Zhang Ze listened to what his master said, checked the ti, and found that the change in his form of address happened just when he was reading the diary.
He recalled the contents of the diary and muttered the na of this Baiyu County, forming so guesses.
He said to his master.
"Do you think the secret hidden in the Jade Book Illusion Realm by the last emperor of Dongqi might be related to that first Emperor?
"Do you think this Baiyu County could be the future Imperial Capital Baiyujing of Dongqi?
"And that I am the True Emperor."
The more Zhang Ze spoke, the less coherent he beca.
So before he could finish, Li thumped him on the head.
Li said, "The royal family of Dongqi has the surna Xiao, not Zhang. What are you thinking?"
"This is all trivial; I can change my surna. Arrogance connects Xiao and Zhang, Xiao Zhang are one family, it’s no big deal."
Zhang Ze began to ramble nonsensically.
His thoughts were like a wild horse, out of control.
"Maybe in my past life, I was the Great Emperor of Dongqi, defeated by the river of ti. Now I have returned to reclaim the secret treasure I left behind. Once I ignite the six flas after leaving, I will be able to rekindle the glory of our Human Race. Give fifty Spirit Stones, and I will make you a..."
"Bam."
Zhang Ze was thumped on the head again by Li.
"Calm down, kid. The founding place of the Dongqi Emperor is not in this Baiyu County. Moreover, if you want to be an emperor, changing your surna is not enough, you also need to change your na."
"The founder’s na was Xiao..."
As they spoke, Zhang Ze blinked, and Li imdiately fell silent.
Soon, beside the deserted street, under a tree, a white fuzzy ball appeared, like a dandelion.
But soon enough, the dandelion-like fluffy balls appeared one after another.
After three erged, the Fox Demon Bai, of the Demon Race, erged butt first from the ground using the Earth Escape Technique, with three small fluffy tails sticking out.
With a dashing flip, he stood in front of Zhang Ze and Li, shook his robe to hide his little tails, and cupped his hands to Zhang Ze.
"Master, we’ve caught soone again. This ti it’s a big fish."
Zhang Ze’s heart skipped a beat. Now, just hearing the words ’caught soone’ made him uneasy.
He feared that so senior of his, wise and powerful, found a way in.
And then, as soon as they ca in, they were caught by his subordinates.
Because he had integrated so mories of the Golden Core master’s from the Illusion Realm with the help of the diary, he also had a basic impression of the Fox Race cultivator associated with ’himself’.
He was quite reliable when he spoke; if he said he caught soone, then he really caught soone.
This Fox Demon was called Bai Xiaosheng, saved casually when ’he’ went to Southern Chen to scavenge four years ago.
This guy, due to his tail being different from others of his kind and having a personality too human-like, wasn’t well-received in his clan.
So he was frad by his kind and his tail was beaten until only one remained, nearly dying in the mountains.
When the Golden Core master saved this guy, because Bai Xiaosheng was beaten back to his original form, he thought he had picked up a little fox with a peculiar tail.
The Golden Core master intended to take him back as a pet.
Though there weren’t detailed records in the diary, Zhang Ze could envision the Golden Core master’s collapse when he discovered his pet fox, which he cuddled daily, was male and could turn into a human.
And Bai Xiaosheng, after his tail grew back, stayed by the Golden Core master’s side, becoming sowhat of a fox-headed military advisor.
It’s considered a fox repaying kindness...
Perhaps.
But co to think of it, why does Bai Xiaosheng’s rabbit tail look so familiar...
Wait a minute, could Bai Xiaosheng be Bai Tao’s ancestor...
The more Zhang Ze thought about it, the more it made sense, and when he associated Bai Tao’s oddly large seniority, he gasped.
While Zhang Ze was lost in thought, Li also remained silent, partly because he was just being interrogated and his identity wasn’t clear yet, and also because he didn’t know Bai Xiaosheng.
Secondly, he suspected that the people caught might be soone he knew, also from outside.
Out of a mindset of ’if I’m going down, I’m taking you with ’, Li decided to stay silent.
The torture device shouldn’t just be for .
Bai Xiaosheng still maintained his saluting posture, seeing his master’s strange expression and the elder’s silence. Helplessly, he cleared his throat.
"Master?"
"Hmm, I’m listening, you continue." Zhang Ze snapped back to focus, gesturing for Bai Xiaosheng to continue.
"Those people claim to be from the Xiao family of Southern Chen. They got into a conflict with our people outside the city and have been captured by Fatty. They are all being held outside the city now."
Zhang Ze, "Xiao... huh? Those people are nad Xiao?"
...
Outside the city, it was bustling. Chong Sanchun was leading his Chong Sect cultivators, surrounding a group of people in the center.
Chong Sanchun, the ’Fatty’ Bai Xiaosheng referred to, was the confidant of the Golden Core master and also the Sect Leader of Chong Sect.
His cultivation was similar to Bai Xiaosheng’s, reaching the edge of the Golden Core Realm.
As for how he t the Golden Core master, it wasn’t as legendary or ridiculous as Bai Xiaosheng’s story, but rather quite simple.
Their personalities matched, that’s all.
Chong Sanchun admired the Golden Core master, willing to be his friend and also follow him as the leader.
As the Golden Core master’s number one henchman, Chong Sanchun looked at the captives with unfriendly eyes.
If it weren’t for the elder’s precedent and Bai Xiaosheng’s advice, he would have already made a move to behead one or two to establish authority.
"Why isn’t Big Brother here yet?" Chong Sanchun muttered.
