Ho Zhengkui's wife... Zhang Yuanqing turned her gaze to the scroll, stared at the qipao woman for several seconds, then looked away and back at the tabby cat, "What is her name? And what about this manor?" The tabby cat leapt onto a round table, moving with graceful ease and elegant posture, exuding the poised strength befitting a cat at the peak of its prowess. "The mistress's name is Lu Yue-shuang. This manor is where Mr. Ho and the mistress have lived. After both returned to the spiritual realm, Burunt transformed the entire manor into a part of Pan God's maze as a tribute to their journey." "Did Burunt and Ho Zhengkui have a good relationship?" Zhang Yuanqing's mind stirred. He remembered Zhai Cai had mentioned that, in his younger days, Burunt had been the personal bodyguard of the President of the Free Federation. After the president's passing, he inherited the president's personal belongings. A significant portion of those belongings had been generously supported by Ho Zhengkui. Now it seemed that Burunt and Ho Zhengkui shared a deeper connection. "Bulent is a student of Huo Zhengkui. Both of them are Thunder Temple practitioners. At that time, Bulent was about your age, having just become a Spirit Realm traveler, serving as an assistant and bodyguard to Frank, who in turn worked for Mr. Huo." The tabby cat answered every question promptly and cooperatively: "Bulent was upright and kind, and being a fellow Thunder Temple practitioner, Mr. Huo took him under his wing and guided him for several years." So there was a deeper connection after all... Zhang Yuanqing subtly sensed the cat's emotional state, confirming that the information was truthful. He also detected in the cat's demeanor a sense of alertness, hostility, and a growing anticipation. Indeed, the cat seemed to be looking forward to their arrival. As Zhang Yuanqing was about to ask further questions, the tabby cat raised one of its front paws and firmly tapped it down. "Now it's my turn to ask you!" Those soft, pale green eyes gazed steadily at Zhang Yuanqing. "How do you know about the Sacred Disc fragments? Which organization are you affiliated with, and how did you manage to enter the Pan God's labyrinth?" Given that you're all Chinese descendants, I've shared so much with you. If any of you dare to deceive me, I'll slaughter you all and use your bodies as fertilizer for Daji and Xiaoqi." Zhang Yuancheng quickly interjected, "Madam JOJO, you're a Chinese cat, and I'm a Chinese person—we're truly from the same homeland. Please don't be so passionate! Here's what happened... If the guardian in Room 503 was arranged by Elder Brent, he would consider using force to seize the holy disc fragments. However, due to our shared connection with the single-line knight and Ho Zhengkui, I've chosen to be transparent. Moreover, the tabby cat clearly has no intention of acting—otherwise, she wouldn't have let me speak so freely. Therefore, I've recounted the story of Ho Zhengkui's descendants being murdered and the fragments being stolen, all the way to the point where the Church's single-line knight seeks to reclaim the fragments and oppose the forces of evil. "That's precisely why we've come here. Our infiltration of the Pan God's labyrinth was solely due to Elder Brent's excessive stubbornness." "Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the unconscious Zhai Cai: "He is a knight of the Church. Since you've been with Mr. Huo for so many years, you should know his connection to the lineage of Church knights." "He is the inheritor of the Church knights?" The tabby cat suddenly became animated, her paws tapping the table several times. "So, counting down to his generation, it's the fourth generation?" "No, no, no—it's the sixth generation!" Zhang Yuanqing said: "A direct line of six generations." "The lives of these knights are shorter than those of cats," the cat lamented. Yet, after hearing Zhang Yuanqing's words, the cat was in high spirits. "I've been waiting for you for many years. After Mr. Huo and the master returned to the spiritual realm, the responsibility of guarding the fragments of the Sacred Disk fell upon me. I followed the fragments to Frank's home, and after Frank's passing, I came here. Finally, I can rest now." Cats who have lived for several decades are not common... Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood why the cat was so eager. "How many years have you been guarding the fragments of the Sacred "The tabby cat tilted its head and asked, 'What year is it now?' '2022.' 'Almost sixty years.' That's like serving sixty years in prison... Zhang Yuanqing wondered, 'Since Berlent is Mr. Ho's student, why hasn't Mr. Ho handed over the fragments of the Holy Disk to him?' Previously, they hadn't known the connection between the two, so it hadn't seemed unusual. The tabby cat, with a clear, crisp voice, sighed, 'Mr. Ho has stated that the fragments of the Holy Disk must be given either to a knight of the Church or to a Chinese descendant—there's no other option.' Ah, I remember now—when Mr. Ho Zhengkui passed the fragments to his adopted son, Jia Feizhang, he had said something very similar. Zhang Yuanqing immediately pounded his chest, 'Madam JOJO, please hand over the fragments of the Holy Disk to me. We are both Chinese descendants and also part of the Church's lineage.' The teammates behind him beamed with delight. They had expected a fierce clash in Room 503, but the outcome had turned out far smoother than anticipated." The tabby cat studied him for a few moments, then leapt down from the round table and vanished at the stairwell entrance. After perhaps fifteen seconds, its form reappeared, now carrying a recurved bow in its mouth. "This is a prop left by the master—this is a knight's item!" The cat placed the recurved bow on the table and said, "It possesses master-level quality and is one of Mr. Ho's prized possessions, also serving as his means of verification for me." "...Zhang Yuanqing's expression suddenly stiffened. He thought, Why don't you just ask about the Sacred Disk? What's my profession got to do with it? Seeing that he still didn't speak, the tabby cat's gaze grew sharp and threatening, drawing the curved bow taut, and gathering a glow of pale yellow into an arrow. "The Night-Wanderer Spirit..." Zhang Yuanqing replied. The cat glanced at the curved bow, noting no unusual signs, then nodded in satisfaction and asked: "Since becoming a Spirit Realm traveler, have you ever killed more than twenty ordinary people?" "No." "Has your moral value declined by more than a thousand points annually?" "No!" "What is your current moral value?" "Let me check... 10,821 points." The cat's eyes widened in astonishment, her face momentarily stunned: "You're truly a paragon of moral virtue?" As a powerful Saint, even if he has never deliberately harmed ordinary people, he inevitably affects them during battles—this is simply unavoidable. Yet this young man, since becoming a spiritual realm traveler, has not caused the death of more than twenty ordinary people. Only seasoned spiritual realm travelers with years of experience have ascended to the status of Saint. This indicates that each time he engages in battle, he is exceptionally cautious, always placing the lives of ordinary people first—only thus can he have spared no more than twenty innocent lives over the long course of time. His annual moral value consumption not exceeding 1,000 points further suggests that he almost never commits any violations or misconduct. The lynx-cat is delighted and reassured, "Meow! Mr. Hu has finally found the ideal candidate!" The questions posed by the cat were based precisely on Mr. Hu's final wishes before his passing, not merely random inquiries or tests. Mr. Hu was deeply committed to character and integrity. "As for not letting the unworthy suffer—I know this," Zhang Yuanqing recalled the memories he had seen from Jia Feizheng. The three principles of private-line inheritance: never give to foreigners, never give to the mediocre, never give to the unworthy. The delighted tabby cat asked again, "Which organization do you belong to?" "Five Elements Alliance!" "What is the Five Elements Alliance?" "The largest official organization in Huaguo. It originated from the Water Deity's Palace, the Red Fire Guild, the Central Court, the White Tiger Army, and the Hundred Flowers Assembly." The tabby cat suddenly understood: "Ah, they are the ones! Those smaller organizations have now grown into official bodies, haven't they?" Smaller organizations? If the semi-divine members of the Five Elements Alliance heard your assessment, they might just come looking for a fight with you... Zhang Yuan thought to himself. "Are you not a Huaguo native, but rather a true Huaguo citizen?" the tabby cat asked. "Yes!" "What is your spiritual realm ID?" the tabby cat inquired. At that moment, Ci Cai, who had been sleeping, murmured softly, her eyelashes trembling—signs of awakening. Red Rooster didn't hesitate. He raised his hammer and delivered a solid blow of eighty pounds straight to the handsome face of the single-line knight. Though the master was sturdy and even weakened, Red Rooster couldn't knock Eighty-eight, eighty-eight, one hundred... Zhai Cai kicked his legs and lost consciousness. Noticing the curious look from the tabby cat, Hong Ji Ge smiled politely, saying, "I think he now needs more rest." Ms. JOJO paid no further attention and waited until Zhang Yuanqing provided his spiritual realm ID. Then she said, "Please recount the events from just now, under the witness of the props." Following her request, Zhang Yuanqing faithfully repeated the entire sequence of events—the competition for the holy plate fragments, including Zhai Cai's status as a descendant of the Church's knightly lineage. Throughout this process, the recurved bow remained entirely stable. After a moment's thought, the tabby cat turned to Hong Ji Ge and the others, saying, "You too will answer my questions, under the witness of the recurved bow." Half an hour later, the tabby cat had a clear and vivid understanding of the present saints. The mediocre Fire General isn't a villain, nor is he entirely bad; the clever one counts as half a good person. The round-faced Star Official is endearing, the reserved one is disciplined and law-abiding, and the woman of European descent is quite respectable. It is very satisfied with the character of this team, especially Yuan Shi Tian Zun, who is truly a modern-day saint. "Do we need to awaken him?" Zhang Yuanqing pointed at Zhai Cai. "No," the tabby cat shook her head. "A master-level knight cannot be bound by equipment. Young people, you've passed the trials. I allow you to take the fragments of the Sacred Plate." Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed. "Thank you, Ms. JOJO." He looked at the black-and-gray tabby cat with warm anticipation on the round table. Then, the cat changed her tone. "But I don't know where the fragments of the Sacred Plate are hidden." "Ah?" Zhang Yuanqing stood motionless, staring at the cat in astonishment. The cat looked back at him with a calm, expressionless face. They stood in silence for a moment, and then Mrs. JOJO, slightly embarrassed, said, "This is the final trial left by Mr. Ho. The fragments of the Holy Plate are sealed within one of the items in the manor—你們 find them yourselves. But there are two rules you must follow: First, you must not damage any item in the manor. Second, besides the fragments of the Holy Plate, you must not take anything else. Mr. Bernt has stored a good amount of materials here; I won't interfere with his belongings, but I urge you not to touch them." "How are we supposed to find them?" Red Chicken Brother looked utterly puzzled. Indeed, the fragments were sealed—of course, if they weren't in a sealed state, Mr. Bernt would have discovered them long ago. Zhang Yuanqing looked at his teammates, slightly stressed, and recounted the entire process of breaking the seal on Fu Qingyang from the "Zhou Ji Feng Niu Zun" and retrieving the fragments of the Holy Plate. Sun Miao Miao immediately pointed to the painting of the lady in a qipao and said, "I believe the fragments are sealed within that painting." Kuan Ya immediately turned to The tabby cat tapped the table, displeased, saying, "What are you looking at me for? I truly don't know!"
