"Unlucky?" Jian Yunluo was suddenly confused by Zhang Yun's words. What was Zhang Yun up to? Why was he suddenly talking to her about this?
"Yunluo, Yunluo, isn't that a homonym for 'fallen'? It's unlucky, unlucky." Zhang Yun didn't laugh; instead, he reminded him very seriously.
Are you cursing me?
Jian Yunluo's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed. They furrowed quite noticeably.
She believed she had no grudge against Zhang Yun and even hoped he would become her life partner.
Even if they can't become Daoist partners, they might become friends in the future. Why did he have to go to such lengths, bringing up her name and even implying a curse?
“Miss Yunluo, please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean that.” Zhang Yun explained, “My hometown is a place far away from here. The people in my hometown pay great attention to this in their lives, and they are very particular about seeking good fortune and warding off evil.”
"I've been influenced by my hometown, and I can't change this habit right away. I hope Miss Yunluo will understand."
"Is that really the case?"
After hearing Zhang Yun's explanation, Jian Yunluo's brows relaxed slightly.
"To be honest, Miss Yunluo and I are just strangers who met by chance and have no connection whatsoever. Why would I be so bored as to curse you?"
Zhang Yun smiled casually and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Watching Zhang Yun leave, Jian Yunluo was filled with doubt, unsure whether Zhang Yun had done it on purpose.
In fact, Zhang Yunzhen said that on purpose.

Chapter 193 The Art of Checks and Balances
He never doubted Jian Yunluo's determination to find him a Daoist partner, so the more outstanding Zhang Yun became, the more determined he became.
Therefore, it was still necessary to leave Jian Yunluo with a vague, unpleasant impression beforehand.
Beep beep beep.
Just then, the Journey to the West subgroup of the Multiverse Chat Group suddenly started ringing.
The Jade Emperor tagged him.
Jade Emperor: "Sir, that demon monkey has been born. After learning all sorts of skills at Fangcun Mountain, he is now gathering monsters at Huaguo Mountain to cause trouble. What should we do?"
Zhang Yun raised an eyebrow.
Sun Wukong was born, and had already completed his studies under Patriarch Bodhi and returned home?
So fast?
Zhang Yun couldn't help but ask this question.
After all, it took Sun Wukong eight or nine years to become a disciple.
Upon closer examination, Zhang Yun learned the answer.
In the world of Journey to the West, one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth.
The outer world, which can be considered a higher plane than the human world in Journey to the West, also follows this rule in the flow of time in the human world.
"Wouldn't that save a lot of time?"
Zhang Yun smiled. It seemed that taming the unruly Sun Wukong wouldn't take too long.
"Then, Jade Emperor, what do you plan to do?" Zhang Yun asked in the Journey to the West group.
He asked that question simply because he wanted things to develop as naturally as possible.
Given the Jade Emperor's status and temperament, he should know what to do.
Venus: "Sir, I suggest we keep that monkey under control for now, and make a decision when you have time."
Upon seeing Taibai Jinxing appear, Zhang Yun frowned slightly and asked knowingly, "Jade Emperor, when did this Taibai Jinxing come in? I gave you management authority because I value you and trust you. Do you understand?"
The Jade Emperor said, "Please calm down, sir. I know I was wrong. I thought that you were too busy to report such a trivial matter to me."
"However, if I may be so bold as to add something, Venus's schemes... well... Venus is indeed a talented person, and his presence in the group will surely be of some help to you, sir."
"Alright, this is the last time," Zhang Yun said.
He wasn't actually angry.
However, as the leading figure among multiple forces, it is still necessary to intimidate the Jade Emperor.
Moreover, his words also served as a warning to others.
After all, above the Jade Emperor are the Three Pure Ones.
Jade Emperor: "Yes."
Zhang Yun: "Venus, you tell us."
Venus: "Sir, this is what I'm thinking. Since we're only stalling for time and preventing that monkey demon from causing trouble in the mortal realm, why not summon him to the Heavenly Court and give him an insignificant official position? What do you think, sir?"
Zhang Yun: "You guys figure it out yourselves."
An insignificant official position?
