"No, absolutely not!" The one who pushed through the crowd to stop them was the Supreme Lord Lao Zi.
Yang Xue curled her lips. The Supreme Lord Lao Zi should be a sensible man.
"Your Majesty the Jade Emperor, we need to deliberate on this matter further," said the Supreme Lord Lao Zi, flicking his whisk. Seemingly casually, he swept it across Sun Wukong. "Things have escalated to this point. We must not continue making mistakes. I beg Your Majesty to issue an order to set Sun Wukong free!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the reactions of the crowd were diverse. Everyone had their own thoughts and whispered to each other.
The Jade Emperor glared at the Supreme Lord Lao Zi, but quickly regained his composure. For the time being, the only way was to appease Sun Wukong. If this matter reached the Buddha Tathagata, the conflict between them and the Western Paradise would be out in the open. This was indeed an unwise move.
However, the Jade Emperor was reluctant. He had originally thought that he could capture Sun Wukong today. Then he wouldn't have to find the Six - Eared Macaque to stage the drama of the True and False Sun Wukong and go through all that trouble to kill Sun Wukong. He had long reached an agreement with the Buddha Tathagata. When the time was right, they would get rid of the real Sun Wukong.
No matter how carefully he had planned, he never expected that Sun Wukong's golden hoop had been unlocked. It seemed that a variable had emerged, and the situation had developed beyond control.
He didn't know who that saint was, who had secretly established a connection with Sun Wukong. Presumably, the White Bone Spirit had also joined his camp. The opportunity to deal with her had passed.
For now, he had no choice but to compromise with Sun Wukong.
While he was deep in thought, Yang Xue saw Prince Nezha holding his Fire - tipped Spear and escorting the Tang Monk and his disciples into the hall.
The White Dragon Horse had transformed into a graceful young gentleman. The two dragon horns on his head made him look cute.
Looking at Prince Nezha again, he seemed accustomed to the situation in the hall. He even showed a bit of schadenfreude inadvertently.
Indeed, Nezha used to be a hot - blooded young man. Now that he encountered such a situation, he must have resonated with it. He might even want to stir things up and make the situation more chaotic.
Sure enough, seeing this situation, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but have a headache. He subconsciously raised his hand and angrily pointed at Nezha. "Who told you to bring them here!"
Didn't he see that they were in the middle of negotiations? Now Sun Wukong had an even stronger case.
Nezha spread his hands innocently. "Wasn't it Your Majesty who ordered me to..."
"Silence!" The Jade Emperor was so angry that he flicked his beard. He shouldn't have sent Nezha. This guy always loved to watch the fun!
Yang Xue's eyes were fixed on Nezha. Was this guy really good friends with Ao Bing?
He exuded an air of nobility. His almond - shaped eyes were full of arrogance. On his young face, those almond - shaped eyes were particularly eye - catching. He was looking at the frowning Jade Emperor playfully.
Suddenly, his eyes turned cold and he looked in Yang Xue's direction. He tightened his grip on his Fire - tipped Spear and walked towards her.
Oh no, he had noticed her!
Yang Xue quickly hid behind a pillar. Presumably, her direct gaze had triggered his body's instinctive alertness.
"Miss, if you stare at someone for too long, it will attract attention," a man suddenly appeared beside her and communicated with her through spiritual consciousness.
Yang Xue was startled. She turned her head and saw a tall man in golden armor with a third eye on his forehead looking obliquely at her.
"Yang Jian?" She stared at that third eye that was looking at her. The other two eyes were looking straight ahead. With such obvious features, who else could it be but him?
Had he recognized her true form? Even the Fiery Golden Eyes couldn't see through her true form. Why could Yang Jian?
"Don't worry. My eyes are different from Sun Wukong's Fiery Golden Eyes. I'm the only one in this hall who can see you. Since you entered, you've been staring at Sun Wukong with admiration and infatuation. Rumor has it that Sun Wukong has been captivated by a White Bone Fairy. Now that I've seen you in person, you're really worthy of the reputation. You do have that ability," he said with a faint smile on his more three - dimensional and handsome face than that of Joe Ma. His smile was awe - inspiring.
Wow! This trip was really worth it! Even if she was caught by the Buddha Tathagata, she would have no regrets. The handsome men in the Heavenly Court were so good - looking!
"Miss, please don't stare at me like this. Otherwise, I might be captivated by your amorous eyes. Sun Wukong will surely not let me off. A gentleman does not take what others love, but when he meets a beauty, he can't help but be a little tempted," he said without looking sideways, gently and humorously. Yang Xue was hit by the super charm of this handsome man!
Yang Xue covered her mouth and couldn't help but want to scream. "The True Lord Erlang is really as famous as the rumors. I didn't expect you to be so humorous and interesting. Nice to meet you. I have an impertinent request. Could I trouble you to sign your name here?"
Aah! I'm going to die! He's so handsome! Although he was even more outstanding than the actor who played him on TV, his image was very similar. This face in front of her was more like a modeled face, with a more sharp - looking between his eyebrows and less amorous.
Although he was a bit inferior to Sun Wukong, their styles were very different, each with their own kind of domineering. Looking at such a face, Yang Xue felt that she could get drunk without even drinking.
She took out a pen and paper from her Qiankun Bag and handed them to him with both hands.
She looked like an excited and fanatical little girl, staring directly at him. "Please sign your name, True Lord Erlang. I've heard many stories about you and I admire you very much. This can be a souvenir."
True Lord Erlang turned to look at her. Stared at by this smiling face, although he didn't understand her actions, it was hard to refuse such a request. He reached out and took them.
Sun Wukong was originally negotiating with the Jade Emperor. Suddenly, he heard Yang Xue's excited voice. It seemed that she was talking to someone. He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him!
Yang Jian could actually see her!
This was outrageous! The pen and paper in his hand looked very familiar. They were the ones that Yang Xue had handed to him when they first met...
She was flirting with another man again! And right in front of him!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a dull sound. The hall shook. A few pieces of stone fell from the already dilapidated dome, and the dust drifted down rustlingly!
Just now, Sun Wukong had been calm and said that he could accept taking a long vacation. He didn't want to mention the journey to the West for the time being. He was satisfied with the compensation from the Jade Emperor and was about to return to the Flower - Fruit Mountain. But suddenly, he flew into a rage and rushed towards Yang Jian like a furious animal!
Zhu Bajie, standing not far away, couldn't help but mutter. "Master, is Brother Monkey jealous?"
Tang Seng's eyebrows relaxed. He said with a half - smile. "Maybe."
He had inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pen and paper in Yang Jian's hand. It seemed to be the same small notebook that Miss Bai would take out when asking for a signature...
That gaudy cover was unique. He would never mistake it.
Everyone's eyes followed Sun Wukong. They saw him standing in front of Yang Jian menacingly, glaring at him extremely angrily.
They were communicating through spiritual consciousness. It seemed that Sun Wukong's golden cudgel would fall on Yang Jian at any moment!
"You can see her?"
"Yes."
"Yang Xue, were you asking him for his signature?"
"Um..." Yang Xue trembled, tightly clutching the small notebook in her hand. "I've long heard of his name. It's rare to meet him. I just asked for a signature..."
"Just that? Do you still want to do the same thing as before, saying that you've admired him for a long time and saying some embarrassing things to seduce him?" Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and accused. "Yang Xue, did you lie to me just to save yourself back then?"
"..." It was true, but she had also been sincere later.
But she didn't dare to explain, for fear that she would be beaten to death on the spot!
