Chapter Thirty-Two: My Path is Not Lonely

  "We, your ministers, have arrived to pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

  "Your Majesty's subjects bow down."

  Zhang Youren sat on a high dragon chair under the leadership of Taibai Jinxing, looking at the respectful eyes of the immortals, and his heart was so beautiful that he burst into bubbles.

  Glancing at the group of ministers, letting him have a sense of having the world in his grasp.

  However, thinking of his recent experiences, he suddenly became unsettled.

  Six souls flag dark calculation, body dies way disappears, if not for the clever combination of opportunities, which still has this Jade Emperor! Tianbao Pavilion interlude, on the return journey again blocked by Chang Er Ding Guang Xi Buddha, if not for fate not being extinct, met Lu Yao Daoren, until now do not know where the soul will return.

  Looking at the ministers who were cautious and prudent below the stage, he seemed to be in a different world.

  These immortals in the Lingxiao Hall, the more obedient and harmonious they appear to be in front of people, the more afraid he becomes. Heaven knows how many filthy things they have done behind his back that are detrimental to themselves.

  When he saw Nezha's chubby face looking at him with determination, Zhang Youren inadvertently let out a sigh of relief.

  "I still have Nezha and Changgeng, with you two by my side, my path is no longer lonely!"

  But as he looked at the four great immortals in the front row below the stage, his eyebrows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again, revealing a thoughtful expression.

  Zhong Tian Zi Wei Bei Ji Da Di, a dignified and square middle-aged man, assists Zhang Youren in managing the heavenly scriptures, sun, moon, stars, zodiac, four seasons, and weather. He can summon wind and rain, command ghosts and gods, and is the master of all phenomena and the teacher of all stars.

  On the left, a rich old man with a gentle and harmonious appearance, smiling and harmless, nodding his head to both sides, with excellent interpersonal relationships. However, don't underestimate him just because of his smile, this is the Antarctic Longsheng Great Emperor! In charge of human destiny, fortune, and misfortune, he has senior qualifications, great age, and is also a disciple of the founder of the Holy Religion, Yuan Shi Tian Zun, with an impressive background.

  Next to the Antarctic Longsheng Emperor, with a stern face, seeing anyone as if they owed him a few Xian stones, is the majestic Xianren, who is actually the Tianhuang Emperor of the Gouchen Upper Palace. He is in charge of the North and South Poles and the three talents of heaven, earth, and man, and he dominates the affairs of war and conflict among humans. His subordinates are numerous and his generals are widespread. Just one of his sons, Leitingzi, has a reputation that shines brightly. Moreover, the four departments of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning all have first-rate combat capabilities. In the Xian world, the Gouchen Emperor forms his own circle, and is indeed the largest force in the heavenly court.

  When Houchen Dadi discovered Zhang Youren looking at him, his eyes flashed with a divine light, and a cold aura shot out from his pupils. The gaze contained an aura that made people dare not look directly at it, causing Zhang Youren to shiver on the dragon chair. If it weren't for the recent successful cultivation of the first turn of the Nine Turns Xuan Gong, Zhang Youren's current state would have had to activate the Huang Tian Mirror to resist this cold air.

  "Damn it, didn't you just let that little demon king's son guard the Demon-suppressing Cave for ten years? Now he's staring at me with a menacing gaze, daring to bite me!" Zhang Youren secretly despised the increasingly sinister-looking Hou Chen.

  If a child is not taught, it's the father's fault. The fact that Lei Tian became such a despicable person has nothing to do with you, one of the Four Emperors and his father.

  "Hmmph!"

  The almost erupting Emperor of Hook Chen let out a light hum, and the entire temperature of the Ling Xiao Hall seemed to drop by several degrees, making people feel suffocated.

  "One day, I'll make you reap what you've sown. Just wait and see, that day won't be too far away!" The anger in Gou Chen's eyes clearly expressed the thoughts in his mind, causing Zhang Youren's heart to tighten.

  "It's settled then, now is not the time to provoke these powerful guys."

  He narrowed his eyes and tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers, just as he was about to say a few words to save face, when a voice came from among the officials below.

  "Gou Chen, this is the Ling Xiao Bao Dian, not your Gou Chen Imperial Palace. Stand in your proper position before His Majesty, or else don't blame me for being disrespectful to you!"

  The voice was neither urgent nor slow, but it carried an aura of power that was impossible to ignore. What surprised Zhang Youren even more was that the source of this voice was a woman with a magnetic and neutral beauty.

  "Who is it?"

  He looked around, slightly separated from the three royals, and stood out among the crowd of immortals. There was a woman with her hair styled in a palace bun, her face as beautiful as a spring flower, but with an air of subtle inapproachability about her.

  "It's her!"

  In my mind, the memory fragments of Xiwangmu, the Queen of Heaven, who governs the birth and growth of all things, with the beauty of mountains and rivers, in charge of the cycle of life and death, with merits and virtues becoming an immortal, accumulating the faith of the world, a unique and independent female immortal!

  For some reason, Zhang Youren saw that sacred and inviolable goddess who looked cold as ice, and the turmoil and discontent in his heart subsided a little.

  Hou Chen heard the voice, saw that it was Hou Tu speaking, and fell silent for a moment. He seemed to think that this woman was not easy to mess with, so he withdrew the pressure from his body and retreated to the ranks of the other ministers, no longer speaking.

  Zhang Youren smiled and stopped thinking about the Four Yuans' affairs, continuing to observe the many immortals below.

  "Good heavens, is it he?"

  Suddenly, a handsome and elegant immortal appeared before his eyes.

  When he first saw this majestic and handsome immortal, he almost exclaimed out loud.

  "Am I going? Is this still that fatty?"

  "Zhu Bajie... Tianpeng?"

  Even if you throw it wrong, it shouldn't change that much, right?

  At this moment, Zhang Youren finally understood why even Xiaoqing, who had never been angry with him before, would pout her mouth and almost hang an oil lamp because of his careless words about Tianpeng.

  Tian Peng, a focal point that dazzles wherever he goes. Even if you remove his identity as the Marshal of the Heavenly River Water Division, with his appearance that makes people and flowers bloom, he would still be favored by elderly women in all three realms.

  Especially his eyes, which are slightly melancholic and half sorrowful, are the most powerful artifact that young people on earth like to use to pretend to be cool.

  "You pretend, I'll see how you pretend!"

  Zhang Youren couldn't help but feel a little jealous of his appearance.

  He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  "With your stunning appearance, it's no wonder that the Jade Emperor would reincarnate you into a pig. You've completely stolen the show and overshadowed the Jade Emperor's presence. How could you not suffer from this calamity?"

  When facing any leader, never show yourself as superior to them. Otherwise, no matter how capable you are or who your backer is, the leader will make you disappear in front of them instantly, especially a weak and timid leader!

  Zhang Youren found a reason to demote Tian Peng that he couldn't avoid, patted his chest, and secretly admired his own magnanimity. He wouldn't really demote him just because he was more handsome than himself, would he? Let's put it this way, you have your own brilliance, Tian Peng, and I, Zhang Youren, also have my own unique charm, so why would I be jealous of you? Besides, even if we don't consider the monk's face but the Buddha's face, on the face of Lu Ya Dao Ren, Zhang Youren should let Tian Peng stay in the position of Tian He Shui Shi Yuan Shuai until he dies a natural death.

  Just as Zhang Youren was about to enter the palace for the first time, he carefully observed the group of officials below him, in order to understand who could be used and who would be his potential enemies, when a faint rustling sound came from the entrance of the grand hall.

  "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
