Who let him join the Sword Sect?!
Chapter 79: Pavilion Master Chen said, "This child must not be kept.

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Pavilion Master Chen said, "This child must not be kept.

Aunt Liu herself is exactly like the shadow we saw earlier.

She looks like a gentle person, and she softly thanked Zhang Ze for saving her life, promising a great reward.

But the words she spoke afterward, though gentle, sounded a bit odd.

"Where is Wang Buyu?"

"Has he been up to anything lately?"

Zhang Ze felt a headache coming on.

"No wonder they all ran away."

"So that’s what’s going on."

Honestly, Zhang Ze also wanted to run, but you can run away as a monk, but not from a temple.

So Zhang Ze could only explain the reason Grandpa Wang didn’t come.

But as he spoke, he felt like he was helping Wang make excuses.

After awkwardly explaining, Zhang Ze hurriedly handed over the Jade Pendant and Aunt Niao’s jade box.

"The words your teacher wanted to say to you are sealed in this Jade Pendant."

"I didn’t open the letter in the box."

"Please take your time to read it."

After speaking, Zhang Ze wisely exited the Secret Realm, leaving time for Aunt Niao alone.

In his heart, he prayed, praying that Grandpa Wang hadn’t put anything melodramatic in the Jade Pendant.

As a junior, he really couldn’t handle it.

After leaving the Secret Realm, Zhang Ze found that Li Yueqi was gone.

"Junior Sister, where is Li Yueqi?"

"Hei Qu seemed a bit unwell earlier, so Sister Yueqi already returned to Cold City."

"Senior Brother, why did you come out?"

Chen Qin, holding a twig, casually waved it around, teasing the gathering fireflies.

"What else to do but come out; who knows what the teacher has left in the Jade Pendant." Zhang Ze took two small stools out of the Hundred Treasures Bag and handed one to Chen Qin.

"If they’re good words, then no problem."

"But if they’re heartless words, although it won’t be an issue for me."

"Staying down there would be really awkward."

"I’ve already experienced something like this once today."

Chen Qin sat down next to Zhang Ze and sighed, "Being a junior is like this."

"Yeah, being a junior is like this."

The fireflies in the yard gathered more and more, like stars.

"Senior Brother," Chen Qin suddenly spoke.

"What is it?" Zhang Ze asked.

"It’s nothing."

Chen Qin suddenly forgot what she wanted to say and stopped talking, just quietly sitting beside Zhang Ze.

These days had been so busy, Zhang Ze was a bit tired too; he didn’t feel like talking, so he just sat beside Chen Qin, enjoying the moment of peace.

Meanwhile, the Ling sisters were lying by the broken window of the Taoist Temple, observing the two in the yard.

Ling Qiqi hadn’t changed back, still a bird, speaking with a bit of an off tone.

"Oh hey, do you think these two..."

"Definitely suspicious." Ling Qiliu made a professional judgment.

"I remember back in the old mansion, Uncle Wang and Mom would sit in the yard watching the sky like that." the most forgetful Ling Qiyi offered a professional reference.

"Oh~," the remaining spheres let out a vague exclamation.

Just as they were about to start gossiping, Ling Liu suddenly appeared behind them, clearing her throat lightly.

"Don’t disrespect your benefactors."

The daughters immediately fell silent.

Ling Liu took her daughters out of the Taoist Temple, and Zhang Ze and Chen Qin rose to greet them.

Seeing Aunt Niao’s expression, Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, guessing Grandpa Wang left love-filled words in that Jade Pendant.

"I have something to give you."

Ling Liu pulled something out from her sleeve and handed it to Zhang Ze.

An octagonal Ancient Jade Disc, finely inscribed with arrays.

"What’s this?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Array, the array from Dream-Locked Cold City, this is its original form. It’s useless to me, so you take it."

Having said that, Ling Liu handed the jade disc to Zhang Ze without waiting for him to refuse.

"I know you have many questions, but I’m actually quite tired tonight."

"I want to spend more time with my daughters."

"Tomorrow, come to the old mansion in Cold City, and I’ll tell you everything I know."

After saying that, Lady Ling Liu raised her hand, summoning a breeze that whisked everyone back to Cold City.

"What about the Secret Realm?" Zhang Ze remembered the Taoist Temple’s Secret Realm was still wide open, and reminded her.

"The Dream Origin Pill is gone, the mirror and the array are in your hands. Now it’s just a blank place, anyone who likes it can go."

"Senior Brother, where shall we go?" Watching the silhouettes of Ling Liu and her daughters leaving, Chen Qin asked.

"Back to the Inn, get some rest. Once we handle these miscellaneous things tomorrow, we’ll head home." Zhang Ze replied.

"Okay."

However, when Zhang Ze and Chen Qin returned to the Fox Butterfly Restaurant, things took a turn for the puzzling.

They found the landlady hadn’t rested yet, and the fox was lying behind the counter, smiling at them.

"Guests, there are no extra rooms left."

"If you want to stay, there’s only the big bed room on the second floor."

"..."

The two were half-pushed by the landlady to the second floor and into the room.

Not sure what the landlady was thinking, but she removed all the chairs from the room, leaving only the bed for sitting.

And there seemed to be something wrong with this room; as soon as they entered, the atmosphere turned ambiguous.

"Senior Brother, would you like some water?"

"I’m not thirsty."

"Not even hot water?"

"No."

The two sat side by side on the bed.

Zhang Ze turned to look at Chen Qin, noticing she was also sneakily glancing at him, her face slightly red.

They were quite close together.

Zhang Ze wasn’t one to back down; since the atmosphere was already like this, he felt it was wrong to not do anything. He raised his hand.

Then.

Again, the bed collapsed.

Only half collapsed, the half Zhang Ze was sitting on.

Zhang Ze sat on the ground, looking at the neat cut of the bed board and the uniformly sized wood chips on the floor.

Zhang Ze knew who did it this time.

All turned to dust, truly a familiar hand at work.

"Isn’t the brother-in-law supposed to be not in Cold City? When did he come?"

Thanks to Mr. Chen’s astounding sword, the ambiguous atmosphere in the room disappeared entirely.

Zhang Ze sat on the floor feeling frustrated, while Chen Qin looked at Zhang Ze’s frustrated expression and laughed joyfully.

She suddenly got bolder.

Chen Qin leaned over and gently kissed Zhang Ze’s cheek.

Before Zhang Ze could react, she blushed and dashed out the door.

"I’m going to find Sister Yueqi! Senior Brother, remember to drink plenty of hot water!"

She hurried out, her words a jumbled mess.

...

Outside Cold City, in the mountain forest.

On a hilltop, Sword Qi like a dragon, all grass, rocks, and trees around Chen Mushi turned to dust.

Once his mood settled, Chen Mushi summoned a piece of white paper.

He used his finger as a pen.

The first sentence.

"This boy must not be spared!"

After thinking it over, he erased this sentence, then honestly wrote down the true situation.

"The matter of Cold City is settled, Zhang Ze..."

Chen Mushi and Zhengyi, two Great Powers, were originally busy elsewhere when they suddenly received a message from his father, the Sect Leader, yesterday.

Asking Chen Mushi to check out Cold City.

The Sect Leader wanted him to see what was happening in Cold City; if Chen Qin and Zhang Ze couldn’t resolve it, he should directly intervene.

If they managed it themselves, then write down everything he witnessed.

Chen Mushi dispatched a Dharma Aspect to rush over, coincidentally arriving today.

All of Zhang Ze’s actions today were within his view.

Except for the events within the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror.

...

Cold City.

Zhang Ze paced around the room with his hands behind his back.

He felt it was not the right time to rush.

His Junior Sister’s feelings had been acknowledged, he could proceed gradually.

If he’s proactive, Junior Sister would naturally be fine with it.

But the brother-in-law could really take action.

Foundation Establishment against Tribulation Crossing, still a bit overconfident.

First, let’s have thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river.

After independently drafting a plan to stabilize the brother-in-law’s actions, Zhang Ze found himself suddenly having nothing to do.

"Let’s check the mission rewards."

The matter of Cold City was essentially wrapped up, time to claim the mission rewards.

But...

"Why, is it still a box?"

Looking at a task’s two-choice reward, Zhang Ze thought for a second.

Then decisively chose the box.

"Open."

"I don’t believe it; this time I can open another butt."
