"What is this?" the Queen Mother murmured.

She had to admit that she had indeed underestimated Li Jing.

Before this, she had thought about a lot, but she didn't expect Li Jing to give her advice and ask her to cooperate with Buddhism.

Indeed, compared to Sun Wukong, whom she did not want to see again, and the arrogant Yuanshi Tianzun, the two Western saints were much easier to get along with.

Apart from anything else, at least when she and the Jade Emperor went to meet several saints, although the two saints from the West were also arrogant, they were not as hurtful as the Three Pure Ones.

In addition, as Li Jing wrote in the memorial, there have been precedents of cooperation between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism.

Although the process of the Journey to the West is a bit confusing, it is undeniable that the cooperation between Heaven and Buddhism is still good.

In other words, if it really comes to the point of seeking foreign aid, the West is indeed a better choice.

Li Jing said righteously, "Your Majesty, I believe that instead of placing our hopes on Jin'ao Island or Yuxu Palace, it would be better to resume cooperation with the Buddhist sect."

"Compared to the former, the two Western Saints should not be stingy in cooperating with the Heavenly Court. Moreover, with the help of my ministers, perhaps the price that the Heavenly Court can spend will be even lower."

Every word he said put the interests of Heaven and Queen Mother first.

No matter whether his real thoughts are as he said.

At least, the Queen Mother is getting happier and happier the more she listens.

This feeling is as refreshing as someone bringing you a glass of ice water on a hot day.

The Queen Mother was overjoyed. "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, my dear minister. Are you up to the task?"

Having achieved his goal, Li Jing maintained an honest and loyal look on his face and solemnly clasped his fists: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

In fact, he was also very happy in his heart.

Sure enough, after trying many methods, it is very easy to replace Taibai Jinxing.

The Queen Mother was extremely satisfied with this. She looked at Li Jing with even more eagerness and immediately asked Li Jing to get the matter done as soon as possible.

Li Jing accepted the order and quickly left from the Lingxiao Palace.

He felt that once this matter was accomplished, he would replace Taibai Jinxing and become the Queen Mother's confidant.

Li Jing originally wanted to go directly to Lingshan to seek help from Buddhism.

But after thinking about it, he decided to first let out the frustration he had felt in his heart.

So, Li Jing turned a corner, and somehow, he happened to pass by Taibai Jinxing.

At that time, Taibai Jinxing seemed to be wandering aimlessly in the sky.

Looking at Li Jing who had passed by him several times, Taibai Jinxing frowned.

What does this guy want to do?

Thinking this way, Taibai Jinxing asked the question.

Seeing that Taibai Jinxing finally noticed him, the high-spirited Li Jing laughed and said: How did you know that the Queen Mother assigned me a confidential mission?

Who asked you this? Taibai Jinxing was speechless.

However, in order to maintain superficial peace, Taibai Jinxing had to suppress the desire to complain in his heart.

He smiled and said perfunctorily, "So that's the case. I wonder what important matter the Queen Mother has entrusted to you, Brother Li?"

Hearing this, Li Jing immediately became alert.

In his opinion, Taibai Jinxing's inquiries were probably intended to steal his own credit.

He just came to Taibai Jinxing to show off his happiness of having the opportunity to become the Queen Mother, but he didn't want to give the credit to the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Jing immediately shut his mouth, as if this matter was confidential and must not be disclosed.

There is something fishy... Taibai Jinxing keenly realized that this matter was definitely no trivial matter.

Then I asked myself what the Queen Mother has been worried about recently.

Taibai Jinxing instantly realized what Li Jing was going to do and what it was related to.

Does the Queen Mother have a new partner?

The fact that Li Jing had to do this proved that this cooperative relationship required the use of Li Jing's interpersonal relationships.

And the biggest network of contacts of this guy Li Jing is... Lingshan?

So that's how it is. Taibai Jinxing suppressed the thought in his mind and pretended that he hadn't guessed anything.

"Brother Li, just tell me, what exactly is it that made the Empress assign you to do this?"

Taibai Jinxing's plea made Li Jing feel as refreshed as if he had drunk ice water, and the depression in his heart finally disappeared at this moment.

He glanced at Taibai Jinxing with some pride: "Even if you, old Taibai, are smart, so what? You still can't guess what the Queen Mother is thinking."

Li Jing glanced at Taibai Jinxing proudly and said, "I'm sorry, but the Empress specifically stated that this matter must be kept secret. I can't expose it just because of my relationship with you, brother."

Taibai Jinxing was not at all surprised that Li Jing would say this, and immediately cooperated with a lonely expression.

Taibai Jinxing murmured reluctantly, "Since that's the case, brother, I wish you a successful start."

"You're welcome. I still have errands to run, so I can't accompany you, brother." Li Jing's goal had been achieved, so he naturally wouldn't stay any longer.

After watching Li Jing leave, Taibai Jinxing pretended to be distraught and immediately returned to his palace.

He must tell his master as soon as possible that Heaven wants to cooperate with Western Buddhism.

If this really happens, I'm afraid the underworld will encounter considerable setbacks.

This is a great opportunity to show his sincerity, how could he miss it!

After returning to the palace, Taibai Jinxing immediately used a special communication device to report this information.

This communication device suddenly appeared in his hands after he ran to the underworld to curry favor with someone and returned to heaven.

The moment this thing appeared in his hand, Taibai Jinxing learned how to use it without any instruction.

He thought it would take a long time before he could use this thing, but unexpectedly, Li Jing gave him such a big gift.

Taibai Jinxing even wondered if Li Jing was his lucky star.

The communication device in front of him turned on, and Kong Asan's figure appeared in the void. Taibai Jinxing immediately suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"What do you want from me?" Kong Asan, supporting his forehead with one hand, glanced at Taibai Jinxing.

Taibai Jinxing immediately knelt on the ground. The pressure he felt from Kong Asan when he met him before seemed to appear again.

He simply explained what had happened: "Master, I have something important to report. Today, Li Jing received a secret mission assigned by the Queen Mother."

"I'm afraid the Queen Mother is trying to contact the Western Buddhist sect to target our underworld. Master, please make preparations early."

Hearing this, Kong Asan glanced at the extremely calm Taibai Jinxing, with an inexplicable look in his eyes:

"Yes, this information is very useful to me, Taibai Jinxing, you're doing great, keep it up!"
