HEAVEN'S OFFICIAL BLESSING (Mo Xiang Tong Xiu)

Hua Cheng hadn't even walked over before Xie Lian had already forcefully glomped over.

This was a powerful glomp, and Hua Cheng actually wasn't pushed back for a few steps by the force, not even a wobble. He only placed his hands on Xie Lian's back, chuckling lightly without speaking. Xie Lian was just feeling cheered when he suddenly remembered another thing and quickly said, "Wait, San Lang! The Empe... Jun Wu is quite wary of you, and you should've been guarding the human array at the royal capital. He must've sent eyes down to watch you, so if you vanished all of a sudden, wouldn't he notice? Besides, is it really alright for the Wind Master to be guarding the array by himself?"

However, Hua Cheng replied, "Don't worry, gege, that's already been taken cared of. No flaws will be exposed for the moment."

Xie Lian figured he probably blocked the eyes Jun Wu sent or left a clone down below, so he didn't press for more on how things were taken cared of. Just then, Hua Cheng remarked leisurely, "It seems, gege really missed me very much."

"..."

Xie Lian remembered the messed up, inadmissible words they exchanged through spiritual communication in front of Jun Wu, then noticed how he himself was currently holding Hua Cheng tight, not letting go, and he immediately loosened his grip, straightening himself, and replied with a schooled voice, "...En, en. You said we needed to enlist the help of someone, so that someone was Lord Rain Master."

Hua Cheng smiled at him cheerfully, "Correct. The Rain Master has been in the lower realms for years, and just so happened to be roused by the opening of Mount TongLu. To return to the heavens to check things out is perfectly logical. And, if Jun Wu refuses to allow her up without proper reasons, the Rain Master would no doubt notice things amiss. So, of course he had to let her come back up. Gege, don't worry, it's fine, you can keep holding me like that, I don't mind."

Xie Lian softly cleared his throat, "No, it's alright, thank you...But why can't he do anything to the Rain Master?"

"Gege might not know this. The Rain Master is a heavenly official who manages agriculture. This godly position might seem dreary on the surface without any major benefits, so most aren't interested, but it's actually quite unique, Currently, there's only Yu Shi Huang who is a heavenly official that manages agriculture.

Xie Lian mused and deduced the intricate reasons. Hua Cheng continued, "If the Rain Master was killed directly, and a better heavenly official couldn't be found to replace her, the people put food above all else; if agriculture isn't running smoothly, the world will be thrown into chaos. You don't let people eat, people won't give you a job. Besides being displeased with the Rain Master, the people of the world might also begin to be dissatisfied with the great god above Rain Master's head, which means, if he wasn't careful the fire can burn all the way onto him. If things aren't controlled adequately, it might incur riots to topple gods.

Which was to desecrate his temples and topple his divine statues, just as what the people of XianLe did once.
