Confronting Heaven with Questions

  In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor was holding court, with all the immortals lined up on either side. At this moment, however, the Heavenly Court was short of talent, and there were only a few truly capable immortal families! The Marshal Tianpeng could now be considered the absolute number one in the Heavenly Court. The Commander-in-Chief Huajun by the Jade Emperor's side was also a rare talent among generals.

  A group of immortals were discussing matters when they saw the Great Golden Crow escorting Yang Chao walking over in big strides. The Jade Emperor put down the memorial and looked at Yang Chao, who was being escorted. This was his first time seeing Yang Chao, but he felt a strange sensation in his heart. After all, they were blood relatives. Even as the master of the three realms, there were some things that could not be changed.

  Marshal Tianpeng saw Da Jinwu bringing Yang Chao to the palace, and his heart was greatly shocked! How did Yang Chao get caught? The change in Yang Chao's appearance was done by him, so he could recognize her at a glance.

  Taigong Wu stepped forward and knelt down to pay his respects: "Your son pays homage to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor, forever and ever!"

  The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up, is this Yang Zhen?"

  "Report to His Majesty," said Tai Jinwu with a nod, "this woman is the demonic offspring of Yunhua and the mortal Yang Tianyou - Yang Chan!"

  Yang Yan was now awake, and for some reason, after entering the heavenly court, the surrounding immortal energy infused into her body, and a similar energy within her responded to it. In an instant, the pain on her body disappeared without a trace.

  This heavenly beauty, though curious, didn't show it on her face. At this moment, hearing the two words "demon", she clenched her fists, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared fiercely at the Jade Emperor sitting in the hall. The Jade Emperor noticed her gaze, but he wasn't angry in his heart. Those eyes were sharp with resentment, but after all, it was the flesh and blood of his own sister.

  Tian Pengyuan was startled by Yang Jiao's actions, he had been doing things in the heavenly court for tens of thousands of years and had never seen anyone dare to stare directly at the Jade Emperor like this. In just one day, one wanted to assassinate the Jade Emperor, while another glared angrily at him. Although his heart was worried about Yang Jiao, there was a hint of joy. He had never spoken to the Jade Emperor in such a difficult tone before.

  The Jade Emperor slowly said: "Indeed, you have not died! Tian Peng!"

  Tian Peng Marshal heard Jade Emperor calling his name and thought: "It's over!" This must be to punish him.

  The Jade Emperor glared at him and said, "Tian Peng, you tell me why Yang Chan is still alive?"

  Tian Pengyuan Marshal squeezed out a smile and said, "How would the little god know? The little god had clearly killed them already, and that coroner Tian Guan also said that they were indeed dead."

  Dà Jīn Wū said with a cold hum, "Tiān Péng Yuán Shuài, why did that Yang Tiān Yòu and Yang Jiǎo die? But this Yang Zhā and Yang Chuò are still alive?"

  He didn't wait for Tian Peng Marshal to respond, and continued: "I beg to report to the Emperor! Tian Peng Marshal did not kill Yang Jiaolong's siblings, but used his magical powers to change their bodies, making people mistakenly think they were dead, and thus deceived everyone!"

  "Great... Great Majesty, you can't wrong Heaven's Whiskers, Your Majesty! If the coroner had said they weren't dead at the time, I would have killed them until they were dead for sure. This matter of changing bodies, how could it be blamed on me, Heaven's Whiskers? Your Majesty also knows that Yang Jian and his sister are the children of Clouded Jade Fairy and a mortal, so growing up quickly isn't anything unusual, is it?"

  Dajin Wudao said: "Tianpeng Yuanshuai is indeed eloquent, but where can a mortal grow five or six years older in just a few days?"

  Tian Pengyuan Marshal puckered his lips and said, "I've already told you, they're not ordinary mortals, they're Xian-Fan bodies. Their bodies have the power of law, what if Yunhuaxianzi lifts their legal powers? Isn't this a rare occurrence?"

  The Jade Emperor suddenly said: "Alright, stop arguing!"

  As soon as this was said, the hall fell silent, Yang Chao's gaze still fixed on him, staring at him intensely! The Jade Emperor suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

  Just then, an officer on duty outside the palace rushed in and made a bow, saying: "I beg to report to Your Majesty that the Queen Mother is waiting outside the palace."

  The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said: "Let it be announced!"

  "Yes!" The official nodded and ran out again, shouting loudly: "His Majesty has an edict, summoning Queen Mother to come and pay her respects."

  Queen Mother? Nezha hid in the dark and let out a long sigh, how did this troublesome Queen Mother appear everywhere? The conversation between them was heard clearly by Nezha. It turned out that this time they were capturing the Jade Emperor's niece. This Jade Emperor is really muddle-headed, why is he always being unkind to his own family members?

  He thought and thought, and then saw the Queen Mother wearing a rainbow-colored windbreaker, walking over with two heavenly maidens holding giant fans behind her. As soon as the Queen Mother arrived, all the immortals hurriedly paid their respects, saying: "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

  The Queen Mother said lightly: "Bow down!" Walked to the main hall of Ling Xiang Bao Dian, smiled and said: "Your Majesty's concubine pays her respects!"

  The Jade Emperor nodded, indicating that she should go forward. The Queen Mother understood and sat down beside the Jade Emperor. At once, she saw Yang Chan being bound by the heavenly ropes.

  The Jade Emperor asked: "Why have you come, Heavenly Mother?"

  The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I have come to report to Your Majesty, I was admiring the flowers in the Jade Pool when an official came to report that the Golden Crow had captured the demon Yang Chan, so I specially came to take a look."

  The Jade Emperor sighed and said: "My queen, you shouldn't be watching such a distressing scene when you could be enjoying the flowers in the Jade Pool. I really can't understand you."

  The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am also here to share your worries." She looked around at the immortals in the palace below, but only saw Yang Chan. She asked, "Great Golden Crow, where is Yang Jian? Why did you only bring back one Yang Chan?"

  Dà Jīn Wū Miàn Lù Nán Sè Dào: "Qǐ Bǐng Niáng Niáng, nà yāo niè Yáng Jiǎn duǒ zài shān lín zhī zhōng, xiǎo shén běn xiǎng céng yòng Yáng Qiú yāo xié, dàn shì Yáng Jiǎn què hái méi yǒu chū lái."

  Translation:

  Taigong Wang's face turned gloomy and he said: "Reporting to Your Highness, that demon Yang Jia is hiding in the mountains, I originally thought of using Yang Qiu as a hostage, but Yang Jia still hasn't come out."

  The Queen Mother coldly snorted and said: "You can't even take care of your own younger sister, you're a coward who fears death!"

  Yang Chan's gaze suddenly shifted towards her, coldly saying: "Don't talk about my second brother like that!"

  The Queen Mother was startled by her sudden remark and laughed: "You're quite bold, Yang Chan! How dare you speak to me like that? Aren't you afraid of death?"

  Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Afraid of death? Ha ha, I am afraid of death, and very much so! But if it's because of fear of death that I submit to you group of sanctimonious gods, I'd rather die."

  "Bang!" But a loud noise came from the dragon case, and the Jade Emperor slapped his palm on the dragon case in front of him, angrily saying: "How dare you, Yang Xiao, to be so rude!"

  Yang Chan was not intimidated by him. What did she have to be afraid of at this moment? As long as she knew that Yang Jia was still alive, it was enough!

  She didn't resent Yang Jia in her heart, although she knew that Yang Jia was hiding nearby at the time. If it were Yang Jia who got caught, she would have done the same! Just like she said, now they had a goal, a common goal, and they should live for this goal! No matter who lived, as long as the goal could be achieved, that was enough.

  I like this woman's character! Such a proud and upright spirit, I don't even have such a personality. Extremely ashamed, Nezha couldn't help but sigh in admiration, having seen two women who aren't afraid of strong personalities in less than a day, the feeling of admiration in his heart was naturally born, if he could get to know her it would be a delightful thing.

  Tian Peng Marshal also sweated for Yang Chao, thinking: "This young lady is so young, but her temperament is so high! The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are now furious, and she will have a good time! What should I do? Yunhua Fairy is also my friend Tianpeng after all, I thought I could keep her bloodline, but now I'm not even sure if I can save myself!"

  He helplessly sighed and muttered: "Cloud Flower Fairy, I really don't know what to do anymore, this is all the help I can offer!"

  Although he had self-blame in his heart, he didn't know that Yang Jian and his sister were grateful to him!

  "Gift? Uncle!" she exclaimed: "Uncle", the immortals were shocked! They all went to see Yu Huang's face, and Yu Huang's anger was much reduced, with an unnatural addition.

  Yang Chan looked at him and continued: "You'd better teach your niece what is propriety? What does it mean to understand propriety? Just now, the empress said that my second brother was heartless and unrighteous. And you? You took away your sister, broke up her family, killed her husband and child! And you also want to kill her other two children.

  "Is this what you call courtesy?"

  Nezha listened to her and was deeply impressed in his heart, "Well said! Well said!"

  The face of Tianpeng Yuanshuai had completely turned pale, pale to the point of transparency! He muttered in his heart: "This is too bold! Actually questioning the Jade Emperor! Ah, Yunhua Xianzi, look at this, even if I wanted to plead for mercy, there's no way now!"

  The Jade Emperor's face changed, and he stuttered but couldn't say a word! Yang Biao's words had struck his heart, for he was about to pardon Yunhua Fairy, only to have her suddenly draw her sword and attempt to assassinate the Jade Emperor, an unforgivable crime in heaven.

  There is also a rule in the heavenly code that gods cannot have worldly thoughts. His sister has committed a mistake, and if it's not severely punished, how can trust be established among all the gods? Who can he share his inner pain with?

  "How dare Yang Xiao speak to Your Majesty like this! Your Majesty, according to the laws between husband and wife, this kind of reckless behavior must be severely punished. Yang Xiao is a demon born from the union of heaven and earth, and at such a young age, she dares to despise Your Majesty. If we let her go, won't it bring disaster to the three realms? Please, Your Majesty, issue an edict to execute Yang Xiao immediately by pushing her into the South Heaven Gate."

  "Halt this worldly wind! To warn and take heed!"

  Marshal Tianpeng hastily stepped forward and said: "Your Ladyship, you mustn't! You absolutely mustn't!"

  "What's wrong? What can't be done? Tian Peng! You've been covering up for Yang Jian and his sister for a long time, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Court?"

  "Shielding? Your Ladyship, you can't speak nonsense! When did I shield them?" Tian Peng Marshal hastily explained, and before he could plead his case, a crime was already pinned on him.

  The Queen Mother coldly snorted and said: "Don't think that I don't know, you personally sentenced Yang Jian's siblings to death. Now, why are they still alive?"

  "This... Ah! This needs to be explained several times by the little god?" Tian Peng Yuanshuai sighed helplessly and continued: "That is the responsibility of the Coroner's Office, it has nothing to do with the little god at all."

  The Queen Mother said: "This palace can believe that you have nothing to do with it, if you plead for the demon Yang Chan again, it means you are covering up for Yang Jiaoliao siblings."

  He... Tianpeng Yuanshuai was choked by a single sentence from Wangmu and couldn't say another word.
