Chapter 85: Scapegoating and Good Drama
Cloud Tower Palace.
Ne Zha had not yet emerged from his low spirits and was very dejected.
Although he had publicly renounced his apprenticeship with Tai Yi and left the Chan Teaching, it was impossible to forget the many years of experience in an instant.
After he went to apologize to Lady Shi Ji and Ao Bing, Ao Bing, now a Star Lord, grudgingly forgave him, but Lady Shi Ji did not forgive him because her two disciples could no longer be brought back to life,
This made him very disheartened, feeling that his sins were inerasable.
Suddenly a celestial official came in to report that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven had come to visit.
Ne Zha would have been very happy to hear of a visitor in the past, but this time he had no energy and just listlessly lay on a railing, dispirited and only said, "Let him in."
When Sun Wukong came in and saw Ne Zha looking like this, he didn’t plan on giving any advice. Instead, he said with a playful laugh, "Third Prince, get up quick, there’s work to do."
"Don’t want to move." Ne Zha sat up, lazily propping up his chin.
"The case of Wood Treasury Star Lord Deng Hua’s murder is still unresolved," Sun Wukong added. "His Majesty tasked you to supervise Wukong’s investigation, do you remember?"
