Things Within His Power

"By the way, to express my apology, these rare and precious wines are my offering to you."

"I brought you some when I came last time, although not much, but I saw that you liked it very much, so this time I brought these premium wines as an apology."

Nezha saying those words, Nezha took out bottle after bottle of celestial wine from his person and distributed it to the little monkeys.

"Yay, thank you, Ou Ba!"

The little monkeys were quick to learn. As soon as they heard Sun Wukong's good friend, Ou Ba, say that Sun Wukong was alright, they believed him. When they saw that Ou Ba had brought them so many celestial delicacies, they were even happier. After receiving the celestial delicacies from Nezha, they drank them and cheered for Nezha.

"Since Ou Ba has brought us so many good things, we can't treat him unfairly. Quickly bring him all the good stuff in our Water Curtain Cave Ou Ba, and also bring him those few jars of the longest-brewed passion fruit wine."

"Don't just stand there, go!"

At this moment, the old chief of the Monkey Clan instructed the little monkeys to fetch some good things for Nezha, including Nezha's favorite passion fruit wine.

"Alright, Elder Chief."

When King Sun Wukong was not in the Water Curtain Cave, this old clan leader was in charge, so he still had a lot of say in the monkey troop. As soon as he gave the order, the little monkeys who heard his words put down their Xin Family Treasure Wine and ran to prepare food and passion wine to entertain Nezha.

"Elder Chief, please come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

When all the little monkeys had almost dispersed, Nezha suddenly patted the old clan chief on the shoulder and said this to him.

"Ou Ba, what exactly happened?"

After hearing Nezha say this, the old chief of the Monkey Clan asked with a puzzled look.

"Just follow me."

After saying this, Nezha grabbed the old clan chief's hand and led him towards the outside of the Water Curtain Cave.

Seeing this, the old clan chief didn't say much and let him lead him out of the Water Curtain Cave. After leaving the Water Curtain Cave, Nezha pulled the old clan chief away and stopped after a distance.

"Ou Ba, is there something you want to tell me?"

Upon arriving here, the old clan chief had already guessed that Nezha must have something to tell him that the little monkey back then couldn't say, which was why he brought him out.

"That's how it is, old clan chief."

"Your Great King Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, did indeed lose the contest, but instead of traveling to other places to seek opportunities for breakthroughs, he was suppressed by the victor and is currently imprisoned under a mountain. It's unknown when he will be released."

"When I first heard the news, I wanted to visit him, but when I got to the vicinity, I found that there were people sent by the Jade Emperor monitoring the area. I had no choice but to leave."

At this point, he shook his head, let out a long sigh, revealing his helplessness.

"I want to do something for him, but I'm powerless. The only thing I can do for him is to take care of your safety. But if I tell those little monkeys the truth about Sun Wukong, they'll definitely get restless and start clamoring to go save Sun Wukong."

"Leaving aside whether they can save him or not, if they dare to go there and make contact with Sun Wukong, they will definitely be killed by the two people sent by the Jade Emperor to monitor him."

At this moment, Nezha looked at the old clan leader with concern in his eyes, and he had made up his mind to help Sun Wukong take care of these little monkeys.

"So for their safety, I had no choice but to resort to this tactic: to tell them false information so they don't worry about Sun Wukong. But don't worry, since Sun Wukong can't protect you now..."

"As his good brother, and you all consider me a good friend, I promise to protect you. Elder, please accept this. If anyone comes to cause trouble, just burn this talisman. No matter where I am, I will receive the message in time and rush back to save you."

As he spoke, Nezha took out a stack of talismans covered with profound and mysterious runes from his bosom, handed them to the old clan chief, and solemnly explained how to use them.

"Thank you, thank you so much, my Ou Ba."

The old clan chief took the talisman from Nezha's hand, put it in his pocket, looked at Nezha with tears in his eyes, grabbed Nezha's hand excitedly, and thanked him repeatedly!

"I'm ashamed. My good brother is in trouble, but I can't go to his rescue. I can only come here to help you and protect your safety."

"Elder Chief, do you see any other problems in the clan that need to be resolved?"

"Just tell me what you need. If it's within my power, I'll definitely do it for you without hesitation."

Nezha looked at the old clan chief and comforted him while reassuring him.

"Thank you, thank you so much. But let's not talk about that. They should have already prepared what we need to treat you."

"And that passion fruit wine you love so much, I had them bring out the oldest and most fragrant one that had been buried underground for the longest time, for you. Let's go back quickly, or some greedy little monkeys will drink it all before you do, and that would be a huge loss."

The old patriarch first tried to calm himself down, then remembered that Nezha had brought him out for so long and was now in a state of spiritual energy. The things to entertain Nezha were ready, and it was time to take Nezha back to enjoy them.

"Alright, Elder Clan Chief, let's head back now. But don't forget, Sun Wukong is currently traveling, seeking an opportunity to break through his strength, which is why he can't return. It's not that he's trapped under the Five Elements Mountain as I said, unable to come back. Please don't let that slip."

Nezha interfered with Laozi's request to return. Before leaving, Laozi reminded Sun Wukong not to let slip that Sun Wukong had been suppressed, lest the little monkeys worry.

"Ou Ba, Ou Ba, come quick! Come and see!"

Look what good things we've prepared for you!

"This table is full of your favorite passion fruit wine. Each jar contains at least several decades of aged wine. The jar with the shortest aging time, which contains a hundred cases, is still thirty years old, while the jar with the longest aging time is over a hundred years old. The taste is absolutely mellow. Come and try it."

As soon as Nezha entered the Water Curtain Cave, he was stopped by a little monkey.
