Yang Chan's Doubt

When Yang Jian arrived at Mount Hua with his Howling Celestial Dog, he found Richard, Yang Chan, and Xiao Yao chatting and laughing.

The small banquet that was held earlier has long since ended.

Neither Richard nor Yang Chan were people who craved food, and even Xiao Yao only liked to eat foods rich in energy.

So most of the time was spent just scratching the surface, and then chatting.

A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth.

Even though the Howling Celestial Dog is very fast, it still takes time to get through the Heavenly Court's checkpoints.

Therefore, Yang Jian arrived several days later.

In the past few days, Richard has not been in a hurry to move around in this world, but has continued to stay at Yang Chan's dojo.

This world is quite different from the world before; there are too many capable people, so we still need to be careful.

These past few days, he's been trying his best to find out from Yang Chan about the locations of the powerful figures' dojos in this world, lest he accidentally stumble upon the home of some big shot.

Leaving aside the famous immortals and deities who appeared in the film and television adaptation of "The Lotus Lantern," Richard is quite clear about their roles.

However, there are other immortals and gods who are not so famous, but whose strength is by no means weak, and even some immortals and gods from ancient times, who have now basically gone into seclusion.

He didn't know the locations of these gods and immortals, which is why he needed to ask.

Upon asking, she discovered there were far too many. Yang Chan alone knew over a hundred, and she even said that she only knew a small portion of them, with many more people she didn't know.

If you really want to know, you'll have to ask her second brother.

The more you understand, the deeper you realize the nature of this world.

"Third Sister," Yang Jian called out.

"Second Brother?" Yang Chan turned around and saw Yang Jian standing not far away with Howling Celestial Dog.

Richard naturally saw the two of them as well. He sighed inwardly: They've finally arrived.

A man dressed in black robes, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an imposing air, and holding an iron fan, stood outside the Daoist temple with a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, holding a bone club.

This person is Yang Jian of this world, the Heavenly Court Judicial God of the Heavenly Court, and also a doting brother to his sister.

"Fellow Daoist, Yang Jian greets you." Yang Jian looked at Richard.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Richard returned the greeting.

"May I ask where you come from in the Chaos?" Yang Jian asked.

Unlike the Howling Celestial Dog, who turned pale at the mention of chaos, Yang Jian didn't care much about chaos.

As far as he knew, many ancient deities who were detached from worldly affairs had established their dojos in the chaos at the edge of the world.

They didn't want to be disturbed, but they also didn't want to leave this world completely, so they made this choice.

Therefore, Yang Jian felt that this Richard might have come from the dojo of some great god, with some ancient god standing behind him.

He had no choice but to be cautious, as his position was far from as glamorous as it appeared.

In the Heavenly Court, he was both a loyal and upright official.

His position made other gods and immortals dare not get too close to him, and they would even stay away from him.

He indeed couldn't casually befriend too many immortals and gods, otherwise he would be suspected of favoritism and corruption.

Let alone befriending him, it's hard to say how many of the immortals and gods he punished would harbor resentment.

In the Heavenly Court, he was truly disliked; in fact, if it weren't for his formidable strength, he might have been ambushed long ago.

Those people might not dare to do anything to him, but they might target those close to him.

Therefore, it is understandable that he was worried about Richard's identity and believed that Richard might have some ulterior motives in approaching Yang Chan.

"My world is in chaos and quite far from yours. It was by chance that I was able to come to your world."

Fellow Daoist Yang Jian, there's no need to worry. I truly have no ill intentions towards the Third Holy Mother.

As Richard spoke, he conjured a wisp of creative energy.

"Fate..." Yang Jian murmured.

"I didn't expect you to be from the lineage of Nuwa Yang Jian. I apologize for my rudeness." Yang Jian's judgment was not bad. This kind of pure creation energy could not be faked by ordinary people. It required a deep understanding of the Dao of Creation.

This identity was quite convincing; at least Yang Jian stopped questioning his background.

"Fellow Daoist, did you come here for the Lotus Lantern?" Yang Jian looked at the Lotus Lantern on the lotus platform, its light shimmering faintly.

Third Sister, isn't this Lotus Lantern the only connection you have with the Nuwa?

"No, True Lord, there is no need for doubt. I did not come for the Lotus Lantern."

"Since the Lotus Lantern has already recognized Fellow Yang Chan as its master, then it is her destiny with the Lotus Lantern," Richard said.

"If Your Majesty has nothing urgent to discuss, why not sit down and have a chat? I'm quite curious about things in Heavenly Court," Richard said.

"Then let's sit for a while." Yang Jian had been thinking the same thing, and upon hearing the invitation, he came over with his Howling Celestial Dog, and sat down cross-legged.

Richard took out some spiritual fruits and tea from the Origin World, and Xiao Yao, with her keen eye, prepared a small tea table for each person.

He was indeed quite curious about some things, and after chatting with Yang Chan these past few days, he learned that she hadn't made any preparations whatsoever.

All she wanted was for herself to stop falling in love with Liu Yanchang.

There wouldn't have been so many subsequent problems, and my second brother wouldn't have had to compromise himself to rescue her.

But she never imagined that a thousand-year-old goddess like herself could fall in love with a man so easily. Was there anything wrong with that?

After spending these past few days together, he could tell that Yang Chan wasn't love-struck; she was just a bit naive because she had always been protected by Yang Jian. Otherwise, she was fine.

She is by no means willful; if her character weren't good enough, the Lotus Lantern wouldn't have recognized her as its master, would it?

That makes things a bit more complicated.

Yang Chan was most likely set up by someone.

After Liu Yanchang appeared, she seemed to lose her mind, abandoning all her responsibilities and the rules of heaven.

This is a stark contrast to her current behavior.

That's completely out of character for her.

In this mythical world, there are far too many ways to do this.

For example, there's the red thread of fate from the Heavenly Court Yue Lao, powerful individuals who have mastered the path of desire, and powerful individuals who are well-versed in Karma Law and effect and Fate —there are just too many to list.

Yang Chan was completely stunned when Richard told her all this.

She still thought it was just that she couldn't bear the heavenly rules and had fallen in love with a mortal.

Richard even asked her at the time, "Didn't you ask Lin Feng about it in the group chat?"

From Lin Feng's perspective as a long -Dimension, he'd definitely analyze the conspiracy theories for her and show off a bit.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Chan said she hadn't asked at all; ever since Lin Feng sent her the plot, she had been reading it herself.

I felt so ashamed that I never mentioned my situation in the group chat.

Okay, I feel like if I don't help this group member out, she'll have to go back to the old storyline.

This isn't something that can be solved simply by being on guard.

Marriage, desire, Karma Law —it's all complicated.

She needs to take action and find out who is plotting against her, otherwise she won't be able to break free from this predicament.

Even with her abilities, she couldn't break the deadlock by force alone.

Perfect timing, since Yang Jian is here, we can ask him.
