"I know what you're going to say again, that you're the lucky star of the Great Banquet, that with you around, the Great Banquet Kingdom will surely be prosperous and peaceful—all that nonsense. Aren't you all tired of this? How can you believe such baseless jokes? Look at me, I'm just a small, widowed woman from the countryside, can I really handle this? Stop flattering me, okay? I can't take it, oh my!"

Cen Xi scoffed with disdain, "Damn it, ever since I met Yu Kuang, everyone I've met has been reminding me of my identity and the heavy responsibilities I bear."

Has no one ever asked her if this is the identity she wanted? Don't they know how much trouble they've caused her?

"No, ever since my junior brother locked me up here, I've calculated that seventy years from now, her descendant will come looking for me here. She'll be a girl named Yanxi."

"So what? Old man, what do you want me to do? You must be referring to the grand banquet for the founding emperor, Yan Shengxiao, right? If you want revenge, then I regret to inform you that he died of illness less than six months after he usurped the throne."

Cen Xi said without any politeness.

"He is dead, but I estimate that he returned to this world twenty-six years ago. Given his pursuit of power, he might even rebel again. Girl, your astrological chart shows that you are her nemesis. Whether you like it or not, you will not have peace after you leave."

"If you let him get away with this, you'll suffer a terrible death! And let me tell you, if he kills you, you'll be punished by heaven!"

The old man had clearly realized that Cen Xi was unwilling to shoulder the responsibilities that came with her identity. So he had no choice but to resort to drastic measures.

"You're threatening me!"

Cen Xi's eyes were extremely cold at this moment.

"Girl, don't you understand yet? It's not me threatening you, it's God threatening you. I've just calculated your fate."

The old man looked at her and spoke earnestly.

"..."

Cen Xi was speechless for a moment.

"You were able to break through the formation to get here, which means you have already mastered the Hundred-Break Formation. In the past few hundred years, apart from my junior brother, only you have this ability. It seems that you are indeed his natural opponent."

Seeing that he didn't speak, the old man sighed to himself.

"Since you can figure out my name, can you figure out his name too? Who is he? If you want me to stop him, you have to tell me who he is!"

Seeing the seriousness in his voice, Cen Xi's expression darkened further. If that's the case, then she wouldn't have a good life unless she killed that guy. She might as well find him and kill him as soon as she got out.

"He used forbidden techniques to change his fate, which I couldn't calculate, so I'm sorry."

The old man stroked his incredibly long beard with regret and said...

"Alright! You Taoist priests are always so unfathomable, and your skills are only half effective and half ineffective. Asking you to point out the way is simply a pipe dream. Who told me to end up in this position? Heaven is also strange in its selection of people. It can even take a liking to a widow like me. It's really a strange way of choosing people!"

Cen Xi is very angry, but has nowhere to vent, and is really feeling suffocated.

"Judging from your clear and bright appearance, you should still be a virgin. Why do you always act like a widow?"

The old man asked, puzzled.

"I have both a son and a daughter, how come I'm still a virgin? Old man, you're joking too much. This joke isn't funny at all."

Cen Xi clearly did not believe her explanation.

"There must be something wrong here. Girl, I suggest you go out and find a place to apply a cinnabar mark. I can see from your endoscope that you are still a pure virgin and have never been close to a man."

The old man looked at Cen Xi carefully for a moment, then said seriously.

"Oh? How does this endoscope work? It can even tell if a woman is a virgin?"

After the old man reminded him, Cen Xi suddenly became very interested in the endoscope he was talking about.

"You must be a disciple of the Hidden Sect, right?"

The old man asked.

"Yes! Who is Old Man Gongsun to you?"

"He's my eldest disciple! He's now the leader of the Hidden Sect?"

"Yes! I took him as my master."

Cen Xi nodded in agreement.

"Then it wouldn't hurt to pass on all my skills to you! Come forward!"

After the old man finished speaking, he reached out and beckoned Cen Xi to him uncontrollably. He instantly grasped her pulse and observed her internal energy.

After a series of actions, he finally spoke:

"Hmm! Not bad! The Heavenly Wolf Technique is quite suitable for you! It's just that you started practicing martial arts too late, and your meridians are a bit cloudy. Let me use my internal energy to purify your meridians, and then you will achieve twice the results with half the effort!"

After the old man finished speaking, before Cen Xi could reply, he instantly grabbed Cen Xi's hands with both of his. Then Cen Xi felt a domineering aura rush to her head, which she couldn't withstand, and she fainted instantly.

When Cen Xi woke up again, it was ten days later. She was still in the cave, and the old man didn't die after passing on his skills like in other novels.

He is alive and well.

And he looks much more energetic. What's wrong with him? Did he transfer all the waste from his body to her?

Wouldn't that mean she had received a pile of his filth? Cen Xi felt disgusted at the thought.

What kind of expression is that?

The old man noticed her strange look and couldn't help but ask.

"You look refreshed and energetic, I suspect you may have expelled the filth from your body to me."

Cen Xi always says what she thinks; that's just how she is.

"You brat, you're getting the better deal and you're still acting innocent. Do you feel refreshed now?"

"..."

After taking a look around, Cen Xi felt that her body seemed much lighter and her eyesight was exceptionally good. She could even see an ant inside the cave, so it seemed that her skill was quite good.

"Old man, what kind of kung fu is that? How is it so amazing?"
