It had been a long time since we last talked about Sun Wukong, so today, let us talk about him.
Since the Demon-Subduing Patriarch had deigned to speak, reminding Chen Wei to seek out Sun Wukong if anything arose and hinting that this spirit insect was far from ordinary...
What was there left to think about?
Under the usual procedure for official assignments, when trouble arose, one first gritted one's teeth and faced it alone, then ran all over the Three Realms begging grandfathers and pleading with grandmothers, and finally invited some mighty figure to intervene.
Chen Wei had always valued efficiency.
Since troublesome matters invariably ended with someone searching the Three Realms for a mighty figure to settle them, why not go straight to that figure from the start?
And so.
A Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud descended outside Pure Heart Temple, carrying none other than Chen Wei and Yang Chan.
Why had Yang Chan come instead of Han Li?
Because before Chen Wei set out, his little princess had insisted on accompanying him to the Mortal Realm on assignment. Her reason was impeccably high-minded: since she held a post at the Discipline Inspection Court, she could not simply collect her immortal stipend from the Heavenly Court for nothing. If she spent all day idling in her mansion and word got out, she would surely disgrace her uncle, the Great Heavenly Venerable.
With such righteous words coming from her mouth, how could Chen Wei dare utter even half a word of refusal?
As for whether she truly wanted to bring honor to her uncle, or merely wanted an excuse to keep an eye on Chen Wei, lest he use demon-subduing as a pretext to flirt with other female immortals in the Mortal Realm...
There was no way to verify such things,
