478: Chapter 478: A Miscalculation?

"Baldy, if you have something to say, say it, but don't go cursing me."

"My Legacy includes a Profanity Perception. Your Mortal body can't react to my attacks, but I can certainly react to your profanity."

Looking at the inhuman Long Tianxing before him, Lv Yang didn't know what to say anymore.

He had no cultivation and couldn't beat him. Fine. He had even abandoned his grace and wanted to curse him out to vent his frustration, but the other guy actually had some god-forsaken Profanity Perception.

Faced with such an air-tight rogue, Lv Yang was truly at his wit's end.

Long Tianxing watched the resentful Lv Yang, knowing that the atmosphere had been sufficiently built up.

According to the techniques provided by his cheap Master, he should use the 'Broken Window Effect' to apply mental pressure first, then downgrade his demands later. The other party would most likely agree then.

He hadn't expected this Buddha Son's psychological resilience to be so good. After pestering him for so many days, his emotions were only just becoming unstable. But in the end, it was my victory!

Watching Lv Yang's state, the corners of Long Tianxing's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile.

"Lv Yang, I won't make things difficult for you."

The moment he spoke, Long Tianxing's Profanity Perception rang out fiercely, though not violently.

This indicated that Lv Yang was cursing him in his heart.

However, Long Tianxing didn't care. On the contrary, it showed that things would proceed smoothly.

"How about this: you answer three questions for me. If you can answer them, I'll leave immediately. Otherwise, you hand over the things you prepared for Zhou Yan to me."

Lv Yang let out a long sigh, finally admitting defeat.

"Sigh, ask then."

He had realized that if this matter didn't reach a conclusion, the other party would never stop. And being too involved with a Child of Destiny was definitely not a good thing for him.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Long Tianxing tossed aside the chopsticks in his hand and stared straight at Lv Yang.

"I've long heard that there's an eccentric in Tingxue Zen Monastery named Lv Yang."

"Possessing Innate early wisdom, he can read people and foresee the future. Yet, he has no path to cultivation. Possessing a Treasure Artifact is thus a curse rather than a blessing."

"Therefore, the old Abbot of Tingxue Zen Monastery descended the mountain intending to take you as a Disciple. However, disasters occurred repeatedly during the initiation, seemingly a sign from heaven. Thus, he changed it to taking you as a Named Disciple, not recorded in the official registers."

"Later, as a Named Disciple, you intervened many times. With your method of foreseeing the future, you saved the world and resolved calamities. Because of your various early performances, you were called 'Miraculous'."

"And busybodies also dubbed you the Buddha Son."

Lv Yang's eye twitched. Seeing the other party holding a copy of 'The Biography of Junior Brother Lu Yang' and looking as if he intended to continue, he could only tap the table and speak.

"If the benefactor has something to say, speak plainly. Who reads from a cheat sheet right in front of the person?"

"Besides, those who came looking for me in the past at least did their homework beforehand. Benefactor, you can't have come purely to find trouble, can you?"

Hearing Lv Yang say this, Long Tianxing could only cough twice and put away 'The Biography of Junior Brother Lu Yang'.

"I've been busy lately and didn't have time to read it. I just knew you could predict the future."

"And don't you think starting like that gives it a sense of story?"

Lv Yang was about to curse when his eyes suddenly widened, revealing those deep black pupils.

"Sigh," Lv Yang sighed again, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of hot water.

"Truly pervasive. Even though this poor monk has admitted defeat, is the benefactor still not at ease?"

Seeing his Divine Ability discovered as soon as it invaded, Long Tianxing also frowned.

It was true that he wanted to ask for information from Lv Yang's mouth, but if possible, he would rather see it for himself.

So he had just used a contrast method, attempting to break through the other's defenses and find an Opportunity to use a deception Divine Ability to extract his memories. He hadn't expected it to fail so easily.

"You really surprise me. You clearly look like a Mortal in every way—at most a slightly frail Mortal—so how can you so easily see through a Divine Ability of mine, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?"

Lv Yang could no longer remember how many times he had sighed. He could only grit his teeth and say word by word.

"Are you going to ask or not?"

Long Tianxing didn't delay any further and spoke directly.

"Where is Zhou Yan?"

"Anytime."

"Where is Ma Hao?"

"This moment."

"Two questions have been asked. Benefactor has one last question left."

Hearing this, Long Tianxing's mind became a mess.

He could feel that the other party wasn't lying, but he could also feel that the other party intentionally didn't want him to know, hence the vague answers.

At the same time, he had a sensation that after those two sentences were spoken, his connection with Tingxue Zen Monastery seemed to have faded.

It wasn't a connection based on social relations—after all, in terms of social relations, he had ruined them on the very first day he arrived, and now the whole mountain was putting out a bounty on him.

The connection Long Tianxing felt was his link with the place called Tingxue Zen Monastery, which began to fade after those two questions.

This feeling was very familiar, yet somewhat different.

He remembered; it was the connection with Opportunity.

Long Tianxing suddenly realized how similar this was to when he faced an Opportunity.

The closer he was to an Opportunity, the stronger his connection with it usually was, which allowed him to obtain it more easily.

But now, as this feeling faded, the effect would be the exact opposite.

If his previous attempts to sneak in were aided by heaven, he was certain that once he heard the final answer, it would be troublesome for him to enter again.

"Anytime, this moment."

Long Tianxing repeated them in his heart, his Divine Sense frantically beginning to deduce.

The Elders said Zhou Yan wasn't dead, and this guy's prophecy didn't say he was in the underworld, only 'anytime'.

Could it be inferred that Zhou Yan died but has already entered Reincarnation?

Soon, a premonition came to Long Tianxing: he had guessed wrong, and his Luck decreased by a small margin.

He hasn't entered Reincarnation, so he's still alive. He didn't die at all; he just went to a place I cannot reach.

His Luck decreased by another small margin; this time he had calculated correctly.

Ma Hao is Feng Xu's Disciple, and his fame comes from the Law of Time. Both of their answers are so strange, and both have vanished without a trace.

Doesn't that mean the disappearance of those two is related to time? Coupled with the answer I just deduced...

In just a moment, Long Tianxing had analyzed the gist of Lv Yang's words, and his answer was nearly spot on.

But he still feigned anger and said,

"You call that an answer?"

Just as Lv Yang was about to speak, Long Tianxing reached out to interrupt him.

"No matter how you explain it, for the third one, you must perform a real-time deduction for me. Use your prophecy or whatever method you want, but at least let me see the process so I can be sure your words are true."

"Otherwise, I won't leave. No matter how troublesome it is, I will come back in again."

Lv Yang was so angry he laughed.

"Fine, fine, fine. Since you've put it that way, I'll let the benefactor give up. I will perform the process right in front of you. You ask whenever you want, and I will deduce whenever you want."

"And after I give you the answer, I hope the benefactor can keep his promise and stop being so troublesome."

Actually, the reason Lv Yang was so confident was because he already knew what Long Tianxing wanted to ask.

Long Tianxing's next question would be nothing more than using another name or nickname for Zhou Yan and asking where he was again.

Except he would demand a more precise answer beforehand.

He admitted he had mostly been stalling Long Tianxing earlier and giving the previous results, but he hadn't lied; his words were true.

Even if he performed the deduction again in front of him, the result would be the same as before—or if he was lucky and Zhou Yan had returned, he could just tell him exactly where Zhou Yan was.

The reason he acted angry was also to have a good excuse to kick the guy out for good.

After all, the relationship between the two of them wasn't supposed to be established at this time. Once this was done, everything could return to the right track.

"Then Great Master, please begin your preparations. I am about to state my question."

As Long Tianxing finished speaking, he saw Lv Yang's eyes widen. His pupils turned into white light, swirling like a blooming white lotus.

"Where is the Ancestral Dragon's real-time location right now?"

"You... *bleh*, you're freaking... sick in the head!"

Lv Yang was just about to answer that Zhou Yan had arrived in the Desire Realm when he suddenly heard a formidable name.

He vomited a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot, his vision blurred, and he fainted.

Before losing consciousness, he was still thinking:

Weren't you going to ask about Zhou Yan again? Where did that name come from? Did I calculate wrong?

In fact, what Lv Yang didn't know was that his calculation was indeed correct. It was just that from Long Tianxing's perspective, the Ancestral Dragon and Zhou Yan were always synonymous, so he used the name Ancestral Dragon instead.

And the reason he called him that was because he knew Lv Yang's deductions were very accurate, so he intended to play a trick on him.

Lv Yang collapsed, and Long Tianxing caught him in time, quickly stuffing a Medicinal Pill into his mouth.

"Damn, a Mortal body can't absorb it directly. I need to find some water to dissolve it... *bleh*."

"Cough, cough, this, it... it seems there's no need anymore."

Long Tianxing had intended to go to the lakeside to get a bowl of water for Lv Yang, but due to the backlash from that name, he couldn't hold it in and vomited a mouthful of blood, which happened to land right in Lv Yang's mouth.

Because of that blood, the Medicinal Pill was dissolved and began to heal Lv Yang's body.

And this scene was seen clearly by Lu Ren by the lake.

Because Lv Yang's back was to him, he didn't see Lv Yang vomiting blood, but he saw what followed.

So in his eyes, Lv Yang suddenly fainted for some reason, and Long Tianxing suddenly hugged him, vomited blood into his mouth, then started fumbling around in his robes, took something, and left.

"This is a disaster!"

"Someone come quickly!"

"The Saint Monk has been... been defiled by a villain!"
