Chapter 516: Job
Sage resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Such childish antics were a far cry from the harsh woman hed seen terrifying those Xiyi faction members into silence. She must have had a harsh life.
To Xiezis displeasure, Sage merely crossed his legs and sat down atop the scorpions back. The lack of jealousy or asking for more furniture from her made her somewhat annoyed, but then she realized what she was thinking. She put aside her childish impulses and brought out more chairs for the other two. Sage didnt really care about such a small matter, but Tujiu glared at her. Oh no.
Just as hed imagined, her teasing of Sage had been like punching a cloud, but Tujius hot blooded nature shone through. The two of them bickered back and forth for the next few days, gradually getting more and more ridiculous in the pranks they played on each other. Especially since they were all confined to an area with no walls and only the scenery around them changing. Thankfully, Uncle Zhuo, the giant scorpion, would break up their battling from time to time when he decided to act as a tour guide. Whenever there was something interesting in the scenery, he seemed to know a story about it. He told them how a crevice on the side of a mountain was formed by the battle between two experts. A single sword slash had cleaved a canyon. Then theyd walk along the edge of a cliff and hed tell of how a young child was once chased to that cliff and leaped into the river below. Somehow hed survived and decades later he returned for vengeance.
The stories were all so fantastical they sounded like they came from a storyteller, bard, or some other form of fiction, but Uncle Zhuo insisted they were all true. Sages curiosity got the better of him, Who told you all these stories?
At the moment, Xiezi and Tujiu were balancing on top of the giant scorpions tail and trying to push each other off. Xiezi was distracted so she didnt have time to interrupt. Uncle Zhuo seemed to think nothing of it, answering immediately, Oh, because my brother told me!
Xiezi caught on and jumped down, Wait, Uncle Zhuo, stop!
The scorpion didnt seem to hear her, already starting to talk, My brother was a great man. He raised me from when I was as big as your fingernail, so he was also a father to me. We saw so many places and did so many things. He told me so many wonderful stories.
He trailed off and she nodded, Indeed. The Zhu Clan.
What? Why?
He was a little taken back and almost asked a question that would give away his personal relationship, but Xiezi only smiled. She laughed, Do you think your dealings with the Zhu Clan are a secret? I dont know the story exactly, but years ago there were people from the Chong Clan that went to the Dou Capital, and also were sent to investigate at the Zhu Clan. A few months later, there was a gag order issued and a few of the Clan members involved disappeared. Unsurprisingly, Chong Wuyang is involved.
Then she realized something and quickly added, Chong Wuyang is the grandfather of that kid who brought a group to annoy you. Hes also the one responsible for that kill squad. He is just one step below the three Elders of the Wu Faction. He lost the third seat in a duel to Wugou a few decades ago and has always been eager to prove his worth since then. The both of them are still stuck at the peak of Core Formation. Since neither can break through to Nascent Soul, he wants to compete with achievements instead.
Sage nodded, finally having a name for the man whod caused him such trouble. It seems hed found his true enemy among the Chong. One of them at least. Then he waved towards the town, What does that have to do with the Zhu Clan?
She laughed, Oh, right! Nobody really remembers that incident because it was so carefully silenced, but when you reappeared the Clan put its effort into digging up information on you. The Jinxi are quite adept at that sort of thing. Anyway, the higher ups uncovered your betrothal to the Zhu and it was said the Patriarch was not pleased. My Great Elder doesnt know why the Patriarch was so upset, but since it makes him upset, then the Great Elder is more eager to pursue it. Were here to pursue an alliance with the Zhu Clan, and since you have a few connections with them, Great Elder told me to bring you along. Shes busy trying to obstruct the Jinxi as they work to pull the Jie Branch over to his side.
Sage thought back to that petite and gentle looking woman who also had a violently explosive and belligerent side to her. Why was it that he kept getting involved with such fierce women? Was it because he couldnt avoid them, or was it something else?
