Soon, the two maids received their reply.
”Great Sage, this way, please.”
Wu Yu was currently the most popular person in the entire Heavenly Court, even though the two maids were rather baffled over why he had come to find Lady Wang.
However, the two maidservants were very curious about Wu Yu, and they constantly sized him up.
One of the maidservants led the way, and Wu Yu followed her into Yaochi Palace.
Within the Jade Lake Palace, there were flowers and flowing water everywhere. The scenery was extremely beautiful, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.
Wu Yu followed the maid and quickly entered the hall.
When he entered the hall, the servant turned and left.
In the main hall of the Yao Chi Palace, the Queen Mother sat at the side, drinking some fragrant tea. When she saw Wu Yu, she smiled and said, ”Great Sage Qi Tian, please take a seat first.”
”Junior would not dare.”
Wu Yu was here to confess his guilt, so he didn't dare to carelessly sit down. He bluntly said, ”This junior has caused a disaster. I hope that esteemed wangfei can forgive me!”
”Oh?”
The Queen Mother seemed rather interested as she smiled faintly. ”Great Sage, just say it directly.”
”This …”
Even though Wu Yu found it difficult to explain, he could only say, ”I'm sorry, my lady. There was a problem while I was training in the Immortality Peach Garden.” This made me lose control. I ate twenty-seven Peach of Immortality. ”
He had originally thought that when he said these words, the Empress would definitely fly into a rage, and her expression would become ugly no matter how bad it was.
But he very quickly discovered that the Empress actually did not seem surprised at all. He only casually waved his hand and said, ”This is understandable, but it can't all be your fault.”
Wu Yu was a bit surprised to see her like this.
He had originally thought that this was a great sin, but now it seemed that Empress Dowager Wang was very tolerant of him.
Moreover, it seemed like she wasn't surprised at all by the way he ate her Immortality Peach. Could it be that she had already expected this to happen?
This made Wu Yu feel a bit incredulous.
When he entered the Immortality Peach Garden, even he himself believed that he wouldn't steal anything. If it wasn't for the fact that the Heaven Swallowing Emperor Realm almost crumbled and he was controlled by the Heaven Swallowing Beast's instinct, he wouldn't have stolen a single Peach of Immortality.
Or could it be that the Queen Mother even predicted that he would lose control?
This made Wu Yu feel a bit scared.
Just then, a clear yet cold voice came from the entrance of the hall, ”Training lost control? What a good excuse, he could steal the Peach of Immortality just because he lost control of his cultivation? I want to see what kind of excuse you'll use to lie the next time you steal food! ”
This voice belonged to Nangong Wei, whom he had seen not long ago in Yaochi.
Wu Yu turned around and saw that Nangong Wei was already dressed in a red dress. She stood at the entrance of the hall with a cold expression on her face.
”It's fine.”
Lady Wang maintained her smile and said to Wu Yu, ”Great Sage, you can leave first. Remember not to offend him again.”
”Yes, Junior will definitely not do it again.”
Wu Yu respectfully replied.
Following that, the Queen Mother let him go. He could not stay here any longer.
Moreover, he had originally come to seek out Empress Wang to apologize to her. Since she had already forgiven him, this crisis could be considered barely over.
”I wonder if there are any side effects …”
He had always felt that it was rather strange that the Queen Mother would let him off so easily.
After all, before he went to guard the Immortality Peach Garden, he had heard from everyone that stealing the Immortality Peach was a great crime and would not be forgiven so easily.
This formed a contrast with him.
”Besides, I don't even believe my own words when I say that something went wrong with my cultivation...” How could Wang-mu believe that? Perhaps, she just thinks that it's not that important since she secretly ate twenty-seven Immortality Peach. ”
Wu Yu could only say this to himself.
He had been constantly observing esteemed wangfei's expression, but he had not noticed the slightest change in her expression. If it wasn't for the fact that esteemed wangfei didn't care about this peach, then she had hidden it too deeply.
Of course, he was also glad that Nangong Wei did not tell him that he had 'peeked' her out of Jade Lake. Otherwise, it might be a bit more troublesome …
After he left.
Inside Yaochi Palace, Nangong Wei was somewhat unwilling.
She walked to the Queen Mother's side and hatefully said, ”Master, this person has never had any sort of reputation. He would even go back on his promise to exchange with Daoist Master Tai B. If the Jade Emperor didn't take out a 'Milky Way Pill', I want to see if he has the ability to keep his Primal Divine Artifact! ”
”Why would someone like him be sent to guard a place like the Immortality Peach Garden?”
Nangong Wei couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it.
However, as the Queen Mother smiled, there was no way to tell what she was thinking. She slowly said, ”His temper is a bit wild, so he still needs some practice. Huo Wu, you also need to work hard to catch up to him as soon as possible. ”
