Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 We Are All Fishing

After telling the story, Qiu Jidan, who thought he had grasped Zhang Ze, stuffed a bag of spirit stones into Zhang Ze’s hands.

"Take these spirit stones first, and rest assured about the task you entrusted to me."

"Cultivate well, and once you find out the location of that forest, I’ll take you to explore it."

Without waiting for Zhang Ze to refuse, Hero Chou turned and left.

Zhang Ze watched Qiu Jidan’s departing figure and rubbed his chin.

"Interesting."

The story Qiu Jidan told was different from Pavilion Master Chen’s version.

Although much of it was Qiu Jidan’s nonsense, he did reveal one crucial piece of information.

Qiu Jidan said, "This pill is not a demon."

Then the system prompted.

[Ding]

[Hidden task, Pill of Yin and Yang, Key information obtained (1/2)]

Stone Pills are rare in the world, even someone as knowledgeable as Pavilion Master Chen doesn’t know their specifics. The demons transformed from Stone Pills seldom mention this to outsiders.

Unless it’s someone like Elder Wang and Aunt Niao with a deep, mutual understanding.

But if the pill is not a demon, how do you explain it?

Need to go back and have Grandpa Wang send a letter to Cold City.

"Senior brother, what are you thinking?" Chen Qin tugged at Zhang Ze’s sleeve.

"I was just thinking, maybe the story I made up was a bit too big."

"Seems like I caught a big fish."

The so-called forest was obviously something Zhang Ze made up, but from Qiu Jidan’s expression, it seemed he really believed it.

If Qiu Jidan decided to take drastic actions and got some experts from the Demon Sect to capture him, that would indeed be troublesome.

He can’t just stay cooped up in the sect, writing books to improve cultivation, can he?

That would be too embarrassing.

Of course, it’s not that he’s afraid, Zhang Ze has many ways.

Chen Qin watched Zhang Ze for a while, then pulled out a token from her bosom and handed it to Zhang Ze.

The token was warm and jade-like, without any excessive carvings, just inscribed with a single word: spring.

"My mom is easy to talk to, if the senior brother encounters danger, you can use this."

Zhang Ze held the jade token, feeling its warmth, smiled, and handed it back to Chen Qin.

He shook his head.

"It’s too precious, that Qiu doesn’t deserve it."

"Let’s head back to the sect."

"Money..." Qiao Lezhi, who just woke up, stretched lazily and sat up from the wheelchair, pointing at the spirit stones on the table.

Zhang Ze thought for a moment, "Let’s bring them back and give them to Lily."

"I’ve borrowed from her for a long time today."

Yangguan Road.

Qiu Jidan lightly swung his folding fan while walking down the street. It was already deep autumn, and the weather had cooled down.

Passengers passing by couldn’t help but glance at Qiu Jidan and make way for him.

Qiu Jidan felt great, thinking his reputation had already spread among these people, and that’s why they respected him by making way.

But the thoughts of the common people were actually very simple.

In deep autumn, it’s getting cooler. This person still wore a single garment and swung a fan; he must either be a cultivator or mentally impaired.

Either way, it’s best to keep a distance.

Floating on the air, Qiu Jidan suddenly stopped. He realized he had forgotten something.

He had talked for so long but still didn’t know that person’s name, only that he was an Outer Disciple and had something to do with the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

He wanted to go back and ask, but he wasn’t sure if that person was still there.

While hesitating, someone patted his shoulder.

"Young Master Qiu?"

Qiu Jidan hadn’t realized someone had arrived behind him; the pat startled him into a shiver.

Looking back, he saw it was the Golden Core Realm disciple from the Sword Sect who had approached him earlier.

Wang Sheng.

"I, Wang, always enjoy befriending righteous and brave men. I checked into your matters after returning, Young Master Qiu."

"Your actions greatly appeal to me."

"Why not join the Sword Hall? I can vouch for you."

"Nowadays, the Cyan Thorn situation is treacherous, and we at the Sword Hall need someone like you with righteous integrity."

Wang Sheng’s words left Qiu Jidan stunned.

Seeing Qiu Jidan’s dazed expression, Wang Sheng chuckled.

"It’s a bit sudden; Young Master Qiu can take your time to think it over."

"Once you decide, there’s no rush in giving me your reply."

Saying this, he handed a Sound Transmission Talisman to Qiu Jidan and turned to leave, as decisively as when he enforced the law.

Watching Wang Sheng’s figure disappear into the crowd, Qiu Jidan hesitated a bit.

Joining the Sword Hall could get him closer to the Sword Pavilion; if he built a good rapport with Wang Sheng, entering the Inner Sect of the Sword Pavilion didn’t seem impossible, bringing him a step closer to his goal.

But once he joined the Sword Hall, it would be hard to carry out many small actions, and he couldn’t easily deal with that Outer Disciple.

Qiu Jidan stood amidst the crowd, clutching the talisman in thought for a long time.

He decided to join the Sword Hall.

The matters that the Outer Disciple spoke of were events from centuries ago, and their truth was uncertain.

What the Sect Leader and his father instructed ultimately had to focus on the Seventh Sword Pavilion.

Compared to a neglected Outer Disciple and a Golden Core Inner Sect Disciple, the former was hardly worth mentioning.

A single Stone Pill wasn’t much of a significant weight.

Moreover, gaining the trust of the Inner Sect Disciples means controlling a small Outer Disciple with twice the effort and half the result.

The matters that the Outer Disciple spoke of could be handled by Song Qingpao.

He has many people with clean identities under him, perfect for spreading the news. In a few days, those people could even go check out the place called the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

With his decision made, Qiu Jidan coldly chuckled in his heart.

"This grand Sword Pavilion is nothing more than a fish before me."

...

Sword Pavilion.

Zhang Ze found his master and was then led by Elder Li to the Pavilion Master’s room.

Zhang Ze unabashedly spilled everything that happened today with Qiu Jidan, the sphere, and Qiu Jidan’s identity.

"The bait I threw seems a bit too tempting; the fish is rather large."

"It seems a bit beyond my control."

Zhengyi smiled after hearing everything and chuckled lightly.

"You’re afraid? I don’t believe it."

Zhang Ze shrank his neck, acting even more pitiful.

Elder Li, standing to the side, sighed.

’This little brat, just at Foundation Establishment, already does such big things. When he reaches my level of cultivation, won’t he poke a hole in the heavens.’

Zhengyi took a sip of tea and said.

"You don’t need to worry about this matter, rascal."

"Do things your way, there’s no need to concern yourself with what the Demon Sect thinks."

Having said that, Zhengyi made a gesture of pulling at Zhang Ze’s collar.

Zhang Ze licked his lips, surprised at how significant his presence was.

Only one person ever pulled his collar, and that was the towering two-meter-tall Pavilion Master Chen, like the Sword Immortal Confucius himself.

’Oh my, the brother-in-law hasn’t left yet.’

"Don’t overthink it. It’s just that we happen to be watching you," Zhengyi waved his hand, "If there’s nothing else, you can leave first."

"I happen to have something to discuss with Guanqi here," seeing Zhang Ze unmoved, Zhengyi added.

"What? You want to listen to more?"

Zhang Ze shook his head fervently.

"I won’t listen, I won’t listen, hearing too much might cost my life. Master, Grandmaster, you two chat away."

With that, Zhang Ze quickly left the room, closing the door carefully behind him.

Outside, Zhang Ze saw Chen Qin waiting for her.

"Senior brother, how did it go?"

"No issues. By the way, it may take some time to prepare things with the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion and Wang Wu."

Zhang Ze thought for a moment, then added, "How about taking a trip to Cold City, just the two of us?"

"Really?" Chen Qin looked excited.

"Really."

Looking at Chen Qin’s worried little face, Zhang Ze couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, pinch it, then rub it.

It felt so nice.

"Senior brother!"

Chen Qin was taken aback by Zhang Ze’s actions; her heart was pounding, her mind in a fuzz.

She felt Zhang Ze’s hands were warm, and rather than any revulsion, she didn’t know how to react for a moment.

Just then, a leaf fell from the tree and drifted into a place where Zhang Ze could see it, immediately getting shredded into pieces by numerous strands of sword qi.

’It seems the brother-in-law really is around.’

Reluctantly, Zhang Ze let go of his hand.

"Senior brother...", Chen Qin said with a blush, "there’s something moving there."
