Chapter 2328: Arrest
Little aunt taught me to be honest and to not lie, but she seems to be pretty good at lying...
Pei Mianman and the others didn’t know the truth and immediately became worried. They quickly asked what was going on.
Ji Xiaoxi explained what had just happened with a huge smile on her face. Her tone was full of admiration for Zu An.
Jiang Luofu sighed when she saw this.
Xiaoxi has really become Ah Zu’s little fan.
Fortunately, because she was too adorable, nothing about her was even mildly threatening, whether in terms of appearance or personality. The other women didn’t seem to be guarded against Xiaoxi at all.
Yun Yuqing was filled with righteous indignation. She harrumphed and said, “It’s that Manager Pi’s fault for being a toad and craving swan\'s flesh. He actually tried to go after big sis Jiang and Xiaoxi! He deserved to be taught a good lesson.”
“But that Manager Pi is the Monster Lord’s... close friend.” Xie Daoyun blushed. As a young lady, she just found that subject a bit hard to talk about. “But, big brother Zu, aren\'t you worried that the Monster Lord will blame you for offending him?”
The women were all worried when they heard that.
“It’s fine. The Monster Lord still needs me to act as a spy and help the Lord of Slaughter’s side. He won’t do anything to me in the short term,” Zu An replied.
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t asked to pick medicines, these things wouldn’t have happened.” Ji Xiaoxi was full of remorse. Tears even appeared in her eyes, seeming as if they would fall at any time.
The other women all tried to console her. “How is that your fault? You wanted to help everyone too, and we did manage to find the medicine. We can now make drugs that will be useful against the monsters, which will be a great help.”
Zu An also spoke up to comfort her. “Xiaoxi, don’t worry about those things. The Monster World is one where strength rules above all. It was necessary to show that we aren’t pushovers. Besides, judging from what the great elder said, I reckon that Manager Pi probably came after me in the first place. He only harassed the two of you as a pretext to make a fuss.”
“Was he worried that you would steal his position as male pet?” Suolun Shi had always been sharp, and she\'d been born from a king race. She quickly deduced Manager Pi’s motives.
Everyone else’s expressions became strange.
Zu An felt the situation was a bit unlucky, but in the end, they just laughed the whole matter off. He changed the topic and shared the information he \'d gotten from the great elder with everyone else.
When they heard that the Fiend races’ first ancestors had just been some servants of the True Demon race, and that the great elder’s speech was full of disdain toward the Fiend races, Yun Yuqing and Suolun Shi’s expressions became a bit unpleasant.
“There\'s no need for you to feel worried. This is merely the great elder’s one sided story. It might not be true,” Zu An said, trying to appease them.
Suolun Shi said with a bitter smile, “The True Demons could activate our ancient bloodlines, which means they\'re clearly beings of a higher level than us.”
Yun Yuqing’s expression darkened as well. The thought of having a servant’s bloodline always left one feeling inferior.
Zu An said with a serious expression, “I\'ve always opposed the idea of class division. Just because your blood is more noble, you can hold power and authority forever? Kings and lords hold hereditary claims to power, but individual strength is also important. You all know just how many rulers have been destroyed throughout history, only for another powerful individual to take their place. They then establish a new country or clan.”
The women nodded. They knew that the reason why big brother Zu had been able to grow to this extent was because, even though the miraculous encounters he\'d experienced were important, what mattered most was his strong and unyielding heart.
Yun Yuqing and Suolun Shi both felt inspired. “What big brother Zu said is correct. As people who live in this world, how could we let something like this decide our fate?”
They were all feeling more motivated than ever now. They all began to explore the great elder’s secrets.
“What is that Celestial Court the great elder mentioned?”
When he sensed the women\'s confusion, Zu An shared the intelligence he had. “I’ve heard some legends surrounding the Celestial Court. However, I’m not sure if they\'re true.”
He then told them about the Celestial Court and its deities from the myths of his previous world. The women were all amazed as they listened.
“This clear and detailed division of the Celestial Court is clearly not something that can be explained through ordinary hearsay. Big brother Zu, just where did you hear about all of this from?” Yun Yuqing asked curiously.
“That’s right. There are some deities that I seem to have heard of, but most of them are unfamiliar to me. Moreover, the knowledge is so methodical and full of detail that it’s clearly not something that was just made up out of thin air.” Jiang Luofu was also a bit confused. As a lawyer, she had come across all manner of knowledge. There was probably no one here who had read more books than her.
Zu An wanted to say that he\'d learned it from some secret dungeons\' ancient texts, but he was worried that such an excuse wouldn\'t be enough to fool the well-learned Jiang Luofu, and would only produce greater misunderstandings. That was why he said, “I frequently have dreams of another world. These are all things from that other world.”
He couldn\'t just say he was a transmigrator, right? He could only answer them like this.
When they heard him say that, the women were even more surprised.
“There are dreams that are this miraculous?”
“But these dreams seem to be really detailed and reliable, unlike normal dreams. Could these be some memories from big brother Zu’s previous life?”
“Ah Zu is incredible after all. I’ve heard that when some powerful individuals reincarnate, as their strength gradually increases, theygradually regain some past memories. I used to turn up my nose at such sayings, but to think it was actually true!”
“I wonder what kind of person big brother Zu was in his past life, or what world he came from?”
“I feel like big brother Zu is just big brother Zu. He’s not some reincarnated version of someone else.”
...
As he listened to the women chatter on and on, their stories growing more and more ridiculous, Zu An quickly stopped them. “I’ve actually encountered a Celestial Court in a secret dungeon before too.”
Then, he told them about what he\'d experienced in the Fiend races\' Imperial Tomb secret dungeon. The women listened with sparkling eyes.
Suolun Shi said excitedly, “Our Fiend races do have a connection with the Celestial Court after all!”
Jiang Luofu noticed that when she looked at Zu An, Ji Xiaoxi’s eyes were full of stars. Actually, it wasn’t just her; the other young ladies were the same. Her expression couldn\'t help but become complicated.
Just some random experiences Ah Zu had gone through were more exciting than ten lifetimes of an ordinary person! Perhaps it was also these rich experiences that gave him his special presence, right? How could these young ladies resist a man like this who was so full of mysteries?
“But last time, I only saw the Celestial Court from afar and never interacted closely. I don’t know if it\'s the same Celestial Court as the one the True Demon great elder was talking about.”
“I think there is most likely some connection. After all, that Celestial Court was in the Fiend races\' Imperial Tomb secret dungeon. How can it just be that much of a coincidence?” Jiang Luofu concluded using the knowledge she\'d gained from the numerous books she read over the years.
“Tight, that’s what I think too.” Zu An became quiet. It now seemed that his transmigration to the Cultivation World likely wasn\'t a coincidence. After all, he had even met the Necropolis Emperor personally. It wouldn’t be all that surprising for him to encounter the real Celestial Court later, right?
While everyone was discussing the Celestial Court, the sound of a giant eagle flapping its wings filled the air. Then, a burst of hurried footsteps drew near.
“Donaire, bad news!” the great elder called out.
Zu An was surprised and quickly went out. He was a bit anxious now too. He knew something major had happened. He asked, “Great elder, what is it?”
The great elder didn’t waste any time and immediately got to the point. “Manager Pi has died. The Monster Lord is furious, and I heard that he has sent his men to arrest you!”
