We're Learning a Foreign Language! (Continued)

Bai Chen was truly unafraid that Haotian would complain to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, because everything he, the Great God Bai Chen, did was to uphold the Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws.

And what about Haotian?

He indulged in frivolous pursuits, became obsessed with women, and caused chaos in the Heavenly Court. What he did not only disgrace him, but also the face of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

After Bai Chen's reprimand, Haotian lowered his head and remained silent.

Just as Bai Chen's men were ransacking the Jade Emperor Palace, Yaoji, the Goddess of Law Enforcement in the Desire Realm, arrived.

Yaoji didn't notice anything unusual at first, after all, Bai Chen and his group were grabbing anyone they saw, and their movements were incredibly swift.

It wasn't until Bai Chen set fire to the Taichen Palace that Yaoji discovered something was wrong in the Heavenly Court.

Upon seeing her brothers Haotian and Donghua captured, Yaoji immediately questioned Bai Chen:

"Bai Chen, why did you arrest my brother?"

Yaoji felt that Bai Chen had gone too far; every time this Evil Cat came to her and her brother's territory, it was to bully them.

Bai Chen used to only hit people at most, but now he's arresting people and ransacking his own brother's dojo. Does this mean he'll just kill them all from now on?

"Hehe!"

Faced with Yaoji's questioning, Bai Chen sneered, then put his hands on his hips and coldly replied:

"Yaoji, Haotian, as the Jade Emperor, together with Donghua, violated the Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws, engaging in illicit relations with the Heavenly Court and committing adultery with the fox spirit of Qingqiu!"

"I, the Heavenly Emperor, have come by the Imperial Decree of Nuwa and Houtu to capture them and bring them to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall the Four Brahma Heavens for judgment!"

Bai Chen didn't give Haotian and the other person any face at all, and said it directly in front of Yaoji.

"Bai Chen, you're talking nonsense! My brother would never do such a thing!"

Yaoji vehemently denied Bai Chen's advances. Her elder brother, Haotian, was the Jade Emperor; how could he possibly have an affair with a lowly fox spirit from Qingqiu?

Bai Chen must have slandered his own brother to ruin his reputation.

Bai Chen pointed at Haotian, who was completely naked and tied up with the fox woman, and scolded Yaoji:

"Yaoji, are you lying through your teeth?"

"Didn't you see that Haotian was caught red-handed by this Heavenly Emperor, being dragged off his bed by my men while he was having an affair with the fox spirit from Qingqiu?"

Bai Chen felt that Yaoji was protecting Haotian, and that her protection was too obvious, considering the facts were already laid bare.

Even with the facts laid bare before her, Yaoji still found it hard to believe. She turned her gaze to her brother, Haotian, seeking an answer.

Faced with his younger sister's questioning gaze, Haotian lowered his head in shame.

Although Haotian did not answer, Yaoji understood that he had admitted to having an affair with the fox spirit of Qingqiu.

At this moment, Bai Chen spoke up, sternly questioning Yaoji, saying:

"Yaoji, Heavenly Emperor remember you were appointed as the Goddess of Desire by the Dao Ancestor, right?"

"You really don't know about Haotian and Donghua's illicit affair in Heavenly Court?"

Bai Chen had originally caught two big fish, Haotian and Donghua, and was preparing to return home to bring them back to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Four Brahma Heavens for judgment. He had no intention of causing trouble for Yaoji.

But Yaoji just had to offer herself up, and with such an arrogant attitude, so don't blame me, the Great God Bai Chen, for giving her a good beating today.

"Yaoji, ignore Bai Chen! Go quickly to the Purple Cloud Palace the Great Luo Heaven to find the Dao Ancestor!"

Donghua sent a telepathic message to Yaoji, knowing that Bai Chen was determined to harm him and Haotian today.

Now, this cat may have its eye on Yaoji. The only way for Yaoji to protect herself and avoid being implicated is to go to the Purple Cloud Palace as soon as possible.

"Yaoji, I, the Heavenly Emperor, strongly suspect that you knew about Haotian and Donghua's licentious behavior in the Heavenly Court but failed to report it and even participated in organizing it!"

Bai Chen directly pinned a crime on Yaoji, though of course, Bai Chen didn't just accuse her randomly.

After all, the fact that the Qingqiu Fox Clan entered the Heavenly Court was noticed even by Ji Meng and the others in the Four Brahma Heavens, so it was impossible for Yaoji, as Haotian's sister, not to know.

As long as Yaoji knows about the Qingqiu Fox Clan's infiltration of the Heavenly Court, the charges Bai Chen leveled against Yaoji will be valid.

"Seize her for me, the Heavenly Emperor!"

At Bai Chen's command, Fei Lian made his move and captured Yaoji in an instant.

Seeing his younger sister Yaoji being captured, Haotian began to struggle frantically and roared:

"Bai Chen, my sister doesn't know about this; it has nothing to do with her."

"Take your grudges at me! Let her go!"

Although Haotian's character was a bit flawed, he was still a fairly competent elder brother.

"Haotian, you think you can just say it's unrelated? We need to investigate to find out!"

"Haotian, your blatant protection Heavenly Emperor Yaoji makes me even more suspicious that she's involved in this matter. We must investigate thoroughly!"

Bai Chen ruthlessly rejected Haotian. If he agreed to Haotian's request, wouldn't that be admitting that he was settling a personal score?

The Great God Bai Chen is upholding the Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws, so anyone who might violate them must be investigated and interrogated.

"Bai Chen, don't think I don't know you're trying to force a confession out of me!"

Bai Chen was infamous in the Primordial World, and Haotian wasn't stupid; he understood exactly what tricks the other party was up to.

"Haotian, stop slandering Heavenly Emperor! I am always fair and Heavenly Emperor, and I will never let a bad person go unpunished or wrong an innocent one!"

Enraged, Bai Chen used his magic to condense a whip and lashed it fiercely at Haotian.

With that lash, Haotian was left a bloody mess, Haotian as if his Primordial Spirit True Spirit was being torn to pieces.

"Whoosh!"

Haotian, having recovered his strength, was panting heavily.

convex

Haotian glared at Bai Chen. The interrogation hadn't even started yet, and this cat had already begun to torture him. He himself would never believe that this cat was incapable of using torture to extract a confession.

Because Yaoji took the initiative to come to his door, Bai Chen led his men to loot the Jade Emperor Palace of stolen goods and evidence. After purifying the Jade Emperor Palace with a Bright Holy Fire, he turned around and led his men to Yaoji's dojo.

As before, after collecting all the evidence and stolen goods, we used the Bright Holy Fire to purify and cleanse the sins and filth.

After finishing all the work, Donghua, Haotian, and their siblings, along with all the Qingqiu Fox Clan, were captured and brought back to the Four Brahma Heavens.

Yaochi, the ruler of the Eighteen Heavens of Form Realm, never showed herself from beginning to end.

Yaochi had sensed something was wrong long ago, and she also knew about the despicable things Haotian and Donghua had done.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yaochi did not show herself after Haotian and the others were captured.

"Ji Meng, Fei Lian, I am going to the Purple Cloud Palace Heavenly Emperor. You two need to give Heavenly Emperor a good 'interrogation'."

Bai Chen captured Dao Ancestor Hongjun's people, so naturally he had to go and explain the situation.

However, in its last words before leaving, it emphasized the word 'interrogation'.

Bai Chen felt that if Dao Ancestor Hongjun wanted to protect Haotian, he would have to make Haotian suffer a lot before releasing him.

"We will obey the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Decree!"

Ji Meng and Fei Lian bowed to Bai Chen Bai Chen, understanding his meaning.

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace the Great Luo Heaven...

"Bai Chen requests an audience with the Dao Ancestor!"

Bai Chen bowed and greeted the palace gates, after which the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace opened.

Bai Chen arrived at the main hall and met Dao Ancestor Hongjun, bowing and paying his respects once again.

After gesturing for Bai Chen to dispense with formalities, Dao Ancestor Hongjun said:

"Bai Chen, I already know why you've come. Tell me, how should this matter be handled?"

This time Dao Ancestor Hongjun was very disappointed in Haotian. Although he knew that this matter was somewhat related to Bai Chen, the connection was not significant.

Bai Chen simply thickened the line connecting Donghua and Bai Fengjiu's fate; this cat was clearly aiming to mess with Donghua.

As for Haotian, it was entirely his own fault; he practically delivered himself to their doorstep!

"Dao Ancestor, Donghua's licentious behavior in the Heavenly Court warrants the removal of his Three Flowers on the Crown and Five Qi in the Chest, and his imprisonment in the Six Paths of Reincarnation to suffer the torment of a thousand lifetimes."

"But Haotian violated the Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws, suppressing them for a thousand years. Is this acceptable?"

Bai Chen still gave Dao Ancestor Hongjun some face and blurred the lines regarding Haotian's crimes.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun shook his head at Bai Chen's handling of the matter and said:

"Bai Chen, you need not worry about my reputation. Haotian, as the Jade Emperor, was easily bewitched by Donghua, unable to uphold his true principles, and committed a grave error. He deserves severe punishment!"

"Now that the Heavenly Court is being rebuilt, these two, as Heavenly Court pillars, have violated the Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws. Use them as a warning to others!"

This time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not protect Haotian, but instead told Bai Chen to handle the matter as he saw fit.

Why didn't Dao Ancestor Hongjun protect Haotian?

Firstly, Haotian's importance is not yet significant enough to cause Dao Ancestor Hongjun to lose face.

Secondly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson and needs to be impartial.

Thirdly, although severely punishing Haotian would negatively impact the reputation of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it would also have positive effects, such as demonstrating impartiality and selflessness.

The fourth point, and the most important one.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun protected Haotian, then what's the difference Nuwa and Houtu, who protected Bai Chen?

!!!

Bai Chen was startled upon hearing this. It hadn't expected that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would actually ask it to handle Haotian impartially. Something was wrong!

Bai Chen thought about it carefully. Dao Ancestor Hongjun could ignore even those disciples of the sages, let alone Haotian, a mere gatekeeper.

"The Dao Ancestor!"

After regaining his senses, Bai Chen bowed and paid his respects to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Haotian, now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun is no longer concerned about you, you're doomed.
