Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 23: After countless years, you will understand.

Under the respectful gaze of the Qibao Hotel owner, Zhong Li and Paimon left the Qibao Hotel without making a sound.

"The Supreme Elder's Decree..."

"He... he actually used the Supreme Elder's Decree to put the account on hold!"

The owner of Qibao Hotel watched Zhong Li and Paimon's departing figures, feeling a mix of emotions.

The Supreme Elder's Decree does indeed have this function, but I have never heard of any Supreme Elder under my command having been listed on it.

The bill was sent to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...

That's even more impossible!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has two Supreme Elders: Chen Xin and Gu Rong.

Whenever Ning Fengzhi leaves the sect, a Supreme Elder must accompany him.

The other elder is responsible for protecting the sect.

They almost never had the opportunity to act alone, so how could they possibly have put up an account?

Are we going to make Ningfengzhi Travel pay for it?

Obviously, this is impossible.

The Supreme Elder's Token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot be faked; any direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can distinguish it.

Besides, who would dare to forge the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's token?

Once discovered, it will be a fight to the death!

Should I send the bill or not?

The shop owner fell into deep thought.

If it's just his own Supreme Elder's expense, does he expect to ask the sect for money?

Regardless of whether Zhong Li is a Supreme Elder or not, or whether he has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, since he holds the Supreme Elder's Token, he is the Supreme Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

It isn't now, but with the efforts of the sect leader and the sect, it will be in the future!

Back then, Sword Douluo Chen Xin was moved by Ning Fengzhi's sincerity, which is why he resolutely joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and became its guardian!

The shop owner knew that Zhongli was a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring.

He already knew about it yesterday, before Zhongli and "Xue Qinghe" even entered the Qibao Hotel.

"Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi, you truly live up to your title as sect leader! Your methods are beyond my reach."

"The sect can go even further in your hands."

This is Tiandou City, and the Qibao Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Tiandou City, bar none!

How could the person stationed here not be a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

In terms of relationship, the shop owner is Ning Fengzhi's cousin.

A level 72 support-type Soul Saint!

He once had the potential to become the sect leader.

However, the old sect leader chose Ning Fengzhi instead of him.

He had never been convinced of this until Ning Fengzhi brought in the pillar of the sect, Chen Xin.

He was convinced...

Zhongli's side.

Paimon turned his head and said very seriously, "Zhongli, I have a feeling that this shop owner is someone with a lot of history. Why don't we go back and investigate?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li's eyes twitched, his mouth opened slightly, but he hesitated to speak.

Paimon, is this just your professional habit kicking in?

Should we go back and investigate?

They discovered he was a Soul Saint, and then listened to his stories, such as "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," and "Never underestimate a young man's potential."

Then, help him fulfill his wish...

Finally, he gave us over a million gold soul coins and experience points...

Wait, something strange has gotten mixed in!

"As expected of a mission expert!"

"The reason travelers are so busy is 99% because of you, isn't it?"

"It's just that travelers don't know what it means to refuse..."

Thinking of this, Zhongli looked up at the sky and said, "Paimon, humans all have their own secrets, and we need to respect their privacy and secrets."

"Instead of digging into the root of the problem."

Paimon was taken aback. Zhongli's words seemed to make a lot of sense, but something about them seemed off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

That's not right.

"Zhong Li, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Does Paimon look like an idiot?

Paimon put his hands on his hips and questioned him.

Zhong Li lowered his head, glanced sideways, and remained silent.

"No, what are you hesitating for?!"

Zhong Li actually hesitated!

Paimon stomped his foot in the void, his face filled with rage!

If she weren't so weak that she couldn't even beat one of Zhongli's fingers, she would have jumped up and punched Zhongli in the knee!

"We don't know the secrets of humanity, so how can we help them?"

Paimon tried to reason with Zhongli.

Why should we help them?

"Because, because..."

Paimon was momentarily speechless.

Because of Mora, or because of something else?

Yes, why should we help them?

At that moment, Paimon fell into deep thought.

Is it because of the bond between friends?

Or is it because...

"Humans, like demons, must first learn to grow on their own."

"I wasn't born strong either. If I don't learn to be strong, I'm destined to perish."

"I won't intervene unless it's a life-or-death situation."

After saying this, Zhongli walked towards the teahouse on his own.

Paimon was stunned for a moment; Zhongli's profound words left her somewhat confused.

He could help many people with just a few clicks of his finger.

But he insists on waiting until people are in dire straits before making a move. Isn't that insane?

"Hey, Zhong Li!"

"Wait for me!"

"There are some things you're saying that I don't understand!"

"After countless years, you will understand."

Zhong Li didn't say these words out loud. Before, when there was no one around, he could chat with Paimon for a while longer, but it was different here.

With the loss of a Geo Archon, the people of Liyue have learned resilience and how to cope with crises. Zhongli is very gratified; he can finally relieve himself of the burden on his shoulders.

The people of Douluo Continent now live a relatively stable life, except for the oppression from the nobles.

Someone will take care of this.

They don't need a Rock King from another world.

If things get really bad and disrupt his life...

Just like the evil spirit masters who ravaged the continent ten thousand years later.

Then he will make a move!

"Sigh~"

"Is the demon god's kindness also a curse, a form of attrition?"

Demons are all benevolent, especially when it comes to their subjects and humans.

However, when using inappropriate methods, they did not consider whether their people could bear it.

Take, for example, that lonely king in the tower. Doesn't He love His people?

The way He used it was simply unbearable for His people.

If He had not voluntarily chosen to be killed, how could a mere wind elemental spirit have possibly been able to kill Him and thus gain His authority?

That's the lonely king in the tower!

A demon god whose combat power is at least in the top ten!

Time flies, and two days later it was already past.

That morning, Xue Qinghe arrived at Zhongli Manor, had breakfast with Zhongli and Paimeng, and then took her leave as she headed to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt souls.

This departure may take at least ten days to half a month before he can return.

That's why he came to tell Zhong Li, so that Zhong Li wouldn't think he was neglecting him.

"Qinghe, please be careful!"

"Okay, Paimon!"

After Xue Qinghe left, Paimon's eyes lit up. She remembered that Zhongli had said two days ago that he would take her to the Star Dou Great Forest in two days.

"Zhongli, when are we leaving?"

"We'll set off once she's gone a bit further away."

"???"
