Xu Chen blamed everything on God and did not need to explain too much. The more he explained, the easier it would be to make mistakes.

"Is this what happened during practice? Disciple, if you tell this to the other disciples, they'll probably be furious."

Yu Qianrou's eyes became more joyful, and there was a hint of playfulness on the corners of her mouth. She asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Hidden? No?"

Xu Chen's body trembled, and he looked confused, as if he really had no idea what he was hiding from her.

"Think about it carefully. If I pointed it out, it would be different."

Yu Qianrou circled around Xu Chen, walking around him, as if sizing him up, and said, "I don't have much patience with people who hide things from me. I might do something cruel. I don't want this to happen."

Cruel things...

Of course Xu Chen knew what kind of person Yu Qianrou was. Three hundred years ago, she had tortured many demon cultivators. When demon cultivators saw her, they were as scared as ordinary people were when they saw demon cultivators.

Of course, he wouldn't say that he had concealed his identity now. Instead, he said with a puzzled look in his eyes, "No, how could I possibly hide it from you, Master?"

"That's really naughty, then I'll tell you."

Yu Qianrou's red lips, as soft as rose petals, moved close to Xu Chen's ear and whispered, "Why do you use Qimen to hide yourself?"

256. Yu Qianrou, stop testing me.

"Why do you use Qimen to hide yourself?"

When Xu Chen heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.

The fact that I used Qimen to hide my physical condition was discovered.

Logically speaking, people who don’t understand Qimen would find it difficult to understand.

Are you trying to trick him?

Some people don’t understand Qimen, but because of their special physique or because their strength is too strong, they can ignore Qimen.

In that situation, it is basically impossible to detect that the other party has used Qimen.

Only someone who knows a little bit about strange arts can notice it.

He didn't know whether Yu Qianrou was cheating him.

Now there are two options.

One is that he thought Yu Qianrou was deceiving him and refused to admit it.

The second is that Yu Qianrou did see it, admitted it frankly, and explained the reasons clearly.

If you choose one, if Yu Qianrou didn't lie to him, she must have really seen through it.

Then his situation will become very dangerous.

This proves that he really had to conceal his physical condition for a reason, and the possibility of him being an undercover agent was very high. Even Yu Qianrou might be able to associate it with his identity.

Choosing the second option is not safe either, because in the second option you have to consider whether Yu Qianrou will accept your reason.

Xu Chen had already thought about what to say, but whether Yu Qianrou would accept it or not was another matter.

If option one succeeds, you can completely get rid of suspicion. If the bet fails, there is a high probability that you will fall into the abyss.

Option 2 is not as extreme as option 1 and has room for maneuver.

Both options have certain risks, but option one is the most dangerous.

But if the bet is right, then there is no need to explain anything.

Want to bet?

Will you win the bet?

Xu Chen couldn't guarantee that he would win the bet, and Yu Qianrou had probably seen through it when she asked this.

These three hundred years are enough time for her to practice Qimen.

Besides, his physical condition has been discovered, so it is highly likely that Yu Qianrou saw through his use of Qimen.

The most important thing is that he doesn't quite believe in his luck.

He is not a gambler, he is a non-African.

"My father told me to hide myself so that I could achieve good results in the sect competition in a month."

Xu Chen immediately put the blame on his adoptive father who had been dead for who knows how long. After all, the dead can't speak.

"Low-key? Sword Maniac himself isn't a low-key person, yet he actually asks his own child to be low-key and hide himself. Isn't this a bit too funny?"

After listening to Xu Chen's explanation, Yu Qianrou said with a half-believing and half-doubting expression.

Xu Chen seemed to be in sorrow at this moment, and said in a sad tone: "Father said that he is no longer the same person as before. He has too many enemies, and I must learn to hide myself."

He was talking about the sword maniac Zhao Tianlu, but he was actually talking about himself.

If he still had the same cultivation level as before, how could he feel so frustrated like he is now?

"Yes, he has been silent for so many years."

Yu Qianrou placed her hand on her chin, nodded, and said, "Could it be that his cultivation has declined?"

"My father said it would be difficult for him to recover to his peak state, so he could only place his hopes on me."

Xu Chen's story was so convincing that it didn't seem like he was lying.

Many people make subtle movements when they lie, but Xu Chen doesn't.

Xu Chen would not leave so many loopholes.

"Then don't let your father down."

A playful smile appeared on Yu Qianrou's rosy lips. It was difficult to see any special emotion in this smile, and it was hard to tell whether she believed it or not.

"Well, I will definitely not let my father down, nor will I let my master down."

Xu Chen clenched his fists and showed a determined look as if he was about to take a free kick at the last moment on the football field.

"You have a sweet mouth, but cultivation doesn't rely on your mouth."

Yu Qianrou finally put her hand on the sword and prepared to start teaching.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment she placed her hand on the sword, the direction of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to change.

Xu Chen felt as if he was in a torrent, with his whole body being pulled by the current. It was difficult enough just to keep his body steady.

The saint looked at Yu Qianrou intently, not wanting to miss this best opportunity to learn.

got windy.

The dust on the ground slowly rose and danced in the wind.

A bit of awe-inspiring air, a thousand miles of breezy wind.

The sword energy fell like a waterfall, as if the sky was collapsing and a river was falling.

Yu Qianrou seemed to be at the center of heaven and earth, and sword energy filled every corner of heaven and earth.

Every blade of grass and every tree in the forbidden area is shrouded in sword energy and may be cut in half at any time.

"The sword is about power and speed, and also about sword intent."

Yu Qianrou finally began to teach, and said like a teacher: "Which of these three aspects do you think is more important?"

The saint was silent. She didn't want to disappoint the master and wanted to give a perfect answer.

Xu Chen knew that there was no standard answer to this question, as different sword cultivators thought differently.

His current identity is the son of a sword maniac, so he probably chooses strength and said, "I think it's strength."

"Power? Why?"

"Sword intent and speed are impure things; only strength is the purest. Ultimately, sword intent and speed are just tricks; only strength can truly be grasped in one's hands."

Xu Chen expressed his own opinion. Although he didn't think so in his heart, he seemed to be justified.

I couldn't help but straighten my back when I spoke.

"Impurity? The sword is about intention. What good are strength and speed without intention?"

The Saint finally spoke at this moment, saying, "Sword Intent represents the thoughts and consciousness of a sword cultivator. If you simply pursue strength and speed, why not become a physical cultivator?"

"They all make sense."

Yu Qianrou was like a peacemaker who appeared in the middle of a fight between the two. She smiled and said, "Every sword cultivator has his or her own opinions. I think all three are important."

"Actually, there's no need to force your way through certain areas. For example, if you can't improve your speed any further, you can focus on improving your strength and sword intent..."

She taught it, and it sounded like a trick.

The saint was a little confused. Don't people usually try hard to overcome difficulties?

Why did you think of diverting the route?

Shouldn't sword cultivators focus on one thing?

What she didn't know was that these were the words Xu Chen had said to Yu Qianrou back then.

Xu Chen was not so hardworking back then. Whenever he failed in one area, he would just practice other areas without any care.

He remembered it clearly, but he didn't expect that Yu Qianrou would use it to teach him three hundred years later.

It's scary.

If he said that he was not sure whether Yu Qianrou suspected him of being Xu Chen before, now he could clearly know that she did have doubts.

Otherwise, why would he say the same words he did back then?

Xu Chen didn't expect Yu Qianrou to react so quickly, and he was already sweating profusely.

"Okay, Zhao Cheng, you start first."

Yu Qianrou seemed to have deliberately omitted a word and shouted at Xu Chen.

Fortunately, Xu Chen never relaxed. He was trembling inside and said, "Master, my name is Zhao Chengfeng."

257. Don’t you like it because you don’t speak?

"Oh yes, Zhao Chengfeng, look at my memory."

Yu Qianrou scratched the back of her head, stuck out her tongue to cover up her previous mistake, and said, "Your master has a bad memory, I hope you don't mind."

You don't have a bad memory, you are just testing me, right?

Xu Chen didn't believe that Yu Qianrou had a bad memory and would remember his name "Zhao Chengfeng" as "Zhao Chen". It was obvious that Yu Qianrou did it on purpose.

Calling him "Xu Chen" directly would be too fake, and she didn't want him to be on guard so quickly.

So I just forgot one word to test him.

I want to see if he will subconsciously agree.

There is only one character difference between Zhao Chen and Zhao Chengfeng, and there is also only one character difference between Zhao Chen and Xu Chen.

There is a lot of knowledge involved here.

Xu Chen knew very well that what happened just now could not have been an oversight, it was definitely intentional.

He really didn't expect that Yu Qianrou would suspect that he was Xu Chen so quickly.

He could understand the suspicion that he was an undercover agent.

But doubting his true identity so quickly is a bit...

That's too sensitive.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a half-immortal. A practitioner of this level of cultivation is still too sensitive.

"fine."

Xu Chen was very magnanimous, so of course he didn't dare to say anything.

Yu Qianrou could test him countless times, and if he succeeded once, then he would be done for.

She could fail countless times, but he failed once and sent it.

Fortunately, he only needs to stay here for less than a month, and then he will enter the boundless realm.
