As Jiang Liu spoke, expressing willingness to acknowledge guilt, yet with a heart concerned for all living beings under heaven, he requested the Jade Emperor to postpone his punishment until after he successfully completed the Journey to the West for Scriptures. The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement, and so the matter of Jiang Liu being brought to the Heavenly Court due to the murder of Emperor Ziwei was temporarily brought to a close.
Naturally, Jiang Liu wasn't inclined to linger in the Heavenly Court. After bidding farewell to the Jade Emperor and others, he turned to take his leave.
"Holy Monk, may you have a safe journey..." As Jiang Liu turned and left, the deities in Lingxiao Hall all spoke in unison, bidding Jiang Liu farewell with great enthusiasm.
For those unaware, it might truly seem as if Jiang Liu had come to the Heavenly Court as an honored guest.
