84: Chapter 84 Confession

“This?” Zhang Bufan stared at the mountain peak in the distance, half of which had disappeared, dumbfounded.

“Senior Brother, you…” Fire Qingrou was also too shocked to speak coherently.

“Haha, I didn’t expect it to be a treasure after all.” Zhang Bufan burst into laughter; this unassuming spear actually had such terrifying attack power.

He had only infused a little Spiritual Qi into it just now, and it had caused such powerful destruction.

“Senior Brother, where did you get this spear?” Fire Qingrou asked curiously. Just now, Senior Brother had wanted to throw this spear away, but he didn’t expect it to be a great killing weapon.

“Hehe, I picked it up.” Zhang Bufan’s lips were almost stretched to his ears. The System was his biggest secret, and he didn’t plan to reveal it even to Fire Qingrou.

“I don’t believe you.” Fire Qingrou rolled her eyes at Zhang Bufan but didn’t ask any further.

Zhang Bufan chuckled, then immediately tried to put the Lietian Spear into his Storage Ring. However, a strange scene occurred: as soon as the Lietian Spear went in, the Storage Ring directly shattered, as if it simply couldn't bear the Lietian Spear.

“System, what’s going on?” Zhang Bufan was full of confusion.

“Didn’t I tell you already? This Lietian is an ultimate weapon, and it’s not on the same level as your Storage Ring at all.” The System was very displeased. It paused, then incited, “Didn’t you want to throw it away? Just throw it away then.”

Zhang Bufan’s old face flushed with embarrassment. Now that he knew how powerful the Lietian Spear was, how could he bear to throw it away? He squeezed out a smile and said, “Well, hehe, I was just putting on a show. How could I possibly throw it away?”

“Hmph!” The System snorted coldly.

“Alright, I’ve known for a long time that the items rewarded by the System aren’t simple. Now tell me, how can I put this Lietian Spear away? Also, what exactly is an ultimate weapon, and how does it compare to Emperor Grade?” Zhang Bufan asked with a look of course, then began to inquire.

“What an ultimate weapon is, I’m not sure. You know, my authority isn’t enough.” The System didn’t expose Zhang Bufan’s thick skin. It paused, then continued, “As for this Lietian Spear, besides putting it into the System, you can only carry it on your back.”

“Put it into the System?” Zhang Bufan’s mind moved, and the Lietian Spear in his hand disappeared, returning to the System.

After thinking for a moment, he summoned the Lietian Spear again. The System was in his mind, and putting this rusty thing in there always felt uncomfortable.

“Why did you take it out again?” The System was very confused.

“Nothing, I just feel this thing is a bit dirty, and it’s not good to put it in the System.” Zhang Bufan explained.

“Isn’t that illogical? This thing has always been in the System before, alright?” The System was speechless.

“How can that be the same? I didn’t know before, but now I do.” After a pause, Zhang Bufan thought of a more convincing explanation, “It’s like when you go to eat, you don’t know that the food is very dirty, and you eat it. But if you see the chef didn’t even wash the vegetables and didn’t clean the pig hair, can you still eat it?”

System: “…”

Zhang Bufan found a rope and tied the Lietian Spear, carrying it on his back.

Fire Qingrou took out several Spiritual Artifacts and handed them to Hundred Li Jingang, then came to Zhang Bufan and said, “Senior Brother, it’s time to tell me about our Sect, isn’t it?”

“What about our Sect?” Zhang Bufan’s eyes flickered slightly.

Fire Qingrou just watched him quietly, without speaking.

Zhang Bufan felt uncomfortable being stared at by Fire Qingrou. After a long while, he sighed softly and slowly said, “Actually, my Sect is the Tianhua Sect next to the Wanfeng Mountain Range, and it has fallen into decline now.”

Immediately, Zhang Bufan meticulously told Fire Qingrou some matters about the Tianhua Sect.

Fire Qingrou lowered her head, listening quietly, without asking any questions.

Seeing Fire Qingrou’s silent demeanor, Zhang Bufan didn’t know what she was thinking, and his heart immediately tensed up. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke, “Junior Sister Fire, Senior Brother was wrong before, for deceiving you. Now, if you want to withdraw from the Tianhua Sect, I will not stop you.”

Fire Qingrou suddenly raised her head and said very seriously, “Senior Brother, I don’t regret joining the Tianhua Sect. Even if you had told me these things truthfully, I would still have joined the Tianhua Sect. If you hadn’t appeared, my grandfather and I might not even be here anymore.”

“Mm.” Zhang Bufan nodded with relief, letting out a long sigh in his heart.

It was not easy to find such a good Disciple for the Old Man. He was really worried that Fire Qingrou would not be able to accept it and would suddenly withdraw from the Tianhua Sect.

“Senior Brother, can Master really come back to life?” Fire Qingrou asked. Although she had never met this so-called Master, from Zhang Bufan’s few words, she also imagined him to be a very kind Old Man, just like her own grandfather.

However, Fire Qingrou had never heard of the concept of Soul resurrection. She only knew that if a person died, they were truly dead.

“He will.” Zhang Bufan nodded seriously. “As long as I gather those Spirit Medicines, I can revive Master.”

Fire Qingrou’s face showed excitement as she looked up and asked, “Senior Brother, what Spirit Medicines are needed? I want to help find them too.”

Zhang Bufan reached out and stroked Fire Qingrou’s head, smiling, “Leave the matter of finding Spirit Medicines to me. What you need to do now is Cultivate well and become strong early. You still have your own things to do.”

“I understand.” Fire Qingrou nodded obediently, then suddenly remembered something. She stretched out her small hand in front of Zhang Bufan, with a half-smile on her face, “Senior Brother, it’s about time you showed me our Sect Rules, isn’t it?”

“This…” Zhang Bufan’s old face flushed with embarrassment. The more enjoyable it was to brag back then, the more awkward he felt now.

Fire Qingrou suppressed her smile and just watched Zhang Bufan like that.

“Hehe, here you go.” Zhang Bufan awkwardly scratched his head, then with a wave of his hand, he placed the thick ledger into Fire Qingrou’s hand.

Fire Qingrou only flipped through a few pages before her brows furrowed tightly. “Senior Brother, what are these?”

“They are all the forces that have plundered our Tianhua Sect in the past.” Zhang Bufan answered in a deep voice.

“So many?” Fire Qingrou, imitating Zhang Bufan, started flipping from the back, and her small face became increasingly grim.

She had only flipped through less than a third and had already seen twenty to thirty Sect forces, most of whom she didn't recognize. There were many in the Eastern Region alone, and they were all very famous major powers, with the Tianjian Sect, one of the seven great powers, prominently listed.

This thick book probably contained no less than a hundred forces that had plundered the Tianhua Sect, and the ones listed earlier were more powerful.

“Senior Brother, I am also a Disciple of the Tianhua Sect, and I want revenge too.” Fire Qingrou said with a firm expression and a very serious tone.

“Hehe, with Senior Brother here, these matters are not for you to handle.” Zhang Bufan smiled and stroked Fire Qingrou’s head, “You just need to follow me and Cultivate well.”

“But…”
