“Hey! Are you, Lord Bu, saying I can’t produce an heir or what? What’s this about the Shang family having no descendants, huh?” Shang Liqian pretended to be angry.
“Ha! Don’t act like you’re a filial son. Everyone knows you’re more scared of that yoke than your brother. It’s easy for you to have a child, the issue is, you don’t want to.” Bu Yuchen smirked.
Shang Liqian burst into laughter, “Yeah, I don’t want to!”
“Then why are you still here stirring the pot?” Bu Yuchen gave him a sidelong glance.
“Alright, you two, stop chatting. The main character hasn’t said a word, and you’ve been talking a lot,” Wu Yangfeng threw two peanuts into their mouths, one each, just to shut them up.
After quickly chewing and swallowing the peanut, Shang Liqian said, “Of course, he has nothing to say because my mother promised him that after he brings the motionless bride home tomorrow, he can go out and enjoy himself. Otherwise, why do you think he called us out today?”
Bu Yuchen and Wu Yangfeng both looked at Shang Bieye.
“Liqian isn’t wrong, but that’s just an aside. What I want to tell you is something else,” Shang Bieye said with a serious expression.
Seeing his grave look, the other two also stopped their playful demeanor, knowing the matter was serious.
“Have you heard of the Black Sect recently?”
“The Black Sect…” Wu Yangfeng furrowed his brows, thinking, “Is it the one that claimed to have salvaged an ancient mirror with martial arts secrets from Qingtan Lake?”
“Yes!”
Shang Bieye continued, “Master said that actually, that mirror does not belong to the mortal world, nor does it contain any martial arts secrets, but it truly is a treasure capable of changing the fate of the world.”
“Changing the fate of the world?” Bu Yuchen was puzzled.
“Because there are twelve sides on it, each inscribed with an hour. If you accidentally trigger the mechanism, it could cause temporal and spatial chaos, altering the landscape,” Shang Bieye explained.
“So, since we haven’t seen any anomalies, does that mean the Black Fortress Gate doesn’t know about it yet?” Bu Yuchen asked.
