Lin Qiye pondered for a moment. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Lin Qiye coughed in the room, and the door opened automatically. Xiao Hei Lai came panting in from outside with his tongue hanging out. Seeing a strange man suddenly appear in the room, he froze for a moment before darting in front of Lin Qiye and growling fiercely at Monkey King.
Monkey King, still in the form of a middle-aged man, raised his brows slightly when he saw the dog.
"Howling Celestial Dog..."
"Easy. He's not a bad person."
Lin Qiye reached out and patted Xiao Hei Lai's head. The latter immediately became docile, licking his palm before transforming into the Dog-skin Wheelchair and letting Lin Qiye sit down.
Seeing how close the man and dog were, confusion surfaced in Monkey King's eyes.
"How do you know Howling Celestial Dog so well?"
"Oh, he's my little brother's dog." Lin Qiye paused, then added, "My little brother is Yang Jian."
"???"
It was the first time Lin Qiye had seen such a stunned expression on Monkey King's face.
Monkey King frowned at Lin Qiye, seemingly unable to understand how his former rival and friend had become Lin Qiye's little brother. By that logic, wouldn't his own seniority have dropped as well?
"I'll explain the details on the way," Lin Qiye said.
Monkey King nodded slightly and turned to leave the room. Standing outside the courtyard, he looked around at the layered immortal mountains and Immortal Palaces, as well as the immortal cranes and deities occasionally passing overhead. For a moment, he seemed dazed.
Lin Qiye rolled out of the room in his wheelchair. Seeing Monkey King standing at the entrance like a statue, he silently stopped behind him and did not go forward to disturb him.
Monkey King remained there
