"Tell me, what happened these days?"

In the east courtyard of the Imperial Academy, Confucius forced himself to stand up, leaning his back against the head of the bed, looking at the little guy in front of him, and asked gently.

"Not much has happened. Last time at the Scar of Sky, everything was pretty much as you said."

Li Ziye sat on the bed and narrated with a smile, "Originally, Tan Tai Jingyue and I planned to open a space channel from Kunlun Xu to return to Jiuzhou. Later, we found that this plan was temporarily unworkable. Kunlun Xu did not have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and we could not solve the time and space laws that enveloped Kunlun Xu. When we were thinking of a solution, the third princess of the old gods, Luo Jia, appeared in Kunlun Xu, so I chased her back to Chidi first..."

Inside the wooden house, Li Ziye recounted in detail what had happened in Kunlunxu and Chidi during those days. When he talked about the exciting parts, the two old men next to him were frightened.

“It was so thrilling.”

It was the first time for Faju to hear these stories, and his mood went up and down, and he was very nervous.

Why is this kid always so thrilling wherever he goes?

"awesome."

Confucius smiled and said, "My experience over the past thousand years is not as turbulent as yours in just a few years."

"That's what I said."

Li Ziye retorted angrily, "You have been invincible for a thousand years. Who can cause trouble for you? You don't even have a chance to make up for it."

"Haha, yes."

Confucius couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "A thousand years ago, I always felt that everything was so boring. It's not good to be too invincible."

"..."

Li Ziye rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the old man was in poor health, he really wanted to give him a shoulder throw!

"Boy, have you solved the problem of your lifespan?" Faju looked at the little guy in front of him and asked with concern.

"more or less."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "My life span will be fine. As long as I can find a way to sever my soul and drive the phoenix away, my troubles will be completely solved."

"Please go!" Phoenix corrected with great care in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Same idea." Li Ziye replied with a smile.

"To throw a peach, to return a plum."

Confucius seemed to sense the phoenix soul in the former's body and smiled, "Now, you are friends who have experienced life and death together. If you encounter any troubles in the future, you should support each other and face them together."

"There won't be any trouble."

Li Ziye waved his hand and said with great pride, "Master Confucian, you don't know that although I am not in the God Realm now, I am better than God Realm. Now is different from the past. My era has come. From now on, I will be the only one who can bully others!"

"is it?"

Confucius chuckled and said, "I think it's hard for you to beat Wang Yu."

"Little Red Riding Hood doesn't count!"

Li Ziye said dissatisfiedly, "He has the cheats you gave him. Besides, why should I fight Little Red Riding Hood? There are so many people I can beat, why should I pick someone I can't beat!"

"Makes sense."

Confucius nodded and said, "I forgot to tell you that the scholar and the demon goddess are almost at the double flower realm."

"So fast?"

Li Ziye was shocked and said with a wry smile, "Then I take back what I said."

"Speaking of scholars, have you figured out what to do with the Heavenly Book?"

Confucius changed the subject and asked, "Once I die, he will definitely come to snatch the Heavenly Book. The scholar is not an ordinary god, and with the Great Light Sword, you may not be able to stop him."

"Then give him the Book of Heaven first."

Li Ziye replied nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's useless for me to have the Heavenly Book now."

"Have you thought it through?" Confucius asked seriously.

"No."

Li Ziye said helplessly, "I can't beat him, and I don't want to expose my whereabouts for the time being, so I can only give him the Book of Heaven. Of course, there is another way."

At this point, Li Ziye paused and reminded, "Confucian Master, do you remember that the Shang Emperor once made a suggestion?"

"You mean, send the heavenly book to the palace?" Confucius asked with a serious expression.

"Correct."

Li Ziye said, "You can't just go to that palace whenever you want."

After hearing the little guy's proposal, Confucius looked thoughtful and said, "No matter which choice we make, the risk is not small."

"definitely."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "Now it's time to choose the lesser of two evils."

"The name of the scholar is on the heavenly book. Once it falls into the hands of the scholar, it is basically impossible for you to get it back."

Confucius reminded him, "Three days, you still have three days to think about it. After three days, give me an answer."

"Only three days left?" Li Ziye trembled, looked at the old man in front of him and asked.

"Ah."

Confucius nodded gently and replied, "Whatever you need to do, hurry up."

Li Ziye clenched his hands and said, "I'm going back to Yuzhou City first."

"Take the sword?" Confucius asked.

"Correct."

Li Ziye replied, "Huanzhu said that the sword that Mr. Wu used copper from other mountains to forge is almost finished."

"Go."

Confucius said, "Be careful on the road."

"clear."

Li Ziye stood up and was about to leave when he glanced at Fa Ru beside him and asked with concern, "Master Fa Ru, are you really not going to leave the mountain?"

"I don't have any plans for the moment."

Fa Ru shook his head and replied, "I have worked hard for half my life, let me rest for a few days."

"That's true."

Li Ziye smiled, said nothing more, and walked away.

Inside the wooden house, Fa Ru looked at the former's receding figure and said with a complicated expression, "Master Ru, this little guy has truly grown into a reassuring savior."

"Ah."

Confucius murmured softly, "Now that he is back, I can rest assured."

As the two were talking, Li Ziye's figure flashed outside the Imperial Academy and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Phoenix." Li Ziye said on the way.

"What's the matter?" Phoenix asked.

"I now feel that it is my luck to meet you." Li Ziye said very emotionally.

"Are you sick? That's not what you said just now." Phoenix responded with disgust.

"I mean it."

Li Ziye said seriously, "I have been trying to find a way to forge a sword of my own, but I have always had trouble finding all the materials. Now, I have finally found most of them."

"It's none of my business." Phoenix responded.

"Of course it's your business."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Because a key element in sword forging is the flame that can melt the Blazing Fire God Iron. I didn't have the means to do it before, but now, don't I have it?"

"Didn't you just say that the sword was almost ready?" Phoenix asked doubtfully.

"Not a handful."

Li Ziye replied, "This is the secondary sword, made of copper from another mountain, not the Blazing God Iron. As friends, I will give you the right to name it. How about that? Isn't that generous?"
