Yang Chan and Chang'e

Jiang Zhe knew nothing of the thoughts of the many important figures. At this very moment, he was still puzzling over how to get to the bottom of Joyful Boy's background.

"Liu Family Village..." Jiang Zhe looked at the location displayed on the system, deep in thought.

If he had guessed correctly, this Liu Family Village should be Liu Yanchang's home, right?

Then could this Joyful Boy be Liu Yanchang's ancestor?

Or had Joyful Boy kept reincarnating, all the way into the world a thousand years later, where he gained a new identity as Liu Yanchang?

With Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva pulling strings in the Underworld, it would be quite convenient.

Should he go take a look at Liu Family Village?

According to the system's mission prompt, Joyful Boy had retained his so-called memories.

Night fell. A thousand li from Mount Hua, a golden light stood upon the clouds! It was a muscular golden figure.

The figure roared like a tiger.

In a house not far from the Third Holy Mother Temple on Mount Hua, a woman who had been admiring the moon slowly raised her head.

Lotus-shaped spiritual light flashed in her eyes, falling upon the golden light.

"The Buddhist Order? What is the power of Spirit Mountain doing on Mount Hua?" Her kindly face was puzzled, and she tightened her grip on the green lotus lantern in her hand.

For some reason, Yang Chan instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Is that scholar still bothering you?" As Yang Chan pondered, moonlight shone down and transformed into a figure beside her.

"No, someone else chased that scholar away." As Yang Chan said this, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Heaven knew how long that scholar had been bothering her lately.

At first, it had been fine. She had casually treated him, showing off a divine skill.

But it seemed to have attracted more scholars.

From time to time, someone would get hurt, and their reasons were all much the same: they had been helping the residents of Mount Hua Town.

Later, as more and more came, Yang Chan simply stopped coming out, especially since some of the scholars had nothing more than minor injuries.

There was no need at all to use the power of the Precious Lotus Lantern.

Some had even nearly healed by the time enough time had passed.

Most annoying of all, these scholars refused to leave, insisting that she treat them.

If she didn't, they would stay in the Holy Mother Temple reading.

Strange as it was, after these past few years, Yang Chan had actually grown used to the sight.

She had been considering whether to use the power of the Precious Lotus Lantern to heal that scholar and send him away, but she had never expected another healer to appear.

Or rather, a human cultivator.

And from the look of him, his strength didn't seem low. She didn't know whether he was a rogue cultivator or from one of the two great sects, Dragon Tiger and Mount Shu.

"Another scholar? Is our Third Holy Mother that popular with scholars?" Hearing this, Chang'e burst out laughing.

"Oh, stop it. They're driving me mad."

"By the way, have any fairies from the Heavenly Court descended to the mortal world recently?" Coming back to herself, Yang Chan hurriedly asked.

When she had seen that human cultivator appear today, she had been so surprised by his presence that she had thought some high immortal from the Heavenly Court had appeared.

Only after observing him closely did she discover that wasn't the case. The immortal spiritual presence of the Heavenly Court wasn't on the man, but on the young girl beside him.

"Fairies? The Queen Mother of the West's Peach of Immortality Banquet is only a little over two hundred days away. Fairies everywhere are busy to death, and even I have to start practicing the dance for the banquet. If I hadn't made use of the moonlight tonight, I wouldn't have had time to visit you," Chang'e said with a pout.

"Hmm? Then that young girl..." Yang Chan murmured to herself, looking somewhat puzzled.

She hadn't sensed it wrong. The girl had a strong Yaochi presence about her and should have spent a great deal of time at the Queen Mother of the West's side.

"But now that you mention it, I think I do remember something. When I passed the Peach Garden today, there seemed to be only six fairies there. The Purple Fairy didn't seem to be present?" Chang'e came back to herself and hurriedly replied.

"The Purple Fairy? Little Seven, the Weaver Girl?" Yang Chan was taken aback. Then she looked up at the spot in the sky where the Weaver Girl Star was.

"When did the Weaver Girl Star drift into the sky above Mount Hua?" The sight left both Chang'e and Yang Chan bewildered.

The Weaver Girl Star was usually inconspicuous among the stars in the heavens, and besides, no one kept an eye on it all the time.

But how had the Weaver Girl Star suddenly appeared above Mount Hua?

"Could Little Seven have come to visit you? She's your cousin, isn't she?" Chang'e asked curiously as she stroked the rabbit in her arms.

"Strictly speaking, yes, but you know about the relationship between my second brother and the Jade Emperor." Yang Chan sighed.

"Then do you want to go see her? The girl is quite cute." Chang'e rested her cheek in her hand as she asked Yang Chan.

"Maybe when I get the chance. But what's going on with that star beside the Weaver Girl Star?" Yang Chan shook her head, then looked at the sky in puzzlement.

Beside the Weaver Girl Star, which shone with a silvery-white light, another star was circling.

The two stars followed each other like a shadow.

"I don't know. You know, I've heard that the Three Realms seem to be facing another great calamity. Sigh, I don't know exactly what's going on, either." Chang'e shook her head, her expression full of worry.

"Don't worry. You can just stay on the moon every day. With the Taiyin Star Lord's protection, nothing will ever happen to Moon Star," Yang Chan said comfortingly.

"I understand all that, but you know I can't stay there forever. Who could bear that endless loneliness? And it's terribly cold. Marshal Tianpeng has been coming to bother me every day lately, too. The Peach of Immortality Banquet is almost here, and he still won't take things seriously. Honestly, sooner or later he'll be banished to the mortal world."

"Shh, don't talk about that," Yang Chan hurriedly said.

"All right. But why do you look so worried? Wasn't that scholar dealt with?" Chang'e quickly fell silent, then recalled the expression she had seen on Yang Chan's face when she first arrived and couldn't help asking.

"I sensed the presence of Spirit Mountain's Buddhist Order, just a thousand li from Mount Hua," Yang Chan said after hesitating for a moment.

"Spirit Mountain's Buddhist Order? What are they doing on Mount Hua? Should we go to Guanjiangkou and inform the True Lord?" Chang'e's expression turned serious as well.

Once the Buddhist Order showed up somewhere, it definitely meant no good.

"Let's wait and see. I don't want my second brother to worry," Yang Chan quickly declined.

"All right, then I should go back. Take care of yourself. If anything seems wrong, let me or your second brother know," Chang'e hurriedly said.

"I know. Don't worry, I have the Precious Lotus Lantern protecting me. I won't be in danger." Yang Chan giggled, then shook her head.

Moonlight rose once more, and Chang'e transformed into a streak of light and flew back to the Heavenly Court.
