Chu Qingcheng did not continue to ask about the Four Directions Technique and the miraculous pill refining technique, but instead pointed her question towards the mysterious Celestial Phenomenon Mirror that had yet to appear. This meant that Chu Qingcheng was a very intelligent woman, and she did not force Xia Xingchen to speak about those fatal secrets, but instead used another secret that could not be considered as fatal to ease the awkward atmosphere.
”This …” Xia Xinghe wanted to say something, but hesitated.
”Let me guess …” ”Actually, that mysterious fourth-level Grandmaster in the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror didn't exist at all. It was you who used some mysterious method to disguise it, right?”
Now, it was Xia Xinghe's turn to be shocked.
Staring with widened eyes, Xia Xinghe stared at Chu Qingcheng. After a long moment, he finally broke into a relieved smile.
In the past, Nangong Xian was extremely smart. After she was reborn, how could she become stupid?
After all, in a certain sense, Chu Qingcheng's soul was still Nangong Xian!
”How did you guess that I was the one who faked the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror?” Xia Xinghe interestedly chatted with Chu Qingcheng.
Chu Qingcheng had a smile on her face as she sat cross-legged in front of Xia Xingchen. As she meditated, she spoke in a gentle tone, as though she was chatting with an old friend, ”I heard from Yiyi about your matters …”
However, during the day, you didn't ask that expert to kill the members of the three great families. Tonight, even though you have the absolute advantage, you still didn't invite that expert who's at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror to kill Fang Ruyu and Xue Long directly.
”My guess is that the mysterious expert at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror might not even exist!”
”As for the Four-sided Art you passed on to me, it's amazing. Compared to it, even my Falling Cloud Sect's best Heaven level technique is inferior.”
”Since you possess the divine art of alchemy and are able to pass it down to me, it's not impossible for you to disguise yourself as a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant.”
After speaking so much in such a fluent manner, Chu Qingcheng involuntarily started to pant. If it weren't for the fact that she scared Xue Long off, she would have already vomited blood.
After all, the Great Emperor Art wasn't something that could be used that easily. Not only that, the Four-sided Art Chu Qingcheng executed was even more powerful than Xia Xingchen's Non-Phase Divine Art!
Xia Xinghe shrugged his shoulders as he straightforwardly told Chu Qingcheng, ”Indeed. The first level of the Fang family's Celestial Phenomenon Mirror and the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror that forced the three great families to retreat were both disguises created by me using special techniques. In actuality, that so-called expert doesn't even exist.”
Back then in the Fang family, I had disguised myself as an expert at the first level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, and I was unable to kill Fang Zhen at the second level with a single palm. If it was really the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, then with a single palm strike, I could have easily turned Fang Zhen into meat paste.
”And there's also the time when I scared off the three great families. At that time, I couldn't even defeat the weakest of the three great families. Once I make a move, I will definitely be exposed. I just want to scare them off.”
”However, you must believe that I have absolutely no ill intentions toward you.”
Xia Xinghe's honesty caused Chu Qingcheng to be taken aback.
”Of course I believe you.” Chu Qingcheng smiled, ”Then with your current combat prowess, will you be able to defeat the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror?”
Even Chu Qingcheng herself didn't know why she would reveal such a mischievous smile when she was so incomparably aloof.
In front of Xia Xinghe, Chu Qingcheng seemed to have let her guard down. Not only that, she was in a strange state, completely unguarded from the depths of her soul.
”Celestial Phenomenon Mirror?” ”That's impossible.” Xia Xinghe shook his head, saying, ”I'm not that heaven-defying, to the point of directly surpassing two realms to fight.”
Chu Qingcheng tilted her head and smiled as she stared at Xia Xingchen for a long time. Finally, her lips curled up, as she slowly stood up, ”I won't be delaying you from your pill refinement. There's still a little more than a day until the entrance examination to the TianChu Martial Academy.
