The Heavenly Emperor asked, "My beloved ministers, does anyone recognize this demonic wayfarer?"
The gods in the hall shook their heads, either knowingly keeping silent or genuinely unaware, save for Bai Suixin and Jizhen, whose expressions notably changed as they seemed to want to speak but hesitated.
"You two ministers, speak freely without concern."
The Heavenly Emperor wore a smile, for in the hundreds of years, only Bai Suixin truly had the Heavenly Court in his heart.
Bai Suixin spoke, "To report to Your Majesty, this Taoist is called Qing Lian and is the transformation of an Innate Spiritual Object. Years ago, this humble Daoist captured it for Alchemy, but in an unguarded moment, it escaped."
"Amitabha!"
Jizhen said, "This humble monk kindly accepted Qing Lian as a disciple, never expecting it to be ungrateful. Taking advantage of my absence, it fled."
