Fred felt the moment was ripe and ventured, "Hey, there's something I want to ask you, Unscrupulous Priest.""Oh? What’s on your mind? Spit it out then!" Unscrupulous Priest said with a nonchalant shrug.Fred said, "It is a simple question. I’m just curious... Have you ever heard of a five-leaf clover?"The question seemed to hit a nerve. The Unscrupulous Priest's face twisted as if Fred had struck a raw wound. His expression darkened and his voice took on an edge. "Fred, why the sudden interest in the five-leaf clover? What do you want?"Truth be told, Fred had not been particularly fascinated by the five-leaf clover. To him, it was nothing more than a means to an end, a tool used to tame Nohn. The way it kept popping up, however, made Fred suspect there was more to it..."Yeah, the five-leaf clover. I heard it is native to these parts, so I figured I would ask you about it," Fred explained."N…nope!"Unscrupulous Priest became visibly flustered, his words tripping over themsel

"Do you really want to know? Fine, I'll spill it—I'm the five-leaf clover!" With those words, everything Fred that he understood of the world was turned on its head.What?The five-leaf clover?"Are you kidding me!?" Fred squared off against the so-called Unscrupulous Priest, his face etched with seriousness. "I don't find your joke the least bit funny. I'm warning you, you better come clean with me, or I'm going to be really ticked off."Despite Fred's threat, the Unscrupulous Priest's face remained firmly serious. "I've already told you, I'm the five-leaf clover. Why won't you believe me?""Isn't it said that only fated people can come across a five-leaf clover? What's the deal? Are you trying to throw me off by spinning this tale so you can keep the clover for yourself?"Fred was convinced he had figured it out. However, the Unscrupulous Priest just shook his head, a look of exasperation on his face. "You've got it all wrong! There's no rule saying a five-leaf clover can’t tak

Fred grinned. "As for what happens next, my guess is as good as yours. We'll just have to play it by ear and see what the others say."The Unscrupulous Priest's heart skipped a beat. He asked in a tone of disbelief, "Are you really going to gamble with my life without a clue on what's going to happen?"Fred paused, then nodded. "Yep, that's about it.""What a pain!"Feeling pressured, the Unscrupulous Priest was at a loss for words."A pain? Come on, you know you can't beat me. Just roll with it!" Fred chuckled."Okay, okay, I get it!" Hearing Fred's response, he sighed in resignation. "Just... make sure you put in a good word for me, will you?"Fred gave a knowing nod. "Just hang on a bit longer..."Following that, the duo set off toward their next destination. When they got back to the cave, Nohn was still convinced that Fred would not return for at least a year, maybe even longer. To his surprise, however, Fred came sprinting back in no time!Nohn's jaw dropped. He was dyin

Nohn rolled his eyes and retorted, "I'm not a good person, Fred. Don't be mistaken!"“You’re quite headstrong. It would be good if you could change a little!" Fred said."My temper has always been like this. I can’t change it even if I wanted to. You can forget about it!" Nohn replied quite seriously. Fred said helplessly, "You won't change? Are you sure?" “Yeah, why?"Nohn would not budge on this.Fred shrugged, but his expression suddenly changed. He said, "Let me say this, you belong to me, no matter what. Can you tone it down? This is unbecoming!"Nohn coughed and replied in embarrassment, "Fred, that’s not what I thought. Don't get me wrong!""Then what were you thinking? Forget it, Nohn. Since you and Horace have merged into the Triple Flair Cross Enigma Sect, all I want to know is how big the Shadowflame Sect is!""You mean our Sect?"Horace was a little unsure of how to reply.“The Shadowflame Sect is neither big nor small, but this is the first time we have face

Horace had just gotten to know Fred. He was not too sure about Fred’s character!If Fred was not a fan of these things or had some opinions about them, it would be a disaster! He knew even if a group of men banded together would be no match for Fred!At this time!Fred said, "Okay, that’s great if you say so. In that case, they will simply entertain the guests by singing songs and playing music, right?""That's right!" Horace nodded."They were our original entertainers. Some of these courtesans are powerful singers who can also dance really well! However, I have always stressed that nobody is allowed to push the girls around, regardless of their status. If they take a fancy to any of the girls, they can directly hire them or pursue the girl openly, I won’t have any objections to that! But I will put my foot down if they try anything funny!”He said all this very seriously.Fred nodded and said, "Okay, good to know you have your boundaries. If that’s how it is, I will support yo
