"We entered the Thousand Peak Forest to seek my mother's relic."
"Therefore, we were chased by the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, barely escaping with our lives. We joined the army of Liangzhu Country and sched for a long while. We even posed as the Old Monster in Stone, taking risks on the battlefield."
"Now, we have finally co to this point."
"Du Tiechuan and the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King fought fiercely, both sustaining injuries. They are wary of the Divinity Transformation level Old Monster in Stone as a third party and cannot fully exert themselves."
"Currently, we are in a stalemate. Various armies and powerful individuals at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core levels are entering the fray, contending against each other."
"This is the perfect opportunity for us to deal with the Six Cave Sect."
"We can not only avenge our family's vendetta, but also retrieve my mother's relic. After all the effort we've put in, we finally see hope."
"Can I not be happy?"
Sun Lingtong humd in agreent: "Indeed."
Ning Zhuo's eyes sparkled brightly, suddenly saying: "At this mont, I feel very happy!"
Sun Lingtong: "Hm?"
Ning Zhuo earnestly said: "I do not envy Liu Guanzhang's brotherhood at all. Because I have you, boss."
"I can travel across the land, together with you, boss. Experiencing adventures alongside you always makes feel secure."
"This way of life is indeed far more interesting than staying in Fire Persimmon Immortal City."
"I get to et all kinds of people while continuously nearing my goals. Growing stronger together with you, boss, striving together, and achieving new accomplishnts every so often."
"These days are truly wonderful! Boss, thank you!!"
Sun Lingtong found himself taken aback by Ning Zhuo's words.
His eyes slightly reddened, nose tinged with emotion, as he gritted his teeth and said: "Little Zhuo, you rascal…"
Sun Lingtong took a deep breath and laughed heartily: "You cheeky lad, don't be so easily satisfied."
"I'm waiting for you to save your mother, and then we'll seek out mysteries together, becoming great thieves across the land!"
Ning Zhuo humd, nodding heavily: "I'll go with you, boss!"
Sun Lingtong laughed heartily with his hands on his hips.
At that mont, a soldier reported and brought a letter.
The letter was specifically for Ning Zhuo from Shuangjing.
In the letter, Shuangjing invited Ning Zhuo to et outside the camp.
Sun Lingtong: "This Shuangjing must have noticed Liu Er has been dominating the top rank recently, and thus ca to find you, Little Zhuo."
"This guy has sched against you multiple tis. His aunt has also sabotaged us in Canglin Immortal City."
"This is a great chance; we can properly ss with him."
Ning Zhuo calmly shook his head: "There's no need for this."
"It's too much of a waste of ti."
"I wish I could split myself into two right now. There's too much to do."
"Playing with him, even humiliating him, generates no value. What's the point?"
Sun Lingtong glared: "This is your chance to shine. Just thinking about making that arrogant guy eat dirt, bowing to you, feels great."
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "It's just a battle of pride."
He was different in nature from Sun Lingtong.
Ning Zhuo had spent over a decade in a state of restraint. He was already used to it and accepted it as normal.
This life experience made Ning Zhuo very composed, with maturity far beyond his age.
Sun Lingtong pouted: "Little Zhuo, you're no fun at all. Living should be more indulgent and joyful, or what's the point?"
"Besides, I don't rely want to have fun. If you don't face Shuangjing and play along, how can we stall for ti?"
"Refusing Shuangjing outright, this guy will surely harbor ill intentions and won't let it go."
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, boss, I have it all planned."
White Jade Camp.
"Hmph!" Shuangjing slapped the table angrily and stood up.
He glared in the direction of the Three Generals Camp: "Not even worthy of a reply? Ning Zhuo is so arrogant, fine, very well!"
"Then don't bla for taking action."
Shuangjing promptly left the White Jade Camp and visited the quartermaster.
He bore the royal surna and had a distinguished status, quickly being led into the study for a private conversation with the quartermaster.
Shuangjing exaggerated the details, informing the quartermaster.
The quartermaster appeared enlightened: "I see. I wondered how Liu Er, a re Golden Core cultivator, could dominate the top rank for so many days; it turns out there's such a secret."
Shuangjing imdiately advised: "Liu Er is just a half-blood human demon, with a narrow vision. Such an effective weapon should be handed over to the army for widespread use. This would greatly reduce the ti our army spends scavenging the battlefield and benefit the broader situation."
"Now, it appears Liu Er is acting solely for personal gain, putting our Liangzhu Country behind him. If such ntality and behavior are not corrected, leading others to follow suit, it would ruin the good morale within the army, which would be very unfortunate."
Shuangjing displayed a posture of concern for the country and its people.
The quartermaster looked at him curiously, thinking: Liu Er is an outsider, newly recruited; forming a new army is already comndable. Asking him to sacrifice personal gains for the country is really demanding too much.
Also, he thought: My main army troops are resting. Scavenging the battlefield is a perfect opportunity for the officers. Even if the ti is reduced, the army won't be mobilized, so what's the point?
Though Shuangjing lacked extensive command experience, it was evident he was speaking nonsense, surely with another agenda.
The quartermaster then squinted his eyes: "I wonder what instruction Lord Shuangjing has for ?"
Shuangjing imdiately cupped his hands: "How dare I call it 'instruction'? I seek your help, asking you to take action, to rectify these bad tendencies for our army, for our Liangzhu Country!"
