Miaomiao heard and her eyes darted around, suddenly coming up with an idea.
"Erlang, give your counterfeit Optimus Pri figure. I'll fiddle with it; maybe I can trade it for so good stuff, ow."
She had her eyes on the genuine Thousand chanism Magical Artifact in the cave of the Two Red Apes siblings.
Erlang, "No way, that's mine..."
Azang, "It's not up to you to decide!"
After Azang beat Erlang up, Miaomiao still managed to fish out the counterfeit Optimus Pri from Erlang's waistband.
However, holding the counterfeit Optimus Pri, Miaomiao grinned and walked up to the Two Red Apes, but before she could speak, she was t with an unyielding refusal.
"We don't want fakes."
"ow... ow! How can you tell?"
Being an outsider, Miaomiao didn't understand. The toy's craftsmanship was clearly good, the materials solid, and it looked quite impressive, so why was it instantly recognized as fake?
The elder of the Two Red Apes looked at Miaomiao disdainfully and pulled out a simple block figure from behind him.
"Look closely, this is what the genuine Thousand Machine King Kong from Child Treasure looks like; yours is too well-made, so it's obviously fake!"
...
Zhang Ze chose not to comnt on the quality of Child Treasure products under the Thousand chanism Pavilion because he hadn't heard anything.
He was currently preoccupied with another matter—where did Li disappear to?
At this mont, Zhang Ze had already arrived at the designated eting place but saw no sign of her.
The rendezvous was set at a viewing platform sixty miles southeast outside Luoyu Mountain.
The area was considered one of the few good spots within Chang State, not having been struck by the rising and falling Floating Mountain for at least five to six hundred years, making it a truly blessed land.
To witness the annual blood moon spectacle, a curious local had built a viewing platform here.
Although Chang State was remote, every year during this ti, out-of-town cultivators would visit to witness the rare sight.
Normally, it should be bustling here.
Yet today, not only were Li and Brother Monkey nowhere to be found, even the moon-gazing tourists and local vendors had mysteriously vanished.
Zhang Ze reached out, picked up a teapot from a small stall, poured out the tea, and watched the rising steam, clearly indicating that these people had just left.
Setting down the teapot, Zhang Ze walked to the railing, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed at the distant Luoyu Mountain, pondering where everyone had gone.
Li was fine, and Zhang Ze could clearly feel that she was safe and sound.
As he was about to call for others, several streaks of golden light suddenly erged from the misty mountain range behind him.
The golden light landed, revealing three n and three won, each dressed in the attire of one of the Six Sects.
Zhang Ze was turned sideways to them at the ti, and before he could fully turn around, he heard an exclamation from over there.
"Wow!!!! It's an idol statue! How is there one here!"
The leading senior sister from the Sword Sect dashed over and marveled at Zhang Ze himself.
Another bald-headed mber from the Buddhist Sect stepped forward, "Who would've thought Senior Brother Zhang's renown has spread to this place—truly remarkable."
Zhang Ze, "..."
Due to the awkwardness, Zhang Ze remained motionless, continuing to play the role of a statue, hoping they would leave soon...
But fate was unkind, and Zhang Ze was unaware of his fa within the Six Sects.
"I have to say, the craftsmanship is quite good, but sadly, such a big piece of paint is missing from the back—it's really unsightly. Let fix it..." said a Brother from the Beast Taming Sect, who had a turtle on his head, trying to apply paint to Zhang Ze.
The large missing patch on Zhang Ze's back was from a fender bender with Floating Mountain.
For so reason, no one told him.
However, the Beast Taming Sect Brother was halted by the Sword Sect senior sister before he could make a move.
"Don't scribble on my idol; your drawing is hideous!"
"You're such a fangirl, always going on about idols; they won't pay attention to you anyway..." complained the jealous Beast Taming Sect disciple with the turtle.
"Mind your own business; I'm happy!" retorted the unknown Sword Sect senior sister, standing defiantly in front of Zhang Ze himself.
Then she began to recount Zhang Ze's legendary exploits, and before long, a junior sister from dicine King Valley and a junior brother from Dragon Tiger Mountain joined the discussion.
Such tales were so extraordinary that even Zhang Ze himself didn't know them.
Just as Zhang Ze was about to lose his cool, risking an outbreak of embarrassnt syndro to clarify himself, the Celestial Sect senior sister who stood silent suddenly spoke.
Not without reason, Celestial Sect's disciples knew how to deliver words with an icy charm, as the surrounding temperature dropped by eight degrees.
"Rumors in the world of legends often spread falsehoods. Does Junior Brother Zhang even know these stories you've been talking about?
"Instead of wasting ti on these empty words, how about doing sothing productive."
Exactly, thought Zhang Ze, disguised as a statue; Celestial Sect disciples never fail.
Normal people can still be found in the Celestial Sect.
Subsequently, the normal Celestial Sect senior sister stepped forward to perform the "productive" task she had ntioned.
Before Zhang Ze, she clasped her hands and bowed three tis.
"May the spirit of Junior Brother bless to pass the assessnt this year without repeating a grade, fill next year with peach blossoms, and find a suitable suitor... What are you waiting for? Co and worship quickly!"
Saying this, she even reached out a salty pig hand to touch Zhang Ze's hair bun, seemingly to absorb so good fortune.
Zhang Ze, "..."
Too much thinking—there are no normal people within the Six Sects.
Moreover, speaking of which, that large statue of mine in the plaza of Thousand chanism Pavilion actually had its big toe polished to a sheen by soone...
Damn it, what do they really see as?
Just as Zhang Ze was about to manifest on-site and give these superstitious senior brothers and sisters a lesson, the top-tier fangirl suddenly stopped.
Her salty pig hand paused before his chest, her gaze turning dazed.
Behind Zhang Ze, an unseen green creature climbed up from the cliff beyond the railing, holding a small black stone in its hand, it waved at the Six Sects disciples.
"Friend... co this way..."
