636. Senior Copper Trigram Has Set Me Up!
"Who is it?" Su Clan’s Sixteen was startled. Her petite body was poised to strike, her internal energy condensing, and her right hand formed a knife. Her bright eyes were fixed on the burly man with a sinister grin.
A cultivator at the Third-Grade Realm... and judging by appearances, they've been waiting for her here for a long time. Is this another assassination attempt by the Su Clan's enemies?
In an instant, Su Clan’s Sixteen's body retaliated. Her small face hardened, and her right palm lashed out—<Heavenly River Saber Technique * Overlord Blade Art * Blade Emperor>!
A powerful and awe-inspiring slash.
A violent Saber Intent erupted from Sixteen's petite body.
Just as she made her move, the burly man with the sinister grin made a face at her and said in a strange voice, "Sixteen, guess who I am?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a look of panic flashed in the eyes of the burly man with the sinister grin. "No! Sixteen, it's me..."
Is that Song Shuhang's voice?
At the critical moment, Sixteen pulled his right palm back with all his might, trying to retract the Saber Qi of his Heavenly River Saber Technique as much as possible.
However, the residual force of the palm strike still landed heavily on Song Shuhang's body.
The Heavenly River Saber Technique is incredibly domineering. Its strikes are characterized by unstoppable force, capable of slaying gods and demons alike! Once unleashed, such a sword technique is extremely difficult to retract.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh~~" Song Shuhang let out a miserable scream as he flew backward through the rain—he wasn't wearing that 'Jade-Green Kasaya' because he was going to see Sixteen. So Sixteen's knife was entirely borne by his own body.
Song Shuhang's True Liquid True Qi River forth in time, forming a protective aura. However, how could such a hastily formed protective aura withstand Su Clan’s Sixteen's ultimate technique, the 'Heavenly River Saber Technique'?
Even though Sixteen swiftly withdrew his Saber Qi at the last moment, the strike was still incredibly powerful and imposing.
After being slashed and sent flying, Song Shuhang landed heavily in a puddle. Rainwater fell on his face and streamed down his face—his heart was broken.
This script is wrong!
In Shuhang's imagination, the scene should be like this: [In the drizzling rain, he leaned casually against the eaves of the house with its green tiles and white walls, and then Su Clan’s Sixteen walked past him with an umbrella.]
He jumped out joyfully and shouted at Sixteen, "Sixteen, guess who I am?"
Sixteen was startled at first, then broke into a cute smile, "Shuhang, you scared me."
Then the two, reunited after a long separation, smiled at each other in the misty drizzle.
But unexpectedly, Sixteen suddenly attacked, and with deadly force—and he fell in the raging storm, large raindrops hitting his face and covering it.
My chest feels like it's going to split open, and I feel so tightness in my chest.
During the downpour, Shuhang lay in a puddle, completely soaked.
In front of him, Su Clan’s Sixteen held an umbrella, one hand still in a palm-blade position, looking at Shuhang with a puzzled expression.
Song Shuhang gave a wry smile, unfastened the function of the Transformation Brooch on his body, and said to Sixteen, "Sixteen, it's me Shuhang. It hurts so much, help me up."
Sixteen's attack hurt a lot, but fortunately he was physically strong, so apart from the pain, he wasn't injured.
However... Su Clan’s Sixteen did not immediately come to help him up. Instead, she looked at him Vigilance, and her right palm once again formed a knife shape with her fingers together, and Saber Qi was gathering on it.
Song Shuhang: "..." What's wrong now? I've already turned back into my original form, so why is Sixteen reacting so coldly?
"Who are you? Why are you impersonating Song Shuhang!" Su Clan’s Sixteen said coldly, holding an umbrella in one hand and pointing at Song Shuhang with the other. Her dark, bright eyes were full of icy intent.
"What? It's me, Song Shuhang! I'm not an imposter!" Song Shuhang sat up from the puddle, rubbing his chest vigorously. "Sixteen, don't you recognize me? Oh, oh, I remember now. Don't I look strange? It's because of the Heavenly Tribulation. My hair and eyebrows are gone. My long hair now is because I used a 'Hair-Growth Technique' to make it grow this long all at once. I haven't had time to shave it off yet."
"Still being stubborn at a time like this? If that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite." Su Clan’s Sixteen took small, light steps, approaching Song Shuhang step by step, her small hands flashing with Saber Intent.
"Isn't it because of my hair and eyebrows?" Song Shuhang hurriedly said, "Sixteen, are you misunderstanding something?" -- Does he need to prove 'I am who I am'? How can he prove that?
"Hmph, the real Song Shuhang was sent back into space by Fairy Flowing Firefly a few days ago. He's still in space now." Su Clan’s Sixteen said coldly, "Tell me, who exactly are you? What is your purpose in impersonating Song Shuhang to approach me?"
Song Shuhang was stunned.
Holy crap! His mind went blank!
I was completely screwed over by that Senior Copper Trigram fortune teller!
"Hey, Sixteen, relax and let me explain." Song Shuhang quickly waved his hand and said—he was under a lot of pressure as Sixteen kept getting closer.
"Actually, it wasn't me who was sent into space the second time. It was Senior Copper Trigram!" Song Shuhang explained, "At that time, Senior Copper Trigram suddenly disguised himself as me... Then, he unfortunately encountered @#%×Fairy Liu Ying and was sent into space. Fairy Flowing Firefly didn't recognize Senior Copper Trigram's disguise and announced in the group chat that she had sent me into space again. But in fact, I was still on Earth at that time."
Su Clan’s Sixteen stopped in her tracks, her bright black eyes still fixed on Song Shuhang in front of her.
"Is everything alright now?" Song Shuhang laughed. "I saw the record in the Nine Provinces Number One Group that you were coming to Jiangnan District. So I secretly came to find you, planning to give you a surprise."
Su Clan’s Sixteen's eyes darkened slightly. After a moment, she shook her head firmly. "Impossible. Shuhang clearly only advanced to the Second-Grade Realm not long ago, before the Hand Tractor Race."
The young man before them had already Third-Grade Realm!
Song Shuhang only began cultivating a few months ago; how could he have advanced to the Third-Grade Realm in just a few months? Are you kidding me?
"I've advanced again! I just advanced this morning. You can smell it; I still have the scent of the Heavenly Tribulation on me," Song Shuhang said hurriedly.
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, "I only smelled the aroma of scallions."
"..." Song Shuhang scratched his head. "How about I show you my ID card?"
"That kind of thing is completely unreliable," Su Clan’s Sixteen said. When the senior cultivators came out of seclusion, the first thing they did was to find the 'Snow Wolf Cave Master' in the Nine Provinces Number One Group to process various certificates.
What the Snow Wolf Cave Master can do, other cultivators can naturally do as well. So how can an ID card be trusted?
"Then what will it take for you to believe I'm Song Shuhang?" Song Shuhang was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Sixteen lowered her head slightly, her eyes bright—in fact, after chatting with Song Shuhang for a few minutes, she vaguely realized that he was indeed Shuhang. Although his aura had changed, his body had grown much taller, and even his cultivation level had changed, his personality was unique, and she could confirm it with just a little contact.
However... she still wanted to test Song Shuhang one more time.
"Then, let me ask you a question." Su Clan’s Sixteen, holding an umbrella, came to Shuhang's side and shielded him from the rain.
Song Shuhang: "What's the problem?"
"That day, we were chased by the uncle from the Immortal Farmer Sect, and after we finally hid... what did you give me to eat?" Sixteen asked softly.
This was something only she and Song Shuhang knew.
"That Grain-Repelling Pill?" Song Shuhang asked sheepishly—did Sixteen still remember that Grain-Repelling Pill?
Sixteen laughed, revealing a shallow dimple on her face.
She reached out and pulled Song Shuhang up from the ground.
As soon as Song Shuhang stood up, Sixteen gritted his teeth inwardly— Song Shuhang had grown much taller than he had a few months ago, increasing from 1.75 meters to 1.82 meters.
As for Su Clan’s Sixteen, she just isn't growing; she's only a little over 1.5 meters tall...
With a height difference of nearly thirty years, if she were to hug Song Shuhang, she would only reach his chest.
Why do you need to grow taller? 1.75 meters is already great, why do you need to grow any taller? If you keep growing, are you going to become a two-meter-tall little giant?!
Seeing Sixteen suddenly become very angry, Song Shuhang scratched his head in confusion. What had he done to offend Sixteen this time?
Sixteen finally let out a soft sigh.
Then, she reached out and supported herself on Song Shuhang's body, and a stream of liquid true energy flowed from her palm, covering Shuhang's body.
In an instant, all the moisture on Shuhang's clothes and hair evaporated.
"True energy can be used like this? "Song Shuhang curiously experienced the process in detail.
Seemingly sensing Song Shuhang's thoughts, Su Clan’s Sixteen explained softly, "Any fire-attribute true qi can do this. It's not difficult."
This is a relatively convenient method. If you don't have fire-attribute true energy, you'll have to use spells like 'Cleansing Garment Spell' in conjunction with it.
"Fire-attribute true energy? I remember I have both lightning and fire attributes," Song Shuhang.
"As long as you have fire attribute, that's enough," Su Clan’s Sixteen said. "This is also a method to train your ability to control true qi. A-Qi taught me this way before. In a moment, I'll teach you how to control your true qi to evaporate the moisture on your clothes and hair. You can try it yourself to improve your true qi control."
"Okay." Song Shuhang then asked, "Sixteen, where did you originally want to go?"
Sixteen paused—she had originally thought Song Shuhang was still in space, so she wanted to stroll around the Jiangnan University Town area. Before Tribulation Transcendence again, she wanted to see the place where she had first met Shuhang.
But to her surprise, Song Shuhang came knocking on her door and gave her a 'surprise'—she almost killed Song Shuhang.
So, where do we go now?
Sixteen looked down and suddenly saw the red clothes she was wearing. She had been brought out by the Dharma King Creation this time, and they had left in a hurry without even a change of clothes.
Sixteen replied, "I want to look for a clothing store."
"Clothes?" Song Shuhang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Sixteen, come with me, I happen to have some clothes that suit you perfectly, I'll give them to you!"
