Chapter 64 Every dog has its day
The Black Tortoise Sect Master looked at his disciple’s expression and could not help but be somewhat puzzled.
“Zimo, what are you looking at?”
Qin Zimo pointed at Lu Xiaoran’s picture and said,
“Master, why is this person ranked 32nd?” The Black Tortoise Sect Master frowned. “Is he very powerful?” “Very powerful!” Qin Zimo replied with a solemn expression. “You… know him?”
“That’s right. To be honest, Master, he’s my benefactor.”
“Oh?”
“He was the one who saved me from the hands of the demon cultivators and allowed me to survive. However, after he saved me, he hurriedly chased me away. I think his sect has also been ambushed previously, so they got separated from the sect. After saving me, he hurriedly came to participate in the array formation meeting.”
“I see. However, what has this got to do with his results? It was a fair competition.”
“He…”
Qin Zimo was about to say something when he recalled that without Lu Xiaoran’s permission, wouldn’t he be very unhappy if she revealed his array formation strength like this?
Thinking of this, she immediately changed her words.
“I was only lucky to have seen him use an array formation and know his strength.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Qin Zimo nodded with a serious expression.
“Although I don’t know why he wants to hide his array formation strength, his attainments in array formations are definitely not limited to this.”
“Since you say so, I really want to see how good he is.”
After saying this, the Black Tortoise Sect Master immediately ordered people to bring Lu Xiaoran’s array formation over.
When he first saw the array formation, he was also somewhat puzzled. This array formation was ordinary and was not special at all!
However, after taking a few more glances, he had an abnormal feeling. The contempt on his face gradually disappeared and gradually became solemn.
As the saying went, an expert could easily tell the difference.
There was naturally no need to mention the Black Tortoise Sect Master’s attainments in array formations. After all, the Black Tortoise True Sect mainly focused on array formations. If he lacked attainments in array formations and only relied on his cultivation, it was definitely impossible for him to be the sect master.
His array formation strength could be said to be top-notch in the entire Great Zhou.
Therefore, array masters at his level naturally saw different things.
Top-notch array masters all had their own spirit when setting up array formations. Just like a calligrapher, no matter how much they wanted to put on an act and deliberately not show their best strength, they could not hide the writing habits and feelings that had already been engraved into their bones over the years.
Lu Xiaoran’s array formation was also the same.
His attainments in the path of array formations were really too outstanding. As a result, even if he deliberately suppressed his strength to create mediocre array formation, there was still an aura that could not be hidden. It was a unique aura that belonged to a top-notch array master.
It was even to the extent that he was so outstanding even when he faked it. As a result, if not for his disciple’s reminder and taking a few more glances, a super high-level array master like the Black Tortoise Sect’s sect master would definitely not be able to tell anything.
Rubbing his eyebrows, the Black Tortoise Sect Master was shocked and fearful.
“Looks like this brat is really hiding. If not for my strength, I’m afraid even I wouldn’t be able to sense anything.”
“Originally, I thought that Xiao Bei was already a rare genius in the Great Zhou for the past few hundred years. However, compared to this Lu Xiaoran, Xiao Bei is simply not enough. It can even be said that even Xiao Bei might not be able to compare to him. His attainments in array formations might even be worthy of this in the entire Great Zhou.”
As he spoke, the Black Tortoise Sect Master raised his thumb.
The corner of Qin Zimo’s mouth curled up slightly and her face was slightly red. She was in a very happy mood as if she was the one being praised.
However, she still deliberately pretended to not know and asked,
“Master, is it that exaggerated?”
The Black Tortoise Sect Master shook his head.
“It’s really not an exaggeration. Even I almost couldn’t tell that he faked his array formation skills. Isn’t such strength above mine? And how many people in the entire Great Zhou have attainments in array formations that surpass mine?”
Lu Xiaoran’s attainments in array formations should be the number one in the Great Zhou Empire.
After being repeatedly confirmed by her master, Qin Zimo was even more happy. However, she did not forget to remind him.
“However, Master, he probably doesn’t want others to know his attainments in array formations. You must not tell anyone. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you.”
The Black Tortoise Sect Master was slightly stunned when he heard his precious disciple’s tone. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Girl, you think so highly of him. Could it be that you’ve fallen for him?”
“Ah?”
Qin Zimo’s face instantly turned red as she shook her head repeatedly.
“Master, don’t talk nonsense. I… I just wanted to repay him for saving my life.”
“Oh, I see.”
The Black Tortoise Sect Master felt bitter. Looking at his precious disciple’s expression, how could it be just repayment for saving her life?
Sigh, girls should not be kept when they were older.
Qin Zimo was somewhat guilty and did not dare to look into her master’s eyes. It was naturally unrealistic to say that she did not like Lu Xiaoran.
This was because to her, Lu Xiaoran was not only a hero who saved her, but he was also an extremely powerful genius in array formations.
Just like how men liked beautiful women, women also liked powerful men.
This was a principle that had never changed.
The Black Tortoise Sect Master continued, “However, this child is a top-grade array formation genius. Even though such a figure is unknown now, his name will sooner or later shake the world. You still have to befriend him well. It has to be known that the wheel of fortune changes. Don’t bully a poor youth.”
“Hiss, the wheel of fortune turns. Don’t bully the poor! Master, what you said is very meaningful.”
The Black Tortoise Sect Master shook his head and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“These aren’t my words. I just borrowed it.”
“It’s said that this is the princess of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace, Ji Wuxia. When she was living among the commoners, she was once engaged to a man. At that time, Ji Wuxia had been found by the Imperial Palace. The difference in their identities was like the difference between the heavens and the earth. The Imperial Palace naturally could not let her continue the engagement, so they chose to give her a heavy gift and ask her to cancel the engagement.
In the end, the youth felt that he had been humiliated and shouted angrily.
Later, in a short three years, he really defeated Ji Wuxia and became famous. This saying has also spread widely. Many young people like to refer to it as their motto.”
“Hiss, I see.”
At this moment, a bell sounded from afar. The awards ceremony was about to begin.
Qin Zimo immediately said, “Master, I’ll go and change first. The ceremony is about to begin.” “Yeah, go on.”
