Chapter 1616 - 130: You’d Better Lie! (Part 2)
Once the female Sect Master had arranged everything, Zhou Yan spoke: "Xi Ye girl, come, help me back."
Zhou Yan’s casual words made him sound like an old man, and Zhuge Xiye like a little girl, speaking with exaggerated wisdom.
But upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiye glared at Zhou Yan intensely and said, "If you want to go, go yourself. Do you really need someone to support you?"
"I don’t need someone to support me, I need a maid to support me. Come on, Xi Ye maid, words are meant to be kept."
Zhou Yan laughed.
Zhuge Xiye’s pretty face turned red and white but she didn’t retort.
She walked up to Zhou Yan, took his arm, and directly wielded Heavenly Mechanism Power to take Zhou Yan away.
However, from beginning to end, her beautiful face was cold, clearly uncomfortable inside.
Indeed, such a high and mighty Heaven’s Chosen Girl, being the maid to Zhou Yan, this ’crude’, ’arrogant’, and ’flippant’ person, how could she possibly feel comfortable?
"Xi Ye, actually being my maid is truly your honor, one day, you’ll think that it’s a great honor."
Zhou Yan said gently.
The corners of his eyes carried a trace of laughter.
As for those cultivators in the Heavenly Mechanism Space, Zhou Yan couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.
"Honor, truly an honor, I, Zhuge Xiye, indeed have earned such fortune through three lifetimes."
Zhuge Xiye sarcastically said in a cold voice.
"Well, you never know, maybe it is!"
"I recall I once promised some beauties a fate spanning three lifetimes."
Zhou Yan pondered, touched his chin, and said.
"Can you be even more shameless? Do you think you are the Creator Saint Spirit?"
Zhuge Xiye mocked coldly.
"Creator Saint Spirit? What the hell is that? Not even fit to be my shoe-bearer."
Zhou Yan pouted and said directly.
This was certainly the truth, but hearing this, Zhuge Xiye’s face turned red with anger!
"Oh yes, you must be such an incredible person, everyone fears you, everyone is worthless in your eyes. Only you are the core hub of this world, everyone depends on you, satisfied now?"
Zhuge Xiye was evidently furious, thus her words were especially sarcastic.
But Zhou Yan reached out and tapped Zhuge Xiye’s head, saying: "Little girl, daring to speak to your master like this, you’re simply turning the world upside down!"
"You——"
Zhuge Xiye stepped back a bit, then coldly glared at Zhou Yan.
Yet Zhou Yan wasn’t afraid of her gaze; when she looked at him, he watched her eyes with interest.
Facing Zhou Yan’s gaze—clear, serene, carefree, and rebellious—at first, Zhuge Xiye could meet his gaze out of anger.
But after a moment, her heart began to race, and she was a bit afraid to look at this gaze.
This gaze was too captivating!
Therefore, after realizing she couldn’t withstand this gaze, Zhuge Xiye quickly withdrew her gaze in avoidance, and successfully concealed her inexplicable feeling of unease.
"I lost, so I’m convinced, although I don’t know how you did it, do you find it amusing? Do you find it amusing to play with everyone’s intelligence?"
Zhuge Xiye said in a cold voice.
She didn’t look at Zhou Yan anymore, but her speech was stable, and her emotions calmed down.
"I’ve always been sincere, after all, I’m indeed so outstanding, like the sun in the dark night, impossible to hide. But since you say so, okay, I decide that I will be more low-key from now on."
"The greatest tragedy in the world is when you’re speaking the truth, being low-key all along, yet others think you’re superficial, arrogant, and frivolous."
Zhou Yan sighed lightly, indeed feeling speechless.
His temperament no longer allowed him to display shock because someone had some trivial abilities, nor to show servility towards ’big figures’ of some Holy Land.
Just like he said, what Saint Master, what great elders and ancient antiques, what... what are those? Ants that could be squashed with a single step!
No, not even ants.
Even though Zhou Yan had lost his past abilities, those abilities hadn’t vanished but were temporarily dormant due to the world’s rules.
Zhou Yan is still Zhou Yan, still the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable Zhou Yan.
How could he bow down to some elders from a small sect in the mortal world?
That’s impossible.
Therefore, in others’ eyes, he’s arrogant, he doesn’t respect hierarchy.
But is that really the case?
"I don’t want to talk about these superficial things with you, to avoid the urge to confront you."
"Actually, can’t we just talk properly? Do you always have to show you’re superior?"
Zhuge Xiye sighed gently.
At this moment, her gaze unexpectedly showed a touch of tenderness.
Clearly, she hoped Zhou Yan could change.
Zhou Yan was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly, saying: "Some things are not superficial but are imprinted in the soul and bones, unchangeable. I am who I am, I am Zhou Yan, this won’t change with the changes of epochs."
"Forget it, you wouldn’t understand these. But when you do understand, you’ll realize how low-key I, Zhou Yan, already am now."
Zhou Yan spoke helplessly.
Zhuge Xiye had no intention of probing deeper, because even probing wouldn’t lead to any enlightenment.
She gently brushed her black hair at her forehead, softly saying: "You have no cultivation, yet can wield so much Tao, how do you do it? Or are you intentionally hiding your cultivation?"
Zhuge Xiye’s captivating gaze landed on Zhou Yan’s face; she still showed absolute sincerity, seemingly deciding to use her sincerity to influence Zhou Yan.
How could Zhou Yan not sense Zhuge Xiye’s thoughts?
He felt a bit of small gratification, but after pondering, he said: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Of course, the truth."
"The truth is, I’m not hiding my cultivation, I indeed have no cultivation."
"And the lies?"
"The lies are, I’ve hidden my cultivation, deliberately doing so to draw attention."
"Lies sound like the truth! But I believe you’re not lying."
"You believe this, so why not believe the things I said earlier?"
"Those weren’t things people say."
Zhuge Xiye said directly.
Zhou Yan was speechless.
He then said: "So, is the current discussion normal then?"
"Yes, at least it won’t irritate people anymore."
"Alright. Anything else you’d like to know?"
"You have no cultivation, how did you defeat them? I mean, when you fought Zhang Yuyang and Xia Houchen."
Zhuge Xiye’s seriousness intensified.
This was her biggest doubt.
"Very simple, just learn their Tao."
"Huh?"
"Watch them strike, derive their slaughter methods, dodge while optimizing their methods, and kill them."
"Let them die by their own slaughter methods, which is undoubtedly the little benefit I give because they’re Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciples."
Zhou Yan stated seriously.
"..."
Zhuge Xiye was speechless.
After a moment of silence, she said: "You might as well lie."
