Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

"Why?"

[He says you have no martial ethics]

"So how long am I banned from entering?"

[Three months]

Zhang Ze looked at the message in front of him, snorted softly, and thought to himself.

"Ha, garbage game. I found the bug with my skills, but they won't let me use it and banned my account."

The artifact spirit of the Jade Book Tower didn't know what Zhang Ze was mumbling in his heart. If it did, it would definitely change the ban from three months to permanent.

Although its memories were as lacking as the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror, the artifact spirit of the Jade Book Tower could still recall some parts of its own glorious past.

The Jade Book Tower it resided in back then wasn't this one, but the Golden List Jade Book Tower in the Imperial College, specifically prepared for the great exams.

Back then, anyone who entered for a trial was a genius young man, surrounded by eight hundred examiners supervising. Who would dare to cause trouble?

But now, time has changed dramatically. After being awakened by a very familiar mirror, it only remembered one command: to guard this tower and await someone destined to reach the top.

As for what was on the top floor, it didn't know either.

Initially seeing Zhang Ze's close relationship with the mirror, it thought he was someone of upright character.

But unexpectedly, this person turned out to be so despicable!

It was intolerable that its dignified Jade Book Tower was oppressed by such a sneaky brat!

This cannot be tolerated. It must educate him on behalf of his elders!

Angry!

In conclusion, after venting its temper, the Jade Book Tower didn't directly suppress Zhang Ze in the tower, but let him leave to reflect and return for an audience in three months.

Due to Zhang Ze's involvement, Chen Qin was also delighted to receive a fourteen-day ban.

Now, Chen Qin was sulking, lightly kicking Zhang Ze's heel.

Though she too wanted to follow and pick up leaks, after unsuccessfully asking the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror to speak on their behalf, the two had to end their brief illusion realm journey for the time being. But just as they were leaving the Jade Book Tower, Zhang Ze suddenly turned back and asked.

"I have another question, as a junior."

The silent Jade Book Tower had a gentle breeze, seemingly waiting for Zhang Ze to speak.

"You are clearly a tower, so why are you called the Jade Book Tower?"

No sooner were Zhang Ze's words out than the breeze in the hall stuttered, followed by a gale that directly blew Zhang Ze away...

Clearly, this question touched on the Jade Book Tower's blind spot in knowledge.

[This boy is unruly. Really want to see who his master is!] thought the Jade Book Tower.

—— This marks the beginning of my banned journey ——

After appeasing his junior sister, Zhang Ze leisurely went to find his master.

After making inquiries, Zhang Ze found his master, Li Guanqi, near the rear lake along with his uncle master Wang Buyu.

And Tang.

The three old men were drinking tea and chatting by the lake, looking very relaxed.

Seeing Tang also here, Zhang Ze didn't plan to approach, but unexpectedly, his master directly pulled him over.

"What are you sneaking around for?"

"Disciple has a situation to report, about the Jade Book Tower." Zhang Ze glanced at Tang beside him and said.

"What's wrong with that tower? Have you demolished it?"

Li turned around and looked, but the tower called the Jade Book Tower was still standing, unchanged.

Zhang Ze organized his words a bit and elaborately described the recent fantastical journey in the Jade Book Tower, while artistically glossing over his account ban.

"That tower is quite rigid about rules, after all. Among the Seventh Sword Pavilion members, besides the Pavilion Master, Master, you are the most upright, and it is said that one can fix their attire before a mirror. Disciple takes you as a model, I..."

"Get to the point, cut the flattery." Li lightly coughed, stopping Zhang Ze's praise.

"I just want to ask you for help to pass the first stage of that tower." Zhang Ze said.

Li didn't speak, and Mr. Silence pinched his tri-layered chin, assessing Zhang Ze up and down.

He felt this boy still had something unsaid.

But before Li could agree or Zhang Ze could continue to persuade, Tang, who was listening all along, suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Boy, let me go in for a look as the Taoist."

Zhang Ze looked at Tang speechlessly, "Is this okay? That's the Ancestral Master."

Tang rubbed his hands, "I'm not going against the Ancestral Master, if I weren't I'd not go, this is a rare opportunity, lead the way quickly."

Seeing Tang so enthusiastic, Wang Buyu also smiled at Li Guanqi, "Let's go have a look."

"Let's go!"

In no time, Zhang Ze led the group near the Jade Book Tower, but he didn't proceed, instead letting the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror lead the way.

Li suspiciously stared at Zhang Ze for a while, but without asking further, followed the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror into the Jade Book Tower.

Apparently the Jade Book Tower had regained some of its authority and became more alert.

This time, it didn't directly let Tang and the others in.

Instead, three translucent scrolls appeared out of thin air before them, with some questions on them.

Where do you live, which sect are you affiliated with, who is your master, who are your disciples...

All in all, very detailed questions.

Though inexplicable, since none of this was secret, the three answered truthfully.

After filling out the questionnaire, Li suddenly felt the temperature around him drop a few degrees.

A vague sense of being targeted?

But before he could ponder further, he along with Tang and Wang Buyu entered into the Jade Book Illusion Realm...
