Chương 156: Suspicion of Yang Chan

When Yang Jian arrived at Mount Hua with his dog, Xiaotian, he saw Richard, Yang Chan, and Xiao Yao chatting and laughing.

As for the small banquet before, it has long since ended.

Neither Richard nor Yang Chan are people who indulge in gluttony, and even Xiao Yao only likes to eat foods rich in energy.

So we mostly just scratched the surface, and afterwards we mostly chatted.

A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth.

Even though the Celestial Hound is very fast, it still takes time to get through the Heavenly Court's checkpoints.

Therefore, Yang Jian arrived several days later.

In the past few days, Richard has not been in a hurry to move around in this world, but has continued to stay at Yang Chan's dojo.

This world is quite different from the world before; there are too many capable people, so we still need to be careful.

These past few days, he's been trying his best to find out from Yang Chan about the locations of the powerful figures' dojos in this world, lest he accidentally stumble into the home of some big shot.

Leaving aside the famous immortals and deities who appeared in the TV series "Lotus Lantern," Richard is quite clear about their positions.

However, there are other immortals and gods who are not as famous, but whose strength is by no means weak, and even some immortals and gods from ancient times, who have now basically gone into seclusion.

He didn't know the locations of these gods and immortals, which is why he needed to ask.

It was only when she asked that she realized there were too many people. Yang Chan alone knew over a hundred, and she even said that she only knew a small portion of them, and there were many more people she didn't know.

If you really want to know, you should ask her second brother.

The more you understand, the deeper you realize how profound the world's secrets are.

"Third Sister," Yang Jian called out.

"Second Brother?" Yang Chan turned around and saw Yang Jian standing not far away with Xiaotian Dog.

Richard, of course, also saw the two of them. He sighed inwardly: They've finally arrived.

A man dressed in black robes, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an imposing air, and holding an iron fan, stood outside the Taoist temple with a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, holding a bone club.

This person is Yang Jian of this world, the Heavenly Court's God of Justice, and also a doting brother.

"Fellow Daoist, Yang Jian greets you." Yang Jian looked at Richard.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Richard returned the greeting.

"May I ask where you come from in the Chaos?" Yang Jian asked.

Unlike the Celestial Hound, who turned pale at the mention of chaos, Yang Jian didn't care much about chaos.

As far as he knew, many ancient gods who were detached from worldly affairs had established their temples in the chaos at the edge of the world.

They didn't want to be disturbed, but they also didn't want to leave this world completely, so they made this choice.

Therefore, Yang Jian felt that this Richard might have come from the dojo of some great god, and that some ancient god was standing behind him.

He had no choice but to be cautious, as his position was far from as glamorous as it appeared.

In the Heavenly Court, he was both a loyal and upright official.

His position made other gods and immortals dare not get too close to him, and they would even stay away from him.

He really couldn't make too many friends with immortals and gods, otherwise he would be suspected of favoritism and corruption.

Let alone befriending him, it's hard to say how many of the immortals and gods he punished would harbor resentment.

In the Heavenly Court, he was truly disliked; in fact, if it weren't for his superior strength, he might have been ambushed long ago.

Those people might not dare to do anything to him, but they might target those close to him.

Therefore, it is understandable that he was worried about Richard's identity and believed that Richard might have some bad intentions in approaching Yang Chan.

"My world is in chaos and quite far from your world. It was by chance that I was able to come to your world."

Fellow Daoist Yang Jian, there's no need to worry. I truly have no ill intentions towards the Third Holy Mother.

As Richard spoke, he conjured a wisp of creative energy.

"Fortune..." Yang Jian murmured.

"I didn't expect you to be from the lineage of Goddess Nuwa. I apologize for my rudeness." Yang Jian's judgment was not bad. This kind of pure creation energy could not be faked by ordinary people. It required a deep understanding of the Dao of Creation.

This identity was quite convincing; at least Yang Jian stopped questioning his background.

"Fellow Daoist, did you come here for the Lotus Lantern?" Yang Jian looked at the Lotus Lantern on the lotus platform, its light faintly shimmering.

Third Sister, isn't the only connection you have with the Goddess Nuwa here this Lotus Lantern?

"No, True Lord, there is no need to doubt me. I did not come for the Lotus Lantern."

"Since the Lotus Lantern has already recognized Fellow Daoist Yang Chan as its master, then it is her destiny with the Lotus Lantern," Richard said.

"If Your Majesty has nothing urgent to discuss, why don't we sit down and have a chat? I'm quite curious about things in Heaven," Richard said.

"Then let's sit for a while." Yang Jian had been thinking the same thing, and when he heard the invitation, he came over with his dog, Xiaotian, and sat down cross-legged.

Richard took out some spiritual fruits and tea from the Origin World, and Xiao Yao, with her keen eye, made a small tea table for each person.

He was indeed quite curious about some things, and after chatting with Yang Chan these past few days, he learned that she hadn't made any preparations at all.

All she wanted was for herself to stop falling in love with Liu Yanchang.

There wouldn't have been so many subsequent problems, and my second brother wouldn't have had to compromise and rescue her.

But she never thought that a goddess who had lived for thousands of years could fall in love with a man so easily. Was there something wrong with that?

After spending these past few days together, he could tell that Yang Chan wasn't love-struck; she was just a bit naive because she had always been protected by Yang Jian. Otherwise, she was fine.

She is by no means willful. If her character were not good enough, the Lotus Lantern would not have recognized her as its master, would it?

There's more to this than meets the eye.

Yang Chan was most likely set up by someone.

After Liu Yanchang appeared, she seemed to lose her mind, abandoning all her responsibilities and the rules of heaven.

This is quite different from her current behavior.

That's completely out of character for her.

In this mythical world, there are far too many ways to do this.

For example, the red thread of fate from the Heavenly Matchmaker, powerful individuals who have mastered the Way of Love and Desire, and powerful individuals who are proficient in cause and effect and destiny—there are just too many to list.

Yang Chan was completely stunned when Richard brought these things up.

She still thought that she had simply fallen in love with a mortal because she couldn't bear the heavenly rules.

Richard even asked her at the time, "Didn't you ask Raymond Lam in the group chat?"

From Lin Feng's perspective as a long-time anime fan, he would definitely analyze the conspiracy theories for her and show off a bit.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Chan said she hadn't asked at all; ever since Lin Feng sent her the plot, she had been reading it herself.

I felt so ashamed that I never mentioned my situation in the group chat.

Okay, I feel like if I don't help this group member out, she'll have to go back to the old storyline.

This is not something that can be solved simply by being on guard.

Marriage, desire, karma—it's all complicated.

She needs to take action and find out who is plotting against her, otherwise she won't be able to break out of this predicament.

Even with her abilities, she couldn't break the deadlock by force alone.

Perfect timing, since Yang Jian is here, we can ask him.
