If it weren't for Li Zi's heartfelt words, they wouldn't have bothered to wander Mortal World realm.

Li Zi smiled sweetly, "Yes, my senior brothers are all very nice; they are all very helpful."

Zhu Liang lowered his eyes. "My sister always goes alone. I'm always worried when she goes out to hunt Spirit Beast, afraid that she'll encounter danger and have no one to call for help. Seeing you all puts my mind at ease."

He looked up at the four of them again, his voice soft and gentle, yet very firm.

"Four Immortal, my sister once told me that Immortal Cultivation must not be entangled in karma, and must not kill Mortal without cause. Otherwise, they will be burdened with Karmic Obstruction that are difficult to clear, and will affect their future Cultivation. Therefore, I do not wish for your hands to be stained with that man's blood. Please forgive me if I have offended you earlier."

Li Zi paused for a moment, then smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents.

"You're so thoughtful."

She was now even more curious about what kind of person her Fifth Senior Sister, Zhu Min, really was.

With such a clever and kind younger brother, the Fifth Senior Sister must be a wonderful person herself.

The other three shared the same thought.

They smiled at each other, their eyes showing even more affection as they looked at Zhu Liang.

Zhu Liang added, "The people who made things difficult for me just now were probably acting on the orders of someone, and I suspect they are members of the Royal Family. I can handle this myself; there's no need for the Immortal in Mortal World mortal realm to worry about it."

Li Zi exclaimed in surprise, "How did you guess that?"

[That's incredibly accurate! This kid is so smart!]

[Yes, Host, he's pretty much right. This whole thing was done by Ran Zirou and the Prince Tongjia Kingdom. Zhu Liang actually figured it out completely!]

Fu Chaoqing looked at Zhu Liang with great interest.

Yu Lin was amazed and secretly transmitted his voice to Bao Yuanwu and Fu Chaoqing.

Have you had any contact with Fifth Junior Sister?

Chapter 39 Afraid she'll cause trouble? Knock her out and take her away.

Bao Yuanwu and Fu Chaoqing both shook their heads.

No, there really isn't.

Fifth Junior Sister has been in the Sect for twenty years, and they have only met Zhu Min a few times, barely exchanging a few words.

A flicker of interest flashed in Yu Lin's eyes.

"With such a smart younger brother, Fifth Junior Sister must be an interesting person too. I'll have to get to know her better this time."

Zhu Liang turned back Li Zi, his pale face flushed with emotion.

"My sister has a special identity; she was directly hired by royalty to gather spirit medicine. Only the buyers know this, so it's easy to guess."

Zhu Liang lived in a Small Courtyard.

With Young Attendant and Maid taking care of things, the courtyard was kept spotless and the rooms were immaculate.

Although he was in Wheelchair, he had the demeanor of a head of the household and skillfully arranged for the guests to check in.

Zhu Liang also thoughtfully prepared everyday clothes for everyone to wear in the Mortal World, as well as some Silver Money.

Wearing a soft silk robe, Yu Lin straightened his clothes and sighed, "Zhu Liang is really thoughtful; he prepared clothes and Silver Money for us all."

Fu Chaoqing smiled and said, "He is thoughtful, but he is not weak or incompetent. I just heard him scolding a troublesome Maid."

Li Zi excitedly clutched his money pouch. "Senior brothers, shall we go out for a stroll? I've never been to the Mortal World!"

Fu Chaoqing laughed and ruffled her hair. "Come on, let's go out for a walk!"

While strolling around, Li Zi mentally inquired about the system.

[System, I'm worried that Zhu Liang might still be bullied. After all, that bully hasn't been dealt with yet, and Ran Zirou and the Prince haven't shown up either. Also, when will Fifth Senior Sister arrive? We can't keep following Zhu Liang around like this.]

The three senior brothers were already looking rather listless.

They had no interest whatsoever in the bustling city of the Mortal World; they preferred to return to their cave abode and study the newly learned Martial Arts Techniques manuals.

Suddenly hearing Li Zi's inner thoughts, the three of them immediately perked up.

Yes, we can't keep following Zhu Liang around forever.

The system replied, "[Host, Ran Zirou has been here the whole time. She watched from the restaurant across the street after you rescued Zhu Liang. She didn't expect you to save him.]"

[Let's wait a little longer. Ran Zirou is still planning a second attack on Zhu Liang. She hasn't given up yet. Ran Zirou wants to put her plan into action after you leave.]

Li Zi paused, his eyes wide as he looked around.

Is she still there? Don't scare me, I'm getting goosebumps!

[Yes, it's still in that restaurant.]

Suddenly, Fu Chaoqing said, "Senior brothers, I sense Junior Sister Ran's aura. Is it just my imagination?"

Bao Yuanwu lightly stomped his foot on the ground, and a surge of immense power kicked up a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, Ran Zirou, who was hiding in a restaurant drinking, felt as if she had been pricked by needles in her head, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Bao Yuanwu nodded. "That's right, I sensed her presence too."

Yu Lin's eyes were icy. "Since you're already here, why not go over and say hello to Junior Sister Ran?"

"Walk!"

The three hit it off immediately.

When Fu Chaoqing went over, he also took Li Zi's hand with him.

Li Zi bewildered throughout.

Ah?

They've all discovered Ran Zirou?

The three of them were surprisingly in agreement.

Instead of wasting time staying by Zhu Liang's side, it would be better to deal with Ran Zirou, the culprit.

Although they couldn't kill Ran Zirou directly, they could come up with an excuse to send Ran Zirou back to the Sect to be kept under surveillance.

Li Zi's reaction drew criticism from the system: "[Host, your Cultivation is now much higher than Ran Zirou's. Given the current gap between you, even if Ran Zirou jumps, she can only hit your knee. Is it necessary to be so afraid of her?]"

Li Zi forced a dry smile. [That's the female lead with the aura of Everyone's Darling Halo. Her own Cultivation is low, but the men beside her have very high Cultivation.]
