"A fifth-rank heavenly official, a local lord, given the title 'Hongqing'." Nezha looked at Fang Jian, who had become a fifth-rank immortal official, with eyes full of uncontrollable envy.
"The High Envoy is so biased! I also want to be banished to the lower realms, even if it means demoting me to a first-rank immortal official!" Nezha's face was full of resentment, "I don't want to stay in the Heavenly Palace every day, it's so boring."
Fang Jian had just been rewarded and promoted, but his good mood had been ruined since he saw Nezha. Hearing Nezha's words, Fang Jian had no choice but to calm down and look at him and said, "Third Prince, why don't you ask the Grand Master to grant you a post outside the capital?"
Nezha sighed and said, "I have asked the Grand Envoy for help a long time ago, but he always rejected me."
At this point, he complained again, "How have I accomplished less than you? Why can you be granted a title while I can't?"
Fang Jian felt a surge of resentment rising towards him as he heard this. He didn't realize that Nezha was about to vent his anger on him, so he quickly said, "Third Prince, you are wrong. It is precisely because the Third Prince has great magical powers and is a top-notch god in the Heavenly Court that he can be sealed away casually."
"I've heard this from others many times. I don't care. I just want to be sealed away." Nezha said this and suddenly said to Fang Jian, "Did you do a favor for the Lord?"
Fang Jian was stunned when he heard this, "What favor?"
"You're the one who gave gifts to the great envoy, aren't you?!" Nezha glared at Fang Jian. "Well, I never thought a mountain god like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would engage in such a thing!"
Fang Jian was speechless after hearing this. He looked at Nezha, who was indignant, and immediately felt that he should do something.
Fang Jian then laughed and said, "Third Prince, you said this without even thinking about it. Who is the Grand Envoy? Who am I, Fang Jian? I'm lucky enough not to ask the Grand Envoy for a reward. What else could possibly catch the Grand Envoy's eye?"
Nezha thought about it carefully and said, "That's right. I've offered treasures to the Grand Envoy before, including dragon tendons and phoenix bones, but the Grand Envoy was never satisfied."
Fang Jian was shocked when he heard this, and immediately understood the real reason why Nezha could not be sealed outside.
Good man, if we banish you, I'm afraid that in a few years dragons and phoenixes will become rare animals. Besides, Nezha is so prone to causing trouble, and by then the Heavenly Court will have to clean up his mess everywhere.
"Then tell me, what is the reason?" Nezha raised his head and asked Fang Jian.
At the same time, a flaming spear was pointed at Fang Jian's stomach. "If you can't explain it, I'll stab you."
Fang Jian smiled faintly, gently raised his hand to grab the tip of the fire spear and lifted it up. The scorching flames burned Fang Jian's five fingers, instantly burning them black.
But Fang Jian didn't scream or shout, and even his expression didn't change. He just shook his hands lightly, and then the magic power in his body continuously flowed to his five fingers to heal the wounds.
"When the Third Prince asked to be appointed as the Grand Envoy, had he decided where he wanted to be appointed? What official position would he hold?" Fang Jian asked.
Nezha blinked upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "I never said that. I simply asked the Grand Master to banish me to a distant place. The specific location will naturally be decided by the Grand Master."
Fang Jian shook his head and said, "That's the reason. You're asking for a promotion outside the capital, but you haven't said where you'll be serving. If I were the Lord, I wouldn't pay any attention to you."
"Oh?" Nezha said with a hint of understanding but also a bit of doubt: "Is that so?"
Fang Jian said, "That must be the case. You see, I am the God of Broken Boundary Mountain. I have been operating in Broken Boundary Mountain for more than half a year and have built many Taoist temples. I believe that the Great Lord saw this and sealed me in Broken Boundary Mountain."
Nezha's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "I was wondering why you weren't doing your job building so many houses. So you were waiting for this. Thank you. I understand. I'll go and ask the Grand Emissary for a title right away."
After saying that, Nezha's feet were as fast as the wind. He instantly left Fang Jian behind and headed straight for the Taixuan Palace.
When Fang Jian saw Nezha heading towards the Taixuan Palace, he quickly turned around and headed straight for the Beitian Gate. After leaving the Beitian Gate, he flew back to Xihuazhou on his sword without stopping.
The Queen Mother of the West gave him ten days to arrange matters at the Broken Boundary Mountain, and then he had to report to the Heavenly Court.
...
It is said that Nezha ran all the way to the Taixuan Hall. The boy at the door saw Nezha running towards him and shouted hurriedly, "Stop, let me report."
The boys in heaven were afraid of Nezha. Except for the Taoist palaces of the Jade Emperor and the Four Imperial Gods, he dared not enter without permission. He could enter the Taoist palaces of other gods as he pleased. Although he would be punished and scolded afterwards, he still did as he pleased.
The gatekeeper boy of Taixuan Hall was badly tricked by him. Nezha rushed into Taixuan Hall at least seven or eight times, without giving the boys any chance to report.
Although Nezha would be scolded by the Queen Mother of the West every time, he was the type of person who admitted his mistakes but made the same mistake again the next time. It can be said that he was incorrigible.
In the Taixuan Hall, Wenshi Zhenren and Guan Yu had both left, leaving only Jiutian Xuannu and Wushan Niangniang drinking tea and chatting.
Speaking of recent events, Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu was quite helpless. "Although the Three Realms no longer have the conflicts between powerful beings that they once had, things are becoming increasingly complicated and tedious."
Sun Wukong's rampage in Heaven can be said to mark the end of an era. What era? An era when powerful beings frequently fought against heaven and earth.
Sun Wukong is undoubtedly the last representative of that era. Ever since he made a big fuss in Heaven and went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, nothing has happened in the Three Realms that was worthy of Heaven's quarrel except for the occasional demons that popped up from time to time.
