63: Chapter 63: Deceiving Nangong Wan!

"What you said was indeed correct; that female Disciple really is Senior Sister Nangong from the Yanyue Sect. But how did you know?"

After confirming that Nangong Wan would not enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, Li Huayuan directly sent a voice transmission to Zhao Changsheng.

One must know that even Core Formation Cultivators like them hadn't seen through it, yet Zhao Changsheng, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, actually had.

It was truly too bizarre and felt unbelievable.

Therefore, Li Huayuan wanted to ask for clarification.

"This is related to my Physique. I used my Physique to Cultivate a Divine Ability, which is why I can see through it."

Zhao Changsheng casually made up an excuse to brush it off.

Although Li Huayuan was somewhat reluctant to believe this excuse, he could only nod, accepting it for now.

"I see. Then what is this Divine Ability called?"

"Fire Pupil Technique!"

Zhao Changsheng blurted out.

But as soon as he spoke, he regretted it a bit because he possessed a Wood Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root; Cultivating a fire-attribute Divine Ability was indeed a bit strange.

However, it wasn't unheard of in the Cultivation World, so it was merely a bit odd.

"Fire Pupil Technique? Why has this old man never heard of such a Divine Ability?"

Li Huayuan's brow furrowed slightly as he questioned further.

"This was created by me and is not yet perfected. I have only just reached the entry level, so it's natural that Junior Martial Uncle hasn't heard of it."

Zhao Changsheng found another excuse.

"So that's how it is."

Li Huayuan didn't quite believe Zhao Changsheng's explanation either, but he still spoke.

"It so happens that this old man also possesses the Three Yang Physique. If you don't mind, I am willing to exchange other Cultivation Techniques or secret arts with you, Martial Nephew. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Please forgive me, Junior Martial Uncle. The Divine Ability is not yet perfected, so how would I dare to exchange it with you? Let's forget about this exchange."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changsheng's expression instantly changed, and he then spoke to politely decline.

"Very well, it seems this old man has no such luck."

Li Huayuan said with great regret after hearing Zhao Changsheng's refusal.

In response, Zhao Changsheng could only bow slightly again to express his apologies and said no more.

As long as Nangong Wan didn't enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, the probability of Han Li obtaining the golden treasure chest could be said to have greatly increased.

It was almost beyond doubt; currently, among all the Disciples entering the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, except for Xiang Zhili at the Soul Transformation Stage, no one else could possibly be Han Li's opponent.

So, naturally, there was no need to worry too much. As for that large Black Ink Flood Dragon, with so many Puppets, he would definitely be able to handle it.

Zhao Changsheng had sufficient confidence in this point. Although the voice transmission between the two was extremely discreet, it was still noticed by Nangong Wan, who had been paying attention to Li Huayuan.

Immediately afterward, she fixed her gaze on Zhao Changsheng.

Although she hadn't overheard the specific content of their conversation, she was basically certain it had something to do with her.

It wasn't that Nangong Wan was narcissistic, but rather intuition!

So Nangong Wan fixed her gaze on Zhao Changsheng and also sent a voice transmission.

"How did you recognize me?"

As soon as this voice appeared, Zhao Changsheng immediately investigated the speaker. Then, he fixed his gaze on Nangong Wan, pretending to be confused and shocked as he said:

"Who are you? Why are you sending me a voice transmission? Aren't you afraid other Senior Elders will hear?"

Zhao Changsheng's confused words made even Nangong Wan doubt whether her intuition was wrong.

"Don't put on an act. You must have been the one to tell Fellow Daoist Li about my current Reincarnation Period. It couldn't be anyone else, and I heard what you two just said. Therefore, you don't need to be secretive here; there's no need."

Nangong Wan continued to probe.

"Are you misunderstanding something? Just now, what I was discussing with Martial Uncle Li was the matter of becoming Dao Companions with his Disciple. Just now, Martial Uncle Li hoped I would become Dao Companions with a female Disciple under him, but I said I needed to consider it. Over these years, there have been far too many female Disciples wanting to become my Dao Companion, all eyeing my potential to successfully Form the Golden Core."

"Under these circumstances, I naturally wouldn't dare to agree rashly. Especially since this matter still requires the Revered Master's consent. If the Revered Master doesn't agree, my agreement alone is completely useless. Don't you understand?"

"Wait, you're not trying to use this method to attract my attention and then want to become my Dao Companion, are you?"

"That won't do. We aren't from the same School; it's absolutely impossible."

Zhao Changsheng expressed himself with feigned narcissism.

His words caused Nangong Wan's cheeks to flush with shame, though it was mostly indignation.

She felt as if she were being teased, and by a junior at that. This feeling made her both angry and resentful, yet there was also an inexplicable emotion, a tingling sensation.

"Don't talk nonsense. In any case, since it wasn't you, then don't say anything more in the future."

At this point, Nangong Wan also dismissed her suspicion of Zhao Changsheng.

However, she was quite curious about who it was. Could it really be that Li Huayuan saw through it on his own?

Based on her understanding of Li Huayuan, he shouldn't have that ability.

So, Nangong Wan continued to look for suspicious targets, but searching high and low, she found no one more suspicious than Zhao Changsheng.

This inevitably caused all her suspicious thoughts and gaze to fall back onto Zhao Changsheng.

Seeing himself being targeted by Nangong Wan again, Zhao Changsheng was somewhat helpless and felt quite panicked in his heart.

He was terrified that Nangong Wan would determine it was indeed him behind it.

If that were the case, it would be disastrous. He didn't think he had the same luck as Han Li; being targeted by a Core Formation Stage Cultivator was dangerous.

It could very well be a fatal danger. Although this applied to other Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, for him, the danger wasn't actually that great.

But it was a hassle after all!

This kind of thing was what he was most unwilling to encounter.

"Why do you keep staring at me? Although I am very handsome, and although I am also elegant and dashing, the two of us really aren't a good match. Setting aside the difference in our Realms, just the difference in our statuses won't work. I also couldn't possibly marry a Qi Refining Stage Disciple. Don't you agree? So stop staring at me, because it's pointless."

Zhao Changsheng continued to speak narcissistically.

Of course, everything he said was just an excuse, only wanting to fool Nangong Wan into leaving.

However, he didn't expect that even after saying so much, Nangong Wan had no intention of leaving.

This inevitably gave him a splitting headache.

After all, being targeted by a Core Formation Cultivator was not a good thing.

At least for him, it wasn't a good thing.
