Maomao asked Zhang Ze to go to the cafeteria with it. It wasn’t for eating, but to have a meeting. The original council chamber had been turned into the cafeteria of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion for practically useless reasons, but even after the change, it was rarely frequented. The first reason being that not everyone actually needed to eat. The second reason was that the food in the cafeteria wasn’t as tasty as the food outside in Thousand Mechanism Town. So, the empty cafeteria once again became a place for meetings. The first topic of this meeting: interrogating the Little Earth Immortal. This little creature was indeed troublesome and rather forgetful of past punishments, requiring a strong hand to educate it properly. This little creature seemed to have realized its own resilience, becoming somewhat unruly again, sitting on the table tugging at its leash, silent. "How about this," Lily said as she pulled out a small box from under the table, "if beating doesn’t work, let’s skip it. We can just put him in a small box, fill it with mud, slap a Forbidden Talisman on it, and bury it under the Sword Tomb for a thousand years. Wouldn’t that solve it once and for all?" Upon hearing Lily’s words, the not-so-bright Little Earth Immortal immediately changed its expression, kneeling and banging its head in plea. Utterly devoid of any Little Earth Immortal dignity. It was truly scared of the idea of imprisonment. Lily winked at everyone, indicating she was just trying to scare it and had no real intention to do so. The Little Earth Immortal just wanted to escape and didn’t intend to harm anyone, so such a punishment would indeed be too harsh. Zhang Ze and the others still planned to focus on education and reasoning. But they also couldn’t be too lenient, because if they didn’t address it, given its forgetful nature, it might really harm someone in the future. "Let me handle it, I’m quite familiar with him," a Thousand Mechanism Bird sitting on the table spoke up. It was the Jade Book Tower. Probably fearing Loulou’s boredom, Lily created a bird for the Jade Book Tower, providing an additional interface for interaction and easing communication elsewhere. As a former half of the Star Disc, the Little Earth Immortal recognized the Jade Book Tower and knew the personality of this former resident of the Imperial Capital. That righteous character along with the Illusion Realm of the Tower might indeed reeducate the Little Earth Immortal. So, the Jade Book Tower’s proposal passed unanimously amidst strong opposition from the individual involved. The Little Earth Immortal was escorted to the tower amid the schadenfreude laughter of the half Star Disc. Afterward, Zhang Ze clapped his hands and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving." Lily knocked on the table, "What about the Stone Pill?" "We just do what we need to do," Zhang Ze said, "We have new discoveries, but it’s all just speculation. Apart from continuing our research step by step, what else can we do?" Lily thought the same. Rushing wouldn’t help in such matters, but she felt a little unwilling to adjourn the meeting just like that. She had previously vowed to ensure every penny was spent wisely, but suggesting turning the council chamber into a cafeteria was her idea. Not utilizing it more would seem like she was wasting money again. "Well, let’s think of something important for the construction site," Lily racked her brain for another topic. "The old...I mean the Sect Leader, he’s out on business. The Taoist is supervising the site with his team, and I’ll be there along with Profound Identification and Li Yu. If anything related to the Innate Tao Embryo appears, it serves as a warning too." "Besides, the work starts tomorrow." These matters were already planned out clearly. "What about Liu Haiwu and the others? Are they going to the construction site by the river?" Lily asked. "They’re not going. I’ve arranged for them to work at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, doing odd jobs, moving bricks, and building the school," Zhang Ze replied. Lily clapped the table again, having finally thought of the cafeteria’s ingenious usage. "Let’s have those guys eat at the cafeteria for free." "Up to you, you arrange it," Zhang Ze thought it wasn’t a big deal. Lily breathed a sigh of relief, feeling she had not gone against her initial vow and still spent the money wisely. She hadn’t let the community down. Fresh chapters posted on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙 Li, who had been daydreaming in a chair, suddenly jumped down and ran downstairs when hearing the word "eat." "Where are you going?" Zhang Ze asked. "I’m hungry, going to cook myself a couple of dishes." Zhang Ze, "...Alright, I’ll go check if Senior Sister Lu has arrived." At the gate of Thousand Mechanism Town. Chen Qianhu didn’t return to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion but went elsewhere on business. Because Lu Ning was impatient to get here, she borrowed a magical artifact from her master, arriving almost as quickly as Old Ascender’s Sword Book. Very urgent, indeed very urgent. But when you’re in a hurry, it’s easy to make mistakes. "Senior Sister Lu, have you been to Thousand Mechanism Town before?" Because Zhang Ze was delayed by Lily having eaten her fill, Junior Sister was the one to come greet Lu Ning. Junior Sister felt this Senior Sister Lu seemed very familiar with Thousand Mechanism Town. A woman’s intuition told her that this lady surely had issues; she was acting odd even when they were at the Celestial Sect. "I’ve only heard the junior sisters mention it, I’ve never been here," Lu Ning’s expression didn’t change as she casually picked up a Fuji trinket from a nearby stall. It seemed Fuji’s mystical jurisdiction had expanded again. Not only drawing cards and buying lottery tickets as prayers to Fuji, but people were also praying for recovery from colds and fevers or warding off evil spirits. Chen Qin responded with an "Oh," as if it was really just a casual question, without pushing further, she performed her duty as a host, giving Lu Ning a tour around Thousand Mechanism Town. Seeing Chen Qin’s demeanor, Lu Ning felt somewhat relieved. From her observations, this young girl was so pure that she seemed to be able to win over Zhang Ze just by being the first one here.
