Taishang Laojun looked at the two of them, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Even I cannot act freely now, which is why the rebellion at Flower Fruit Mountain has remained impossible to suppress. It truly is a headache." Taishang Laojun smiled again.
Yang Jian sat there without speaking.
"General Erlang, do you have any thoughts on this?" Taishang Laojun asked with a smile.
Yang Jian paused, then said, "Laojun, do you want to hear the truth, or something pleasant?"
"Of course, the truth. I have long grown tired of those flattering pleasantries," Taishang Laojun said.
Yang Jian said, "To be honest, I, Yang Jian, support Flower Fruit Mountain. Though they are demons and have become enemies of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court forced them into it.
What kind of person the ruler of the Heavenly Court is now, Laojun knows very well. If the ruler of the Heavenly Court were truly capable, do you think Goku and the people of Flower Fruit Mountain would have rebelled?"
Taishang Laojun said, "They would not have."
"That is why I support Flower Fruit Mountain. Flower Fruit Mountain has done nothing wrong; the ones at fault are those in the Heavenly Court. If anyone asks me to deal with Flower Fruit Mountain, I will absolutely refuse." Yang Jian spoke with a firm gaze.
