Undercover Rendezvous

With 35 days left until the military exercise, all armed disciples have returned to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Liang Yi's entire team returned.

Their numbers were already the smallest; if you include the armed disciples, there are only a little over two thousand left.

It's quite dangerous for these people to stay in the north, which is why Liang Yi wants to bring everyone back.

Zhang Changshan and Wang Baole's team left half of their members behind and brought the other half back.

In total, more than 20,000 people are gathered at the Martial Practice Arena.

Zhang Yang looked at everyone and said with a smile, "I'll give you three days off. After three days, we'll go to the military exercise field for final training. Go ahead, have a good two days of fun in Azure Cloud Town!"

"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!"

A group of people went to Azure Cloud Town in high spirits.

"Old Zhang, where are you going?" Wang Baole called out to Zhang Changshan. "Why are you so eager to go to Azure Cloud Town as soon as the group disbands? I bet you don't have someone you're seeing in Azure Cloud Town, do you?"

Zhang Changshan glanced at Wang Baole: "Always following us around, relentlessly clinging to our Blue-Clad Army, how could you not know I have a lover?"

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that?" Wang Baole shouted in dissatisfaction. "It's clearly your Blue-Clad Army that's sticking to us and insisting on challenging us. Why didn't you go and challenge Junior Sister Liang Yi?"

"I heard someone talking badly about me?" Liang Yi walked over with a smile. "What are you two plotting?"

Wang Baole immediately pointed at Zhang Changshan: "He's the one with the problem!"

Liang Yi shook her head, too lazy to pay attention to the two of them, and pulled Cao Ying to Azure Cloud Town.

Zhang Changshan shook his head, not even glancing at Wang Baole, and went to the Azure Cloud Town Government office.

This surprised Wang Baole, who was following behind.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Baole asked.

"I wrote an article and would like Azure Cloud Gazette to publish it for me." Zhang Changshan handed the article to Liu Ming, "Junior Brother Liu, do you think you can arrange this?"

Liu Ming took the article, glanced at its contents, and his eyes lit up. He hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Zhang, you absolutely must be able to arrange this!"

He's currently in charge of the Azure Cloud Gazette, and he's always anxious about its content. It's a newspaper read by the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, and its contents are for top figures; how could he possibly publish anything ordinary?

Now that Zhang Changshan has sent over a few articles, it's a lifesaver in our urgent situation.

"Senior Brother Zhang, do you have any more?" Liu Ming asked Zhang Changshan eagerly.

"I've only written two so far. If you think they're good, you can have them both!" Zhang Changshan handed all the articles he had prepared to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming became even more excited and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Zhang, please have a seat!"

"Will you continue writing these articles in the future?"

"Of course!" Zhang Changshan nodded. "I will definitely write whenever I have time. I have already found my own path of cultivation, and from now on, studying my Elder Brother's Sayings will be enough!"

"That's great!" Liu Ming looked at Zhang Changshan with a very serious expression. "After you finish writing, give it all to me, and I'll publish a book for you separately!"

Our Azure Cloud Gazette Group is now not only responsible for the 'Azure Cloud Gazette', but also for 'A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom'.

Later, someone asked me if I could publish a book, and I gave it a try, and it went quite well.

Senior Brother Zhang, your article perfectly meets our needs.

Don't worry, we will give you a portion of the profits from these book publications."

Zhang Changshan paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need to give me money. I just enjoy researching and writing."

"No, you have to accept this money, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the development of our Azure Cloud Gazette!" Liu Ming said seriously. "Our Eldest Senior Brother chaired a meeting for us last time and talked to us about the market economy, which greatly inspired us. Therefore, our Azure Cloud Gazette Group also needs to make money and also engage in the market economy!"

"Ah!" Zhang Changshan was stunned. He hurriedly took out his notebook and asked eagerly, "What did Eldest Senior Brother say? Tell me quickly, I need to write it down!"

"Oh!" Liu Ming hurriedly relayed Zhang Yang's words about the market economy to Zhang Changshan.

Wang Baole, standing beside Zhang Changshan, stared in shock.

You little brat, you actually wrote a book secretly?

Moreover, what's with the Eldest Senior Brother getting involved in market economics?

Everyone attends the same classes, how come you're so outstanding?

No, I can't fall behind!

He quickly sat down and took out his notebook to write things down.

After a long while, Zhang Changshan and Liu Ming Mingcai finished their conversation and left the Azure Cloud Gazette office with a bewildered Wang Baole.

Wang Baole was completely baffled by the question about market economy.

Zhang Changshan glanced at Wang Baole and asked, "You didn't get much schooling when you were little, did you?"

"Why should I study?" Wang Baole muttered. "I'm a young master from a prominent Lineage, why would I need to study?"

"Sigh!" Zhang Changshan shook his head. "You should read your Eldest Senior Brother's words carefully and spend more time studying them. They'll be enlightening for you! Don't waste your time following me. I'm going to the Azure Moon Merchant Association to buy some things."

He went to buy more pens, ink, and paper to store, because he would have too much to write in the future.

As Zhang Changshan walked, he pondered what to write in his next article.

Suddenly, a faint voice reached Zhang Changshan's ears. "Young Master, it's so hard for me to find you!"

Zhang Changshan stopped in his tracks, frowned, and looked around.

"Young Master, there's no need to look around. This is Azure Cloud Sect territory. We must be extremely careful when we make our rendezvous." The voice continued, "Young Master, are you alright at the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Zhang Changshan could not find the source of the Spiritual Sense message, but he knew that the speaker was a guest elder of the Zhang Family.

This guest retainer held a very high position in the Zhang Family and was deeply trusted by the head of the family.

"It's alright!" Zhang Changshan replied casually.

The mysterious voice continued, "Young Master, what is your status in the Azure Cloud Sect? Recently, the Azure Cloud Sect's magical Law Treasure have been making headlines. You must have come into contact with such Law Treasure, Young Master?"

Zhang Changshan laughed and nodded.

"That's wonderful! Young Master, could you tell me what these Law Treasure are all about? Of course, it would be great if we could get our Law Treasure on even one. These things are extremely important to the Zhang Family."

Zhang Changshan's brow twitched slightly, and he nodded a little, saying, "This Law Treasure is very difficult to obtain. Every time we use it, our senior brothers take it back. However, there are simply too many people who possess Law Treasure, so getting one shouldn't be too difficult. Especially some damaged Law Treasure, which are even easier to obtain. I'll go back and see if there's an opportunity, and try my best to get one."

"Young Master, the Zhang Family is truly honored to have you. Alright, after you obtain the Law Treasure, come to Azure Cloud Town tomorrow, and I will come to find you."

The sound faded away.

He didn't show up at all.

Zhang Changshan acted as if nothing had happened and went to the Azure Moon Merchant Association to buy things as usual.
