The sun sets in the west and the moon rises above the willow branches.
Yuquan Mountain, halfway up the mountain.
When Xi'e arrived, Zhao Yuding was not fishing, but was sitting by the lake, playing chess with his second disciple Liang Yu.
"Mr. Huaizhu." Seeing Xi'e arriving, Liang Yu stood up quickly and shouted respectfully.
"My name is Xi'e now." Xi'e smiled.
Liang Yu blinked and immediately changed his words: "Mr. Xi'e."
Xi'e glanced at Zhao Yuding, who had his back turned to her, and said sarcastically: "Now, your wish has come true."
Zhao Yuding was startled, holding a black piece, dropped it on the chessboard, and asked calmly: "What do you mean?"
"Jiang Zuo's conspiracy was shattered." Xi'e said calmly, "His descendants were scared away by your first test."
"Scared away?" Liang Yu opened her eyes wide.
Zhao Yuding stared at the chessboard. It was clear that the situation was great and he was about to kill the second disciple Liang Yu's dragon, but in his heart, he felt a little depressed inexplicably.
"You already know that in the body-tempering realm, he can knock away Xiao Yuanba with one punch. There are some things that you may not know." Xi'e stared at Zhao Yuding's back and spoke calmly, "In the battle at Taihu Lake, Fairy Yu Heng, the female leader of the Dao Sect Tianzong, took action because of him;
Wu Jian was very optimistic about him;
Your senior brother Wu Qi probably wants to accept him as his grandson-in-law. "
"..."
Zhao Yuding was silent.
Liang Yu held his breath, glanced at his master Zhao Yuding, and then at Xi'e, suddenly feeling a little guilty.
"Isn't this self-defeating?" Liang Yufan muttered.
"You can just doubt the other people's origins. He is the descendant of Jiang Zuo. This is known to everyone in the world. Do you still doubt it?" Xi'e shook her head and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhao Yuding spoke.
Xi'e paused and looked sideways at Zhao Yuding.
Zhao Yuding said helplessly: "The Yuquan Spiritual Mirror is not that magical and cannot see through it."
"Can't you see through the past?" Xi'e was startled.
Liang Yu couldn't help but open her eyes wide. This was not what the master said last night.
"Then what is the function of this spiritual mirror?" Xi'e asked.
Zhao Yuding said: "Illuminate the illusion."
"Talk like a human being." Xi'e was annoyed.
Zhao Yuding paused and said, "You can understand that anyone standing in front of the spiritual mirror is equivalent to being naked."
"That's it?" Xi'e frowned.
Zhao Yuding added: "If it is a demon, it can reveal its true form."
"Then you shouldn't call this a spiritual mirror, but a demon mirror." Xi'e complained.
Zhao Yuding said in a muffled voice: "The magical functions of the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror naturally don't stop there. Anyway, it just can't shine through."
"In that case..." Xi'e said, she realized what was happening, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at Zhao Yuding, "Do you want me to persuade him to come back?"
"Since Senior Sister Xi'e has this plan, then I'll trouble Senior Sister Xi'e." Zhao Yuding said with a smile.
"Don't call me Senior Sister, I haven't entered the Golden Scale Sect." Xi'e hummed softly and said thoughtfully, "I can try, but there is no guarantee that I can persuade him to come back."
"Senior Sister Xi'e is so humble." Zhao Yuding smiled and complimented, "There is nothing in this world that you can't do, Senior Sister Xi'e."
"Let me ask you again, are you sure the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror can't see through it?" Xi'e stared at Zhao Yuding.
Zhao Yuding nodded slightly.
Xi'e didn't ask any more questions, and her figure disappeared in an instant.
"Master..." Liang Yu looked at Zhao Yuding longingly.
Zhao Yuding hummed softly and said: "That boy is the same as Jiang Zuo. I don't know how many shady secrets he hides."
"Who is the junior brother you really like?" Liang Yu was curious and when asking, he casually dropped a piece on the chessboard.
"We can't talk about it." Zhao Yuding continued to make moves, and said with a calm face, "After all, he has something to do with my Golden Scale Sect, so I'll just give him a chance."
"Duplicity." Liang Yu slandered and asked curiously, "Master, when you mentioned the spiritual mirror before, did you say that the spiritual mirror can trace the past?"
"That requires truly refining the spirit mirror." Zhao Yuding explained, "No one in this world can refine the spirit mirror except the founder of our Golden Scale Sect.
In the past dynasties, spiritual mirrors were basically used only as demon mirrors. "
"That's it." Liang Yu understood and smiled, "I'm quite curious, what secret does Li Su hide? Would he rather give up our Golden Scale Sect than reveal anything?"
"Secret..." Zhao Yuding stared at the chessboard, suddenly raised his head, looked at Liang Yu, and asked thoughtfully, "If it were you, would you be willing to take part in the Golden Scale Sect's assessment, knowing that the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror can see through it?"
"Me?" Liang Yu thought for a while and hesitated for a moment.
Zhao Yuding asked again: "If someone tells you that the spiritual mirror can only see through your body, but not the past, are you willing to believe it?"
"Well..." Liang Yu's heart beat a little faster, and her cheeks turned slightly red, "Then I'm even less willing to take part in this assessment."
Zhao Yuding was startled, and suddenly realized the identity of his disciple.
"Do you think he will believe Xi'e?" Zhao Yuding whispered, as if he was asking Liang Yu, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Liang Yu blinked, thought for a while, and replied seriously: "If it were me, I wouldn't believe it; I would just think that Mr. Xi'e wants to trick me into going back and spy on me..."
Before he finished speaking, Liang Yu was stunned.
Master Zhao Yuding has disappeared before his eyes.
"Master, this is..." A flash of surprise flashed in Liang Yu's eyes.
Outside Yuquan Mountain.
Li Su looked at the high priest Yuekui next to him, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
His original plan was to leave Yuquan Mountain as quickly as possible... He had not forgotten that there were three Daqian princes in Yuquan Mountain who wanted to skin him.
Coupled with his bounty of up to 300,000 yuan, in this case, the faster the escape, the better.
However, High Priest Yuekui seemed to have other ideas. He kept walking slowly and had no intention of leaving quickly at night.
"Are you expecting Xi'e to chase us?" Li Su leaned next to Yuekui and asked in a low voice.
When asked, neither of them stopped.
Yuekui's eyes were a little wandering, but he finally answered truthfully: "She will probably come after her. If Zhao Yuding really wants to accept you as his disciple, he might open a back door for you."
"That's not important anymore." Li Su said softly, "Since I have decided to give up taking the assessment, I have no plans to join the Golden Scale Sect.
To be honest, in the battle of Taihu, when I saw the battle between Wu Jian and Lao Zuo, I didn’t have high hopes for the Golden Scale Sect.
My strength is still very weak and I cannot see through their level of fighting.
But I can feel something...Wu Jian, who is not a disciple of the Golden Scale Sect, has an invincible heart.
Moreover, defeating the disciples of the Golden Scale Sect should be one of his motivations.
The small goal I set for myself is to defeat Wu Jian.
It is difficult to achieve this small goal by joining the Golden Scale Sect. "
"Jiang Zuo cannot represent the Golden Scale Sect." Yuekui said in a dull voice, "He is just an abandoned disciple."
"Is Xiangxiu also an abandoned disciple?" Li Su teased.
Yuekui said: "Xiangxiu is a talisman master and is not good at fighting."
"What about Zhao Yuding? Do you think Zhao Yuding can defeat Wu Jian?" Li Su glanced sideways at Yuekui.
Yue Kui frowned, not knowing how to refute.
"The inheritance of the Golden Scale Sect can give you the strength to fight Wu Jian before you are thirty years old." A familiar clear voice came from behind the two of them.
Xi'e has arrived.
Yue Kui's eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Su frowned imperceptibly and cursed "trouble" secretly.
He knew that when Xi'e came here, she must have the confidence to convince Yue Kui.
