Wang Quanba, who had been staring blankly at her from the tree, quickly turned away, looking guilty, leaving Dongfang Huaizhu with only his back.

Where am I?

Dongfang Huaizhu touched her still slightly aching head and muttered to herself.

"Girl, you're finally awake."

Dongfang Huaizhu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person in the tree. He was holding a sword, wearing a mask, and standing sideways.

"A mask... a sword... could he be the legendary masked swordsman?"

Back when they were at the inn, Dongfang Huaizhu had already learned about the existence of this masked sword immortal from Ximen Chuisha and the other two.

At that moment, looking at Wang Quanba's back, Dongfang Huaizhu instantly conceived the image of an incomparably handsome masked sword immortal in her mind.

Wang Quanba jumped down from the tree and slowly walked towards Dongfang Huaizhu. His mask gradually appeared in front of Dongfang Huaizhu in the shadow of the tree.

"Now that you have awakened, I have a favor to ask."

"Crack!"

When the mask of Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye was fully revealed to Dongfang Huaizhu, the expression on Dongfang Huaizhu's face instantly became incredibly interesting.

I felt as if the masked swordsman I had conceived had shattered like glass!

"Can you turn your face away?!"

At that moment, looking at that comical mask, Dongfang Huaizhu almost shouted out loud.

Undeniably, every girl has dreamed of a prince charming, but now, Dongfang Huaizhu feels that her dream has been shattered...

Chapter Ninety-Seven: "Qin Lan of the East"

Leaving aside the romantic displays of affection by Wang Quanbaye, Zhuge Ming's side arrived at the place where the Spider Demon had built the Star-Picking Tower. (Ice and Fire Chinese www.XBing.Cc)

Li Quzhuo examined the purple miasma beneath his feet and helplessly shrugged at Zhuge Ming: "Second brother, you know I'm not good at fighting, so I really can't do anything about this miasma formation."

Zhuge glanced at him and said, "Heh, did you think I called you here to fight? If you don't know how to fight, just stay on the sidelines and be a lazy bum, cheering '666'. Don't ruin your brother's marriage."

However, setting up a formation in front of Zhuge Ming, a master of formations, was like showing off one's skills before an expert. This formation was full of flaws, and he could find at least four places to break it at a glance.

However, Zhuge Ming did not intend to break the formation directly. After all, Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye would need it to show off in front of the beauty later, and he did not want to alert the enemy too early.

"It's okay. Look around and see if there are any other exits. Then wait here for your older brother to come. I'll go in and take a look first."

Without waiting for Li Quzhuo to nod, he traversed into the miasma. In the face of the spatial concept of "a world within a small space," this miasma formation was indeed somewhat impressive, but it was still not enough!

Li Quzhuo stared speechlessly at the spot where Zhuge Ming had disappeared, feeling a pang of envy in his heart.

"Leaving me alone again... Oh well, I'm used to it. But Second Brother's magic is really overpowered, I'm so envious."

He then shook his head and began to examine the formation.

…………

Inside the formation, without anyone noticing, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Trafficking...underage girls!!!!"

Zhuge Ming had just entered and hadn't even had a chance to take in his surroundings when a powerful but somewhat childish sonic boom sent him staggering.

"Damn, she comes in and immediately launches this indiscriminate attack. Judging from that voice, it must be that little girl Dongfang Qinlan. No wonder they're mother and son, they're just like that guy Dongfang Yuechu..."

Speaking of Dongfang Yuechu, Zhuge Ming really misses him. It's been so many years since he last saw him. He wonders how that kid is doing in the Dao Alliance now.

Zhuge Ming draped himself in a Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation to conceal his figure, and silently flew towards the direction from which the sound came.

"Illegal imprisonment of a gentle and sweet little girl!!!"

Zhuge Ming had just flown to the entrance of a cave when he saw two poor little demons being sprayed out by a large ball of pure Yang Flame.

Seeing this, Zhuge Ming was speechless. You call this a gentle and sweet little loli? Then wouldn't my Ya Ya be a cute and kind little fox demon? He recognized her immediately; she was another formidable lady.

"Speaking of which, isn't this ambition of hegemony unnecessary? I see this young lady living quite comfortably here."

Leaning against the cave entrance, arms crossed, Zhuge Ming watched with amusement as the two little demons helplessly served the little girl a feast of fish and meat. He smiled knowingly, seeing the shadow of Tu Shan Ya Ya in Dongfang Qin Lan.

She's just as willful, and just as helpless against her.

"drink!!"

Just as Zhuge Ming was idly wondering why Wang Quanba hadn't come over yet, a strong sword aura suddenly emanated from the sky. Zhuge Ming looked up and saw that the thick clouds had been neatly split in two!

"A sword pierces the clouds, what a magnificent sword strike! It's certainly cool, but do you know that this sword strike cost you a fortune... cough cough, no, no, what am I thinking?"

Zhuge Ming knew that Wang Quanbaye did this to create a visually stunning effect; otherwise, given his control over magic, he wouldn't have needed to cleave such a large opening if only two people were inside.

So, this guy is probably trying to pick up girls. No wonder he's the eldest son of the Wang family; his methods for pursuing women are quite sophisticated. I've learned something; I'll quickly write it down in my notebook.

Sure enough, the effect was obvious. From Zhuge Ming's perspective, the two people who were fighting the little demon had already started holding hands. Of course, it was only that the shameless Wang Quan Baye who grabbed the girl's arm.

"It seems I can't stay here any longer."

With the illusion removed, Zhuge Ming was instantly exposed to everyone's view.

"You are... uh!"

The two little demons were stunned when they saw Zhuge Ming suddenly appear in front of them, and then they were knocked unconscious by Zhuge Ming's Qiankun Fan.

Of course, Zhuge Ming did not kill them. After all, Zhuge Ming was not a man who killed indiscriminately, and these two little demons were actually quite interesting, so Zhuge Ming spared their lives.

Then, to Dongfang Qinlan's astonishment, Zhuge Ming waved his hand and used his magic to destroy the cage.

"Alright, little girl, come out now. Your sister and brother-in-law are coming to rescue you."

"Who are you? And why are you wearing such a strange mask? Also, what brother-in-law?" Dongfang Qinlan jumped out of the cage and stood next to Zhuge Ming, looking at him suspiciously.

"That's right... Holy crap!"

Just as Zhuge Ming was about to tease the little girl, a sword light that pierced through the mountain grazed Zhuge Ming's right shoulder, startling him so much that he immediately used the "Close to the Ends of the Earth" technique to temporarily become ethereal.

"Oh, Kongming, you're here too?"

Not long after, Wang Quanba Ye led Dongfang Huaizhu in with an innocent look on his face.

"Qin Lan!!!" Upon seeing Dongfang Qin Lan, Dongfang Huaizhu immediately broke free from Wang Quanba Ye's grasp and ran towards her younger sister.

However, this did not escape the eyes of the clever little girl, Dongfang Qinlan. Now she finally understood what that strange guy meant by "brother-in-law."

Without a word, Zhuge Ming turned around, grabbed Wang Quanba Ye by the collar, and said in a low voice, "Hey kid, are you thinking of chopping me down too?"

"How could that be? We're brothers, how could I possibly want to kill you? Besides, I didn't even manage to kill you, did I?" Wang Quanba turned his head away guiltily, avoiding eye contact with Zhuge Ming.

But actually, he did it on purpose. He had been "bullied" by Zhuge Ming for years, and now that he finally had a legitimate opportunity to take revenge on Zhuge Ming, how could he let it go so easily? After all, the "shame" on his mask had not yet been erased.

Wang Quanba Ye vaguely realized that the reason why Dongfang Huaizhu wouldn't let him turn his face around was most likely because of the painting Zhuge Ming had drawn on his mask. Otherwise, his mask was so cute, how could anyone not like it!

Of course, this was just a joke between them; Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye would never actually kill Zhuge Ming.

"Oh? Really? You're such a good brother!"

Zhuge Ming smiled mysteriously, slowly released his hand, and patted Wang Quanba Ye on the shoulder, then walked out of the cave as if nothing had happened.

"?????"

Seeing Zhuge Ming's unusual behavior, Wang Quanba began to panic. He realized he had messed things up. What should he do? (Waiting for an answer online, it's urgent.)

Chapter Ninety-Eight: "Passerby"

"Is your friend alright?"

Behind them, Dongfang Huaizhu, holding her younger sister's hand, walked to Wang Quanba's side and looked at Zhuge Ming's retreating figure, asking with a puzzled expression. (Biquge www.Biqushu.net)

"It should be... fine."

Wang Quanba could certainly say with certainty that Zhuge Ming was alright, because he knew that he himself would be the one in trouble later.

However, he certainly couldn't say these things in front of Dongfang Huaizhu, so he took the sword sheath from Dongfang Huaizhu's hand and said softly, "Miss, your magic power is quite remarkable. There are other people imprisoned here, so I'll trouble you to take them out."

Dongfang Huaizhu was taken aback. She knew that the masked swordsman in front of her was going to fight the demon king.

"Be careful, the eyes under that demon king's armpits are extremely powerful."

"Don't worry, young lady. With your help, I'm confident I can defeat that demon king!"

Wang Quanba smiled confidently. It wasn't that he was confident; within this Southern Kingdom, apart from the Southern Demon King Huan Du Qingtian, there was no one else who could threaten his life!

Oh, right, we also need to add the guy who just walked out.

Although he had never seen his second brother make a move over the years, Wang Quanba knew that his strength far exceeded his imagination.

Dongfang Qinlan asked her older sister with a mocking look, "Sister, who is he? His mask is so ugly, even uglier than that weirdo from before."

"Yes, but the person is alright."

Dongfang Huaizhu stared blankly in the direction Wang Quanba had left, and murmured softly.

Although young, Dongfang Qinlan was quite precocious. Seeing her older sister's expression, Qinlan knew that her sister was probably about to fall in love...

Leaving aside how Wang Quanba Ye simply and brutally "tricked his son," Zhuge Ming came out of the cave and walked to the side of a servant boy who had fainted by the roadside.

"Hmm? This is... a Thousand-Mile Pursuit Talisman?"

Seeing the familiar talisman on the child's back, Zhuge Ming understood something.

"What a fine disciple of the Dongfang family, Jin Renfeng! He really cares a lot about these two sisters."

At that moment, a dangerous glint appeared in Zhuge Ming's eyes, but he quickly sighed helplessly.

Over the years, he had tried to change some outcomes, but for some reason, now that he was in this timeline, he was unable to change anything that had already happened in the original timeline.

Later, Zhuge Ming gradually realized that he was already a part of this time and space, and he could only act as a passerby to complete what had already happened.

In other words, no matter what Zhuge Ming wanted to do, it would eventually become what was recorded in the original timeline due to various factors.

For example, Zhuge Ming has been avoiding building up his power for years because he wants to see if not establishing "Hidden Dragon" means he has escaped this dead end.

What's baffling is that the person and the demon he casually saved back then have started building their own power under his name over the years, claiming that although their power is small, they still want to repay Zhuge Ming's gratitude.

Thus, the predecessor of the Dao Alliance's intelligence agency, "Hidden Dragon," was established.

It's like an ouroboros; you never know what the past is or what the future holds.

However, Zhuge Ming gradually came to terms with it. He realized that he had already changed a lot, so why should he ask for more?

Just as the moon has its phases, life is full of disappointments; just take it easy.

Zhuge Ming really wanted to help the Dongfang Huaizhu sisters, but he knew that no matter what he did now, what was destined to happen would still happen.
