Yang Jian clasped his hands and stood aside.
Great Emperor Ziwei said to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, Huaguo Mountain is no longer safe for you now. Why not come and live in the Heavenly Court? In the mansion of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, we can look out for each other."
Clearly, Great Emperor Ziwei was worried that the Earth Demon God might make a move against Sun Wukong.
Living in the Heavenly Realm, if anything were to happen, they would all be able to sense it immediately and take action.
Even if the Earth Demon God was audacious, the lesson he learned today would be enough to keep him from acting rashly again.
However, Sun Wukong shook his head. He glanced at Great Emperor Ziwei and said, "If I go to the Heavenly Court, wouldn't it seem as if Old Sun is afraid of him? A mere Earth Demon God doesn't have that standing."
Seeing Sun Wukong's refusal, Great Emperor Ziwei did not insist.
He and Sun Wukong had a relationship not of subordination, but of friendship.
