Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 558 - 324: We have no grievance nor enmity, so why this trouble?_2

Chapter 558: Chapter 324: We have no grievance nor enmity, so why this trouble?_2

Zhang Ze then realized that because he just flipped Xiangfei over, his hand was placed somewhat awkwardly...

"Sorry, the situation was urgent just now, I didn’t notice..."

Zhang Ze felt a bit embarrassed. After putting Xiangfei down, he picked up a branch from the ground and handed it to Xiangfei as a walking stick.

"Thank you." Xiangfei said after taking the walking stick.

The pork disguise she had on had mostly fallen off due to the recent jostling. Now, she simply peeled off the remaining pieces, transforming from a pork zombie back to her original beautiful appearance.

Zhang Ze held the ox in one hand and supported Xiangfei with the other, attempting to move away from the water, but after several tries, they always ended up back at the lakeside.

After circling a few times, Old Cyan Ox seemed to notice something and bit Zhang Ze’s sleeve, nodding its head as if to suggest they follow it and try.

Zhang Ze had no other ideas, thinking that since the old horse knew the way, the old ox shouldn’t be bad either, and he nodded in agreement.

Under the guidance of the Old Cyan Ox, this time was different; they didn’t end up back at the lakeside but arrived in front of a cave.

The cave entrance was tightly blocked by a large stone.

And coincidentally, Taoist Liu was also there, though the scene wasn’t exactly dignified.

At this moment, Taoist Liu was lying on the ground, with the two Dragon Steeds sitting on his back and legs, firmly pushing him down.

Since he wasn’t a Body Cultivator and didn’t dare to use his Cultivation, Taoist Liu was unable to do anything to these two naturally powerful Dragon Steeds for a while.

The two Dragon Steeds, seeing it was Zhang Ze coming, waggishly raised their brows at him, signaling their great achievement and questioning if they could get a promotion and raise after leaving.

Zhang Ze ignored the two Dragon Steeds and instead looked down at Taoist Liu, hesitatingly asked, "You... you have this hobby?"

This question made Xiangfei’s face turn red; she turned away and spat, "Pervert..."

It’s no wonder Zhang Ze was curious, as the Dragon Steed sitting on Taoist Liu’s back was in an awkward position...

It wasn’t sitting horizontally but kneeling, with its mighty form resting heavily on Taoist Liu’s head.

Another reason Taoist Liu didn’t dare to move was that he feared that any struggle might make that thing slap his face...

If that happened, it would be hard to explain no matter who stood up... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Being asked by Zhang Ze like this, Taoist Liu’s old face flushed red with shame, feeling a strong urge to die.

Thinking to himself about when he’d ever suffered such humiliation, he was about to go all out against Zhang Ze when Zhang Ze raised his hand to signal the two Dragon Steeds to move their butts away.

Due to the threat of the eerie tentacle, neither of them could make a move, and Zhang Ze thought he could have a good talk with Taoist Liu.

"Prefect Liu, shall we talk?" Zhang Ze composed himself, as if he hadn’t seen anything just now.

Seeing Zhang Ze not mentioning that incident anymore, Taoist Liu cleared his throat and got up from the ground. But hearing Zhang Ze wanting to talk, he angrily said, "You rascal! What is there to say between us, you stole my ox, and... wait! Are you sick? How could you sneak Xiangfei out too?"

Just now, Taoist Liu didn’t dare to lift his head while lying on the ground, fearing his mouth might touch something unsavory. Meanwhile, Xiangfei had turned her face away, so Taoist Liu hadn’t seen her face clearly.

Now looking over, he discovered that the silly girl wearing a tattered cotton jacket, being held by Zhang Ze all the way, was actually Xiangfei, who lived behind the red walls.

Honestly, he felt a bit of admiration for Zhang Ze at this moment, thinking this guy truly was something, fearless, daring to steal anything.

But Zhang Ze was a bit surprised when he saw Taoist Liu’s expression.

Because it seemed like Taoist Liu didn’t know that the Imperial Banner was hidden inside Xiangfei.

To him, it seemed Xiangfei was just a particularly special concubine imprisoned in the deep palace due to some royal secret.

Seeing Taoist Liu didn’t know, Zhang Ze also didn’t bring it up and continued with his previous topic.

"You might not believe it, but this really was all an accident, and it all started with selling myself to bury my father."

"What selling yourself to bury your father?" Taoist Liu was curious about Zhang Ze’s seemingly unrelated words.

"It’s a long story and not important right now; we don’t have time, but I’ll tell you after we get out. In any case, I think we can cooperate, because being stuck here is no good for either of us."

Taoist Liu snorted coldly, "Ha, why should I cooperate with you!"

"We have no past grudges or enmities, so why can’t we cooperate?" Zhang Ze looked innocent.

"You say you’re not my enemy? You’ve brought me to this point, and you say you’re not my enemy!"

Seeing Zhang Ze’s expression, Taoist Liu was so angry he became a bit incoherent.

Zhang Ze, looking wronged, said, "Then, tell me, what grudge do we have?"

"You’re the one who has grievances? Then how do you explain stealing my ox!" Taoist Liu was still holding onto this matter.

"When did I steal it? Your ox killed the Emperor. If it weren’t for my righteous actions, using my brilliant wisdom to get the old ox out of the palace and away from danger, where would the old ox’s life be now? Instead of thanking me, you blame me? How does that make sense?" Zhang Ze spread his hands.

Taoist Liu, "..."

Old Cyan Ox, "..."

Something felt off, but it was hard to say what.

"Wait a minute! You’re wrong! If you hadn’t tried to sneak Xiangfei out of the palace, how could my ox have killed the Emperor?" Taoist Liu, almost fooled by Zhang Ze, pointed at him and cursed.

"You’re right, but what does that have to do with you?" Zhang Ze sincerely responded.

"How does it not have anything to do with me?" Taoist Liu was stunned by the question.
