"What cultivation level is the little mouse at now?" Seeing Bai Ze, Tan You thought of that little golden mouse from the past. 'He seemed to be from the same clan as that man in golden robes? The one who acted all jealous when he saw I'd reached the Ninth Heaven.'
Bai Ze smiled. "Before I ascended, I helped it pass its eighth-rank Heavenly Tribulation. But there will be a new generation of Bai Ze in the future. If it's not stupid, it'll find a new patron to latch onto."
Peacock said, "How could it be stupid? It's as clever as they come. But that little thing will have a long wait if it wants to ascend. At least there's still hope, though."
Tan You thought for a moment and agreed. "There's no rush. How is the Demon Market doing these days?"
Old Niu replied, "It's doing alright. But Qing Ming is still young, after all, and with all of us having ascended, it's not that easy for him to manage the Demon Market well."
