Chapter 73 About Marshal Tianpeng
Yang Zhen came back to his senses and found that Kui Mulang was looking at him with a look of confusion in his eyes. Seeing this, Yang Zhen turned his eyes and waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, nothing. I suddenly thought of something, so I'm a little disobedient. Forgive me, forgive me!"
"It's okay!" Seeing that Yang Zhen didn't want to say it, Kui Mulang didn't continue to ask, but he couldn't find any topics to talk about for a while, so the two fell silent.
Fortunately, Yang Zhen’s eldest apprentice Jia Yao suddenly broke in and shouted: “Master!” and rushed towards Yang Zhen.
It turned out that when the servants from Taibai Jinxing Mansion saw Yang Zhen coming to find Jiayao, they sent someone to go outside to call Jiayao back. When Jiayao heard that it was the master who came to see her, she did not play with her new sister. After saying hello, she hurried back to Jinxing Mansion and saw her master going.
Since she has lived in the Heavenly Court for less than a year, Jiayao still looks like a child, but she is much taller than the one who just came to the Heavenly Court.
"What did you play outside today?" Yang Zhen asked with a smile.
"Today I met a new elder sister. She is so beautiful and has been playing with Jiayao." Jiayao said.
"Jiayao!" Yang Zhen looked at Kui Mulang and introduced to Jiayao: "This uncle is Kui Mulang among the twenty-eight constellations. He and I picked you up that year. Come and say hello."
"Hello Uncle Kui Mulang!" Jia Yao said obediently.
Kui Mulang was filled with joy when he heard this, and laughed and said, "Okay! OK! In a blink of an eye, you have become a big girl. In a few years, you will get married! You were only so old when you saw you!" As he said that, Kui Mulang also gestured with his hand to signal how young Jiayao was.
Until night, Jiayao had already gone to rest, and Taibai Jinxing rushed back from the Jade Emperor.
When he saw Yang Zhen and Kui Mulang, Taibai Jinxing did not directly talk about the serious matters, but instead asked about the situation of the two fighting: "Two brothers, what's the outcome? Alas! If the Jade Emperor hadn't suddenly summoned important things, I would definitely not have missed such a wonderful competition."
"Brother Yang is still better than his skills, but he is defeated again." Kui Mulang said with a wry smile.
When Yang Zhen heard this, he was not humble. After responding, he asked Taibai Jinxing about the important matter: "I have been discussing with the Jade Emperor for so long, but is there anything important?"
Taibai Jinxing nodded and said, "This time Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal world. There was no one to command the 100,000 naval troops in Tianhe. The Jade Emperor planned to let Brother Yang, you take over the position of Marshal Tianpeng and command the Tianhe naval troops. But Emperor Ziwei turned over at this time and mentioned that the old sage Tiangang sage, who was appointed Marshal Tianpeng, succeeded to the position of Marshal Tianpeng. For this reason, Brother, I discussed with the Jade Emperor for several hours."
Yang Zhen was the time when he needed merit the most. If he became Marshal Tianpeng, it would definitely be much better than now. Maybe the mall upgrade speed could be faster. So Yang Zhen hurriedly asked, "What's the result? What's the discussion?"
Taibai Jinxing sighed and said, "The advantage of the Great Sage of Tiangang is that he follows Marshal Ren Tianpeng for the New Year. He has great hard work and great contributions. He has a lot of connections in the Tianhe River Army. It can be said that he will succeed Marshal Tianpeng as a legitimate one. Brother Yang, you have been in the Heaven Court for a short time and have not made any great contributions. If you discuss this matter at the meeting tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be no great hope."
Yang Zhen was silent when he heard this. Of course, Yang Zhen knew his disadvantages, but Yang Zhen also knew where his strength was, that is, his strength was definitely a hundred times stronger than the so-called Tiangang Great Saint. But today's Heaven is not the one with the strongest strength, whoever has the greater official position. The Heavenly Heaven emphasizes background, qualifications, credit, and connections. Having strength only means having potential. Want to be promoted? Let's wait!
After thinking through this, Yang Zhen calmed his restless heart and said, "Since I don't know much, then let it go this time. Anyway, the future is long, and there are still many opportunities for promotion in the future."
Yang Zhen let go, but Taibai Jinxing was anxious. If Yang Zhen didn't do Marshal Tian Peng, wouldn't that mean that Beidou Jiuchen would return to the control of Emperor Ziwei again?
The Jade Emperor's staff, except for Yang Zhen, who has defeated Marshal Ren Tianpeng, there is no one who is qualified to compete for this position. So the Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing mean that Yang Zhen will compete for Marshal Tianpeng's position, but how to do it depends on Yang Zhen's method.
The best way is of course Yang Zhen assassinated the Great Sage of Tiangang, so that Yang Zhen can successfully serve as Marshal Tianpeng. As for other opposition voices, there are opportunities to clear them in the future.
Looking at Yang Zhen, Taibai Jinxing said, "Brother Yang, this time it is a great opportunity, you must not give up."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If I had the chance, how could I give up? But no matter from any aspect, the Great Sage of Tiangang is the most suitable candidate. I have too little experience in the Heavenly Court and I don't have much competitiveness at all."
"Brother Yang, don't forget that your strength is above the Great Saint of Tiangang!" Taibai Jinxing said meaningfully.
After hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, Yang Zhen was silent. Of course, Yang Zhen knew what Taibai Jinxing's words mean, but Yang Zhen did not want to do so. Yang Zhen admitted that he was a somewhat selfish person, but Yang Zhen was not without a bottom line.
Of course, Yang Zhen would not be ruthless when it comes to killing innocent monsters, but Yang Zhen was still a little reluctant to do anything to some people who had no evil deeds. Although doing so would be huge for Yang Zhen, the bottom line is the bottom line. If it falls below this line, people will change as well.
Shaking his head, Yang Zhen said, "It's not a competition to decide who will serve as Marshal Tianpeng. What's the use of being strong? If there really is no chance tomorrow, then give up. As I said, there are still many days in the future just now, so there is no need to rush to this moment."
Yang Zhen said this, which was equivalent to rejecting Taibai Jinxing's "meaning". Taibai Jinxing's face looked a little ugly at the moment, and even his smile was a little reluctant.
Originally, Taibai Jinxing believed that Yang Zhen was a member of the demon clan and would definitely retain some of the habits of the demon clan.
As long as you kill someone, you can get benefits. It is really common among the demon clan. So Taibai Jinxing still made a promise in front of the Jade Emperor that he would definitely convince Yang Zhen. But he didn't expect that Yang Zhen would refuse so firmly and would not give Taibai Jinxing the opportunity to continue persuasion.
At this time, Kui Mulang also said: "I also think there is no need for Brother Yang to compete for the position of Marshal Tianpeng. Marshal Tianpeng is the commander in charge of the naval army, and Brother Yang is the best at the three-flavor true fire magic powers. Both are completely incompatible with water and fire. Moreover, the successor of the Great Sage of Tiangang as Marshal Tianpeng is indeed legitimate. If Brother Yang forcefully competes with him, the gods in the Heavenly Court will probably not agree."
