Lao Liu said hesitantly, "We can't just let the Master continue to shut himself away, can we?"

"Besides, if the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) closes down, problems might arise internally."

Wang the Butcher nodded in agreement, "He's right. At least Xiao Chi Zi (Little Chi Zi) won't accept this."

Jiang Junci was eager to return to the Coffin Gate to stand alongside his master against the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, Xie Ban Gui wouldn't let him go back, no matter what.

Xie Ban Gui's idea was similar to Ye Qianyang's – the Coffin Gate needed a spark.

Ling Guan San Ren (Wandering Coffin Hermit) was the successor of the flame that Ye Qianyang had left behind, and Jiang Junci was the spark that Xie Ban Gui had preserved.

Although Jiang Junci was in the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall), his heart had long flown to Liang界 Mountain (Two Realms Mountain).

He didn't want to leave behind a successor. He wanted to defend Liang界 Mountain (Two Realms Mountain) with his brothers and sisters from the Coffin Gate, even if they were buried together at the foot of the mountain.

If I didn't resist, Jiang Junci would be the first to leave the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall).

Wang the Butcher also knew the situation was serious. He specially prepared a table full of dishes that night, and Ye Yang dragged me to the dining room.

When I saw the table full of dishes, I almost cried, "I didn't expect I could have four dishes in the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall)!"

"These dishes weren't made by Lin Zhao, were they?"

The veins on Lin Zhao's forehead popped out, and he glared at me across the table.

Wang the Butcher narrowed his eyes and poured me a glass of wine, "Junior Brother! We're all back from Miao Jiang. What are your plans?"

"What plans can I have?" I gestured at Jiang Junci with my mouth, "You should ask them what their plans are."

Jiang Junci said, "I plan to reorganize the Tian Ya Wei (Sky's Edge Guard), in preparation for..."

"Don't!" I forcibly interrupted Jiang Junci, "Didn't your master tell you what to do?"

"You can't disobey your master's orders, you know?"

"Your main task now is to get married and have children."

"Having one isn't enough."

"As far as I know, Xie Ban Gui doesn't have any children, but Gao Sheng does. None of Xie Ban Gui's eight masters have descendants either. You two have to make up for that regret."

"The Eight Generals of the Ghost Office: Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, Liu everywhere, rooster, black dog, a pot of wine. Eight, plus Xie Ban Gui, that's nine. Jiang Junci also needs to have one with his surname, that's ten."

"When it comes to having children, one sheep is driven, and two sheep are herded. How about including Leng Gou (Cold Dog) and me? That's twelve in total."

"Huan Zi (Badger), even if you have one a year, you'd have to give birth for twelve years."

"For these twelve years, you should retire from the martial world!"

Wang Xiao Huan's face turned from red to white, and then from white to green.

But I pretended not to see it, "Twelve years is quite tiring. How about having Senior Sister kill a couple of demon beasts to nourish you?"

"Pig demons won't do, badgers are a better match."

"However, badger demons aren't easy to catch. How about we get a chum salmon? They produce a lot of offspring."

Wang Xiao Huan couldn't listen anymore and swung the wine bottle at my head. I raised my hand and caught the bottle, "Don't be angry, it's just a plan, a plan."

Wang the Butcher gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up."

"I'm asking you what you think about Liang界 Mountain (Two Realms Mountain)?"

I said lazily, "Liang界 Mountain (Two Realms Mountain)? I look at it with my eyes!"

"Liang界 Mountain (Two Realms Mountain) isn't my backyard. Whether it's on fire or not, it's none of my business."

"Don't get angry. There are plenty of people in the術道 (Shu Dao, the world of magic and cultivation) who think the same way as me. Do you believe it?"

I picked up the wine bottle and poured myself a glass, "The people of the Coffin Gate have righteousness and passion. That doesn't mean the entire 術道 (Shu Dao, the world of magic and cultivation) has the same heart."

"There are plenty of people who want to save their lives. Why should I be the one to stick my neck out?"

I turned to look at Chen Shuyu, "Little Orange, tell me, aren't there a lot of people scolding me right now?"

Chen Shuyu looked at Ye Yang, and only after seeing him nod did she say, "After you threw out that coffin, people in the 術道 (Shu Dao, the world of magic and cultivation) have been scolding you."

"Scolding you for being selfish, scolding you for being greedy for life and afraid of death..."

"Some people even made straw dolls to practice hidden weapons on every day."

I smiled faintly, "So, I'm utterly wicked, right?"

Chen Shuyu said cautiously, "Not just that, some people are making a fuss about what happened to us in Miao Jiang."

"Saying that we should... should have negotiated with the Miao Jiang witch clan nicely, instead of going on a killing spree."

"Some people are also scolding Jiang Junci and Wang Xiao Huan."

"Saying that Jiang Junci is a渣男 (zha nan, scumbag) and Wang Xiao Huan is not accommodating. For the sake of righteousness in the 術道 (Shu Dao, the world of magic and cultivation), shouldn't they compromise?"

I said with a chuckle, "What else? Keep talking!"

Chen Shuyu said with a guilty conscience, "That's about it!"

Ye Yang said coldly, "Speak!"

Chen Shuyu then said, "Many people are no longer satisfied with verbally attacking the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall). They are jumping up and down, uniting some of the old-timers in the martial world, preparing to come to the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) to demand an explanation."

"Is that so!" I turned to look at Jiang Junci, "Xiao Chi Zi (Little Chi Zi), what do you say?"

Jiang Junci hesitated for a moment and said, "I think we should avoid the limelight for now."

"No matter what the people who come here are aiming for, they are all connected to some 術道 (Shu Dao, the world of magic and cultivation) sects. If there's a conflict, the entire 術道 (Shu Dao, the world of magic and cultivation) might fall apart."

"If... I mean, if... someone suggests that they won't send troops to Liang界 Mountain (Two Realms Mountain) if they don't kill you, it will be difficult for the Coffin Gate to decide."

"So..."

I sneered, "So, the Coffin Gate thinks the Liang界堂 (Two Realms Hall) is dispensable, is that it?"
