Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1225 - 542: Strolling Leisurely Together Into the Great Array
Listening to Qingnv’s muttering, the Taiyin Fairy shook her head and transmitted a message: "This Master Zheng wants to leave himself; otherwise, is he waiting here to die?"
"True."
"It’s just too much of a waste of time." The Taiyin Fairy was a bit impatient, "If he keeps being stubborn, and consistently performs poorly within the Array, we should continue our deductions by ourselves."
Looking at Zheng Fa, who stood still like a dumb goose, Qingnv nodded in agreement, her expression solemn: "The Water Mother... is still waiting for us."
She was about to speak when Lord Nichang seemed to realize something, and transmitted a message to the two: "Please, allow Master Zheng to try again."
"Hmm?"
The Taiyin Fairy and Qingnv looked towards Lord Nichang.
"Lady Taiyin, Lady Qingnv..." Lord Nichang lowered her head, appearing a bit uneasy, "Master Zheng is not someone without a plan; there must be a reason for his actions."
"..."
"I ask that the two of you, for the sake of this disciple, grant Master Zheng some more time." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The Taiyin Fairy and Qingnv exchanged glances, looked at Lord Nichang, and frowned in deep confusion: "What kind of enchanting soup has Zheng Fa given you? He’s merely an Independent Immortal, it’s reasonable if he can’t break the Array, and I will not blame him, but he’s delaying our deductions."
Lord Nichang shook her head slightly, very candid: "This disciple can’t say for certain either."
"Please be discerning, my lords. This disciple was the first in Turquoise Pool to contact Jiushan Sect. I understand Master Zheng and Jiushan Sect very well."
"The more you understand, the more you trust..."
Lord Nichang looked at the Taiyin Fairy, her tone with a hint of plea: "Master Zheng is the most reliable ally I have encountered, and I am willing to stake my life as a guarantee for him."
The Taiyin Fairy remained silent for a moment, nodded towards Qingnv, neither speaking, just continuing to watch Zheng Fa observe the Array within the Chaos.
Time and again.
Zheng Fa still did not just stand still like before, only to be flung away by the Great Array.
The Taiyin Fairy shook her head frequently, then looked at Lord Nichang, who also bit her lip, seemingly a bit anxious.
...
In the Jiushan Realm, the Heavenly Emperor’s body looked at Senior Sister Zhang and asked: "Is the model constructed?"
Senior Sister Zhang didn’t answer, just confidently pointed to the Array Plate at her side, from which thirty-six flying stars emerged, identical to those in front of Zheng Fa.
...
"Once more."
Zheng Fa closed and opened his eyes, seeing two scenes before him, one where the Heavenly Emperor’s body held the Heavenly Inference Array Plate, the other of the chaos before him.
Even the Taiyin Fairy has grown numb, not watching him, just pointing a finger, causing three planets to fly towards Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa glanced and stepped forward.
The three, Taiyin Fairy included, were startled, all looked towards Zheng Fa, for this was the first time he moved after so many attempts!
"That’s right!"
Qingnv initially exclaimed in surprise, then covered her mouth, as if afraid of disturbing Zheng Fa.
Lord Nichang looked at Zheng Fa, undistracted, her expression joyful.
"Please, Fairy, add one more."
Zheng Fa, in the Array, was very calm, and even had a hint of courtesy in his tone.
The Taiyin Fairy did not speak, just pointed a finger, and another star flew towards Zheng Fa.
"Right again!"
Despite not wanting to disturb Zheng Fa, Qingnv couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed and sigh softly.
"Please add another..."
"Please come again..."
"Please add..."
"Please..."
The Taiyin Fairy said nothing, her gaze growing increasingly bright, until she finally spoke: "The eighth one!"
Qingnv and Lord Nichang exchanged glances, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Previously, they had tried so many times and, at most, managed to reach the eighth move.
Even this accomplishment was a fleeting one, with much due to luck, not truly breaking the Array, merely like a blind cat bumping into a dead rat.
But now, Zheng Fa inexplicably gave them a feeling— he could do it.
Zheng Fa looked up at the star approaching him, his body turned effortlessly, standing at the Life Gate position.
"..." The Taiyin Fairy’s pupils contracted as if finally realizing something, and she softly said, "He’s waiting."
"Waiting?"
"He... stood at the Life Gate position faster than those planets."
"..."
Qingnv and the others started, carefully watching Zheng Fa’s movements, only then realizing the clue— even if the difference was just a moment, with their cultivation, they could clearly judge that Zheng Fa indeed moved a step faster than those stars.
He wasn’t breaking the Array; it was like he was leading the dance, moving leisurely to a position. These stars were his most obedient dance partners, flying with his intention around him.
"This..." Qingnv couldn’t help but look at those stars and asked, "Did he cast a spell on these stars?"
The Taiyin Fairy shook her head, unsure if she was denying it or didn’t understand either.
"Please add another..."
Looking at Zheng Fa’s leisurely demeanor within the Array, Qingnv softly muttered, even gritting her teeth a little: "So easy for him... what was all our previous suffering for?"
"..."
The Taiyin Fairy also remained silent, only speaking after a long while: "This Master Zheng... no wonder Nichang trusts him so much."
Qingnv glanced at Lord Nichang, seeing her watching Zheng Fa with animated joy, feeling honored, and nodded: "She indeed has good taste."
The three watched as more and more stars surrounded Zheng Fa, yet his movements remained so graceful, without slowing down in cracking the Array. Just as the Taiyin Fairy had observed before, with Senior Sister Zhang’s deductions, Zheng Fa even knew their trajectories earlier than the stars!
The Taiyin Fairy suddenly furrowed her brow, "Would he be willing to help us?"
Qingnv was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.
After all, this Master Zheng wasn’t a person of the Turquoise Pool; their encounter was more like a chance meeting, and when it came to friendship and trust, Qingnv and Zheng Fa had none at all.
