Sun Wukong’s face was cold and harsh, glaring fiercely at Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng, but in his heart, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the Leader of Tongtian had opened a spatial channel and sent him into the room. Otherwise, he might really have fallen victim to that dead fat pig Zhu Tianpeng!

As for Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng, Sun Wukong had already been very patient. This was all because of their past brotherhood. Otherwise, with Sun Wukong’s temperament, he would have taught this dead fat pig a lesson long ago, allowing him to rampage until now?

However, that brotherhood aside, in this life, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng had no relationship with Sun Wukong at all. Even if the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures were to continue in the future, Sun Wukong was certain he would not be the Monkey King used by Buddha Jade Emperor anymore. It could be said that Zhu Tianpeng and Sun Wukong basically wouldn’t be in the same boat in this life, and there was no question of brotherhood. Sun Wukong had tolerated him once or twice, but he could not keep tolerating him, lest Zhu Tianpeng really think Sun Wukong was afraid of him!

“I, this, this…”

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng was dumbfounded, he truly hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to appear here. He was certain that Sun Wukong had not been at the Naval Marshal’s Mansion of the Heavenly River before, but now, here he was standing right in front of him, having walked out from the house. The words he had just said were heard clearly and plainly by Sun Wukong. Now, it seemed the monkey was livid!

“Great Saint, Great Saint, please hold your anger for a moment and receive the imperial edict first!”

Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to act and settle his score with Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng, the imperial envoy quickly came out to mediate, passing the imperial edict from the Jade Emperor to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong snorted coldly, suppressing his intent to settle the account with Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng for the moment. He took the imperial edict and glanced at it. It was generally summoning him to the Jade Pool, but it didn’t specify the matter. Clearly, this imperial edict was truly just a test, an excuse to see if he was in the Naval Marshal’s Mansion of the Heavenly River. If he hadn’t been there, the Jade Emperor would have directly pinned the crime of rescuing the Demonic Beast Taotie on him.

“Fine, your old Sun will go see the Jade Emperor and see what he has to say! Dead fat pig, you wait, our business isn’t over! Your old Sun will come back and settle things with you slowly!”

With a cold snort, Sun Wukong strode out of the Naval Marshal’s Mansion of the Heavenly River, soaring on clouds towards the Jade Pool, with no intention of waiting for the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy and Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng exchanged glances for a while, then, with a sympathetic expression, said, “Marshal Tianpeng, take good care of yourself… Ah!”

With a sigh, the imperial envoy also headed towards the Naval Marshal’s Mansion of the Heavenly River, not saying much more, but the implication was clear. With Sun Wukong’s strength, considering how gravely Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng had offended him this time, it was easy to guess how violent Sun Wukong’s retaliation would be!@@novelbin@@

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng was in big trouble!

“No, no, this monkey has even beaten Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing and can contend with Ran Deng Buddha; how could I possibly be his match? I need to think of a plan!”

Watching the imperial envoy’s figure disappear outside the gate, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng’s expression immediately fell, his face filled with anxiety. Sun Wukong had been in the Heavenly Court for three years now, and Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng had already gathered clear information about Sun Wukong’s deeds, especially the fierce battle between him and Ran Deng Buddha during the great battle at Flower-Fruit Mountain. Although it wasn’t entirely comprehensive, it was enough to show how freakishly strong Sun Wukong was. Ran Deng Buddha, a Half-Step Saint of the Buddhist Sect, past Buddha of Western Heaven, had fought Sun Wukong to a standstill. How many in the Heavenly Court could truly suppress Sun Wukong?

Definitely not Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng. Facing Sun Wukong, he had no chance of winning at all. If Sun Wukong was bent on settling scores, then he was truly in trouble. The Jade Emperor certainly wouldn’t protect him, let alone the Queen Mother!

After pacing back and forth several times, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng suddenly stamped his foot and clenched his teeth, a fierce look crossing his eyes, “At this point, I can only go and beg Emperor Donghua. I hope that stinking monkey will give Emperor Donghua some face!”

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng left the Naval Marshal’s Mansion of the Heavenly River and soared on clouds towards the Immortal Palace of Donghua Emperor.

In the Jade Pond Water Pavilion, within the bedroom of the Queen Mother.

“Jade Emperor, you summoned your old Sun here, what is it about?”

Sun Wukong squatted at the long table, glancing sideways at the Jade Emperor sitting in the main seat, his tone quite unfriendly. He was very clear about the Jade Emperor’s intentions. If it hadn’t been for the fact that it wasn’t the time to turn against the Heavenly Court, he would have swung his staff at the Jade Emperor the moment he saw him!

Of course, a very important reason why Sun Wukong could be so rational and refrain from acting was that the Queen Mother was sitting right there!

“Wukong, watch your tone when you speak!”

The Queen Mother slightly furrowed her brows when she saw that Sun Wukong neither saluted nor greeted the Jade Emperor upon meeting, and even spoke with a disrespectful tone. It greatly displeased her, for the Jade Emperor Hao Tian was her Taoist companion and the lord of the Heavenly Court, the nominal ruler of the Three Realms. Sun Wukong’s behavior was truly impolite!

“No harm, no harm! Wukong is unversed in proper rituals, we need not fuss over these trivial formalities, hehe, hehe!”

The Jade Emperor, slightly embarrassed, chuckled and tried to mediate. He knew exactly why Sun Wukong was behaving this way—who could blame him for suspecting Sun Wukong and then foolishly using an imperial summons to test him? Now that Sun Wukong had arrived, he found himself unable to justify why he had summoned Sun Wukong, which was indeed very awkward!

“Jade Emperor, why on earth did you call me here? Just because Zhu Tianpeng whispered in your ear that Taotie was released and rescued by me, you believed it without question? You even had someone test if I was absent from the Naval Marshal’s Mansion at the Heavenly River, planning to pin this dirty water straight onto my head?”

Sun Wukong questioned without any hint of politeness, yet secretly sneered in his heart. So what if Taotie was released and rescued by him? So what? Did the Jade Emperor have any evidence? Without evidence, despite his suspicions, what could he do to Sun Wukong? Even being the Jade Emperor, he would still have to offer apologies with a smile!

“Misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding! I have never doubted you!”

Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s questioning, the Jade Emperor began sweating profusely. This misconduct might be forgivable elsewhere, but it had happened right in the Jade Pool, in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had hinted several times before, advising the Jade Emperor not to believe in baseless rumors and had secured promises—from him. Now, it was like being caught red-handed in front of the Queen Mother, a direct slap to the face!

As expected, the Queen Mother’s brows furrowed upon hearing this, and her gaze towards the Jade Emperor grew frosty. The Jade Emperor inwardly cursed his luck, for if anyone in the Heavenly Court could truly hold him in check, it was indeed only the Queen Mother!

The martial union between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother was decreed by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. With the Queen Mother’s formidable influence and strength within the Three Realms, she was the best support to help the Jade Emperor intimidate the immortals and gods. Initially, it was the Queen Mother’s deterrence that led the celestial community to honor the Jade Emperor as the sovereign of the Three Realms, at least outwardly showing respect. During the later Celestial Demon Wars, the Queen Mother also exerted significant effort to help establish the Heavenly Court’s foundation, thereby solidifying the Jade Emperor’s authority in front of the immortals and gods of the Three Realms.

Towards the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor felt both reverence and fear, especially now that he was in the wrong!

“I really never doubted Wukong. This time I called him over merely, um, just to inquire about his situation in the Heavenly River Navy, purely out of concern, absolute concern!”

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the Jade Emperor fervently explained, “Wukong, the matter between you and Zi Lan has reached my ears. Zi Lan is the Queen Mother’s favorite attendant, and we have already discussed adopting her as a foster daughter during the Peach of Immortality Banquet. My concern for her naturally extends to you as well, and is definitely not about believing in rumors!”

Alright, the Jade Emperor was really quick-witted, turning his words around seamlessly, leaving Sun Wukong unable to fault him any longer. Glancing at the Queen Mother, whose expression was gradually easing, Sun Wukong sighed, knowing he couldn’t dwell on this matter any further, and turned to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother to say, “Everything is fine with me at the Naval Marshal’s Mansion in the Heavenly River, no need to worry. The only issue is that Tianpeng keeps giving me trouble for disliking me, always scheming to cause difficulties for me…”

“That Tianpeng Marshal, he really doesn’t know his place! As the marshal of a hundred thousand soldiers of the Heavenly River Navy, he should be uniting his subordinates and setting an example. How can he indulge in jealousy and envy? I must reprimand him thoroughly for this! Yes, I’ll go and reprimand him right now!”

Finding an excuse to leave, the Jade Emperor stood up indignantly, flashed an ingratiating smile at the Queen Mother before maintaining his angry expression and hurriedly exited the chamber, heading towards the exterior of the Jade Pool. He was so quick that even his personal guards couldn’t keep up, which made Sun Wukong chuckle to himself. Truth be told, in all his years from past lives to the present, he had never seen the Jade Emperor in such a flustered state—it was truly an eye-opener and immensely amusing!

“Wukong!”

As the Jade Emperor’s figure disappeared outside the grand hall, the Queen Mother took a deep breath and called out to Sun Wukong.

“What is it, Queen Mother?”

Because of the Fairy Zi Lan, Sun Wukong was now much more respectful towards the Queen Mother. After all, following the Peach of Immortality Banquet, the Queen Mother would become Zi Lan Fairy’s adoptive mother. She had been quite protective of him on regular days, so he owed her that much respect.

“Whether or not you rescued Taotie, heaven knows, you know—I don’t want to pursue it. But you’d better restrain yourself a bit, and not be too outrageous!”
