On Flower Fruit Mountain, the flag of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven fluttered in the wind.

In the Water Curtain Cave, the stone table in front of Sun Wukong was filled with peaches.

Each peach was split open, blood staining the entire stone table.

"Senior brother, there's no need to hide when you arrive, I know you're here," Sun Wukong, who had been silently staring at the peaches, suddenly spoke, revealing my whereabouts.

I emerged from invisibility.

"Sure enough, you can't hide from me when you get close,"

"Senior brother intentionally let me know," Sun Wukong looked at me, "Senior brother wants to stop me from going to the Heavenly Court?"

Looking at the peaches on the stone table, I said to Sun Wukong, "It's too dangerous."

"Does senior brother know what I'm thinking?" Sun Wukong raised his eyes. The blood peaches on the table burst into golden flames, turning into ashes.

"Master foresaw that you would face a calamity," I sat down across from the stone table, saying, "I must ensure your safety through this calamity. The situation in the Heavenly Court is unclear and unpredictable. Seven Fairies died inexplicably in the peach garden you guard. If you go to the Heavenly Court again, it's too dangerous."

"Does senior brother know what I want to do?" Sun Wukong looked at me.

"I don't know," I shook my head, "But I know you are destined to face a calamity in the Heavenly Court. The farther you are from it, the safer you'll be. Listen to senior brother and stay away from the Heavenly Court. Senior brother will investigate the matters of the Heavenly Court."

Sun Wukong shook his head, "Senior brother has always been on Mount Kunlun and has little understanding of the mortal world. Even if you see the countless mortal bones in the peach garden, you may not have much emotion. But I'm different."

"I left the Eastern Continent, crossed the vast ocean to the west, traveled along the Great Wall, visited small counties, explored famous mountains, seeking the chance for immortality. It took me more than ten years to reach Mount Kunlun. During these more than ten years, as someone without magical powers, I lived a very difficult life in the mortal world. I was able to persevere until Mount Kunlun thanks to the help of many mortals."

"And now, the bones of those mortals lie beneath the peach garden, buried in the soil of the Heavenly Palace medicine garden. Their blood has become the nourishment for the Queen Mother's peaches, the fertilizer for the Supreme Old Lord's medicinal herbs, and the feed for the parrots in front of the Jade Emperor's palace."

Sun Wukong's eyes reddened, "I thought I could live freely as a god in the Heavenly Court. I didn't expect the Heavenly Court to be like this. I must seek justice for those mortals from the Heavenly Court."

I didn't expect Sun Wukong to say so much at once. Not only did he know about the issues in the peach garden, but he also knew about the parrots of the Jade Emperor and the problems in the Supreme Old Lord's medicine garden.

It seems he has long known about the abnormality in the Heavenly Court, and during his time as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he has been investigating.

"Senior brother, there's no need to persuade me," Sun Wukong said, "I'm prepared to return to Flower Fruit Mountain."

Golden armor slowly appeared on Sun Wukong's body, and he tightly gripped the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his right hand.

"Senior brother, the Queen Mother's Yaochi Banquet is about to begin."

Sun Wukong rushed out of the Water Curtain Cave and flew towards the Nine Heavens. His voice echoed from afar: "I'll go to that Yaochi Banquet and have a word with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother for those unjustly deceased mortals."
