This time, Jade Emperor Number Three's incarnation gave Li Changshou a somewhat different impression.
He seemed far more even-tempered than before...
Whether Bian Zhuang misspoke or Lü Yue spoke disrespectfully, Qin Tianzhu merely smiled, shook his head, and let it pass.

He actually remembered that in the original story of the Investiture of the Gods, Lü Yue had met a rather miserable end as well. He had been beaten soundly by Chan Teaching's third generation. On his first descent from the mountain, he lost four disciples; on his second, Yang Ren, who had little cultivation, used the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan to fan him into ashes.
