Legendary Armament Canon

988 The Death of Zhou Shu (1)

Ling’er stood on a thick tree branch and looked at Zhou Shu with her big watery eyes with an aggrieved expression.

Zhou Shu was furious. You’re aggrieved? It’s useless to pretend to be pitiful. I have to teach you a lesson this time!

“Ling’er, come down. Why are you standing so high?”

“Master,” Ling’er cried out pitifully.

“Don’t pretend to be innocent. Tell me, what are you up to?” Zhou Shu said. “Didn’t you learn your lesson last time? How long have you been back? You’re acting up again! If you don’t give me a good reason this time, I will definitely punish you severely!”

As he spoke, his tone softened.

He only had one daughter, and he really couldn’t bear to teach her a lesson.

“Master, I just want to learn how to forge. I just want to dig some ores. Is that okay?” Ling’er asked with grievance.

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Zhou Shu said angrily. “If you want to learn how to forge, you can tell me. I’ll get you whatever forging materials you want. Do you need to come out and mine?

“Even if you came out to mine, why can’t you tell me clearly? Why are you hiding it from me?”

“I was afraid that you wouldn’t agree, Master. With Master Cang Hao protecting me, I’ll be fine. Master Cang Hao is your incarnation, so he’s more than capable of protecting me. I just don’t want to cause you trouble.”

“Isn’t it troublesome enough now? Do you think I’ll believe you just because you say so?” Zhou Shu said angrily. “You know that Cang Hao is my incarnation, so how can I not know him? If it was so simple, the two of you wouldn’t be so sneaky. Ling’er, I’ll give you one last chance. Be good and tell me clearly what you’re doing!

His expression became incomparably serious, making Ling’er’s heart tremble.

“Master!”

“If you still treat me as your master, don’t hide it from me. Ling’er, I know you might have your reasons, but you have to understand that I’m not an outsider. There’s no need for you to hide it from me. I’m not an unreasonable person. If you have a reason to do something, I won’t stop you.”

Zhou Shu said solemnly, “I don’t want you to treat me as an outsider.”

“I’m not!” Ling’er shouted, about to cry. “Master, don’t force me. I can tell you anything, but not this.”

She begged, “Master, I really just want to forge a divine weapon. Can you stop asking?”

Zhou Shu looked at Ling’er and frowned. Was there a need to hide forging a divine weapon from him?

“You met me because Cang Hao has already taken the opportunity to gather the forging materials, right?” Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling’er. “Very good. It seems that I’ve become a clown and a villain.”

“No, that’s not it.” Ling’er couldn’t help crying. “Master, you’re a good person. You’re the most important person in my heart. Please forgive me. You’ll know about this. I promise I’ll tell you, but not now.”

“Forget it.” Zhou Shu closed his eyes and sighed. “You’ve grown up. It’s normal for you to have some secrets. I shouldn’t force you.

Zhou Shu shook his head dejectedly, turned around, and stepped into the air.

“Master!” Ling’er shouted at the top of her lungs with tears streaming down her face.

Without even turning around, he waved his hand with his back facing her, leaving a shadow before disappearing.

A moment later, a gust of wind blew past, and Cang Hao’s figure appeared beside Ling’er.

Tears had yet to dry on Ling’er’s face as she choked and said, “Master Cang Hao, are we doing wrong by hiding it from Master?”

“No,” Cang Hao said in a deep voice. “You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m him. I know exactly what he’ll do.

“If you tell him about this, you won’t be able to do it.

“Don’t worry. I know him. He won’t blame you.”

“Really?” Ling’er murmured.

“Of course,” Cang Hao said. “We’ve found everything. Let’s begin. He doesn’t belong to this era. There are many people waiting for him in his era.”

Ling’er nodded vigorously. “That’s right. We can’t let Master stay here. If we do, he’ll only die.”

She clenched her fists tightly, her face full of fighting spirit.

…

Zhou Shu left Ling’er and flew in the air, looking a little lonely.

Ling’er had grown up, and she was old enough to have her own ideas and was unwilling to share them with him.

He could understand, but it was still a little uncomfortable to accept.

Let them be. Zhou Shu shook his head with a bitter smile. They think I don’t know what they’re doing. If I really want to know, do they think they can hide it from me?

Zhou Shu knew the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique. If he wanted to investigate, there were plenty of ways to find out.

Actually, he had a faint idea now. Ling’er becoming so strange was most likely related to the Heavenly Dao True Bead she had absorbed when she left the Origin World.

According to Shi Changsheng, a Heavenly Dao True Bead contained all the profundities of a cultivation technique. In other words, after absorbing a Heavenly Dao True Bead, one would cultivate a cultivation technique to greater mastery.

This cultivation technique might not only be a Martial Dao cultivation technique. It might also be some kind of forging mystic technique.
