Chapter 606: Longevity Counterattack

“Thank you, Fairy.”

“Why? Did you call yourself a fairy after helping Lord Taibai Jinxing once? Lord Taibai Jinxing is really…”

Half a day later, in the Glacial Palace of the moon.

Under the starlight, two figures slowly walked in the corner of the Glacial Palace.

Li Changshou naturally maintained his Taibai Jinxing appearance. Heng’e was still as dignified and elegant as before.

Li Changshou could only smile awkwardly when he heard Heng’e’s dissatisfaction.

Heng’e said softly, “It’s just a small matter. Lord Taibai Jinxing, don’t take it to heart. I’ve checked that array formation. It’s indeed fine outside. Bian Zhuang was indeed brought over from inside.”

She paused and her eyes lit up.

“Lord Taibai Jinxing also knows the Six Directions Origin Formation?”

“I don’t understand. It’s just a guess. I can’t go to the Moon Essence Pool to investigate.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “It’s not important what reason and how to explain. What’s important is who will explain and who will say that. The only person who can save Bian Zhuang today is Fairy.”

Heng’e said, “Is this matter really that serious? Even if he has such a lustful heart, he also has the guts to barge into the Moon Essence Pool. Can’t Bian Zhuang’s previous achievements make up for his mistakes?”

“If merit can really be countered, what are the rules of the Heavenly Courts? Merit is merit, and transgression is transgression.”

Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and sighed. “Those who wield power cannot have any personal feelings. This is the Heavenly Dao’s request for the Heavenly Courts. It’s just that many immortals and gods cannot sense it. The Heavenly Courts have to maintain the image of the Heavenly Dao being impartial. Only then would the Heavenly Dao give the Heavenly Courts the authority to govern the Three Realms. The matter today is trivial compared to the major matters of the world, but it has grasped the weakness of the Heavenly Courts. The immortals were mixed in good and bad, and they had many personal relationships. The person behind the scheme is not small. His thoughts are extremely brilliant and difficult to deal with.”

Heng’e nodded slightly and smiled. “I don’t understand the twists and turns here.”

Li Changshou made an inviting gesture and the two of them slowly walked into the pavilion beside the pool. Unknowingly, Li Changshou had already taken the initiative.

He asked, “Fairy, what do you think of Bian Zhuang’s character?”

“He’s fine if we don’t consider romance.”

The corners of Heng’e’s mouth twitched a few times. “However… he can say so much about such a selfish thing. I really don’t know how to judge him. For such a general, Lord Taibai Jinxing should use him less. Otherwise, his reputation will be implicated.”

Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He sat down with Heng’e.

At the side, Yu Tu lowered her head and ran over to deliver tea and snacks. Li Changshou and Heng’e maintained their silence. After Yu Tu left, they continued. “Heng’e is a little confused. Can you explain, Lord Taibai Jinxing?”

“Fairy, just ask. I will consider it carefully and tell you everything I know.”

Heng’e said, “Why did you appear last when you sent a voice transmission? I’m afraid that it would be disadvantageous to your reputation and make you seem cruel.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and found it difficult to answer.

He was actually waiting to see if there would be any changes in the Heavenly Dao apart from his arrangements. He wanted to save half of the protagonist in the Journey to the West calamity.

Unfortunately, nothing happened.

The immortals of the Heavenly Courts could not be used. Bian Zhuang was burning with passion and was about to confess…

His arrangements seemed to be the way the Heavenly Dao chose to save him.

It was rather subtle.

However, that was not something he could say to Heng’e. Li Changshou could only say, “Take this opportunity to let Bian Zhuang suffer a little so that he won’t continue to be arrogant. Humans had to feel some pressure. Otherwise, they would float easily.

I hope that he will remember this time. A little reputation doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care about that. No matter how thorough you are, many people will still scold you behind your back. This is determined by your position.”

“However…”

Heng’e picked up her tea and frowned. “The way Bian Zhuang looked at me in the Lingxiao Hall at the end is really disgusting.”

“That’s fine,” Li Changshou said seriously. “After this matter blows over, if there’s a need, I’ll get Bian Zhuang to kneel in front of the Glacial Palace… and acknowledge you as my godmother. How about that?”

“Pfft! Ahem, ahem!”

Heng’e was a dignified Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. She held the teacup and coughed violently. It was unknown if her face was flushed red or red. She glared at Li Changshou angrily.

She pursed her lips and snorted. “I’m not feeling well today. Lord Taibai Jinxing, come again another day. I won’t send you off! Seriously!”

“Hey, Fairy…”

Li Changshou raised his hand and wanted to ask her to stay. However, Heng’e turned around and left. Her figure had already disappeared from the side pavilion.

He shook his head and smiled. He dispersed the barrier around the two of them and rode a cloud away.

Half a day ago.

Li Changshou brought 300 Chang’e, General Dongmu, and Elder Moon to the Lingxiao Hall.

The Jade Emperor was the judge, and Heng’e was the guarantor. It was confirmed that Bian Zhuang was a criminal. However, the subsequent investigation was in a deadlock. The Chang’e could prove that they had not acted alone.

Among them, at least two of them were lying. However, they could not investigate this matter openly.

According to Li Changshou, if Bian Zhuang was found to have been framed but could not be found, he would be severely punished.

However, the severe punishment now was different from the previous life.

The Jade Emperor had issued a decree that the Hall of Marriage prohibits Bian Zhuang’s marriage for a thousand years. He was not to get involved with anyone for a thousand years to punish Bian Zhuang for his drunkenness.

Li Changshou added some supplements and removed the position of Deputy Commander of Bian Zhuangtian River Navy. He was grounded in the mansion for a hundred years. If he drank alcohol again within a hundred years, he would enter the mortal world.

Bian Zhuang…

Regarding that…

“Hehehe, Fairy Heng’e is here.”

In the low-key, luxurious, and wealthy residence, Bian Zhuang sat at the end of the corridor. He hugged the Zhuqi stone pillar in front of him. His face was flushed red and his eyes were blurry.

At the side, Ao Yi was disappointed. He scolded, “You’ve already lost your official position, but you’re still here admiring a fairy!”

Bian Zhuang chuckled. “It’s a small matter, a small matter.”

Ling Zhuzi hugged his arms and muttered, “We can’t let this matter go. We know that someone is framing Second Brother, but we can’t find out the outcome. How can we be willing!?!”

Bian Zhuang sighed comfortably. “If all the schemes are like that, it’s fine even if we do it a few more times. Hehe, the fairy stood up for me. Who are you going to reason with?”

Ao Yi snorted. “It’s obvious that Brother Sect Master invited her. In the Heavenly Courts, anyone who spoke about this matter would be considered to be currying favor with Brother Sect Master. Only Fairy Heng’e’s reputation and identity can protect you. Do you know how much risk Brother Sect Master is taking? If Fairy Heng’e tells this matter and uses it to mock Brother Sect Master, Brother Sect Master, you will be labeled as a lecherous demon. I’m afraid others will say that you were a pervert and that you went to the Moon Essence Pool because of Brother Sect Master’s instructions!”

“Well…” Bian Zhuang rubbed the tip of his nose.” Lord Taibai Jinxing is also the Head Instructor of Chang’e. He shouldn’t spread the news like that. ”

“Gossip is fearful.” Ao Yi pursed his lips.

Ling Zhuzi asked indignantly, “Could it be that this matter is over?So what if it’s those Chang’e? Why can’t I continue investigating? I can interrogate them one by one. If I can’t, I can lure them into a dream and search their memories. I can always find out who it is!”

Bian Zhuang whispered, “The Heavenly Courts’ Chang’e is famous in the Three Realms. She’s causing trouble.”

Ling Zhuzi looked helpless. “Second Brother, are you still taking pity on women?”

Ao Yi said, “It’s indeed not appropriate to blow this matter up. We should suppress the matter on the surface and investigate in secret. Don’t worry, Brother Sect Master will definitely not let this matter go. Ling Zhuzi, don’t be rash… Look at this fellow. His face is filled with happiness. To him, this is the greatest blessing in disguise.”

“Hehe, Yi Yi knows me best.”

Bian Zhuang hugged the vermillion wooden pillar and chuckled in an intoxicated manner. “I owe the Moon Lord my life. I can’t repay this favor in three lifetimes.”

“Brother Sect Master saved you!”

“That’s different. Our lives have long belonged to Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

“I’ll go and discuss with Yu Tu.” Ling Zhuzi clenched his fists. “If we find out who framed Second Brother, we’ll drag him out and beat him up!”

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Bian Zhuang staring at him.

Bian Zhuang returned to his senses and hurriedly shouted, “No! Those are all fairies. Third Brother, don’t really attack!”

“Don’t worry. If anything goes wrong, Brother Sect Master will naturally stop him.” Ao Yi leaned against the side. “However, Ling Zhuzi might really investigate this matter. He is a disciple of Chan School and not an immortal of the Heavenly Courts. He has no feelings for women. The Heavenly Courts know about his reputation.”

“Ah.” Bian Zhuang shook his head. “It’s not good to be young. Boss is sad, but Third Brother is still too young… It’s worth it for the Heavenly Courts to be defended by the Moon Lord today.”

Ao Yi was so angry that he rolled his eyes and cursed, “I can’t save you!”

“I will always admire Fairy Heng’e!”

“Get lost! You still don’t know how to restrain yourself. You’re going around spreading those crooked principles of yours. Sooner or later, your future will be destroyed by this matter!”

“It’s a small matter, a small matter.”

“I’ll knock you down to the mortal world!”

“It’s a small matter, a small matter.”

“Apart from your source of trouble!”

“Pui! At most, I’ll die!”

…

Who is causing trouble?

In front of the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou liked to sit in front of the door more and more. He looked at the sky, the water, and the clouds. He was probably an old man.

Actually, he had secretly given the Jade Emperor a suggestion to punish Bian Zhuang.

It was a punishment for Bian Zhuang’s careless words.

When Li Changshou sat in the Moon Palace and reviewed the case, he could not eliminate the possibility that Bian Zhuang was lustful.

There was no choice…

“You can always trust Bian Zhuang, except for matters related to beautiful women.”

This time, if he did not have a good relationship with Fairy Heng’e, he would really be in a dilemma. He could only use Old Madam Bian’s backup plan.

However, if others appeared, even if they had a thorough explanation, the effect would be greatly reduced.

At that time, Li Changshou was sitting in the Moon Palace. After sending a voice transmission to Heng’e and making an appointment, he had already begun to think about whether he should investigate or not.

If the Western Sect was behind this, everything would be fine.

However, if it was not the Western Sect, how would it end?

Indeed, the possibility of the Western Sect causing trouble was the greatest. After all, Bian Zhuang had once vomited blood and tried to cheat on the spiritual mountain. It was reasonable for the spiritual mountain to hate him.

IT Uh…

He suddenly recalled that Bian Zhuang had become an Envoy of the Pure Altar after the calamity of the Journey to the West ended. He did not even become a Luohan Fruit. Could it be related to him offending the spiritual mountain previously?

That’s not right. The spiritual mountain at that time was most likely not the spiritual mountain at that time.

However, on careful thought, would the Western Sect really dare to continue targeting the Heavenly Courts?

The two Saints were unscrupulous people who did not achieve their goals. However, it was precisely because of their temperament and way of doing things that they only saw the word ‘benefits’ in their eyes. Instead, they would restrain themselves at that moment.

If he continued to go against the Heavenly Courts, the Western Sect’s wealth would be destroyed.

The rise of the Heavenly Courts was the general trend. To the Heavenly Dao, its priority was far above the prosperity of the Western Sect. The two Saints should have understood this matter.

From another perspective, the Heavenly Courts had been stable for more than a hundred years. Why was it Bian Zhuang who was suddenly messed up?

Li Changshou pondered for a while and options appeared in his heart. These options were connected and turned into more than ten possibilities.

At that moment, he was using silence to deal with the changes.

If framing Bian Zhuang today was not done by the spiritual mountain, the matter would definitely not end like this. The other party would definitely continue.

Bian Zhuang had too many flaws and could easily be schemed against…

If everything was as he had expected, the person who framed Bian Zhuang would probably stand up himself. That would be obvious. The person who targeted Bian Zhuang was trying to pull him, Taibai Jinxing, down.

It was a small matter, but the person behind it should be quite ambitious.

“Huh?”

Li Changshou frowned slightly. He looked at the image of Ling Zhuzi rushing towards the moon and could not help but frown.

Forget it. It would be good for him to join forces with Jade Rabbit to intimidate those Chang’e.

It was time for him, the head instructor, to go to the Moon Palace.

However, before that, he had to discuss it with the Jade Emperor.

This was a huge matter of the Heavenly Courts. Moreover, it was a rare matter in this peaceful period of time. The Jade Emperor was already rubbing his hands together and could not wait to participate in a story.

As a minister, he naturally had to consider the Jade Emperor and arrange this matter for him.

Hence, three days later.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy appeared in the Moon Palace with a smile. He sat in his usual spot, set up a barbecue rack, and tasted a pot of Jade Spring Ice Brew. He was happy and content.

He smiled and said, “Everyone, don’t worry. I suddenly thought that I still have the position of the head instructor that the Jade Emperor appointed me as. I have been busy with various matters in the Heavenly Courts. I have never been able to fulfill this duty. I feel guilty and guilty. Come, continue playing and dancing!”

After saying that, Li Changshou flipped the meat skewers in front of him and squinted.

Chang’e, who was in the hall, did not react. They also knew that Lord Taibai Jinxing had come to intimidate the people who had plotted against Bian Zhuang.

Since they had already found out that someone had framed them, it was already quite benevolent of Lord Taibai Jinxing to be able to take care of their dignity and use such a gentle method to pressure them.

In the past few days, Ling Zhuzi and Yu Tu had also been strolling outside the Moon Palace. They stared at every fairy that passed by, causing the fairies to feel a little pressured.

Li Changshou sat in the Moon Palace for a few months.

Just as Li Changshou was mumbling to himself, could it be that the Western Sect was really just deliberately taking revenge? A few fairies in the Moon Palace appeared abnormally. They had “skipped classes” twice and practiced dance in the future.

Those fairies happened to be one of the dozen or so fairies who bathed that day.

It was indeed here…

Li Changshou pondered for a while. He knew that once he gave the order and sent them over for questioning, the subsequent matters might develop in various unimaginable ways.

It might even involve the Three Sects of the Dao Sect or the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool.

However, he clearly realized that something was amiss and ignored it. He could not explain to the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts…

Who arranged this scheme?

It was actually so difficult to deal with and completely not the style of the Western Sect.

Li Changshou suddenly thought of an old friend—the master of the Reincarnation Pagoda, Ksitigharba.

This was the first time Li Changshou felt so passive after playing against Ksitigarbha and the East Ocean.

It was not time to break the situation.

The facts weren’t clear yet.

Li Changshou was not in a hurry to attack. He first thought about the future and formulated a backup plan for every possibility. Then, he summoned Ao Yi and ordered Ao Yi with a cold face to invite the “suspicious” Chang’e over to ask.

This investigation really involved a series of follow-ups.

The few Chang’e were “invited” to the Moon Palace. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they did not last for more than six hours. A fairy’s Dao heart could not withstand the pressure and collapsed. She explained what happened that day.

Four people took action and secretly plotted for half a year. Finally, they found an opportunity to steal the drunk Bian Zhuang and place him beside the Moon Essence Pool.

One mastermind and three accomplices.

The mastermind was the fairy who said that if she did not know that Bian Zhuang was the right-hand man of Lord Taibai Jinxing, she would have killed him with one strike.

Li Changshou punished the three accomplices lightly and only grounded them for a hundred years.

Then, Li Changshou wanted to take the opportunity to retreat. He said that the mastermind had an old grudge with Bian Zhuang and that it was an act of personal revenge. He wanted to reduce the matter to a small matter.

Unexpectedly, there were many fairies among Chang’e who were extremely righteous. They stood up and reprimanded the mastermind, saying that she had ruined the reputation of the Moon Palace and wanted to remove her from the Chang’e Book.

The woman quickly collapsed and cried, “I have no choice. They captured my sister’s family and forced me to do that!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

The reversal was as he had expected.

At that moment, most of the dozen or so possibilities in his heart had dissipated. There were only a few deductions that led to the real answer.

Li Changshou said slowly, “Fairies, don’t be anxious. Let me ask… who are they?”

The mastermind was in a daze. His eyes were filled with tears. He was actually so charming. It was really pitiful.

She muttered softly, “I don’t know who it is either. The last time I went home, my relatives were restrained by them. My sister’s family fell into their hands. However, I heard them say something… Lord, I dare not say. Please punish me severely. Please be merciful and save my sister’s family.”

“Just say it,” Li Changshou said warmly. “If your sister’s family is really being held hostage, the Heavenly Courts will naturally not ignore it.”

“Thank you, my Lord. I heard them mention unintentionally that they will definitely cause a rift between you and Fairy Heng’e this time, lest the number one beauty of the Three Realms, Fairy Heng’e, ruin Senior Sister Yun Xiao’s… good marriage.”

Jie School Immortal?

That was just a superficial answer.

Li Changshou was not anxious. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. Half of the truth had been revealed.

However, it would be bad if he continued to be led by the nose by the other party.

Is the mastermind trying to blow things up?

He would make it big then.

If the other party wanted the three Dao Sects to have a conflict, they would let the Three Sects have a conflict and cause the matter to be completely unbearable.

He had schemed and schemed against Yun Xiao.

Did he really think that he would only be thorough and not dare to flip the table?

IT Be steady.

Clear Dao heart.

Li Changshou quickly looked at himself internally and judged if he was affected by the Tribulation Luck. When he realized that there were no traces of the Heavenly Dao, he knew that the Heavenly Dao was not about to descend the God-Conferment Tribulation in advance.

There was probably someone who could not wait and wanted to trigger the Great Tribulation in advance.

Below, Chang’e said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, how should we deal with this matter?”

“Send him to the Lingxiao Hall,” Li Changshou said. “This matter concerns Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao is my Dao companion. It’s not convenient for me to continue appearing, so I’ll go and save Chang’e’s family. Please help me inform His Majesty. We have to investigate this matter to the end. There is no need to stop investigating anyone. The dignity of the Heavenly Courts cannot be lost. I want to see who has the guts to provoke the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Dao, and the Purple Cloud Palace!”

After saying that, Li Changshou stood up and left with a flick of his sleeve. He looked calm, but his anger was surging. The Chang’e stared at him anxiously.

They were just dancers. How could they withstand the anger of Lord Taibai Jinxing.

Li Changshou left the Moon Palace and rode a cloud outside the Lunar Star. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

A stream of light flew over from the side and turned into the image of a golden roc. It approached Li Changshou and whispered, “Teacher, there’s a small matter.”

“What is it?”

“Old Madam Bian sent 300 beautiful girls over. They are waiting outside the East Heaven Gate.” The Golden Roc pursed his lips. “According to the Bian family, their Young Pavilion Master has never suffered such grievances. Old Madam Bian is quite angry about this matter, but she knows the rules of the Heavenly Courts. When the three hundred girls enter the Bian Manor, they will only open a treasure pool and bathe inside every day. They will not go out much.”

Li Changshou could not help but laugh.

“This old lady is really capable. Go and reprimand the people from the Bian Family. Don’t be too harsh with your words.”

Then, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Act secretly later. I’m going to investigate Chang’e’s family. I will deliberately slow down and give you the news in advance. Go and try to save this family. If you could save them, protect them and bring them back to the Heavenly Courts. If not, burn the corpses and destroy all traces.”

“Okay!”

The Golden Roc replied via voice transmission and cupped his hands with a smile. “Teacher, don’t worry. I know my limits. I won’t let the Bian family suffer too much.”

After saying that, the Golden Roc turned around and fled.

Li Changshou squinted. The paper effigy continued to put on a long face and returned to the Great White Palace.

He was an expert.
