His pupils suddenly shrank.
What was going on?
The Jade Emperor had never made such an arrangement, though he did have some schemes in mind.
His gaze lightly settled on Niangniang Shen Jiang beside him.
Shen Jiang immediately explained through divine abilities without showing anything outwardly.
"Your Majesty, I knew you had a scheme in mind, so I took this opportunity to help set it in motion."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly upon hearing this.
He knew Sect Master Tongtian could certainly hear Niangniang Shen Jiang's words.
But even Jiang Ziya did not believe Shen Jiang's intentions were that simple, let alone Sect Master Tongtian, whose wisdom reached the heavens. How could he fail to see that Shen Jiang had ulterior motives?
Before entering the Heavenly Court, Shen Jiang had truly been a virtuous wife and mother, as well as Jiang Ziya's capable helpmate.
But after arriving at the Heavenly Court, she was placed in charge of the Peach Orchard and the Jade Pool, two extremely important places, and she also reached the Saint Venerable Realm.
As more and more people gathered around Shen Jiang, and her prestige grew increasingly formidable, she began to develop greater desires and ambitions!
The fact that she had supported the Shen clan and gradually helped it grow stronger was enough to show that she was no longer the virtuous wife and mother who had been content with a quiet life.
Jiang Ziya had actually already heard that Shen Jiang wanted her own niece to become Nezha's Dao Companion. In truth, she wanted to win Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing's side over to her faction.
Li Jing was the Heavenly Court's Grand Marshal of Military Forces. Since Emperor Ziwei rarely handled affairs, Li Jing was effectively second only to one person and above all others.
