Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 588 - 334: The Eyeball That Lost Internet Connection for a Long Time_2

After hearing Zhang Ze's explanation, the eyeball seemed to enter vibration mode.

This eyeball of Emperor Xiaojing seemed somewhat unable to accept the matter.

But after vibrating for a long while, the eyeball suddenly stopped and became calm again.

"So you suspected me from the very beginning?"

Zhang Ze shook his head.

"Not exactly, when I first came in, I didn't even know this was my dream, my memory.

"Although I later became aware of the diary and noticed some discrepancies in Xiao Qingyun's behavior compared to what was recorded. But I didn't think much of it, assuming I had idealized Xiao Qingyun's idiotic actions.

"After all, we were brothers, and he was so foolish; maybe I just felt embarrassed.

"It wasn't until later, when a shadow went to my room to steal the diary, that I realized something was amiss.

"The diary wasn't taken, but a Yellow Book was missing. If this had happened in the past, I would have noted it in the diary, but the entry for that day was empty.

"So, I began to suspect that there was a traitor around me, and after counting, I finally suspected the anomalous Xiao Qingyun.

"I went over everything he did and found that all his actions matched what was recorded in the history books.

"Someone is playing his role and is desperately maintaining his glorious image.

"Probably only Xiao Qingyun's die-hard fans or his descendants would do something like this.

"Anyway, I wouldn't."

Zhang Ze finished speaking and pulled out the diary from his pocket, waving it in front of the eyeball.

"As for how I knew you were Xiaojing, that's even simpler."

"Who else but you, who owns the Jade Book Tower, would hang around inside causing trouble?

"This diary was stolen by you from the Ancestral Master's Tomb on Dragon Tiger Mountain, wasn't it? You wanted to know the contents inside, right?"

The eyeball didn't respond, but its appearance suggested it acknowledged this.

Zhang Ze continued to wave the diary, "But the diary has a restriction; you want to know the contents beyond, you have to walk my path again."

"Unfortunately, I disappeared from history; you can't find information about me, so you'd like to pretend, but you can't."

"You're not me.

"So you devised this plan, hiding your eye in this Illusion Realm, waiting to catch me unaware.

"You left many arrangements just to wait for my revival, to discover the Jade Book Tower, and walk into it foolishly, personally helping you unlock the secrets of the latter half of this diary."

Zhang Ze opened the blank second half of the diary, showing it to the eyeball.

"Smart, worthy of being the close friend of the Grand Ancestor." The eyeball re-merged into a shadow nearby, controlling the slender shadow to gently clap.

"But there is one thing you got wrong, and that's that I actually have no malice toward you.

"So, you don't need to delay any longer, nor waste your energy. With your current abilities, you shouldn't be able to leave here, and that little thing can't help you."

Zhang Ze was stunned, initially thinking Emperor Xiaojing's eyeball had seen through his intentions. But when he mentioned 'little thing,' Zhang Ze was puzzled.

Indeed, he was stalling for time, but what was the 'little thing'?

Zhang Ze turned back to see that the Little Earth Immortal had somehow run far behind; the little guy was digging into the ground with a wooden knife, seemingly trying to dig a hole to escape.

Zhang Ze calmed down at the sight and turned back to the eyeball.

"Actually, I should tell you, that little thing isn't my setup, to be precise, it's yours."

Xiaojing's eyeball, "Mine?"

Zhang Ze, "Yes, it's yours, here's how it came to be..."

After Zhang Ze briefly explained the Little Earth Immortal's identity and some embarrassing actions, Xiaojing's eyeball fell silent again.

A moment later, it decided to skip this topic.

It was too embarrassing.

"No need to worry; having a few defective items in Magical Artifacts is common. But I truly mean no harm, I just wish to propose some cooperation with you."

"Oh, let's hear it." Zhang Ze fished out a thermos cup from his sleeve, took a sip, and signaled to Xiaojing's eyeball like an old man to continue.

He talked too much and his mouth was getting dry.

Emperor Xiaojing's eyeball ignored Zhang Ze's old-timer move, continuing, "You are the Heavenly Destiny People, able to come here. Presumably, you obtained the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror from the Eight Beasts Cave I set up.

"And then, with the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror, you found the Four Saints Tomb I left behind, and finally got the line on this Jade Book Abyss from your female confidante's statue.

"Destined by heaven, and I set up per destiny, this is proof."

Listening to the eyeball's talk, Zhang Ze paused in his hot water drinking and began to ponder.

He pondered what exactly the eyeball was babbling about.

'Eight Beasts Cave?'

'Hmm... That should be referring to Elder Wang's family on Cold City, Aunt Niao's entire family. So that's what the place was called, Eight Beasts Cave? The Profound Identification Treasure Mirror was what he left there?'

'And what on earth is the Four Saints Tomb? Xiangxiang's statue... Oh, it's Xiaoxuan; does the Profound Identification really have a function to indicate robbery? Why didn't it tell me?'

'Forget it, it must be because I didn't ask.'

'So how did I end up in that place... Oh right, it was Brother Feng who fumbled, twisted a Teleportation Talisman into it... Ah right, where has Brother Feng gone? Haven't seen him for so long?'

'As for this Jade Book Abyss... do I need to tell Xiaojing's eyeball that the Jade Book Abyss has long since become the backyard of the Sword Sect Jing State Sword Pavilion, and the Jade Book Tower was demolished. Now outside the Jade Book Tower has transformed into a commercial street...'
