"I'm reading a book, my liege."
The little monk said with a smile.
...
Dragon Beard Pass.
"What are you all doing?"
Zhang Ze looked at the large group of people in the cave mansion with a speechless expression.
The cave mansion was packed with people: his master, so little Fuji he didn't recognize, Lily, Li Yueqi, Little Tang, and a whole bunch of others were all there.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the headquarters of the Thousand chanism Pavilion had moved to Dragon Beard Pass.
The room was a chaotic ss, with the sounds of Little Earth Immortal and Maomao failing in their fight, the cries of 'Who stepped on my foot?' from the dumpling-like Fuji, Lily discussing problems with the cultivators of the Thousand chanism Pavilion while holding a small walnut, and the idle tea-drinking and bickering of his master and shishu.
Upon entering, it was as noisy as a market at the mouth of the street.
Despite the chaos, Zhang Ze felt quite touched.
Everyone ca so quickly; they must be genuinely concerned about him. Truly a loving family.
Amidst this market-like scene, apart from family, there was also an influential figure, Arrogant Li.
At this ti, Arrogant Li was sitting with legs crossed, lounging on a high, soft cushion with the air of a grand lord. Seeing Zhang Ze enter, it twirled its little tail indifferently and said.
"You're back, find a place to sit yourself."
Unsure of what the Fat Dragon was acting up about, Zhang Ze bewilderedly looked at his junior sister, who shrugged before gesturing to her stomach.
It dawned on Zhang Ze suddenly; he thought that perhaps Arrogant Li had learned about the city in its belly and was playing the 'holding the emperor to command the lords' ga.
With the diagnosis clear, treatnt was necessary.
Zhang Ze stepped forward and flicked Arrogant Li's smooth forehead with just the right amount of force to daze without hurting.
Instantly, the corrupt gaze of power in Arrogant Li's eyes returned to clarity, transforming from Li Aman back to Little Li.
Covering its head, Arrogant Li sat up from the cushion and asked, "You're back, how are things on your side?"
Seeing how crowded it was, Zhang Ze didn't elaborate, "Nothing conclusive, once I handle the matter in your belly, I'll head to the Northern Territory."
Arrogant Li looked down at its belly, "There's really a city in my belly? How co I didn't know before."
Zhang Ze patted its head, "There are many things unknowable, what's one more? By the way, can you get that city out yourself?"
Arrogant Li shook its head, "No way."
"I see..." Just as Zhang Ze was about to say sothing more, Lily suddenly appeared next to him like a ghost.
"Boss, you can rest easy, leave Arrogant Li to , I'll handle your... ahem... final affairs..."
She was literally asking for trouble, with her words barely spoken when his junior sister appeared behind her, putting her in a chokehold and then dragging her to the ground, entering into a grappling match.
Realizing she misspoke, Lily imdiately patted the ground to admit defeat, expressing that she conceded.
"Cough, it was just a slip of the tongue, was it necessary, cough cough." Climbing up from the ground and rubbing her throat, Lily continued, "I've thought of a solution already, I've arranged for outside help from ho, they'll arrive tomorrow."
"In any case, leave it all to , but then..." Lily rubbed her fingers together, hinting that Zhang Ze should co up with sothing.
Zhang Ze, "Money?"
"No, boss, lend one of your Golden Cores, any will do." Lily pointed at Zhang Ze's Dantian.
Zhang Ze didn't care much about the Golden Core, as he had plenty on him.
He took out a Golden Core from the Beast Taming Sect and was about to hand it to Lily when Li Yueqi's voice rang out beside him.
"Wow, what do you an, are you saying our Beast Taming Sect doesn't matter?"
Zhang Ze, "..."
"Then Dragon Tiger Mountain..." Zhang Ze hadn't finished his sentence when Little Tang held up a small walnut, and Old Tang's big face filled the entire crystal stone screen.
"Sigh, now that you're grown, we at Dragon Tiger Mountain are of no use, huh."
Old Tang's voice, like that of a lonely old man, echoed in Zhang Ze's ears.
"Then the Sword Sect, okay?" Zhang Ze said helplessly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his master and shishu, Li Guanqi and Wang Buyu, blocked his way.
"The Sword Sect is our signature skill, how can you just discard it?"
"Exactly, exactly."
Zhang Ze, "This..."
Zhang Ze initially wanted to explain sothing, but quickly realized that nothing he said seed to matter.
Because the group in front of him had already started arguing about the Golden Core without him, the person concerned.
Very soon, the argunt detoured to a debate on whose path among the Three Sects was invincible.
Old Tang used his seniority to suppress Master Li, but Master Li wouldn't back down and, like Little Tang, took out a small walnut, calling upon his master.
The voice of Pavilion Master Zhengyi joined in the conversation, matching Old Tang evenly.
Previously departed Li Yueqi, egged on by Bai Tao and Lily watching the fun, also crooked in her grandfather.
Now, three small walnuts faced each other on the stone table in the cave mansion.
Three old n engaged in a remote debate, none willing to concede.
The rest of the people, so were cracking sunflower seeds, so were deep in thought.
As for Zhang Ze, the person concerned, he had already been pushed to the fringes, and nobody was paying attention to the Golden Core issue.
Zhang Ze suddenly realized that these people might not have co out of pure concern for him.
They likely anticipated so major event happening here and ca to join the excitent.
What happened to being a loving family?
Zhang Ze suddenly felt a bit weary, and just then, his junior sister silently ca to his side, leaned on his shoulder, and held his hand, softly saying.
"Sigh, they don't care about you, unlike . I'll only feel for my brother."
