In addition, with the heavenly secrets of the Primordial World in utter disarray, even though the Jade Emperor had reached the Quasi-Sage Peak realm, he was unable to deduce how the future would unfold.
Just as the Jade Emperor was feeling thoroughly satisfied, Nezha suddenly entered the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Seeing Nezha return, a smile once again appeared on the Jade Emperor's face. He thought Nezha's mission had gone smoothly. Surely, today was an auspicious day!
Unexpectedly, Nezha spoke with a grave expression: "Great Heavenly Venerate, something went wrong."
As soon as he said this, the smile vanished from the Jade Emperor's face.
The All Gods in the hall put down their wine cups one after another. Their eyes all fell on Nezha as they waited for him to continue.
"Your subject failed in his duty and was unable to bring the Seventh Princess back to Heaven."
As his voice fell, the gods exchanged glances, all revealing puzzled expressions.
The Seventh Princess? The Jade Emperor's seventh daughter, Princess Ziwei—what had happened?
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor's brows knitted tightly before he asked,
"Nezha, you are already a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. The Seventh Princess is merely a Heavenly Immortal. How could she possibly resist you?"
At this question, Nezha's expression immediately turned awkward.
The Jade Emperor could not help growing angry as well. He had thought Nezha was finally willing to obey his orders this time, but unexpectedly, he had still failed to complete the mission!
"Reporting to the Great Heavenly Venerate, an accident occurred along the way."
Nezha stared at the Jade Emperor and said solemnly, "Su Yang, the storyteller at the inn in Qingshan City, interfered and forcibly protected the Seventh Princess."
At these words, everyone in the hall was shocked, and a trace of suspicion flashed through
