Na! Zha!

Na! Zha!

In the shadow of Chentang Pass's western wall, two figures crouched in a corner beside a Large Gourd, looking up at the "placement" ceremony underway above.

Li Jing, the commander of Chentang Pass, was placing the Li family's inherited treasures—the Xuanyuan Heaven and Earth Bow and the Earth-Shaking Arrow—atop the city wall to suppress evil spirits in Chentang Pass and improve the city's overall feng shui.

Li Changshou's incarnation, Wang Changan, the Senior House Servant of Li Mansion, could not help letting out a sigh of relief as he smiled. "Thanks to Mr. Bai's intervention, these treasures could be restored. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have known how to clean up this mess."

Bai Ze gave an awkward laugh. He had wanted to ask whether Li Changshou had really summoned him back from afar and set aside the affairs of Lin Tian Hall just for this.

But after glancing at the tiny component hidden in his sleeve—absolutely no more than one-thousandth of the whole, and not enough to affect the treasure's performance much—Bai Ze revealed a humble yet refined smile.

Bai Ze praised, "It is still Lord Water God whose ingenuity surpasses all. He set a restriction called a Child Lock on this treasure. Without an adult's large hand gripping a sufficiently broad area, its restrictions cannot be activated, directly preventing children from accidentally touching such a treasure.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant."

"Ah, it is still Mr. Bai whose craftsmanship steals from heaven."

"No, no, no. Lord Water God's talent fills eight bushels."

"Mr. Bai possesses a unique ingenuity."

"Lord Water God, friend to fairies..."

"Ahem." Li Changshou coughed, reminding Bai Ze that some things could be said, while others required careful consideration. Bai Ze promptly shut his mouth. The two exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter together within
