his breath.
"See that?" Zhao Cai stretched out his hand, which opened a small opening in the chaos. Wang Yao looked in the direction Zhao Cai pointed, and there was the right wall of the temple where Zhao Cai had just jumped down. Directly opposite the opening was a sculpture of a fairy playing the pipa.
Seeing Wang Yao nod, Zhao Cai loosened his grip, and the surroundings returned to chaos.
"That person is called Li Xian, and he just happened to be handing over the shift to me. Could... could..." Zhao Cai's expression suddenly became furtive, and a shy look appeared on his chubby little face. He stretched out his two chubby little fingers and hooked them together.
"Damn it, you're like a baby who hasn't been weaned yet. Can you even get things done? And you're already thinking about these kinds of frivolous ideas?" Wang Yao knew all too well about this money-making scheme, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted. He knew that if he were to get involved in this marriage, he would be ruining that fairy named Li Xian.
He just found her a lecherous son for no reason.
However… Wang Yao flipped his hand and took out the interface panel. Damn it, if an immortal doesn't act for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth. Sister Li Xian, who told me I don't know you? I'm sorry, sister. This lucky charm is chubby and quite cute. I'll just consider it finding a pet husband.
“That’s easy, but I haven’t opened the Immortal Realm interface yet. Could you please open it for me?” Wang Yao handed the interface panel to Zhao Cai. He had been in the hospital for several months and hadn’t thought to ask Cai Xia to open the Immortal Realm interface.
