Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 862 - 431: Senile Dementia—Everyone Has Senile Dementia
"You said my dad is in the sky? What do you mean?"
The Junior Sister had just been released from the water bubble by Zhu Luo. She looked up at the slightly bright night sky of Chang State, momentarily puzzled.
Junior Sister, "Could it be that..."
Zhang Ze lightly coughed, hurriedly interrupting the wild imagination of the mischievous little cotton mare.
"Don't overthink it, the old man is doing just fine. It's hard to explain the specifics right now. Just come back first."
As he spoke, Zhang Ze flicked his fingertips, casting an automatic hair-washing spell to clean out the dirt, rocks, and leaves from his hair. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Alright then, don't run off, I'll be back soon." Without waiting to put down the little walnut, Junior Sister turned her head and shouted.
"Mom!"
Zhang Ze held the little walnut a bit farther away, her voice was really loud.
Over in Chang State, at the call of "Mom," in an instant, people gathered around Junior Sister.
Not only her actual mom, but several Sect Leaders from Chang State also gathered around.
Perfectly stealthy Lily suddenly appeared at this moment, standing on tiptoes at the back of the crowd.
Due to her short stature, she kept jumping in the back, her twin ponytails flopping up and down like cockroach antennae, trying to see what was happening.
But in the end, she didn't have the nerve to squeeze to the front.
Zhang Ze, "It's hard to explain through the little walnut, it's easier to talk in person..."
However, before he finished speaking, the big shots on the other end of the screen vanished in an instant.
Leaving only the lonely old Tang, and Lily, who finally showed her face while bouncing around in a black cloak.
And the Junior Sister who was casually forgotten over there by her own mom.
Where did everyone go?
...
While staring wide-eyed at each other with Junior Sister, the voice of Mother-in-law echoed behind Zhang Ze, startling him.
Mo Jingchun, "What's going on, speak quickly."
Zhang Ze, "That was quick?"
Accompanying were Old Sect Leader Li and Qin Lang, both curiously watching Zhang Ze, waiting for his new performance.
Although somewhat impolite, they were actually more curious about what Zhang Ze had just encountered than about Mr. Chen's whereabouts.
To be cautious, after sending Zhang Ze skyward, they had been fixating on Luoyu Mountain.
But right when he approached the sky curtain, Zhang Ze suddenly disappeared from their perception.
As if this world lacked this person, yet at that time, they didn't sense anything unusual.
It wasn't until Zhang Ze reappeared that the eerie feeling, as if something had been extracted, returned to haunt their minds.
Although this bizarre feeling vanished in an instant, the lingering sticky sensation left them feeling surprised and uneasy.
Faced with the questioning, Zhang Ze didn't speak and instead looked around.
As a location Zhang Ze specifically chose before landing, though this place was spacious, it was breezy everywhere, clearly unsuitable for discussing secrets.
Mo Jingchun, understanding, grabbed Zhang Ze's collar, took a step forward, and brought him to the back mountain of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
Qin Lang and the Old Sect Leader followed along.
And Zhang Ze's master Li Guanqi wisely stayed put.
If there's anything to ask, just ask tomorrow, after all, Zhang Ze won't run away.
He bent down to pick up the little walnut that Zhang Ze had dropped during the tug, only to find Lily was the only one left on the other side.
Lily was still bouncing around.
"Where did those two go?" Li Guanqi asked.
"They hurried home, ran off." Lily answered.
"And you?"
"I'm not in a hurry, I can ask tomorrow, the boss won't run away."
Bouncing, Lily hung up the little walnut.
Curiously, although Lily wasn't noisy, the silence that hit when her voice disappeared made Li Guanqi immediately feel a lot quieter around him.
A gentle breeze and insect chirps surrounded him, and the starry moon lit the sky above, as if nothing had just happened.
With nothing else to do, he was about to go home for tea, but looking at the large pit his student had made, he suddenly had an idea.
Li Guanqi pressed down with one hand to fill the pit.
Then he scattered some seeds, and shortly after, not only did the barren land before him, but the area around a small mile was filled with small Fortune Trees.
Counting the trees, the number of Fortune Trees matched the number of years his salary was docked.
Two hundred and sixty trees.
Old Li pondered taking possession of this place and renaming it Fortune Forest.
In the future, for every year a salary is docked, plant a Fortune Tree here.
"Five miles... should be enough?" Li Guanqi mused.
...
The back mountain of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
Compared to the initially untouched back mountain, it was now visibly more structured, with many specialized buildings added.
The massive bronze doors stood tall, built into the mountain, the wind howling as it breezed across its gilded surface.
Due to the strong wind, Zhang Ze named the place the Wind Valley.
All high-risk explosive projects of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion were conducted here.
After being brought through the bronze doors and initiating the corresponding arrays, Zhang Ze carefully took out two items from his bosom.
It was to protect these two things that he was brought crashing into the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
"Please take a look, everyone."
Holding an item in each hand.
In Zhang Ze's left hand was a singed edge of a Sword Book.
Only half remained, and the unburnt part of the Sword Book seemed to have once held some writings, but for some reason, the ink had all blurred together.
In his right hand was a black stone.
This black stone was different from the previous ones, much lighter in color and vaguely etched with some indistinct patterns.
As if it had been pried off from something.
But most importantly, the residual information on this black stone.
Apart from a strand of Sword Intent attached to the black stone, there were also two pieces of information.
