Chapter 141: Bite Back
Over the Sacred Lunar Ground, people were bowing to the Jade Emperor.
Jin Ling Saint Mother and Southern Extremity Longevity Star simply bowed and said nothing.
The Jade Emperor glanced at the chaotic Lunar Palace before his gaze settled on Sun Wukong. He reproached, "Sun Wukong, I appointed you as the North Celestial Honor, tasking you with patrolling the north of the Heavenly Court, assessing good and evil, and managing rewards and punishments. Is this how you have carried out your duties?
Why have such atrocities occurred in the Sacred Lunar Ground?"
Upon hearing this, Southern Extremity Longevity Star frowned first, as this was clearly a reproach but, in reality, was intended to support Wukong.
Sun Wukong had certainly noticed and, feigning anger, said, "Your Majesty, you must not wrong the innocent! I have been diligently ensuring the peace of the north of the Heavenly Court every day, never daring to slack off.
This time, to resolve the crisis of the Sacred Lunar Ground, I almost lost my life,
yet you don’t utter a word of commendation and begin with a reprimand. How is this reasonable?"
The latter words were believed by all.
But the former words, no one believed.
