A cat that lingers beside a saint

A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth.

In just a few breaths, the laurel tree had begun to spread to every corner of the Moon.

If you stand on earth and look up at the sky, you will see a full moon, shimmering with silver light, hanging high in the sky.

Su Bai stood beside Wu Gang, his cat-like face staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

He never expected that Wu Gang would stop for such a short time and the laurel tree would instantly cover the entire Taiyin Star.

"Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Wu Gang laughed and said, "You just asked me if I was annoyed? Well, I am a little annoyed now."

Su Bai was speechless.

This is using his own words to shut him up, and the key is that he can't find a reason to refute them.

Just as Su Bai was about to say something, Wu Gang suddenly raised his axe. As his magic power surged, the axe in his hand began to flash a scarlet red.

The next second, he suddenly swung his great axe, and a red light instantly covered the entire Taiyin Star. Then, the laurel trees that had been spreading outwards turned to dust under this red light.

Upon seeing this, Su Bai's mouth dropped open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

A moment later, Su Bai remembered the purpose of his visit and hurriedly shouted, "Leave me one! Leave me one!"

Wu Gang had clearly heard Su Bai's words; with a slight movement of his axe tip, a branch fell into his hand.

Just as he was about to hand it to Su Bai, he withdrew his hand.

"In this way, if you promise me one thing, I will give you this item."

"Okay, no problem."

Wu Gang's lips curled up slightly, and without the slightest hesitation, he tossed the branch to Su Bai.

Su Bai took the laurel branch, fearing that Wu Gang would change his mind, and quickly stuffed it into the small sword.

"Speak, what is it?"

Wu Gang was clearly not afraid that Su Bai would go back on his word, so he picked up his axe and walked forward.

"Some time ago, I heard from the Jade Rabbit that she heard in the mortal world that there is a kind of wine called Osmanthus Wine. It is said that the person who brewed this wine has the same name as me. I am very curious about what this wine tastes like."

"If you come again next time, remember to bring me a pot of it."

Su Bai was taken aback, and looked at Wu Gang in confusion, asking, "That's it?"

"I thought you would let me find a way to get you out of this place."

Wu Gang gently shook his head: "Cutting down trees is my responsibility and my mission. No one else can do this."

"Although this laurel branch retains some Yin energy, it must never be planted in a place with excessive Yin energy, otherwise you will have seen what happened just now."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai nodded repeatedly.

He did indeed see what happened just now.

But upon closer reflection, if it were planted in a Taoist temple, there shouldn't be any problems.

After all, there is a hibiscus tree in the yard.

……

In fact, Su Bai was preparing to leave after he obtained the laurel branch.

However, he was still very curious about why this man was here.

As for the man's identity, Su Bai had already guessed it when he saw him chopping down the tree with an axe.

What he wanted to know was whether the man in front of him and Chang'e were really having an affair.

Su Bai quickly caught up with Wu Gang and jumped onto Wu Gang's shoulder in a few swift movements.

He peered at Wu Gang for a while, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally voiced his question.

Are you and Chang'e a couple?

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang was taken aback.

He stopped, glanced down at the axe in his hand, and after a moment slowly raised it, asking softly, "What do you see in my hand? Is it an axe or a bow?"

Su Bai was speechless.

He felt that there was something else behind Wu Gang's words, but just as he was about to ask more questions, Wu Gang suddenly raised his hand and gently tapped his forehead.

When he came to his senses, he had already left the Moon Star.

At that moment, he was suspended in mid-air.

Feeling his feet sink into thin air, Su Bai subconsciously looked down and saw that his body was falling rapidly.

This really scared him.

Meanwhile, in the Zhenjun Temple at Guankou, Yang Jian was lying in his own courtyard, quietly watching the moon being swallowed by that red light.

But soon, his third eye suddenly twitched slightly.

In his third eye, Yang Jian clearly saw a black dot flying rapidly toward him from high above.

Because it was nighttime, Yang Jian couldn't immediately tell what the black dot was.

But as the black dot got closer and closer to him, Yang Jian's eyes twitched slightly, and the next second he appeared in mid-air and pulled Su Bai into his arms.

At this moment, Su Bai had already started rolling his eyes.

He had even imagined what he would look like after hitting the ground and turning into a puddle of mud.

He even kept slapping at Xiaojian with his claws, but Xiaojian didn't respond at all.

It wasn't until Yang Jian suddenly appeared that he grasped at Yang Jian's clothes as if they were lifelines, his four claws gripping them tightly.

Back on the ground, Yang Jian looked at Su Bai, who was clinging to him, with a slightly helpless expression.

"Junior Uncle, we've reached the ground."

Yang Jian couldn't understand why there was such a big difference between the two disciples of the same sage.

His senior uncles and senior masters were known as the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Those disciples of the Jie Sect back then, except for those who completely disappeared from the world, have basically become the mainstays of the Heavenly Court today.

You should know that during the Investiture of the Gods war, these senior uncles and his peers were all top-notch fighters.

How come when it comes to Su Bai, he can't even do the simplest thing like flying through the clouds?

But thinking about it carefully, judging from Su Bai's appearance, it was clear that he didn't make a mistake while riding the clouds, but rather that he was deliberately dumped here.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Jian reluctantly hugged him and said, "Was Uncle Cat abandoned by someone? Why don't you tell me, who was so blind as to do this? Was it the Jade Emperor?"

Su Bai clung to Yang Jian, taking a while to recover. After several breaths, he exhaled a long breath and said, "Which Wu Gang from the Moon Palace is this?!"

Wu Gang?

Yang Jian was slightly taken aback.

He had seen this person in the Taiyin Star. In Yang Jian's eyes, Wu Gang was nothing more than a fool who only knew how to chop down trees.

How could someone who is only interested in laurel trees throw Su Bai out of the Moon Palace?

Could there be something fishy going on here?

Erlang Shen, who made great contributions in the Investiture of the Gods, was naturally both brave and resourceful.

Aside from being a bit too straightforward, he's no less intelligent than anyone else.

Yang Jian stared at Su Bai with a puzzled look and said, "I've met Wu Gang once before. Apart from chopping down trees in the Moon Palace, he never bothers anyone."

"Could it be that the Little Cat Daoist offended him after entering the Moon Palace?"

At this point, Yang Jian couldn't help but frown slightly.

This doesn't seem to make sense.

How could an honest person who never provokes others possibly get angry over a cat?

There must be something fishy about this.
