Chapter 807: The elusive Zhang Daohe

~8 min read 1,478 words

Writing down the "Ascension Record" from memory is easy.

Chen Guanlou picked up his pen and wrote, finishing in one go. Without sleep or rest, enduring the discomfort in his body, he wrote it all down in one breath.

Throwing the brush aside, drinking a pot of water, he walked out of the house with big strides.

The sun was bright, and his mood was half happy and half worried.

He walked straight toward the outdoors, encountering no one blocking him along the way, and not even seeing anyone.

Walking all the way to the gate, a person who looked like a gatekeeper came out. "Go slowly, Official Chen!"

"Where is Eunuch Wei?"

The gatekeeper smiled flatteringly. "This little one doesn't know!"

"Do you know me?"

"This little one received notice saying that Official Chen was going to leave, so this little one has been waiting here for a long time."

"Are there any other instructions?"

"None!"

Fine!

That's great!

"Tell Eunuch Wei that this junior has completed the task and is now taking his leave. I wish him longevity as the Eastern Sea and life as long as the Southern Mountain!"

As the words fell, he was already outside the gate.

A nightmare had finally ended.

Hurry home to recuperate.

Must do surface work and recuperate for half a month.

Lying on the bed at home, the house that had been messed up by Zhou Mobai had already been cleaned up by someone.

He was looking forward to Zhang Daohe taking action more than at any other moment, taking the opportunity to catch this group of bullying bastards in one fell swoop. The so-called early Great Yu Dynasty ancient tomb, it would be best if it were full of traps, with immortal defensive means emerging one after another, so that even a Grandmaster would have to lose a layer of skin.

As if it were a hallucination, while he was thinking, Zhang Daohe actually appeared in his house.

He woke up with a start, pinched himself silently—pain, it was a real person, not a hallucination.

"How did you appear in my house?"

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, your vigilance has dropped a lot. You truly suffered a great disaster last night!"

Zhang Daohe sat on a chair, crossing his legs, his expression smiling but not smiling, looking like he was watching a good show.

Chen Guanlou:...

Truly hellish.

Running into his house in broad daylight, he is truly not afraid of being discovered.

"If I shout, you're done for?"

"Are you sure it's me who is done for, and not you?" Zhang Daohe smiled. "Now you know what kind of people Grandmasters are. Relying on their profound cultivation, they act unscrupulously. How does it feel to encounter killing to seize treasure?"

"How do you know?" Chen Guanlou got off the bed and drank a cup of tea. "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

He didn't believe that when the incident happened, the other party was nearby watching coldly. With the cultivation of Zhou Mobai and Wei Wubing, there was no reason they wouldn't discover someone hiding nearby.

Was the other party bluffing him?

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes."

Chen Guanlou sneered. "Do you think I believe you?"

"Why don't you believe it? Just because my cultivation isn't as good as those two. But you forgot, I had a strange encounter before and obtained a great opportunity. It's normal to have obtained some methods to hide traces and aura, right?"

Zhang Daohe said casually, looking like his great opportunity was far more than what he thought.

Chen Guanlou was stunned for a moment, staring at him. "Invisibility Talisman?"

"Invisibility Talisman? That's a good name." Zhang Daohe raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Chen Guanlou, have you thought it through? Do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Tell me first, were you truly there last night?" Chen Guanlou confirmed again and again.

Zhang Daohe smiled complacently, his expression quite proud. He showed off: "Not only was I there, I watched Zhou Mobai kill his way here, and then watched you flee in a sorry state and call for Wei Wubing to save your life.

Who could have thought that Wei Wubing was also a ruthless character. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, oh Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you are also unlucky; just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth. I was anxious for you.

The one surnamed Wei has ruthless means; using inhumane means to torture people is his signature skill. You are young, so it is understandable that you don't know these things. Meeting him, you are truly unlucky. This is called a biting dog that doesn't bark.

If it were me, I would rather deal with the irritable Zhou Mobai than deal with the eunuch surnamed Wei."

"Zhou Mobai didn't give me a chance to argue; he wanted to kill at the drop of a hat. Look at how many moves I can survive under his hands?" Chen Guanlou teased himself.

Almost capsized in the gutter last night. Wei Wubing is truly ruthless!

He used to praise Eunuch Wei as a good person.

People who come out of the palace, where are there any good people!

People who come out of the palace are all perverts. It's his own fault for being self-righteous, forgetting the fact that the truth is the truth because it was a lesson learned in blood and tears.

Deserved this disaster!

It was just a joke, but Zhang Daohe answered seriously: "You have a life-saving treasure. Even if you can't win, you can still escape; I have confidence in you."

"I don't have confidence in myself!" Chen Guanlou sneered, calling the kid from next door, Chunxiang's sister-in-law's house, and throwing a string of coins over the wall. He asked the kid to run an errand for him and order a table of wine and dishes from a restaurant to be delivered.

"It's rare to have a chance to chat calmly with Brother Zhang. Today, my treat; Brother Zhang, don't be polite."

"Of course I won't be polite with you. However, you were injured just last night; is it appropriate to eat and drink like this now?"

"Won't die!"

Chen Guanlou leaned back in his chair brazenly. "Last night you watched me suffer, and you didn't even help me. I almost died."

Zhang Daohe said casually: "If you had died, I would have burned a stick of incense for you. As for helping you, I'm not arrogant enough to deal with two Grandmasters at the same time. Besides, I have always believed that a scourge lasts for a thousand years; you definitely wouldn't die."

"Thanks to Brother Zhang for thinking highly of me. I didn't expect that in your eyes, I am actually a scourge." Chen Guanlou bared his teeth, always thinking he was a law-abiding citizen, never expecting to be a scourge.

"If it were an ordinary person in your position, the grass on their grave would already be a person's height. Only you have lived safely until now; if you aren't a scourge, what are you? Brother Chen, why not give me a straight answer: do you want to cooperate or not?"

"Cooperate with you, I'm afraid no one will burn incense for me after I die." Chen Guanlou complained fiercely; anyway, there was plenty of time, so he could just spout nonsense. The one who was anxious wasn't him, but the other party.

Zhang Daohe asked him to cooperate with empty teeth, without any sincerity, and he wasn't stupid.

Zhang Daohe's expression stiffened. "You would rather believe those two Grandmasters who wanted to kill you than believe me?"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and mocked directly: "I don't believe anyone. You suddenly appeared in my house and asked me to cooperate with you. Come, tell me, how to cooperate, how to distribute the benefits, who puts in the effort, who acts as the stepping stone?

There is no content, and you ask me to cooperate as soon as you open your mouth; is there such a way to cooperate?

Brother Zhang, oh Brother Zhang, you can't just because I call you Brother Zhang, you really treat yourself as the big brother. Even if you want to be the big brother, at least show some sincerity!"

"Don't see the rabbit, don't throw the hawk!"

"That's right!"

"You are afraid of those two Grandmasters, but you aren't afraid of me?"

"Come, come, come, kill me! If you can kill me, consider yourself capable!" Chen Guanlou sat like a general, his attitude wanton, not panicked at all.

A makeshift Grandmaster, daring to run wild and threaten him in his presence—he truly has no idea how much he weighs!

Below the Grandmaster level, all are ants. But no one ever said that below a makeshift Grandmaster, all are ants!
