Chapter 1081 - 39: Want to See You

The Queen Mother heard the tone of the Jade Emperor and wasn’t angry; instead, she quickly walked up, looked at the round fan in her hand, and asked, "Do you think what Little Radish said is true?"

"What true?" The Jade Emperor frowned.

"She said she likes me, admires me," said the Queen Mother.

"What are you thinking? That’s just what she said to save her senior sister, and she also said she liked me," the Jade Emperor thought with a slight roll of his eyes.

"That’s different. She also said she liked Gold Star Taibai and the Old Lord, but only I received a gift, and it’s the first magic artifact she made after learning Artifact Refining," the Queen Mother said happily as she shook the round fan in her hand.

"Look at you, so smug. I can’t bear to look," snorted the Jade Emperor.

"But, I really can’t dislike that Little Radish. She seems to have some weird aura. Don’t you think so?" the Queen Mother asked the Jade Emperor, shaking the round fan in her hand.

The Jade Emperor paused in his steps, seriously pondered over it: "It seems that way. A bit like a balanced and harmonious aura? But no! A bit like a heaven and earth cosmic aura? No way, right? It must be our illusion. Just a Little Radish, after all."

"Do you think she’s really just a Radish Spirit?" asked the Queen Mother again.

"Could she not be a Radish Spirit, but actually a mutated ginseng spirit?" The Jade Emperor was puzzled.

The Queen Mother: "..." Didn’t want to speak to the Jade Emperor, what’s with the urge to roll her eyes?

"Should I send someone to keep an eye on her? To see what she really cultivated into?" The Jade Emperor pondered whether to do so.

"No need. Her talent is excellent. When True Monarch Hanshan brought her to the Heavenly Court, she hadn’t even formed a shape. Yet, shortly after, she learned to transform, and after some seclusion, she matured. She indeed has immeasurable potential, but she deeply cares for True Monarch Hanshan and her senior sister, so there’s no need to worry about her being a threat to the Heavenly Court. Just be nicer to True Monarch Hanshan and Yi Lan in the future." the Queen Mother analyzed.

"How do you know so much?" The Jade Emperor looked at the Queen Mother with suspicion.

"Right after the court session, I had someone look into the records about this Little Radish," the Queen Mother grinned, shaking the round fan in her hand, "This fan is indeed the first magic artifact she refined after learning Artifact Refining. She treasures it dearly."

The Jade Emperor: "..." Didn’t want to speak to the Queen Mother, what’s with the urge to roll his eyes?

...

Yi Lan nervously and uneasily returned to Cold Mountain Palace with Tianmiao. As soon as they entered, they saw True Monarch Hanshan sitting there with a dark expression, waiting for them.

"Master," Yi Lan called out weakly.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" True Monarch Hanshan asked sternly, with a dark expression.

"I was wrong to not trust others easily and shouldn’t have dealt with Bai He Immortal casually. I should have walked away as soon as I saw him; I shouldn’t have listened to his words," Yi Lan said, head lowered.

"Wrong!" True Monarch Hanshan raised his voice sternly, "Wrong for not trusting in your master, wrong for not wanting to trouble your master! From the beginning, you should have told me about this. I would have gone to the Hundred Flowers Palace to reason it out, nipping it in the bud. That way, you wouldn’t have suffered any grievance or fright."

"Master?" Yi Lan was stunned, looked up at her master, not quite understanding.

"You always tell your junior sister that when she causes trouble, she should rely on her master for support. But what about you? You always try to solve things on your own, silently bearing it all. Can’t you stop being so reasonable just for once? Is it possible for you to be a little willful sometimes, letting me experience what it feels like to be a master?" True Monarch Hanshan stated sincerely.

"Master..." Yi Lan choked up a bit.
