Shortly after, Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear arrived at Wanling City.

After many years, Sun Wukong barely recognized them.

"Thousand-mile Eye, Sharp-Hearing Ear."

He looked at the two standing in the palace, surprisedly asking, "How did you two end up looking like this?"

The appearance of an Immortal remains unchanged for thousands of years, and back in the day, Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear also possessed an Immortal's grace.

But now, both of them wore ragged clothes, covered in dust, hardly resembling their former spirited selves.

"Great Saint, ah, don't even mention it."

Thousand-mile Eye, recalling the past ten years, almost burst into tears.

He sighed, saying, "To prevent us from escaping, Your Majesty specifically stationed Sweeping Star close to us, living and eating with us every day, for years without change, sometimes even choking us while drinking tea."

"Sweeping Star?"

Sun Wukong looked puzzled, as he seemed unfamiliar with this Immortal.

"That Sweeping Star's mana knows no bounds, bringing misfortune to anyone near."

Sharp-Hearing Ear continued.

The two almost had "cursed spirit possessed" written on their faces.

Sun Wukong couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he understood the Jade Emperor's actions; although Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear may not be powerful Immortals, their Divine Skills were convenient for spying and surveillance, and naturally, they couldn't be easily let go.

"When you left the Heavenly Palace, did the Jade Emperor say anything?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"His Majesty has already set up the Spiritual Network in Eastern Continent, and with our current mana, we cannot see through it."

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear answered.

Sun Wukong understood. Hence, it didn't matter much to the Jade Emperor now that he had let them go.

He then inquired about matters in Eastern Continent, of which Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear knew little, but shared what they knew.

The Heavenly Ladder established by the Jade Emperor's decree was indeed meant to teach Immortal Dao to mortals.

What's more, the Heavenly Ladder had the function of selecting Spirit Roots and transforming mortal aptitude.

"That Heavenly Ladder is extraordinary; it evolves from the Tao, which the Jade Emperor named Spiritual Path."

Both said.

Sun Wukong nodded.

After finding out, he had Quiet Officer take them down and settle them first.

"Your health is poor, you should first stay with Lord to recuperate and restore your mana."

Sun Wukong said.

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear followed Quiet Officer to the valley where Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad resided.

As they entered the valley, they saw the Star Official playing hide and seek with seven children.

The children's laughter was crisp and pleasant, adding a lively air to the serene valley.

"Star Official, how come you're here?"

Upon seeing an old friend, Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear immediately came forward to greet him.

"I've moved here with the Jade Maiden several years ago,"

the Star Official said with a smile.

Quiet Officer explained their situation to the Star Official, then bowed and left to report back.

The Star Official called the children over and introduced them, "This is Uncle Thousand-mile Eye, and that over there is Uncle Sharp-Hearing Ear."

"Hello, Uncle."

The children came forward to greet them.

Although they were born just a few years ago, as children of two Immortals, they matured earlier than mortals.

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear were astonished.

"Are these all your children?"

Incredulously they said, "We haven't seen you for just a few years, and you already have so many children?"

"Great Saint encourages procreation, if you like, you can also marry."

The Star Official let the children resume their play, feeling quite puzzled.

Usually, Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear were well aware of world affairs, but now they seemed to be out of the loop.

He asked a few times and found out that the two had often been confined in recent years, unable to use their Divine Skills.

The Star Official couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear were more concerned about another matter.

"Star Official!"

The two asked, "We wonder if Sister Daji has gotten married yet?"

"That hasn't happened."

Star Official replied.

Both of them heaved a sigh of relief and cheered up again.

"Do you like Miss Daji?"

Kui Wood Star Official shook his head: "I don't mean to discourage you, but there are too many suitors after her."

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear immediately said, "Sister Daji will not fancy ordinary people."

They were very confident about this.

"But she won't fancy you either."

Kui Wood Star Official's words were heart-piercing.

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear fell silent. Daji had looked down on them before, and now that they had fallen on hard times, it was certain that she would look down even more.

The playful noise of children came intermittently from nearby.

They were carefree and cheery, chasing each other and playing on the grass.

"Kui Wood Star Official."

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear looked at those children with some envy.

"Do you know any way to win sister Daji's favor?"

"Well... there is actually an opportunity recently."

Kui Wood Star Official pondered for a moment before speaking.

Both of them brightened up immediately upon hearing this.

Seeing that, Kui Wood Star Official explained, "In a few days, Sound Symbol Store will release new sound symbols. You could buy one and give it to Miss Daji; she would surely like it."

"What is a sound symbol?"

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear were puzzled.

"A type of spiritual object used for communication."

Kui Wood Star Official explained about the sound symbols in Wanling City.

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear were thrilled, being able to talk to sister Daji was exactly what they wanted.

But Kui Wood Star Official reminded them, "The new model sound symbols will definitely be expensive. You'd better prepare more money."

Upon hearing this, both their faces fell and they became despondent.

"What's wrong?"

Kui Wood Star Official asked curiously.

"We have no money..."

"Not a penny."

The two said dejectedly, "The Sweeping Star has brought us continuous bad luck, and we have nothing of value left."

They looked pitifully at Kui Wood Star Monarch, "Could you lend us some money?"

"I am helpless."

Kui Wood Star Official said with shame, the sound symbols were not cheap.

"What should we do..."

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear were visibly worried.

"You should find a job first and earn some money."

Kui Wood Star Official, seeing their wretched state, couldn't help but suggest.

"We're new here and don't know what we can do."

Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear were quite distressed, "What should we do?"

"I can help you!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind them.

Kui Wood Star Official looked back and hurriedly bowed, "Miss Ao Luan, are you here to ask for love pills again?"

Ao Luan walked over, blushing a bit as she heard Kui Wood Star Official's words.

She had come to find Lord Lao Zi today and accidentally overheard their conversation.

"Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear, if you want to buy a sound symbol, I can help you find a job."

She said.

She had no other merits but loved helping people.

Especially those pursuing Daji.

To Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear, Ao Luan's voice was beautifully heavenly.

Daji's sister's voice ranked first, hers ranked second.

"Thank you so much, Fairy."

The two bowed in gratitude.

The next day, Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear started waiting tables at the Bull Demon King's store.
