  Oakley frowned and looked as if he had many troubles. He wanted to speak but did not.

  Gu Mengmeng looked up at Oakley and said, “If you’ve anything you want to say, just say them. Don’t keep them inside you until you suffer from internal injuries.”


  Oakley hesitated for a while before saying, “Is it really alright to leave these stone tablets here……? What if Cole’s people comes to steal them……”


  Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, “The Thirty-Six Stratagems is just a normal book over in my world, anyone can read it. But being able to read it and being able to use it are two completely different concepts. Let’s not mention those who are illiterate, those who can recognize these characters……how much do they even know?”


  Oakley did not understand her as he questioned, “Didn’t you say that Cole knows how to use them?”


  Gu Mengmeng glanced at Lea and then looked back at Oakley, smiling, “Cole knows how to use ‘The Thirty-Six Stratagems’ not because he recognized these characters but because his ancestors had read them out loud and passed it down one generation after next. He is probably smart and knows how to make use of some tactics but that is clearly not mature enough. If you want to understand these stratagems, you’ve got to work together with some historical allusion. A ‘Thirty-Six Stratagems’ without historic allusion is like a martial arts esoterica without the mental cultivation methods. It’s just an empty and nice shell that can’t kill anyone.”


  Oakley stared at Gu Mengmeng in half-understanding and then looked at Lea. Lea ruffled Gu Mengmeng’s hair with a doting gaze before peering at Oakley with the corners of his eyes, instructing him, “Listen to Mengmeng. You don’t have to understand, just follow her instructions.”


  Oakley still felt insecure but he could not resist any further.

  After contemplating for some time, he lifted his head and asked, “If Sauder meets any problem I can’t solve, how should I inform you?”


  Gu Mengmeng looked at the entrance and said with a plain tone, “Stop hiding and come on in.”


  After a series of rustling, a male with a feminine appearance walked into the meeting room. His gaze was only fixated on Gu Mengmeng as he bowed towards her in order and called, “Saintess.”


  After Snake tilted her the Saintess of the Snake King Valley and announced her position, the meaning of Saintess became different from the past.

  Originally, Snake had promised her to get rid of this title, but……it was too late.

  Forget it, this title was also a memento Snake left behind for her. Anyway, nobody could force her to do anything, let them call her Saintess then.

  “Did Wabei send you guys over?” Gu Mengmeng asked.

  The snake beast nodded and answered her, “Wabei ordered us to stay by your side to protect you. If you face any trouble, we’ll transmit the message back to the Snake King Valley and they will step forward to settle it.”


  Gu Mengmeng chuckled, she was aware that Wabei’s protection towards her was merely because of Snake.

  “You can stay behind in Sauder to help Oakley. If you guys face any tense situation, all that’s left is a little snake to transmit the message to Saint Nazaire.” Gu Mengmeng said.

  The snake beast’s face darkened and he cast a glance on Oakley, saying unwillingly, “I need to protect the Saintess.”


  Gu Mengmeng sniggered, slowly emitting the Snake King beast pressure in her. The snake beast knelt on the ground while shaking, perspiration dotting his forehead. He bit onto his lower lip and did not dare to oppose her.

  Gu Mengmeng kept her beast pressure slowly and said, “Keep that useless worry of yours and abide by my order.”


  The snake beast answered with a quivering voice, “Yes.”


  Gu Mengmeng stood up and the next second, Elvis reached forward to carry her. When they walked past Oakley, Gu Mengmeng said, “If there’s no other problem, I’ll set off back to Saint Nazaire three days later.”


  Oakley took a step back and lowered his head, assuring her, “I’ll arrange everything perfectly as soon as possible. You need not worry, mighty messenger.”
