Keyboard Immortal Chapter 2333: Visitor

Chapter 2333: Visitor

“So they need to make changes based on what is happening in reality…” Zu An recalled his own encounter.

If it’s like this, it’s not completely unstoppable.

As if sensing the changes in his thinking, Mi Li explained, “Don’t be careless. The Time Scribes aren’t able to create something out of thin air, but their skills are still nearly impossible to guard against. Who knows how many powerful being have been ruined at their hands?”

“But of course. I'll be careful,” Zu An replied. If it wasn’t because of the Lord of Slaughter’s tooth, he would probably have been screwed over too. He said, “Big sis empress, you mentioned that not a lot of people know about the Time Scribes. Do you think the Monster Lord knows about them?”

Mi Li frowned slightly. “In theory, the chances of him knowing wouldn't be high, but his reaction seems to prove that he doesknow about them. That makes things a bit strange.”

Zu An was startled. Judging from her tone, she seemed to look down on the Monster Lord quite a bit. It was as if it was only natural that she knew things the Monster Lord didn’t. That alone already explained a lot of things. But he didn’t continue to ask any questions. He already knew from their conversations that she withheld information about many things for his sake. There was no point in adding annoyances right now.

Mi Li returned to sleep after answering his questions. Zu An knew she needed sleep to recover right now, and that it also seemed to be able to unlock her memories. Even though he didn’t know how that worked, it was a good thing, so he naturally couldn't disturb her too much.

Shortly after, Zu An and the palace emissaries returned to the True Demon territory. The palace emissaries and the guards there exchanged some words, and most of the guards were brought away. The emissaries then excused themselves.

The great elder was shocked and happy to hear that the True Demon race had been spared. “Donaire, just how did you do it?”

Zu An smiled. “The lord is a reasonable person. When I explained the matter to him in detail, he wisely deduced that I was wrongly blamed.”

The great elder smacked his thigh and said regretfully, “I really let you down before. I even misunderstood and thought you killed Manager Pi. Many people from the True Demon race also spoke unfavorable things about you.”

"Great elder, you don’t need to mind it too much,” Zu An consoled. “This isn’t your fault. It is just that the enemy in hiding is too cunning.”

That mysterious masked figure appeared in his mind.

Why does this world that is about to be destroyed have a Time Scribe? Just where is he hiding, and why did he suddenly appear?

The great elder’s expression eased up a bit. He couldn't help but say, “Even though this matter is a misunderstanding, the lord didn’t immediately kill you out of anger and even patiently listened to your explanation. He really thinks of you highly! He never held you in such high esteem in the past.”

“I don’t know why this is either. Perhaps the lord needs to keep me at his side to help him with certain affairs,” Zu An replied.

It's most likely my relations.h.i.+p with Salamay that made the lord decide I was still of use.

“Needs you for certain affairs…” The great elder had a strange expression.

Even though the young master isn’t totally spoiled and frivolous, he isn’t that much better. What could the Monster Lord even see in him…

Wait!

The great elder suddenly gave Zu An a look. This young man was handsome and confident looking. He was famous for his looks among the True Demon race. Furthermore, this trip to the Cultivation World seemed to have made him more mature. The slight feminine side to him was now gone, now replaced with a heroic charm.

Manager Pi is already dead, so the lord is definitely looking for a replacement. Meanwhile, the young master is so handsome…

A hint of sympathy appeared in his eyes when he realized that. He bowed to Zu An. “The young master has really sacrificed too much for the True Demon race.”

“Sacrifice? What did I sacrifice?” Zu An was confused.

“I understand.” The great elder gave his bottom a look and thought ‘as expected’. “I will never mention this matter again in the future, nor will I permit the clansmen to speak randomly. Everyone will engrave the young master’s sacrifice deeply in our hearts.”

He bowed seriously after saying that, then left.

Zu An looked at the elder in confusion.

Is there something I don’t know? Why did that guy speak so weirdly?

A while later, he finally realized what it was.

“Motherf*cker!”

His face became completely red. This really was nonsense. That respected great elder had nothing but filth in that head of his!

“Ah Zu!” The women came out to meet him when they received the news. Their eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears when they saw him. They had been worried that they would be separated forever. They hadn’t expected him to return safely so soon.

Pei Mianman wanted to rush into his arms excitedly, but she saw that Yun Yuqing was about to do the same. Yun Yuqing also noticed her movements and felt awkward. Pei Mianman realized the situation wasn’t too good, so she also froze in place.

Out of the remaining people, Suolun s.h.i.+ and Zu An weren’t at that level yet. Even though she admired him a lot, she didn’t dare to show any extreme emotion in front of the others. Xie Daoyun was the same; she was gentle and quiet in nature. Even though this scene was really moving, she knew that big sister Pei and the others were still nearby. As for Jiang Luofu, there was even less of a chance of her doing anything.

Only Ji Xiaoxi was the most pure. She didn’t care about all of that. She had cried a lot, and now that she suddenly heard that Zu An was back, she was so excited that she jumped straight into his arms. She hugged him tightly while sobbing, “Big brother Zu…”

When he felt her trembling body, Zu An realized just how scared she had been. He felt tenderness fill him. He gently patted her shoulder. “I’m fine. Don’t cry, Xiaoxi.”

The women had been feeling a bit of regret, but that was now replaced with relief. Xiaoxi was too adorable, and she has a good personality too, so everyone else treated her like a little sister. She and Zu An just acted like siblings, so they didn’t think of anything else.

All those emotional reactions actually happened in an instant. They were all filled with happiness because Zu An had returned. They excitedly asked about what happened.

“Let’s talk inside…” This was an extremely important subject, so Zu An brought them into the cave dwelling first. He set up several sound-proofing barriers before explaining everything. There were many things he had to hide from the great elder, but he didn’t need to hide it from them.

“We actually misunderstood and a.s.sumed that you truly killed Manager Pi, but we really shouldn’t have…” Pei Mianman bit her lip tightly. Her breathing was hurried and her chest heaved up and down. She felt a lot of remorse, not knowing why she hadn't believed her lover.

“There’s no need for you to blame yourself. This doesn’t have anything to do with you. Rather, a Time Scribe was causing trouble…” Zu An explained.

“Time Scribe?” The women were all really shocked. They hadn’t expected there to be such an incredible ability.

“Then in the future, even our memories won't be reliable.” Jiang Luofu had a worried expression and a bit of fear in her eyes. This was just too frightening. She couldn’t even know if what was in her own head was real or fake.

“Even though the Time Scribe’s skills are very mysterious, it’s not as if there are no weaknesses to it.” Zu An then explained the flaws of the ability to them.

They felt a bit more at ease after they listened to the explanation.

“Big brother Zu, you even know about this kind of profession and ability that we don’t know about. What don't you know in this world?” Suolun s.h.i.+ couldn't help but say with a sigh. Her eyes were filled with adoration.

The others all nodded. Even Jiang Luofu was feeling a lot of admiration. In the past, Zu An had just been a boy she had to take care of in Brightmoon City. She hadn’t expected him to become so large and dependable.

“There are a lot of things that I don’t know…” Zu An sighed. He thought about how Mi Li was often about to say something but hesitated in the end, as well as what the Necropolis Emperor had said back then. There were just too many mysteries.

Everyone else was curious and wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly, a voice came from outside. “At first, I was worried about the young master’s safety, but the young master is already surrounded by beauties and is actually doing quite well.”
