A cat that lingers beside a saint

For most immortals and gods, Shangqing Realm is a sacred place.

Similarly, for some former disciples of the Jie Sect, it was a place they longed for even more than the Lingxiao Palace.

However, being in the Heavenly Court, they had no choice in what to do. Since being conferred the titles of gods, they had devoted all their energy to bringing blessings to all living beings in the Three Realms.

Even so, during their free time, people still go here to kneel and worship in the distance before the main hall of Shangqing Realm.

In the past, the Shangqing Realm was always seen as an extremely peaceful place by the immortals and gods, just like a stagnant pool in the human world. Although it looked clear, it had no vitality whatsoever.

But for some reason, Shangqing Realm seems to have undergone a slight change today.

The clouds here seemed to move faster, and the divine light around the main hall became somewhat dazzling.

Even the children standing outside the main hall occasionally showed a smile on their faces.

What's wrong with me today?

Everyone knows that Nezha has gone mad, but why is this Heavenly Venerable Lord joining in...?

The immortals exchanged glances, puzzled but daring not to dwell on it.

Among this group of immortals, there were quite a few with sharp eyes.

Although they were also puzzled, they clearly saw something jumping back and forth across the threshold at the entrance of the main hall.

But as the main hall gradually disappeared into the clouds, it was too late to get a good look at what the fluffy ball looked like.

Among the group of immortals, one of them immediately recognized the small figure.

After paying her respects at Shangqing Realm, Hanzhixian immediately sought out Zhao Gongming.

"God of Wealth, I think I saw my junior brother in Shangqing Realm just now."

Seeing that Zhao Gongming remained silent, Han Zhixian frowned slightly: "Could it be that I've misjudged him?"

"If you ignore me, senior brother, and those mortals come after you with all sorts of trouble, don't come looking for me."

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming said seriously, "Junior Sister, there are so many immortals and gods here. It's easy for people to see and hear us. Senior Brother Cat hasn't even joined the ranks of immortals yet. If he's discovered, wouldn't that just cause him trouble?"

"Just pretend you didn't see anything, turn a blind eye."

In fact, it wasn't just Zhao Gongming.

Basically, any immortal or god with a brain would turn a blind eye to Su Bai.

After all, it was just a little cat that had cultivated its Qi into a divine being. Even if it sneaked around in the Heavenly Court, it couldn't escape their eyes.

It's just that no one wants to cause trouble for themselves, and nobody knows whose kitten it is.

In addition, the pure aura flowing from his body makes it impossible for even slightly experienced immortals and gods to easily provoke him.

Not to mention eliminating a scourge for the Heavenly Court.

If even these immortals and gods could notice the kitten's presence, how much more so would the Jade Emperor, who was high and mighty above them?

Besides the Jade Emperor, there is also the Queen Mother of the West.

Since even these two ignored it, they naturally wouldn't say anything more and would just pretend they didn't see it.

Listening to Zhao Gongming's words, Han Zhixian nodded as if she understood, but she still really wanted to say a few words to Su Bai.

However, judging from Zhao Gongming's meaning, he clearly wanted her to pretend that she knew nothing.

Thinking about it carefully, this might not be so bad for Su Bai.

If we get too close, it might cause him some unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Han Zhixian sighed helplessly and finally turned and left silently.

Zhao Gongming watched Han Zhixian's retreating figure, his heart filled with helplessness.

Since these people have already been deified, there is no need for them to reminisce about the past.

Perhaps one day in the future, when they are no longer on the Investiture of the Gods list, they may be able to reunite.

Although such a day may be far away, for the vast majority of those who are deified, it is perhaps a kind of hope.

Just as he was thinking this, Zhao Gongming suddenly trembled, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

It's my senior brother calling me!

"Here he comes, junior brother!"

……

They left Shangqing Realm with Su Bai.

Zhao Gongming asked with a delighted expression, "Senior brother, where do you plan to go next?"

"I, Zhao Gongming, am quite well-connected in the Heavenly Court. Most of the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court have to give me some face."

"If you want to go anywhere, just tell me and I'll take you there. If anyone is ungrateful and dares to attack you, just call out to me and I'll be there at your beck and call."

Su Bai didn't seem to care, nodded, and asked, "Is Nezha still at the South Heavenly Gate?"

Zhao Gongming looked up into the distance, then nodded and said, "Judging from his appearance, he won't give up until he sees Li Jing. However, I saw a flash of Buddhist light in the west, so I guess the Ancient Buddha Dipankara is about to arrive. Senior Brother, are you planning to go and see what's going on?"

Hearing this, Su Bai shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, this is not a good show. I just want to find Yang Jian and ask him to take me to Mount Hua."

Want to descend to the lower realm?

That's easy.

As the God of Wealth, he can descend to the mortal realm at any time without needing anyone's permission.

Moreover, as for Nezha, he probably wouldn't dare to stop him from going to the mortal realm.

……

After descending to the mortal realm and placing Su Bai outside the True Lord Temple, Zhao Gongming leisurely departed.

As the God of Wealth, he is still very busy, even though he spent a short time strolling around the Heavenly Court with Su Bai.

In just a short while, a thick stack of official documents had already piled up on his desk.

After Su Bai raised his paw and waved at Zhao Gongming, he ran into the True Lord Temple.

As soon as I entered, before even stepping inside the temple, I suddenly heard a dog barking.

Turning his head to look at the corner not far away, he saw the Celestial Hound baring its teeth at him.

Su Bai frowned, pondered for a moment, and then uttered a strange sound.

"Suckling sounds..."

This sound is a unique secret technique in the mortal world, and it has an irresistible magic for dogs.

Upon hearing the sound, the Celestial Dog was startled at first, then subconsciously wagged its tail. Although the wagging was not large, the sticking out of its tongue said it all.

At first, the demonic sound had some effect, but as the Celestial Hound regained its senses, the anger in its eyes and the roar from its mouth grew louder and louder, and then it suddenly rushed towards Su Bai.

At the same time, Yang Jian in the backyard also noticed the commotion. He rushed out of the True Lord Temple, picked up Su Bai, and the next second there was a loud bang. Looking back, he saw that Xiaotian Dog had crashed into the wall.

Su Bai nestled in Yang Jian's arms, peeked out at Xiaotianquan, and after a moment, tilted her head and called out softly.

"Meow?"

……

In the backyard, Yang Jian raised his hand to stroke Su Bai's fur, his third eye glancing at the small sword on his neck as he asked, "May I ask, Little Cat Daoist, what has happened in the heavens?"

Su Bai blinked: "It's okay, everything's normal, it's fine."

"Oh? I heard that Nezha guarded the South Heavenly Gate for a whole year on earth. He's not usually this diligent."
