Fairness

  Zhao Gongming's words had two meanings, one was that he regarded himself as a member of the Jia family, and the other was that he did not consider himself human. Yang Jian knew it wasn't the first kind, his heart was on fire, but looking at Bi Xiao's adorable gesture of supporting her cheeks with her hands, plus the full table of dishes she had worked hard to make, how could he bear to get angry?

  Bixiao also noticed the unnatural look on Yang Jia's face and smiled at Zhao Gongming, saying: "Brother, you've come all this way to my place, aren't you considered a guest?" She smiled again, looked at Yang Jia, and said: "Guest! What's wrong? Do you still need the host to feed you as an adult?"

  Yang Jian couldn't help but smile, this Bi Xiao really looked like a 17 or 18-year-old little girl, this understanding of people is so accurate! Yang Jian chuckled and stopped being polite, picking up his chopsticks to eat with gusto. Zhao Gongming's face turned black, but he also had no choice but to start eating.

  This table full of dishes is mouth-watering, and the taste is exceptional! Bi Xiao quietly watched Yang Jia eat, seeing his wolfish appearance, she couldn't help but smile, a peculiar blush rising to her face.

  "Is it delicious?" Bi Xiao asked.

  Yang Jian nodded with a "hmm hmm", unable to say another word, his mouth already filled with the fragrant food. Bi Xiao hastily poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yang Jian, saying: "Quickly drink some water, why do you look like a starving ghost?"

  His words were somewhat reproachful, but his face was full of smiles. His hard work had been praised by others, and he couldn't help but feel elated.

  Yang Jian took over the tea water, drank two mouthfuls, and smiled foolishly: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

  Bixiao smiled with satisfaction, pouting her mouth and saying: "Of course, my skills are many." The two of them sang in harmony, completely ignoring Zhao Gongming, who was now unclear as to which one of them should be considered the real guest?

  Zhao Gongming's face turned darker and darker, and his eating speed also became slower and slower! Yang Jian saw it in his eyes and was delighted in his heart. For someone like Zhao Gongming who is so proud and a bit selfish, doing this didn't make him feel guilty at all.

  "Bang" Zhao Gongming's chopsticks were suddenly pressed onto the table, and Bi Xiao and Yang Jiaolong jumped in surprise! Yang Jiaolong thought to himself: "He won't be like that old Taoist, will he? A few words can already enrage him?"

  "Master, what's wrong?" Bi Xiao asked.

  Zhao Gongming glared at Bi Xiao and said, "Have you stirred up some kind of trouble?"

  "Ah?" Bi Xiao exclaimed in surprise, Yang Jiaolong also looked at Zhao Gongming with some confusion, not knowing why he suddenly asked such a question. Did he know that Bi Xiao had rescued him from Da Jinwu's hands?

  Bixiao was also a bit afraid and hastily shook her head: "No, why would Shixiong say such things?"

  Zhao Gongming let out a cold snort and stepped out of the door, raising his head to glance at the sky. He said coldly, "The Heavenly Sect has sent an army of 10,000 heavenly soldiers straight for your Bixia Palace. Haven't you caused enough trouble yet?"

  At his words, Yang Jian and Bi Xiao were even more shocked. Bi Xiao rushed to the door and saw that in the sky, dark clouds were rolling in, with countless heavenly soldiers flying towards the Bi Xia Palace.

  Could it be that Yuanyuan told the Heavenly Court about her being taken by the Golden Light? But that doesn't add up, the Heavenly Court sent so many people, anyone can see this isn't a good thing. As her junior sister, how could she betray herself like this? If it wasn't him who said it, then why did the Heavenly Court come to her Bi Xia Palace? The more Bi Xiao thought about it, the tenser her face became.

  "What can be done? What can be done?" Her gaze turned to Zhao Gongming, as if grasping a lifesaving straw, and she said urgently: "Brother Master, you must help us!"

  Zhao Gongming looked at her anxious appearance and glanced at Yang Jian again, saying coldly: "I've long suspected that he's not an ordinary mortal!"

  Staring at Yang Jian, he asked in puzzlement: "Did the Heavenly Court send such a large force just to hunt you down?"

  Yang Jian nodded and stepped forward, saying: "Dao Zhang, I know you've been worried about Bi Xiang's safety. Bi Xiang saved me, so in Yang Jian's heart, she is already a great benefactor. This time, Yang Jian doesn't want to drag Dao Zhang and Bi Xiang down again. I'll leave now."

  After finishing speaking, he took a big step forward. Bi Xiao grabbed Yang Jian and frowned: "Are you crazy? Going out now is equivalent to seeking death!"

  "If I don't go out now, I'll implicate you all. Even if Yang Jia dies, he won't implicate you again."

  Zhao Gongming sneered coldly and said: "Alright, since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Jian's collar.

  Bixiao's face changed greatly, and she hastily said: "Elder brother, stop! If you kill him, I won't live either."

  Zhao Gongming's eyebrows furrowed, and upon hearing Bi Xiao's words, he first felt shocked, then angry. He looked at Bi Xiao and said, "You want to die for him?"

  Bixiao raised her head and said firmly: "Yes! Brother, if you kill Yang Jia, I will really die."

  Would there actually be a woman willing to die for me? Yang Jian's eyes widened in shock, staring at Bi Xiao in astonishment, looking at Bi Xiao's lovely and beautiful face, he didn't know what to say. At this moment, his heart had nothing more to say.

  Zhao Gongming loosened his grip, staring at the azure sky with a sense of regret and frustration. He glanced again at the outside weather, the dark clouds were getting closer! The heavenly soldiers in the dark clouds also looked more vivid.

  "Brother, you can't hand Yang Jian over either," Bi Xiao said hastily.

  Zhao Gongming looked at her and said slowly, "I, a poor Daoist, cannot kill him. Can't the Heavenly Court do it? Now the Heavenly Court has dispatched so many soldiers and horses just to take this little demon's life! If I don't hand him over, does that mean our Intercepting Sect will become enemies with the Heavenly Court?"

  "Heavenly Court has sent troops to come here, they must have known that I was the one who rescued Yang Jia. Now I am also the target of Heavenly Court's capture, do you want to see me being caught and taken to Heavenly Court too, Brother?"

  Bi Xia spoke up, and Zhao Gongming fell silent, helplessly sighing and saying: "You all go ahead."

  Bi Xiao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Big Brother!" After finishing speaking, he hastily grabbed Yang Jian.

  Yang Jian turned his head to glance at Zhao Gongming, with a mix of emotions in his heart. He bit his lip and forced out two stiff "thank you"s before being pulled by Bi Xiao into the closet and entering the tunnel.

  ......

  "Your Highness, over there is Yaoshi Mountain. Shall we still station our troops around it?"

  "Uh-huh."

  Tian Pengyuan Marshal and Da Jinwu pressed down on the cloud end, and saw a green-clad Taoist priest in the courtyard, with a black tiger crouching beside him, holding a dustpan, eyes closed in contemplation.

  The two fell in front of Zhao Gongming, Tian Pengyuan looked at him and glanced at the black tiger beside him, saying to Da Jinwu in a low voice: "This is Zhao Gongming who cultivated in Luofu Cave on Mount Emei. He is the senior fellow practitioner of Sanxiao Fairy and has a very deep relationship with her."

  The great golden crow nodded slightly and stepped forward, saying: "Where is the Third Heavenly Fairy?"

  He coldly spoke, again with disdain in his eyes. Zhao Gongming's mouth slightly curved upwards as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Da Jinwu, saying: "I've heard that the Heavenly Emperor has several sons, I wonder which one you are?"

  The Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng stepped forward and said: "This is the eldest son of the Jade Emperor, the Golden Crow."

  Dajinwu thought that when Tianpeng Yuanshuai reported his own name, Zhao Gongming would be moved, but Zhao Gongming didn't have any expression at all, just like he hadn't heard Tianpeng Yuanshuai's words.

  The face of Dajinwu changed instantly, and Tianpeng Yuanshuai said helplessly in his heart: "The temper of young people is really impatient!" He took a step forward, looking at Zhao Gongming.

  "General Tao said: 'I've also heard of Dao Zhang. I came to this Bi Xia Palace the next day to find San Xiao Xian Zi, there's something I want to ask.'"

  "Hmph! There's something I want to ask, and judging from your attitude, it seems like if you can't get the answer you want, you'll raze Bixia Palace to the ground!"

  "The Taoist priest smiled and said, 'We are just doing our routine duties, I hope you won't make it difficult for us.'"

  "It's not that I'm being difficult, it's just that you've come at an inopportune time. My three sisters have all gone out traveling for a few days and are no longer at the Green Mist Palace."

  Tian Pengyuan Marshal's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he returned to Da Jinwu's side, asking in a low voice: "Your Highness, what this Zhao Daochang said doesn't seem like a lie either. In my opinion, the Sanxiao Fairy must have gone out for a stroll."

  Dajin Wu glared at him fiercely and said coldly: "Wandering around? Do you really think that I, the emperor, am so easily deceived?"

  Marshal Tianpeng awkwardly said: "This marshal didn't say that Your Highness is easy to deceive, it's just that this Taoist priest really doesn't seem like he's lying!"

  Dajinwu no longer bothered with him, he knew in his heart that Tianpeng Yuanshuai himself had some indulgence towards Yang Jiaolong. It could be seen from the very beginning when he let go of Yang Jiaolong's siblings.

  Dà Jīn Wū looked at Zhao Gongming and said coldly: "How does this emperor know whether you are telling the truth or lying?"

  Zhao Gongming smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Your Highness wants to search the mountain. Since Your Highness has such a noble interest, I wouldn't dare to stop you. However, I'd like to remind Your Highness of one thing."

  "This Bi Xia Palace is under the jurisdiction of our Master Tongtian, I've already told you that my sister isn't here. If Your Highness insists on searching and Master finds out, it won't be good for us when we ascend to the Heavenly Court, don't you think?"

  "Don't bring up Tianyi's teachings to suppress our own!"

  He didn't listen to Zhao Gongming's words, and was about to give the order to search the mountain. Tian Peng Yuanshuai hastily stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, you can't! Daozhang's words are reasonable, Daozhang is a cultivator, how could he speak deceitfully? Moreover, His Majesty's imperial edict is......" His words were left unspoken.

  Dajinwu waved his hand and didn't let him speak anymore. Tianpeng Yuanshuai retreated to the side with a hint of a smile on his lips, at least he had achieved his goal.

  Dajinwu's hand gesture did not fall, looking at Zhao Gongming with a calm expression, he coldly hummed and asked: "Now I will ask you a few questions. If you can answer truthfully, I will immediately withdraw my troops."

  Zhao Gongming nodded slightly and said, "Since Your Highness has spoken, I will follow."

  "Has Yiyuan Xianyu ever been here?"

  "I don't know."

  "Don't you know?"
