Chapter 46 Inspection
Watching Li Anran leave, Yang Jian, or rather, Boss Kang, grinned.
The original cold and majestic temperament is gone.
"Even Brother Li didn't realize I was a fake, so other people shouldn't be able to tell it either! Now I can rest assured!"
Boss Kang was very proud: "Last time, the fourth brother and his friends disguised themselves as monsters and tried to sneak into the prison, but they were spotted by Brother Li at once, and he even used a monster-binding rope to play a trick on them."
"Today, he was deceived by me. I can say that I have vented my anger for Lao Si and the others."
"When the fourth brother and his friends come back this time, I will find an opportunity to bring them together for a chat and sort out the dirty things between them. Brother Li's cultivation is a little lacking, but he is a man of virtue and worthy of close friendship."
Boss Kang picked up the file on the table and started looking through it.
But after reading for a while, I felt dizzy and sleepy, and I felt that the words on the file were like tadpoles swimming around.
"I don't know how the Second Master can read these boring and tedious things every day. It's simply torture!"
Boss Kang looked at the two thick stacks of files, half a person's height, on the table and felt a little desperate.
Even if he didn't need to actually correct them, just sorting them according to importance would be a chore.
"If only I had come back earlier that day, I could have gone to Xiniu Hezhou with Second Master, and wouldn't have to stay here alone to look at these things!"
Boss Kang muttered and complained, but he still did what he had to do.
He forced himself to keep awake and continued reading.
Time seems extremely long at this time.
The files on the desk were decreasing little by little, but every once in a while, some witch doctor would bring in a bunch more.
Boss Kang has been busy day and night for several days, but the files on the desk have not only not decreased, but there are signs that they are increasing.
On this day, Boss Kang was still struggling in the sea of files when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
He hurriedly sat up straight, his expression once again returning to the aloof look that a god of justice should have.
"Second brother! Second brother!" The angry shout of the Third Holy Mother came from outside the door.
Next second.
The door of the Temple of Justice was pushed open with a bang.
"Third sister, why are you here?" Boss Kang was really surprised.
Compared to their brothers, the Third Holy Mother truly hates the Temple of Justice and seldom comes here.
"snort!"
The Third Holy Mother did not realize that the Yang Jian in front of her was fake, and asked, "Second Brother, did you say anything to Sister Baihua that day? Why hasn't Sister Baihua dared to come to see me during this period of time?"
Boss Kang didn't know what happened, but he knew that he couldn't admit it: "Third sister, how could this matter be related to me? Maybe the Hundred Flowers Department is busy, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy didn't have time to look for..."
“Second brother!” The Third Holy Mother interrupted Yang Jian. There were not many people in the Three Realms who dared to do this, and she was definitely the most unscrupulous one. She said angrily, “You still want to lie to me! I’ve already heard that it was you who didn’t let Sister Baihua and the others come to find me!”
"What happened that day is very clear! Sister Baihua was also deceived by Fairy Lingnan, so she dragged me to visit the prison. Besides, didn't we go in? I have already forgiven her, why do you have to hold on to her?"
"You are busy being the God of Justice every day, leaving me alone in Guanjiangkou. I finally made some friends, but you don't let them come to me. Second brother, you are really too much!"
When Boss Kang heard this, he roughly understood what was going on. He was secretly annoyed at the Fairy of Flowers for not knowing the seriousness of the matter. He was rash enough to want to visit the prison and even used his third sister to make trouble. It was really hateful.
I also understand that what the Three Holy Mothers said is very likely true.
The Second Master must have threatened the Fairy of Flowers.
However, looking at the Third Holy Mother who became more and more excited and tears kept flowing as she spoke, he knew that he could not admit this no matter what.
"Third sister, there must be a misunderstanding here! Second brother would be so happy if you could make more friends, how could he stop you from meeting each other!"
The Third Holy Mother's crying gradually stopped, and she was doubtful: "Are you serious?"
Boss Kang quickly assured: "It's absolutely true!"
The Third Holy Mother finally burst into laughter and said, "I knew that my second brother was not unreasonable. How could he do such a thing?"
Boss Kang: “…Hehe.”
Mr. Kang's smile was somewhat forced.
However, he at least made this matter come to an end...
Before he could finish his thought, he heard the Third Holy Mother angrily say, "But Second Brother, even if you didn't do this, you have scared Sister Baihua and the others so much that they dare not come to me! You caused this, you have to help me solve it!"
As she spoke, she took out a few invitations from her sleeves and placed them on the table: "This is the invitation for my birthday party. Ask Grass God to help me deliver it to Sister Baihua and the others."
Boss Kang's expression suddenly froze.
It was most likely true that Yang Jian warned the Fairy of Flowers to stay away from the Three Holy Mothers. Now sending someone to send the Fairy of Flowers an invitation to the Three Holy Mothers' birthday party would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
"What's wrong? Second brother."
The Third Holy Mother looked at the motionless Boss Kang suspiciously.
"... Third sister." Boss Kang's mind was spinning rapidly, and he actually came up with an excuse: "The Grass Head God represents the Temple of the God of Justice. Don't you think it's a bit like using power to pressure people and force them to attend the birthday party if you ask them to deliver the invitations?"
"What if Fairy Baihua is really too busy recently and can't get away? After she receives the invitation, will she go or not?"
"If we go, we will delay the work of the Hundred Flowers Department and might even be punished by the Queen Mother. If we don't go, it will bring shame to the Justice Temple. Even if we don't care, we can't say what she thinks in her heart!"
The Third Holy Mother thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it: "Okay then! I will go and deliver it myself!"
The Third Holy Mother took back the invitation and was unwilling to stay in the cold and lonely Judicial Heavenly God Temple for long. Before leaving, she said, "Second Brother, you promised me that you would come to my birthday party this time! When the time comes, you can explain it to Fairy Baihua in person!"
Boss Kang: “…”
The birthday of the Third Holy Mother is March 3rd, which is half a month later.
But Yang Jian is now performing official duties in the mortal world, and it is the kind of official duties that requires him to conceal even his whereabouts.
It’s hard to say whether I can attend this birthday party.
And even if he could attend, did he, the God of Justice, really have to apologize and explain to a mere Fairy of Flowers?
This is a joke!
No, I have to tell Second Master about this as soon as possible!
Boss Kang did not dare to make a decision on his own. He immediately restored his original appearance, stood up and left the Temple of Justice, and flew towards Guanjiangkou.
When he arrived at Guanjiangkou, he transformed himself into a mortal and went straight into the Temple of Erlang Zhenjun.
Take three long incense sticks, light them, and offer them respectfully.
A wisp of incense smoke rises.
In Xiniu Hezhou, somewhere deep in the mountains and old forests, there is a monster’s cave.
Yang Jian was discussing the next course of action with his Meishan brothers when he suddenly stopped talking and closed his eyes.
All the Meishan brothers knew what Yang Jian was doing and waited quietly on the side.
After a moment, Yang Jian opened his eyes.
Everyone asked, "Second Master, what happened to the boss?"
Yang Jian shook his head: "They are just trivial matters. Let's continue." He made a note of the Fairy of Flowers in his heart.
At the same time, Boss Kang came back to his senses from his trance, and found an imperial edict in his arms.
"Li Anran!"
Boss Kang gnashed his teeth with a look of shame on his face, stood up and walked out of Erlang Palace, flying straight to the Heavenly Prison.
Li Anran was practicing in the quiet room. When he heard the soldier report that Boss Kang was coming, he hurried out to greet him: "Brother Kang."
Boss Kang, however, had a gloomy face and snorted coldly.
Li Anran was a little confused.
It was not until they entered the quiet room of the prison, with no one around, that Boss Kang started to question them: "Li Anran, since you have seen through my identity, why are you still pretending to be so good and making me fool around?"
Li Anran finally realized what was going on and asked, "Was it you, Brother Kang, who was the God of Justice that day?"
"It's me."
Boss Kang’s face turned even darker.
When Erye said that this kid had seen through his transformation skills, he was still a little skeptical, but now it seems to be true.
"Brother Kang, I really didn't mean it!"
Li Anran quickly explained: "Although I guessed that the God of Justice was fake, I didn't know that he was transformed by you."
Boss Kang snorted coldly and asked, "What if you knew? What would happen?"
"I...I..." Li Anran couldn't continue, and finally could only smile bitterly: " Brother , there must be a reason why the Second Master asked you to transform into him. Even if I can see it, I can't reveal it."
Boss Kang asked, "When did you realize something was wrong? This is very important, just tell me the truth, you don't have to give me face."
Li Anran hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "From the first sentence you said to me, I realized something was wrong. You..."
Noticing the look of disbelief and disappointment on Kang's face, Li Anran quickly stopped, regretting that he was too honest, and said, "Brother Kang, your transformation technique is very sophisticated, and I can't see any flaws."
"However, different relationships between people lead to subtle changes in attitudes, which is difficult for people who are not familiar with each other. You imitated Er Ye very well, but you don't know how Er Ye and I get along, so it's inevitable that you will reveal some flaws."
Boss Kang: “…”
Boss Kang knew that Li Anran was comforting him, but he didn't feel comforted at all!
The art of transformation was the result of the elixir and had nothing to do with him.
Boss Kang was still a little unwilling to give up, and continued to ask: "Besides these, what else did you see?"
Li Anran said: "Second Master doesn't want people to know that he is not in heaven."
"What else?"
"He must have come down to earth to catch monsters."
"What else?"
"This matter should be related to the day when the Jade Emperor sent Taibai Jinxing to urgently summon the Second Master for an audience."
“…”
Seeing that Li Anran was answering one question at a time like squeezing toothpaste, Boss Kang was very dissatisfied and simply said, "Brother Li, I don't know how you see me and the Second Master! But I treat you as a brother, and I dare say the Second Master feels the same way!"
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I won't force you. But if you are willing, then just say it out loud. It's really not fun to hide it like this!"
Li Anran: “…”
Li Anran was speechless.
It was not because of Boss Kang's straightforward question, but because he felt the sincerity in Boss Kang's emotions!
He said the truth, what he really thought!
And sincerity is the most lethal weapon!
Li Anran said, "Second Master led people to Xiniu Hezhou? He is going to deal with Bull Demon King and his group? Hmm... should it be Peng Demon King, right?"
“You…you…”
Boss Kang opened his mouth wide, completely stunned. After a long while, he finally uttered, "How did you know?"
Before going to Erlang Temple to burn incense and communicate with Yang Jian through the scent of incense.
He only knew that Yang Jian had come down to earth to catch monsters, and Yang Jian did not tell him anything else.
Unexpectedly, Li Anran guessed so many things after just one trip to the Temple of Justice.
"When I went to the Temple of Justice that day, I found that there were very few grass-headed gods in the temple..."
Li Anran recounted the process of his analysis, hiding only the information he had learned from Journey to the West.
Boss Kang was stunned and his expression changed again and again.
It was not until this moment that he finally understood why the Second Master praised and respected this young man with mediocre cultivation in front of him!
He is observant, thoughtful, and logical, and he values friendship, keeps his promises, has compassion for the people, and is considerate of his subordinates!
This is clearly a Second Master who has been weakened countless times!
"Brother Kang." Li Anran felt a little uncomfortable being looked at.
He didn't know what Boss Kang was thinking, otherwise he would be very speechless besides being proud.
On the surface, he is a bit like Yang Jian.
But in fact, they are two completely different people.
In his heart, he is always the most important, and everything else can be weighed and abandoned, but this is obviously not the case with Yang Jian!
Boss Kang came back to his senses and said, "Brother Li, regarding the Ziwei Star Fighting Formation you mentioned earlier, the Second Master said it's no problem and you can start setting it up anytime."
Li Anran was not surprised.
In other words, the fake Boss Kang didn't dare to make any promises, and even said that he had to consult the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
With Yang Jian's power, he can make the decision on his own on such a small matter.
As long as there are no problems in the Heavenly Prison, no one will care about the life and death of a few heavenly soldiers.
Boss Kang added, "Besides that, Second Master, I, too, have something I would like to ask you for help with."
Immediately, Boss Kang recounted the story of the Three Holy Mothers and the Fairy of Flowers.
Boss Kang said, "Third sister's birthday is on March 3rd, and the birthday banquet will be held at Guanjiangkou. Second Master is currently in Xiniu Hezhou dealing with the Demon King Peng, so he may not be able to spare the time to go."
"He wants you to help keep an eye on her and see what the Fairy of Flowers is up to. If she reforms, that's fine. But if she still wants to use Third Sister to do something that goes against the rules of Heaven, Second Master will never let her off easily this time!"
Li Anran's heart moved, and he guessed that this might be a test from Yang Jian to him.
If he can do it well, Yang Jian will also lend him a helping hand next.
Is Yang Jian going to capture the Demon King Peng for me?
Li Anran's heart beat faster.
One Yu Monkey King brought him 400,000 experience points every day, the seventh-grade spell of summoning spirits and generals, and the opportunity to listen to Taoist Yan's lectures. This Demon King Peng must not be much different!
Boss Kang was still explaining: "Second Master only has this one sister. He has always held her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of melting her. We brothers are similar. We all treat her as our own sister. We cannot bear to see her cry, and we cannot control her. Brother Li, you have to be the evil one!"
Li Anran agreed without hesitation: "Brother Kang, leave this matter to me! I will definitely help Second Master keep a close eye on it!"
Exchanging a Fairy of Flowers for a Demon King Peng is definitely a huge profit!
Even if he couldn't get it in exchange, Yang Jian would definitely capture more monsters under the Demon King Peng and put them in the Heavenly Prison!
As for offending the Three Holy Mothers...
Li Anran really doesn't care.
The scary thing about the Third Holy Mother is that there is a Yang Jian behind her!
Without Yang Jian, even if she had the Precious Lotus Lantern in her hand, she would have been cheated long ago and nothing would be left!
Boss Kang was overjoyed when he saw this, and he kept saying, "Good brother! I'll leave the matter of Third Sister to you! Oh, there's one more thing!"
Then he took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Li Anran.
"This is what the Second Master asked me to give you. The Second Master said that if you get bored staying in the Heavenly Prison, you can go check on the sinful immortals imprisoned in the mortal world to see if they have any abnormal conditions."
