"Senior Brother, why did my mom want to talk to you? What’s going on with the Hundred Demons Sect? Are they planning to blow up the Qinghe Association or attack the Sword Sect?" Junior Sister nudged Zhang Ze with her elbow, slightly hoping for chaos.
"It’s nothing major, and it doesn’t have much to do with either. I’m just going to eavesdrop." Zhang Ze was holding a Heavenly Illusion Pendant, carefully adjusting its special effects, his answer a bit absent-minded.
"Not a big deal? Then what is it? Quick, tell !" Chen Qin shook Zhang Ze’s arm.
"It’s a secret; our mom said this matter must be kept secret from you." Zhang Ze snapped the clasp on the Heavenly Illusion Pendant.
"Why?" Chen Qin was puzzled.
Almost simultaneously, with a loud bang, the Heavenly Illusion Pendant in Zhang Ze’s hand lit up with a beam of purple light, but it only flashed briefly before extinguishing with a beep.
"’Why’ is a sensitive word; the penalty is you have to drink." Zhang Ze slipped an orange into Chen Qin’s hand, trying to muddle through the situation.
However, it was aningless.
"I’m your biological sibling, so why tell only you and not ? Co on, spill it, spill it."
Under Chen Qin’s relentless questioning, Zhang Ze was ntally exhausted.
"Precisely because you’re the biological one, which is why we’re not telling you. Once you know, you’ll definitely want to join the fuss."
"Good Senior Brother, please tell . Tell , and tonight I’ll..." Chen Qin whispered softly into Zhang Ze’s ear.
Zhang Ze, "..."
Being a gentleman, Zhang Ze was always loyal and dependable. Unless the enemy was too cunning, he would never disclose secrets.
Zhang Ze picked up an orange, peeled off the outer skin, and held it in front of Junior Sister.
"This..."
"Ah ooh."
Before Zhang Ze could finish speaking, the orange was devoured by Chen Qin.
Seeing Chen Qin, with her cheeks puffed out and an innocent look, Zhang Ze sighed.
"It wasn’t ant for you to eat, never mind, I’ll peel another one."
After peeling another orange, Zhang Ze pointed at it and said, "This orange represents the Four Continents."
"Got it, and then?" Junior Sister nodded.
Zhang Ze gathered so spiritual qi at his fingertips, and under its guidance, the white strands of pith covering the orange segnts were drawn out by him.
Placing the smooth orange before Chen Qin, Zhang Ze said, "Our mom and them are doing this. If it succeeds, the Four Continents will be much cleaner in the future."
"The pith is the Hundred Demons Sect? I want to go!" Realizing this, Chen Qin promptly got up, wanting to join the excitent, but was pulled back by Zhang Ze.
"Co back, if you go to our mom, you’ll sell out directly." Zhang Ze was sowhat helpless.
With these words, Chen Qin returned to her seat, sulking while peeling an orange, imitating Zhang Ze by extracting the pith bit by bit.
"Why did you tell about such a big matter? Now that I know, this Qinghe Association feels so boring..."
"That’s why I said not to tell you, but you insisted on asking."
"Why can’t your resolve be stronger? Why does the man I fancy have such a loose mouth!"
"There’s no helping it, especially when the enemy is so cunning, presenting conditions I can’t refuse."
While the two were bantering, a knock ca from outside the door.
"Co in," they both said simultaneously.
Li Yueqi entered, seeing Zhang Ze right there, joked, "Oh, the Sword Sect’s Sadist King isn’t busy today."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qin burst into laughter, while Zhang Ze only felt a headache.
This title of Sadist King originated from today’s spar, where Zhang Ze used a small branch not only to clear Xu Lin’s mind but apparently also opened his Ren and Du ridians.
Xu Lin felt as if his bottleneck was loosening.
Thus, adhering to the principle of shaless persistence, an enlightened Xu Lin, after being checked by Fuji, sought Zhang Ze again, begging him to hit him a few more tis.
This kind of request was rather unusual.
However, Zhang Ze didn’t think much of it, viewing it as rely a lift of the finger.
So he went with Xu Lin to a secluded place, took out the small branch, and then thwacked Xu Lin a few tis.
And this scene was sneakily captured by a paparazzo, and soon enough, the Sword Sect’s Sadist King title was spreading far and wide.
Whether Xu Lin could break through, Zhang Ze didn’t know. At any rate, he felt his reputation was thoroughly tarnished.
Li Yueqi, not waiting for Zhang Ze’s rebuttal, grabbed a chair, sat down, and placed a sealed jade scroll in front of Zhang Ze.
"Got sothing for you."
Just a day later, she had adjusted back.
At least it seed so.
"What’s this? The thod to beco a Divine Dragon Hero?" Zhang Ze fiddled with the scroll, tugged at it without opening.
"Heh, of course not. This is the Beast Taming Sect’s recorded Spirit Fusion Technique scroll. Though I don’t know how you learned it, Grandpa still wants to give this to you."
After handing the scroll to Zhang Ze, Li Yueqi looked for sothing to eat but found only oranges on the table, losing her appetite.
For so reason, there were oranges everywhere at this Qinghe Association.
The oranges seed to have beco the sole designated fruit for this association, and Li Yueqi was sick of them.
"I’m really sorry, I..." Zhang Ze pretended to decline.
"Oh, and Grandpa said, if you don’t want it, forget it. We won’t force you." With that, Li Yueqi reached out to take the scroll back.
"I was joking, can’t reject the Sect Leader’s good will, only how do I open this thing?" Zhang Ze tugged again but still couldn’t open it.
"It can only be opened after the Qinghe Association finishes," Li Yueqi said.
Hearing that it couldn’t yet be opened, Zhang Ze temporarily lost interest in the scroll, casually handing it to Chen Qin.
