(15)As if no one was around

Bai Yuting mentioned that Tianzun had a similar knife, and there seemed to be a story behind it.

"My master has a lot of knives in his knife cabinet." Bai Yutang said, "He is usually very lazy. I will go and tidy up his cabinet when I have time."

Everyone looked at Bai Yutang with suspicion, as if to say - you, young master, can also clean your room?

Bai Yutang also looked innocent, "What's the problem?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Bai Yutang continued, "When I was cleaning the knife library, I found a box that was casually placed on the top of the shelf. I had never noticed it before. There was a thick layer of dust on the box. My master often used it to clean knives. The box had probably not been opened for a long time, so I curiously opened it and took a look. Inside was an ordinary curved knife with a scabbard."

"Is it similar to this one?" Zhan Zhao asked, holding up the knife picture drawn by Gongsun.

"Very similar. The scabbard is also similar to what Tan Jin described. It is black leather with patterns engraved on it. It seems to be some stars or arhats... I didn't look too closely."

"Yes!" Tan Jin nodded, "It's a mythological picture of the stars."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "What happened next?"

"I was very curious, so I took out the knife to have a look..." Bai Yutang said, seeming a little helpless, "But then my master came running in, and when he saw me looking at the knife, he took it away and said something very strange."

"What did you say?"

"He said something like 'a stubborn stone cannot be melted, so it's better not to look at it.'" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Is this the style in which Tianzun usually speaks?"

Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "Not really... I'll take you to see him when I have time."

Zhan Zhao nodded immediately.

Zhao Pu looked at Ouyang Shaozheng beside him with some confusion - is this okay?

Ouyang also felt that...it turns out that it is so easy to meet a living immortal?

"I want to see him, too." Master Pang came over cheerfully, "I know that Tianzun is the supreme master of the martial arts world."

Bai Yutang looked at Pang Ji with regret, "My master doesn't see outsiders."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and all looked at Zhan Zhao - isn't he also an outsider? Could he be considered an insider?
(A/N: Bai Yutang and his double standards (｡>﹏<｡))

Bao Zheng coughed. He needed to stay calm and focus on the case and was forbidden to make jokes. So he waved his hand and said, "Young man, continue."

Bai Yutang nodded, "Then he put the knife back on the knife rack, and I didn't pay much attention to it. After a while, I went back to Xiankong Island. Master sent a pigeon message saying that he wanted to eat crabs, so I brought them to him. I remember it was raining heavily that day. When I walked in, I saw Master sitting at the table in a daze, with his chin supported by one hand. There was an empty box on the table."

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Pu asked, "Is it the box that holds the knife?"

"Yes." Bai Yutang nodded. "I asked him, 'Where is the knife?' He said, 'It was stolen.'"

...

Zhan Zhao was shocked, "How could someone steal something from the Heavenly Lord?"

Bai Yutang shrugged helplessly, "I asked him the same question, and it turns out that the other party used a very despicable method."
