Chapter 621 Fooled by...

"Everyone, there is nothing to see here for now, you can go back to what you were doing before!" Having realized why so many people had gathered around to see what was happening, Xuan Hao was about to say something when Shu Yao beat him to it.

Following what Shu Yao said, although reluctant to leave without finding out about what had happened to the centre of the Seventh Star Peak, the elders and disciples understood the intention behind what Shu Yao said, as all of them soon left the area. Leaving behind only Shu Yao, Zu Fei, and Feng Chen.

"So… Elder Xuan, would you mind explaining what this is about...?" Seeing that the elders and disciples had left, Zu Fei was the first one to step forward and ask about what he had done to the centre of the Seventh Star Peak with a smile on her lips.

"As you can see, I transformed the centre of the Seventh Star Peak into a lake to hold this water for future use and at the same time to serve as a special place for both elders and disciples to come and cultivate…." Feeling a shiver run down his spine for some reason when facing Zu Fei, Xuan Hao quickly brushed the feeling aside as he began explaining his reason for suddenly making such a large lake, while also remembering to motion towards the water spewing out from the 6 different qi springs below him.

"Indeed… This water is really useful for helping when it comes to cultivation!" Having already made her way down into the empty lake that was slowly being filled up by the 6 qi springs during his explanation, Shu Yao nodded her head as she carefully pulled up some of the water before inspecting it.

Even if she didn't have enough time to thoroughly inspect the water, she could still understand just how useful it was for improving the strength of the sect. Especially so given that the 6 origin points of the water seemed to have no intention of stopping any time soon.

"What Shu Yao says is indeed true, I'm sure both the elders and disciples will be delighted when they hear about this… Not to mention, the presence of the lake might make it easier to convince some of the older elders who are reluctant to leave to come over the Seventh Star Peak in the future!" Arriving shortly after Shu Yao, Feng Chen agreed with what she said, as he had already begun planning on how to use it for the benefit of the sect.

"…"

The only person who didn't say anything after arriving at the bottom of the empty lake already covered by a thin layer of qi rich water, was Zu Fei, who instead narrowed her eyes before picking up some water from the ground similar to what Shu Yao had done.

"Is something wrong?" Noticing this odd behaviour from Zu Fei, Xuan Hao asked this in a confused tone. Not understanding why Zu Fei's reaction was so different from the other two.

"Ah! It's probably because she had planned to build a flower pavilion to nurture spiritual flowers here… Before… You essentially turned it into a massive hole in the ground…" Answering before Zu Fei, Feng Chen smiled wryly after saying this.

"…"

At the same time Feng Chen explained this to Xuan Hao, Zu Fei's eyes narrowed even further, as her attention turned away from the water held in the palm of her hand before landing on Feng Chen.

"I see… I'm sorry…" Not knowing what to say as he had no idea Zu Fei already had plans for the centre of the Seventh Star Peak, Xuan Hao could only awkwardly apologies.

Given that he had already placed down the qi springs, Xuan Hao had no idea what to-

"Ah! How about this, you can build a pavilion on top of the lake and use the lake to grow spiritual water lotus flowers and water lilies? Although the deeper parts of the lake is too deep for this, the shallow areas around the edge of the lake should be a great location for this!" Having come up with the idea, Xuan Hao looked towards Zu Fei as he watched her narrowed eyes relax before a thinking look appeared on her face.

"Hm… Given the quality of the water… Growing water lotus flowers and lilies would indeed be a great idea. Given the high quantity of qi in the water, they should also come out as fairly high quality when finished growing up…" Muttering this to herself as she continued to look around the empty lake slowly filling up and the thin layer of water covering the bottom slowly rising, Zu Fei soon nodded her head with a satisfied expression on her face before turning towards Xuan Hao.

"This sounds like a great idea… I just hope you will stop Elder Song from using the water here before it fills up enough for me to start growing lotus flowers and water lilies!"

"That is fine with me, I'm sure Elder Song will understand and hold back with whatever event he ends up coming up with after seeing this place." Smiling happily after seeing that Zu Fei was satisfied, Xuan Hao could not help cursing the elders he had asked about the plans for the centre of the Seventh Star Peak just minutes earlier.

All of them had told him that no one had anything planned, yet it turned out that Zu Fei already had planned out something for the centre of the Seventh Star Peak… And looking at how upset she had looked, Xuan Hao understood that it should be something that she had been looking forward to making.

At least everything ended well, as Shu Yao would end up making a pavilion close to the edge of the lake, where she would grow and harvest both water lotus flowers and lilies in the future.

The use of these spiritual flowers was a complete mystery to him, as even with the knowledge he had gained through the help of the system, he still had no idea what the use of those two spiritual flowers were.

The only reason why he had even thought about these two rather unique spiritual flowers, was because he had once seen Zu Fei caring for a few of them she had kept in a small pond back at the Flying Sword Sect.

Back then, he had asked one of the elders about these two special spiritual flowers and had ended up learning that they were by far the most precious spiritual flower that the Flying Sword Sect produced and sold for spirit stones. The only producer and person who could take care of these delicate spiritual flowers was Zu Fei!

Something rather shocking to him back then, as Zu Fei's normal behaviour… Was rather violent and if he had not seen it for himself, he would never believe she could take care of such delicate spiritual flowers.

"That's great! Then I will get to planning and make sure to get the pavilion built before the water rises any further and makes it difficult to construct!"

Hit with a new wave of energy after hearing Xuan hao agree to her request, Zu Fei no longer looked upset and was instead extremely excited-

Whoosh-!

Leaving the empty lake with renewed energy without saying anything more.

"Looks like you will have to talk to Elder Song about this soon… From what I know about that old man, there is no way he would give up on using this water before it fills up this place…"

"…"

Hearing what Feng Chen said just after Zu Fei left, Xuan Hao could not help frowning as he felt like he had somehow been fooled by Zu Fei into doing something rather troublesome for her.

Not to mention convincing Elder Song to not use the water before the lake filled up, Xuan Hao had a feeling that the old man might just sneak in and take some away while he was not looking.

Although the sight of Elder Song stealing the qi rich water would be a rather entertaining sight to behold, Xuan Hao understood that if Elder Song really did something like that after finding out how useful it was for the disciples and elders, and it ended up getting out… Xuan Hao had a feeling that this would not have a negative impact on his reputation and would instead only serve to improve it even further!

"Haaaa… I will have to take my leave... It looks like I will have to have a small chat with Elder Song about this place…" Shaking his head as he said this, Xuan Hao soon waved goodbye to Shu Yao and Feng Chen before making his way back towards the Flying Sword Sect.

Officially, he had planned to go to the Main Star Peak and finish exploring, but now that would have to wait for a few hours as he first had to convince Elder Song about the virtues of waiting to reap the rewards at a later date…
