Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 510 - 308: Taisui is as abundant as the ocean, love asserts itself in the buttocks_3
He planned to ask Fuji after getting out, to see if she had ever come across this thing called Decaying Leaves while digging holes...
Decaying Leaves... huh?
Zhang Ze sprayed a mouthful of tea.
Decaying Leaves are no other than Fuji!
He had just been misled by Bai Xiaosheng’s description and hadn’t thought about Fuji at all.
How could my lovely Fuji possibly be a sinister demon?
But then again, what did this Golden Core elder want with Fuji?
While Zhang Ze was pondering, Bai Xiaosheng handed him a handkerchief.
"My lord? I..." Bai Xiaosheng, unsure of where he had misspoken, timidly asked, fearing he had upset his lord.
"It’s nothing, nothing, don’t mind me. I just choked on myself." Zhang Ze said, wiping his mouth with the handkerchief.
After the attendants came to clean up the table and took away the wobbling Taisui, Zhang Ze turned to Young Master Xiao.
"Young Master Xiao, surely your visit to our White Jade County isn’t just to deliver an Exotic Treasure to me, is it? Please feel free to speak of the true matter at hand."
No sooner had Zhang Ze spoken than Chong Sanchun, who had been pursing his lips on the side, interjected.
"Ha, to visit someone’s home without introducing oneself and to amuse my lord with such filthy things, I think there’s nothing more to discuss."
"Fatty, don’t be rude." Bai Xiaosheng reprimanded.
"Sect Leader Chong is right, it was indeed my impoliteness." Young Master Xiao was undisturbed as he rose and bowed to Zhang Ze.
"I am Xiao Qingyun from the Xiao Family of Southern Chen, specializing in Artifact Refining, and today I have come to White Jade County for a significant matter."
Upon hearing this name, Zhang Ze sat up a little straighter.
Because the founding Emperor of Dongqi was also named Xiao Qingyun.
It looks like the main drama is about to unfold.
The history of the founding years of Dongqi has long become blurred.
First, because of the long ago time, and second, because the royal family has heavily glorified it.
Many things from back then have become vague, such as many who started the rebellion with Xiao Qingyun eventually disappearing without a trace.
Dongqi’s historical records do not mention them, as if those people vanished.
If the core secret of this Illusion Realm is to enact that period of history...
Then my role as the Golden Core elder could very well be one of those who disappeared from history.
Although Xiao Qingyun’s entrepreneurial path and founding history are already legendary...
What does this have to do with the calamity at the end of Dongqi and the Human Emperor Banner?
And why would the last Emperor hide the secret in this form within the Illusion Realm?
... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Zhang Ze now had a rough understanding of the Illusion Realm.
If you want to know the secret within the Illusion Realm, the only way is to push the plot forward.
He glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, who instantly got the message and signaled irrelevant people to leave and rest.
The jailer, who brought the Little Earth Immortal, quickly put down the cage and ran out.
Next went some county officials, guest cultivators, and a few disciples of Chong Sanchun.
Once most people had gone, Chong Sanchun walked over to Li Guanqi and said boldly.
"Old man, let’s go. Big brother needs to discuss business. I’ll accompany you for a stroll outside."
Li, who had been enjoying the show on the side, was stunned for a moment, "You’re going out too?"
Chong Sanchun scratched his head, "I don’t like listening to schemes and conspiracy, and it’s no use listening. That white-haired fellow alone is enough for trouble."
Li, "..."
"Sanchun, this old man is not an outsider, treat him as my own grandfather." Zhang Ze said.
"Ah?... Oh, since you’re big brother’s grandfather, then you’re also my grandfather. Sanchun apologizes to you."
After pouring a cup of tea for Li, Chong Sanchun said his goodbyes, "Then, Grandfather, I’m leaving."
At the door, Chong Sanchun even took the Little Earth Immortal with him, thinking it quite amusing.
Li was somewhat speechless about what "Grandfather, I’m leaving" even meant.
Who is whose grandfather, though in truth, having this person as an ancestor is actually adequate.
But such a shrewd and silly person is indeed bothersome.
Because it’s hard to tell whether he spoke too quickly without pausing or was being sarcastic.
After all the pets, clever fools, and unrelated people had left...
Xiao Qingyun spoke, "I have come here for one thing."
Zhang Ze, "Please speak."
Xiao Qingyun got straight to the point, "An alliance."
Zhang Ze thought it was as he expected, gesturing for Xiao Qingyun to continue.
"The Ten Kingdoms are in chaos, Noble Families are self-governing, and sects divide land as kings; this is a sign of the coming troubled times.
"With the impending storm, no one can remain untouched. Preparing early is the perfect plan. I..."
Xiao Qingyun spoke sincerely because he had gathered much information about this White Jade County Magistrate before coming here.
He knew him to be a capable person, kind-hearted and an achiever.
With such a person, he believed speaking clearly and frankly would suffice.
Xiao Qingyun prided himself on knowing people and did not think he would fail.
But he had only spoken half when Zhang Ze abruptly motioned with his hand, saying, "You don’t have to say anymore."
Xiao Qingyun was momentarily stunned, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes.
Is this it?
He didn’t expect this person to be so shortsighted. Does he really think he can stay uncontaminated in the forthcoming chaos?
Xiao Qingyun didn’t say more, preparing instead for pleasantries and taking his leave, but was suddenly pulled back by Zhang Ze.
He tensed, thinking Zhang Ze was going to strike, but was surprised when Zhang Ze said, "Why are you leaving? I didn’t say I wouldn’t join the alliance."
"Then what?" the young Xiao Qingyun asked, puzzled.
"What I mean is, you don’t need to say so much, I’ll join." Zhang Ze looked innocently at Xiao Qingyun with a misunderstood and hurt expression, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Qingyun, "..."
Who is really in a hurry here? You wouldn’t even let me finish talking.
Xiao Qingyun felt a bit speechless but quickly regained his composure.
"Since Brother Zhang has agreed, this alliance..."
Xiao Qingyun just began to speak generally about the alliance when Zhang Ze again interrupted halfway.
"Don’t you worry I’m tricking you? What if I’m deceiving you for information?" Zhang Ze asked concernedly.
Xiao Qingyun, "..."
He suddenly doubted his intelligence, questioning whether he had truly misjudged the person.
Who interacts like that?
"I..." Xiao Qingyun momentarily didn’t know what to say.
As Zhang Ze prepared to further tease this founding emperor of Dongqi, Li cleared his throat gently.
The implication was to stop messing around and get to business.
Zhang Ze obediently closed his mouth, signaling Xiao Qingyun to continue.
Xiao Qingyun, truly a man of determination, realigned his mindset once more.
"Brother Zhang jests, but I have heard of the integrity of the White Jade County Magistrate. He wouldn’t take to such petty acts. I have come alone because I trust Brother Zhang."
After making these ceremonial words, Xiao Qingyun continued on the matters of the alliance Zhang Ze had interrupted.
"This alliance is not a secret in Southern Chen at this point.
"Apart from my Xiao family, there is also the Feiyu Sword Sect from Southern Chen, the Chen Family.
"The Celestial Sect, the Lu Family, the Gu Mountain faction
"The Liushan Wolf Race, the Wang Family..."
As Zhang Ze listened, he felt as if they were all familiar faces.
Especially the Feiyu Sword Sect and the Chen Family.
They sounded so familiar.
Once Xiao Qingyun had finished speaking, uninterrupted this time, Zhang Ze suddenly stood up, startling Li.
"What is it?" Xiao Qingyun asked, confused as he looked at Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze, "When does the alliance start? Where is it? Should we go now? Want me to fly you there?"
Zhang Ze warmly grasped Xiao Qingyun’s hand, seeming as though he couldn’t wait to leave.
Xiao Qingyun, "..."
Is there really no problem with him?
Maybe... the alliance should be reconsidered...
