Chapter 114 I'm Not Serious
Chapter 114 I'm Not Serious
"What do you mean? Are you implying something about us?"
Kong Hao could not tolerate the Holy Son being smeared like this. "We are here on important business. Besides, you are here too. I don't think you are any respectable women either."
Yun Fuzhao agreed, "I'm not serious, I'm crazy."
"..."
Kong Hao never expected that there could be someone in this world with such a thick skin; he was speechless.
Just like in the novel, Yu Nian'er was heartbroken and ran out crying. Wen Yan, forgetting about finding the treasure, hurriedly chased after her.
The excitement was a bit short-lived, and Yun Fuzhao felt a little disappointed.
"You said you came here on important business, what is it?"
The original plot stated that the male lead came to find a treasure. Could it be that Gong Yuhe also came for this?
A treasure that even the Hall of Rebirth covets must be no ordinary item.
"None of your business," Kong Hao snorted. "Mind your own business."
Yun Fuzhao scoffed at him, "With such a bad temper, be careful no girl will like you."
"you you……"
Kong Hao's face flushed red instantly.
Seeing his appearance, Yun Fuzhao understood that only the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Rebirth Hall needed to remain chaste.
"Senior Sister Yun, let's go back," Song Ying said, looking at the sky outside. "The sun is about to set, and I haven't practiced my sword yet."
"Sure. I happen to have something to do too."
Before leaving, Yun Fuzhao said to Gong Yuhe, "Come visit our Wuya Sword Sect when you have time."
"A third-rate sect—"
“Kong Hao,” Gong Yuhe said in a calm tone, “do not be rude.”
He then replied to Yun Fuzhao with a simple, "Okay."
This Holy Son is quite a good person. If we can win him over and be on good terms with their sect, then the Boundless Sword Sect will truly have no rivals in the cultivation world.
Thinking of this, Yun Fuzhao smiled even more brightly at him, "Then it's settled."
An hour later, Yun Fuzhao came to find Qu Wangzhi.
"So, did you see any interesting formations?"
Qu Wangzhi was sleeping, but when he heard the noise, he came out, his hair all messy.
"Saw."
Yun Fuzhao poured him a cup of tea. "The Two Elements Dust Array is ranked number one on the famous array list. Does Master know about it?"
"Of course I know."
Qu Wangzhi's expression was calm, and Yun Fuzhao couldn't see anything amiss, so she figured she was probably overthinking it.
"That formation is really something, but it's too profound. I was originally planning to learn it. But the second formation is also quite good; it's easier to understand than the first one."
"Why bother learning that?" Qu Wangzhi snorted. "If you're going to learn something, learn the best."
“Is it because I don’t want to learn?” Yun Fuzhao said with a heartbroken expression. “It’s because I simply can’t learn it.”
[He Yu, member of the Yun family brigade: I have a feeling this girl is up to no good.]
Haha, I think so too.
Qu Wangzhi was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem. "With your teacher here, are you afraid you can't learn it? What's so difficult about the mere Yin-Yang Dust Array?"
Yun Fuzhao's eyes sparkled, "He truly deserves to be my master."
Qu Wangzhi's lips curled up in a wild smile.

Xuantian Sect.
At this moment, it was the Xuantian Sect's advancement competition, and many disciples had gathered in the square.
"I want to challenge Senior Brother Geng Xiu."
"You've got guts, but too bad, you've run into me."
Geng Xiu chuckled and drew his sword, flying onto the dueling platform.
Everyone assumed he would win the match, so few disciples paid attention to this side.
However, after only a short while, Geng Xiu was forced to retreat in defeat. His opponent's longsword suddenly thrust at him, and he was unable to dodge in time, as the sword pierced his heart.
"what's the situation?!"
"That's not right, how could Senior Brother Geng Xiu be no match for him?"
Even the disciple was shocked.
Just as everyone was still in shock, something even stranger happened.
Geng Xiu fell to the ground with a thud. The long sword had pierced through his body, but he didn't bleed at all.
The disciples belatedly realized what was happening and burst into screams.
"This isn't even human, is it??"
"Help! There's a ghost!"
The disciple's panic quickly attracted the attention of the other elders.
They took Geng Xiu back to the elders' quarters.
"This……"
They looked at each other, unsure how to react.
"What on earth is this?"
"I've heard of a puppet that can mimic human behavior to such an extent that it's indistinguishable from a real person. Could this be...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with an extraordinary presence walked in from outside.
"metropolitan."
The visitor was none other than Xiao Ye, the sect master of the Xuantian Sect.
"To actually kill our disciple right under our noses," Xiao Ye's expression was not good. "This person is probably not simple."
"At the last auction, the Qingqiu Fox that our sect bought was snatched away by a Mahayana cultivator. Could it be that he did it again this time?"
"So, Geng Xiu was in charge that time too."
Xiao Ye frowned upon hearing this. "Investigate this matter thoroughly. If he really did it, even if he is a Mahayana cultivator, I will kill him without hesitation."
At that moment, a man in black robes silently entered the main hall.
"Envoy, what brings you here?"
Xiao Ye spoke respectfully.
"Our lord has sent me to assist you in investigating this matter," the man said calmly. "No matter who it is, they cannot escape the eyes of ghosts."
……
Yun Fuzhao was tired.
This top-ranked formation truly lives up to its name; it's not something a half-baked person like her could master.
After studying for a day, she still couldn't remember the formations.
However, there were still gains. Yun Fuzhao was certain that her master had an intricate connection with this number one.
She suspected that this formation was either Qu Wangzhi's, or that he was so powerful that he could easily copy even formations from the Famous Formations Ranking.
Whichever guess it is, it's incredible.
Yun Fuzhao slowly returned to his residence, only to find Lan waiting for him.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to living here?"
Lan shook her head and pulled her into the house. Another barrier was erected.
Yun Fuzhao realized that something was amiss. She abandoned her lazy attitude and sat up straight. "What happened?"
I have something for you.
"what?"
Lan took out an exquisite box from the storage bag on her waist, opened it, and inside lay a pearl the size of an egg. "This was a gift from my father for my birthday. These past few days at the Boundless Sword Sect, I have felt a long-lost warmth. I am very grateful to you, Yun Fuzhao."
"Oh, you're too kind."
Yun Fuzhao took the box. Judging from its color and size, it could be sold for a lot of money.
She examined it closely, and as she looked, she realized something was wrong; what was underneath the pearl was...
Yun Fuzhao picked up the pearl, which was placed on a piece of antique parchment.
Lan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"
When Yun Fuzhao saw the parchment clearly, he gasped in shock. This...this...wasn't this the fragment of the mysterious map?
She quickly took out the other two maps from the storage bag and carefully placed them together.
A perfect match!
The previous two pieces were diagonally opposite, so nothing could be seen. But now that this piece has been taken out, three-quarters of the mysterious map has been revealed.
