Chapter 132 Chapter 132 I don't understand why Cang Li...
Jie didn't understand why Cang Li was shocked. Upon arriving at the South Heavenly Gate, Jie's expression turned cold. The heavenly soldiers guarding the gate exchanged glances, then stepped forward and bowed, saying:
"Greetings, Your Majesty. His Majesty is currently holding a meeting in the Lingxiao Palace. You may go there on your own."
Jie ignored the heavenly soldier and turned to Cang Li, saying, "Sister, let's go."
As Cang Li walked along, he discovered that the Heavenly Court was quite different from what it was a thousand years ago. There were many more gods and immortals, and it looked more ethereal than it had been a thousand years ago.
Giant spirits now stand guard in front of the Lingxiao Palace, along with many heavenly soldiers and generals.
As the celestial official approached the palace, he asked, "Your Majesty, what brings you here today? Do you have important matters to discuss with His Majesty?"
"Is he busy?"
The celestial official hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is free, Your Highness may enter. May I ask about these two gentlemen?"
Jie glanced at the celestial official and said, "These are the Taiqing Saint and the Cangli Saint, why aren't you moving aside?"
Just as the celestial official was about to pay his respects, Er hurried out and immediately showed a look of surprise upon seeing Cang Li:
"Sister!"
He then waved for the celestial official to step back, and then stepped forward to help Cang Li into the hall.
Jie subtly took Cang Li's hand and said with a smile:
“Sister, I’ll take you inside. I just spoke with the others. They haven’t seen you in a long time, so they should be here soon.”
After finishing, he didn't forget to say to Taiqing:
"Master, would you mind if I spoke with my sister?"
Taiqing first looked at Cangli with gentle eyes, then said to Jie:
"It's alright."
Er watched as Jie led Cang Li inside, then moved the empty hand that was being helped, before smiling and following behind:
"Sister, I was just about to visit you. I haven't congratulated you on becoming a saint yet."
Cang Li turned around and said, "You don't need to come see me. I know you're busy right now."
After entering the hall, Er led the group to the rear hall, invited Cang Li and Tai Qing to take their seats, and ordered tea to be served.
Cang Li and Jie talked for a while and learned roughly what had happened in the past thousand years.
“Sister, after we have met the crowd, why don’t you come with me to Kunlun Mountain for a few days? I clean your and the Sage’s original residence every day, and I can keep you company.”
Er, who had been silent until now, finally spoke:
“Since you’ve come all this way, why don’t you stay for a few days? I have some things I’d like to ask you for help with.”
Jie's expression instantly turned sour, and she spoke in an unfriendly tone: "What is it that requires you to trouble your elder sister? Your elder sister has just emerged from seclusion, why are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Cang Li finally realized what was going on. His eyes kept darting back and forth between Jie and Er, wondering if the two children had become enemies.
This shouldn't be happening. Everything was fine before. She was just in seclusion. What's wrong with these two kids?
Er glanced at Jie, then suddenly spoke with a hint of grievance:
"Did I ask you for help too many times before, and annoy you? It's just that this is a conflict between us. I don't want my sister to be troubled by seeing us like this. If I did something wrong, I apologize to you here and hope that we can make peace with each other."
These words were spoken very sincerely. Those who did not know the inside story would only think that as the Heavenly Emperor, he was still so considerate of old feelings and apologized so readily, which made him a very tolerant Heavenly Emperor.
There are only things that can't be said in front of Cang Li, and some things can't be said in front of him.
Pointing at Er, his voice trembled: "You! You show no remorse!"
After saying that, he said to Cang Li, "Sister! I'm going outside for a while. Let this guy finish what he has to say quickly. After he finishes, we'll leave immediately. I can't breathe in this celestial aura of the Heavenly Court!"
With the Sage of Taiqing by Cangli's side, Jie wasn't worried about what Er might do. On the contrary, she was worried that if she stayed inside any longer, she wouldn't be able to resist fighting with Er.
Cang Li: ...
Indeed, missing out on a child's growth is a very serious matter; she didn't even know why the two had fallen out.
Not long after Jie left, Ji and the others arrived, and a surprised smile immediately appeared on their faces when they saw Cang Li.
"Sister! I thought she was lying to me!" Everyone rushed into Cang Li's arms, overjoyed.
Cang Li patted the crowd on the back and said, "How old are you to still be acting like a child? Sit properly."
Just as Er was about to speak, he was interrupted by three people who suddenly entered, so he could only continue to drink his tea in silence.
After talking for a while, Cang Li noticed a rather large scar on the man's wrist. He found it strange, because people of their cultivation level shouldn't have scars even if they were injured.
The man seemed to notice Cang Li's gaze, pulled up his sleeve and said, "I accidentally got this before, and I didn't have time to remove the scar. I'm sorry for making you laugh, sister."
Cang Li smiled and shook her head, but she knew in her heart that these children were probably doing something behind her back.
Only then did Er speak:
“Sister, since you and the Sage have come together, I happen to have something I need your help with.”
Cang Li looked at Er, and seeing Er's serious expression, said:
"Tell me first."
Er looked at Taiqing, and seeing that Taiqing had no objection, said:
"This matter is not my private affair, but concerns the Heavenly Court. Currently, the 365 righteous gods of the Heavenly Court have not yet returned to their positions, and the Heavenly Court system is incomplete. If this continues, I am afraid there will be another period of chaos. Therefore, I would like to ask the Sage Taiqing if he has any solutions?"
Taiqing's heart stirred, and he finally understood what the Investiture of the Gods given by Hongjun was for.
Cang Li knew what was going on, but it wasn't appropriate for her to say it, so she also looked at Tai Qing.
Taiqing said, "Heaven has its own destiny. Just wait, someone will fill the vacant position."
Er's expression visibly relaxed considerably, and he smiled as he said:
"With these words from the sage, I can rest assured."
Cang Li thought to herself that the Investiture of the Gods was ultimately none of her business, and she couldn't interfere with it. She did want to ask Fu Qu how she was doing, and what had happened between Jie and Er.
Taiqing stood up and said, "Ali, is there anything else? If not, we should go back."
Cang Li nodded in agreement and said to Er:
"I won't bother you anymore. I'll come see you when you're done with your work."
Er shook his head: "Sister didn't bother me. Sister has come all this way, why don't you stay a few more days before you leave?"
Cang Li shook his head: "No, the Taoist priest and I have other matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer."
Er looked at Cang Li obediently and said, "Then I'll see you off, Sister."
Cang Li laughed and said, "What are you going to give me? I'm not a child anymore. You don't need to see me off. Let everyone else see me off. By the way, has Fu Qu returned to the East Sea?"
Er paused for a moment upon hearing Cang Li's question, and said somewhat awkwardly:
"Did not return to the East China Sea."
Cang Li: "Hmm? Why didn't you go back to the East Sea?"
Er thought for a moment and explained to Cang Li:
"The East Sea has not been peaceful for the past thousand years. Mo did not take Fuqu back, saying that he would let Fuqu go back after the internal strife in the East Sea was quelled."
Cang Li sighed and said, "Then I'll go see Fu Qu before I leave."
Seeing this, Er wanted to go with Cang Li, but Cang Li turned around and refused: "I don't need you to come with me. I'll have everyone come with me. We'll leave after we see Fuqu. Don't bother."
Er stopped in his tracks and saw Cang Li walking away without looking back, his face darkening.
Jie came over from the side and sneered:
"Your older sister only treats you like her own child. She won't give you a second glance. Keep your little schemes to yourself and don't try anything with your older sister."
Er glanced at Jie and said calmly, "Looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet. Do you want to turn into a beast?"
He snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm still the same person I used to be? One day I'll personally send you on your way."
Er turned and walked back, saying as he went, "Then let's see what you're capable of."
Jie gritted his teeth in hatred, and the man patted Jie's shoulder and whispered:
"Don't let my older sister know. She'll think it's because she sent Er to the demon race that things are like this now."
Jie let out a breath: "I know, my sister is a saint now, and your strength is undeniable. I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried that you might use some underhanded tricks."
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "No matter what, you wouldn't use such methods on my sister, would you?"
Jie sneered, "Who knows? He's scheming against even you and me, why would he care about my sister?"
Leaving aside Yu and Zhong, the three of them were born around the same time. They depended on each other for survival even before their older sister became intelligent, enduring hunger and cold together. Later, after their older sister's spirit returned to her body, they continued to live together and grow up together. Logically speaking, their relationship was closer than that of any other creature in the world.
But you shouldn't have had other thoughts about their older sister. If Cang Li and Tai Qing weren't together, you wouldn't have reacted so strongly to this.
However, Er knew that Cangli and Taiqing were together, but still harbored dark intentions and wanted to sabotage them. She even had the idea of imprisoning Cangli in the Heavenly Court forever. Jie could not tolerate this. After learning about Er's thoughts, she fought with Er and later took advantage of her unpreparedness to transform her into a human-faced beast, and even tried to control her.
Jie appears gentle, but he is unyielding at heart. So Jie went straight to Kunlun Mountain and never came to the Heavenly Court again until Cang Li came out of seclusion this time.
Regarding the injuries on his hands, his expression softened somewhat, and he asked me:
"How's the injury on your hand lately?" I asked Yu now because he never said anything when I asked him before.
Mr. Yu answered honestly, "It's still the same. The scars always hurt, and I can't calm down."
Someone interrupted me:
"It's not that serious. The medicine you sent me last time worked very well, and I'm much better now."
Jie grabbed the man's hand and pulled up his sleeve to take a look. The scar ran from three inches above the elbow to the wrist. The scar on the wrist looked normal, but further up, it turned black and even showed signs of decay and erosion.
Upon seeing the scar, Jie frowned: "Didn't that guy notice your scar at all? You almost lost your hand when you took that knife for him. Even a god would be in trouble without a hand."
"Your injury doesn't look any better. I'll go back and study some healing pills."
At this point, I said, "Why don't you ask the Taoist priest for a pill?"
Indeed, asking Taiqing for a pill is much faster than researching it yourself.
Jie and Ji said in unison, "No, we can't let the Taoist priest and my sister know."
I had no choice but to shut up, thinking to myself that I should go back and find some spiritual herbs that could dispel yin energy to make medicine for Jie to heal his injuries.
