The Sun was hanging high in the sky. It was noon.
Before the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon, Yu Wu Xiu's eyes were brightening. She stared at the man before her the same way she would stare at a rare treasure.
However, although she had evil thoughts, she still looked as gentle as water on the surface, natural and unrestrained.
Ling Xian was also faking it. He tried his best to look like he didn't know anything about the world. However, his heart was as cold as ice. He had seen through Yu Wu Xiu.
He knew very well that the woman before him was not as gentle and kind as she appeared to be. Her heart was very cruel and ruthless. She only had one goal in her mind.
That was to step onto the peak and rule over the world.
To achieve this goal, she was willing to pay any price and use any method she could.
The Ling Xian inside the Hidden Territory had become her stepping stone, a sacrifice for her to climb to the peak.
"After hearing about my talent, you are a little tempted?" Ling Xian silently snickered. The reason why he didn't care and tried to break the array was because of this.
After all, his real cultivation level could not be exposed. Therefore, he could only show off his natural talent with arrays.
Now that Yu Wu Xiu was tempted, he couldn't help but to smile. There was some sadness, but also happiness.
What was sad was that this woman was once again treating him as a sacrifice. What was happy was that if this woman really uses that treasure on him, then not only will his inner demons be resolved, but he will also no longer have any feelings for Yu Wu Xiu.
"What a rare genius with arrays. When I first saw your high level of knowledge, I thought you were a descendant of some grandmaster."
Yu Wu Xiu smiled gently. Like a spring breeze, coupled with her extremely beautiful face, she had an indescribable lethality.
Most men would be lost in her gentleness and find it hard to extricate themselves.
Luckily, Ling Xian had seen through her. Though he acted like he was in a trance, he was actually more awake than ever.
"You are flattering me. I am merely a pupil who just entered the Path of Crafts." Ling Xian brandished his hand.
"The Path of Crafts?"
Yu Wu Xiu was surprised and smiled, "Interesting. A monster with unparalleled talent in arrays is going to the Path of Crafts. Could it be that your talent in crafts is stronger than your talent in arrays?"
Ling Xian flashed an embarrassed smile and mumbled, "I don't know if I'm more talented than arrays, but I became a Ninth Realm Craftsman overnight."
"In one night?"
Yu Wu Xiu was stunned. Even with her experience and mentality, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
Originally, she was merely asking because she didn't think Ling Xian's talent with crafts would be better than arrays. But now, she was a little shaken. To reach the ninth realm in one night, how talented did one have to be to achieve that?
Even if it couldn't be said that it surpassed his talent in the Array Dao, it wasn't too far off!
This made her eyes brighten. She was getting more and more "attracted" to Ling Xian.
"As expected, a woman who only cares about talent."
Ling Xian's lips curled up into a cold smile. His heart was getting colder and colder.
The reason why he told her about how he reached the ninth realm in one night wasn't to show off, it was to increase his bargaining chip and lure Yu Wu Xiu into his trap.
It seemed like he made the right decision. This woman was getting more and more interested in him.
"I cannot believe such an interesting young man would come to the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon."
Yu Wu Xiu played with the hair in front of her forehead. She was extremely flirtatious and beautiful. Looking at Ling Xian, she softly smiled, "A Heaven's Favorite of the tenth level with extraordinary talent in arrays and crafts. You are truly someone I have never seen in my life."
"You are flattering me. I have never seen someone as beautiful as you." Ling Xian smiled and complimented.
Reality was that Yu Wu Xiu was very beautiful. Beautiful to the point of being tragic. Out of all the women he's met, only a few could compare to her.
"Young man, you sure know how to talk."
Yu Wu Xiu softly smiled and walked towards the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon in light steps.
"Come in with me. I have something to talk to you about."
Hearing this, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile and walked into the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon.
After he walked into the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon, his eyes flashed with sadness. The stubbornness in his heart felt like it was going to explode.
Fortunately, he calmed his mind in time and suppressed the restless inner demon.
"A familiar place, familiar people. But this time, it's a battle of wits and schemes against each other."
Silently sighing, Ling Xian followed Yu Wu Xiu to the top floor and studied the familiar layout of the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon.
It was exactly the same as the one in the Hidden Territory. The only difference was that there was less warmth and more coldness.
"The inner demon has formed. No matter what, I have to get rid of it. In other words, this time, I have to end things with this woman. "
Sighing softly, Ling Xian's expression turned determined as he arrived at the top floor with Yu Wu Xiu.
"Come sit."
Yu Wu Xiu smiled. She waved her hand around and two white jade cups appeared on the table. Then, a green bamboo leaf fell into the cups. Finally, spiritual water was formed and emitted a heavy aroma.
"Young fella, try the bamboo tea."
Smiling warmly, Yu Wu Xiu picked up the cup and sipped.
Seeing this, Ling Xian sipped on the tea and complimented, "Good tea."
"As long as you like it." Yu Wu Xiu had a faint smile on her lips as she stared at the man before her with admiration.
It was obvious that she was tempted.
At such a young age, his array skills were comparable to grandmasters. This alone was enough to prove his natural talent. On top of that, he was of the tenth level of Qi, which meant he was extremely talented. On top of that, he leveled up nine realms in one night. Why wouldn't she be tempted?
"This person's natural talent isn't bad. Whether it's his talent in cultivation or his talent in professions, they are all good. All in all, he is a suitable candidate. "
Thinking to herself, Yu Wu Xiu had the thought of taking away Ling Xian's talent. However, the treasure could only be used once, so she had to be cautious.
"I should test him first. After all, his cultivation level is low and he cannot escape from my palm."
Yu Wu Xiu smiled confidently and thought to herself, "But, how should I test him?"
As she thought about it, she suddenly remembered the difficult problem the Shang Qing Sect faced a few days ago and had an idea.
Though she had witnessed Ling Xian's terrifying array skills, she only had one chance to use the treasure. She had to be cautious, cautious, and cautious. Therefore, she decided to test Ling Xian's array skills first.
"My name is Yu Wu Xiu. What is your name?" Yu Wu Xiu smiled gently.
"Good name."
After complimenting, Ling Xian softly grinned, "My name is Xian Ling."
"This name is a little familiar." Yu Wu Xiu frowned, feeling like she's heard this name before.
Ever since Ling Xian rejected the four peak leaders and chose the Path of Crafts, his story had circulated around the Shang Qing Sect's management. It wasn't that this story was shocking, it was that this story was far too strange.
What did it mean to have royal leveled talent? It meant he had the dream of becoming a Heaven's Favorite and could walk further on the path of cultivation.
Yet, a Heaven's Favorite with such a bright future rejected the four peak leaders and chose a profession. How unbelievable was this?
Calling him an idiot was a nice thing to hear.
Therefore, the moment he rejected the four peak leaders, this news, as if it grew wings, began to circulate around the Shang Qing Sect's management.
As the descendant of the Shang Qing Sect's founder, Yu Wu Xiu naturally heard this news as well. However, she merely laughed it off and didn't think much of it.
Now that she heard the name "Xian Ling" again, she felt a sense of familiarity.
After some time, she remembered the news about Ling Xian. Her eyes brightened a little. It wasn't because what he did was far too strange, it was because of his talent.
Royal leveled.
This level was already considered outstanding and far surpassed most people. It was considered one in a hundred thousand talented people.
Therefore, Yu Wu Xiu's smile deepened, "Xian Ling, you have surprised me again."
"You are flattering me. I am merely a mortal."
Ling Xian's smile deepened as well. To Yu Wu Xiu, this was a sign of happiness.
Reality was, this was a sign of happiness. However, the reason he was happy wasn't because he received her compliments, it was because he made her more and more interested.
Even so, Ling Xian's heart ached and he felt sad. However, he would rather Yu Wu Xiu scheme against him again. That way, he could completely let go.
"Actually, I called you in because I have a favor to ask of you."
Yu Wu Xiu smiled brightly, "A few days ago, the Shang Qing Sect's protective array had some problems. The array masters in the Sect were helpless, so there hasn't been much progress."
"The protective array had some problems?"
Ling Xian frowned, "You mean, you want me to solve those arrays?"
"Smart."
Yu Wu Xiu softly grinned, "I have observed your speed while breaking through the arrays. You have done it with ease, so I want you to try."
"You think too highly of me. So many array masters in the Shang Qing Sect can't solve them, how can I?" Ling Xian shook his head and didn't agree to this.
He knew very well how difficult the Shang Qing Sect's protective array was. He also knew that there was an array master in the Sect. Therefore, he didn't think he had the ability to fix the heavenly array.
"There is a saying, 'Brainstorming'. Your array skills are not weak. Perhaps you can provide me with some ideas." Yu Wu Xiu smiled brightly, "Go and try. It doesn't matter if you fail. But if you succeed, you will be a hero to the Shang Qing Sect."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned and thought about this.
Just like Yu Wu Xiu had said, there was no downside to this. At most, he would have wasted a trip. But if he succeeds, then his gain would be shocking.
Not only would he become a hero to the Shang Qing Sect, but he would also be highly regarded by the higher-ups.
More importantly, he could use this opportunity to tamper with the heavenly array to make it easier for him to escape.
Don't forget, he came to the Shang Qing Sect to steal fortunes. It was the same as pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. If he could turn the Mountain Guarding Grand Array into his own, wouldn't the possibility of him leaving safely increase by a little?
Thinking about it made Ling Xian's eyes brighter and brighter. He smiled, "That's a good idea. I will listen to you and try."
"That's good."
Yu Wu Xiu smiled brightly. She stood up and flew out of the Tower of Tomorrow's Moon.
"Let's go, I will take you there."
