We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

Nezha's eyes lit up, and he quickly called to Liu Ruyan, Han Paopao, and Yang Chan, "Come on, my master wants us to go in!"

The group followed Nezha into the Golden Light Cave. The cave was not dark; instead, it was filled with the shimmering light of precious stones. The rock walls were engraved with intricate runes, and spiritual energy seemed to emanate from within.

They saw an old man in a Taoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, sitting on a futon. He looked just like the Taiyi Zhenren that everyone had seen in the Nezha instance, so Liu Ruyan and Han Paopao recognized him at a glance.

Upon seeing Taiyi Zhenren, Nezha stepped forward and greeted him with a grin, "Master."

Taiyi Zhenren nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Nezha before turning to Han Paopao, Liu Ruyan, and Yang Chan, and said, "Hmm, it's good that you're back. And who are these ladies?"

Liu Ruyan and Han Paopao quickly bowed and said, "Junior Liu Ruyan (Han Paopao) greets Master Taiyi."

Yang Chan also curtsied and said softly, "This humble woman, Yang Chan, greets the immortal master."

“Master, they are all my friends. You don’t know, if it weren’t for them, Nezha would have been in danger. The Heavenly Court has no sense of morality and actually came after my parents…” Nezha excitedly recounted what had happened.

After listening, Taiyi Zhenren nodded, and looked at Han Paopao with a hint of admiration: "The younger generation is truly formidable. You are a meticulous person to be able to come up with such a plan."

Han Paopao quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "You flatter me, Daoist Master."

Taiyi Zhenren shook his head and said, "I had already foreseen that Nezha was destined for a calamity, and that the odds were against him. The fact that he was able to escape unscathed is entirely due to your Golden Cicada Escape Technique."

As he spoke, he added, "Nezha, you should thank them."

"Of course! I, Nezha, am not the kind of person who holds grudges. I've already thanked you, but since you say so, Master, then I'll thank you again. Thank you, Brother Paopao," Nezha said proudly.

Han Paopao smiled upon hearing this, but simply shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren shook his head again and smiled at Han Paopao, saying, "That's just how Nezha is. I hope you can be more tolerant of him."

Han Paopao said, "What are you saying, Daoist Master? I really like Nezha."

Taiyi Zhenren nodded, then tapped Han Paopao's forehead and said with a smile, "To thank you for saving Nezha, I will give you a technique as a gift."

Han Paopao felt a warm spiritual energy flow into his forehead, and his mind was instantly filled with many mysterious words, like a set of footwork incantations. He was both surprised and delighted, and quickly bowed: "Thank you for your gift, Immortal Master!"

"This is the 'Escape Technique.' Although it's not some extraordinary supernatural power, it allows you to use leverage to maneuver and avoid sharp edges in dangerous situations." Master Taiyi stroked his beard and smiled. "I see that you are quick-witted, and this footwork suits your temperament."

Han Paopao's eyes lit up even more, and he nodded quickly.

Taiyi Zhenren stroked his beard and looked at Liu Ruyan, saying, "You are the disciple of my senior brother, Yuding Zhenren, so I will not teach you magic. I will give you a magic artifact as a gift."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it. A beam of spiritual light flew out from the depths of the cave and landed directly in Liu Ruyan's hand. When the light dissipated, a folding fan appeared in Liu Ruyan's hand.

Liu Ruyan held the folding fan, feeling its warmth and smoothness. The fan ribs seemed to be made from thousand-year-old bamboo roots. There were no ordinary landscapes, flowers, or birds on the fan surface, but instead, there was a faint flow of light. Upon closer inspection, it looked like countless tiny runes were flowing around.

"This is the 'Azure Mist Fan,' which can gather wind and condense qi. It can not only create a protective gale, but it is also a divine weapon that is indestructible and can cut through iron like mud," said Master Taiyi with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan quickly bowed with her folding fan in hand, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Taiyi."

[Ahhh! Saving Nezha gets you magical powers and treasures? I'm so envious!]

[It's normal for him to have these things! Just look at all the magical treasures Nezha has; you can tell he's incredibly wealthy and powerful!]

[Haha, so Ye Shen really lost out big time. He was involved in saving Nezha, but now he gets nothing.]

[What could the Second Prince of Heaven possibly lack? Hahaha, we're better off without him!]

[What an escape technique! Won't Emperor Han be even more adept at running away from now on?]

[That's not all! Look at Empress Ruyan, she got a folding fan, don't you feel she's becoming more and more like Erlang Shen Yang Jian? No wonder they're siblings, no wonder they're senior and junior brothers!]

The viewers in the live stream were all excited and buzzing with excitement.

The spells and magical treasures given by Taiyi Zhenren are also the most discussed.

There's nothing we can do, it's just too much of a coincidence!

Whether it's Han Paopao's "escape technique" or Liu Ruyan's "Azure Fan".

The Immortal Taiyi is truly accurate in judging people.

Finally, Taiyi Zhenren's gaze settled on Yang Chan, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Are you Yao Ji's daughter?"

Yang Chan was startled upon hearing this, and looked up at Taiyi Zhenren with surprise in her eyes: "Immortal Master, do you know my mother?"

Master Taiyi sighed softly and nodded: "I once met your mother, but I never expected her to end up like that. Your elder brother, Yang Jian, is currently on his way to Yuquan Mountain, presumably to become Master Yuding's disciple."

Yang Chan's eyes reddened, and she was about to ask something when she said, "Immortal Master, my brother..."

"Don't worry, he has his own destiny," said Taiyi Zhenren. "It's just that it's not convenient for me to interfere in matters between the Heavenly Court and you."

Hearing this, Nezha's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "Master, how can that be? Second Brother and Sister Yang Chan have suffered so much. The Heavenly Court is inhuman. We must protect them and help them!"

"Nonsense!" Taiyi Zhenren glared at him upon hearing this: "I have my reasons for doing this."

Nezha, however, stubbornly refused to back down: "Logic! Is it right to watch Yang Chan and the others be bullied by the Heavenly Court? I don't care, I only recognize Yang Jian and Yang Chan as siblings. If you, Master, won't protect them, I, Nezha, will!"

"You're not allowed to go either!" Master Taiyi was so angry he almost hit someone. He said, "The Heavenly Court already believes you're dead and your cultivation has vanished. You're not allowed to show your face during this time, as it will only make things more chaotic and cause you trouble. You'd better stay in the Golden Light Cave and cultivate in seclusion for a while!"

Han Paopao and Liu Ruyan watched in stunned silence, never realizing that even a seemingly ethereal immortal could be so angered by Nezha.

Yang Chan was getting a little anxious. She didn't want Nezha and his master to quarrel because of her.

Just as Yang Chan was about to say something, something unusual suddenly happened in the Golden Light Cave.

Suddenly, the lotus pond in the cave emitted bursts of light, and all the lotuses in the pond began to bloom.

Han Paopao and Liu Ruyan didn't think much of what was happening, and Yang Chan didn't understand either.

But Nezha was somewhat surprised to see this, and couldn't help but say, "Master, so these lotus flowers in your pond can still bloom?"

Having studied under a master at Jinguang Cave for so many years, Nezha had never seen a lotus flower in full bloom.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren didn't say anything, but his face showed some surprise as well. He murmured, "Yes... how did the lotus flowers bloom?" He knew the origin of these lotus flowers and how demanding the conditions were for them to bloom.

He quickly turned his gaze back to Yang Chan, realizing that these words were definitely related to her.

Yang Chan glanced at it and didn't understand anything about lotus flowers. She simply said to Taiyi Zhenren, "Immortal Master, please don't blame Nezha. He was just concerned about us siblings. Don't worry, I will leave your esteemed place immediately and won't disturb your cultivation."

Taiyi Zhenren glanced at the lotus pond, then at Yang Chan, his expression softening slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Since you're here, make the best of it. You have a connection with my Golden Light Cave, so you can stay in the cave with Nezha."

Yang Chan was stunned. She hadn't expected Taiyi Zhenren to suddenly change his mind, and she didn't know how to respond.

Nezha jumped up first: "Master, you've finally figured it out! I knew we should help Second Brother and Sister Yang Chan!"

As he spoke, he winked at Yang Chan, looking as if he was asking for credit.

Taiyi Zhenren ignored him, gazing intently at the blooming lotus flowers in the lotus pond with a profound look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Chan also glanced at the lotus flower and realized that the reason why Taiyi Zhenren changed his mind was most likely because of the lotus flower.

But she still bit her lip and whispered, "But I... I'm afraid of causing trouble for the immortals. What if the Heavenly Court knew I was here..."

"What's there to be afraid of!" Nezha patted his chest. "With my master here, and with my Fire-Tipped Spear, if those guys from Heaven dare to come, I'll beat them back!"

"Just stop causing trouble." Taiyi Zhenren glanced at him irritably, then said to Yang Chan, "You can settle down here. Although my Golden Light Cave is not as powerful as the Heavenly Court, it still has some influence."

“But my second brother…” Yang Chan wanted to say something more.

Master Taiyi shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. His destiny is in Yuquan Mountain, while your destiny is in Qianyuan Mountain. There is no need to worry."

Yang Chan's expression remained hesitant upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan finally understood why only Yang Jian became Yu Ding Zhenren's disciple in the main storyline, while Yang Chan did not. So that's why.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan spoke up from the side, "Yang Chan, since your master has said so, then you should stay. There must be a reason why your master wants you to stay. Don't worry about Yang Jian. Once he arrives at Yuquan Mountain and becomes a disciple of Master Yuding, I will take good care of him."

“Sister Liu…” Yang Chan thought for a moment after hearing Liu Ruyan’s words and nodded: “Since Sister Liu has said so, then alright.”

Liu Ruyan is now a disciple of Master Yuding, so her words carry a different weight. Since even she said so, Yang Chan naturally no longer hesitated.

[Holy crap, they're staying already?]

I'm quite curious, what exactly is that lotus flower? And why did Master Taiyi change his mind after it bloomed?

This is absolutely incredible!

【Lotus Lantern, Lotus Lantern! You've even forgotten this?!】

【what is that? 】

[It's that magical weapon Yang Chan was wielding when Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were fighting, and the Bull Demon King and Yang Chan intervened to stop the battle! Do you really think Yang Chan is some weak woman in the future? She's incredibly strong! She can even intervene in the fight between Sun Wukong and Yang Jian!]

[Holy crap, I remember now, bro, your memory is amazing!]

[That's true... Yang Chan is not weak at all; she just looks like a weak woman, and we are often deceived by her appearance.]

[That can't be right, it should only be the magic weapon that's strong, Yang Chan herself is still weak, right?]

[Doesn't that mean the Lotus Lantern is even stronger? It's understandable that Master Taiyi values ​​it so much!]

After seeing that Yang Chan had agreed under Liu Ruyan's persuasion, Taiyi Zhenren smiled and nodded to Liu Ruyan in thanks.

Liu Ruyan quickly returned the greeting. She had actually thought of many things before asking Yang Chan to stay. After all, if the viewers in the live stream could think of these things, how could she, as the player who knew Yang Chan best, not have thought of them?

Taiyi Zhenren then looked at Han Paopao and Liu Ruyan and said, "If you two don't mind, you can stay in my cave for a while. You can also help me keep an eye on Nezha and prevent him from running around."

Whether you keep one or several, it's all the same, so you might as well keep them all. Taiyi Zhenren was truly magnanimous.

"Master, what are you saying!" Nezha's eyes lit up. He first retorted to Taiyi Zhenren, and then said to Liu Ruyan and the others, "Great! Since Master says so, let's all stay. We can keep each other company and make it more lively. Otherwise, it's been too boring to be unable to get out for so long!"

Liu Ruyan, Han Paopao, and Yang Chan all laughed when they heard this.

After laughing, Han Paopao cupped his hands and said, "It is an honor for this junior to disturb you at the Immortal's cave, and I am naturally willing!"

"Hmm." Master Taiyi nodded and said, "You can stay here and practice your escape techniques with me. I can also give you some pointers."

Han Paopao's eyes lit up even more when he heard this. Putting everything else aside, he had really struck gold this time.

Liu Ruyan smiled, but after thinking for a moment, she declined: "Thank you for taking me in, Uncle-Master, but I'm still not entirely at ease with Yang Jian, so I won't stay this time."

Upon hearing this, a hint of approval flashed in Taiyi Zhenren's eyes: "You are quite loyal. Very well, please give my regards to Senior Brother Yuding for me, and you may go now."

He raised his hand and waved, and a ray of light landed on Liu Ruyan's Azure Fan. "This fan now has a 'message talisman' added. If there is any emergency, you can use the fan to send a message to me."

Liu Ruyan held the fan, feeling the fan ribs slightly hot, and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Martial Uncle!"

When Nezha heard that Liu Ruyan was leaving, he became a little anxious. However, he also understood that Yang Erge's side did need someone to take care of him, and Liu Ruyan's status was the most suitable. So he opened his mouth several times to try to persuade her to stay, but he didn't say anything.

Yang Chan walked to Liu Ruyan's side and whispered, "Sister Liu, be careful on your way."

Although she had only known Liu Ruyan for a short time, she already regarded her as someone to rely on, and it was inevitable that she would feel reluctant to part ways at this moment.

"Don't worry." Liu Ruyan smiled and ruffled her hair. "Take care of yourself. With Nezha around, no one will dare to bully you."

Han Paopao nodded to her, and Liu Ruyan nodded in response. There wasn't much more to say between the players.

"I am leaving."

After greeting everyone, Liu Ruyan lightly touched the ground with her toes, waved her Azure Fan, and transformed into a streak of azure light, flying towards Jade Spring Mountain.

As he left, Nezha shouted that if anyone needed him, they should contact him immediately, and he would be there whenever they called! (End of Chapter)
