The matter you’ve asked for is a bit difficult for Wind and me to broach.”

Li Dazhi turned his head to look at the elderly Tianli.

The elderly Tianli’s face turned red as he stood up to salute Xuanyuan Huangdi, stuttering without being able to say anything coherent, and finally, he managed to squeeze out a sentence:

“Girls can’t be kept at home forever.

It’s embarrassing for Your Majesty and Minister Feng to witness this.”

Li Dazhi:…

Immortal Yuding, standing nearby with a smile on his face, observed this scene in silence, a hint of amusement visible in his eyes.

“Hmm cough!”

Guang Chengzi raised his hand and with a point, a cloud of mist magically condensed.

The center of the cloud quickly became clear, revealing a three-dimensional image within.

After a short while, the image filled the entire cloud, viewable from both sides, and the conversation of the three people in the image was audible and clear.

The technique of the Cloud Mirror, reaching the pinnacle.

Guang Chengzi said, “Let us unleash our Dao Charm to intimidate the Witch Clan, lest they have any inappropriate thoughts.”

The idle chat immediately ceased.

Thereupon, Guang Chengzi, Immortal Yuding, Xuanyuan Huangdi, Minister Feng Fenghou, and the elderly Tianli each released their own Dao Charm, while Mother Guiling clung to the edge of the Cloud Boat, watching the clouds below.

In Qing Su’s hand appeared a Treasure Sword bestowed by Nüwa, which she raised, closed her eyes, and concentrated on watching Li Ping’an below.

“Heavenly Emperor.”

Immortal Taiyi’s lazy voice came from inside the cabin, brought by the Cloud Mirror’s transmission of the three people’s private conversation.

…

“It’s fine to just call me ‘Ping’an,’ Uncle Taiyi.”

Li Ping’an reminded through a voice transmission:

“Later, in front of the Witch Clan, still call me ‘Mo Wendi,’ or the ‘Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Square Pavilion.’

‘The Heavenly Court lacks manpower—it’s only I who can do such tasks.

If it became known that I, the Heavenly Emperor, casually gallivanted everywhere, it truly wouldn’t look good.’

Immortal Taiyi laughed, “Well said…

You really don’t put on airs.”

Cangjie glanced at Immortal Taiyi and decided to stay silent, merely standing there with his hands behind his back, statue-like.

Immortal Taiyi communicated through a voice transmission, “I hope that once the Heavenly Court is truly established, you can maintain this modesty, a quality Emperor Jun of the ancient times didn’t have.”

Li Ping’an felt a bit surprised.

— Isn’t this old brother capable of having a normal conversation?

But Immortal Taiyi suddenly changed the subject: “Of course, that’s also because both Emperor Jun and East Emperor Taiyi were mighty beings of the ancient era.

You are too weak right now—even if you wanted to strut, you couldn’t.”

Li Ping’an:…

“What realm have you reached, Uncle Taiyi?”

“Daluo Golden Immortal, just broke through ten thousand years ago.”

Immortal Taiyi calmly replied, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Li Ping’an looked enlightened: “No wonder you’ve managed to live so gracefully to this day.”

A few black lines appeared on Immortal Taiyi’s forehead as he clicked his tongue lightly, “I just praised you for being modest, and here you are being disrespectful already?”

“How can you say it’s disrespect,” Li Ping’an laughed, “Uncle Taiyi is so approachable.

I can’t just ignore that and fail to treat you as if we’re equals.”

“Hey, I didn’t realize you were quite the smooth talker.”

Immortal Taiyi looked Li Ping’an up and down:

“No wonder the Queen Mother has taken a special liking to you.

With that mouth of yours, what old sweet thing could withstand it?

Hahaha!”

Li Ping’an laughed, “Don’t you have a Dao companion, Uncle Taiyi?”

“What’s the use of a Dao companion?”

Immortal Taiyi said indifferently:

“I’m naturally carefree and happy by myself.

With a Dao companion, I’d always have to take them into consideration.”

“No wonder you, Uncle Taiyi, don’t understand these matters.

I’ve only just gotten married recently and just came to grasp the true meaning of it.”

Li Ping’an’s eyes were filled with tenderness, and he spoke softly:

“The harmony of yin and yang is the principle of heaven and earth.

The joy of men and women is of human nature.”

“Moreover, the Queen Mother merely wanted to use my name as the Heavenly Emperor to establish her reality as the Heavenly Empress, not based on any affection between a man and a woman.

But that’s taking us off-topic.”

“Uncle Taiyi, always cultivating in the mountains, it’s normal you don’t understand these convoluted matters.

However, you should still interact more with female immortals, and not just immerse yourself in solitary cultivation.

Being a solitary yang is not only unproductive but can also easily stray off course, and then if yin and yang fall out of balance, it becomes quite a joke.”

Several black lines appeared on Immortal Taiyi’s face, and he lifted his foot to kick.

Li Ping’an smoothly dodged behind Cangjie, gently raising an eyebrow at Immortal Taiyi.

Immortal Taiyi cursed in amusement through a voice transmission, “What a slick-tongued little Heavenly Emperor you are!”

Li Ping’an clasped his hands together respectfully, “My slick tongue is nothing compared to you, Uncle.

I’ve merely picked up a few tricks on the fly.”

“Come here, stand in the middle.

Let’s get down to business first.”

Immortal Taiyi cleared his throat, a hint of admiration in his eyes:

“Those other uncles and masters of yours are too dull.

It’s you, kid, who suits my taste.

I approve of you as the Heavenly Emperor.

“If the new Heavenly Emperor were another stolid bumpkin incapable of sparking joy, then this universe would be dreadfully dull.”

“Now, tell me, what’s next?

We’re about to enter the forbidden area of the Witch Clan, and a group of war witches are already eyeing us.”

Li Ping’an reluctantly hopped back in front of the two.

He asked, “Do you have any ideas, teacher?”

Cangjie clasped his hands and responded, “Everything depends on the Pavilion Master’s strategy.”

Immortal Taiyi couldn’t help but mutter, “Why does the Human Race call Cangjie ‘teacher’?

Doesn’t ‘predecessor’ imply the meaning of someone who has passed away?”

A few black lines appeared on Cangjie’s forehead.

Li Ping’an looked somewhat helplessly at Immortal Taiyi.

Immortal Taiyi spread his hands, “This Poor Daoist is genuinely curious.”

Li Ping’an made up a response on the spot: “A teacher imparts knowledge, teaches, and resolves doubts.

The invention of writing made books the carrier of various kinds of knowledge.

Great Master Cangjie’s creation of characters was an act of immense merit.

Even without a teacher’s instruction, with the written word bearing cultivation techniques and all sorts of knowledge, one can still teach and resolve doubts.

Hence, he is called ‘Great Master.'”

Cangjie couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile, bowing his hand to Li Ping’an: “Your Majesty flatters me too much.

The creation of the characters was not done by me alone.”
