The Queen Mother was taken aback with fright.
Look down on Hao Tian or not,
but Hao Tian's claim really did persuade her.
It's true, with Taishang Laojun's status, to say that He is involved in smuggling and corruption is an insult to intelligence. However, to say Taishang Laojun is completely oblivious to all this is also an insult to intelligence.
Who knows if He is acquiescing to it?
If the Heavenly Court collapses and order descends into chaos, it's the Cultivation Path Ancestor who will have the headache, not Taishang.
Why not do something that causes trouble for your opponent?
"To know if it is Taishang Laojun's silent consent, just see if that Rude Monkey can enter the Tushita Palace. If he can, then it definitely means Lord Lao's agreement. Without Lord Lao's consent, even you and I wouldn't be able to step foot into Tushita Palace," Hao Tian said somberly.
The Queen Mother nodded, "Makes sense. I'll send someone to check it out."
