Zero smiled ruefully after his lament. “However, Cang Tianji is right, there’s plenty of time. The battle between the calculators and the fate masters is destined to have a conclusion.”

I had a feeling that even if Zero had gone all out, he wouldn't have been able to hold Cang Tianji back then.

Fate masters can roam freely throughout the world because they can find that glimmer of life within the fate.

If that last shred of vitality can’t be blocked, then even a million soldiers wouldn’t be able to hold back a top-tier fate master.

Zero said with a smile, "I've said what I needed to say. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

I thought for a moment and said, "Is the divine general in the golden coffin related to Greed Wolf?"

Zero shook his head slightly. "I don't know! Greed Wolf left too many mysteries for the Art of the World."

"Cang Tianji and I have both tried to deduce the secrets of Greed Wolf, but neither of us has come up with a result. Greed Wolf's three-life layout is beyond the knowledge of gods and ghosts. The mystery of Greed Wolf… forget it, I won't talk about it. Talking about things without evidence only increases troubles.”

I had originally intended to ask Zero, "What's going on with the return of the emperor?" But the words got stuck in my throat.

Inquiring about the secrets of other factions is a major taboo in the martial world, even among friends.

Zero and I sat on the divine general's coffin and finished a pot of wine before she left Shili Mountain with the coffin. As she left, she told me that the Art of the World was about to undergo a major change, and that I should keep a low profile.

Whether or not the Art of the World changed didn't really affect me. I never intended to compete for supremacy in the Art of the World. If the people of the Art of the World didn't provoke me, I would naturally be happy to keep a low profile.

I listened to Zero's words and let them pass by. The first thing I did after going down the mountain was to help Butcher Wang move. She had already entered the Two Realms Hall, so I couldn't just leave her at the Wang's house.

In fact, Butcher Wang, despite her seemingly crazy and noisy demeanor, was quite sentimental. In the end, she didn't kill the black cat, but just asked me to help her throw it out the door. I saw the cat meowing outside the door for a long time before crying and leaving.

Butcher Wang also heard the cat's meows, but her eyes remained red as she packed her things.

Originally, Butcher Wang wanted to bring the zombie senior from underground to the Two Realms Hall, but that person said she wanted to wait for the Undead Zombie. No matter how we tried to persuade her, she refused to leave, so we could only leave her at the Wang's house.

Butcher Wang sealed the Wang's house door with a talisman and returned to the Two Realms Hall with me.

To welcome Butcher Wang's arrival, I specially cooked a big meal for everyone. The dinner was quite pleasant, but it all went sour the next morning.

I had just walked into the dining room in the morning when I was startled by the scene before me.

The girls in the Two Realms Hall were sitting in a row on the chairs, each holding a weapon and glaring at me like I had walked into a bandit's den.

Something's up!

Definitely something's up!

But I couldn't ask directly, I had to ease the atmosphere.

After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered a scene from *Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy*, and immediately clasped my fist. "A patch of dark clouds over the Northwest Heavens, a crow falls into a flock of phoenixes. The whole room is full of heroes... heroic sisters, who is the ruler and who is the subject?"

I needed to find someone to talk to me!

Feng Ruoxing slammed the table. "Li Po, let me ask you, didn't you say in the Zhenyu that you wouldn't even bother with beauties exposing their bellies for you to rest on?"

My jaw almost dropped to the ground. Did Ye Yang reveal my boasting? Ye Yang is a troublemaker!

Ye Yang sat beside me as if nothing had happened, not saying a word.

I quickly denied, "No, no..."

Nie Xiaochun slammed the table. "Still dare to quibble? Do you dare to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath?"

"Isn't that inappropriate?" I was dumbfounded. It's not that big of a deal to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, is it? Besides, wouldn't swearing be asking for lightning to strike me?

"That... that..." I rubbed my hands and said, "Look, who doesn't boast a little when they're young? Right?"

As soon as I said that, I realized, "Hey, that's not right! What does my boasting have to do with you? You're acting like a joint trial!"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Yuezhu stood up and shouted. "You're slandering our reputation!"

"What?" I was even more confused.

Feng Ruoxing narrowed her eyes and said, "You're like a homebody all day long. You don't have any missions, you don't even go out. Besides us, do you know any other girls? Tell me, who are the girls begging you to rest on their bellies?"

"I'm wronged!" I almost knelt down to them. "Wasn't that just me bragging and exaggerating? I didn't think that much at the time!"

Before Nie Xiaochun could speak, I immediately shouted, "I dare to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath!"

"Unbelievable!" Qin Xin also stood up. "You talked to Zero alone for so long, who knows if she taught you how to break an oath?"

"When did your imagination become so rich?" My eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Enough nonsense!" Feng Ruoxing stood up angrily and stabbed a dagger into the table. "Give me an explanation!"

"What are you going to do?" Before I could finish speaking, several daggers were all stabbed into the table. The girls shouted in unison, "Give us an explanation!"

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. What was going on?

They even brought out daggers, were they going to draw blood?
