Let's Call It Even

What's worse is that he used to be able to run away, since he was a submissive and could walk freely. But ever since he became a sword god... run away? You're talking like the ruler can really do anything to you. Stick your butt out!

Once you have the strength, size doesn't matter anymore...

On another note, Li Sushang was quite puzzled as to why her aunt hadn't reached the level of Sword God yet... even though her aunt's skill level was already at that level.

So Li Sushang now smiles somewhat insincerely, just like her aunt Rita.

Incidentally, Cheng Lingshuang Ling Shuang beat Li Sushang Chang the second most, and Liu Bai the third most. Qin Suyi, however, is different from the original world and becomes a loving mother.

However, the only ones with the real reason to hit Li Sushang were Liu Bai and Su Mei. Cheng Lingshuang's beating of Li Sushang can be divided into two stages: one is when Li Sushang was a child and spoke without thinking, and the other is when she grew up and acted recklessly in front of her...

"It was His Holiness the Bishop who went back on his word first, Miss Li, you heard it too." Rita smiled at Li Sushang.

Although her impression of the other party had been slightly lowered due to their previous unrestrained coquettishness, it was still... not appropriate to be an enemy at this time.

"... I didn't know... that can't be considered as not knowing, can it?"

Li Sushang hesitated for a moment before speaking weakly.

This was purely Otto shooting himself in the foot.

Although she was also unhappy about this, Otto was in the wrong, and even if she helped, there wasn't much she could do—she couldn't very well take action, could she?

The Grandmaster is still watching; she's probably just asking for trouble by acting so unruly.

... Although she didn't particularly dislike being spanked by her grandmaster.

Hmm...

After a moment of contemplation, Li Sushang tentatively asked Rita:

"Um, how about... I come along?"

Otto: "..."

Rita: "...?"

Chapter 292 A Clean Slip

"Li Sushang!"

"Um... Aunt Otto, there's no use in looking at me like that."

Li Sushang scratched her face. "I'm not Schicksal one. I'm a true descendant of the Tai Xu Sword Sect... Although it's a bit unpleasant to say this, I'm on the same side as the old lady. Even if you call my aunt over, it'll still be the same thing."

"..."

This statement made such a valid point that Otto didn't know how to refute it.

"... Don't forget that you have the title of S-Rank Valkyrie in Schicksal."

Rita and Bianka looked at Li Sushang with some surprise upon hearing this. So, their most mysterious colleague was this person?

"Then I can resign. It's not like I have to keep working here," Li Sushang said sincerely, scratching her head.

"..."

Otto was furious; he felt like he was going to be driven mad with anger today.

How come they're all traitors?

"But they're not from the Tai Xu Sword Sect, are you just going to let them run rampant like this?"

Otto pointed to Rita and Bianka.

"Isn't this a case of joining forces when you can't win?"

Li Sushang said this as a matter of course.

Since I am not one of the Schicksal ones, there is no need for me to fight Rita to the death for Otto.

Since he couldn't argue with Rita, he joined in to reserve a spot.

The reasons aren't contradictory, right?

She wasn't too happy about the other person's behavior either, but wasn't it because Rita's smile looked too much like her aunt's?

Li Sushang felt it wasn't shameful to back down for this reason.

"You!"

"Rita! Don't push your luck!"

The sudden angry shout calmed Otto down considerably.

But when he turned around, he saw that the person who said this was Fu Hua.

Um... Although this Scarlet Bird Immortal seems to have been a bit out of her mind since her resurrection, she will remember this favor for speaking up and helping at this time.

And look at you, Kallen! Are you even my friend anymore?!

Otto glared at Kallen, while Kallen stared at the ceiling as if nothing had happened.

Kallen didn't bother with it for a simple reason—it's not something you can just do because you say so.

Even if we were to do it, we should at least wait until the Lord God has a physical body, right?

And to take it a step further, do you think anyone will try to trip you up after you do this?

Therefore, Kallen was not nervous at all.

In her opinion, Otto has completely lost his mind because he saw the Lord God.

Didn't Rita say before that there were a dozen or twenty women surrounding the Lord God? Why are you in such a hurry?

Kallen even felt that if Rita and Otto really reached an agreement, everyone else, including herself, would definitely team up to take them down—they would be public enemies.

If Rita isn't stupid, she's just trying to put Otto in a bad light.

However, Kallen never expected that Fu Hua would get involved in this matter...

Well, she could also tell that this fairy lady didn't seem to be very bright.

Well, Otto took the blame for this.

The fairy maiden's transformation into a fool can only be attributed to the shot fired by AI.

Just wait until Cheng Lingshuang and her group cause trouble for them.

"Susang, as the successor of the Tai Xu Sword Sect, you should come and help your grandmaster now."

"Eh...~~"

Li Sushang raised her eyes, looking reluctant.

"Is this how you treat your grandmaster?" Shibao glared at Li Sushang in a threatening manner.

"Uh-huh..."

Li Sushang nodded perfunctorily.

Although what you said makes a lot of sense, I seem to remember that our Tai Xu Sword Sect is a sect that surrounds our Grandmaster.

Li Sushang wouldn't say this directly to offend her grandmaster, but she clearly wasn't going to pay any attention to it either.

And speaking of which, why does our grandmaster seem so silly today?

Li Sushang sighed.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Fu Hua, her childhood memories still allowed her to picture a cold, ethereal immortal who seemed untouched by worldly affairs.

Calling her an old woman is just a figure of speech. If she still acts like she's above worldly concerns, Li Sushang wouldn't mind calling her her grandmaster.

After all, Li Sushang still held a certain degree of awe towards the "immortals" and the "celestial beings" in the stories of her aunts.

However, the way the other person looked today made her too ashamed to call him "Grandmaster".

"...You traitor, you traitor!"

Shibao looked heartbroken.

"You have no right to talk about others!" Seeing Shibao's expression, Liu Bai felt an inexplicable urge to hit him, and with a dark face, he smacked Shibao on the back of the head.

"Teacher Liu, what's the matter?" After being knocked on, Shibao immediately turned around with a fawning smile and snuggled up to Liu Bai.

Li Sushang: "..."

Upon seeing this scene, Li Sushang subconsciously rubbed her temples.

Why does my own grandmaster look so much like Aunt Otto?

"It's alright, just sit there properly."

Liu Bai reached out and pushed Shibao's head away.

"And Rita, you're such a jerk."

"How can this be called ripping people off?"

Rita smiled. "This is His Excellency the Bishop's own decision, and I think Miss Susang is quite pleasing to the eye. It's quite a beautiful story that the three S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal are getting married together under His Excellency the Bishop's supervision, isn't it?"

Otto's face darkened further.

As soon as Liu Bai opened his mouth, Otto realized that Rita was digging a hole for him.

But upon hearing the rest... Otto suffered an even more severe stroke.

What have I done to deserve Schicksal? All three S-Rank Valkyrie of this generation are traitors, trying to steal the boss's man.

What a wonderful story! I don't think it's a wonderful story at all!

"Alright, alright, Otto, come on, have some water."

Kallen patted Otto on the back and handed him a glass of water.

It seems my best friend has really lost this round. If she can't turn things around in the future, she might really have to become a concubine for her subordinates...

... Thinking about it this way, it seems kind of funny?

"Since Liu Bai has said so, let's skip this topic for now."

Rita sighed.

Although she wasn't particularly intimidated by the bishop's authority, she was quite curious to see if she could make the bishop faint from anger...

However, it's definitely better to stop while you're ahead.

Of course, this matter is only "temporarily" put aside. It would be quite nice to bring it up to provoke His Excellency the Bishop from time to time.

Moreover, after this incident, Rita temporarily abandoned her plans to change jobs.

After all, the number of "love rivals" on the side of Anti-Entropy is far greater than that of Schicksal.

Now that she and Otto no longer have a major conflict, there's no question of her staying or leaving.

Moreover, Rita also vaguely sensed that, given this trend, as long as Liu Bai was still around, these three families would eventually merge. If they kept jumping around and waited for the future merger, it might be awkward.

Furthermore, he now has the upper hand against the bishop—something he never dared to imagine before.

"By the way Theresa, you're here too."

Otto finally looked at his nominal granddaughter.

"Good afternoon, Grandpa?" Theresa was also struggling with what to call Otto.

"No need to call me grandpa, just call me bishop," Otto sighed.

"Oh... Good afternoon, Your Excellency Bishop, and also Kallen."

Otto didn't react, and Kallen reached out and ruffled Theresa's hair.

"Stop it, please. Don't stay here. Go and help me find someone."

Otto didn't have the same kind of emotional attachment to Theresa that AI had based on false memories, so his tone was rather indifferent.

"Help me find the person in charge of the World Serpent; we need to discuss some serious matters."

"The person in charge?"

Theresa looked at Liu Bai with a conflicted expression.

To be fair, isn't this guy also the one in charge of the World Serpent?

"Go find Mei and Gray Serpent, and while you're at it... call Einstein."

Liu Bai looked at Theresa, who was completely bewildered, and offered some advice.
