Chapter 518 - 517: It’s Already Dark, Let’s Eat Something Else

Chapter 518: Chapter 517: It’s Already Dark, Let’s Eat Something Else

Jiang Zuo left Shi Qi’s residence and headed toward Holy Beast Lake. He didn’t plan on going directly to Jian Shisan, though.

He wanted to see if the Little Turtle had truly mastered the basics.

’After all this time, even an idiot should have grasped the basics, right?’

’Ignoring his past life, the Little Turtle was probably the first one in this life to learn the Mijie Sacred Image, right?’

Jiang Zuo was also quite curious to see what would happen.

After mastering the basics, taking the next step would trigger a celestial phenomenon.

’The Little Turtle will probably become famous then, won’t it?’

At least, among the Four Holy Beasts.

When he had learned it, he had also startled the Four Holy Beasts.

Of course, there weren’t many members of the Four Holy Beasts left by then, so it made little difference whether they were startled or not.

Soon, Jiang Zuo arrived at the shore of Holy Beast Lake. There, he saw a large whale fighting a turtle. Golden, energy-formed hands sprouted from the turtle’s back.

Jiang Zuo watched with great interest.

’I didn’t expect this huge whale to actually get caught and brought here.’

’Jian Shisan must have been the one.’

’But this turtle really is dumb.’

’To think it only grew hands.’

It had just barely managed to master the basics.

If the whale wasn’t intentionally holding back, the Little Turtle would be getting completely crushed.

Of course, if the whale dared to do so, it would be instantly reduced to ash.

A powerful strand of Jian Shisan’s Sword Qi remained inside its body.

It was also guaranteed not to harm anyone else.

’Jian Shisan is truly incredible. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a Supreme.’

Jiang Zuo glanced at the Little Turtle, then shook his head and left. ’Who knows how long it’ll take for it to become world-famous.’

’It should be quite lively then.’

After leaving, Jiang Zuo went straight to find Jian Shisan.

At that moment, Jian Shisan was speaking with Luo Ying.

"Are you talking about dealing with the Master of Curses?" Jian Shisan asked.

Luo Ying nodded. "Yes. We were primarily hoping for your help this time, Fellow Daoist."

Jian Shisan shook his head. "Within the Celestial Permanence Seven Veins, let’s not even talk about the other six. The Sword Cultivation Lineage alone must have plenty of great seniors, correct?"

"There should be quite a few who are far more powerful than I am, no?"

Luo Ying shook his head. "To be honest, Fellow Daoist, such people do exist. But when facing the Master of Curses, they are equally unable to contend with him."

"Is that so? I’ve heard that Tier Nine holds immense power, but I never expected that even they can’t contend with the Master of Curses," Jian Shisan mused.

"Tier Nine? That depends on what kind of Tier Nine. If you were to ascend to Tier Nine, killing him wouldn’t be difficult." Jiang Zuo’s voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

Jian Shisan wasn’t surprised by Jiang Zuo’s arrival. Instead, he asked, "Young friend, what brings you here?"

Luo Ying, however, was a little tense.

Jiang Zuo sighed. ’Shi Qi is so unreliable. She didn’t even tell Jian Shisan.’

Then Jiang Zuo said, "I got a little injured, and Su Qi was worried. She sent me over for you to take a look, mainly to see if there are any problems with my path in Magic."

Jian Shisan was speechless.

Finally, he asked, "Your injury hasn’t healed, and she found out?"

Jiang Zuo nodded. "More or less."

He then turned to Luo Ying. "The Master of Curses is not easy to kill. For you all, without the power of one who has Attained the Dao, you are not strong enough to eliminate him."

Luo Ying bowed his head respectfully. "Please enlighten me, Senior."

Jiang Zuo said, "Do a divination for me. Figure out how I can get past Su Qi and read her notebook."

Luo Ying: "???"

’Huh?’

He suddenly didn’t understand. ’What kind of request is this?’

’Besides, with his power, wouldn’t that be incredibly easy?’

Jiang Zuo asked, "You can’t do it?"

"I can, I can," Luo Ying immediately replied, then hesitated. "But... it involves you..."

"It’s fine. Do it," Jiang Zuo said.

"Please wait a moment." Luo Ying immediately stepped aside and began his divination.

Jian Shisan looked at Jiang Zuo, surprised.

He didn’t quite understand.

Jiang Zuo said calmly, "He knows too much. He should be able to see quite clearly that offending me leads to a bad end."

Jian Shisan nodded, then said, "About what happened at the Holy Land..."

"An accident," Jiang Zuo cut him off directly.

Jian Shisan said no more. That was what he had expected.

Jiang Zuo asked, "You’re the one who captured that whale?"

"It was a gift for Junior Sister. I thought that Little Whale was not bad," Jian Shisan said.

Jiang Zuo looked at Jian Shisan in surprise. This man actually gave Shi Qi a gift.

’Did he finally get a clue?’

Then Jian Shisan added, "However, it seemed Junior Sister wanted to give me a gift in return, so I refused."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’Fine. I have nothing more to say.’

’Let these two just keep dragging things on.’

"I can see that the Treasure Manual Little Xuanwu is cultivating with seems to be stirring the heavens and the earth. It’s about to happen soon, right?" Jian Shisan asked.

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "With the Little Turtle’s aptitude, it’s impossible for it to happen anytime soon."

"However, when it does happen, it will indeed attract the attention of some people, and other things will occur as well."

"It’s best not to let it run around."

Jian Shisan nodded.

"I’ve also heard recently that someone among the Four Holy Beasts has broken through their racial limitations."

Jiang Zuo said, "Just some ignorant Holy Beasts. They sit on a mountain of treasure, yet believe themselves to be poor."

Jian Shisan had nothing to say to that. Jiang Zuo’s perspective far surpassed his own, and there were many things he simply didn’t know.

Just then, Luo Ying returned, looking somewhat haggard.

Finally, he said apologetically, "There is... no solution."

Jiang Zuo nodded. ’That’s more like it.’

Jiang Zuo then turned to leave. ’Where there’s a will, there’s a way. If I go check now, maybe I can read a few more pages.’

Luo Ying watched Jiang Zuo leave, saying nothing.

He could only sigh to himself.

However, after taking a few steps, Jiang Zuo spoke without turning around. "You don’t need to worry about the Master of Curses. I will handle it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ying bowed deeply in gratitude.

’Once I Enter Dao, I’ll need to make a round of all the major powers in the world. Handling a few things along the way won’t be a problem.’

’Besides, I’m afraid the Saintess Corps will go looking for death again.’

’Then Su Qi would just run off recklessly again.’

’By then, Su Qi should be in advanced training, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to be running around.’

’What does advanced training imply?’

’It means Su Qi will be pregnant. How could I possibly let her run around?’

’At that time, I’ll want to pamper her endlessly, terrified of even the slightest accident.’

Soon, Jiang Zuo arrived at Su Qi’s residence.

In theory, Su Qi shouldn’t have been back so early.

Jiang Zuo walked inside.

The notebook was, as expected, still there.

Jiang Zuo went over to the notebook. Just as he picked it up, intending to flip through its pages...

He heard a flustered sound, and then a panting Su Qi appeared at the door.

The moment he saw Su Qi, Jiang Zuo’s expression remained unchanged. He simply glanced down and casually patted the cover of the notebook.

"It’s a bit dusty," he said nonchalantly.

Su Qi caught her breath and said, "Do you... do you want to open it up and see if there’s any dust inside?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "That’s just common sense. How could there be dust inside a book? My grades were better than yours; you can’t fool me."

Su Qi said, exasperated, "When are you going to give up on trying to peek at my notebook?"

Jiang Zuo just smiled and said nothing.

’If I answer that, won’t I be admitting I was trying to peek?’

’Do I even want to survive the night?’

Jiang Zuo changed the subject. "You’ll be busy starting tomorrow, right? Come on, I’ll take you out for a bite to eat."

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo with a grin. "It’s already dark out. How about we eat... something else?"

Jiang Zuo: "..."

The cover should be back to the old one. Don’t tell me you guys didn’t see it!
