Chapter 2382: News of Xie Daoyun

The TScribe couldn't help but take a step back when he heard that. He had just seen how Zu An killed the Monster Lord, a substantially higher-level opponent. He was still a bit apprehensive. After all, in this place, Zu An represented the will of the world.

But he quickly realized something and waved the Nature Jade Plate in front of him. “I am not as useless as the Monster Lord, you know? Moreover, are you really not scared of this thing breaking if we fight?”

Zu An gave him a look. “This Nature Jade Plate is made of a very precious material. I fear you don’t have the ability to do something like destroying it.”

The TScribe nodded. “That’s right. Destroying this object is indeed hard, but destroying the spacetcoordinates recorded on it is quite easy. Perhaps you would never be able to find that segment of buried history again.”

“No!” Salamay immediately becreally worried. This was something her father had left behind. If they could return to that time, perhaps she'd still be able to reunite with her father, but if those coordinates were destroyed, everything would be over.

The TScribe didn’t look at her, and stared at the man in front of him instead. That was the only person who was worth meeting on equal footing here.

“Didn’t you say just now that the most enticing and precious things are secrets? And yet you claim you're going to destroy it yourself? How can you even face your own occupation if you do that?” Zu An frowned slightly. This person was too mysterious, and he didn’t have too much confidence in winning. If the TScribe insisted on destroying the spacetcoordinates recorded on it, there really wouldn’t be anything he could do.

“Only by staying alive can one be able to learn more secrets. To give up endless potential secrets for the sake of a single one is not something I desire,” the TScribe slowly said.

“You're quite good at sophistry.” Zu An sneered. “In that case, then, how about you leave that behind and I let you go?”

Before the TScribe said anything, Salamay suddenly exclaimed loudly, “He already learned the coordinates of this world and has already gained a lot of information. Is the regent really not scared that he will return with even more invaders?”

The mutual destruction that she'd been hoping for between Zu An and the Monster Lord hadn’t happened. If the TScribe left, wouldn't she have no choice but to wait for Zu An to slaughter her? She naturally had to stir up conflict between the two of them. Only then would she be able to reap the benefits at the end.

Zu An began to think to himself. Salamay’s instigation wasn’t all that substantial, but it was still a good point. He'd finally managed to settle the crisis of the Monster World’s invasion. If this TScribe ran back to bring more trouble, even though he could seal off this Wonderpoint World, who knew what kinds of weird abilities the TScribe’s world could use to infiltrate the Cultivation World again? He had to seize the chance to force the Scribe to stay here forever...

As if sensing his killing intent, the TScribe quickly explained, “Your respected self, please do not misunderstand. Our world is very different from the savage and conquering Monster World. We are only interested in one thing, which is the history of the various realms, as well as the major events that are currently happening. Every single TScribe is in charge of recording these things. We will not invade your world.”

“Is that so...” Zu An naturally didn’t believe him. “Then just stay here as a guest for stime. I will treat you well, and you can tellabout your world too.”

After all, one needed to know oneself and know one's enemy to win battles. That way, he would be prepared against the TScribe’s world.

When she heard that Zu An was going to make the TScribe stay, Salamay couldn't help but feel proud of herself.

Hmph, you might be strong, but weren’t you all still played by this girl?

The TScribe bowed to Zu An. “Thank you for your good intentions, regent. I will indeed stay in this world for stand record the major events of this world. However, what I am more interested in is actually the buried history. How about going on a trip there with me?”

Zu An harrumphed. “I have no interest in that at all.”

He had always been extremely tense all this tand he hadn’t gotten much sleep. He'd finally gotten rid of one disaster, so wasn’t it just fine to have a nice family dinner and a warm bed?

The TScribe seemed to have already predicted that he would say that. He calmly replied, “Then I wonder if the respected regent still wishes to see the woman who disappeared?”

“Little sister Ling’er!” Zu An’s expression changed. Even Pei Mianman and the others couldn't help but be stirred.

Does this guy know where Xie Daoyun is?

The TScribe smiled when he saw their reaction. “I was silently watching everything that was taking place in the Monster World’s underground city, so of course I know about Miss Xie’s disappearance. She seems to have touched a similar piece of Nature Jade back then and disappeared as a result, right?”

Zu An was feeling an ocean of emotions deep down, but on the surface, he remained unaffected. “Even though they are both pieces of Nature Jade, this one might not lead to the sportion of spacetime.”

The TScribe had merely called it Nature Jade. He didn’t seem to know that it was a fragment of a larger Nature Jade Plate.

“But the piece of Nature Jade in the Monster World’s treasury was passed down through successive generations of the Monster World. The case it was in was also passed down through successive generations.” The TScribe raised the Nature Jade case in his hands. “Did you not notice that a piece was missing from its surface?”

Zu An was surprised. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now that he was reminded of that, he saw that there was supposed to be an ornamental piece on the side of the plate. The Nature Jade Plate piece from the treasury appeared in his mind. It seemed to perfectly match the missing portion.

The TScribe continued, “The Nature Jade was always safeguarded by the Lord of Slaughter, but sthings happened in the past, the details of which I do not know clearly. I only know that later, the Monster Lord seized a piece of it, which was the piece that Miss Xie touched.

“The two are from the ssource, so the chance of them leading to the spoint in spacetis quite high. From the looks of things, I have seen that the regent is a gentleman who deeply values his relationships. I do not believe that you are someone who would abandon your lover without a care in the world.”

Pei Mianman and the other women exchanged a look.

Oh no! With Ah Zu’s nature, he would definitely try even if there was a small chance, let alone something like this where the probability is so great!

Even though they were worried that Zu An would be in danger, this involved Xie Daoyun, so they couldn't really stop him either.

Sure enough, Zu An said gravely, “You’ve successfully persuaded me. I'll take a look in that buried tfragment. Only...”

His eyes seemed to contain electricity as he stared at the TScribe. “Why should I go with you?”

The TScribe was too mysterious. He would bring too many variables to this trip. But Zu An wouldn’t feel at ease leaving him behind here either. There was probably no one else in this world who could keep him in check.

The TScribe said with a smile, “I can roughly understand your respected self’s misgivings, but your respected self needs not worry. The TScribes’ greatest responsibility is to record the various major events that happen across the realms. We never participate in the history ourselves, and remain as detached bystanders while doing our work. I will not be of any threat to your respected self.”

“You won’t participate in history?” Zu An sneered. “And yet as of late, we seem to have seen traces of you everywhere, and you even tried to frme! Is this not considered participating?”
