The Jade Emperor, Someone Has an Opinion of You

Inspection Department.

The first thing True Lord Lu did after taking office the next day was to select the worthy and promote the capable, elevating Zhang Jian to spirit official.

None of the other Spirit Officials had any objections to this.

Zhang Jian was an old hand with deep seniority. He should have become a spirit official long ago; as for why he had failed to do so, they understood that better than anyone.

Star Lord Wuqu Nangong Kuo had a few negligible little opinions about this decision, but True Lord Lu overruled them.

He was a True Lord and Marshal—did he still need to listen to a Star Lord pointing fingers and telling him what to do?

"Ah, True Lord, try to take it in stride. I truly regret what happened to you."

Marshal Tianpeng pondered with a solemn face. "You merely failed to rescue Great Emperor Gouchen, that's all. But Heavenly King Li and his son, and Nezha, weren't they rescued? Tell me, just what is His Majesty the Jade Emperor thinking?"

Lu Chuan glanced at him and said, amused, "That's something I've racked my brains over a hundred times without understanding too. Why don't you ask him for me, Tianpeng?"

Tianpeng gave a dry laugh. "I say, Sagely Protection, the moment I heard your news, I ran over to comfort you. Even if you don't appreciate it, you can't set me up like this, can you?"

"Stop gilding your own face. Look at me—do I look like someone who needs comforting?"

Lu Chuan said, "But speaking of which, I heard the Jade Emperor bestowed on you a divine weapon forged by the combined efforts of the gods. Not bad, you fellow. The Jade Emperor treats you practically better than his dau—"

Tianpeng looked over with a grin.
