Chapter 184: Who Is Less Skillful?

“Who is that?”

Chu Luo asked the group of people, who had on an awkward expression.

The person who answered was Lu Yungui. Lu Yungui shook his head and said with a regretful expression, “It’s someone from the Xuanqing School. That person’s name is Xuan Yi. He was born with good talent, especially in the evolution of array formations. It’s just that he’s too arrogant and thinks too highly of himself.”

At this point, he warned Chu Luo, “That person is used to doing whatever he wants. He likes to set up arrays to trap people without giving them notice. Master Chu, you have to be careful these next two days.”

Chu Luo suddenly thought of the Xuanqing School person she’d dealt with last time. Her lips curled up slightly and she said, “It’s fine. I’ll take this chance to spar with this person.”

The group continued walking inside.

After walking into the front yard, they saw the temple hall where the devotees burned incense and worshiped Buddha. The group didn’t enter the temple hall but walked around the corridor.

After going around the temple hall, they arrived at another courtyard. There were many purple bamboos planted on both sides of the courtyard, and in the middle was a huge open space. At this moment, there were around two monks sweeping the fallen leaves on the open space.

Opposite the courtyard was a very large hall.

The wooden doors of the hall were wide open, and a group of people could be seen standing inside.

These people had been chatting softly. They only stopped when Chu Luo and the others walked in.

Everyone first greeted Jin Hui, then turned to look at Chu Luo.

“Who is she? Why does she look so similar to this year’s college entrance examination top scholar?”

“She doesn’t just look like her. She is her.”

“With her full forehead and extraordinary aura, she is indeed cut out for studying. I can conclude that this woman will definitely become accomplished in the future.”

“This isn’t a place for seminars and learning. Why did President Jin bring Chu Luo here?”

…

The group walked to the front and stood still. Jin Hui introduced Chu Luo to everyone first. “Let me introduce you. This is Chu Luo, whom I met two months ago. My young friend Chu.”

Everyone felt a little strange when they heard Jin Hui address Chu Luo as “young friend Chu.”

One of the more impatient ones asked, “President Jin, all of us are from the Metaphysics Society and are capable experts. It’s not appropriate for you to bring a child here, right?”

Then, many people echoed it.

“Exactly. Our seminar is filled with topics that outsiders don’t understand. Wouldn’t a kid be too bored to be here?”

“There are also many young people here today. With Chu Luo’s appearance, aren’t there concerns of distracting them?”

This was said by a woman. That woman looked to be 27 or 28 years old. She was wearing a cotton dress and had a head full of hair. She looked a little like an ancient Daoist nun.

Beside the woman stood Xuan Yi, whom Chu Luo and the others had encountered in the outer courtyard.

Lu Yungui, who was standing beside Chu Luo, tilted his head and whispered to her, “That person is Xuan Yi’s senior sister, Xuan Xin.”

Chu Luo glanced at the two of them.

Coincidentally, her gaze met Xuan Yi’s, and she saw deep disdain in his eyes.

At this moment, Xuan Yi said something in Xuan Xin’s ear. Xuan Xin looked at Chu Luo and gave her a contemptuous look.

Chu Luo narrowed her eyes slightly but didn’t emit any killing intent. She only smiled at them.

At this moment, Jin Hui raised his hand to silence everyone. He asked, “Who said that my young friend doesn’t understand metaphysics?”

“Could it be that Little Chu also has a master to guide her? Or did she become a disciple of an expert?” someone asked. “I wonder which sect this young friend’s master comes from?”

“I can’t say.” Chu Luo realized that as long as she said this, ordinary people wouldn’t continue asking.

Indeed…

“What does Little Chu know then?”

“I know everything you know.”

“…”

Everyone looked at Chu Luo strangely. This child was too arrogant!

To think that she dared to boast so arrogantly at such a young age!

“Ha!”

At this moment, Xuan Yi suddenly sneered and walked over as he said, “This isn’t the college entrance examination venue, nor is it a school. Since you’re so confident, show us a few moves.”

Instead of approaching Chu Luo, Xuan Yi walked around her.

Jin Hui quickly warned Chu Luo, “Young friend, be careful. This person is probably setting up an array formation against you.”

While Jin Hui was warning Chu Luo, the others had also been able to tell as much.

No one made a sound. Instead, they took a few steps to the side at the same time to leave space. Everyone wanted to see if Chu Luo had the ability.

Chu Luo said to Jin Hui and the others, “You guys retreat too.”

Lu Yungui and the others wanted to say something, but Jin Hui raised his hand to stop them. “Listen to our young friend.”

After saying that, he took the lead and took a few steps back.

Soon, only Chu Luo and Xuan Yi were left in the vast space.

At this moment, Xuan Yi pulled out a piece of dark iron stone and tossed it somewhere.

Instantly, the hall moved without the wind. Soon, the two of them entered a sealed array formation.

The winds in the array formation were fierce, blowing so hard that people couldn’t open their eyes.

At this moment, Xuan Yi’s mocking voice could be heard. “I thought you were extraordinary to actually harm my senior brother like that.”

Chu Luo had a calm expression. “Are you planning to help Xuan Tong regain his face?”

“Hmph! You are now in the array formation that I’ve set up. Even if I injured you and crippled you, no one would say anything. Who asked you to be so useless as to come to our Metaphysical Conference?”

“Are you serious?” Chu Luo’s eyes lit up.

Xuan Yi didn’t see the glow in Chu Luo’s eyes. His expression became vicious. “It’s just normal sparring for people like us. The higher-ups won’t care.”

“Good to know.”

As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the violent winds that were circling around her immediately turned into wind blades that flew straight at Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi looked at the wind blades in disbelief. He quickly retreated and took out a piece of dark iron stone. After which, he disappeared.

However, just as he disappeared, he appeared in front of Chu Luo again in the next second.

At this moment, he finally realized that something was amiss.

Chu Luo smiled at him. “Are you surprised that you can’t hide?”

After saying that, she extended her hand and pointed at the dark iron stone on the ground with her fingertip. “Trap him.”

The two dark iron stones moved instantly.

“How… how is this possible!” Xuan Yi widened his eyes in disbelief.

In the next second, those wind blades appeared again and quickly shot towards him.

“Ah… Boo…”

Hearing the miserable cry, Chu Luo directly retreated from the array formation.

The moment Chu Luo came out, everyone looked at her in disbelief.

There was only one reason why Chu Luo could walk out of the array formation. The person who had set up the array was trapped inside.

A woman’s raised voice was heard. “Why did you come out first? Where’s my junior brother?”

After the questioning, Xuan Xin walked over. Her face was filled with worry and anger. “What did you do to my junior brother?”

Chu Luo looked at her coldly, but her lips curled into a smile that made Xuan Xin want to tear her apart. “Since you’re worried about him, why don’t you go in and take a look yourself?”

After saying that, she raised her hand. Xuan Xin felt a powerful suction force sucking her into that array.

“No, no, no… I’m not going in…”

Xuan Xin panicked. Just as she was about to be sucked in, a person dressed in monk robes walked over and grabbed her.

The monk pressed his palms together and said to Chu Luo, “Young Patron, please show mercy.”

Chu Luo’s smile disappeared and she sneered. “Show mercy? Then I’ll let you hear what the person trapped in the array said just now.”

With that, he waved his hand and Xuan Yi’s words entered everyone’s ears.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, feeling even more disdainful of Xuan Yi’s actions.

Chu Luo looked at the monk and asked, “If I were weaker than him, I would have been sliced into pieces by the wind blades he created. Why didn’t you step up to speak for me before this? Why did you come out only now? Are you in cahoots with them?”

“Erm… Young Patron, please don’t spout nonsense.”

After the monk finished speaking, he bowed to her and said, “It’s my fault. I’ll go back immediately and reflect on my mistakes.”

With that, he turned around and left.

“Hey…” Xuan Xin was anxious. She reached out to pull him back. “Master, what will happen to my junior brother if you leave?”

The monk said, “If there is a cause, there must be an effect. This is the cause planted by that benefactor. He has to be the one to suffer the effects.”

With that, he strode away.

Xuan Xin was hopping mad.

She knew that it was useless to hop in fury. She quickly looked around and said anxiously, “What are you all looking at? Quickly save him!”

Although she sounded anxious, she didn’t look like she was asking for a favor.

Everyone who came here was a master. Everyone had their own pride. Xuan Xin’s tone of command offended everyone.

Lu Yungui said, “This is a normal sparring session between Young Friend Chu and Xuan Yi. None of us can break the rules.”

“That’s right. Since Xuan Yi set up the formation himself, how could he not be able to walk out?”

“Exactly. Wouldn’t we become Xuan Yi’s helpers by attacking her?”

…

Everyone started speaking up.

At this moment, Jin Hui added, “Why don’t we wait for Xuan Yi to come out of the array? At the same time, we can listen to how Young Friend came out first.”

“Agreed!”

“Agreed!”

…

“Young friend, please tell us how you managed to walk out without destroying the formation.”

At this point, everyone called Chu Luo “Young Friend.” No one called her “Little Chu” anymore.

Seeing that everyone was curious, Chu Luo started spouting nonsense in all seriousness.

Everyone listened with relish and praised her.

Only Xuan Xin was there with her eyes red with anxiety. She glared fiercely at Chu Luo, wanting to pounce on her and tear her apart.
