“Has Seventh Lady not woken yet?”
“My younger sister has something to attend to back home. She will be back in a few days.
You don’t need to be so formal, just call us by our names!”
Zhang Tian Shou, smiling, called for a handful of water to wash his hands, and replied with a smile.
Chen Fan nodded, but stared at Zhang Tian Shou, who was dripping with water on his face, in a daze.
Zhang Tian Shou’s face immediately flushed red, and she said softly.
“Sir!”
“Ah, oh, it’s nothing, Lady… no, Tian Shou, you are well!”
Chen Fan didn’t know what he was saying, and quickly turned his head, changing the subject.
“I’ve already asked Da Zhuang to prepare the altar. Let’s go to the Clearwater River after breakfast!”
In the Bright Palace of the Heavenly Court, Zhang Tian Yu was tugging at the sleeve of an old man with a white beard, nagging incessantly.
“Oh, Tai Bai Jin Xing, you just have to help me deliver this thing! It’s not a big deal, why are you so heartless!”
Tai Bai Jin Xing looked troubled, pouring out his grievances to Seventh Princess Zhang Tian Yu.
“Oh, my Seventh Princess, it’s not that this old minister isn’t helping you.
It’s just that Wei Zheng, although he’s an official of the Heavenly Court, is currently an official in the mortal world.
Most importantly, he’s also deeply favored by the Emperor, and enjoys the favor of the Dragon Qi.
Unless Wei Zheng comes to the Heavenly Court for his scheduled duties, contacting him prematurely would consume a lot of resources.
These expenses would all be recorded and verified by the God of Wealth.
If the God of Wealth refuses, then I’ll lose a month’s salary!”
Naturally, Zhang Tian Yu wouldn’t accept Tai Bai Jin Xing’s explanation.
As the biggest troublemaker in the Heavenly Court besides Nezha and Yang Jian.
Zhang Tian Yu was not someone who was easily appeased.
“I don’t care, you have to help me with this, otherwise I won’t let you work.
One day in the Heavenly Court is a year in the mortal world. By the time Wei Zheng comes to the Heavenly Court, half a year will have already passed in the mortal world.”
Seeing the Seventh Princess throwing a tantrum, Tai Bai Jin Xing rubbed his forehead and quickly begged for mercy.
“Your Highness, can I think of a way? Please let go of my hand! You’re making me dizzy, then I really won’t be able to do anything!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tian Yu immediately stopped shaking his arm, looking obedient.
Tai Bai Jin Xing tapped his head, and suddenly brightened up.
“Your Highness, you just have something to tell Wei Zheng, you don’t necessarily have to meet him face-to-face, do you?”
Zhang Tian Yu nodded repeatedly, replying.
“That’s right, that’s right. Someone in the mortal world is gathering incense and harming others.
We immortals of the Heavenly Court are nourished by the human race, and we should naturally protect the safety of the people.
As a princess of the Heavenly Court, I naturally have to take action when I encounter such an evil deed.
However, there’s someone with Dragon Qi guarding the forces behind them. To avoid a conflict between Heaven and Man.
I thought of the mortal world official Wei Zheng, and let the Dragon Court of the mortal world handle it themselves!”
Zhang Tian Yu held her head high, as if waiting for praise.
But Tai Bai Jin Xing remained strangely silent, with white-gold light flashing in his eyes.
“There’s no problem with the aura and primordial spirit, it’s Seventh Princess, but how is this possible?”
Tai Bai Jin Xing suspected that he had gotten out of bed on the wrong side today.
Seventh Princess actually used her brain?
“Tai Bai, I think your eyes are not right. Tell me, are you insulting me!”
Zhang Tian Yu’s gaze was sharp, her hand clenched into a fist, her bones making a crisp cracking sound.
Tai Bai Jin Xing nodded in satisfaction, this was the Seventh Princess.
“Seventh Highness, please don’t do anything. This old minister knows what to do.
The One-Eyed Wolf of Qing Stone Town, right? What a terrible name! Don’t worry, it will take at most two days, and the message will definitely reach Wei Zheng’s ears!”
With Tai Bai Jin Xing’s assurance, Zhang Tian Yu was finally satisfied.
Then, she greeted Tai Bai Jin Xing and was about to leave.
“Seventh Highness, remember to greet the First Highness when you go back.
Don’t forget tomorrow’s Peach Feast, you mustn’t be late!”
“I know, Tai Bai!”
Zhang Tian Yu waved her hand without looking back and disappeared in a flash.
Tai Bai Jin Xing only wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and sighed.
“Sigh, what a day! Buddhism’s Journey to the East, I still need to continue coordinating. I wonder if the monkey has connected with the Buddhist sect.”
Tai Bai Jin Xing reviewed the tasks at hand, his finger tapped, and a beam of light shot out, flying towards Chang’an of the Tang Dynasty.
This small matter, just leave it to the City God and the Land to convey.
By the Clearwater River of Zhao Family Village, the silence was deafening!
Incense smoke curled from the altar, three plates of snacks were arranged neatly.
“It doesn’t make sense. Why won’t it come out?”
Chen Fan stared at the surface of the Clearwater River, where the water waves rippled but there was nothing, and fell into deep thought.
He had made countless assumptions and contingency plans to deal with the River God.
But he never imagined that the River God simply wouldn’t come out.
“Ah Fan, the River God isn’t coming, we can’t waste these offerings. So, can I have a green bean cake?”
Da Zhuang, covering his slightly empty stomach, asked Chen Fan in a low voice.
In Zhao Family Village, not everyone could eat three meals a day like Chen Fan.
Da Zhuang had come out in the morning and hadn’t eaten a single bite of food, carrying the altar to the riverbank.
“Brother, I’m also hungry, I want to eat that bun!”
Da Zhuang’s younger brother, Xiao Zhuang, nodded repeatedly, drool almost dripping from his mouth.
Chen Fan glared at the two of them, barely able to stop himself from reaching out to hit them.
Zhang Tian Shou, standing aside, covered her mouth and chuckled, and then took the initiative.
“Sir, let me handle it!”
