Chapter 200 The Grand Finale of the Journey to the West
"Your Majesty," Sun Wukong said with a smile, "I believe Ao Lie’s words are true; there is something suspicious about this matter. Your Majesty possesses the wisdom to judge people; after all, it was you who personally decreed the appointment of the Jinghe Dragon King as the Great Dragon God of Rain and the overseer of the eight rivers in the Southern Nanfanbuzhou.
He has been graced by the heavens multiple times and would not dare to disappoint Your Majesty’s expectations.
As I have been idle lately, why not let me go to the mortal realm first to investigate, before Your Majesty makes a final decision?"
Upon hearing these words, Taibai Venus secretly praised them; the Great Sage truly is a fellow of high ability, taking on the mistake made by Ao Lie upon himself to prevent his disciple from facing Your Majesty’s reprimand.
And he further mentioned Your Majesty’s wisdom in recognizing talent before proposing that he, one of the Four Imperial Great Emperors, personally descend to the mortal realm to investigate the matter. For the sake of maintaining Your Majesty’s reputation for having such wisdom, you would surely agree.
If indeed any problem should be found, then it could be said that the Jinghe Dragon King was ungrateful and deserved the severest punishment.
As expected, the Jade Emperor just raised his hand and tapped the desk, saying in a deep voice, "In that case, let you, Ziwei Great Emperor, and the Martial Virtue Star Lord go down to the mortal realm together for a visit."
Sun Wukong bowed with a smile.
The Martial Virtue Star Lord performed a respectful salute.
Subsequently, they left the Tongming Hall and departed for the mortal realm.
