The scene was silent. Hongjun stared at the sky for a long while, but the Jade Emperor did not even dare let out a peep. He had still been able to kneel and look up at the heavens just now, but now he lowered his eyes obediently and refused to raise his head no matter what.
The Jade Emperor was unhappy. What kind of behavior was this? Was Hongjun just baiting him into talking so he could insult him? Was it fun to curse at him every time he asked a question?
The Jade Emperor chickened out and sighed inwardly. Heavenly Dao is sick today. I'm not playing with you.
Even Heavenly Dao's direct confidant would not speak, so the other Imperial Lords naturally dared not touch this sore spot either. The Jade Emperor was the perfect example. Whoever stepped forward now would die. No one was an idiot; silence was golden.
The Imperial Lords all stared at the ground without speaking. Every righteous god of the Heavenly Court was even more terrified. Offending Heavenly Dao was a calamity of monstrous proportions. Who knew what else he might do afterward?
Matchmaker Yue knelt on the ground and cautiously glanced at Lü Dongbin beside him, his eyes darting as if to ask, What do we do now? Lü Dongbin shook his head and continued looking at the ground. What else could they do? Nothing.
No one spoke! The Heavenly Court's open-air work meeting instantly fell into endless awkwardness.
How depressing! Hongjun clenched his fists. Qin Fen, that bastard, had really ruined him this time!
As his newly recruited lackey, Lu Ya was still unconscious. Looking around the Heavenly Court, Hongjun suddenly realized that he no longer had any confidants. "How am I supposed to handle this?"
