Chapter 2382: News of Xie Daoyun
The Time Scribe couldn't help but take a step back when he heard that. He had just seen how Zu An killed the Monster Lord, a substantially higher-level opponent. He was still a bit apprehensive. After all, in this place, Zu An represented the will of the world.
But he quickly realized something and waved the Nature Jade Plate in front of him. “I am not as useless as the Monster Lord, you know? Moreover, are you really not scared of this thing breaking if we fight?”
Zu An gave him a look. “This Nature Jade Plate is made of a very precious material. I fear you don’t have the ability to do something like destroying it.”
The Time Scribe nodded. “That’s right. Destroying this object is indeed hard, but destroying the spacetime coordinates recorded on it is quite easy. Perhaps you would never be able to find that segment of buried history again.”
“No!” Salamay immediately became really worried. This was something her father had left behind. If they could return to that time, perhaps she'd still be able to reunite with her father, but if those coordinates were destroyed, everything would be over.
The Time Scribe didn’t look at her, and stared at the man in front of him instead. That was the only person who was worth meeting on equal footing here.
“Didn’t you say just now that the most enticing and precious things are secrets? And yet you claim you're going to destroy it yourself? How can you even face your own occupation if you do that?” Zu An frowned slightly. This person was too mysterious, and he didn’t have too much confidence in winning. If the Time Scribe insisted on destroying the spacetime coordinates recorded on it, there really wouldn’t be anything he could do.
“Only by staying alive can one be able to learn more secrets. To give up endless potential secrets for the sake of a single one is not something I desire,” the Time Scribe slowly said.
“You're quite good at sophistry.” Zu An sneered. “In that case, then, how about you leave that behind and I let you go?”
