Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Two Little Men

Sun Wukong set down his wine cup and glanced at the Deputy Right Supervisor, "If it shouldn’t be said, don’t say it."

The Deputy Right Supervisor’s expression stiffened, it wasn’t like that at all, and he hastily looked towards the Supervisor.

The Supervisor internally cursed at the uselessness of the other man, then forced a smile and said, "Great Sage Grandfather, we overheard some unfavorable comments about Grandfather outside,

If we recount them, we might provoke Grandfather’s anger, but keeping them from you would be an even greater crime deserving of death."

Sun Wukong feigned curiosity, "Oh? Let’s hear it. Old Sun promises not to beat you to death."

The Supervisor was a bit confused, but could only pluck up the courage to continue, "Great Sage Grandfather, please contain your wrath, there are people slandering, saying that Grandfather is nothing but a nobody who tends horses for others."

"What slander is this? Old Sun indeed tends horses, happily enjoying the leisure," Sun Wukong was not angered.

"But they also said Grandfather is..." The Supervisor felt a chill around his neck and cold in his heart.

"Is what?"

"Is, is, is Bi Ma Wen."

"What’s wrong with Bi Ma Wen?"

"Grandfather, Bi Ma Wen is..." The Supervisor was even more bewildered, did this Master really not understand anything?

"Bi Ma Wen is a mother monkey... ah..." The Deputy Left Supervisor muttered quietly.

But before he could finish his sentence, a foot came flying and he disappeared.

Disappeared along with him was the Supervisor, limp all over.

"You filthy creatures, idly freeload all day and shirk your duties, you all deserve to be cast down to the mortal world!" Sun Wukong retracted his foot and continued to eat and drink.

The officials were already scared out of their wits, none daring to eat the fourth dish, and each knelt on the ground, knocking their heads in plea for mercy.

"Unsatisfying, unsatisfying!" Sun Wukong flung his wine cup aside, then flipped the table with a kick and soared up into the clouds to leave.

It was a while before the Supervisor and Deputy Left Supervisor came back with injuries all over them.

Even now, they still couldn’t comprehend why the Lord didn’t react to any provocation.

"What should we do, Supervisor?" someone asked.

"Do I look like I know what to do?" the Supervisor snapped angrily, finally having a place to vent his frustration.

After everyone had dispersed, he dragged his heavily injured body, insisting on leaving the Horse Management Office.

Sun Wukong had long used his Divine Skills to transform into a speck of dust and stuck to the Supervisor, following him eastward, straight to the front of an Immortal Mansion.

The guards at the gate saw him and did not obstruct, directly letting him in.

"Wood Treasury Star Lord Mansion?" As Sun Wukong saw the name on the plaque of the Immortal Mansion, he pondered, "Wood Treasury Star Lord? Lord of the Wood Star Virtue? Could it be that he’s seeking revenge because Old Sun took his place?"

With these thoughts, he saw the Supervisor being led by a fairy to the outside of a pavilion.

Two young-looking immortals were animatedly discussing something inside the pavilion at that moment.

They both bore an air of arrogance between their brows. Seeing the Supervisor from the Horse Management Office arrive, they stopped their conversation.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to Wood Treasury Star Lord, Gold Treasury Star Lord!" The Supervisor knelt and kowtowed, deliberately exposing the wounds on his body a bit more.

"Has that demon monkey descended to the mortal world?" Wood Treasury Star Lord Deng Hua asked with indifference.

"Star Lord, he, he..." the Supervisor said with trepidation, "He did get angry upon hearing the name Bi Ma Wen, but he did not descend from the Heaven in a rage."

"Strange, is this monkey’s temper really that good? He can withstand such humiliation?" Wood Treasury Star Lord Deng Hua frowned.

"I’ve told you before that provocation won’t work." Gold Treasury Star Lord Xiao Zhen chuckled and shook his head, "Listen to me and let them spread the word more across Heaven,

Once everyone knows the nickname Bi Ma Wen, he’ll have no face left to stay in Heaven, and perhaps in his fury, he might even cause trouble."

"Then let’s try my junior brother’s strategy." Deng Hua nodded, and then looked coldly at the Supervisor, "Did you hear that? Do exactly that."

"Yes, I will obey!" The jailer did not dare to linger and cautiously left, feeling completely satisfied with having received no punishment this time.

Sun Wukong did not leave either and took the opportunity to stay outside the pavilion.

[Congratulations, you have completed the quest—determine who is plotting against you behind the scenes and obtained a Third-Rank Treasure Box.]

"Hehe!" Sun Wukong sneered in his heart, but he did not act immediately, wanting to listen in for more information and then find an opportunity to cause a bigger disturbance.

After the jailer left, he saw the two Star Lords lose their indifferent demeanor and start chatting excitedly with each other.

But to his surprise, they were not discussing how to plot against him but other matters, which made Sun Wukong even more unhappy.

He saw Deng Hua ask with a face full of expectation, "Junior Brother, is the method you mentioned just now really feasible?"

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother," Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "I captured the hearts of many immortal ladies with this plan back in the day."

"But after all, she is the sister of Er Lang," Deng Hua still worried.

"Isn’t that even better?" Xiao Zhen was very confident and continued, "Anyways, I think it’s feasible. Since Senior Brother likes her, then pursue her boldly.

If successful, not only would Senior Brother become Er Lang’s Martial Uncle but also his brother-in-law, closer than ever. Your prospects in the Heavenly Realm would surely be greater in the future.

As for the matter of using tricks, if you don’t speak of it and I don’t speak of it, who else would know?"

Deng Hua began to feel hopeful again, but he still hesitated.

"You can trust me, Senior Brother," Xiao Zhen smiled and shook his head, "A beauty saving a hero often captures the beauty’s heart more easily than a hero saving the beauty.

Although I have never met Yang Chan, I have heard that she is very compassionate and naïve, with little scheming.

When she returns to the Heavenly Realm, you should pretend to be severely injured and lie in her inevitable path. She will surely save you, and afterward, you can take the opportunity to repay her.

Through such interactions, won’t you two become close?"

"Let me think, let me think some more," said Deng Hua as he stood up and paced back and forth nervously before finally gritting his teeth and deciding, "Let’s do as Junior Brother suggests!"

"Haha, then let me first congratulate Senior Brother on winning the beauty’s heart," laughed Xiao Zhen heartily.

"Beauty, beauty..." Having made his decision, Deng Hua too started to daydream, his face full of intoxication as his long-held wish was about to come true.

Watching from the shadows, Sun Wukong felt rage brewing in his heart—these two sly villains!

But now was not the right time to act; he would expose them when the time was right!

He must not act impulsively, a phrase that his senior online friends had taught him most.

Afterwards, he overheard that Yang Chan would enter the Heavenly Realm through the Northern Heavenly Gate, passing by Magpie Bridge Mountain on the North Bank of the Milky Way.

And the time would be in an hour.

Heaven also measured time in hours, a day consisting of twelve hours, each hour equally divided into eight quarters.

One day in heaven equates to one year on earth, meaning one hour in heaven corresponds to one month on earth.

"Hehe, it won’t be long now!" Sun Wukong sneered in his heart and quietly left the Star Lord Mansion of the Wood Treasury.

With his strength as a Daluo Golden Immortal, those two would never detect him.

Back at the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the other jailers, deputies, record keepers, and officers of all ranks continued to treat him with great respect.

But Sun Wukong had already seen through these obsequiously insincere people and naturally did not show them politeness, considering scolding them light punishment, and at any opportunity would strike or curse them.

Time flew swiftly, and finally, an hour had passed in heaven.

Sun Wukong arrived at the stables and whistled; immediately, it caught the attention of over a thousand heavenly horses.

Then he mounted the purple-tinged heavenly horse and departed from the stables, racing northward with over a thousand heavenly horses following closely behind.

The heavenly horses soared across the sky, causing a great commotion that terrified all the officers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
