Chapter 361: Heaven beyond heaven

After listening to Leng Xuan’s account, the Old Master was both surprised and curious, and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "So that’s how it is, no wonder Xue Jiu and Xiao Jie said you were sleepwalking, haha."

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Leng Xuan touched his nose and didn’t speak.

The Old Master then asked, "Where did you learn the spell you have been cultivating?"

Leng Xuan smiled and replied, "Speaking of which, I have to thank the Old Master for the treasure you gave me."

"Oh?" The Old Master expressed surprise, "Are you talking about The Hundred Treasure Mirror?"

Leng Xuan nodded and continued to describe how he found the nameless spell in the Huaxia Library with the help of The Hundred Treasure Mirror. Although he couldn’t understand the text at first, he was fortunate to later meet Luo Qianzhang, who lent him the translated copied version.

The Old Master was visibly astonished and said, "I have always wondered why there was a presence of True Qi fluctuation on Elder Luo, so it was because of that nameless secret tome. I can’t blame him then." As he said this, he suddenly remembered seeing Luo Qianzhang’s granddaughter, Luo Shuixi, at the Imperial Cuisine House a few days earlier, and frowned, saying, "Something doesn’t seem right!"

Leng Xuan was taken aback and asked with some confusion, "Old Master, what do you mean by something not being right?"

After a moment of contemplation, the Old Master said, "Do you remember the granddaughter of Elder Luo, that girl named Luo Shuixi?"

Leng Xuan’s expression changed slightly, unsure why the Old Master would suddenly bring up Luo Shuixi, but he nodded without saying anything.

The Old Master continued, "That girl is also a cultivator, and her cultivation level is extremely high, though she has hidden it well."

Leng Xuan’s expression shifted slightly. Hearing someone of the Old Master’s stature say that Luo Shuixi had an extremely high cultivation level was quite surprising. No wonder he had always felt uncomfortable around her; this young lady was indeed so formidable. He couldn’t help but ask, "Old Master, how did you figure that out?"

The Old Master replied, "I can’t explain it clearly. That girl might possess something that can conceal her aura, for even I am unable to sense the True Qi fluctuations within her."

Leng Xuan wondered, "Then how can the Old Master be sure she is a cultivator, and one with high cultivation at that?"

The Old Master explained, "The day she saw me, there was a distinct flicker of recognition in her eyes, as if she had discovered something. It made me quite uneasy. Thinking about it afterward, she might have realized that I am a cultivator." He said this with a wry smile, adding, "Tell me, if someone can discern at a glance that I am a cultivator, wouldn’t their cultivation be high?"

Hearing this, Leng Xuan was truly shocked. Could it be that Luo Shuixi’s cultivation level surpassed even the Old Master’s?

Having given Leng Xuan a look, the Old Master could roughly guess what was on his mind and sighed slightly, "There is always a higher sky and someone better in this world; there is never anything impossible."

Understanding what the Old Master meant, Leng Xuan nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Old Master, have you ever heard of a man named Chu Nan?"

"Chu Nan?" The Old Master mused for a moment before shaking his head, "I haven’t. But why do you suddenly ask about this person?"

Leng Xuan replied, "Because he is the culprit who killed Golden-tooth Liu and the others!"

The Old Master’s expression changed slightly and he asked, "What is the background of this person?"
