That single "Wouldn't that be a bad idea?" left every immortal dumbfounded. The Heavenly Dao sure was chatty today, and so approachable! But why did it feel so fake?
It really did feel fake. The Heavenly Dao had always been cold and aloof, rarely coming down among the rank and file like this. The immortals were overwhelmed by the attention. They had long since forgotten all about that blasted principal position. Only one thought remained: the Heavenly Dao had come down for an inspection! They finally had a chance to get up close to it.
Fake? That doubt vanished in an instant. The overwhelming pressure in the sky was no fake. A faint sense of fear and oppression had already risen from the depths of their souls, almost compelling them to kneel. What else could this be but the Heavenly Dao?
"Absolutely right!" The Jade Emperor looked thrilled. Just listen to how the Heavenly Dao phrased that! "Wouldn't that be a bad idea?" What did that mean? It clearly opposed Matchmaker Yue's suggestion. That bastard Natural Daoist wasn't suitable! "The Heavenly Dao truly sees everything clearly!"
Thousand-Mile Eye gave him a strange look. That wasn't what you used to say. You called it crazy!
"Haha! The Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Dao, after all. How could that fellow Natural Daoist possibly be suitable? All he does is mess around!" Lord Lao laughed too. A good old fight is the way to go. Have at it, everyone.
Ziwei had just been about to leave when those words stopped him in his tracks. "Let's watch a little longer. The late-night snack can wait!"
"Your Majesty, it looks like we have a chance!"
Confucius and Wenqu were all smiles. The Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Dao, balancing everything and seeing through it all.
