Chapter 2577: Ice Flame Continent 34

Editor: Henyee Translations

Little Junior Sister held the black iron sword in her hands.

It proved remarkably convenient, far superior to her original weapon, and it wasn’t burdensome in weight. Senior Brother Kang Shi had crafted it with exquisite detail, even embedding a beautifully polished crystal into the hilt.

Little Junior Sister couldn’t help but feel content.

“Let’s use this for now. I’ll forge a new sword for you when we have better materials,” Gu Chaoyan suggested.

Gao Zhuo grinned foolishly.

During her time with Kang Shi, Little Junior Sister hadn’t experienced as many benefits as she had in this period. The thought alone brought immense joy, affirming the wisdom of choosing the right person to follow.

“Really?” Gao Zhuo asked, still smiling foolishly.

“I wonder who criticized Senior Brother Kang Shi’s sword just now,” Little Junior Sister teased.

“Hehehe,” Gao Zhuo chuckled foolishly, refusing to admit it.

With nothing else to do, Little Junior Sister continued to nag about the previous matter Gao Zhuo had criticized.

Gu Chaoyan knew Gao Zhuo had it coming.

Despite Gao Zhuo’s occasional display of strength, he was unwaveringly loyal to Kang Shi. He had even directly sought revenge for Kang Shi regarding Ziluo. Considering Ziluo’s status, Gao Zhuo’s loyalty was evident—he was tying himself to Kang Shi without reservation.

Just to avenge for Kang Shi.

A weapon, as it should be.

If there was a better one in the future, he would still give it to him.

The two of them played around and returned.

On the other hand, Gu Chaoyan was assisting Kang Shi in cultivation.

Kang Shi remained calm.

Meanwhile, Kang Yan was in a state of agitation.

Originally, the First Elder’s intention was straightforward. He wanted Kang Yan to instruct Ziluo to return and communicate the next plan to her father, the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race.

In the past, Kang Yan needed someone to covertly contact the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race. Now, with Ziluo, they could openly discuss these matters.

Ziluo had initially agreed. However, on her way to the True Martial Race, she encountered Gao Zhuo again. Since Gao Zhuo was doing well in the Medicine Sect, she returned to question him.

Kang Yan didn’t anticipate that someone like Ziluo would genuinely care about the fate of a minor figure from the Medicine Sect.

It became a headache.

While it was a positive development, it complicated matters.

Kang Yan sighed helplessly, “I initially wanted to teach Gao Zhuo a lesson, but his position in the Medicine Sect is not ordinary. He can’t be easily dealt with now.”

“…”

“Gao Zhuo is responsible for planting spirit herbs in the Medicine Sect, crucial for the Anicca Race’s pill refining.”

“…”

“Only Gao Zhuo excels at cultivating these spirit herbs, and no one else can match his expertise.”

“…”

“In these circumstances, directly punishing Gao Zhuo would disrupt the smooth operation of the Medicine Sect. Countless medicinal pills would be cut off each month, causing significant losses to the Anicca Race. Don’t be impatient. Let’s wait a bit longer. Once someone else takes over the spirit herb cultivation, Gao Zhuo’s time will come.”

“…”

“Go to the True Martial Race first. Once we have complete control over the Anicca Race, you’ll have the freedom to do as you please within the Anicca Race,” Kang Yan reasoned, believing his humility was sufficient.

However, Ziluo continued to frown, visibly dissatisfied.

Setting aside other matters for now.

Ever since they arrived at the Anicca Race,
