Marshal Canopy sat among the Immortal Gods, head bowed as he drank his sorrows away, his mind wandering to unknown thoughts.
This gathering at the Peaches of Immortality was a successful one, a meeting that fostered unity among the Immortal Gods. Amidst the laughter and jovial songs, the Heavenly Court swept away the gloom cast by the Monkey's havoc, as if everything had returned to the way it used to be.
With a drunken sway, Marshal Canopy staggered out of the Jade Pool, and an Angel by his side quickly offered support, asking with concern, "Marshal, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, the royal wine is just a bit strong this time. By the way, are you new to the Heavenly Court? You seem unfamiliar," Marshal Canopy murmured hazily, eyeing the Angel before him with puzzlement.
"I have only recently ascended to the Heavenly Court, so it is only natural that the Marshal hasn't seen me before," the Angel replied with neither arrogance nor servility.
