Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

As for Bai Wanjun, she is even more heavyweight; when negotiating business, she adapts and evolves to meet challenges, no matter your style, she will quickly get into rhythm with you.

The two are currently repeating a question over and over.

Just like the female Little Ghost.

And for some reason, there is a feeling that the two seem to be enjoying it.

Zhang Ze and Bai Tao are sitting to the side; Zhang Ze has already shut off his hearing, now lost in thought on how to revise the Spirit Communication Fist.

Meanwhile, Bai Tao picks up and puts down that fox mask, wrestling internally with whether to shove the mask onto her eldest niece's face or smash it onto her eldest niece's face.

Just as she is about to make up her mind, Zhang Ze transmits a thought to her.

"Ask your manager about it; she should be the one to make this decision."

Previously, the filter through which Zhang Ze viewed Bai Wanjun hadn't broken; he thought she was one of the managers of Zhendong Trading Company. But now, seeing Bai Wanjun already half-converted into Lily, he realized he was wrong.

If all of Zhendong Trading Company is like this, they're doomed.

With Zhang Ze's reminder, Bai Tao suddenly remembered why the two of them were here, and her task was to control her excited eldest niece.

Bai Tao puts on the fox mask and whispers something.

And Zhang Ze, looking at Bai Tao with the mask on, is momentarily stunned.

He feels as though he has seen it somewhere before.

But before he could ask, that sense of familiarity quickly disappears as if it never existed, and Bai Tao takes off the mask.

She raises her hand and the fox mask flies into the air on its own.

"Stop."

The voice of a truly dominant female CEO.

With just one word, like a magical one, Bai Wanjun immediately falls silent.

Even Lily instinctively stops her babbling, shrinking her neck and looking at the mask.

With the two people quiet, the mask turns to Bai Wanjun, "You and Bai Tao stay here for now, I'll discuss the specifics when I arrive."

Having said that, the mask flies back into Bai Tao's hand.

Lily and Bai Wanjun exchange a glance as it quiets down.

"You drink tea." x2

...

Thousand Mechanism Pavilion is a large and prosperous establishment; naturally, clients coming for business trips are given top-notch hospitality. Bai Tao has been enjoying her stay very much—one, her eldest niece is busy earning money to pay small loans, and won't bother her, and two, she can always go find Zhang Ze to pester him for the next installment.

This morning, Bai Tao is absentmindedly flipping through a book on the Thousand Mechanism Heart Method when Li climbs over the wall and sneaks in.

It mysteriously approaches Bai Tao and asks.

"There's good stuff, want to come?"

"What good stuff?" Bai Tao looked at Li, feeling that Li seemed odd today.

"The Jade Book Tower has completed its upgrade early; there's an internal testing today, want to come." Li strolls up to Bai Tao with hands behind its back.

Bai Tao sets down the book and looks east towards the imposing tower, contemplating for a moment before nodding.

"Alright."

Since I'm already here, scaling the tower isn't a big deal.

However, this time entering the Jade Book Tower was not through the main entrance, but via a Seal Ring.

With the ring on, Bai Tao and Li are directly transported into the Jade Book Tower.

The books of the Jade Book Tower were not for Bai to see, deeply grasping the essence of Main God Space.

When Bai Tao came to her senses, she found herself standing in a white room devoid of decoration.

The walls and floor of the room were made from some elastic material, and as Bai Tao was looking around, the Seal Ring on her hand slightly shone with a red light.

A countdown timer appeared on the wall.

Simultaneously, in another room.

Li, with hands behind its back, looks at the countdown on the wall, giving a crooked grin.

Smiling just like Zhang Ze.
