Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 731 - 380: Nothing to Do Today, Let’s Tear Down the House_2

Fortunately, at that time, the Zhendong Trading Company stepped in generously, not only sealing a major deal to resolve the urgent crisis but also providing Zhang Ze with a substantial additional investment.

And the one who came here to discuss business and invest in Zhang Ze, sitting with an urn, was none other than Sister Wang, Wang Siwen...

"Huh? Did you all know I was Zhang Ze back then?" Zhang Ze said in astonishment.

Although the words were a bit convoluted, Yuqing understood what Zhang Ze meant, yet she shook her head.

"At that time, we were still uncertain because we had been disappointed too many times.

"For a long time, Siwen and the White Emperor had been looking for you, but in such a vast world, many have similar appearances, some even blessed with great fortune and connected with the Star God.

"But none of them were you.

"So when you gained fame in the East Continent, we were merely suspicious until..."

"Until I found my diary in the Jade Book Illusion Realm?" Zhang Ze asked.

Many of the tasks with 'that old thing' originated from White Emperor City. It seems that particular task given by 'that old thing' was a test.

Meanwhile, Miemie and the old thing were the backup plan. If I were not Zhang Ze, then the diary would have been retrieved by Miemie and sent back to White Emperor City.

"Yes." Yuqing nodded. "After confirming that you were Zhang Ze, we originally planned to invite you to White Emperor City immediately, but Sister Wang changed her mind midway."

Zhang Ze, "Changed her mind?"

Yuqing, "That's right, she suddenly approached me, saying there were matters to ponder over, thus temporarily postponing the meeting with you, citing something to discuss, and kept me at White Emperor City."

Yuqing, "Since that day, she became anxious, as if she was hiding something from me until one night she came to me and told me something."

"What was it?" In the battle for the spotlight, Tuntun couldn't help but act as the foil again.

Yuqing, "She told me the Northern Territory's Great Wall was going to collapse."

"You knew about this beforehand?" Zhang Ze was somewhat surprised.

Yuqing shook her head, then nodded, "Not really beforehand, just half an hour before the collapse, I learned this from Siwen."

Zhang Ze, "And then you...?"

Yuqing gave Zhang Ze a peculiar look, "I merely suggested offhandedly, since you had awoken, why not invite you to discuss the matter together.

"I just mentioned it in passing, intending to rest awhile in the side chamber, letting Siwen decide, but unexpectedly that crazy woman tried to grab my tail."

Yuqing spread her hands, "You know, our Fox Race's tails cannot be touched without permission, they're very sensitive..."

Tuntun, "So you flared up, huh..."

Zhang Ze reached out and removed the yolk from Tuntun, returned it to the old thing, then held the disgruntled Tuntun in his arms, nodding to indicate Yuqing to continue.

"Pretty much, it's not wrong." Yuqing sighed, "I did flare up, considering that big dog was behaving oddly lately, I instinctively wanted to distance myself from her, and then it all turned out like that..."

Yuqing sighed again, recalling the time she was defeated in one move.

Although there are differences even between the same level, she hadn't expected the disparity to be so large.

"After biting me, she activated the Pole Star Array in White Emperor City, placing me in the array's focal point, creating this aurora over the Extreme North Icefield."

Yuqing finished speaking, muttering softly, "Such things could have been communicated directly; I wouldn't have disagreed, biting me was quite unnecessary and painful."

After complaining, Yuqing continued, "I thought the big dog had gone mad, but it turned out she had a plan. Immediately after the collapse of the Great Wall, she sent people to activate her prior arrangements, only unexpectedly..."

"The Six Sects took action." Zhang Ze said.

Yuqing, "Yes, after the Six Sects acted to stabilize the situation for the Demon Race, she withdrew her people back, subsequently staying holed up in White Emperor City without contacting you, nor releasing me from the Pole Star Array, persisting to the present."

"So you understand now, young master, this is why I do not recommend you go to White Emperor City; that crazy dog doesn't want to see you."

Zhang Ze, rubbing his chin and contemplating the information in Yuqing's words, though impolite, thought of Maomao.

Every time Maomao caused trouble, she would hide herself for a while, just like...

Forget it, thinking further would be truly impolite.

"Is there a way to contact White Emperor City now?" Zhang Ze felt that all misunderstandings should be cleared up in person.

Yuqing, "No, White Emperor City has cut off communications with the outside world, entering a state of lockdown, even I cannot contact it, unless the big dog brings me down from the sky.

"And I still don't recommend you head over there now.

"After all, things are actually pretty good now; the Great Wall is fine. We might as well wait here, until that crazy dog changes her mind, then we can go."

Zhang Ze gazed at Yuqing, for some reason feeling the words were very familiar.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ze remembered this was the catchphrase of Yuqing's ancestor, Bai Xiaosheng.

'We might as well wait here; the enemy army will surrender in a few days.'

'We might as well wait here; in a couple of days Sect Leader Lu won't be angry anymore.'

...

This delay technique seems to be an innate skill of the Bai family, a Bloodline Limit.

Upon reflection, Bai Tao seemed indeed like this, Zhang Ze recalled her most common saying was:

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Zhang Ze shook his head at Bai Yuqing, "Let's not wait any longer, I have a feeling something might go wrong if we keep waiting."
