Hua Shi had no idea what he should say. He sat there with his head down like a rock, not even knowing where to put his hands. It was not until Xuan Shuzhi glanced at the teacup next to him that he quickly moved over, gently picked up the cup, and put it down after a moment, saying, "It's cold."
Xuan Shuzhi couldn't help but laugh: "I asked you to pour tea for my teacher."
Hua Shi: “…”
He remembered his current status as a disciple, so he immediately stood up and poured another cup of tea for Xuan Shuzhi. After he sat down again and watched Xuan Shuzhi drink the tea, he took the initiative to say, "I used to clean the courtyard in the sect. In my spare time, I thought the scenery of the sect was beautiful, so I noticed this place."
His words were half true and half false. He stared at Xuan Shuzhi and said deliberately, "When I saw this pavilion in the villa, I guessed that from here, I would be able to see the whole sect. That's why I sneaked out here after finishing my work."
As he said this, he glanced at the sects over there. Just as he said, almost all of the Political Commissar Xuanling Pavilion was in his sight. It was as beautiful as a fairyland.
He had a question in his heart, which was like a cat scratching him, so he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Master, how did you find such a good place?"
Xuan Shuzhi's eyes were filled with smiles. He looked at Hua Shi's serious question and said after a while, "You can see more things if you stand high. This place is near Xuanling Pavilion, so it's not difficult to find it."
Hua Shi asked, "So Master built the pavilion here so that you can come here from time to time to view the scenery of Xuanling Pavilion?"
He said with a curious look: "I haven't been able to see Master these two days, so Master, are you resting here?"
Xuan Shuzhi slowly put down the teacup, his eyebrows slightly raised: "You call me Master, it's more comfortable for me."
Hua Shi scratched his head: "I have already become your disciple, but you snatched me from some spiritual master, hall master, or vegetarian master. You wouldn't turn your back on me just because you have me under your control, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi choked and coughed, almost choking out the tea he had just drunk.
Not only him, but even Fang Wei was left speechless by Hua Shi's theory.
Xuan Shuzhi stopped coughing after a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been here for the past two days, but I didn't expect you to come here. Well, since you are here and have said so, I will answer three questions for you. No matter what you want to ask, I will answer you, but you have to think carefully, you only have three chances to ask."
Hua Shi was stunned. He never expected such a good thing to happen. However, he was not sure what Xuan Shuzhi meant. Did he know what he wanted to investigate? Or was he just in a good mood? Or was he deliberately testing him to find out how much he knew about Xuanling Pavilion?
This is really hard to judge. Hua Shi hesitated for a moment: "Really, any question is fine?"
Xuan Shuzhi chuckled when he heard this: "You have to think about it carefully. Do you really want this question to be your first question?"
Hua Shi immediately stopped and waved his hands, saying, "No, no! Change the question! Change the question!"
Looking at Xuan Shuzhi's slightly teasing expression, he felt a little relieved in his heart, but still decided to ask the question. After all, looking at Xuan Shuzhi's old fox look, he might have guessed his thoughts and intentions to a certain extent. Instead of constantly trying to hide it, it is better to reveal it actively. If Xuan is just in a good mood, maybe he can figure out more things.
Hua Shi had already made up his mind when he thought of this. He looked around and asked, "Master, I heard that this place used to be a wilderness with nothing. Moreover, the terrain here is remote and not suitable for living at all. Why did you spend so much effort to build Xuanling Pavilion here? Wouldn't it be more convenient in other towns?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows even higher, looked at Hua Shi's serious expression, and smiled with the corners of his lips raised: "Do you want to say that I am asking for trouble by doing this?"
When Xuan Shuzhi heard this, he finally had a different reaction.
In fact, Hua Shi was not the only one who wanted to ask this question. Fang Wei was also curious and wanted to know what answer Xuan Shuzhi would give.
Hua Shi shook his head: "I just can't understand why you, Master, chose the most difficult option when there are obviously better options."
He said this, but in fact he didn't think completely in this way. What he wanted to understand more was why, based on Liu Qishuang's words, he really built a paradise on earth in such a place.
But because he couldn't explain how he had seen this scene with the Huiguang Pearl, he had to change his statement.
Xuan Shuzhi saw Hua Shi's expression and pondered as if thinking about how to answer. After a while, he said, "Do you really think that the Xuanling Pavilion built in other towns would be better?"
Hua Shi opened his mouth when he heard this, but didn't know how to refute.
Xuan Shuzhi said: "This place looks remote, but in fact it is not far from many places. It is just difficult to be discovered because of the hidden terrain. For cultivators, it does not take much time to travel to other places. The landscape here is unique among all the places I have been to. There are mountains, water and such a good environment. Is there anything wrong with me building Xuanling Pavilion here?"
He smiled, stretched out his index finger, shook it and said, "There is no better choice. This is the best choice I know."
Before Hua Shi could ask again, Xuan Shuzhi continued, "Many years ago, I once challenged someone to a duel. The battlefield was right here, right where this pavilion is."
Hua Shi had a strange expression when he heard this: "A fight?"
Hui Guangzhu would not lie. Hua Shi knew in his heart that this was not a challenge at all, but Xuan Shuzhi was secretly lying here to assassinate Liu Qishuang.
Xuan Shuzhi didn't notice Hua Shi's strange look, and continued, "It was just a coincidence that we came here. Later, we fought for a long time, and finally lost to that person by half a move. So we simply put aside our hatred and drank and talked happily..."
Hua Shi couldn't help but ask again: "Half a move difference?"
In Huiguangzhu, no one knew who lost to Liu Qishuang. Later, he was unwilling to give in and tried again, but was easily subdued by Liu Qishuang without even having to spend any extra effort.
However, Hua Shi couldn't say these things out loud, so he could only keep them in his heart and tried his best to sound normal: "What happened next?"
Xuan Shuzhi said, "That man has always been very strange. I have met him many times. Sometimes I feel that he actually has no ambitions. He doesn't seem to care about power and fame. He can get rid of them immediately and doesn't worry about what others think of him. But sometimes I feel that his ambitions seem to be very big, so big that even this world can't contain them. No one can know what he is thinking."
Hua Shi listened to Xuan Shuzhi's words attentively. He knew, of course, that the "he" Xuan Shuzhi was referring to was Liu Qishuang.
Xuan Shuzhi seemed to be immersed in memories. After a long silence, he suddenly smiled and said softly, "I don't like that person."
Hua Shi instinctively was about to explode with anger, thinking how could you hate someone as perfect as Liu Qishuang?
But then I thought, what else? Do I still want my master to like him? Then I will have another rival in love?
Hua Shi was caught in a tangled contradiction and felt very embarrassed.
But after that, Xuan Shuzhi spoke again: "That person is Liu Qishuang whom you asked about before. I don't know why you are interested in him, but that guy is not as simple as you look. I was irritated by him that day, and I don't know why I blurted out the question. I wanted to ask him what he was thinking and what he was going to do..."
Xuan Shuzhi paused, turned around and asked, "Guess what he answered?"
Hua Shi: “…”
Of course he knew the answer to this question, but unfortunately he couldn't say he knew the answer.
Xuan Shuzhi didn't expect Hua Shi to answer, so he pointed to the Xuanling Pavilion below the cliff and said, "He didn't tell me what he was going to do. He just told me that the scenery here is very beautiful. If we build a mountain villa courtyard here in the future, it must be a good choice."
Hua Shi thought that was indeed the case, so he asked, "So you just..."
Xuan Shuzhi turned his head to look at him: "How is it possible?"
Hua Shi: “…”
Xuan Shuzhi continued, "At that time, I thought he was just fooling me, and I didn't take it seriously. Later, many things happened in Xuanqing Continent, and I also experienced many changes. One time, I was chased by someone, and I didn't know how I ended up in this place after being seriously injured. I originally thought I was going to die, but the terrain here is strange and it is difficult for people to tell the direction here, and the sound of the waterfall successfully hid my footsteps, and the group of pursuers finally failed to find me."
Hua Shi looked at the Broken Peak Waterfall in the distance and couldn't help but recall the grace of Liu Qishuang when she swung the sword.
In a sense, it was Liu Qishuang's sword many years ago that saved Xuan Shuzhi.
Xuan Shuzhi was also looking at the waterfall. He said leisurely, "Surviving that catastrophe reminded me of what Liu Qishuang said to me before, so I decided to give it a try. He said that building a manor here would be a good choice, so I will build a manor to see if it can really change this place. I will see if I can understand what he was thinking back then after I build the manor."
When Hua Shi heard this, he immediately turned around and asked, "Master, can you guess what he was thinking when he said this?"
Xuan Shuzhi pondered and shook his head, "Sometimes I feel I understand, and sometimes I don't."
Hua Shi couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Why is this so mysterious? System, do you understand?"
Fang Wei listened to the whole thing in silence. After Hua Shi asked her this question, she couldn't help but laugh: "I don't understand."
Hua Shi then decided in his mind: "Perhaps Liu Qishuang was just expressing his feelings, but Master thought too much and pondered over it for so many years."
Fang Wei did not deny his statement. He kept his eyes on Xuan Shuzhi for a long time before saying, "Host, I think you can start thinking of a way to leave."
Hua Shi was still hesitating about how to ask the next two questions, but Xuan Shuzhi on the opposite side suddenly put away his smile and turned around and said, "Okay, my good mood for today has run out, so I'll just answer the questions here..."
"Wait! There are two more questions!" Hua Shi asked hurriedly.
Xuan Shuzhi tilted his head: "Hmm? I'll save it for next time when I'm in a good mood."
Hua Shi suddenly became alert and finally understood why the system had suddenly reminded him. He quickly asked, "Then how can Master be in a good mood?"
Xuan Shuzhi asked: "What do you think?"
Hua Shi was speechless for a moment. Xuan Shuzhi didn't wait for him to think and continued, "It's a good thing that I met you here, so I don't have to send someone to find you. Since you came to the sect, I haven't taught you seriously. In order to prevent you from thinking that I am an incompetent master, I'd better get to know you first."
He quickly turned around and sat down in the pavilion again, holding his chin with his legs crossed and waving at Hua Shi, saying, "I remember that you have a bond with a fifth-level spirit creature, right? Come on, enter the spirit transformation state and let me see what your spirit creature looks like."
Hua Shi was stunned.
He thought of the tenth-level spirit creature Mr. with whom he had formed a bond in the spirit realm.
Because the elf fell asleep in his soul after the contract was made and had no sense of existence for so many days, he almost forgot about it.
Now Xuan Shuzhi let him enter the spiritual state, but...
Xuan Shuzhi saw that he didn't respond for a while, so he took the initiative to say, "It can't be spiritualized? That doesn't matter, just let it out, and I'll see what it looks like. Is that okay?"
