Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "I don't know what level of cultivation Venus is. People think that Venus's cultivation is not high, but I can't see through him. I'm afraid he is not much worse than those great supernatural beings."
Lu Qiwen let out a breath and said, "No wonder...no wonder I couldn't tell his cultivation level."
Just then, Venus, who looked like an ordinary person, swayed over as if he might be blown over by the wind at any moment.
Venus's gaze lingered on Lu Qiwen for a moment before he said, "Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, His Majesty invites you two inside for a talk."
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Thank you, Old Lady Bai."
Venus waved his hand and said, "Bodhisattva, you're too kind. Please go in now!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva entered the courtyard first, followed by Lu Qiwen.
The moment Lu Qiwen stepped into the courtyard, the scenery before him changed. He had thought it was just a courtyard, but unexpectedly, he found himself surrounded by green hills and clear waters. In front of him, a lotus pond was blooming with bright lotus flowers amidst a bamboo grove, and a small pavilion sat on the lotus pond, with figures flickering inside.
Lu Qiwen looked around and thought that this Jade Emperor, whom he had never met, really knew how to grasp people's hearts. Just by looking at the scenery here, he could tell that it was somewhat similar to the Purple Bamboo Grove in the South China Sea where Guanyin Bodhisattva was. The Jade Emperor chose to meet Guanyin Bodhisattva here, giving people a feeling of being at home. Such shrewdness made Lu Qiwen sigh.
Judging from Guanyin Bodhisattva's calm expression, Lu Qiwen knew that the Bodhisattva must have known about the Jade Emperor's actions for a long time, and perhaps this was not her first time visiting Ziguang Garden.
As soon as Lu Qiwen and Guanyin Bodhisattva entered the courtyard, a fairy maiden immediately came forward to lead the way for them.
The path twisted and turned, passing a tall artificial hill, and the lotus pond came into Lu Qiwen's view. Lu Qiwen could also see that two people were sitting in the pavilion. One of them was a man wearing a purple robe. Although he could not see the man's face clearly at first, what impressed Lu Qiwen the most was that in that fleeting glance, Lu Qiwen saw a pair of wise eyes, and at the same time, an aura of royalty emanated from him. That majestic aura of royalty made Lu Qiwen feel an urge to bow down.
Just as Lu Qiwen was struggling to hold on and was about to give up, the small lotus platform inside Lu Qiwen's body suddenly emitted light. However, the light only protected Lu Qiwen's sea of consciousness, and in an instant, Lu Qiwen was freed from the influence of the aura emanating from the Jade Emperor.
Seemingly sensing Lu Qiwen's change, the Jade Emperor, sitting in the pavilion, couldn't help but exclaim softly. He was clearly quite surprised that Lu Qiwen, a mere immortal, could remain sober under the pressure of his aura.
A noble and dignified lady was smiling as she looked at the Jade Emperor, who was showing a surprised expression. This lady was none other than the Queen Mother of the West.
Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed unaware that the Jade Emperor was pressuring Lu Qiwen with his aura. She walked calmly to the pavilion, her gaze falling on the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and said indifferently, "Greetings, Jade Emperor and Queen Mother."
Lu Qiwen then addressed the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, saying, "Lu Qiwen, a wandering immortal from the mortal realm, greets Your Majesty the Jade Emperor and Your Majesty the Queen Mother."
The Jade Emperor looked at Lu Qiwen with great interest and smiled, "Are you the disciple accepted by Patriarch Subhuti?"
Lu Qiwen hadn't expected the Jade Emperor to ask him this question. After a moment of surprise, Lu Qiwen realized that with the Jade Emperor's status, if he wanted to investigate his background, it would be effortless for him to uncover everything about him.
Therefore, after a moment of surprise, Lu Qiwen nodded to the Jade Emperor and said, "I am grateful to my master for taking me under his wing."
The Jade Emperor said nothing more, but gestured to the celestial maidens behind him to set up seats for Guanyin Bodhisattva and Lu Qiwen.
Guanyin Bodhisattva sat down calmly, while Lu Qiwen felt somewhat uncomfortable. Although he was relaxed in his mindset, he was now facing the supreme being of the Three Realms, someone Lu Qiwen had to look up to a few years ago. Now, being able to sit opposite her made Lu Qiwen momentarily unable to react.
Seemingly sensing Lu Qiwen's unease, the Queen Mother smiled calmly and said, "I've heard that Subhuti has taken in a fine disciple, and seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Lu Qiwen blushed slightly upon hearing the Queen Mother's praise and said, "Your Majesty flatters me. I am of mediocre talent and do not deserve such praise."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "There are very few people who can remain calm under His Majesty's imperial aura, but you, who are only an immortal, are not affected by His Majesty's imperial aura. You are indeed worthy of being the disciple that Subhuti values."
When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw Lu Qiwen's embarrassed expression, she said, "This humble monk has come here because I have something I wish to ask Your Majesty for help with."
The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "What do you need my help with, Great Bodhisattva? Is there anything that could trouble you?"
So Lu Qiwen recounted the bet he made with Zhang Zhengyi. The Jade Emperor listened and laughed, "I see. Since the Celestial Master's lineage is descended from Zhang Daoling, why don't I issue an edict to send Zhang Daoling down to the mortal realm to persuade Zhang Zhengyi to retract his previous statement?"
Lu Qiwen was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting the Jade Emperor to come up with such a solution. However, after thinking for a moment, Lu Qiwen shook his head and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. Although it is true that if Celestial Master Zhang Daoling descends to the mortal realm to put pressure on Zhang Zhengyi, he will certainly be able to retract his previous statement, but deep down he will not truly be convinced. Therefore, I still hope to convince him through a bet."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor laughed and said, "Very well, your desire proves that you are not a short-sighted person. Now tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
Lu Qiwen glanced at Guanyin Bodhisattva and, seeing that the Bodhisattva did not intend to speak, Lu Qiwen took a deep breath and said, "I made a bet with Zhang Zhengyi that if I could make day and night reversed, he would take back what he said."
The Jade Emperor frowned and said, "Even I don't have the ability to reverse day and night, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
Lu Qiwen shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty can do it. What I mean is not that I actually want to reverse the universe, but rather that Your Majesty can issue an edict to use a magical artifact to temporarily cover the sky for a period of time, so that daytime will become night..."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's eyes lit up. Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke up from the side, "Does Your Majesty still remember when Tang Sanzang and his disciples encountered Laozi's Golden and Silver Boys on their journey to the West, and how the Great Sage made a bet with a little demon to take back the heavens in order to seize the treasure?"
Upon hearing Guanyin Bodhisattva mention this matter, the Jade Emperor smiled and nodded, saying, "I remember. So, Lu Qiwen, do you want me to send someone to cover the sky for a while?"
Lu Qiwen nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, please grant my request!"
Instead of giving Lu Qiwen a direct answer, the Jade Emperor turned to the Queen Mother sitting beside him and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Lu Qiwen's gaze fell eagerly on the Queen Mother, hoping she could put in a good word for him.
Seemingly noticing Lu Qiwen's gaze, the Queen Mother glanced at him and smiled slightly, saying, "Lu Qiwen is a disciple of Subhuti, and today he has also invited Guanyin Bodhisattva to act as an intermediary. It would be unreasonable for His Majesty not to agree."
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll listen to Your Majesty. I grant your request."
Lu Qiwen was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing Lu Qiwen's excited appearance, the Jade Emperor laughed and said, "Someone, bring a few of the six-thousand-year-old peaches."
Immediately, a fairy maiden descended and soon returned carrying a tray with several ripe peaches on it.
Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's words, Lu Qiwen couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation for the legendary peaches of immortality. When he saw the peaches placed on the tray, he couldn't help but swallow hard. Although the lotus seeds and lotus roots in his carefree paradise were no less precious than the peaches of immortality, the peaches of immortality were renowned far and wide, so Lu Qiwen's reaction was perfectly normal.
The Queen Mother of the West gestured to the fairy maiden to present the peaches of immortality to Lu Qiwen and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said with a smile, "Young Master Lu is a disciple of Patriarch Subhuti, so these peaches of immortality are a gift from me and His Majesty."
Lu Qiwen hadn't expected that Subhuti Patriarch would have such great influence as his master, that he, as a disciple, could receive such treatment.
Lu Qiwen hurriedly bowed to the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor to express his gratitude. After putting away the peaches, Lu Qiwen thought for a moment and finally took out dozens of crystal-clear lotus seeds that exuded a delicate fragrance, as well as a few snow-white and crystal-clear lotus roots.
When Lu Qiwen took out those two items, the unique fragrance of lotus seeds and lotus roots filled the air. Even though the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor had seen countless spiritual objects, they couldn't help but show surprise when they saw the lotus seeds and lotus roots that Lu Qiwen had taken out.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but glance at Lu Qiwen. She seemed surprised that Lu Qiwen would take out these two spiritual items. However, seeing Lu Qiwen's actions, Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded to herself.
Lu Qiwen presented the two spiritual items to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, saying, "I am deeply grateful for the generous gifts from Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I have nothing else to offer in return, but these lotus seeds and lotus roots are something I obtained by chance. I would like to present them to Your Majesty and Your Majesty today."
Immediately, a fairy maiden took the two spiritual items that Lu Qiwen had handed over and presented them to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
