Lu Ping and Sun Wukong entered the Jade Emperor’s room and met him.

It had to be said that the Jade Emperor’s appearance had completely exceeded Lu Ping’s expectations.

He was extremely handsome.

Even though the three-inch short beard did not conform to Lu Ping’s aesthetic standards, it had to be said that this guy was the most talented person Lu Ping had seen since he was young, and his appearance was the best.

He was neither fat nor thin. He was just right and did not show any signs of gaining weight.

He was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked extremely imposing.

Sun Wukong cupped his hands and smiled. “Greetings, Jade Emperor.”

Lu Ping followed suit and cupped his hands as well.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and smiled. “There’s no need to be so courteous.”

The two of them did not kneel. In fact, under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Court did not have the courtesy to kneel.

It was not that the Jade Emperor did not want them to, but it was that none of the righteous gods were willing to do it.

That was even more so for a Sun Wukong.

There was only one reason to cause one to have the need to kneel, and that was if one committed a heinous crime.

Of course, even after Sun Wukong was captured back then, he did not kneel down to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor glanced at Lu Ping and did not mind.

To him, Lu Ping was just an ordinary mortal. He just did not know why he was involved with Sun Wukong.

“Why did you come to see me?” The Jade Emperor did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

Sun Wukong laughed. “I heard that His Majesty is going to hold a banquet and there are still Peaches of Immortality to eat, so I thought of asking His Majesty for a seat. I have not tasted Peaches of Immortality for many years. I really miss it!”

The Jade Emperor could not help but complain. Sun Wukong was definitely one of the people who ate the most Peaches of Immortality in the Heavenly Court.

Of course, compared to him and the Queen Mother, he was definitely not as good. However, ordinary immortals really did not eat as much as Sun Wukong.

However, after thinking about it, the Jade Emperor laughed, “I was wondering what it was about, so it was just for this small matter. Tomorrow, I indeed plan to hold a banquet to invite all the immortals of the Heavenly Court. Since you have won the battle against Buddha, you can stay and participate in the banquet.”

It was obvious that he had no intention of bringing Lu Ping along.

The reason was very simple. Sun Wukong could still be considered one of the top figures in the Western religions. However, Lu Ping? He was nothing!

This was reality.

Lu Ping was slightly disappointed. At this moment, Sun Wukong spoke again, “Jade Emperor, please grant us both a seat.”

Sun Wukong also knew what the Jade Emperor was thinking, but he did not care.

Since he had brought Lu Ping here, he could not attend the banquet by himself. Lu Ping could just starve.

From a certain point of view, this Sun Wukong was really particular.

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was displeased.

Sun Wukong was still so blind.

However, when he saw that Sun Wukong spoke, the Jade Emperor did not reject him.

He only smiled and said, “To defeat Buddha through battle, I will tell you the truth. There are many immortals in the Heavenly Court, but the lowest cultivation level is at the Heaven Immortal stage, not to mention those with high cultivation levels. This kid in front of me has low cultivation levels. If you attend the banquet together, I’m afraid some of the immortals will be dissatisfied! But for your sake, I’ll let him go. But there is a request. If he goes, he will naturally take the last seat. You have to accompany him.”

With that, Sun Wukong naturally had to accept his favor.

As for arranging for him to take the last seat, he had no complaints.

Sun Wukong immediately agreed. After that, the two of them bade farewell and left the place.

After all, the two of them did not have much to say to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor did not want to say anything to them either.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the banquet the next day.

Lu Ping followed Sun Wukong and arrived at the Jade Lake.

At this time, all the immortals came to participate in the banquet.

Of course, this referred to the true gods.

They were those who had a divine seat. As for those immortals who did not have a divine seat, such as Sun Wukong who had once guarded the Peaches of Immortality Garden, or the ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals, they usually did not have any status to speak of in a banquet like the Heavenly Court.

However, it was these people who the Jade Emperor could kill and seize.

At this moment, even the Jade Emperor could not easily move these gods.

Seeing that everyone was coming and going, they all greeted each other.

Sun Wukong’s face was familiar here, and many people greeted him.

However, their seats were far away from the Jade Emperor.

After they took their seats, Sun Wukong whispered to Lu Ping, “The two of us are just here to freeload. It’s already not bad to be able to get a seat here. That old fellow doesn’t like me nor does he want to hurt his reputation. That’s why he’s deliberately making things difficult for you and putting you far away for us.”

Lu Ping smiled and said, “This place is good too. It’s quiet.”

As he spoke, he saw Fairy Yun Xiao walk past the two of them.

When she saw Lu Ping, Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Lu, why are you here?”

Lu Ping hurriedly stood up to greet him and replied, “I’m just doing Uncle Sun a favor by getting a seat here.”

Yun Xiao sized up Lu Ping and looked at Sun Wukong with a smile in her eyes. She said meaningfully, “There are still benefits from following him.”

How could the changes in Lu Ping’s body be hidden from her?

At this moment, Zhao Gongming also came over. He laughed and said, “Lu is here too. You should have a good taste of the Heavenly Court’s bejeweled nectar later. It’s all good stuff!”

Their greeting to Lu Ping immediately attracted the attention of others.

One had to know that the current situation was different from the past. The original Yun Xiao, although she had a high cultivation, did not have any status. But now, she was bearing the name of Empress Chongxi.

Although the Jade Emperor had many private divine seats, it was the first time he had changed her official position to Emperor.
