Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 448 - 287: No Issues Today, All Are Misunderstandings_3

Chapter 448: Chapter 287: No Issues Today, All Are Misunderstandings_3

"It’s Li Jue!" Li Yueqi defended, looking at Lily who misunderstood something.

"Li Jue?" Lily’s expression became even stranger, "Brother Li Jue was just with us. He’s going to West Continent, so he asked Zhang Ze for the contact information of that Daxiong from West Continent, and we just had dinner together."

"Where is he now?"

"He left, used Earth Vein Transmission to go back to the Beast Taming Sect, and now he’s probably already on the Flying Ship, vanished..."

Li Yueqi felt a bit bewildered, wondering why everything today seemed so strange.

It’s all just coincidences.

If the white figure she saw just now wasn’t Li Jue, then who was it? And why was there no one at Fried Shide just now?

She felt like someone had played a trick on her.

"Where did you all go just now? Why was there no one at Fried Shide?" Li Yueqi asked.

"Fried Shide’s major cleaning, full automatic cleaning, it’s a regular monthly event. We all went out for a gathering."

"That can’t be right; I remember someone being there, a Cat Lady on the first floor..." Li Yueqi said.

"Oh, you mean the Emperor? She drew a red stick, stayed to watch the house. I just came back after eating to switch with her. She just left, what’s the matter."

"Where did she go?"

"I don’t know, she didn’t say where she was going to play."

Dead end.

Li Yueqi was silent, suddenly realizing she was in a situation where she couldn’t explain herself, and the more she talked, the worse it got.

She stopped saying more, shook her head, and went past Lily, leaving Fried Shide.

"Someone broke in, it was another person." Li Yueqi said as she left.

No matter who sneaked in, Li Yueqi was definitely going to catch that person and give them a good pinch.

...

On a mountain near Thousand Mechanism Town, at the bottom of a deep pool under a waterfall, a pigeon egg-sized pearl was emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

Lu Ning was hiding inside, holding Lily’s golden battle suit, admiring it.

"Ah, gloomy places suit me best; I was almost caught, what a close call."

"Luckily I have the Magical Artifact my master gave me."

"The clothes worn by Little Junior Brother, hehe..."

Lu Ning had been plotting the golden battle suit Zhang Ze gave to Lily since yesterday. During the day, she had recorded the structure of the clothing.

Afterwards, she worked overtime to create a convincing fake.

The clothes were valuable but had no additional Array on them, so Lu Ning skillfully crafted a replica in a day and a half.

Moreover, she found that observing Zhang Ze from a close distance wasn’t as exhilarating as hiding in a dark corner and peering from afar, which thrilled her immensely.

"So cold, so dark, no one has discovered me... just me and this outfit... so happy..."

——End of a Segment of Fetish Enthusiast——

The next day.

There was a break today, no sparring.

It was a time for free communication.

Firstly, to let the cultivators who had been fighting for two days relax, and secondly, to allow them more time for private conversations.

After a few days, some people were nodding acquaintances, some became friends, and a small number became enemies.

Everyone needed some time to delve into deeper exchanges.

The Six Sects and some major sects under them started headhunting and angel investing activities.

For a while, the style of the Qinghe Association was shifted back a bit, becoming more traditional.

Li Yueqi walked on the street, still pondering yesterday’s events, the more she thought, the more something felt wrong.

"Could it be Zhang Ze? It doesn’t seem like it, but... I have to go ask him!"

The Female Hero Li acted on her words and went straight through the Teleportation Gate to Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, but didn’t find Zhang Ze.

Chen Qin, with Little Phoenix Rongrong on her head and Li in her arms, was sitting on a rockery in the courtyard, spacing out.

"Sister Qi is here." Chen Qin greeted.

"Um, I..." Li Yueqi suddenly felt awkward, but eventually, she asked, "Where’s Zhang Ze?"

"Senior Brother? My mom called him away. He should be at the back of Sword Pavilion now, what’s up?"

Li Yueqi took a deep breath and then recounted the strange incident at Fried Shide yesterday. However, she didn’t say it was Zhang Ze who planned it, just that she wanted to see if Zhang Ze had any ideas.

"Oh, that. I know, the Emperor already told us, someone invaded Thousand Mechanism Pavilion before you did. Lily is installing new magical artifacts there now." Chen Qin said.

"The Emperor?" Li Yueqi was puzzled, it was the second time she heard this term.

"That’s the Cat Lady, didn’t she ask you for fifty Spirit Stones?" Chen Qin said.

"Yes, I didn’t have time to give it then."

"That’s her; she’s the Emperor."

Li Yueqi didn’t understand and still felt confused, but she also felt debating was pointless.

"Uh, I just came to tell you about this, and now I’ll leave." Li Yueqi said vaguely, then turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

She arrived suddenly, and left suddenly.

...

At the Seventh Sword Pavilion, Zhang Ze received a sword from his mother-in-law.

Calling it a sword is like calling a branch.

It was one of those branches a man sees by the roadside and can’t move past.

Perfect shape, without a hint of artificial marks, naturally formed, a miracle of innate creation, smooth to the touch as if it had been handled for a long time.

"This branch is nice, where did you pick it up from, can I borrow it to play for two days?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ze twisted it a bit; the branch was exceptionally flexible, couldn’t be broken at all.

Mo Jingchun put down his teacup and said, "I’m giving it to you for use, but not for play."

"What is it for?" Zhang Ze asked.

"For serious matters, and it’s not just a branch from the roadside; this is the Divine Sword Jiu Ke of our Sword Sect."

Zhang Ze froze for a moment, "Jiu... Ke?"

His hand slipped, and the rebounding branch hit his face directly.

Slap!

Zhang Ze squatted down, holding his face, staring at the branch in hand in disbelief.
