~7 min read 1,364 words

"Miss Tang." Jin Zha bowed to Tang An. "If we speak of seniority from the Third Brother, you are still our elder. I hope it wasn't presumptuous to call you Miss Tang?"

Tang An naturally didn't care about such trifles, "It's fine, call me whatever you like."

Muzha bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Miss Tang." As for what he was thanking her for, he didn't say it explicitly.

"Why are you two brothers being so polite." Tang An looked at Nezha; she had to see Nezha's reaction before considering what to say next.

Nezha didn't say anything, just turned away, unwilling to have any interaction with Jin Zha and Muzha.

But whether he was truly unwilling, or just too proud to get past his own inner hurdle, Tang An could still tell.

With a personality like Nezha's, proud and stubborn, someone else definitely needed to take the initiative to get closer to him.

Don't look at his outward demeanor, but inside...

"Third Brother!" Jin Zha went straight over and hugged Nezha's shoulders.

Nezha appeared angry and cold, flames igniting on his body, wanting to make Jin Zha retreat in the face of difficulty.

"Fire, fire, fire!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Jin Zha hurriedly patted his sleeves to extinguish the fire, and Muzha came to help.

Nezha glanced at them slightly, his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Third Brother, it's been so many years, why do you still love playing with fire so much." Jin Zha manifested a treasure that could freeze fire into ice. As he shook his sleeves, the fire was completely extinguished.

Of course, Tang An could see clearly here that fire that could be extinguished so easily was definitely not Samadhi True Fire.

"I..." Nezha just wanted to speak, but was interrupted again.

"Third Brother." Muzha looked at Nezha, seemingly gathering the courage to say many things, but when the words reached his mouth, only sentimentality and sadness remained.

Jin Zha stood between them, hugging one on each side.

"I say, have you two lost the ability to speak properly?"

"We've all become immortals and gods, we can say what we want and do what we want."

And the implication of this sentence was: "The past is over, the old grudges are over. How to live now is up to them."

Seeing that Nezha was no longer burning him with fire, Jin Zha couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Third Brother, we'll go report to the Heavenly Court in a while, and from now on, we'll all be in the same place."

"Whether you take these scriptures or not, it's only a matter of a few days in heaven."

"When you come back, you must teach me and your Second Brother well about the experience of being a god in the Heavenly Court."

"Your Second Brother and I will also visit you often."

Nezha frowned and shrugged off Jin Zha's arm. "Soppy." His expression remained as cold as ever.

"Tsk, is being soppy bad? Being soppy is quite good, and I..."

Before Jin Zha could finish, Nezha used a small spell to block his mouth with a cloud.

"Where are we going next? Time to go." Nezha returned to Tang An's side, and even his expression at this moment had a feeling of finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Tang An tried hard to hold back her laughter; this was the time when Nezha cared most about his face, so she absolutely couldn't make him feel awkward.

"Let's go back to the Great Tang to rest for a few days; whether we continue the Journey to the West or not, we'll wait for news from Rulai."

"How about this, you and Yang Jian go say goodbye to your master, and I'll go say goodbye to my master too."

"Hmm." Nezha replied and flew away quickly.

Yang Jian smiled without a word, nodded to Jin Zha and Muzha, and also went to Yuding Zhenren.

Tang An looked at Jin Zha and Muzha, "Parting today, I don't know when we'll meet again."

"I hope you two will visit Lady Yin more often after you take up your posts in the Heavenly Court."

Jin Zha and Muzha knew Tang An's good intentions and nodded with a smile. "That is only right."

Tang An breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I shouldn't have said so much about this. But I am Nezha's master, and some things must be considered more for his sake."

"If I have overstepped, please forgive me."

Muzha was clumsy with words and couldn't speak well, just nodding and shaking his head repeatedly.

Jin Zha laughed: "Miss Tang's personality as a master and as herself is truly worlds apart."

"But this kindness, I, Jin Zha, and my second brother, Muzha, will remember it."

No, Tang An felt that Jin Zha's praise sounded like he was insulting her.

"Then we two will part here, looking forward to chatting with you again next time, Miss Tang." Jin Zha seemed to have deliberately raised his voice for this sentence.

Nezha heard this and understood that Jin Zha was deliberately teasing him, glaring over immediately.

Seeing this, Jin Zha tried hard to hold back his laughter, but also waved at Nezha.

Muzha gathered his courage and said, "Third Brother, we'll wait for you to come back."

"Right, waiting for you to come back." Jin Zha repeated, then left with Muzha.

Seeing the two of them leave, Nezha seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Tang An's "Immortal Experience Card" had also expired, so she hugged the Qingping Sword and came to the ground, walking toward Lishan Laomu.

"Master."

She didn't say any words of thanks, because great kindness doesn't need to be spoken; she kept it all in her heart.

"Hmm." Lishan Laomu took out another treasure, a bracelet that looked as transparent as glaze, with thin clouds seemingly drifting inside.

"This object is called the Cold Moon Bracelet, forged from a wisp of Taiyin power borrowed from Taiyin Yuanjun. Wearing it, it can be hidden within your body to keep you safe."

"As long as it's not a Saint making a move, ordinary techniques will find it hard to hurt you."

"Wow~" Tang An put the Cold Moon Bracelet on her hand, and sure enough, as soon as the bracelet touched her hand, it disappeared immediately.

She didn't have any other feelings, just felt that she seemed to have become a bit more awesome.

"Thank you, Master!" Tang An said and was about to kneel to kowtow and thank Lishan Laomu.

Lishan Laomu helped her up with a gentle force, "The matter is settled, and it's time for me to go back."

"After the journey west ends, I look forward to the day I see you again."

"Alright, take care, Master, I'll definitely come visit you after the Journey to the West ends."

After seeing Lishan Laomu off, Tang An remembered.

That's not right, on the journey west, doesn't Lishan Laomu still have to appear once? Why look forward to seeing her again after the journey ends?

Can't figure it out.

Forget it, don't think about it, my head hurts.

"Destined One." Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren flew to Tang An.

Yuding Zhenren didn't stand on ceremony, "Regarding Yang Jian, since we are both his masters, I won't say thanks."

"In any case, you did very well."

Taiyi Zhenren signaled Yuding Zhenren to step aside, "That's more than just 'well'? More than just 'very well'?"

"You did it so beautifully; that was something that finally allowed our Daoism to vent its anger."

"In the future, if you're in trouble, just have Nezha go to Jinguang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain to find me, I, Taiyi, will absolutely not say a second word!"

Yuding Zhenren looked at Taiyi Zhenren's excited appearance and reminded him: "Oh? Now you have 'no second words'?"

"I wonder who it was before..."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Taiyi Zhenren didn't give Yuding Zhenren a chance to speak at all, "We're leaving first, Destined One, if you need anything, just say the word, we'll definitely both come to help."

Before the words faded, the two immortals were gone without a trace.
