Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

"Look at this, a proper True Dragon body, it's lengthy!"

Indeed, it's lengthy. Although this dragon body is a bit smaller than the village, it's genuinely a proper dragon body.

It's quite long, and if coiled up, it would definitely be a big lump.

Just because only parts of her transformed into a dragon, Li's head and limbs still remain the same size, compared to this lengthy dragon body, they look like five pimples.

No wonder that Sword Sect disciple on Wind Dragon Slope couldn't see it clearly.

Zhang Ze let out a long sigh once again, suddenly realizing that beauty comes from a distance.

The unseen Divine Dragon is a good dragon, able to hold people's infinite hope and anticipation.

No wonder people didn't respect dragons back in the Primordial times. The ones like in the village are fine, but those like Li are indeed hard to command respect for.

Moreover, it's not only abstract but also has a great appetite.

Thinking of this only adds to his sorrow, as he recalls his junior sister has a Little Phoenix there too. Who knows if it will also transform into something as abstract as Li?

Seeing Li so happy, Zhang Ze couldn't bear to dampen her spirits but felt his body and mind are completely exhausted, and the idea of testing new spells disappeared without a trace.

Three years of flowing through the Spirit Realm had indeed changed Zhang Ze's mood somewhat, but the commotion caused by Li returned it to its original state.

At this moment, he thought about finding his junior sister as soon as possible.

The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow.

"Let's go, I'll tell you a few stories."

Zhang Ze beckoned, and Li transformed from a big lump back into a roly-poly shape, scampering onto his shoulder. After settling comfortably into the driver's seat, Li asked.

"What stories?"

"Seven goblins and Snow White..."

...

Endlessly chatting on the way, after returning to the small city whose name Zhang Ze still didn't know, he didn't bother to report the task completion.

After all, proving the task completion required Li to scare people again, so he let these tasks become folk legends in Jing State's wilderness.

Not just with those nonsensical little stories, along the way, Zhang Ze also recounted everything about finding the Sect Leader uncle-grandfather to Li, stroke by stroke.

"So you went in and out, and managed to dig out an ancestor of the Sword Sect?"

"Yes, what are you looking at?"

Li climbed onto Zhang Ze's head, twisting it to one side, "I want to eat that."

"Two servings of roasted pig trotters."

"Four servings, with extra spice."

"Don't eat on my head."

"But don't you often say only by broadening one's horizon can one be considered cultured?"

"..."

After eating their fill of pig trotters and chatting casually for a while, one person and one dragon returned to the inn.

...

Wei Zhuang had already been waiting there. This time he had changed his appearance again, his white hair had been dyed black, and his robe was switched for a new set, resembling a wealthy young man.

However, Wei Zhuang was evidently not interested in playing a childlike role like Conan, speaking now with a manner beyond his years.

Li couldn't help but glance several times.

"I have something to speak with you." Wei Zhuang glanced at Li on Zhang Ze's shoulder before continuing.

"If you have any instructions, please feel free, senior."

"Not instructions, just a token of gratitude." Wei Zhuang said, "Awaking from a dream ultimately is a favor, I'll agree to do one thing for you if it's within my capabilities."

Zhang Ze did not decline and immediately began thinking.

Only, he currently lacked nothing and had no enemies, for a moment he really couldn't think of what to ask for.

But after pondering for a long time, he still figured, there seemed to be something only Wei Zhuang, the Sword Sect uncle-grandfather, could handle...

Zhang Ze, decision made, looked up, staring at the adult-like Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang looked at Zhang Ze smiling, "What mischievous idea are you plotting again?"

Wei Zhuang remembered, in the dream, Zhang Ze always had this expression when he was about to do something mischievous.

Zhang Ze smiled innocently, "What mischief, it's all good deeds, the disciple really has a request, it's a delightful matter."

"Here's the deal..."

....

Jing State Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion here wasn't much different from Cyan Thorn; if one had to say there was a difference, it was that it was much cooler.

For one, there was no village nor store nearby, pure classical immortal hero style. Secondly, it was due to Chen Qin's second sister, the Pavilion Master here had a personality fond of quietness, so the Sword Pavilion atmosphere was likewise.

Unlike the bustling Cyan Thorn which felt like a big fair.

Zhang Ze sat at the mountaintop, leaning against Chen Qin.

The two sneaked over here, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

Looking west, one could see the ancient relic discussed before, the one unearthed.

Rather than saying it's an underground palace, it's more like half a tower, which has now been half cleared, but the other half is still nestled in the mountain.

There's a large part underground as well.

As for what it contains inside, no one knows.

"Senior brother, can it happen?" Chen Qin leaned on Zhang Ze's shoulder and asked.

"Of course it can happen, after all, a daughter married off is like water spilled away, grown daughters can't be kept by their father." Zhang Ze embraced his junior sister.

"You're annoying...won't my father get angry?"

"Rest assured, I've already prepared a strategy, and I'm not doing any bad deeds, just don't want to be divided often. And junior sister still remembers the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' story I told you?"

"Which version? Was it the Diao Chan Forbidden City versus The Invincible East, or the Yellow Turban Rebellion one?"

"The Yellow Turban version, there's a phrase called 'holding the Emperor to command the nobles', do you remember?"

"I remember, senior brother you wouldn't threaten me, would you? My father would chop you off."

"Absolutely not, why would I threaten you, I plan to cooperate with an elder."

"And then?"

"Just wait." With that, Zhang Ze picked up a small walnut, looked at the unspoken words on it.

"[Old Ascender, I took your daughter away, don't disturb.]"

Thinking about it, he decided to delete that message.

Changed it to "[Sect Leader, the disciple has important news to report, waiting for you at Jing State Sword Pavilion.]"

"Off it goes."

Zhang Ze sent out the message.
