Old Shank was dumbfounded at Philip’s shameless remark but simply shook his head in silent agreement.
Then, Old Shank looked at Zenith. “Let’s have a cup of tea…”
Zenith smiled and nodded. “Let’s go.”
The two vanished from the spot and reappeared high in the sky.
A tea table appeared in the air with a cloud beneath it. Two stools made of clouds slowly took shape.
Old Shank waved his hand gently, and a purple teapot steaming from the spout appeared on the tea table. Two cups stood next to the teapot.
“I just got the teapot and tea leaves. Let’s give them a try.”
Without further ado, Zenith sat down and took a sip of tea. After closing his eyes and savoring it carefully, favonovel.com opened his eyes and looked at Old Shank in surprise.
“Enlightenment tea? How did you get this?” Zenith asked curiously.
Old Shank smiled, pointed downward, and said, “I found an enlightenment tea plant in this city. I got this teapot there too. I think the White Emperor used it before.”
Zenith took another sip of the tea with a hint of enlightenment on his face. Old Shank followed suit.
Soon, both of them opened their eyes at the same time, and Zenith sighed before speaking, “I see…”
After the two finished the tea, Zenith looked at Old Shank and asked, “What do you want from me?”
It was strange for Old Shank to approach him, which normally would not happen. After all, their two families had no conflict or connection.
The Shank family was quite a special existence on the Starfall Continent.
Old Shank looked at Zenith with a trace of worry in his eyes.
“The Starfall Continent is going to undergo a drastic change…” Old Shank told Zenith his worries.
Hearing this, Zenith raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Oh? Didn’t you know about it ages ago?”
Old Shank shook his head, and his voice became steady and solemn. “The drastic change I’m talking about is not referring to the forces but to the whole continent.”
Zenith was taken aback this time. He thought that Old Shank was talking about the change of power, which always happened from time to time. Only the nine royal families and the ancient Heavenly Court did not change much.
Although they were also involved in the chaos this time, it was not particularly out of hand. At least in Zenith’s opinion, things were still within their control.
However, Old Shank said that the change would impact the whole continent, which was puzzling.
What exactly was this change?
Zenith looked at Old Shank and said gravely, “What’s going on? Tell me in detail.”
Old Shank sighed, “My main responsibility in the Shank family is to monitor the fate of the Starfall Continent, so our family generally won’t enter a power struggle. But some time ago, a weird feeling suddenly emerged… If the Shank family doesn’t get involved in the turmoil this time, we might be completely wiped out.”
