Chapter 296: Lady Yin: Before you leave, can you give Mother a big hug?

Taiyi Zhenren watched everything happen, already stunned and frozen in place.

"Let me interrupt for a moment."

"Is there anyone who wants to ask for my opinion?"

Tang An had almost forgotten about him, "Then do you want Nezha to become an immortal?"

"That is the child I taught, of course I want to."

"Or let me change the question: do you want Nezha to be imprisoned by your senior fellow apprentice?"

"Child, what are you saying?"

"Let's go, back to Li Fu, I will explain it to you all slowly."

The guest hall of Li Fu.

Tang An and her three disciples, the couple Li Jing and Lady Yin, Mo Wan Nezha, as well as Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao.

She roughly described the origins of her and her three disciples, and then spoke of the hidden, unspeakable truth within the Demon-Catching Squad.

Of course, the origin she spoke of was half-true and half-false; she roughly said they came from the future, traveling through time and space to save Mo Wan Nezha.

As for the Demon-Catching Squad, whether what she said was true or false, Shen Gongbao was the one who knew best.

"Impossible!"

Taiyi Zhenren was the first not to believe it; he did not believe his senior fellow apprentice was that kind of person.

"Junior fellow apprentice, you were the captain of the Demon-Catching Squad before, don't just stay silent, speak up quickly."

Shen Gongbao looked at Tang An, "Can you really save the lives of my family?"

"I will do my best."

"How can I trust you?"

"You can certainly choose not to believe; after all, the one who has to pay the price is not me."

Hearing the conversation between Tang An and Shen Gongbao, Taiyi Zhenren understood that what Tang An said was not without foundation.

The right and wrong, the good and evil he understood were, at this moment, disturbing his Dao Heart into chaos.

"Impossible, perhaps the Demon-Catching Squad did something in secret, and Senior Fellow Apprentice might not have known about it."

Tang An was not in a hurry to prove anything; she only needed to plant a seed of doubt in Taiyi Zhenren's heart, and that would be enough.

As long as one looks at the actions of the Demon-Catching Squad with a skeptical mindset, it is not difficult to see the clues.

"Taiyi Zhenren, are you willing to make a bet with me? Bet that your senior fellow apprentice is not a villain."

"As long as you agree to let me have Nezha participate in the Ascension Examination plan, sooner or later, who wins and who loses will be revealed."

"If I lose, you have nothing to lose, and Nezha will become an immortal in one fell swoop; wouldn't that be better?"

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Li Jing and Lady Yin, seeking their opinions.

"Immortal," Li Jing bowed to Tang An, "I do not know what I can do for my child in this situation?"

He knew that Tang An was not a person with malicious intent, otherwise, that day, the entire Chentang Pass would have been swallowed by the aftermath of the Heavenly Punishment. And he, Li Jing, would have no life left to speak here.

He knew that Tang An was Nezha's master, so he silently accepted that Tang An was the destined master of the future Demon Child Nezha. Therefore, he trusted her.

"Yes, what can we do to help the two Zha'er?"

"You all..." Tang An looked at Nezha and Mo Wan Nezha, "You just need to protect Chentang Pass."

"Additionally, we might stay at Li Fu for these few days; sorry to bother you both."

"Immortal, what are you saying." Lady Yin immediately had people arrange the best guest rooms for the four of them to rest.

The next morning.

Taiyi Zhenren, Mo Wan Nezha, and Tang An and her three disciples planned to leave.

All the detailed procedures for the ascension had been discussed yesterday. Now, they just needed to act according to the plan.

Lady Yin chased after them, bringing two identical bundles. Inside were all sorts of wrapped food, for fear that the two children would go hungry on the road.

"I... I have one too?"

"Both are Mother's Zha'er, naturally you have one." Lady Yin felt deeply for Nezha, because she could see from his eyes that the child must have suffered a great deal.

Nezha turned away, "I no longer need to eat grains, give it to him instead." His awkward and prideful nature appeared again.

Lady Yin did not take it to heart, but smiled as she pulled Nezha over and shoved the bundle into his arms.

Mo Wan Nezha said, "Just take it, it's all Mother's heart, why are you even more awkward than me."

Nezha was speechless and looked at Tang An.

Tang An helped Nezha stuff the bundle into his Universe Bag, "Thank you, Lady Yin."

"Right." Before leaving, Tang An looked at Mo Wan Nezha, "Did you forget one thing?"

"What thing?"

"Kicking the shuttlecock."

Mo Wan Nezha said excitedly, "Can I? Can I?"

"Of course." Li Jing stepped out, "Child, Father promised to accompany you to kick the shuttlecock, come."

"Quick, quick, quick." Tang An signaled for them to move stools and sit down, "The good show is about to begin."

Li Jing did not understand, "Immortal, what does this mean?"

Lady Yin reminded him, "That... Zha'er's strength is a bit great, you had better wear your armor."

"Hahahahaha."

Li Jing flicked his robe, "I am a dignified military general!"

"Bang!"

"Slap!"

"Boom!"

On a wall, there were three Li Jing-shaped indentations.

"Good!" Tang An clapped repeatedly; she loved watching this dignified general segment, perform more.

Li Jing was kicked until his Qi and blood surged, but he still struggled out from the wall.

"As expected of my son, come again!"

Mo Wan Nezha felt too embarrassed to kick him again, "How about we do this another day?"

"Nonsense, today we shall kick to our heart's content." Li Jing kicked the shuttlecock back, even kicking it to Nezha.

"Both my Zha'er come together, your father can handle it."

Just this one sentence caused Nezha, who had originally caught the shuttlecock, to fumble and drop it to the ground.

"Zha'er, what is the matter?" Lady Yin asked worriedly.

Nezha turned around, his aura difficult to calm.

"It is time to set off, I am leaving first." After saying this, he ignored them and flew away on his own.

Mo Wan Nezha looked at Nezha, able to empathize, yet unable to empathize.

"If only I were not the Demon Pill."

"What are you saying, Zha'er?"

"It is nothing." Mo Wan Nezha turned to a smile, "I should also be heading out, Mother."

Lady Yin crouched down, "Zha'er, before you leave, can you give Mother a big hug?"

Mo Wan Nezha just reached out his hand, then saw the gazes of so many commoners behind them.

"Oh my, everyone is watching, let's talk about it next time."

He was just like millions of other children, always shy about expressing love for his parents.

Seeing that Nezha was about to leave, Tang An blocked his path.

"Master, you..." Mo Wan Nezha had already accepted that Tang An was his future Master. Therefore, he called Tang An Master directly.

"Little brat, what is with the tsundere act? If they want to watch, let them watch."

Tang An grabbed Mo Wan Nezha by the ear and kicked him in the backside.

It was perfectly aimed, landing him right in Lady Yin's arms.

Or rather, Mo Wan Nezha could also judge the angle at which he was kicked. So... he also let Tang An kick him.

Lady Yin understood Tang An's intention, gave her a grateful look, and held her Zha'er tightly in her arms.

"Zha'er, your temper is explosive; you must remain calm when encountering matters abroad."

"With Father and Mother not by your side, you must take good care of yourself and not let Mother worry."

"And also..."

"I know, Mother." Mo Wan Nezha released Lady Yin and patted his chest in assurance. "I have a handsome self and two Masters; I am perfectly safe."

"I am leaving, Mother."

He turned and left; even if he was reluctant, he still had to continue moving forward.

Saying this, Mo Wan Nezha jumped onto the flying pig and left with Taiyi Zhenren without looking back.

Seeing this, Tang An only smiled and did not say much.

Lady Yin looked at Tang An and bowed, "Immortal, with both Zha'er abroad, I ask that you look after them more on behalf of my husband and me."

Li Jing also bowed, "Everything is entrusted to you, Immortal."

Tang An nodded to signify her agreement, "I am off."
