The Kid's Grown Up and Isn't Easy to Fool Anymore

Around noon.

Looking at the empty seat at the dining table, Lu Changzhi murmured something.

"I never imagined that Peak Master Xu was such a hard-working person, forgetting to eat and sleep."

It's already lunchtime, and he still hasn't come.

After all, the aroma is already filling the air everywhere.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he sensed Xu Kun move.

With a flash, Xu Kun arrived at the table.

"Coo coo coo."

An untimely sound emanated from Xu Kun's body.

The thoughtful look on Xu Kun's face vanished instantly, replaced by a slight blush as he awkwardly chuckled:

"I was going to hold back, but..."

As he spoke, Xu Kun shook his head:

"It's best not to test yourself too easily."

As he spoke, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks, looking expectant.

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile, and asked with a smile:

"A night has passed, has Peak Master Xu gained any insights?"

When this matter was mentioned, Xu Kun paused slightly.

After a moment's thought, he pondered and said:

"The arrangement of this illusion array is extremely sophisticated; it ranks among the top in Saint Rank arrays."

"At my current level, understanding it completely is probably not easy, but..."

"I did have some insights to share that night."

"Oh?"

Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up.

Sure.

As expected of Peak Master Xu, who has a "specialty".

Did he actually figure something out?

You should know that things like formations are provided by the system.

But what the system provides is absolutely incomparable to what one is capable of doing.

Doing things yourself is about creation, and that opens up endless possibilities.

For example, get yourself a high-end bed.

Lu Changzhi snapped out of his daze and continued to ask:

Tell me about it?

Mu Fan and the others also looked over.

In particular, Mu Fan and Qin Li showed surprise in their eyes.

They knew how powerful their master was.

Even the formation set up by his master was something that Peak Master Xu was able to comprehend.

Peak Master Xu is no simple character either!

Xu Kun glanced at the group, took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone:

"Cultivation requires a down-to-earth approach; if it's not working, it's not working."

As he spoke, Xu Kun gently shook his head:

"I can't understand it, I absolutely can't understand it."

"I'll try again after I've made further progress in Dao of Formations."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Lu Changzhi was also speechless.

So he's figured out a profound truth about life.

However, to be fair, there were indeed some gains.

Mu Fan and Qin Li both understood.

Really.

Even a casual arrangement by the master would be enough to make a group of geniuses suffer greatly.

After the meal, Xu Kun, as he had predicted, did not continue his meditation but left temporarily.

Lu Changzhi put the teapot away, glanced at it, and gently shook his head:

"This Peak Master Xu is becoming more and more like the sect leader."

They even ate all the tea leaves.

"However, there's only half a day left for the mission. I should probably go see the sect leader."

With that, Lu Changzhi got up and hurried outside.

From the outside, the courtyard still appears as a peaceful and serene place.

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Cang Wenyu's information page through the system again.

[Name]: Cang Wenyu

[Realm]: First level of the Void Transformation Realm

[Qualification]: High-Grade Spirit Rank

[Physique]: Clear Wind Physique (Low-Grade Heaven Rank)

"Has the sect leader finally broken through?"

If he remembered correctly, when he checked yesterday, it was still stuck at the Creation Realm.

Lu Changzhi's expression couldn't help but become somewhat strange:

"So, the sect leader might really be in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion."

"Then let's wait a little longer."

I was able to calm down and make a breakthrough, and now I have completed it.

It's about time.

Let's wait a little longer.

Sure enough, this seemingly small task wasn't something that could be done casually.

About half an incense stick's time had passed.

In the courtyard, the array formations began to dissipate one by one.

Cang Wenyu's laughter could be faintly heard coming from the courtyard:

"We really have to thank that kid Changzhi. If it weren't for him, none of us would have been able to make any breakthroughs. This training session has been quite long, and I'm guessing there will be a lot of things to take care of. I'll go check it out first..."

The sound grew closer and closer, then the door opened, Cang Wenyu walked out.

As soon as the door opened, Cang Wenyu was stunned and looked at Lu Changzhi:

"Changzhi, when did you arrive?"

Lu Changzhi smiled:

"It's been a while."

Is it the Changzhi at the door?

From inside the courtyard, a woman's gentle voice drifted out:

"You're here just in time. Would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu's expression subtly changed, then he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Let's do it another day. I happen to have something to discuss with Changzhi. Let's talk as we walk."

Although their arrival was timely, the house was in complete disarray, making it hardly the right time to entertain guests.

"Okay."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"I happen to have something to talk about too."

Sometimes, a tacit understanding is achieved simply by chance.

After walking some distance, Lu Changzhi asked:

"What brings you to me, Sect Leader?"

Cang Wenyu quickly found an excuse and said:

"I owe my breakthrough in cultivation level and strength during this seclusion to you."

Lu Changzhi waved his hand, "Sect Leader, you're too kind. It's good that I was able to help you. There's no need to thank me."

"You little rascal," Cang Wenyu said, shaking his head with a smile.

"You're getting better and better at talking."

Lu Changzhi smiled, then changed the subject and asked:

"Sect Leader, how did I come to be the Hidden Origin Peak?"

When this matter was mentioned, Cang Wenyu's expression faltered slightly, and he looked at Lu Changzhi.

Why did you suddenly ask about this?

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"I heard from the Ancestor that my Hidden Origin Peak was specially established?"

"Not bad." Cang Wenyu nodded.

"It is indeed a special arrangement; it seems you must have known some things as well."

Lu Changzhi nodded and then asked:

"I don't know why it was specially set up; there must be a reason."

Cang Wenyu pondered for a long time without speaking, but instead transmitted his voice:

"It's because of your parents."

"Back then, the two of them made tremendous contributions to the sect. Establishing Hidden Origin Peak was their last wish, which is why Hidden Origin Peak was set up and you were appointed as its peak master."

"Is it really because of your parents?"

Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

This situation seems quite familiar. Perhaps, I even harbor some deep-seated hatred here?

As he thought about it, Lu Changzhi was suddenly jolted.

No, this is very wrong!

This is very problematic!

Judging from what he has experienced, whether they are elders or disciples, they all wish they could arm themselves to the teeth with life-saving measures.

How could it just disappear so easily?

At that moment, Lu Changzhi looked at Cang Wenyu.

Their eyes met, Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment:

"In our sect, it shouldn't be easy to die unexpectedly, right?"

Cang Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and faced with Lu Changzhi's gaze, he was unable to answer.

I was careless.

The child has grown up and is no longer easy to fool.

"This matter is of great importance, but I don't know the specifics of what happened back then."

"But your parents never came back, and there must be something else involved."

After a pause, Cang Wenyu continued:

"Your current strength is still limited, so you probably can't make contact yet. Why don't you improve your strength first?"

Lu Changzhi thought about it and did not object.

He believed in the sect and was willing to do what his abilities allowed.

"In that case, let's first cultivate to the Saint Realm, and then consider this matter," Lu Changzhi nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Changzhi is sensible, so this matter should be temporarily put aside for the next few decades or even a hundred years."

Cang Wenyu thought to himself.
