Chapter 125 Yang Jian: No way, I have to find a chance to beat him up!

"Mr. Shen, I have some personal matters to attend to at home today—it's inconvenient for me to keep you here."

Liu Yanchang hurriedly got up to see him off. Although Shen Yi had displayed extraordinary strength, he didn't want to involve him in his family's affairs. "Dad!"

Chen Xiang jumped up from her chair, ran to Shen Yi's side, and grabbed his sleeve as if grasping at a last straw: "Master, you can't leave!"

"Every time I ask about Mother, you change the subject. If the teacher weren't here today, you would definitely try to fool me again!"

Ah, this—

Liu Yanchang was speechless. He'd cried wolf so many times that his son had become immune to it. Shen Yi: ————

Shen Yi's sleeve was being held tightly by Chen Xiang, leaving him in a dilemma: to leave or not to leave.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Shen Yi sighed, patted Chen Xiang's hand, and gestured for him to let go.

"I'm not leaving, I'm listening."

He raised one hand and made a zipper gesture with his mouth, regardless of whether they understood it or not, "I promise I won't say anything out of line. I will never reveal a single word about your family's private affairs."

Chenxiang finally let go, but her eyes were still fixed on him, afraid that he would run away. In fact, the matter between Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother was not complicated. To put it bluntly, the Third Holy Mother was longing for the mortal world and wanted to find a scholar like her mother. Unfortunately, she didn't have good taste and chose Liu Yanchang.

Look at Yang Tianyou. In the early days, he was willing to give up his heart to save Yao Ji. Later, in order to protect his family, he took all the blame upon himself when facing the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Let's take a look at Liu Yanchang—

No wonder Yang Jian disliked Liu Yanchang. How could someone like him compare to his father?

Yang Jian: No way, I have to find a chance to beat him up!

While Shen Yi was talking to Liu Yanchang, Liu Yanchang finished telling his story with the Third Holy Mother. The main room was so quiet that only the faint sound of the lamp wick crackling could be heard.

Chenxiang's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes. As a child raised in a single-parent family, he had longed for maternal love since childhood. Now that he heard that his mother was still alive, he naturally wanted to rescue her.

"I need to find my mother. I need to rescue her."

After he finished speaking, he walked out, but Ao Tingxin was quick-witted and grabbed his arm.

"Agarwood, don't act impulsively."

"I wasn't acting impulsively."

Chenxiang shook off her hand, turned to look at her, and his eyes held a seriousness that a sixteen-year-old boy shouldn't have. "I'm going to find my uncle and ask him to release my mother."

He knew that his uncle was still protecting him in secret; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pull him out of the underworld.

"No, you can't save her."

The three people in the room turned their heads at the same time to look at the person who had spoken.

"Master, what did you say?"

The color drained from Chenxiang's face little by little, replaced by an unbelievable pallor. Which side are you on?

His voice carried a hint of grievance. In his mind, Shen Yi was his teacher, someone he trusted, someone who would tell him stories and give him storybooks, someone who stood by his side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted on letting his teacher stay.

"Your uncle is indeed the God of Justice, but the true rulers of the Three Realms are the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West."

Shen Yi looked at him calmly: "So even if your uncle wanted to save your mother, he couldn't. At most, he could only keep your mother where he could see her and give her some care, such as keeping you alive."

In the eyes of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, a human-god hybrid is a complete bastard. For example, in the prequel, the first order that the Golden Crow and Marshal Tianpeng received was to execute the whole family on the spot, instead of letting Liu Yanchang and Chenxiang go, as Yang Jian did.

"Then, then I'll go and beg the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother!"

Chenxiang immediately spoke up.

"Please, how should I plead?"

Shen Yi sneered: "You may not know, but the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's daughter also longed for the mortal world, just like the Third Holy Mother, and was also captured and taken to the Heavenly Court."

In fact, if it weren't for Yang Jian's protection, that guy who resembled Dong Yong would have died too. However, Yang Jian did this very discreetly, so few people know about it.

Chenxiang was completely dumbfounded. Not to mention whether he could see the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor would punish even his own daughter without hesitation, let alone his mother, his niece.

"But, but why?!"

The boy felt the world was too dark, and looked at Ao Tingxin, hoping to get answers from her.

Ao Tingxin was speechless. Although she was a deity, she was a dragon and didn't really know much about the Heavenly Court's rules.

"On the surface, it's because the union of humans and gods is extremely unfair to mortals."

When I watched "The Lotus Lantern" before, I naturally sided with the protagonist Chen Xiang, thinking that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were doing something inhumane, insisting on separating the Three Holy Mothers. But as I grew up, my thoughts changed.

To paraphrase that saying, whose love do you think you're receiving? It's the love of a god!

From the perspective of lifespan, immortals live for thousands of years as if they were fleeting clouds, while mortals live for a maximum of a hundred years. Immortals simply cannot love a mortal forever.

Take Chang'e for example. No matter how the Chang'e in this world ate the elixir of immortality, in the end, she still let go of Hou Yi and chose Yang Jian.

This was certainly a happy thing for Yang Jian, but for Hou Yi, it was a shameless betrayal.

But what could Chang'e do? Leaving a person with feelings alone in the Moon Palace is also a kind of torture.

"Then why can't we do what Chang'e did and give my dad an elixir of immortality so he can become an immortal?"

Chenxiang naturally didn't know what would happen in the future, but he did know that Chang'e had eaten the elixir of immortality.

"That's equally unfair to mortals."

If an ordinary person becomes an immortal because of a magic pill, doesn't that mean that as long as they please the immortals, they can become immortals? Wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Most importantly, if all the gods were to have children, wouldn't the whole world be filled with gods, leaving no way for mortals to survive?

"Then can't I make my mother a mortal?"

Chenxiang was completely confused by what he heard, and finally asked, Liu Yanchang nodded in agreement, thinking that it was feasible. He believed that the Third Holy Mother would give up becoming a deity.

"So, this leads to the real answer!"

Shen Yi shrugged: "In this Three Realms, the rules are set by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West. Whatever they say is right is right."

"In the eyes of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, the key point has never been whether your mother is a deity or not, but that your family has violated the rules they set. They do not allow anyone to challenge their authority. Even if you just stand on the street and point at the sky to curse them, they will send down heavenly lightning to strike you. Do you think they will let you off just because the Third Holy Mother voluntarily gave up her celestial status?"

This is not an exaggeration by Shen Yi. There is such a person at the end of the prequel. He cursed the heavens and the earth because of the injustice of the world. If it weren't for Yang Jian's intervention, he might have been directly sent to the eighteenth level of hell by the Jade Emperor.

It was precisely because of this, coupled with the Heavenly Servant's extortion, that Yang Jian rebelled against Heaven in anger, only to be stopped by Jin Chanzi, who said that such an act would result in rivers of blood.

But what happens in the end?

In the end, didn't Chenxiang still have to lead everyone to attack the Heavenly Court, forcing the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother to open new Heavenly Laws?

It's a pity that Sun Wukong is no longer the rebellious Sun Wukong of yesteryear, and Chenxiang has been taught too well by Sun Wukong.
