A cat that lingers beside a saint

The cave dwelling has been opened.

The statue of the guardian deity was also moved from Yang Chan's temple.

Although it was quite different from the old Taoist priest's usual appearance, it was dignified enough to intimidate evil spirits.

Of course, in Yang Jian's view, this statue was not only enough to scare away evil spirits, but even immortals would have to pay homage to it on the spot.

In the Heavenly Court today, every official, big or small, came from the Jie Sect of yesteryear.

Seeing this statue is like seeing the Tongtian Sect Leader of yesteryear; who would dare to be presumptuous then?

Yang Jian glanced at the cave of the Little Cat Daoist, and the scene of Sun Wukong rebelling against the Heavenly Palace, establishing himself as king on Flower Fruit Mountain, and establishing the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven flashed through his mind.

He had a premonition that one day, this little cat Daoist would actually do such a thing.

Who knows, he might even drag all the gods and immortals of Heaven into becoming a demon king.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian couldn't help but shudder.

……

As Su Bai called out, all the wild cats of Mount Hua began to gather there.

After Su Bai finished explaining to the cats and their offspring, he jumped back onto Yang Jian's shoulder.

Leaning on Yang Jian's shoulder, Su Bai looked at Yang Chan and said, "Junior sister, don't go down the wrong path. You've told me so much today, and I hope you don't just blindly follow what I've said. You need to think carefully about the reasons behind it yourself."

Yang Chan smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, and please rest assured, Second Brother, I will definitely not bring trouble upon myself."

Yang Jian didn't say anything, but his eyes said it all.

He did indeed intend to go to the Heavenly Court to ask the Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother for an official position, so that he could keep a closer eye on Yang Chan, and also on the so-called Wenqu Star Lord.

However, after overhearing the conversation between Little Cat Daoist and Yang Chan, he was fairly certain that his third sister would not do anything to disappoint him.

But we still need to keep an eye on it.

Who told her to be his only family member?

……

Soaring into the sky takes only a blink of an eye.

After entering the South Heavenly Gate, Yang Jian led Su Bai toward the Lingxiao Palace.

Halfway there, a man suddenly appeared from the side, carrying two maces and a cloth bag hanging from his waist.

The man stepped forward, glanced at the kitten in Yang Jian's arms, and then patted his cloth bag.

Suddenly, a purple-gold ferret darted out from among them.

The sable fox coiled in the man's palm, its gaze coldly fixed on Yang Jian. Perhaps noticing Su Bai, its contempt was undisguised.

"Yang Jian, why aren't you staying at the mouth of the Guan River? What brings you to the South Heavenly Gate?"

"I've heard that you obey orders but not summons, but His Majesty has never summoned you to the Heavenly Court."

The speaker was none other than Mo Lishou, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court.

The reason why the sable fox in his hand hated Yang Jian so much was because it almost lost its life after swallowing Yang Jian during the Investiture of the Gods war.

If he hadn't been included in the Investiture of the Gods, he would probably have been annihilated long ago.

"His Majesty has indeed never ordered me to serve, but I am not without divine duties. Why can't I enter the Heavenly Court?"

Mo Lishou smiled faintly. As the guardian of the South Heavenly Gate, Yang Jian would naturally not be stopped if he wanted to enter.

However, it was rather against the rules for Yang Jian to bring such a wild cat of unknown origin into the Heavenly Court.

This is, after all, the Heavenly Court; not just any thing can go in.

If just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter, where is the majesty of Heaven? Where is the dignity of Heaven?

Mo Lishou stood in front of Yang Jian, his gaze fixed on Su Bai.

"I remember that the True Lord always had a dog by his side, why is there a cat today?"

"Could this cat be a dog in disguise?"

Upon hearing this, Su Bai instantly bristled.

You can say whatever you want, but comparing him to a dog is an insult to cats.

Just as Su Bai was getting angry, the sable fox in Mo Lishou's hand also suddenly stood up.

For a moment, the cat and the ferret stared at each other, and they growled at each other continuously.

"A mere kitten that has reached the Nascent Soul stage dares to be so presumptuous in front of me, the Flower Fox Sable. It seems I'll have to take the place of the True Lord and teach him a lesson about the rules of Heaven."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Lishou slightly lifted his hand, and the next second the Flower Fox Sable rushed towards Su Bai.

Yang Jian's expression turned slightly cold upon seeing this, and he was about to make a move when he heard Su Bai say, "It's alright. I've even beaten up the Golden Crow, why would I be afraid of a mere rat?"

Upon hearing the word "rat," the sable flew into a rage.

A pair of wings suddenly unfurled, and then it flew towards Su Bai at an extremely fast speed.

The ferret was very fast and its body grew to a very large size. It opened its mouth wide, ready to swallow Su Bai whole.

It was already close at hand, and its gaping maw was wide open.

Snapped!

Aside from Yang Jian's third eye, Mo Lishou had no idea what had happened. He only saw the Flower Fox Sable lying on the ground with its four legs in the air, its face slightly distorted, and its jaw seemingly dislocated.

Upon seeing this, Mo Lishou's eyes widened in shock.

Yang Jian has made his move?

impossible!

Even if Yang Jian were to make a move, he could not possibly be this fast. Could it be this cat?

That's even more impossible; this cat is only at the Qi Refining stage, and hasn't even become an immortal yet.

Mo Lishou could not believe it.

Yang Jian was equally surprised.

This was the first time he had seen the Little Cat Daoist make a move. Before this, in his understanding, he was just a little cat demon who didn't even know how to fly.

But this move really impressed him, and even made him subconsciously touch his chin.

If that slap were to land on his own face, could he withstand it?

Mo Lishou, pale-faced, picked up the sable fox and pointed at Yang Jian and Su Bai, roaring angrily, "Yang Jian! Although we were on opposing sides back then, we're now colleagues. How could you do such a cruel thing? I'm going to report you to His Majesty!"

Yang Jian raised an eyebrow slightly. Was he going to complain?

I, Yang Jian, have never been afraid of anyone.

However, with the Little Cat Daoist making his move this time, his plan to obtain an official position from the Jade Emperor is likely to fall through.

It's alright, we can always come back next time.

"Go ahead, if you don't report me, you're not Mo Lishou. If I'm scared, I'm not surnamed Yang."

Mo Lishou pointed at Yang Jian with trembling right hand, clearly too angry to speak from the miserable state of the Flower Fox Sable.

Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the Lingxiao Palace.

After Mo Lishou left, Yang Jian sighed helplessly, "Little Cat Daoist has been wronged. I will take full responsibility for this matter. Little Cat Daoist, you can leave first. I will explain to the Jade Emperor. As for Mo Lishou, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

Su Bai wasn't going to stand on ceremony with him. Hearing this, he jumped off Yang Jian's shoulder and chuckled, "Then I'm afraid you'll have to suffer."

Yang Jian smiled calmly and said, "What's there to feel aggrieved about? I don't believe they can do anything to me."

"At worst, I'll cause some trouble too, and while I'm at it, I'll destroy that Wenqu Xingjun's palace."

Just then, Nezha suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "Second brother, are you going to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace? Why don't you help me destroy that tower that Father has as well?"
