When Guan Yu returned to Heaven and went to Taisu Palace to meet Fang Jian, the guard said, "Reporting to Xie Tian Zhenjun, Emperor Hongqing is not in Taisu Palace today."
Guan Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked, "Where did Emperor Hongqing go?"
The celestial soldier said, "Recently, the Jade Pool Mother of West Kunlun has selected some new fairies to supplement the female officials of the Jade Purity Palace of Taiwei. The Empress Wushan is currently testing these fairies at the Xingliu Terrace. Emperor Hongqing, invited by the Jade Luan Empress, has gone to the Xingliu Terrace to observe the ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu said, "Hasn't the number of female immortals in Taiwei Yuqing Palace always been sufficient? Why do we need to add more?"
The celestial soldier said, "True Lord Xie Tian may not know this, but thanks to the great graciousness of the Jade Emperor, any female immortals who wish to resign from their official positions and descend to the mortal world can do so as long as they have served for ten thousand years and have received excellent evaluations. They will be allowed to resign their official positions and descend to the mortal world as free immortals."
At this point, the celestial soldier looked around and then added in a low voice, "This is also to prevent fairies from always wanting to descend to the mortal world. It's better to give them a deadline. When the deadline is up, they can resign and descend to the mortal world as wandering immortals."
"I see." Guan Yu nodded and said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, be merciful."
Among these fairies in heaven, very few have cultivated themselves from the lower realms. Most of them are inspired by the essence of immortal spirits, or are holy maidens on earth who directly became fairies after their death. It is the same principle as the promotion of immortal officials.
This is why most fairies have a desire to return to the mortal world, and because their lives, fairy positions and even everything are given by the Heavenly Court, they have no freedom except being fairies in the Heavenly Court.
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Then I will come to Taisu Palace to see you in a day or two."
The celestial soldier hurriedly called out, "True Lord Xie Tian, please take care."
Guan Yu turned his head to look at the heavenly soldiers and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The celestial soldier said, "Emperor Hongqing has said that if you have important matters, you can go directly to Xingliutai to see him. There are no restrictions there."
Hearing this, Guan Yu smiled and said, "I see. Thank you for the reminder. I will go to Xingliu Terrace to meet Emperor Hongqing now."
Afterwards, Guan Yu left Taisu Palace with the respectful farewell of the heavenly soldiers and headed towards Xingliutai.
Xingliutai is located in Taiyuan Shangqing Palace, which is the Taiyuan Shangqing Palace where Fang Jian was originally in charge of the "Haotian Palace".
At the same time, it was on this Xingliu Terrace that Fang Jian was drunk by the former Taiyin Star Lord.
However, although the Xingliu Terrace today was not as lively as in the past, it was still covered with scented curtains and rolled up pearl curtains. The jade platform at the top of the Xingliu Terrace was half covered by rows of jade-white bamboo curtains, and only three people could be vaguely seen sitting in it.
The two people at the top sit side by side, and there is another person sitting below them.
Around the Xingliu Terrace, there are rows of female fairies playing fairy music. They manipulate various musical instruments and play one enchanting fairy music after another.
In the center of the Xingliu Terrace are the newly selected fairies. They are dressed in different fairy clothes and skirts. Amidst the fairy music around them, they try their best to twist their beautiful bodies and perform graceful and beautiful dances.
Fang Jian was wearing a Mirojinque Taoist robe, his right arm slightly leaning on the table, and with his left hand he picked up a crystal clear grape from the jade plate and put it in his mouth.
As Fang Jian felt the soft, juicy flesh of the grape fruit melt in his mouth, his thoughts suddenly jumped from the fairyland to the underworld.
Yes, the underworld. Recently, the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor has submitted the "Yin Law" of the underworld to the Shenlei Jade Palace.
Sun Wukong convened another meeting in the Supreme Jade Spirit Palace and reviewed the entire "Yin Law" with the Four Emperors of Lingxiao.
However, Fang Jian believed that there were still many omissions and unclear things in the "Yin Law". However, because he was not an immortal official from the underworld system, he did not rashly put forward his opinions, but kept thinking about it on his own.
Just as Fang Jian was thinking about the Yin Law, he suddenly heard a voice calling out, "Fang Jian, Fang Jian."
Fang Jian came back to his senses and turned around to look, only to see Yu Luan's phoenix eyes looking at him with concern, so he smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
Yu Luan asked, "What were you thinking about just now? Why were you so engrossed?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Just some small things, what's wrong?"
Yu Luan raised her hand and pointed to a little fairy on the right side of the fairies dancing in the middle of the Xingliu Terrace below and said, "Look at her. I think she dances the best."
Fang Jian looked up and smiled. This little fairy looked very young. Although Fang Jian could tell at a glance that her bone age was over 200 years old, her face was that of a 13 or 14-year-old girl.
She was wearing a dark green fairy dress, with only four pieces of veil covering her from the knees down, faintly revealing her small, snow-white legs. When she danced, she jumped around like a little rabbit, which was very cute.
"It's okay." Fang Jian just took a look and looked away, then picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
Seeing Fang Jian like this, Yu Luan's smile faded slightly and she said, "Fang Jian, I saw you were busy sitting in Tai Su Palace every day, so I took you here today to watch the fairies sing and dance to relax. Don't you like it?"
Fang Jian was slightly surprised when he heard this, then quickly put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I like it, the fairy music and dance, of course I like it."
After saying that, Fang Jian sat up straight and looked at the Xingliu Platform again, carefully examining it.
Yu Luan then smiled again and unnoticeably moved closer to Fang Jian, stopping only when their arms touched.
Meanwhile, Yao Ji, the Empress Wushan, who was serving in the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, was completely unaware of what was happening behind her. After watching a dance, she picked up a jade tablet from the jade table in front of her and said, "Change the tune, and play 'Nine Songs'."
