Lu Zhou felt that he had overestimated the emperor's prestige.
He looked at the emperor's earnest expression and asked, "Are you just going to take a look?"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said, "I've missed them for so long.
"I've missed it for so long. If I could keep watching, I'd be satisfied. Naturally, Xuan Pin's place isn't safe. "
"Hm?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
"I'm not doubting your strength, old mister. Mysterious beasts have been appearing in Xuan Pin Temple for the past 100 years. These two little girls like to run around, "Great Emperor Shang Zhang said.
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to be a super bodyguard and watch over his daughter.
How could Lu Zhou not understand?
He said, "I can promise you that, but … you have to follow the rules. Conch has no grudge against you, but she doesn't want to see you again. "
Great Emperor Shang Zhang seemed delighted as he said, "Of course. I … I mean, I'll do my best as a Daoist child."
As he spoke, his face distorted and became the same as before.
At this realm, changing one's appearance was a piece of cake.
In just a moment, Great Emperor Shang Zhang had reverted to his original appearance. He seemed much more spirited now.
"Master …"
Outside the dojo, Little Yuan 'er and Conch hurried over.
The two of them had never behaved themselves in front of Lu Zhou. They pushed the doors open and entered the dojo.
Little Yuan 'er's eyes were sharp. She saw the Daoist child sitting cross-legged across her master. She was infuriated. She stepped forward and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Who allowed you to sit in front of my master?"
The Daoist child was stunned. He looked up at Little Yuan 'er and Conch.
'I've treated you wholeheartedly for the past 100 years, and this is how you repay me?'
However, when he saw Conch, he wilted.
In order to maintain a better image, the Daoist child hastily rose to his feet apologetically and said, "I-I've admired you for a long time, old mister. I'd like to ask you some questions about cultivation. Please excuse me, young ladies."
"There are many who want to be my master. Step aside." Little Yuan 'er had a terrible impression of this Daoist child.
Lu Zhou asked, puzzled, "Why are you back?"
Little Yuan 'er pointed outside and said, "Master, Imperial Lord Xuan Pin has led a large number of Dark Armored Guards southeast. They said they've discovered the Holy Ferocious and are disturbing Xuan Pin's stability. "
"The Holy Beast?" Lu Zhou asked.
The Daoist boy frowned and said, "As I … expected."
"You?" Little Yuan 'er turned and asked in confusion.
"Oh, I was just guessing." The Daoist child lowered his head and said, "Imperial Lord Blackman spends most of his time in seclusion. He recently became an Imperial Lord, so he doesn't have a deep understanding of imbalances. In recent years, the imbalance had worsened. Ninelotus and the unknown land were filled with ferocious beasts. Some saint beasts and saint ferocious beasts took the opportunity to enter the Great Void to avoid the calamity. The Great Void originally had quite a number of holy beasts and remnant seeds, and their increase would affect the balance of the Great Void. Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin probably wants to use this opportunity to get rid of the Holy Beast. "
Lu Zhou nodded and asked, "Do you know what kind of holy beast it is?"
There were strong and weak Holy Ferocious beasts. A Sovereign Emperor could deal with an ordinary Holy Ferocious beast. However, if it was a strong ancient Holy Ferocious beast, the Black Armor Guards would not be a match for it.
The Dao child shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, other than the Xuan Pin Palace, the other palaces will also send people to eliminate the Saint Beasts. "
"Why?" Little Yuan 'er asked curiously. "Aren't the Ten Temples of the Great Void Realm competing with each other? If it were me, I would definitely watch from the sidelines and gloat! "
The Taoist child said with an unnatural expression,
"I think that the Palace of Shang Zhang will send someone over … Great Emperor Shang Zhang is the only Great Emperor of the Ten Palaces. He is a man of noble character and unquestionable integrity, with a magnanimous heart.
Lu Zhou nearly spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard this.
You're such a show-off.
Little Yuan 'er was not happy to hear that. "Is there something wrong with you? You know that I hate that old man, yet you still praise him? "
The Taoist boy said calmly,
"You misunderstand him too much."
"I didn't wrong him at all! If you say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart! "Little Yuan 'er bared her canine teeth and put on a ferocious expression.
The Dao child did not speak anymore. He could only nod and say, "Miss is right. This Great Emperor Shang Zhang is a scoundrel! Bah! "
"That's more like it," Little Yuan 'er said.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said, "Conch, you came just in time. I have two things for you."
Hearing this, the eyes of the Daoist boy flickered with gratitude.
Conch walked over in confusion. She bowed and asked, "Master, what's that?"
Lu Zhou waved his sleeve.
The rectangular box behind him opened. The ten-stringed zither spun out and hovered half a foot in front of Conch. It exuded a mysterious aura.
Even if an eternal-grade item did not require Primal Qi, it was still not something ordinary items could compare to.
"This is a ten-stringed zither. It's a zither I'm giving you. You're skilled in music. This is perfect for you, "Lu Zhou said.
To Lu Zhou, it did not matter who gave it to him. As long as it was beneficial, he would accept it.
Naturally, Conch might not be able to overcome the psychological barrier. Hence, Lu Zhou did not plan to tell her.
Conch asked in confusion, "Master, why do you have a ten-stringed zither as well?"
"Does anyone else have one?" Lu Zhou asked.
Little Yuan 'er mumbled, "Who else? That old man Shang Zhang said he'd give me a ten-stringed zither, but I've never seen it before. Junior Sister Conch likes a nine-stringed zither. I didn't take anything from him. "
Lu Zhou said, "I obtained this ten-stringed zither from the ancient relic."
Little Yuan 'er lowered her head and observed it. She could not help but feel slightly envious. She said, "A ten-stringed zither from master must be the best. Fortunately, I didn't take anything from that old man Shang Zhang. It's most likely a shoddy product to fool Junior Sister Conch."
Conch nodded as well. She seemed delighted as she said, "This ten-stringed zither is beautiful."
As she spoke, she moved her fingers. Her fingers danced like the wind.
The melody was like the tide, gentle and melodious.
The melody spread out. It was relaxing and calming.
Lu Zhou nodded and asked, "Do you like it?"
"Mhm, I like it!" Conch said.
"I have a musical score here. I obtained it 70 years ago." Lu Zhou tossed the musical score he had prepared over.
Conch glanced at it and exclaimed excitedly, "The Ballad of Return?"
White birds flew beside the mountain under the setting sun. The Ballad of Return resonated with Conch's mood and feelings when she returned to her master's side.
Everything in the world, be it humans or objects, had a beginning and an end. There was separation and reunion, going and returning.
Lu Zhou took out the Heaven Fortune Stone from the second layer of the rectangular box and said, "This is a Heaven Fortune Stone. Your cultivation base is lagging behind. You can refine the power in this stone."
Little Yuan 'er looked at it enviously. She felt a little indignant as she said, "Master, I want it too!"
Lu Zhou said, "There's only one Heaven Fortune Stone. You're the senior sister, and your talent far surpasses Conch's. You should give in to her."
Although Lu Zhou said that, it did not seem fair to anyone.
Little Yuan 'er pouted. She nodded obediently and said, "Oh."
Conch said, "Ninth Senior Sister, if you like it, you can have it."
She took the Heaven Fortune Stone and handed it to Little Yuan 'er.
Little Yuan 'er waved her hand and said, "No, this is for you."
"I already have a ten-stringed zither," Conch said.
"Even so, I can't take it from you," Little Yuan 'er refused.
Cough! Cough!
The Daoist boy coughed violently again.
Little Yuan 'er turned to look at him suspiciously. "Do you have a problem with that?"
The Daoist boy said, "No … I don't. I'm just puzzled … "
"What are you puzzled about? What does it have to do with you? How annoying! "Little Yuan 'er said.
"I'm just puzzled as to why the old mister is so biased …" the Daoist boy mumbled. His voice grew softer as he said, "Everything should be given equally."
Lu Zhou frowned.
'Are you trying to scam me?'
Lu Zhou said, "Conch, take the Heaven Fortune Stone. I heard there's something better in the upper chapter. I'll look for two more and give them to you. "
Little Yuan 'er did not have Conch's knot in her heart. When she heard this, she asked, "Really?"
"Of course."
"Thank you, master!" Little Yuan 'er was overjoyed.
The Daoist boy. "…"
At this moment, Dao Saint Li Chun appeared outside the dojo. "Li Chun requests an audience with Pavilion Master Lu."
"What is it?"
"The Imperial Emperor encountered a saint in the southeastern region of Dark Pin by chance. He asked for your help, Pavilion Master Lu," Li Chun said.
