Chapter 502 - 0304 Ms. Zhu (Two-in-One)

Sometimes, Xu Chang’an finds this Senior Zhu amusing.

She is like a blue fat cat from a past life, someone trustworthy, always able to help at critical moments.

Whether it’s sensing his desire to cultivate, offering valuable opportunities to Miss Yun, or effortlessly handling the small matter of the Cyan-eyed Tiger.

He is always willing to share with her and seek her assistance.

If he respects Li Zhibai, his feelings towards Zhu Pingniang are less respectful. After all, a woman who constantly teases juniors doesn’t seem very serious.

So, sometimes calling her Ms. Zhu feels less forced.

Calling her Senior, on the other hand, feels awkward.

She’s more like an elder, not exactly a Senior.

He can always rely on her, regardless of the situation.

Thus, even though Zhu Pingniang hasn’t yet mentioned anything about Miss Yun’s Elixir Field, Xu Chang’an remains calm and patiently waits.

However.

Seeing the massive, pitch-black hammer in Zhu Pingniang’s hand, large enough to cover his head, Xu Chang’an sighs gently.

Indeed, she really is like a blue fat cat.

Whether it’s the sinister green dagger from earlier or this hammer, which seems to reflect the passage of time through its non-reflective black surface, they are unmistakable as powerful Magical Artifacts.

She possesses countless treasures.

Xu Chang’an’s eye twitches.

These don’t justify her hitting him on the head with a hammer.

If something this big were to strike his head, who knows if he’d survive.

He lifts his head to look at Zhu Pingniang.

With the hairpin thrown into the water, Zhu Pingniang’s usual bun has fallen, making her look at least ten years younger with her long black hair, even younger than Yun Qian, and calling her sister feels entirely fitting.

Zhu Pingniang tightly grips the hammer, her delicate nails gleaming under the light outside the window.

She’s serious.

"Everything I said earlier, you heard clearly, right? Whether it’s about the Sect Leader or Ah Bai..." Zhu Pingniang says, slowly standing up.

With an enchanting smile, she holds the heavy hammer, saying to Xu Chang’an, "Don’t worry, this thing is a Soul Artifact I obtained by killing the current Second Elder of the Demon Sect. With just a gentle tap, it’ll be enough to make you forget everything you’ve heard just now... hmm, trust me, I’ll use just the right force, it won’t hurt much."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

The Second Elder of the Demon Sect...

Though Xu Chang’an doesn’t know the level, he quickly realizes this steward he calls sister might be much stronger than he imagined.

This applies to the teacher as well.

Suddenly, Xu Chang’an feels as if everything has changed.

Could it be...

He has powerful backing?

"What’s going through your mind?" Zhu Pingniang tilts her head, softly saying, "That old thing from the Demon Sect was really hard to kill. If I hadn’t asked Ah Bai to help me, he might have escaped..."

Zhu Pingniang pauses and says, "Xiaochang’an, you’re not thinking of defying me, are you? Let me tell you in advance, the position of the Demon Sect’s Grand Elder has been vacant for a while now."

She feels it’s time for this young man to know he has strong support; the cultivation path is tough, and she wants him to show more determination—It’s what Li Zhibai mentioned in the Jade Scrolls.

Especially after Zhu Pingniang recently learned of Xu Chang’an’s worsening reputation in Chaoyun Sect, she felt she couldn’t remain passive.

Even that awkward girl Wen Li knows to support him, how could she, his initial guide, stand by idly?

So Zhu Pingniang tells Xu Chang’an.

She’s powerful.

Li Zhibai, Zhu Tongjun are the Hidden Immortals.

Beneath the Demon Sect Leader, the first position was shattered by Zhu Tongjun effortlessly. From their first encounter, he had only one option—to flee.

Outside Chang’an Province, the Demon Race and Demon Sect can square off against her, only the Sect Leader and the first......

No, only the Sect Leader.

The first position among Demon Sect Elders remains vacant, for reasons unknown.

It’s peculiar; given the Demon Sect’s nature, the first position should be fiercely contested. Why is it vacant?

Zhu Pingniang doesn’t realize as she speaks, she unconsciously moves closer to Xu Chang’an.

Just such a few steps closer clears her mind; like rains after a drought, she can’t help but take deep breaths.

Strange.

Why is the first position vacant in the Demon Sect?

Also, if the Demon Sect is this weak, how is the balance maintained?

It’s puzzling.

Zhu Pingniang thinks so.

But soon, her memory reminds her all is arranged by Shi Qingjun; all they need to do is follow instructions.

Right now, a Grand Elder erased from existence by Miss Yun due to delaying Xu Chang’an’s dinner, brings Zhu Pingniang some inexplicable oddness.

It shouldn’t be this way, but that’s because Xu Chang’an is by her side.

He’s the best code to follow.

As long as she stays close to him, Miss Yun’s influence falters.

Zhu Pingniang shakes her head, casting away distracting thoughts, smiling and staring at Xu Chang’an’s head: "A tap from sister, and you’ll lose your memory."

"..." Xu Chang’an.

Memory loss?

This hammer, seems to cause physical amnesia for sure.
