My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Amidst the radiance, the Four Heavenly Kings, with unparalleled solemnity, slowly manifested themselves upon the mortal world.

The Southern Growth Heavenly King, with a fiery red robe and a rainbow-like sword of wisdom, cuts through ignorance and severs karmic obstacles, accompanied by thunder, possessing both wisdom and courage.

The Northern Heavenly King, clad in flowing green robes, holds aloft a precious parasol adorned with jewels; with each wave, spiritual energy rains down, nourishing the soul.

The Eastern Heavenly King, dressed in a green robe and holding a jade pipa, is both compassionate and majestic. With each pluck of his strings, spring breezes and rains bring life to all things, and the world's filth is cleansed.

The Western Heavenly King, with his white robes as pure as snow, dragons and snakes coiled around his hands, eyes like torches, penetrating the three realms, his silver light shining everywhere, protecting all living beings.

The Four Heavenly Kings stood side by side, their majestic appearances exuding an aura of grandeur.

The oppressive aura emanating from them seemed to weave an invisible net, covering the entire void and causing everyone present to feel an unprecedented sense of awe and reverence.

Chu Wenchen and the Song couple were naturally the first to be affected. They looked up at the four enormous divine images, their previous arrogance completely gone, replaced by extreme fear on their faces.

Their two burly henchmen had already taken advantage of the chaos and escaped, disappearing without a trace.

In the Jade Pool, the ordinary people who were feasting were also startled and retreated to a distance, cautiously observing the four deities in the distance.

They were tall and imposing, with solemn faces, and golden light flowed around them, as if they had truly stepped out of ancient mythology to protect this world.

If they hadn't already witnessed a series of extraordinary events today, they would have been terrified to see such an astonishing scene.

At this moment, they began to whisper among themselves.

"What majestic deities! But the Four Heavenly Kings... I've never heard of them before."

"The Four Heavenly Kings are so powerful and awe-inspiring; we must be ignorant of their existence."

"To be able to come here and see this extraordinary person is an honor beyond measure!"

They had been wondering why, in such a vast celestial palace, there were only a few fairies singing and dancing here, and not a single other deity had been seen.

It now seems that the gods are not absent from this world, but rather hidden beyond the heavens.

Perhaps they disdain showing themselves in front of mortals, or perhaps there is some other reason.

But then the Four Heavenly Kings appeared...

"Speaking of which, who is that girl in white? Could she be the one who gave the order from the sky just now?"

More than one person thought this way.

At this moment, some guests in Yingxue Tower could no longer contain their excitement and were eager to share it with others. They whispered to the strangers around them about Chu Lengyu's identity, as they were the only ones who had witnessed everything that had happened today.

As word spread, more and more people learned who she was.

Some people only remembered at this moment that the person who sued the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the Jingzhao Prefecture a few days ago was her!

The matter was left unresolved that day, but I never expected to see a follow-up here today.

Before the gods, the people dared not act rashly, gazing at the girl with excitement and awe, hoping she would perform another miracle.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

The Southern Growth Heavenly King, dressed in a red robe, spoke first in a deep, resonant voice.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yun's heart stirred slightly. She looked at him cautiously and curiously, feeling that the Heavenly King's voice and tone seemed familiar... somewhat like Huang Yi.

Her gaze swept over the Four Heavenly Kings, and suddenly she had an expression of sudden realization.

Upon realizing Huang Yi and the others' "true identities," Lü Yun suddenly tensed up. She had been ordering the Four Heavenly Kings around to dig, build scaffolds, and move things around, doing all sorts of trivial tasks. Wasn't that going too far?

Green Bamboo felt a pang of unease and instinctively moved closer to Chu Lengyu. Then, a thought suddenly struck her: "I'm Miss's subordinate, and they're Miss's subordinates too. Does that mean I'm on par with the Four Heavenly Kings? Good heavens, this…"

Once this thought crossed her mind, her thoughts raced, and she could hardly contain herself.

Looking at the Chu couple, Chu Lengyu remained indifferent, having lost all patience with them.

She had probably seen through this family; they were all foolishly stupid and terribly greedy.

Take Chu Wen'er for example. She's always eyeing what Chu Lengyu has, wanting to take those things away from Chu Lengyu, regardless of whether she needs them or not, and never thinking about how much she already has.

From birth, she had already surpassed the vast majority of girls in this era, but she was never satisfied.

In fact, dissatisfaction is not necessarily a bad thing.

But they had clearly misunderstood and used the wrong methods.

This couple never thought about how to manage their affairs properly, but always sought opportunistic ways to gain power and status. They then became superior to others and increasingly unrestrained, but they were completely unworthy of their positions.

Chu Lengyu was not particularly attached to the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

But letting this title remain in the hands of someone like Chu Wenchen would only bring him shame.

Thinking of this, Chu Lengyu calmly said, "Please invite the Prefect of the Capital to come here for a talk."

Below, Shenjing, Jingzhao Prefecture.

Standing before the gates of the prefecture, the Prefect of the Capital was filled with mixed emotions and sighed repeatedly.

Previously, the Prefect of the Capital hesitated repeatedly and did not dare to step onto the dreamlike rainbow bridge and enter the fairyland in the clouds. But after the rainbow bridge completely disappeared, he felt lost and full of regret.

That's a celestial palace!

Perhaps this was his only chance in his life to step into the celestial palace, but he missed it because he hesitated and looked back.

Now, it’s too late to regret!

The Prefect of the Capital was filled with remorse.

Suddenly, a clear, cold female voice reached his ears, inviting him to a certain place for a chat.

He looked up in surprise and saw a huge divine image slowly descending from the horizon, approaching from afar.

A gigantic hand, obscuring the sky, descended from the horizon, gently grasped him, and lifted him above the clouds.

A moment later, the Prefect of Jingzhao stood on the edge of Yaochi, his steps faltering as he regained his footing.

The scenery of Yaochi was breathtaking, but the Prefect of the Capital clearly had no time to appreciate it at the moment.

He looked around and saw Chu Lengyu in front of him, with unparalleled beauty; beside him were the Chu couple, their faces pale; above them stood the Four Heavenly Kings, exuding majesty; behind them were the thousands of people of Shenjing, their eyes burning with intensity.

The scene left him speechless, as if he were having some absurd and unrestrained dream.

Chu Lengyu intended to personally reprimand this overly shrewd Prefect of the Capital, which is why she summoned him.

The Prefect of the Capital, however, was a man who had seen many storms, and quickly regained his composure, asking nervously, "May I ask what has happened here?"

"I invited you here to be a witness," Chu Lengyu said calmly.

As soon as the words fell, the Prefect of the Capital was struck by lightning, his heart trembling violently.

He suddenly realized that Chu Lengyu's voice was almost identical to the commanding, awe-inspiring voice of the woman from just now.

His pupils contracted sharply, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. At the same time, he noticed that the four majestic divine images were subtly protecting her.

The meaning is self-evident!

Seeing that the Prefect of the Capital suddenly became respectful and awe-inspiring, Chu Lengyu understood and knew there was no need to say anything more to him.

She turned to Chu Wenchen and said, "With the Heavenly King as witness and the people as observers, deceit and trickery have nowhere to hide, and falsehoods cannot stand in this situation. Chu Wenchen, let me ask you, do you admit that you hired thieves to raid my residence at night with malicious intent?"

Chu Wenchen had regained some composure from his panic. He wanted to deny it, but what came out of his mouth was, "I admit it."

He quickly covered his mouth.

"Where did you hide my invitation to the snow-viewing party?" she asked again.

Chu Wenchen was horrified to discover that he had absolutely no control over his body.

He lowered his hand, opened his mouth with a trembling voice, his expression terrified, but said in a very cold tone, "I tore it up."
