Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Persuasion through Reason

Having been influenced by wise netizens over the years, Sun Wukong of course knew better than to act recklessly and decided to listen to some advice first.

After leaving Tianhe, he connected to Zhihu and posted a message.

"I am Sun Wukong, currently preparing for the Great Combat Tournament of Heaven. I just ran into the overbearing Treasury Manager, Baihe Boy. May I ask the seniors here for their guidance?"

At the same time, he also described the situation of Baihe Boy’s greed beneath the question.

Responses quickly followed.

Three Products: "Treasury, underpants? That name..."

Not Updating My Purple Clay Pot: "Baihe Boy is the personal attendant of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and also a disciple of the Southern Extremity Longevity Star. It seems he is the foremost among the third generation disciples of their sect. He might not be so easy to deal with."

China’s Strongest Yelling Monster: "What’s there to be afraid of, just do it! In the Divine Enthronement, the most overbearing and bullying is Baihe Boy, relying on the Primordial Heavenly Venerable by his side, using a Saint’s treasure, he even killed Fairy of the Pretty Clouds.

Now, without the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, even if he has powerful treasures, he will definitely not be a match for Sun Wukong. It’s a good opportunity to teach him a lesson and vent your frustration."

Loneliness Blown Here: "The power of their sect is strong right now. If you start a fight, you won’t be in the right, and instead, you’ll give others a handle to use against you. Better to convince with reason, remember, not the reason of physics.

Moreover, their sect loves to save face. Given how greedily Baihe Boy seeks advantages and bullies others, he probably does so even more,

Brother Monkey can start from this point, for example, threaten to pluck his feathers clean off, and he will definitely bow down."

After reading these replies, Sun Wukong gained a better understanding of Baihe Boy.

At the same time, he also heard a notification in his mind.

[You have received a new suggestion: Teach Baihe Boy a lesson to relieve your anger. Completing the suggestion will reward a Third-Rank Treasure Box.]

[You have received a new suggestion: Threaten Baihe Boy, demanding to pluck his feathers clean. Completing the suggestion will reward a Third-Rank Treasure Box.]

"A lesson? Threaten? Hehe..." Sun Wukong chuckled and scratched his face, already having a plan in mind.

...

The Treasury was Heaven’s logistics department, responsible for providing for everyday needs of the various palaces and organizing supplies for various large events, all through centralized resource allocation.

Thus, it was always under heavy guard. The celestial officials from all quarters who came to collect supplies never dared to be presumptuous and were very orderly.

But today, the Treasury was unlike any other day. All the celestial officials who had come for business were driven out. They did not leave, however, but gathered outside to watch the excitement.

Standing alone in the Treasury hall in a yellow dress, Yang Chan gazed with icy eyes at the white-clad boy before her.

She recognized him. Years ago, when her elder brother split the mountain to save their mother, the Southern Pole Immortal came to obstruct him, and at that time, this white-clad boy was by the Southern Pole Immortal’s side, acting very arrogantly.

If not for the divine decree she had obtained from Nu Wa, it would have been difficult to settle the matter peacefully at that time.

Seeing him again today and adding a new grievance, Yang Chan was naturally filled with righteous anger. However, she did not make her move, knowing that a Golden Immortal who could manage the important Treasury of Heaven must be no ordinary figure.

If she started a fight, it would only cause trouble for Sun Wukong.

With this in mind, Yang Chan asked coldly once more, "I’ll ask you one last time, is it there or not?"

Baihe Boy obviously recognized her too. His expression carried arrogance, and without directly answering, he scolded, "Back then, the Saint was merciful and spared you and your mother. You show no gratitude but still dare to be so insolent.

This is the Treasury, a crucial place in Heaven. How can you be so disorderly? Continue this nuisance, and I won’t be lenient!"

Yang Chan clenched her teeth, struggling to contain her anger, as a Lotus Lantern faintly appeared in her palm.

Just then, a hubbub arose from outside, breaking the deadlock in the hall.

Yang Chan and Baihe Boy both turned towards the noise.

They saw Sun Wukong, wearing a purple-gold crown, wrapped in Gold Armor, and treading on cloud-stepping boots, casually walking in.

This extraordinary appearance reassured Yang Chan greatly, and, ultimately, she did not bring out the treasured Lotus Lantern.

However, the White Crane Boy’s expression remained haughty as he questioned, "Who are you to show such disrespect for the rules and dare to barge into the inner sanctum without permission?"

What did it matter if he was a Daluo Golden Immortal? Wukong had even killed a Quasi-Saint before, so he was not the least bit intimidated by Sun Wukong.

"Rules?" Sun Wukong sneered, "Since you know so much about rules, Wukong would like to ask why you are holding back the supplies for the Martial Arts Tournament? Are you planning a rebellion?"

This heavy accusation finally changed the color of the White Crane Boy’s face, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Wukong talking nonsense?" Sun Wukong laughed, thinking he had encountered a truly tough character. He quickly got the measure of him and chuckled, "The Martial Arts Tournament is an event decreed by His Majesty himself, a major event of Heaven,

your obstruction to the preparations is defiance of His Majesty’s will, how is that not rebellion?"

White Crane Boy, used to being domineering, was accustomed to others treating him with respect or courtesy, never having encountered a monkey who completely disregarded the rules and had no sense of decorum.

By then, he was being led by the nose, and said angrily, "You slanderous monkey, when have I ever obstructed the preparations? It’s just that the inner sanctum’s reserves have been low recently, requiring some time to prepare, I never said I wouldn’t provide them!"

"Heh, what a great ’need for time’!" Sun Wukong had seen through the other’s cunning, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward to the White Crane Boy, giving him a slap on the Heavenly Spirit Cover and demanding, "Then how much time do you need?"

After the slap, he thought, that should count as a lesson, right?

The next moment, a prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations on completing the suggestion—Teach the White Crane Boy a lesson, obtain a Third-Rank Treasure Box]

A smile instantly appeared on Sun Wukong’s face.

The White Crane Boy, reeling from the slap and seeing stars, felt his Primordial Spirit almost burst out of its casing. When he saw Sun Wukong’s grinning face close up, he found the monkey utterly repulsive and incredibly fierce.

With a tremble in his heart, he still said, "At least two or three hours."

"Two or three hours, are you an old lady at work?" Sun Wukong’s eyes bulged, one hour in Heaven was a month on earth, what preparations needed so much time?

Moreover, by that time the Martial Arts Tournament would be about to start, and if something went wrong, he, the general overseer of the event, would definitely not escape responsibility.

With that thought, Sun Wukong’s gaze sharpened like an arrow, staring down the White Crane Boy, "At most a quarter of an hour, personally deliver the things required for the Martial Arts Tournament to the Milky Way,

otherwise, Wukong will pluck every feather from you and hang you at the South Heaven Gate to let all the immortals have a good look at your handsome figure."

The White Crane Boy’s face paled drastically, and suddenly he panicked, "You you you..."

[Congratulations on completing the suggestion—Threaten the White Crane Boy, obtain a Third-Rank Treasure Box]

Hearing the prompt, Sun Wukong’s smile widened, and he told the White Crane Boy, "Don’t think of running away, Wukong will be watching you."

Having said that, he was about to leave with Yang Chan.

At this moment, Ne Zha came rushing in excitedly, stepping on his Wind Fire Wheels and bursting into the inner sanctum hall.

"Let’s see who it is that dares to trouble our preparations for the Martial Arts Tournament!" Holding his Fire-tipped Spear, he was ready to fight.

The White Crane Boy’s expression darkened.

"We’ve already come to an agreement," Sun Wukong said with a smile, "Wukong has persuaded with reason, and the White Crane Supervisor has said that he will deliver all the supplies to the Milky Way within a quarter of an hour."

"I thought it would take a fight to sort this out, and it turns out Brother White Crane is so easy to talk to," Ne Zha was very surprised, his expression exaggerated, not knowing if it was an act.

This scene also made the usually gloomy Yang Chan laugh.

The White Crane Boy’s face grew even more unsightly, yet he could only endure it.

Back then, he had gained his impressive track record in the Divine Enthronement War only with the treasures bestowed by the Saint.

But now, with the treasures long reclaimed by the Saint, he was merely a Golden Immortal, no match for Sun Wukong and Ne Zha.

"Wukong also thought he’d encounter someone with backbone, what a boring affair. Let’s go, let’s go," Sun Wukong beckoned Ne Zha and Yang Chan to leave with him.

They had barely left the inner sanctum when they ran into Marshal Canopy and Taibai Venus, who were hurrying over.
