Chapter 367: Chapter 256 The Secret History of the Two Old Ascenders_3
Many locations are marked above.
The Six Sects govern the East Continent, each with their own responsibilities.
Celestial Sect and Medicine King Valley guard the Central Continent border. Beast Taming Sect, Dragon Tiger Mountain, and Sword Sect manage various regions of the East Continent.
The Buddhist Sect guards the East Sea.
"Do you have a way to find that thing?" Chen Qianhu asked.
"Give me that Golden Core, I’ll give it a try."
Lu Yuzhou reached out, naturally referring to Zhang Ze’s Golden Core.
"How do you know I have a Golden Core?"
"Your daughter told me. Hurry up, I won’t harm you." Lu Yuzhou urged.
Chen Qianhu looked at Lu Yuzhou but did not hand over Zhang Ze’s Golden Core.
To be honest, Chen Qianhu trusted the woman’s abilities but did not really trust her character.
Her personality was highly problematic.
Who knows if she’d swallow that Golden Core whole and then threaten him, demanding a declaration of love to spit it out again.
Because this woman had a history.
She really did such things as a child.
They grew up together, and if her personality wasn’t so indescribable, he wouldn’t have run away...
"Just casting, I’ll hold onto it since after all it’s our Sword Sect disciple’s Golden Core." Old Ascender ultimately didn’t give it up.
Lu Yuzhou snorted coldly, didn’t press further, and instead stared blankly at the round Golden Core in Chen Qianhu’s hand.
After a while, she waved her hand, "Let’s go, let’s go, after I find your son-in-law, I’ll notify you."
Putting aside her personality, when it came to ability, this Celestial Sect Leader, who shared the title of world’s number one with Chen Qianhu, was quite reassuring.
If she said she could do it, then she could.
Moreover, since that thing was indeed related to the Eastern and Western wars, the Ghost City it carried was also intriguing.
Chen Qianhu nodded to Lu Yuzhou and turned to leave.
Experience had taught him never to say a single good word to this woman.
Pitying her was cruelty to himself.
After Chen Qianhu left, the hall, now empty, was once again covered by the starry sky. With movements of Lu Yuzhou’s hand, golden threads were extracted from the surrounding stars and subsequently condensed into a round Golden Core.
Identical to Zhang Ze’s.
The Golden Core soaked in the starry sky, attempting to establish a connection with Zhang Ze under the influence of the array.
Judging by the progress, it would likely take some time.
"What kind of person, can have multiple Golden Cores? Where did Chen Qianhu find such a son-in-law?"
After complaining, Lu Yuzhou left the hall, and at the moment she stepped out, she...
...changed nothing.
In fact, since her earlier banter with Chen Qianhu, Lu Yuzhou’s expression hasn’t changed, remaining just as it usually was.
She spoke the most abstract words and did the most abstract things with that emotionless pretty poker face...
After contemplating before the Star Disc in the grand hall for a moment, Lu Yuzhou summoned the apprentice she favored most and who had the best chance of inheriting her teachings.
Lu Ning.
"Master, you called me." Lu Ning said softly.
"Go notify your senior brothers and sisters, tell them an Innate Tao Embryo may have appeared, get them moving."
"Yes."
"Also, that incident in Wind Chime City forty years ago was overseen by Senior Brother Xie, right? Tell him he’s lost a hundred years of salary."
"Yes."
"The last thing." Lu Yuzhou patted the apprentice she treated like a daughter on the shoulder, "This task I can only entrust to you! In one year, make that boy named Zhang Ze fall madly in love with you! You must win him over! I can lose, but my disciple cannot lose!"
Lu Ning’s expression showed a slight change at this, she remained silent for a long time before responding.
"Yes..."
After replying, seemingly unwilling to stay any longer, she turned and left quickly, her shoulders appearing to tremble slightly...
Crying?
Anger at having her life manipulated by elders without feeling?
Determination to kill Zhang Ze to clear her name?
Not at all.
A yandere apprentice could not be a normal person.
After completing the tasks assigned by her master, Lu Ning returned to her dwelling.
She unlocked the array and entered her cave mansion, proceeded downward until she stopped at the entrance to the deepest secret chamber.
Taking a deep breath.
After disabling all restrictions, she went inside and lit the lamp.
The room was large, yet cramped, because it was filled with things related to Zhang Ze.
Stacks of various versions of "Taoist Path to Heaven," even some handwritten manuscripts.
Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifacts produced by Thousand Mechanism Pavilion were everywhere.
The walls were adorned with swords of the Sword Sect’s outer disciples and several sets of what appeared to be worn Sword Sect disciple clothing...
Portraits of Zhang Ze, photos taken by Bai Tao, video recordings captured by magical artifacts, even a life-size model...
Almost every place in the room captured Zhang Ze from different angles, seemingly bought from different people.
The entire room was almost impossible to step into.
Everything was Zhang Ze.
As a devoted reader, Lu Ning was even more twisted than Bai Tao, who only wanted the author’s books, while Lu Ning wanted the author’s body.
Such twisted behavior started a long time ago, and today’s order from her master was right up her alley.
"I clearly came first, I was the first reader, why?"
"What does that little girl have that’s better than me."
"The book said the one from heaven would definitely win over the childhood friend."
"Heh, hehe... Junior Brother, you smell so good." Lu Ning inhaled deeply while holding the old clothing.
And Zhang Ze, who was unaware of being obsessed over by a twisted individual, was also contemplating life at this moment.
Trouble.
