Certain II

Before we knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Yun also got up to leave.

"Master, though you desire tranquility, the wind will not cease. While you may only wish for a peaceful life, a Blood Descendant organization called the Undying Hall has already emerged in the He Country. They are mass-producing different Blood Descendant and recklessly bestowing them upon Dao Foundation, which has already attracted the attention of the Ling Ting. At that time..."

Zhang Rongfang felt a chill run down his spine. This was something he had been worried about all along.

Once the Blood Descendant is released, it will become uncontrollable.

"Thank you for informing me." He stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"It's good that the Abbot knows. When the world is at peace, that will be the day of our final battle, and neither of us can avoid it." Yun's voice softened. "I hope that when we gather again, the Abbot will still be the same as before."

He turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

The wind lifted the white veil, and suddenly a figure flashed by, vanishing without a trace.

The Heavenly Maiden only came to her senses after the man had left.

She took something out of her sleeve and handed it over.

"This is for you, Master Yun."

Zhang Rongfang took it; it was a dark gold brocade box the size of a peach. He opened it and found a pair of luxurious gloves woven with gold and Silver Thread inside.

The Heavenly Maiden then lightly touched the ground with her toes, leaping into the air and bounding towards the outside of the wall.

"On behalf of Mr. Zhang, I thank Cloud Mister," Zhang Rongfang.

The Heavenly Maiden's echo of "Good!" drifted from afar, then quickly disappeared.

Stand still and examine the gloves carefully.

Zhang Rongfang had a vague feeling that this thing was not simple.

He put it back in the box, turned and walked out of the pavilion. Looking back at the cloud, he realized that this person must be a top expert at the highest level of the entire Reverse Time Society.

He sat upright at close range, Dark Light Vision, it was impossible to see through his body. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary old man.

But in the end, the opponent moved so fast that even he couldn't see clearly.

That clearly shows that this person's strength is not ordinary, but rather that he has not truly reached that level.

Led by his attendants, Zhang Rongfang, having no interest in the ongoing banquet, headed out the way he had come from.

He was walking along the gray alley, between the houses inside the Stone Fortress.

Meanwhile, inside the high-level meeting room on one side of the alley, two people were leaning against the window looking down, watching Zhang Rongfang being led outside.

Of the two, one was wearing a green dress, had almond-shaped eyes, and a chubby, rosy face; she was Lu Mei Sha, who was still attending the banquet.

The other person was her best friend Han Lu Si, who came with her.

"Huh? Is this your partner?" Han Lu Si asked in surprise.

"Hmm, I wonder what he's doing in the Backyard?" Lu Mei Sha nodded, confirming her guess.

"Since he came for you, perhaps he's preparing a gift for you?" Han Lu Si guessed with a smile. "Look at that brocade box in his hand. Those kinds of boxes are usually used to hold very valuable things. It'll probably be delivered to you in a little while."

"He's always like this," Lu Mei Sha, her cheeks flushed. "He always suddenly appears and does something unexpected, catching me off guard."

"Doesn't that mean he cares about you?" Han Lu Si said with a smile.

"But I don't like that. If I really like him, I want him to stand in front of me openly and say it to me!" Lu Mei Sha said seriously, "Instead of hinting and suggesting like this."

"When he comes up to you later, don't take it, give it to me. I love these kinds of valuable things the most," Han Lu Si chuckled.

"Go to hell!" Lu Mei Sha lightly slapped her friend on the shoulder.

"Wait! Why is he in the carriage?" Han Lu Si suddenly looked out the window. "Wasn't he going to see you off?"

"They probably hid in the carriage first, wanting to surprise me, just like they did just now?" Lu Mei Sha hesitated.

She also saw Zhang Rongfang get into a black carriage.

"That's possible. People these days have so many ideas, you can't even imagine what they'll come up with," Han Lu Si sighed.

"Huh? Why is the carriage moving?!" She suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The carriage Zhang Rongfang was riding in started moving on its own.

Lu Mei Sha was also somewhat taken aback.

"It seems he plans to take me back later," she sighed. "He always has a lot of ideas."

"That was really difficult," Han Lu Si said knowingly.

"Huh? Why did the carriage stop? He got off."

The two then saw Zhang Rongfang getting off the carriage below.

Then he took a few steps forward and happened to meet a White Dress Woman was chasing after him from behind.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Rongfang immediately tossed the box forward to the White Dress Woman, said a few more words, and then turned and left.

"Huh? Why did he give the box to someone else?" Han Lu Si asked in surprise.

"Perhaps... he intends to have someone else deliver it to me?" Lu Mei Sha answered hesitantly.

Before the two could finish speaking, they saw Zhang Rongfang get back into the carriage. This time, the carriage didn't stop and sped away, disappearing completely out of the Stone Fortress gate and onto the vast Official Road.

"It seems he's really gone," Han Lu Si turned to look at Lu Mei Sha.

The latter's face turned red; he had never expected things to turn out this way.

"Mei Sha, are you sure he came to this banquet specifically for you?" Han Lu Si stood by the window, watching the White Dress Woman who caught the box, and watching her turn around to reveal a fair face that was even more beautiful and pure than hers, and even more beautiful than Lu Mei Sha.

I think

"Are you so sure that Zhang Rongfang is giving that woman a gift because she's pretty?" Lu Mei Sha took a deep breath and asked again.

"But I don't think that box was ever meant for her, otherwise it wouldn't have been tossed around like that, it would have been presented with both hands," she analyzed.

"But I feel it was a gift for her," Han Lu Si, her perspective shifting at this point.

"Impossible. That woman is probably just someone who helped him deliver the gift. So what if she's pretty? She's probably just an ordinary head maid from the neighborhood. Judging from her plain white clothes, she probably can't afford any fine silks, satins, jewelry, or hairpins," Lu Mei Sha continued through gritted teeth.

Then, the two looked down at the White Dress Woman, opened the box, took out a pair of elegant gloves, and gently put them on their hands, turning them over to check if they fit.

"This... should be a gift for her, right?" Han Lu Si lowered her voice, afraid of upsetting her friend.

"I think it's inappropriate for a maid like her to just take other people's gifts so casually."

Whoosh! Before Lu Mei Sha could finish speaking, the White Dress Woman leaped into the air and disappeared from the outer perimeter of the Stone Fortress in the blink of an eye, her movements incredibly fast, far surpassing those of ordinary worshippers they had ever seen.

High Grade Expert!

The word instantly came to mind for both of them.

Han Lu Si looked at her best friend, but all she saw was a numb, blank face.

"My condolences, Mei Sha," she said softly.

Lu Mei Sha stood there blankly, her pretty face burning red.

"I'm going to find him and get to the bottom of this!!" Suddenly, she turned around, ran out of the banquet hall, and rushed outside.

Mountain Man Clinic.

Zhang Rongfang was directing Xiao Dong Xiao Xia to organize the medicinal herbs when he returned from the banquet. On the way, he directly gave the gloves that Yun had given him to Heavenly Maiden.

He appreciated the kindness shown to him by the Reverse Time Society, but he didn't trust them. Therefore, he dared not use the gifts they gave him directly.

Moreover, those gloves weren't ordinary gloves; they seemed to be a pair of Demon Weapon! It was a special Demon Weapon created using some unknown method.

Bang.

Just as I was thinking about something, a person suddenly rushed into the bustling night market street outside.

It's Lu Mei Sha!

She was still dressed in her evening gown and went straight into the clinic without stopping.

As she walked to the counter, her chest heaved violently, her eyes fixed on Zhang Rongfang.

"I'm asking you. Do you still like me now?!" She had been holding these words in for who knows how long.

And now, I've finally asked the real question.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Rongfang blinked, looking bewildered.

"I like you? We're not a good match." He was still thinking about the Reverse Time Society when this guy suddenly rushed in and blurted out that sentence.

"I was really touched that you went to the banquet for me, but..." Lu Mei Sha said through gritted teeth.

"When did I attend a banquet for you?" Zhang Rongfang was taken aback again.

"Isn't that right? Then what were you doing there?!" Lu Mei Sha was stunned, feeling a sudden buzzing in her head.

"I'm going to see a friend, a friend who used to be very good to me. I didn't expect to run into you here as well," Zhang Rongfang answered truthfully.

"Really not for me?" Lu Mei Sha asked again, unwilling to give up.

Zhang Rongfang was speechless. But considering that she was his brother-in-law's younger sister, he reached out and ruffled her hair.

"I'm sorry, although you are beautiful, you're not my type. I'm sorry."

"..." Lu Mei Sha's entire body was now completely flushed, her skin resembling that of a boiled shrimp.

"Furthermore, this way of being frank is novel, but..."

Ah!!! Suddenly, Lu Mei Sha turned around and ran away.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the clinic and disappeared into the vast crowd.

Zhang Rongfang stared at the other person speechlessly. He had said that the girl had been acting strangely lately. So that's what he was thinking.

Unfortunately, they were extremely incompatible in terms of both personality and ability.

He immediately put the matter out of his mind and stopped thinking about it.

Time flowed quietly once more.

Zhang Rongfang gradually adapted to the current pace, and on his thirteenth trip to find the Stone God for a duel.

This time, he came up empty-handed.

Stone God quit.

Even the Doubtful Cloud Mist didn't unfold, and he himself didn't know where he had gone.

Only an empty, desolate little village remained. Nothing else.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Rongfang could only continue searching for a new Remnant God.

There are only so many Remnant God near Wu Mountain. Although there are many Remnant God, there are naturally not many in such a small place.

Finding three already demonstrates a wealth of historical knowledge.

He didn't want to go too far.

And so they continued living like this. Every day they studied the Blood Lotus system, trying to comprehend the Great Grandmaster's methods of gathering power. At the same time, they watched their Attribute Points steadily climb higher each day.

Before we know it, the end of the year is almost here.

Zhang Rongfang's life was peaceful and comfortable, without struggle or accidents; it was just an ordinary life like any other.

In this uneventful period, his attributes will accumulate to a new level of over a hundred points.

Soon, new Trait Talent will emerge.
