Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Wayless Sect, Ancestral Master Hall.

Gazing at this proud yet slightly mischievous female disciple,

Chu Yuan felt a headache coming on.

This wasn't just being argumentative?

Without an answer, how could he continue his ruse?

He had thought that Su Qianyuan was difficult to hoodwink, but Dantai Luoxue proved even more challenging.

Could this be what a genius was like?

"Luo Xue, you this..."

Chu Yuan opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Respected Master, you can't blame your disciple, I truly do not understand these matters,"

Dantai Luoxue said with a smile.

She had never bothered with any cultivation scriptures.

Ever since she was very young, she had been convinced that the Immortal Path was impassable.

Thus she never read any cultivation scriptures, preferring to keep her mental state unblemished and pure.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"If you don't understand, just ask, aren't I standing right here? Never mind, since you don't understand anything, I will have to explain everything to you bit by bit. First, let us talk about what the Dao is, the so-called Dao..."

Chu Yuan had wanted to embark on another round of deception.

But he hadn't even finished speaking.

Dantai Luoxue suddenly spoke up, interrupting him.

"Respected Master, I would like to know, what does the so-called Dao have to do with cultivation?"

Dantai Luoxue's eyes turned to her master as she asked.

As soon as she spoke,

Chu Yuan nearly had a breakdown.

Why couldn't this disciple let him have an easy time and just let him spin his tales?

Had it been a male disciple,

Chu Yuan might have gone up and tapped the disciple's head a couple of times to make him understand that one should not interrupt when the master is speaking.

But that was just wishful thinking.

Chu Yuan would never actually tap anyone on the head.

This was a genius.

What if he actually did tap and turned her into a good-for-nothing? If she turned out gifted, who would compensate for that?

He would be the one to bear the cost.

Better to just go along with the topic Dantai Luoxue provided and continue the deception.

Thinking this, Chu Yuan could only take a deep breath and slowly begin to speak.

"Enough, enough, Luo Xue, you really need to change this capricious nature of yours."

"Since you've asked, naturally, as your master, I must answer your question about the relationship between the Dao and cultivation..."

As he spoke, Chu Yuan paused, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Cultivation is one kind of Dao, yet the Dao goes beyond just cultivation. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Hearing this, Dantai Luoxue was startled for a moment, then bowed her head in contemplation.

Cultivation is one kind of Dao, yet the Dao goes beyond just cultivation...

It could be likened to the Dao being the myriad paths one could walk in life, with cultivation merely being one of those pathways, but still many other pathways could be walked.

Was her master suggesting that her idea to forge a different path was viable?

Dantai Luoxue's eyes brightened.

"Respected Master, your disciple understands!"

Dantai Luoxue said softly.

Your disciple understands...

For some reason,

Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, with a sense of foreboding.

"What do you understand?"

Chu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"I understand what you said, Master, that there are countless Daos, and cultivation is just one of them. Aside from cultivation, there are many other paths! In a time when the path of cultivation is blocked, you've clearly told us to pursue other paths. But there are no scriptures to refer to for these other paths, and although it's difficult to blaze a new trail, it is the most suitable for us..."

Dantai Luoxue blinked and spoke her mind.

Chu Yuan listened, completely dumbfounded.

Were these my words??

Why can't I understand them???

Who's hoodwinking whom here...

Chu Yuan felt uncomfortable.

Could this be what a true genius is?

Then was he not a genius?

But he really couldn't do it, just spout some nonsense and come up with so much on the fly.

Moreover, it seemed that Dantai Luo Xue truly understood.

Why didn't he understand?

Never mind the words spoken by Dantai Luo Xue, even the nonsense he spouted himself was something he didn't understand.

Everyone was a genius, so why was the gap so large?

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and steadied his emotions.

On the other side, Dantai Luo Xue, having explained everything, looked towards her Respected Master.

"Respected Master, did your disciple understand correctly?"

Dantai Luo Xue asked eagerly.

"Not bad, you have some talent, but compared to your eldest senior brother, the gap is still vast."

Chu Yuan said with an apparently casual and serene tone.

Inwardly, he quietly suppressed his emotions.

This was the future disciple he was supposed to doom to failure.

He couldn't erupt with emotion.

He had to endure!

"Eldest senior brother? Is that the Array Master you're speaking of?"

Dantai Luo Xue asked with curiosity.

"No, you have three senior brothers above you. That guy is the second eldest, but even he falls far short of your eldest senior brother. Your talent is the worst, so you must cultivate diligently."

Chu Yuan spoke quietly.

His goal was clear.

To deal a blow to this female disciple.

Calling you a genius, making you belittle me.

Now it's my turn to belittle you, isn't it?

However, Dantai Luo Xue standing in the center of the hall didn't show any signs of being struck by his words; instead, she seemed rather intrigued.

The fact that she had three senior brothers with greater talents didn't affect her at all.

Instead, it piqued her interest.

The second senior brother was already forging his own path.

Then surely, the eldest senior brother must have carved out his path too, right?

Perhaps the third senior brother had done the same.

With three senior brothers having experienced opening up another path, Dantai Luo Xue felt that forging her unique path would be somewhat easier.

"Your disciple shall heed Respected Master's wishes and cultivate diligently,"

Dantai Luo Xue said respectfully after giving a formal bow.

"Hmm, all right. Now, Luo Xue tell me, what path do you wish to cultivate? To phrase it differently, what do you wish to use to embark on the Immortal Path? Your eldest senior brother entered the path through the sword, your second senior brother through formations, your third senior brother with his... cough, with Embodied Cultivation. What do you wish to use to embark upon the Path?"

Chu Yuan slowly asked.

He didn't want to continue chatting with this talented disciple.

Talking with such a person was too exhausting.

He couldn't tell if he was hoodwinking her or if she was hoodwinking him.

It seemed better to just cook up something and have the disciple cultivate it recklessly.

"Respected Master, your disciple wants to enter the Path through chess. Do you think that's feasible?"

Dantai Luo Xue hesitated before asking.

Upon hearing these words.

The initially somewhat weary Chu Yuan instantly revitalized.

The Path through chess??

Could chess pieces actually be used for cultivation?

If it had been about pills, artifacts, or talismans, Chu Yuan might have worried that she might actually cultivate something significant.

But chess for cultivation?

That he was completely unconcerned about.

Chu Yuan had never heard of anyone cultivating through chess pieces.

This time it was in the bag, completely secure!

He had this minor cultivation realm in the palm of his hand!

Chu Yuan was overflowing with confidence.

If chess pieces could be used for cultivation,

then he could perform a handstand and swallow a chessboard!

"Good! Entering the Path through chess! Good, that's great! Luo Xue, you are a person full of ideas, much more so than your senior brothers!"

Chu Yuan revealed a bright smile.

This disciple who could come up with the idea of cultivating through chess was truly excellent.

He would take a dozen more disciples like her!
