Chapter 83: Confessing Mistakes

Translator: GravityTales  Editor: GravityTales

The whole night sky was covered with stars as the sparkling lights were being reflected back on the sea’s surface. The beautiful girl floated as though a fairy descended from the Nine Heavens. Her toes tapped gently on the sea surface as though she was treading on the sea waves as she traversed along the sea toward the figure who sat cross-legged on the beach.

After a dozen breaths…

Kilometers in distance had been traversed as the beautiful girl arrived. She stopped tens of meters away from Tang Xiu as her bright eyes carefully looked at him a few times. Then, she carefully pulled out a painting from her chest and compared the picture to Tang Xiu’s face. Shortly after, a disappointed expression was drawn on her face as she shook her head and folded up the picture, putting it back into her bosom.

“Huh?”

Tang Xiu’s eyes instantly opened. His eyes were instantly fixated on the beautiful girl with a cold expression in his eyes. The girl before him seemed 20-years-old in appearance. And much to his surprise, her cultivation was a lot stronger than his. He was even unable to sense her arrival, and only after she was tens of meters away was he aware of her arrival.

“Who are you?” The alluring girl asked with her clear and crisp voice.

Tang Xiu responded indifferently, “I’m just a guest to dine here. And you are?”

The girl said with a smile, “I am the owner of this place. I’m called Gu Xiaoxue. Just like you, I’m also a cultivator who takes the immortal cultivation path. What’s your name?”

Tang Xiu cupped his fist and said, “Tang Xiu, a loose cultivator.”

Tang Xiu? Gu Xiaoxue blinked. The face on the picture appeared again in her mind. The same name, but why was he so different? She felt that she had to probe further but then thought that it might perhaps be the same surname and name only. She didn’t dwell on it further as she smiled and said, “There are a lot of martial artists visiting our Everlasting Feast Hall. But after all these years. more than the last decade, only fewer than 10 cultivators have visited this place.”

Tang Xiu’s complexion changed. He could grasp the key point from Gu Xiaoxue’s words: cultivators and immortal cultivation.

After a moment of silence, he asked, “You have seen other cultivators?”

Gu Xiaoxue nodded, “Yes! I also have been to many places, inviting them to be a guest at my Everlasting Feast Hall. But, it’s unfortunate that cultivators who know alchemy and medicinal knowledge are really rare.” With that said, a dejected expression emerged on her face.

Tang Xiu’s eyes squinted as he nodded and said, “Since you are this place’s owner, can I ask you something?”

“Be my guest!” Gu Xiaoxue back to her usual expression and smiled.

Tang Xiu continued, “The moment I came here, I saw from the distance and overlooked that you have deployed a very powerful Formation Array. The array seems to able to sever the water, contain the dragon, gathering spiritual qi, drawing spiritual vein, and takes advantage of the heaven and earth’s feature, and I believe that his place has a very valuable Feng Shui pattern. Could you tell me what this Formation Array is called?”

Gu Xiaoxue exclaimed out loud in disbelief, “Y-y-y-you… you can even see the Water Block Dragon Pen? Heavens! Are you an Array Master?”

“Thump… thump…” Tang Xiu’s heart thumped madly. A disbelieving expression filled his face. He was the one who created this Water Block Dragon Pen Array. Apart from him, only his first disciple knew about this array. And he had long lost information about her whereabouts. It was impossible for outsiders to know about this array. But, how would this Formation Array appear on Earth?

Who was it? Could it be her?

Tang Xiu’s huge imposing manner skyrocketed fast, as the overwhelming aura pressed toward Gu Xiaoxue. Beams of light flashed in his eyes as he looked at her and spoke in a deep tone, “Tell me, who deployed this Water Block Dragon Pen Array?”

Gu Xiaoxue was stunned. Never once she ever dreamed that the very same boy with weak cultivation in front of her would even be able to exude such a terrible aura. This aura made her greatly discomforted, as it brought along a menacing and threatening feeling. She subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

“It was my Master!”

Tang Xiu replied with a stern voice, “Who is your Master?”

Gu Xiaoxue’s black eyebrows pricked as a stream of anger welled up inside her heart. She was polite with him, and Tang Xiu unexpectedly gave her the rude attitude. She coldly snorted and resisted the pressing aura Tang Xiu sent her, and then spoke, “Why the hell should I tell you? Who are you to begin with? I warn you that I _am_ _not_ a girl that’s easy for you to bully. With such cultivation base of yours, it will be easy for me to knock you out.”

Tang Xiu’s breath froze a moment as he suddenly retracted back his imposing aura. A wise man knew better to hold back the fight if the odds were against him. And he admitted that he was not this girl’s opponent at present. He also knew that he had lost his manner because he was too anxious to know the person who deployed this Water Block Dragon Pen Array.

“I really apologize for losing my manners.” Tang Xiu cupped his hands and spoke.

Gu Xiaoxue coldly snorted and also retracted back her aura. She then lightly replied, “As for who my Master is, you can forget it. I don’t like your attitude. The moment you finished your meal here, get lost quickly! And DO NOT ever come back to this place again!”

Tang Xiu’s complexion slightly changed and lightly said, “I am a guest and you’re the host. This truth, I think you understand it. I don’t eat and drink for free. And I can also pay.”

“We do not welcome you here.” Gu Xiaoxue knitted her brows and said.

A thought crossed Tang Xiu’s mind as he immediately said, “With that said, you seem to want to prevent me from coming, yes? Trying to shut me out?”

“You’re right!”

A happy and self-satisfied expression emerged on Gu Xiaoxue’s face.

Tang Xiu lightly said, “I heard that you have the Thousand Revolution Array here. It’s your rule that if one were able to break through this Formation Array, he doesn’t have to pay for his meals and drinks, right? I’ll try your array. Please lead the way!”
