Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 563 - 326: The Revenge of the Little Earth Immortal

Chapter 563: Chapter 326: The Revenge of the Little Earth Immortal

The Flying Ship moved with divine speed, traversing hundreds of miles in an instant.

After leaving the Ghost Lake guarded by the Nine Huis, although no one pursued from behind, Xiao Qingyun, to ensure safety, made several loops before heading to White Jade County.

"Brother Zhang, how do you find my new Flying Ship?" asked Xiao Qingyun, standing at the ship’s helm, steering it.

"It’s pretty fast, faster than that time at White Mount. Have you upgraded this Flying Ship?" Zhang Ze replied casually.

"That’s right, Brother Zhang, indeed you have a keen eye. I’ve adjusted the ship’s array and supplemented it with the power of the Five Elements, thus enhancing its speed on special terrains.

"I’m planning to give this new Flying Ship a name. Do you have any suggestions, Brother Zhang?"

Xiao Qingyun seemed genuinely delighted.

However, Zhang Ze was somewhat absent-minded as he was thinking about other things.

"Something that runs on water is called a ship, right?... then something that flies fast should be called a flying ship, but calling it a flying ship is a bit inelegant, so how about we just call it a Flying Ship..."

Xiao Qingyun: "..."

Finishing his words, Zhang Ze also felt a bit awkward and smiled at Xiao Qingyun, "You know me, I’m never good at naming things... Let’s not talk about that. How did you know I was there?"

"I was the one who told him to come."

It was Lu Chen speaking, who had somehow woken up and was now sitting cross-legged on the ox’s back, looking at Zhang Ze.

"When we went out on a venture, we had to leave someone at home to watch over things, so I used the One Soul, Two Bodies technique to leave a stand-in back home.

"After leaving the Imperial City, I notified Xiao Qingyun to come pick us up.

"I intended to give you a surprise, but there was a little mishap at home. A few unruly people thought I, the Sect Leader, was truly not there and planned to cause trouble.

"I thought a mere Taoist Liu would be easy for you to handle, so I went back to help." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"So you knew all about what happened when we were trapped by the Nine Huis?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Yes, and to be honest, at the time, I originally wanted to play a bigger game. See if I could lure that old ghost alone there and then deal with him.

"But upon thinking it over, I decided it’s better to play it safe. So I activated the paper men left in Bianjing City to buy us some time."

From Lu Chen’s expression, she seemed somewhat regretful.

Zhang Ze was speechless for a moment, thinking that this person really had guts.

"So you’re really fine?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Of course I’m fine, this Sect Leader is completely at ease and very relaxed," Lu Chen shrugged.

Zhang Ze said nothing more, suspiciously looking at Lu Chen.

Having been listening all this while, Xiao Qingyun finally seized the chance to cough lightly and spoke, "Sect Leader Lu, Brother Zhang, did you find what you were looking for?"

Upon hearing these words, Xiangfei, who had been listening and giggling like she was uninvolved, suddenly stiffened.

A very bad feeling gripped her heart.

Now that they were safe, the tension from escaping the cage fading away, she suddenly realized she might have just been moved from one walled place to another.

Instinctively, she wanted to withdraw her wrist from Zhang Ze’s hand.

But before she could move, Lu Chen said, "It’s a fake, all for amusement. The Human Emperor Banner wasn’t in the hands of those two old ghosts.

"Those two old ghosts used some evil technique and demon technique they obtained from who knows where to attempt to sacrifice an entire city for breakthrough and longevity. The Human Emperor Banner was merely a disguise."

"But we didn’t leave empty-handed either. Look, this kid took the opportunity to snatch himself a bride back."

Lu Chen’s nonsense came naturally.

Zhang Ze hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly at Xiao Qingyun as if his thoughts had been exposed.

While Xiangfei lowered her head, lost in thought...

——The dividing line of Jade Book Tower still in overdrive——

The journey continued in silence; not long after, Xiao Qingyun led Zhang Ze and others back to White Jade County.

Due to the recent attack on White Jade County, things were still somewhat hectic. Xiao Qingyun stowed the Flying Ship, bid farewell to the group, and prepared to go back to help his father handle related matters.

The two Dragon Steeds, being quite self-managing, stated they could find a place to stay on their own and wait for arrangements for broodmares when the time came.

Old Cyan Ox had the same idea, so they didn’t require Zhang Ze’s attention. They led each other to the stables outside Zhang Ze’s residence, where they found their spots to settle temporarily.

Back in the house, Lu Chen walked ahead with hands behind her back, as if it were her own home, greeting everyone warmly along the way.

Instead, Zhang Ze, holding onto Xiangfei, who had a leg ailment, trailed behind.

Throughout the journey, Xiangfei kept her head lowered, not speaking a word.

Upon reaching a courtyard, Zhang Ze saw his master, Li.

Adhering to the principle that with lesser ability comes lesser responsibility, Li Guanqi, after entering the Illusion Realm, didn’t roam around causing trouble like Zhang Ze.

Instead, he lived a retired life, waking up early and going to bed early every day, gathering various materials in the morning, spending afternoons playing with the Little Earth Immortal, and engaging in casual visits to play chess and relieve boredom when free.

He was living rather leisurely.

At this moment, Li had just returned from a chess game and coincidentally encountered Zhang Ze holding Xiangfei’s small hand.

Li looked at Zhang Ze, then at Xiangfei, who looked exactly like Xiaoxuan. Whatever he imagined, it left him wearing a face that silently said, ’How could you, kid.’

"Master, I..." Zhang Ze was about to speak but was interrupted by Li.

"You see... sigh, it’s only human nature, everyone makes mistakes, whatever, I will help you keep this secret," Li sighed helplessly.
