Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Sun Wukong was even more bewildered upon hearing this.

Not a buddy?

Do I know you?

"Um... I, Old Sun, don't know you, so why should I call you Senior Brother?"

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, chuckled.

"Hehe... Anyway, don't worry about it. From now on, I'll be your senior brother and you'll be my junior brother. If you don't believe me, go ask your senior brother Li Xuancang. Even if I call you senior brother, I still have to call you senior brother~"

Sun Wukong was really confused about what was going on, but since the great god had already said so, he simply nodded.

"Uh... alright then~ from now on, I, Old Sun, will call you senior brother."

"But you still haven't told me why that child was so scary?"

Upon hearing that Sun Wukong hadn't refused to call him "senior brother," the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming was overjoyed.

A gold brick slipped directly from his sleeve.

"Come, come, junior brother. It's our first time meeting, and I haven't prepared any nice gift for you."

"Take this gold brick. Although it's not a high-grade item, just a acquired spiritual treasure, it's very handy. It's great for smashing people!"

After speaking, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming immediately stuffed the large gold brick into Sun Wukong's arms.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was completely bewildered, a little monkey...

He looked down at the large gold brick in his arms, then looked up at Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, in front of him.

After giving the gold bricks to Sun Wukong, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming explained the situation to him.

"Junior brother, you may not know this, but Li Jing and Nezha are actually father and son, and Nezha's background is extraordinary..."

"During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the spirit pearl under the seat of the Goddess Nuwa was reincarnated as a human, and this spirit pearl is Nezha."

"Because Nezha's legs were extraordinary, Li Jing's wife was pregnant for three whole years but couldn't give birth!"

"After finally giving birth, she was born as a little fleshy ball."

"Li Jing is ignorant of destiny and lacks good fortune. With his mortal eyes and limited understanding, he learned some magic and immediately assumed that his child was a demon reincarnated, so he wanted to kill Nezha!"

"Fortunately, Nezha was protected by his mother, which allowed him to grow up..."

"But the relationship between the father and son has never been good."

"later…………"

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, gave Sun Wukong a brief explanation of the feud between Li Jing and Nezha.

Hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes widened so much they were almost bigger than the Bull Demon King's!

All that was seen was Sun Wukong swallowing hard.

"No way... this is ridiculous!"

"Is there any father like Li Jing?"

"Even if Nezha was wrong to cause trouble in the sea, it's one thing for the father not to protect his son, but to stand by and watch Nezha cut off his flesh to return to his mother and his bones to return to his father!"

"In the end, Nezha's master recreated Nezha as a lotus root, and his mother built a temple to worship him, all in the hope that her son could be resurrected."

"But the father smashed up the temple?!"

"Is this Nezha's family background...? It's terrifying!!!"

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, nodded in agreement.

"Who says otherwise? Li Jing is no good either."

"He was a minister of the Shang Dynasty before, then became a disciple of the True Man Du'e, and then switched allegiance to the Daoist Ran Deng. He was quite diligent in changing allegiances."

"Currently, he serves as the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, but secretly he's a lackey of Buddhism..."

"Calling him a traitor who served three masters is no exaggeration!"

As Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, spoke, Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly beside him.

However, at that moment, Zhao Gongming and Sun Wukong suddenly made a synchronized movement.

The two of them simultaneously tilted their heads back and then stretched out a hand to cover their eyes, looking as if they couldn't bear to look at them.

In particular, the corners of their mouths were twitching incessantly.

As for why Zhao Gongming and Sun Wukong reacted this way?

That's because Nezha, without saying a word, strangled Li Jing with his Fire-Tipped Spear!

Pfft!!!

The spear pierced Li Jing's heart directly.

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, sighed...

"Holy crap! That's a fast gun!!!"

Sun Wukong, who was standing nearby, also sighed in agreement.

"Holy crap! That's a huge skewer!!!"

Li Jing, meanwhile, coughed up blood, his hands gripping Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear, which had pierced through his body, tightly.

"Nezha...you...you wicked beast!!!"

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately let out a cold laugh.

"Hehe... Hahahahaha..."

"You're only just finding out I'm a monster?!"

"From the very day I was born, haven't you always called me a monster, a monstrous creature?!"

"This is what you said when I cut off my flesh to return to my mother and my bones to return to my father at Chentang Pass!"

"My mother built a temple for me to worship, and that's what you said when you smashed my temple!"

"And when you used that exquisite pagoda to suppress me, didn't you always say the same thing?!"

"Now you realize I'm a beast?!"

As he spoke, Nezha drew his Fire-Tipped Spear.

Pfft!!!

"Li Jing! Without the Exquisite Pagoda, now it's your turn to be the beast!!!"

When Sun Wukong, who was not far away, heard these words, he felt that he had discovered a blind spot.

"Um... Senior Brother Zhao, since Nezha hates Li Jing so much, why didn't he attack him before? Why did he only make his move when Li Jing didn't have the Linglong Pagoda?"

Zhao Gongming explained it to Sun Wukong again.

"Because the exquisite pagoda in Li Jing's hands was a magic weapon bestowed upon him by the ancient Buddha Dipankara, specifically designed to subdue Nezha."

"Don't underestimate that magic weapon just because it's of average grade. It's specifically designed to counter Nezha. The golden light on the tower can immobilize Nezha, and suppressing him is a piece of cake."

Sun Wukong nodded after hearing these words…

"So that's how it is. No wonder my senior brother told me to specifically target the tower before. So that's why!"

At this point, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.

His gaze then drifted to the exquisite pagoda in the distance, which he had just knocked away...

"Hehehe... I have a plan!"

"What did you say?" Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, wanted to ask Sun Wukong what kind of plan he had come up with, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Sun Wukong leap into the distance.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, looked at Sun Wukong with some confusion.

All we saw was Sun Wukong picking up the exquisite pagoda that had just been knocked away, and then stuffing it into his pocket without saying a word.

After collecting the pagoda, Sun Wukong returned to Zhao Gongming's side and watched Nezha beat up Li Jing.

Zhao Gongming was somewhat puzzled...

"Junior brother, why are you picking up that junk?"

Sun Wukong simply looked like he didn't understand.

"What kind of junk did I collect?"

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, spoke again.

"It's that exquisite pagoda... Although it's a magical artifact, it's actually just junk! It's useless, why would you pick it up?"

Sun Wukong looked completely innocent.

"What exquisite pagoda? I, Old Sun, have no idea!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, don't talk nonsense. When did I, Old Sun, ever pick up a pagoda? I wouldn't pick up that kind of junk!"

"I, Old Sun, didn't pick it up! I didn't pick it up!"

It was only then that Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, realized what was happening. Looking at Sun Wukong's innocent expression, he burst out laughing.

Sun Wukong couldn't help but chuckle...

Immediately afterwards, the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming and Sun Wukong looked at each other and smiled.
