As an elder sister, Li Yueqi originally planned to let Li Jue lose big again to teach him a lesson. Hence, she bet everything on Zhang Ze being alright, yet unexpectedly, Zhang Ze was indeed alright. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

'Should we keep the money for him first, and return it when he grows up?'

While Li Yueqi was pondering, Li Jue's little walnut popped up.

"How's it? How's it? What's Zhang brother's situation? Is he seriously injured?"

Li Yueqi looked at her brother's big face on the projection and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Your Zhang brother is perfectly fine, currently sleeping with Maomao." Li Yueqi glanced at Maomao who climbed onto Zhang Ze again.

Upon hearing this, Li Jue howled with despair, looking disgraceful like he'd never gamble again in his next life.

"What's with the howling? You won the bet; I bet Zhang Ze was fine." Li Yueqi rubbed her temples, only feeling a headache.

Li Jue, "Really?!"

Li Yueqi, "Really."

After a moment of silence, the howling turned into gleeful shrieks. Li Jue, who's gone from bicycle to motorcycle, was too excited to recognize himself and started babbling nonsense.

Saying, my sister is truly a gambling god, Master Dongze, next time let's get my sister to handle things.

Saying, Zhang brother isn't dead yet; truly a person blessed with great fortune. Someday I need to learn the secrets from him; maybe I can start a harem and have fun.

But as soon as these words came out, Li Jue's face suddenly turned green, while gentle hands wrapped around his neck.

Li Jue's childhood friend, and soon-to-be wife, Xia Yan appeared from behind him.

With a cross-style grip, she pinned Li Jue's head down, then with a click, she put the already poisoned Li Jue down on the ground.

Li Yueqi, "Is he dead?"

Xia Yan, "No need to worry, sister, Li Jue is fine, he's just asleep. By the way, could I trouble you to keep those winnings for now? As for when to return them, let's discuss later."

With that, Xia Yan ended her connection on the little walnut.

Looking at Li Jue's gray icon that no longer jumped about, Li Yueqi only mourned for him for a second, then stopped mourning, shifting her thoughts to Zhang Ze's last "words".

Looking at Zhang Ze who is now being squashed by Maomao and starting to have nightmares, Li Yueqi pondered over that sentence.

Maybe it'll come in handy when I mess up someday.

But, what does it mean that only magic can defeat magic, only Old Ascender can defeat Old Ascender?

And who is this old man?

...

Although got whacked in the end, Zhang Ze indeed made sense, only Old Ascender can defeat Old Ascender.

It's just that while saying it seemed easy, choosing which Old Ascender to act posed quite the scholarly question.

Like this time.

Beast Taming Sect and Medicine King Valley wouldn't do, because both are very busy now, somewhat inconvenient.

Old Mr. Li is busy disciplining his son, Valley Master Qin is dealing with a "rebellion".

Tang is quite idle, but Taoist does what he wants. If the impulse hits, pulls off a pacifying grand plan, losing Zhang Ze and igniting conflict, they might as well just pack it up and lose.

Sister Wang has the same situation, her identity is somewhat sensitive, easily stirs trouble.

As for Master Konghai of the Buddhist Sect...

This matter shouldn't trouble the old master; it isn't suitable.

So after considering all options, the only fitting person left is Lu Yuzhou, Grand Sect Leader Lu.

...

Main Pavilion of Sword Sect.

Mo Jingchun looked at the woman before her, feeling quite annoyed yet unable to drive her away.

In truth, because Zhang Ze was so incredible, her original punishment towards him changed from skinning him alive to seeing where this brat's limits lie.

She never expected this brat could resist her Sword Intent across several realms for so long.

As for such a tactile wooden block, Mo Jingchun hadn't seen anything like it in her life.

Thus, after focusing the Sword Intent on Zhang Ze, she was actually being quite cautious, applying pressure little by little, wanting to see where Zhang Ze's limits would be.

Unfortunately, just when the answer was about to be revealed, it was interrupted by Lu Yuzhou, that old woman.

"Do you have something to do? If not, then go about your business, stop wandering around my place."

Mo Jingchun flipped her hand and tidied up all the tea sets on the table, suggesting you should leave, the farther the better.

Sect Leader Lu seemed used to it, didn't care, ignored this eviction order, and casually sat down on the opposite side of the table.

She didn't mention Zhang Ze's matter, didn't stir trouble, didn't persuade, nor did she exploit it to talk about her own issues, but uncharacteristically mentioned some official business.

During the time Zhang Ze was attending a meeting at the Golden Lotus, the world didn't stop turning.

"The observation deck in Chang State has been completed, and the location of the Main Helm of Hundred Demons Sect has been confirmed.

"It's a big place, although your man hasn't been found yet, it'll be a matter of days.

"Celestial Master Cheng from Dragon Tiger Mountain is currently analyzing the arm that descended from the sky, trying to see if its trajectory can be restored, or if it could be restarted.

"Regarding the information Zhang Ze brought out from the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm about Earth Sea, I'm still reading, though haven't understood yet..."

Mo Jingchun coughed lightly, interrupting Lu Yuzhou's rambling, "Tell me something I don't know."

"Things you don't know, well there are plenty..." Lu Yuzhou played coy, and timed it perfectly before Mo Jingchun drew her sword, to speak up.

"The method to bring back Chen Qianhu has been thought up by Zhang Ze, likely in a few days your man will descend from heaven."

With that said, Lu Yuzhou ignored Mo Jingchun's strange look, got up and snatched two cans of tea leaves from the cabinet, and while Mo Jingchun hadn't reacted, vanished as a ray of starlight.
