Fang Jian smiled and said, "It's not too late to drink tea after receiving the punishment first."
"Okay." Huo Yi turned around and ordered his attendants, "Hurry up and prepare. Let's punish Master Hongqing as soon as possible."
"I receive the imperial decree." The attendants nodded in agreement and went to the execution platform to prepare.
...
Half an hour later, Fang Jian, who had received a hundred thunder whips and drunk a few cups of Beidi Thunder Spirit Tea, returned to the Heavenly Court.
But as soon as he stepped into the gate of the Heavenly Court, he felt something cold and sharp pressing against his back.
"Tell me, what crime have you committed?" A cold voice sounded from behind.
When Fang Jian heard this voice, a helpless look suddenly appeared on his face. "I didn't commit any crime." Fang Jian said lightly.
"Bullshit! If you didn't commit any crime, why would the Southern Emperor of Immortality punish you with a hundred thunder whips?" The cold voice said, "Tell the truth quickly."
Fang Jian said, "I haven't committed any crime, so what should I confess?"
The voice said, "Impossible, you must have committed a serious crime."
"..." Fang Jian said helplessly: "Then tell me, what crime have I committed?"
The voice said coldly: "You don't respect your superiors!"
"Disrespectful to superiors? Which superior?" Fang Jian asked.
The voice said, "It's the Shangguan behind you."
"I didn't see it." Fang Jian said, "If you didn't see it, it's not disrespectful. Ignorance is not a crime."
"You don't even look at it, isn't that disrespectful?" the voice said dissatisfiedly.
Fang Jian laughed and said, "There's a sharp magic weapon pressing against my back. How can I see? I don't have eyes on the back of my head."
"Then why don't you have eyes in the back of your head?" the voice asked.
Fang Jian laughed and said, "That doesn't make sense. Why don't you ask Nezha the Third Prince why he wasn't separated from his flesh and blood at birth? That way he wouldn't have to cut off his bones to return to his father and his flesh to return to his mother later. Wouldn't that be troublesome?"
"Ahhh!" The voice behind him lost its composure upon hearing this and shouted in exasperation, "Fang Jian, I'll stab you to death!"
However, in the next moment, Fang Jian suddenly turned around and used his magical power "Ruyi Transformation" to transform into the appearance of Nezha.
Nezha was about to stab Fang Jian's back with his flaming spear when he suddenly saw Fang Jian turn into his own appearance and turn around, causing Nezha to stop in his tracks.
"Where did you come from, you impostor? How dare you transform yourself into my appearance and cheat people in heaven?" Fang Jian took the initiative and scolded the stunned Nezha.
Nezha was a little surprised at first, but soon his face showed full of surprise. He walked around Fang Jian and nodded in praise, "Resemble, very similar."
When Nezha stopped, he looked at Fang Jian with bright eyes and said, "Your magical power... is amazing. Even I can't tell the real from the fake! It's amazing!"
Fang Jian, who had transformed into Nezha, chuckled softly, revealing two deep dimples. This surprised Nezha even more. He gave Fang Jian a thumbs-up and said, "Awesome, really awesome! Not to mention me, I'm afraid even my parents wouldn't recognize you."
Thinking of this, Nezha's expression suddenly froze, and then he clapped his hands and said, "Haha, I got it."
After saying that, Nezha immediately came forward, put his arm around Fang Jian's shoulders and said, "Xiao Fang, how about doing me a favor?"
Fang Jian changed back to his true form and asked Nezha, "What can I do for you?"
Nezha said, "Wait until my father returns from the Peach Festival. Every day, you transform into my appearance and go to see him. When he sees you, you transform back to your original appearance. Repeat this for a month."
Fang Jian stared at Nezha and said, "I'm not sick."
Nezha stretched out his hand, and the other party said, "One hundred thousand merits for one time."
Fang Jian was very tempted, as this would mean three million merits in just one month, but he knew Nezha's intention without having to think too much.
This guy always wanted to kill his father, Tota-holder Heavenly King, but Tota-holder Heavenly King had the exquisite pagoda given by Tathagata Buddha to suppress Nezha. Moreover, Tota-holder Heavenly King was extremely wary of Nezha and would never let go of the exquisite pagoda whenever he saw Nezha.
So Nezha probably wanted to become his appearance, imitating the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" to lower the vigilance of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.
But Fang Jian would never do such a thing, so Fang Jian immediately rejected Nezha in a stern manner.
Nezha was very disappointed and stared at Fang Jian with a resentful look, which made Fang Jian feel creepy.
However, this situation did not last long. Nezha quickly took out an invitation from Jie Zi's magic weapon, waved it in front of Fang Jian, and said, "Haha, Xiao Fang, look at this! This is an invitation to the Peach Festival. I'm going to the Peach Festival soon."
"..." Fang Jian rolled his eyes.
Nezha continued, "How about this? If you promise me, I'll bring you some nine thousand year old peaches. How about that?"
"No." Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "There's no way I'll go along with you."
Nezha was furious: "What do you mean by going along with the crowd? This is called fatherly love and filial piety! Don't you want to see me and my father 'clear away our old grudges and reconcile as before'?"
Fang Jian said in surprise: "Back to normal? You and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had a bad relationship from the beginning, right?" You know, when Nezha was just born, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King wanted to chop him into pieces as if he were a monster.
These words once again succeeded in angering Nezha, and he was furious. A moment later, Nezha was screaming "Wow Wow" and chasing Fang Jian around the Tianyuan Court with a flaming spear.
Zhou Zhao and Qin Yi, who had been listening to Fang Jian and Nezha's conversation in the next courtyard, exchanged glances. Qin Yi then said, "This Hongqing Master's words are even more wicked than Nezha the Third Prince's."
Master Zhou Zhao nodded and said seriously, "Nezha the Third Prince's filial piety is so touching that it moves heaven and earth. He should be included in the 'Twenty-Five Filial Piety'."
Master Qin Yi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Master Zhou Zhao. It turned out that there was someone even more wicked in front of him.
