Chapter 335: Question
# 335. Question
Luo Yuheng froze, her beautiful eyes lighting up with a brilliant gleam. She looked at Chu Yuanzhen, pursed her lips, and said, “Xu Qi’an interfered in the Conflict of Heaven and Man... and defeated you and Li Miaozhen?”
Chu Yuanzhen nodded and gave a wry smile. “I don’t know why he acted so suddenly.”
In truth, he harboured a faint suspicion—it was Daoist Jinlian who subtly incited him, likely to avoid a life-and-death clash between members of the Heaven and Earth Society. However, this theory was something he could not share with Luo Yuheng.
“Explain in detail. How did he defeat you?” Luo Yuheng glanced at him briefly before casting her gaze toward the colorful flowers in the courtyard.
Chu Yuanzhen noticed that the National Teacher seemed to brighten in an instant, like the blooming flowers in the courtyard. The oppressive mood she carried earlier had lifted entirely.
“In fact, his victory over me and Li Miaozhen was thanks to external assistance. He possesses a Confucian tome containing many spells. But swords and artefacts are also external tools. A loss is a loss,” Chu Yuanzhen said with a magnanimous tone.
Luo Yuheng pondered aloud, “Confucian techniques alone shouldn’t have been enough to defeat both you and Li Miaozhen.”
Her tone was resolute.
