By the lake, the Princess was wiping the wounds of the young boy.
"How can a Fairy be so cruel."
She wrung the towel, tenderly caressing the boy's battered body: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
The boy shook his head, "I can understand sister."
He knew why Ao Luan was angry.
Being misunderstood by someone you like is a very painful thing.
"Are your father and the others alright?"
The boy asked.
The Princess nodded, about to speak about their recent situation when two dazzling lights streaked across the sky.
"Some big figures have arrived."
The boy looked up and said, "I wonder which Immortal it is from."
After the great battle, all Immortals visiting Huaguo Mountain had to land at the port and walk to Shuilian Cave.
But these two lights flew straight towards Shuilian Cave, obviously not ordinary Immortals.
"Most likely it's Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun."
The Princess said.
"How do you know?"
The boy looked at her.
"The Heavenly Emperor summoned them yesterday."
The Princess replied, "After the great battle ended, all the Immortals of the Three Realms came to pay their respects, but Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun did not come, so the Heavenly Emperor had to summon them personally."
The boy frowned slightly, "Don't they accept the Great King in their hearts?"
"Don't worry."
The Princess said, "The Heavenly Emperor will surely handle it well."
"Why?"
"The Heavenly Emperor is best at making friends."
The Princess said.
She had seen many Immortals who were reluctant to come, but after just a few days, they accepted Sun Wukong's appointment cheerfully.
"Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun will definitely like the Heavenly Emperor."
The Princess said.
This statement was overheard by the two visitors who had arrived at Shuilian Cave, and they couldn't help but look stern.
"Is this girl lumping us together with others?"
Yuqing said.
"Stay calm."
Shangqing said, "Let's see what Sun... the Heavenly Emperor is going to do."
Although they acknowledged Sun Wukong's position, they were still a bit proud and thus had not come until now.
This time, Sun Wukong personally summoned them, giving them a way to step down.
The two of them walked into Shuilian Cave.
"You finally came."
As soon as they stepped into Shuilian Cave, they were greeted by Lord Lao Zi.
Lord Lao Zi and Sun Wukong had been chatting in Shuilian Cave for a long time, waiting for them.
Following Lord Lao Zi into Shuilian Cave, they met Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong spoke, saying, "I've been busy with affairs recently and didn't get a chance to call you earlier, please forgive me."
His words made the two slightly frown, unsure if he was being sarcastic or sincere.
"The Heavenly Emperor worries too much."
Shangqing said, "We have been busy with reforms in the Heavenly Palace and didn't get a chance to visit the Heavenly Emperor."
Sun Wukong nodded, and after some simple pleasantries, he brought up the main topic.
"I want to educate the Four Great Continents, but just the Grandmaster alone is not sufficient."
Sun Wukong said, "I would like to ask the two of you to manage the education alongside the Grandmaster."
Yuqing and Shangqing exchanged glances.
It was normal to struggle with educating the Four Great Continents, as they are vast, and no one in the world has ever truly controlled such vast lands.
Even in the prime of the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor managed only the Immortals of the Three Realms, and could not manage affairs in the Mortal World.
But what Sun Wukong was doing was delving into the Mortal World.
Shangqing glanced at Lord Lao Zi, "Why doesn't the Heavenly Emperor have Lord Lao go?"
"I have other important matters."
Lord Lao Zi answered for Sun Wukong, "The Heavenly Emperor is establishing an Immortal Device Workshop, which I will manage."
"Immortal Device Workshop?"
Upon hearing this name, the two knew it was an organization responsible for inventing and creating Immortal Devices.
Indeed, this task would better utilize Lord Lao Zi's talents than educating all beings.
After a moment of thought, they still declined.
"We manage education, yet we do not have a deep understanding of Wanling Heavenly Dao."
They said to Sun Wukong, "We fear we won't be able to assist the Heavenly Emperor."
"Heavenly Dao can be learned, that's not an issue."
Sun Wukong shook his head, "Don't rush to refuse, please consider it for a few more days."
The task of educating all beings was of utmost importance, and he still hoped that the two would agree.
The two and Lord Lao Zi left Shuilian Cave.
"The Heavenly Emperor asked me to take you to various places in the Mortal World to have a look."
Lord Lao Zi said, "It might change your mind."
The two shook their heads, "We'll go by ourselves."
The barrier between Immortals and mortals had already been broken, and the Jade Emperor also allowed them to observe more in the Mortal World, but they did not wish to see things under control.
"If that's the case, then I shouldn't interfere."
Gold Star Taibai said.
The two nodded to him and transformed into light, leaving Huaguo Mountain.
Half a day later, they arrived at a remote town in the Eastern Continent.
In the town, there was a splendidly built structure reminiscent of the architectural style of Wanling Country.
"Is this… a school?"
Yuqing sensed the presence of scholarly aura from inside, yet there was no sign of human activity.
"How can there be a school in such a remote place?"
Shangqing shook his head and with a wave of his hand, summoned the Earth God from the ground.
"Great Heavenly Venerates gracing us with your presence, I apologize for not greeting you from afar!"
Seeing them, the Earth God immediately knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.
"What is this building?"
Yuqing asked.
"This is a school."
The Earth God replied immediately.
"School?"
The two of Yuqing looked at each other, indeed it was: "Why is there no one here?"
"It hasn't been used yet."
The Earth God replied, "The Four Great Continents are awaiting rejuvenation, and the Heavenly Emperor is currently arranging the education matters of each nation. The area under my jurisdiction is remote and it will take time before Wanling people can be arranged to come here."
Yuqing frowned. "If that is the case, who built this school?"
"It was me."
The Earth God answered, "The Heavenly Emperor instructed to build schools first in each area and ordered all Earth and Mountain Gods to cooperate."
Yuqing and Shangqing sighed, then soared into the sky and looked elsewhere.
They saw countless academies rising swiftly up from the land in the Eastern Continent.
"That Sun Wukong's use of immortals is better than ours."
Yuqing remarked.
Shangqing nodded in agreement.
Sun Wukong utilized the power of the Earth and Mountain Gods, but not only them.
All immortals' positions and duties are being reformed, significantly enhancing their work efficiency, and a new system of immortals is gradually forming.
In terms of management, no one in the world can surpass Sun Wukong.
The two of Yuqing traveled throughout the Eastern Continent.
They saw the numerous merits behind those schools.
Countless merits, within easy reach.
"If we don't take over, others will eagerly want to."
Yuqing said.
Shangqing nodded. "Leaving the teaching to others would ultimately not match up to us."
They had their answer in mind.
"Your Majesty."
The two returned to Shuilian Cave and saluted Sun Wukong, "We would like to take charge of the education."
Immortal Zhenyuan, who was in Shuilian Cave inviting Sun Wukong to Wuzhuang Temple to eat Ginsengfruit, watched this unfold, somewhat stunned.
Sun Wukong helped them up.
"Please rise."
He said, "We have known each other for a long time, yet it seems we have never really talked, have we?"
The two of Yuqing nodded.
"That would be great."
Sun Wukong turned around and asked Immortal Zhenyuan, "Grandmaster, could you spare a few more Ginsengfruit?"
Immortal Zhenyuan felt a pang of pain at this request, but given the prestigious status of the two of Yuqing, he couldn't refuse.
The four of them rode the clouds towards Longevity Mountain.
"Speaking of which."
Along the way, Sun Wukong suddenly said, "I must thank the two Heavenly Venerates."
The two of Yuqing were taken aback.
Immortal Zhenyuan looked at Sun Wukong.
"It's starting."
He thought to himself.
"The immortals of the Heavenly Palace have talents, each with their own uses."
Sun Wukong stated.
The two of Yuqing nodded, their expressions melancholic, "Great Saint's methods far surpass ours."
In Sun Wukong's hands, immortals truly realized their fullest potential.
"Immortals understand reasoning, knowing good from evil."
Sun Wukong continued, "I can entrust tasks to them confidently, yet it's due to both of your educational efforts."
The two of Yuqing were startled and immediately bowed.
"Your Majesty is too kind in your praise."
Though they said so, they were somewhat pleased inside.
What Sun Wukong said was the truth; without their education, immortals couldn't truly be called immortals, and the Three Realms would have fallen into chaos long ago.
"Great Saint, will the immortals be able to cultivate peacefully in the future?"
Shangqing asked.
"The Three Realms have just stabilized, and I am having them put in extra effort for now."
Sun Wukong replied, "Once this period is over, as long as they do not violate the Heavenly Rules, they may freely choose their own paths."
"If that is the case, Heavenly Emperor's merit is boundless."
Shangqing sighed in admiration, completely convinced by Sun Wukong.
Seeing this scene, Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help but shake his head.
It was over; these two were not going back.
Indeed, the two of Yuqing spent several days conversing joyfully with Sun Wukong at Wuzhuang Temple.
Just a few days later, they no longer wanted to leave.
"Dear brother indeed is more appealing than that Daji."
Immortal Zhenyuan thought to himself, it would be a pity not to have Qing Yuanzi write another book about this.
