Four hours later.

The Ten-Direction Ship finally left the Heavens beyond Heaven and headed in the direction of the country of Chong Zhen.

“Hey!” Lonemoon nudged the lump of mud who was curled up on the chair, munching on fruits. “What happened to you this time? You didn’t seem like you at all – you forgave Chen Ge and his disciple so easily.” Was she usually so magnanimous toward people who agitated her?

“Why shouldn’t I forgive them?” Shen Ying looked at him suspiciously. “What did he do wrong?”

“Does that need saying…” He looked at her as if her Alzheimer’s was acting up again.

“What did he do?”

“He…” Lonemoon suddenly stopped himself mid-sentence to think. It seemed like Chen Ge really did not do anything wrong. Instead, he was beaten up by both Lonemoon and Yi Qing for no reason. “Hui Ling… That little brat… I thought you couldn’t stand her?”

“Who says I can’t stand her?”

“You must be kidding me!” Lonemoon scanned her from head to toe. Why did this saint-like character of hers only appearing now? “Did you forget what she said to you back at the main hall? She was obviously mistaken about your identity and jealous that you were the only emperor who was a female – that was why she tried to challenge you. She even tried to intimidate you in the name of being a disciple of the Celestial Emperor.”

“I haven’t forgotten that!” Shen Ying still looked lazy. She picked up a cup of green tea and sipped it.

“And during the competition, she cheated in front of everyone. if she had not depended on the person inside the necklace,

“Oh… and?”

“And then?!” Lonemoon’s eyes widened. “There are already two matters and you’re not in the least bit angry!”

“I am.”

“Then you…” Lonemoon was really confused now.

Shen Ying raised her head to look at him, and then looked around at the other disciples. Suddenly, she set down the fruit that she was munching on and sighed deeply. How troublesome!

“Father Niu, exactly what kind of person am I in your eyes?” She lowered her voice and sounded extremely serious.

“Huh?” Lonemoon paused, wondering why Shen Ying was asking him this.

“That little Green Tea girl did offend me, but I’ve already paid her back for it. She did cheat, but she was already exposed and she already apologised to Salted Fish. She also tried to make amends. She has been punished enough., is that not right?”

“But…”

“What do you want me to do? Smash her head?”

“…”

“Apart from these two matters, she has not done anything to harm anyone else right? If someone must be put to death just because she cheated in a competition and said some mean things to someone else, would that not be too scary?” Shen Ying was extremely stern. “I don’t like her, and I think she’s annoying and hypocritical, but I can’t kill her just because I don’t like her, right?”

“…”

“In your eyes, am I such a… murderer who does not care for what the victim thinks? Someone who cannot accept an opposing view?”

“…”

“Everyone has the right to find other people annoying, but they cannot use their own morals to judge others,” Shen Ying continued. “Take Salted Fish for example – I know that you hated him from the beginning because of the novel. But in actual fact, did he do anything wrong? As a Celestial Emperor, he tried his best to protect the various emperors under him. As a master, he tried his best to protect his student but also did his best to correct the situation the moment he realised something was wrong. He even personally punished his disciple. As someone we used to know, he invited us to join the Mystic Spirits and Immortals Meeting just to scare the various emperors into putting down their hatred. Should we choose to blind ourselves to all of these facts just because he’s the male lead in the novel? Should we insist that he has ulterior motives to everything he does?
