"The secret of heaven must not be revealed. You will know it when it is time for you to know it."
Di Jun did not answer Jiang Yuan's question, but asked him, "Min Heaven There are rumors over there that you are extorting money on the basis of your identity, making all races miserable."
"Do you have an explanation for this?"
Although Jiang Yuan was disappointed that he could not solve the doubts in his heart, he did not dare to ask further questions. Instead, he explained Di Jun's inquiry:
"This is a rumor. Min Heaven Demon Clan deliberately spread rumors to slander me in order to cover up his own mistakes."
After saying that, without waiting for Di Jun to ask Min Heaven what Demon Clan had done, Jiang Yuan continued:
"When I first arrived at Heavenly Court, I was supposed to see Heavenly Emperor, but then I came to visit. There was no point in going empty-handed."
"That's why I deliberately stayed at Min Heaven, preparing to draw a Min Heaven Map, and write a Min Heaven Spirit Herb Illustrated Handbook to dedicate to Heavenly Emperor."
"That's what my disciple thought and what he did. However, Min Heaven Demon Clan is extremely arrogant. When they saw that the disciple was alone, they thought that the disciple was easy to bully, so they thought of killing people and seizing the treasure."
"The disciple had no choice but to resist while revealing his identity. In this way, the crisis was relieved, but Min Heaven Demon Clan also knew that he had caused big trouble."
"Afterwards, they were worried about being punished by Heavenly Court, so they maliciously slandered me and described everything I did as extortion."
"In this way, they become victims. Even if Heavenly Court knows that they are at fault, it is not easy to continue to blame them."
With these words, Jiang Yuan not only shirked his own responsibility, but also accused Heavenly Court of being lax in discipline, which caused Demon Clan to cause trouble to Min Heaven and almost cost his life.
Therefore, Di Jun should not only blame him, but also compensate him in return.
"You are as sharp-tongued as ever. If you had revealed your identity earlier, who Min Heaven Demon Clan would have dared to offend you?"
Di Jun sneered.
"Your Majesty is joking, even if I am a disciple of Sage, I can't stick these four words on my forehead when I go out, right?"
"Also, I never thought about hiding my identity. It's just that when Min Heaven Demon Clan took action, he didn't even bother to ask, and he didn't even give me a chance to speak."
"When they act like this, you can tell at a glance that they are arrogant and have no respect at all."
Faced with doubts, Jiang Yuan has plenty of reasons to refute.
"You..."
Di Jun wanted to say more, but Jiang Yuan didn't give him a chance to speak, and just listened to him continue:
"Your Majesty, I still have something unclear. I'm afraid Min Heaven Demon Clan is a little too brave. They know that I am a disciple of Sage, but they dare to maliciously spread rumors and slander me."
"In this regard, I have to suspect that they are not actually going after me, but are being instigated by others to discredit the Emperor Xi and Empress Wa behind me by slandering me."
"Your Majesty, please order a strict investigation into this matter!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan said this, the whole High Heaven Palace suddenly fell silent.
This guess is too bold, but it has to be said that it makes sense. Because in order to gain power, Di Jun indeed ordered people to secretly collect dirty information about Emperor Xi Empress Wa Kunpeng.
Although this matter is secretive, there is no airtight wall in the world. Many people have noticed it, but they all understand it tacitly and dare not speak out.
"Shut up, you have no business talking nonsense in front of Heavenly Emperor. Why don't you quickly present the gift you prepared and let Heavenly Emperor see if you are satisfied?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Emperor Xi scolded Jiang Yuan and quietly changed the subject.
Even though he looked angry on his face, he was happy in his heart. Jiang Yuan could be said to have spoken out his innermost thoughts. He understood Di Jun's desire to seize power.
But in order to seize power, he ordered people to go around to collect his mistakes, which was a bit too much. Emperor Xi was very dissatisfied with this, but it was not easy to fall out with Di Jun over such a trivial matter.
Now Jiang Yuan unintentionally revealed this matter, which was exactly what he wanted.
He didn't make a big deal out of it, but stabbed Di Jun secretly to remind him that he had gone too far and it was time to stop, so as not to force him to fight back.
"What kind of gift is it? Please bring it to me first."
Worried that Di Jun and Emperor Xi would quarrel, Eastern Sovereign reconciled the situation at the right time. I have to say that Heavenly Court would have broken up long ago without Eastern Sovereign.
After Lady Nuwa became a saint, Di Jun was worried that Emperor Xi would gain his support and compete with him for the throne, so he kept suppressing Emperor Xi in various ways.
Fortunately, Eastern Sovereign was the mediator and tried his best to ease the relationship between the two. Otherwise, the two would have broken up and split Demon Clan in two.
"It's Min Heaven Map and Min Heaven Spirit Herb Illustrated Handbook. The former was drawn by a disciple who collected the essences from various places in Min Heaven. Your Majesty has obtained it, and you can understand all the changes in Min Heaven even without leaving home."
"The latter is made by a disciple who has tasted Min Heaven spiritual herbs. It records in detail the medicinal effects and harvesting methods of these spiritual herbs, etc."
"Your Majesty has obtained it, and can use this book to teach Demon Clan, so that they can know the efficacy of Wancao, and then use it to save themselves and heal their injuries."
Present Min Heaven Map and Min Heaven Spirit Herb Illustrated Handbook that you have not compiled yet, Jiang Yuan said.
"It's really a great gift. With this thing here, who will dare to say that I, Heavenly Court, am not good at martial arts in the future?"
Originally, Eastern Sovereign didn't care much, but I thought Jiang Yuan and Heavenly Immortal could come up with some decent gifts?
He never thought that Jiang Yuan really gave him a surprise. This gift is more important to Heavenly Court than a top-quality Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"It is indeed a great gift. I can see that you have put your heart into it. I misunderstood you before. I didn't expect that you were not just messing around at Min Heaven, but were really doing business."
"Min Heaven Demon Clan mistaken me, I should be killed!"
I don't know if Di Jun was angry before, but now he is absolutely overjoyed. He was so happy that he took the initiative to admit that he had misunderstood Jiang Yuan before. He was not fooling around in Min Heaven, but was really doing business.
"Although Min Heaven Demon Clan is indeed guilty, which resulted in the failure of compiling the treasure book of my divine map. But the crime is not worthy of death. I hope Your Majesty will be merciful and order them not to commit murder for a hundred years to show repentance. They will not go on a killing spree in Min Heaven."
After hearing Di Jun's "angry" words, Jiang Yuan instead interceded for Min Heaven Demon Clan. He knew very well that Di Jun was just talking on the spot and would not pursue Min Heaven Demon Clan at all afterwards.
But he didn't care about this, he just assumed that Di Jun was telling the truth, and then he began to plead for Min Heaven Demon Clan, and suggested that Di Jun give them minor punishments and large admonitions.
In this way, Min Heaven Demon Clan was punished, and not only could they not resent Jiang Yuan afterwards, but they should also thank him for interceding for them and others.
He is really a good guy and a bad guy, and he did it all.
"You!"
Hearing this, Di Jun laughed angrily, but did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Baize and said to him:
"Did you hear that? Go to Min Heaven and do as Di Yuan said. You order Min Heaven Demon Clan not to kill anyone for a hundred years as a sign of repentance."
After saying that, Di Jun looked at Jiang Yuan again and asked, "Tell me what you want. Your gift is meritorious. As long as the request is not excessive, I will satisfy you."
