2206 Stop
Chu Liuyue felt that she was deeply cheated.
Back at the Red Moon Desert, how much effort did she spend understanding those complicated Xuan formations?
There were quite a few times in the middle where she really couldn’t recall, and Big Baby lectured her strictly. At that time, she just thought that her talent was limited and was worried that she would let Big Baby’s expectations down, so she felt guilty for a long while.
In the end… he actually took the knowledge that far exceeded her cultivation level to force her to cultivate?
It was a pity that she was too naive back then. Though she found it hard, she had never doubted Big Baby.
Without asking, Lan Xiao and Diwu Zhangze definitely knew of this, and they were half-accomplices!
Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth. “When I find them, we’ll see how I’ll deal with them!”
“A’Yue, this means that you’ve seen all the Xuan formations before?” Tuan Zi’s soft and milky voice came from inside her heart.
Chu Liuyue held her forehead. “That’s not true, but…”
But the closer she was to the Fantasy Divine Hall, the higher the percentage of the Xuan formations she had seen!
In the beginning, she didn’t find it amiss. But when she saw the Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formations that Big Baby said were King Xuan Master ones appear continuously in the Great King Xuan Master region in large quantities, she knew that there was definitely something amiss.
Sensing her thoughts, Tuan Zi excitedly asked, “If that’s the case, won’t you be able to understand all the Xuan formations on the Star Path in no time? That’s great!”
Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up slightly. “That’s why I came back.”
For the first few, she could explain that she was talented and lucky. But if she continued in this manner, anyone could tell that she was problematic.
Although she desperately wanted to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall to find Big Baby and the rest, she had her considerations. If she didn’t handle the doubts and suspicions of the surrounding people, it would have an unknown impact on her future.
She came to Fantasy Divine Palace not long ago and didn’t understand the background, so she could not enter it impulsively.
“Let’s wait first and see what reactions there are on Fantasy Divine Palace’s side before we make the next move,” Chu Liuyue said calmly.
Originally, she was worried about Big Baby and the rest, so she was focused on passing the Star Path to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall. But now that she knew she had seen most of the Xuan formations on the Star Path, she was not so anxious.
Tuan Zi did not quite understand. “I’ll listen to you then, A’Yue!”
Chu Liuyue walked over to sit and closed her eyes to rest.
She had set up Xuan formations the past few days without rest, and it did use up a large amount of her force and energy.
“A’Yue, if we wait for a while, Big Baby, Grandpa, and the rest should be fine, right?”
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath and grunted. “Only they can trick others. Who can bully them!?”
“Ah-choo!” Lan Xiao suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and whined, “Who misses me so much…”
He surveyed the surroundings, and it was still a patch of darkness.
He sighed and lay back down. “Sigh, days like this are really boring… Why don’t you send a few people over, and I’ll help you teach them?”
Nobody answered.
Lan Xiao snorted. “Forget it if you don’t want to. Back then, so many people begged me, and I refused. It’s such a good chance now, yet you’re going to miss it. How—”
“You’re just a fallen soldier. All the glory in the past has turned into naught. If you always live in the past, other people will just find you pitiful.” That voice came from far away.
Lan Xiao’s lips curled up into a sinister smile. “You know clearly who is living in the past.”
…
“Miss Xiao Ba?”
Xiao Ba was lying on the chair and closed her eyes to sleep when she suddenly heard a man’s voice from outside the courtyard. She could not help but open her eyes and look over strangely.
A man stood outside the door and looked over nervously and expectantly.
This courtyard was very big, and there was only a short bamboo fence surrounding it, not affecting one’s vision. Hence, the people outside could easily see the situation in the courtyard.
It was also the same for the person inside the courtyard.
“Who are you?” asked Xiao Ba in confusion.
That man instantly felt as if a pot of cold water was poured on him, and his expression was awkward for a moment. However, he quickly recovered and laughed.”Miss Xiao Ba, I’m Liang He! We met at the medicinal mountain before!”
Xiao Ba blinked and then recalled that she did see this face before. “Oh, it’s you. I’m sorry, I have a bad memory. I can’t really remember those who aren’t especially good-looking.”
She had the same attitude to humans and objects—she only picked the good-looking ones. She even had to pick the petals she used for her bath, let alone a person.
This Liang He looked like he was 27 or 28. Among normal people, he was considered to have decent features, but he just became the norm to Xiao Ba.
After suffering that mockery, Liang He was not angry. That was because Xiao Ba did have the right to say it.
Besides, he fell in love with Xiao Ba at first sight. When he heard this now, he just felt that Xiao Ba was straightforward and cute, and he wasn’t enraged at all.
“That’s fine. I’ll come a few more times, and you’ll be able to remember me, Miss Xiao Ba.”
Xiao Ba suddenly recalled something and suspiciously sized him up. “How do you know my name?”
Liang He laughed. “I naturally went to ask around. Miss Xiao Ba, you’re so pretty that I can find out without much effort.”
Then, he became nervous. “It’s indeed a little offensive for me to do this. Miss Xiao Ba, are you upset?”
Xiao Ba laughed. “What’s there to be upset about this?”
Anyway, she had seen such matters many times. There was nothing to mind.
Could it be that she would live while hiding her name and identity in Fantasy Divine Palace?
“Say it. Why are you looking for me? If it’s nothing urgent, I want to rest.”
“Yes! Yes!” Liang He said hurriedly, “Miss Xiao Ba, you previously said that you wanted the soul sky berry, so I specifically came to send them over. I brought all the ones you took a fancy to earlier.”
Xiao Ba was originally lazy. When she heard this, she instantly looked shocked. “All? There’s more than hundreds of them.”
Liang He laughed and said in a flattering manner, “Yeah, they’re all here.”
Xiao Ba raised her sharp brows and glanced at him with inspection. Then, she said in a seemingly smiling manner, “Won’t Eighth Deity be angry if she knew that you were doing this?”
“Miss Xiao Ba, you might not know, but there are quite a few places on the medicinal mountain that grow this soul sky berry. The ones I’ve brought are just a portion of it. Lord Deity won’t be angry because of this.”
Xiao Ba heard this and laughed. “So Seventh Deity wasn’t lying when he said that we could casually use the items on the medicinal mountain.”
The person who truly didn’t want her to take the soul sky berry was still the high and mighty Eighth Deity!
