If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 835 She ran away, leaving them in a state of panic
"Everyone, it's time for tonight's Daze Banquet to end."

Xiao Yukong bowed his back and kowtowed three times to everyone, which made some distinguished guests so nervous that they wanted to return the greeting immediately.

She quickly spoke out to stop him, explaining, “My selfish motives in inviting all the guests here are clearly evident.

You are all noble people with virtue and blessings.

Only with your blessings can I clear my grievances in front of the Water God.

This is what I should do, I just hope you won’t blame me for being so cunning.”

The county elder sighed, “Not to mention that the fairy is very polite and attentive to us.

Just talking about what the fairy did, it was just to seek justice for herself, not an evil act that harmed others.

We just witnessed the whole process, as the fairy wrote on the invitation, telling us a magical story.

We didn’t do anything to help the fairy.”

"If you can stick to the principles of the world in your hearts, it will be the greatest help to me."

Xiaoyu glanced outside the Crystal Palace. Water God and He Bo were still in the yard, looking over here, but the three water kings returned to the swamp, preparing to move the 4,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who had been captured earlier.

"I won't say any more polite words. The Water Virtue Star Lord is still waiting for me. Please follow me.

Before we part, please accept this last gift from me."

She brought them to the inner court and personally handed out gift boxes to each guest.

Even the servants or relatives and friends brought by the guests were given gift boxes.

Although the box was not opened and I don't know what's inside, just looking at the box itself, I can see that it is extremely exquisite and not something from this world, so it must be worth a lot of money.

Some guests wanted to decline the gift, but Xiaoyu still forced them to accept it.

"Li Hong, you will lead the team yourself and arrange the soldiers of the Water Palace to escort the distinguished guests all the way to their doorsteps."

"Fairy Yu, I wish you a safe journey to heaven!"

"Fairy Yu, I will go to the Tiandi Temple to pray for you."

"Fairy Yu, please take care of yourself!"

The guests said goodbye to her one by one and gave her their blessings.

Xi Juan looked a little dull, he kept his eyes down and kept silent, so his mother helped him say a few auspicious words.

After they all left, Xiaoyu gave Han Gongcao another gift.

Finally, she took out the flag from the Dragon Palace formation (the flag of the Yu clan's Nine-Bend Yellow River formation was taken out, leaving only the old site of the Dragon Palace), and also put some elixirs and the jade that recorded Taoism into her sleeves.

There were still quite a few things left, all of which were sealed in the treasury of Daze Dragon Palace, and he personally put a seal on the door.

"Whoosh!" She suddenly disappeared.

"Yu Fengxian, where are you running to!"

The Water Deity was a little slow to react, and was stunned for a moment before reaching out to grab it.

In an instant, the entire Dragon Palace and the entire swamp were held in his hands and shook slightly.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

A strong wind howled above the swamp, blowing away the thick fog and drizzle that had covered the center of the swamp for several days.

But Yu Fengxian was neither in the Dragon Palace nor in the big swamp. She had completely disappeared from the spiritual perception of the Water Deity Star Lord.

It was as if she had never appeared, without leaving any trace.

The Water Deity's expression changed several times. He took a step forward and came to the place where Xiaoyu disappeared, which was the entrance to the Dragon Palace Treasury.

He looked around, but still found nothing.

Confused and puzzled, Xingjun finally set his eyes on the seal on the treasure house door.

In addition to the line of text "Seal left by Yu Fengxian, anyone who opens it without permission will be punished" on the seal, the seal itself is also a talisman.

Water Virtue Star Lord's heart moved, and he placed his hand on the seal. The talisman was immediately activated, emitting a water-green spiritual light. A voice came from the talisman, it was Yu Fengxian's voice: "As the saying goes, if you are hit by a small stick, you will accept it, but if you are hit by a big stick, you will run away.

Now that the big case of Shuize Dragon Palace has been solved, the remaining trivial matters may cost me my life.

If I don't run away now, I will be sorry for myself, the Jade Emperor and you, the Star God.

I hope that Gusou will not commit the crime of being unfaithful to his father, and Shun will not fail to be filial to his father. "

The last sentence is a story about Emperor Shun told by Confucius.

Shun's father, Gusou, was a bastard with evil intentions. After Shun married a stepmother and had a younger brother named "Yu Xiang", he became even more vicious. He had plotted to kill Shun many times, for example, he set fire to Shun's granary when he was repairing it, and he filled up the well when Shun was digging it. In short, Shun had a miserable life when he was young.

Although he was miserable, he had a destiny. Every time his father wanted to beat him to death, he escaped without a trace.

If his father only gave him ordinary punishment, Shun would bear it all, but if someone wanted to kill him, he would immediately disappear.

This is the origin of the family motto "Accept small sticks and walk away when there are big sticks."

Of course, the saying "accept a small stick and walk away with a big stick" was directly said by Confucius after he summarized the experience of the ancient sages.

Confucius highly praised the behavior of "Little Shun", believing that by not letting his father beat him to death, he helped Gusou avoid the sin of violating his father's way, and at the same time Shun did not lose his honest and filial piety.

If Shun was foolishly filial, and did not escape from his father's beating, and was beaten to death, his father would be guilty of being unkind and vicious. Letting his father bear the great sin is actually an act of unfilial piety.

Xiaoyu’s last sentence: I hope Gusou will not go against his father’s duty, so that Shun will not lose his filial piety.

"Damn it!" The Water Deity Star Lord didn't have much hatred in his heart, but he was very angry, almost to the point of exploding with rage.

In addition to anger, there is also frustration and depression.

Not only was he fooled by Yu Fengxian, but in the end she also mocked him using the story of Shun.

She scolded him and the Emperor of Heaven as the blind and black-hearted "Gusou", while she herself was the great sage and virtuous "Shun".

Well, "瞽" means blind, and "瞽瞍" means blind in both eyes and heart. Shun's father was indeed a blind musician, but "瞽瞍" is a derogatory term, meaning that he was blind and stupid.

Her last words even carried some threat: "I will only be willing to be the "good son" of heaven if "God" is not blind. Otherwise,
But the Water Deity Star Lord couldn’t refute it, because he really wanted to take advantage of her little mistake and give her a severe beating with the “big stick”.

He Bo's expression changed several times, and he whispered, "Xingjun, do you want to chase her? The Turbid Yellow River Formation is connected to the underground water veins. She must have used the formation to move space and got into the underground river.

I can lead the heavenly soldiers and will continue to hunt her down."

"Do you think I didn't guard against the underground river? The entire Daze water system is under my control." The Water Deity said unhappily.

He Bo was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Then why did she disappear without a sound?"

"You can lead the heavenly soldiers to look for her in the underground river. From today on, Yu Fengxian is the wanted fugitive from the Water Department of my Heavenly Court. Whoever captures her will be rewarded with thirty days of merit. This is the 'Heavenly Order'." said the Water Deity Star Lord.

It was obvious that he had secretly controlled the water rights of the entire Daze water system, but he couldn't stop her and he didn't even know how she escaped.

I can't say this, it's embarrassing.

"Only thirty days of practice, isn't that a bit too little?" He Bo said.

"This thirty-day crime is just her offense against me. As for her grievances with the Dragon Clan, Madam Danhua, and Lord Zhongshan, they have nothing to do with me or the Water Department.

The order from the Heavenly Emperor to me was limited to investigating the case of the Daze Dragon Palace, and now the case has been thoroughly investigated."

He glanced at He Bo meaningfully and said, "You and the Four Sea Dragon Kings have half a month to handle the official business at hand.

Half a month later, you go to Wuhao Palace and wait for me to announce the verdict.

As for how you and your teachers, Zhong Shanjun, Daya Zhenjun and others are going to deal with Yu Fengxian, I will be waiting to see, but I will not interfere.

You can do the same as me, use your Heavenly Power to publicly offer a reward, or kill her secretly, it’s up to you.”

Thirty days of merit is not a small amount. Five hundred days of merit is enough to ascend to heaven and become a good immortal.

And these thirty days of merit are merely Yu Fengxian's offense against the Water Deity Star Lord.

Disobeying the heavenly soldiers and generals, interrogating immortals about their skills, extorting elixirs and treasures, and digging out the dragon balls of the Dragon King. The Star God can take the initiative to handle these cases, or he can ignore them.

To put it bluntly, the government will not investigate unless the people report it.

Lord Daze Long, Madam Danhua, Lord Zhongshan and their teachers had to go to the Heavenly Palace to file a complaint.

If the Jade Emperor still hands the case over to the Water Deity, the Water Deity will take care of it.

He is now completely unwilling and unhappy to take on these cases on his own initiative.

——Damn it, facing this stinky piece of shit Yu Fengxian, the Golden Immortal has no shame to even ignore his own disciples and only let the Star Lord of the Water Department come forward. Doesn’t he have any shame?
In other words, his face is not as valuable as the face of a powerful Golden Immortal?

He is the God of Water, not some insignificant god who specializes in taking the blame!
He Bo knew that Shuide Xingjun had suffered a great loss at the hands of Yu Fengxian this time, and was very dissatisfied with himself, so he did not want to provoke him. He pointed to the Dragon Palace treasury and asked, "Yu Fengxian hid a lot of the treasures he looted here. What should we do with them?"

"You are He Bo, this is the Yellow River!"

After leaving these words, the Water God left the swamp and returned to heaven.

He had just passed the South Gate of Heaven and had not yet returned to his own "Mercury" when a group of immortals riding on auspicious clouds came to greet him.

"Star Lord, I am honored to meet you." A respected old Golden Immortal.

That is, the Iron Turtle Immortal Huang An and the Alchemy Ancestor Wei Boyang.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to the Lord of Stars." There were also heavenly masters and immortal officials serving in the same hall.

They are fellow disciples of the Heavenly Master and Taoist Master among the "Eight Immortals of the East", including brothers and sisters as well as elders.

The Water Deity glanced at all the immortals and guessed something in his mind.

"Mr. Huang, Fellow Daoist Boyang"

He returned the greetings to them one by one.

Facing the two powerful Golden Immortals, he saluted with his fists clasped.

When facing the "juniors" who are not as advanced as himself in realm and position, he would also smile and nod in acknowledgement.

"Are you here for Zhong Shanjun, Daya Zhenjun and the others?"

The Water Deity held the souls of the eight immortals in his arms, but he did not take them out immediately and return them to them.

"The result of the Daze Ryugu case is probably quite different from what you expected."

He calmly repeated what had just happened.

Huang An, Wei Boyang and other immortals all looked embarrassed.

"Alas, they usually don't cultivate their minds and morals, and now that the calamity has come, what can they do?

We feel guilty for letting Xingjun suffer such great injustice for nothing!"

The shame on Huang An's face turned into guilt, and he bowed to the Star God again.

Wei Boyang frowned and said, "Zhongshan Daya and the others were wrong before, and now they are dead and their ten thousand years of hard work have gone to waste. We feel sad for them, but we will not feel wronged for them.

But Yu Fengxian was not completely blameless. At least she tortured the immortal law, which was a serious crime of revealing the way of heaven!"

"She escaped, and she might have used the method of moving space in the Turbid Water Yellow River Formation. The formation of the Daze Dragon Palace is no longer the Turbid Water Yellow River Formation.

Perhaps due to insufficient innate essence, it cannot be called a fourth-grade immortal formation, but it does possess the power of a fourth-grade formation.

I was careless for a moment and didn't notice anything. I'm so ashamed."

At this point, an embarrassed look appeared on Xingjun's face, "Just talking about the Daze Dragon Palace case that the Jade Emperor gave me, it has been concluded.

As for crimes such as revealing the laws of heaven and torturing immortal souls, please go to the Lingxiao Palace to find the Jade Emperor.

Whenever there is an order from the Jade Emperor, this Star Lord will certainly follow it and conduct a thorough investigation. But if there is no order from the Jade Emperor... Well, you great immortals may be able to seek revenge on Yu Fengxian on your own.

Although the Heavenly Court manages the three realms, it cannot prohibit or control the feuds among the immortals.

As long as the immortals do not go to heaven to appeal for justice, heaven will mostly ignore them.

For example, in the case of Daze Dragon Palace this time, if Zhong Shanjun, Daya Zhenjun and others really succeeded and secretly killed Yu Fengxian, and no one spoke up for Yu Fengxian, the Heavenly Court would not investigate the matter.

In this world, in addition to the laws of nature, there are also cause and effect and calamity.

Everyone will eventually bear the consequences and karma of all their actions.

But once you go to the Lingxiao Palace to appeal for justice, once the Heavenly Court intervenes, the consequences can only be determined by the Heavenly Law. If there is false accusation or slander, the Heavenly Court can only be impartial.

Now He Bo and the four dragon kings are crying out for injustice. Long Jun, Madam Danhua, and other immortals have also joined in to accuse Yu Fengxian. The Jade Emperor has handed the case over to me.

I wanted to arrest Yu Fengxian and bring her to justice, but Yu Fengxian proved her innocence."

The Water Virtue Star Lord looked around at the immortals, his eyes and expression gradually becoming serious and cold, "I will hold Zhongshan Lord, Daya True Lord, and all of you accountable for your false accusations."

Huang An raised an eyebrow and said, "The crime we are accusing is just the torture of Yu Fengxian by the Immortal Technique. Is this the truth?"

"But I am only responsible for the Daze Dragon Palace case. The Heavenly Dao Leak is another case."

The Water Virtue Star Lord reminded: “The case of the Dragon Palace in Daze is already known to heaven and earth, and the gods and immortals, and human beings also know about it.

The outcome of the case must be announced to the three realms.

As the Star Lord, I can only enforce the law impartially.

As for whether the Jade Emperor will execute my judgment, you can continue to work hard. "

Having said that, I have done my best.

If the Emperor of Heaven is disqualified, he may lose his throne; if the God of Stars is disqualified, he will also lose his identity as the "Lord of the Stars".

The stars are the direct manifestation of the laws of heaven, and the star gods are the heroic spirits of the stars. They cannot do anything that violates the laws of heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven is disqualified and has to go to the human world to experience trials. After his return, he is still the Emperor of Heaven.

The Star God was disqualified and lost his identity as the Lord of the Star Palace. When he returned after surviving the calamity, his position would most likely have been taken by someone else.

For example, Zhu Bajie.

Before being demoted to the mortal world, he was one of the Four Saints of the North Pole and a legitimate star god.

As a result, he was reincarnated as a pig demon in the lower world (he was originally a pig spirit), and the position of "Marshal Tianpeng" was given to someone else.

Why should Shuide Xingjun risk his own reputation and future for the bad deeds of Zhongshan Jun and Daya Zhenjun?
What is he planning?
It was obvious that their own teachers, such as Huang An and Wei Boyang, were hiding in the back and refused to even show their faces.

To be honest, the Water Deity was quite angry at this time.

But Huang An was also angry, and said in a deep voice: "Xingjun, Daya is the 'Second Ancestor' of the Shenxiao Taoist Sect (the younger brother of the founder of the sect), and can also be considered a direct disciple of the Taoist Patriarch.

He has now paid a heavy price for his actions.

Be it cause and effect or bad karma, his tens of thousands of years of hard practice were all in vain.

Even if you haven't paid it off yet, there will be the next life and the next life after that.

These are what he should bear, and we have nothing to say.

But if you make the case public to the three realms, Daya's own reputation would have been lost long ago, so would the Shenxiao Taoist sect also lose its reputation?

Do you still want the face of the Taoist master?"
