Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

“Isn’t it because we risked our lives, participated in Liangzhu Country’s great war.”

“In that case now, this time’s Ghost Tide crisis in White Paper Immortal City could also be our next major opportunity!”

Ning Zhuo remained silent.

Sun Lingtong continued to persuade, “Little Zhuo, now we are in an advantageous position. You’re now under the guise of a male concubine, able to access the city’s highest echelons!”

“If an opportunity arises, this identity will bring even greater opportunities.”

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly, “Makes sense.”

“But why do I feel like, Boss you just want to watch the fun?”

Sun Lingtong chuckled, “Just tell me, is what I said right? Are you tempted?”

Ning Zhuo remained silent again.

He was indeed tempted.

If he were in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, or during his time at Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, he would definitely hold a negative opinion, the sooner and farther he could leave White Paper Immortal City, the better.

But now…

Indeed, he has benefited greatly from taking risks, and the level of benefit is substantial.

The experiences on the battlefield have also triggered a deeper understanding of life and existence in him.

“Then let’s use this identity first, approach the higher-ups of the Immortal City, and see if there’s an opportunity,” Ning Zhuo said.

Sun Lingtong was almost overjoyed enough to pat Ning Zhuo on the shoulder, “Little Zhuo, you are becoming more and more suited to my tastes. If I knew it would be like this, I would have let you explore earlier years ago.”

Ning Zhuo supplemented, “But I see it’s a bit risky. If I were the City Lord, I’d definitely scrutinize any male concubine approaching me thoroughly.”

“We might not pass the first level of scrutiny.”

Sun Lingtong said, “Though my Stealing Technique has greatly increased, I definitely can’t guarantee facing the city’s examination.”

“Let’s take it step by step, even if we’re discovered, we can always explain our identity, Sang Le Youling’s status here isn’t low after all.”

“Even if they’re going to punish us, we can still use the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon to escape.”

The two discussed and reached an agreement, then continued on their way with the others.

Soon after, they arrived at a villa.

The door plaque bore three large characters: Cangyang Villa.

The gray paper lion at the entrance, upon seeing the group, took the initiative to speak: “Are these the new male concubines?”

The guide confirmed.

“Enter then.” The gray paper lion opened the door.

The group filed in one after another.

Just after stepping inside the villa, a paperman maid greeted them: “Please follow me, everyone.”

The group bypassed the screen wall, walked through the main hall, passed through three layers of green-tile corridors, and passed through five layers of Yin Qi barriers to arrive at a small garden.

“Please wait here for a moment, the manager will come shortly.”

After half a cup of tea’s time, a Human Clan Cultivator, appearing middle-aged and dressed in a silver robe, slowly made his way over to them.

He scanned the group, slightly tilting his head back with an arrogant demeanor and said, “Listen up, newcomers, first let me address the three matters of the day—dining, recognizing your place, and room assignments.”

“From today on, you will reside here for a period. I expect you to perform well in the future!”

After speaking, the manager walked away with his hands clasped behind his back.

“Strange, there’s no inspection?” Sun Ning and the others exchanged glances, finding it odd.

When noon came, a paperman maid arrived to lead the group first to the dining hall.

Upon entering the dining hall, Sun Ning and the others found it crowded with at least a hundred people.

“Are all these people…” someone questioned.

The paperman maid nodded: “That’s right, they are all this season’s male concubines.”

The group fell silent, exchanging looks.

The seating was not fixed, and everyone sat freely.

Just as Sun Lingtong was about to sit beside Ning Zhuo, a paperman guard shouted: “How dare you! A mere servant of the Ghost Clan dares to sit with a male concubine?”

Ning Zhuo, unwilling to be separated from Sun Lingtong, briefly explained: He is my savior.

However, the paperman servant seized the opportunity to reprimand Ning Zhuo further, showing no respect for his status as a male concubine.

Ning Zhuo was slightly taken aback, but looking at the male concubines filling the hall, he quickly understood their true status in the hierarchy.
