"Rise."
Nüwa spoke softly:
"Yao Ji, since you are already my disciple, your affairs of being bullied by other Saints, I naturally must intervene."
Although Yao Ji was suppressed here by the Eastern King, she was quick-witted and immediately said:
"Please, Master, uphold justice for your disciple!"
"No rush," Nüwa said, "let's wait until Senior Brother Yuanshi reprimands Zhunti."
"As you command, Master."
Yao Ji rose somewhat dazedly and walked to stand quietly to the side with her head lowered.
The Eastern King bowed and said: "Holy Mother, I will first return to His Majesty's side to lend assistance."
"No need to hurry, Eastern King," Nüwa said gently, "Your retraining period is short, far from reaching your ancient cultivation level. The Saint's pressure over there is too strong, you might find it hard to withstand, and His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor can handle it himself."
"Thank you for your concern, Holy Mother."
