"Go to...the Buddhist Kingdom?" Wang Yao was completely baffled.
“Father, this is what happened…” Seeing that Hui Shuo’s words were incoherent, Lü Bu hurriedly added, “After we parted ways at the City of Shooting Suns, I went to find my brother Hui Shuo as instructed by you…”
"Who is your brother? I am a respectable Buddhist disciple..." Hui Shuo glared at Lü Bu, his face flushed.
"After making inquiries from various sources, I discovered that my younger brother, Hui Shuo, had already left the divine realm and gone to the Buddhist kingdom. I had no choice but to go to the Buddhist kingdom as well, and even shaved my head to enter the Buddhist paradise. There I met my younger brother, Hui Shuo, and his master. The younger brother's master said that my father was facing a great calamity in the ocean realm..."
Lu Bu continued speaking to Wang Yao.
“Lying! Breaking the precepts! You were clearly ordained, but you returned to secular life as soon as you left the Buddhist kingdom. What kind of talk is that?” Hui Shuo muttered angrily from the side.
Lu Bu completely ignored Hui Shuo and continued talking on his own. It was clear that he had already figured out the trick to getting along with Hui Shuo along the way. As long as he ignored the little monk, Hui Shuo would have no way to deal with him.
"...My brother's master also said that he hopes Father can take refuge in the Three Jewels. The Buddhist realm has a firm faith, is based on compassion, and acts with integrity. It is far less complicated than the celestial realm or the Heavenly Court. As long as Father is devoted to Buddhism, no one will bully Father..."
"When my brother and I heard that our father was in danger, we were extremely anxious and wanted to rush to the Celestial Realm immediately. However, Hui Shuo's master said that Hui Shuo might not be able to enter the Celestial Realm on his own, so he asked Buddha for the title of ambassador of the Buddhist Kingdom, so that he could represent the Buddhist Kingdom on a mission to the Heavenly Court..."
"...When we arrived at the Heavenly Court, we first went to the Women's Federation, only to find out that Father had indeed gotten into a huge mess in the foreign lands. However, Mr. Wei Zheng said that he was planning to rescue Father and asked my brother and me to come to the Evil Suppression Prison to inform Father..."
"...Mr. Wei Zheng asked Father to be patient. He will come to visit Father in the prison once he has made the necessary arrangements. He also instructed my brother Hui Shuo to go directly to the Jade Emperor's Palace to obtain the necessary permits for visiting Father in prison," said Lü Bu.
"Jade Emperor Palace, you saw the Heavenly Emperor?" Wang Yao looked at Hui Shuo in astonishment.
“I was originally going to submit the Buddhist documents to the Heavenly Emperor, but because I was afraid my parents would be in danger, I went to the Women’s Federation first after entering the Immortal Realm instead of the Jade Emperor’s Palace.”
"Later, I listened to Wei Zheng's advice and went to see the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor was very kind. He told me to tell you to stay put and not worry, that nothing would happen," Hui Shuo nodded.
"Then... Miss Diao Chan, you...?" Wang Yao asked Diao Chan.
“That’s how it is…” Lu Bu hurriedly answered. “We heard from the Women’s Federation that Mr. Wei Zheng was planning to rescue Father, so we asked him if he had any good ideas. Mr. Wei Zheng said that he was a lowly immortal and his words carried little weight, so he didn’t really have any good ideas. He could only create some public opinion in the Heavenly Court.”
"To gain the sympathy of the immortals for Father and force the Heavenly Court to act cautiously in dealing with Father, so as not to be too hasty, I immediately thought of Miss Diaochan. Anyway, there's no use in me following Brother Huishuo to see the Heavenly Emperor, so I might as well go to Miss Diaochan to help Father create some public opinion."
"Miss Diao Chan heard that her father was imprisoned in the Zhenxie Prison and wanted to visit him. Fortunately, the Emperor himself granted Brother Hui Shuo a visit permit with no limit on the number of people allowed, so we came together."
"Wang Xian...are you...alright?" Diao Chan asked, staring at Wang Yao.
"I'm fine, how about you...?" Wang Yao had a guilty conscience. He knew that Lu Bu's visit to Diao Chan was obviously a pretext for personal gain and that his motives were impure. Diao Chan was incredibly intelligent and would probably see through his scheme, and that he might even come to hate Wang Yao as well.
“I’m fine. I informed Shishi and Feng Huan on my way here, and they said they wanted to come see you too. Teacher Luo and Zhaojun are from the same unit as you, so I don’t think they would stand idly by and do nothing about your situation,” Diao Chan said.
"Feng Huan? Wasn't he missing?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"Oh... He was in a bad mood because he didn't advance to Mahayana, so he wandered around the Six Realms for a while, which caused him to miss the deadline to report back to Heaven. He has received some minor punishment and is still working at his original unit. He was very surprised to hear that you had an accident," Diao Chan said.
Wang Yao thought to himself, "If he knew I was in trouble, he'd probably be overjoyed, not surprised. This is clearly a lie Diao Chan told to appease him."
"Father, Mother, don't hesitate any longer. I'll shave your heads first, and then we'll go to the Buddhist Kingdom." Seeing that Diao Chan and Lü Bu weren't getting to the point, Hui Shuo hurriedly interjected.
“Brother, you are still too young. Do you think Father can go to the Buddhist Kingdom just because he has shaved his head? Has the Heavenly Emperor agreed?” Before Wang Yao could speak, Lü Bu preemptively attacked.
"The Heavenly Emperor didn't agree, but my master did!" Hui Shuo exclaimed, his eyes wide.
"What good is your master's promise? Where is he now? Father can't even get out of this Evil-Suppressing Prison, let alone the Buddhist Kingdom. You should just give up." Lu Bu shook his head repeatedly.
"My master..."
As Hui Shuo and Lü Bu were arguing, "slap slap slap..." The sound of slapping rang out again in the garden space.
Zhao Cai frowned and reluctantly left. Wang Yao looked at Diao Chan, wanting to ask her opinion on Lü Bu, but he didn't know how to start. Why was Lü Bu so concerned about him? Wasn't it because he wanted her to help him and Diao Chan get together?
But... if Diao Chan doesn't have a good impression of Lü Bu, then he can't arrange this marriage. But if he resolutely refuses to arrange the marriage, Lü Bu will definitely not let him off the hook. Wang Yao couldn't help but feel a headache.
Just as he was at his wit's end, Zhao Cai led a male and a female immortal into the garden. Wang Yao saw that one was Li Shishi and the other was Feng Huan.
