Chen Chu really didn't want to talk to Lu Ping anymore. Not at all.
If Lu Ping was purposely trying to anger him, then he could argue and refute him. Chen Chu, who possessed Profound Insight, was very good at reading people's expressions and capturing their emotions. He didn't like arguing. But if he really got serious, he had never been afraid of anyone in the Seven Peaks of the Big Dipper. But he usually didn't do this. Using his rank five ability to argue would make him lose face, and he would have an unfair advantage.
But after meeting Lu Ping today, Chen Chu found that even if he used his rank five ability, it wouldn't be useful, and it would only make things difficult for him.
Because Lu Ping always spoke the truth. He didn't know Li Yaotian before, and had just heard that the Black Army Empire had a National Guard Academy. What could he do to him? Mock him for being ignorant and ignorant? Chen Chu was a hundred percent sure that if he said this, Lu Ping would say seriously, "Yes, yes, you are right!"
Yes, this kid was a person who respected the truth. No matter what happened to others, or to himself, he respected the truth.
This kind of person couldn't be argued with. In an argument, one had to find the other's weakness, and attack the other's sore spot. But Lu Ping respected the truth. If you found his weakness, he would tell you that you were right. With this kind of attitude, there naturally wouldn't be any pain.
Chen Chu was in so much pain that he stopped using his Profound Insight which only added to his troubles. He really didn't want to talk to Lu Ping anymore, but doing things without finishing made him feel even worse. As Li Yaotian's first disciple, his personality had been infused with a lot of Li Yaotian's seriousness. He couldn't tolerate sloppiness, no matter what.
"Cough." Chen Chu coughed to indicate that he was going to speak again.
Lu Ping looked at him. The Yu Heng student who had returned to bring him the message also looked at him. Chen Chu immediately felt even more irritated.
"Go, go, go, go to the side. It's none of your business! "He waved his hand and shooed the Yu Heng student away.
"Cough." Chen Chu coughed again.
"Are you going to speak or not?" Lu Ping asked.
Chen Chu took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Where were we?" he said, trying to keep his voice calm.
"Teacher Li Yaotian said that your control over your soul force needs to be improved. I think he's right." Lu Ping said.
"Before this!" Chen Chu, who had kept his cool, only lasted for a second. He broke down again. Lu Ping was too straightforward. He was too honest. This made Chen Chu realize that "before" wasn't very accurate, so he hurriedly interrupted Lu Ping.
"State Protector Academy. We'll stop here," Chen Chu said.
"Uh …"
"It's here!" Chen Chu emphasized.
Lu Ping nodded. He didn't argue with Chen Chu, but his eyes were clearly pointing out that Chen Chu's wording was not precise. Chen Chu could see it even without using Insight, so he decided to ignore it.
"The State Protector Academy is one of the best academies in the Xuan Army Empire. It is ranked in the top five on the Continent Academies Ranking Board. In the name of protecting the country. It was a base built by the Xuan Army Empire to send cultivators to the empire. So the students of the State Protector Academy are more loyal to the Xuan Army Empire than anything else. Those who will be recommended to the four great academies especially value this. As a wanted criminal of the Xuan Army Empire, they won't ignore you. Even if this is the North Style Academy. " Chen Chu's tone was steady, and his tone was the same. He said all this in one breath without any emotions. He didn't even look at Lu Ping during the whole process. Only until he finished did he say, "Do you understand?"
"Understood." Lu Ping nodded.
"Tell me your opinion." Chen Chu said so much, but he didn't want to hear a simple "understood" from Lu Ping.
Lu Ping looked at the newcomers that Chen Chu had circled with his finger. There were five of them, and said with a gratified tone, "Fighting five is much easier than fighting five hundred."
"You win," Chen Chu said in the end. Chen Chu left without looking back. After a while, he returned to the front of the team, behind Li Yaotian. His fellow sect mates were all snickering. Chen Chu glared at them helplessly. Li Yaotian, who was at the front, spoke. Everyone immediately retracted their smiles.
"Can't see his level?" Li Yaotian said.
"Yes." Chen Chu answered. In front of his teacher, he had already put away all his emotions.
"He has a custom made one." Li Yaotian said.
"Custom made?" Chen Chu stilled.
At the realm of Connected Four Spirits, abilities would become the main form of strength. Xiuzhe who had four Connected Realms could master all sorts of abilities. As the saying goes, don't bite off more than you can chew. Many practitioners would focus their attention on a certain type of superpower to increase their strength.
Tianheng Star's Li Yaotian specialized in custom-type abilities. His first disciple wasn't able to inherit his strong point. His final ability was perception. Chen Chu, who had "Clear Insight", couldn't sense anything on Lu Ping's body, but Li Yaotian did.
"What custom made?" Chen Chu asked. He wouldn't doubt his teacher's judgment. In terms of custom-type abilities, Li Yaotian was at the top of the continent. Apart from the most abnormal of the six Five Spirits experts, Leng Xiu, there wasn't anyone else. If Li Yaotian said he was second, there really wasn't anyone who could confidently say they were first.
But even so, facing Chen Chu's question, Li Yaotian shook his head. His face was filled with uncertainty.
His teacher wouldn't say anything without a definite conclusion. Chen Chu knew Li Yaotian's temper, so he didn't continue asking. Instead, he asked, "I can't sense his strength. Does it have anything to do with this custom made ability?"
Li Yaotian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He couldn't be sure about this. He could only faintly sense that Lu Ping's body had a custom-type law circulating. But it wasn't easy to determine what it was. It was because Li Yaotian had only detected it when Lu Ping had thrown his fist. It had only lasted for an instant, and it had disappeared. As for what kind of law it was, Li Yaotian was even more clueless than Chen Chu.
"Actually … if you want to know, ask him directly. That's probably the easiest way," Chen Chu suddenly said.
"Oh?" Li Yaotian didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on students. So when Chen Chu went to find Lu Ping, other than that high-pitched voice, he didn't deliberately listen in on the content. So he didn't know how honest Lu Ping was.
"I'll go ask." Chen Chu had just decided to ignore Lu Ping without turning his head. In just a short while, he ran back to Lu Ping's side, instantly attracting attention. Lu Ping was speechless as he looked at his eldest apprentice brother, who had left but had returned. What did he want this time?
"You have some kind of custom-type ability. Is it some custom-type ability?" Chen Chu went straight to the point.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"What is it?" Chen Chu was comforted. He realized that Lu Ping's personality had some redeeming qualities.
"I can't say." Lu Ping answered with certainty.
Chen Chu, who was feeling gratified and looking forward to an answer, heard this answer and his mood instantly worsened. Lu Ping was indeed very honest and straightforward. So he didn't hide anything and told him decisively: he couldn't say.
"Why?" He couldn't help but ask.
"It's not safe." Lu Ping said.
"Why?" Chen Chu still wanted to ask.
"To expose my identity." Lu Ping said.
"What identity are you?" Chen Chu still asked. As soon as he asked, he knew there wouldn't be any answer. People were afraid of exposing their identity. How could they say this hidden identity?
What identity was so terrifying? This kid actually didn't dare to say it. Killing the Institute's branch, killing the City Lord's Mansion, and being wanted by the Xuan Army Empire. He had never deliberately hidden or feared these identities. But this deeper identity, he was actually afraid and retreating?
No! No.
Chen Chu could see Lu Ping's expression clearly. He was retreating on this question. He was afraid, but it wasn't the kind of fear that Chen Chu thought. Lu Ping was worried, and he was extremely worried. He was flinching and afraid, but it wasn't for himself that he was afraid. It was for the others.
"Who are you thinking about?" Chen Chu suddenly asked.
Lu Ping was shocked. This senior apprentice brother was really amazing. He seemed to be able to see through other people's thoughts.
That's right, he was thinking about someone else. He was thinking about Su Tang.
In the past, he didn't intentionally hide that identity, and even exposed it a few times. Because he and Su Tang were together, no matter what the situation was, good or bad, hot or cold, they were together, supporting each other, going through life and death together.
But now that they were separated, he didn't know what situation Su Tang was in. Had she successfully entered the four academies that she should have entered? He only knew that their current situation might be different. The two of them wouldn't be able to face the danger of exposing their identity together. He couldn't bring such trouble to Su Tang. So he wouldn't say it. No matter what, he wouldn't say it.
He even decided to interact less with Chen Chu and talk less. This senior apprentice brother was really a little scary. He better not be seen through directly. Lu Ping thought.
