A cat that lingers beside a saint

The palaces of the Heavenly Court appear numerous and complex in their distribution.

But in reality, it is also distributed in the numbers of thirty-six and seventy-two.

At this moment, the place that Su Bai was fleeing to was the Jade Emperor's sleeping quarters.

However, its interior is in no way inferior to that of the Lingxiao Palace.

Upon entering the palace, they found no one there.

After entering the palace, Su Bai first found a place to hide.

However, after hiding for a while and not seeing anyone follow, Su Bai finally felt relieved.

Coming to his senses, he looked around the palace.

There was a unique fragrance in the hall that brought a sense of peace and tranquility. If you smelled it for a while, you might even feel a urge to fall asleep.

Inside the main hall was a couch, which was simply furnished.

On the outside was a desk document.

Various folding paper items were laid out on the table.

Su Bai was curious. Although he didn't know who owned the palace, looking at the memorials on the desk, he figured the owner must be a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court.

Thinking about it, Su Bai jumped onto the table.

To be honest, he was quite curious too.

The sheer number of official documents piled up here suggests that this high-ranking official is not a benevolent deity.

Otherwise, how could so many memorials have accumulated?

Su Bai approached a book of folded books, raised its paw, and opened one of them.

"In the southern continent of Zhanzhou, there is a county magistrate who, like his ancestors, hoards rice and flour. The people are suffering terribly from a severe drought. Will it rain?"

Su Bai frowned slightly as he looked at the folding paper in front of him.

As a cat, he didn't have many thoughts.

Su Bai didn't pay much attention to the other content, but the words "severe drought" left a deep impression on him.

According to his idea, the Heavenly Court exists for the sake of all living beings in the Three Realms.

At the same time, it is also for the sake of good weather and abundant harvests in the Three Realms. Now that this county is experiencing a severe drought, it should naturally receive rain.

Thinking of this, Su Bai raised its paw, dipped it in ink, and then used its paw to write a word crookedly on the folding paper.

"allow."

Looking at his work, Su Bai couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

To his surprise, the character began to disappear on its own before the ink had even dried.

The scene before him made Su Bai's heart leap into his throat.

He instinctively lowered his body and looked around.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there was no one else in the palace.

Immediately afterwards, Su Bai continued to write the character "准" on the folded paper.

But several times in a row, the words he wrote would disappear automatically.

After wondering for a while, Su Bai's eyes darted around, and then he added a "not" before the word "accept".

This time, the words didn't disappear; instead, they became clearer and clearer.

As soon as the folded paper was finished, it vanished from Su Bai's sight in an instant.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Bai was immediately horrified and, without saying a word, ran towards the palace gate.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor was discussing with everyone what had happened in the East Sea.

Before he could finish speaking, a memorial suddenly appeared in his hand.

He raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the memorial in his hand.

Upon seeing the inside of the folded book covered with cat paw prints, the Jade Emperor's veins bulged.

But after a moment, he chuckled softly and shook his head slightly.

Seemingly remembering something, the Jade Emperor put down the memorial in his hand and turned to look at Laozi.

"Laojun, I heard the other day that your Tushita Palace was robbed again?"

Lao Jun was taken aback. He stroked his beard, shook his whisk, and after a moment, sighed and shook his head, saying, "I don't know who that thief is, but he has extraordinary abilities. Although he didn't smash my furnace, he did tear off my roof. At the time of the incident, I was visiting a friend outside and couldn't find the thief."

The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Laozi for a long time.

"How many of those elixirs were stolen?"

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor's question, Laozi couldn't help but sigh deeply.

After a long pause, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but that thief was much more merciful than the monkey who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then. Although some of the elixir was lost, it wasn't too much."

"At least, the old Taoist's furnace is still here."

Looking at His Highness Laozi, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

That old man is quite the actor.

It's one thing if others don't know, but it's truly strange that he didn't know either.

However, judging from his expression, he clearly didn't intend to tell the truth.

When Laozi uttered these words, the Jade Emperor clearly noticed that several people in the hall looked rather strange.

So these guys all know who did it, and they all think that I, the ruler of the Three Realms, know nothing.

Keep pretending, go ahead and keep pretending.

Without making a sound, the Jade Emperor picked up a cat hair from the memorial and then gently tossed the memorial aside.

……

After leaving the main hall, Su Bai ran towards the entrance of the scroll once again.

Su Bai frowned slightly, hid around the corner, and took several steps back, almost getting out of the other party's sight.

The old woman suddenly turned her head and looked in his direction.

Immediately afterwards, she waved to Su Bai, and the next second Su Bai's body flew uncontrollably toward the old woman.

Once again, the old woman grabbed Su Bai in her hand and chuckled, saying, "You little kitten, you've overturned Laozi's Tushita Palace and even went to the Jade Emperor's bedroom to cause trouble."

"Do you really think that no one in Heaven can subdue you?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Su Bai was suddenly startled.

Logically speaking, what he did should have been unknown to anyone.

The old woman clearly saw through Su Bai's thoughts. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she raised her hand to gently tap Su Bai's head.

"If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place. There are countless people in the Heavenly Court with profound skills. How could you, a mere kitten, possibly hide it from them?"

As she spoke, the old woman inadvertently ran her fingertips lightly across the small sword on Su Bai's neck.

The old woman's eyes glazed over slightly when her fingertips touched her, but she quickly regained her senses.

How old is the kitten?

As they spoke, Su Bai realized that the scene around him had changed.

At this moment, they were no longer in the Heavenly Court.

The old woman stopped as the surrounding clouds moved rapidly until they reached the gate of a temple.

The old woman was quite considerate; she kept Su Bai in her arms the whole way.

He stepped into the temple, found a place to sit down, and then began to carefully examine Su Bai in his arms.

Why isn't the kitten talking?

Su Bai stared at her for a long time, then turned his head to look at the statue in the main hall.

The moment he entered, he noticed the plaque above the temple's entrance.

Its name is Laomu Temple.
