Two Auspicious Clouds landed outside the Palace of Sublime Grandeur in the Eastern Pole. One carried Chen Wei, and the other, naturally, carried Yang Chan, who never left his side.
At present, Court Director Chen was a piping-hot prize in the eyes of the Heavenly Court's female immortals. His real authority was plain for all to see, and with his handsome, likable face thrown into the bargain, countless female immortals found excuses to strike up conversations with him.
Even with the strict Heavenly Laws, Yang Chan dared not let her guard down in the slightest.
The Seven Fairies in particular were seven older sisters with deep schemes, each capable of bending or standing firm as circumstances demanded. To prevent Chen Wei from being snared away, the domineering female immortal could only keep him under close watch around the clock. She almost wished she could tie him up with an Immortal-Binding Rope.
Without realizing it, Chen Wei had come to enjoy the same treatment Xuanzang had received back in the day.
But he had no time for romance. His mind was filled with ways to make an impression on Great Emperor Qinghua and win his favor.
The Immortal Official on guard outside the hall originally wore a stern expression, all solemn, by-the-book professionalism. But when he saw that the descending clouds were superior-grade Auspicious Clouds, then took a closer look at Chen Wei and Yang Chan's faces, his expression changed at once.
It was the Third Holy Mother and the newly appointed Court Director Chen of Tongming Hall's Censorate!
The Immortal Official immediately put on a flattering, respectful smile and bowed repeatedly. "Please wait a moment, esteemed High Immortals. This humble official will announce your arrival to the Great Emperor at once!"
Such had always been the Heavenly Court Iron Law.
