Chapter 140 Inquiry (Four Updates)_1
In the agonized cries of the evil cultivator, Zhang Lan and his two companions looked at Mo Hua with even more complex emotions.
Mo Hua wiped Zhang Lan’s sword on the ground, but the bloodstains remained, not wiped away.
Zhang Lan sighed, helplessly took the sword back, and slid it directly into its sheath.
“Alright, it’s done now, we can go back.”
Then, still led by Mo Hua, Zhang Lan and his two companions took turns dragging the evil cultivator down the mountain path.
As for whether the evil cultivator would die from the rough handling, they were too lazy to care.
If he didn’t die, good fortune was on his side; if he did, he got what he deserved.
On the way, Situ Fang couldn’t help but praise:
“Mo Hua, your movement technique is amazing!”
She had been watching from the side, sweating from fear.
When she saw Mo Hua successfully evade the evil cultivator’s attacks each time, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but admire him.
Mo Hua felt quite pleased on the inside, but he humbly said:
“Where, it’s just average.”
“Who taught you?” Situ Fang asked.
Zhang Lan coughed a few times.
Mo Hua glanced at him and said in a straightforward manner, “A passing, unnamed, kindly uncle taught me…”
Situ Fang asked doubtfully, “There’s such a person?”
After thinking for a bit, she whispered to Zhang Lan, “It looks to me… why does it resemble the Water Passing Step of the Zhang Family so much?”
Zhang Lan choked and coughed several times before finally catching his breath, and hurriedly said:
“Do not smear someone’s innocence, Water Passing Step? Where does it resemble?”
Situ Fang nodded, “It really doesn’t seem quite right, the Water Passing Step of the Zhang Family isn’t that impressive.”
Zhang Lan grew discontented, “How can the Water Passing Step of the Zhang Family not be impressive? This is…”
Situ Fang looked at him.
Zhang Lan’s voice weakened as he said:
“It is… maybe just a tiny bit better than our Zhang Family’s Water Passing Step.”
Zhang Lan was also confused in his heart.
The Zhang Family had two movement techniques, Falling Flower and Water Passing; one set was Falling Flower Steps, the other Water Passing Step.
He primarily practiced Falling Flower Steps, but he was also proficient in Water Passing Step and had seen other cultivators in the Zhang Family, who specialized in Water Passing Step, use it, but none of them used it as…
As effortlessly, as unpredictably, with a bit of a devious and mysterious…
“How did I teach him again?”
Zhang Lan frowned, somewhat unable to remember, and mumbled to himself:
“Did I teach him Water Passing Step? It should be right…”
While Zhang Lan’s thoughts were in disarray, Mo Hua heard a faint thank you, as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
He turned his head to see Situ Xiu with a flickering gaze, but also with a stubborn face.
Clearly she wanted to give thanks but felt too embarrassed, so her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s.
She had been confident and arrogant when they ascended the mountain, but after a few injuries and bloodshed, she now seemed much more reserved.
Mo Hua nodded, feeling somewhat gratified.
Indeed, young people who experience setbacks tend to grow.
Yet he had forgotten that he was even younger, not even qualifying as a young man.
As they walked down the mountain path, Zhang Lan was still troubled by the matter of Water Passing Step.
He went over and over the scene in his mind of Mo Hua dealing with the evil cultivator just moments ago.
He carefully compared Mo Hua’s Water Passing Step with the version from his memory.
The basic steps were the same, but the minute nuances of each movement were more refined, and some moves were streamlined, eliminating unnecessary actions. It seemed Mo Hua had learned something else from someone…
Why was it that the same movements looked completely different?
Zhang Lan thought about it and suddenly realized, “Could it be Divine Sense…?”
Because the Divine Sense was strong enough, the control of Spiritual Power was fine and nuanced, making the movement technique more elusive and varied.
The cultivators of the Zhang Family were not good at Formation, they had weak Divine Senses, so they failed to grasp the essence of this movement technique, making it seem rather mediocre.
“It’s over!” Zhang Lan felt a chill in his heart.
When he taught Mo Hua the movement technique, he thought Mo Hua would just learn it casually and not master it very well.
