Chapter 488: Heavenly Illusion
Chapter 488: Heavenly Illusion
Cui Shuyin stood there for a few breaths before sighing in defeat. She shook her head as it had been a while since she felt defeated morally. She went back to the cave and landed in front of it silently while hiding herself completely so that he couldn’t sense her.
This way she could keep an eye on his condition without him knowing about it.
"You are back, Elder Cui..." Lin Feng, who was drawing something on the ice, spoke with a smiling tone.
Cui Shuyin’s expression changed immediately. She was certain that there was no way Lin Feng would be able to sense her even if he used spiritual sense, which wasn’t even possible to use in his current situation.
"How did you sense me?"
There are various techniques to sense someone, but none of them would work in this restricted cave, so how did he find her out?
Cui Shuyin wondered if he had again just bluffed, knowing that she wouldn’t truly leave.
Lin Feng smiled silently, "Your fragrance is quite breathtaking, so it is hard not to notice you when you are so close..."
Cui Shuyin squinted her eyes slightly. It was a blatant lie since her technique masked everything, so there was no way he would have picked up her scent. Not to mention the way he mentioned it, was he trying to flirt with her?
"So now you will lie blatantly to my face..."
"I am not lying..." Lin Feng shook his head. He could tell her that it was her sensuality that he was talking about, but that would not be a good idea. He didn’t even know about her personality deeply, so it was best not to get on her bad side.
Cui Shuyin’s brows furrowed, thinking if he really was speaking the truth. She instinctively took a deep breath to see if there was really any fragrance wafting from her body, but she found nothing.
"Elder Cui, forget it, you won’t find it..." Lin Feng had a little smile on his face as he kept drawing something on the ice.
"So you won’t even accept that you are lying, and you won’t even explain to me how you found me due to my fragrance. Is this one of your secrets too?" Cui Shuyin sighed.
Lin Feng nodded, "You can consider it that way for the time being..."
Cui Shuyin shook her head and decided not to pursue this matter. "What are you drawing on the ice?"
"Well... since you don’t trust me, I was coming up with a way to make you trust me..."
Cui Shuyin got baffled, "Stop slandering me, I do trust you, it’s just that you are too unreasonable sometimes..."
"So me having a higher grade array is unreasonable for you, Elder Cui?" Lin Feng spoke with a little saddened tone.
Cui Shuyin was left without words at his obvious tone. She was quite sure that he was acting, "If you want me to feel bad, then you succeeded. Fine, forgive me for doubting Young Master. Now if you are done enjoying your punishment, then can we leave? Who knows, Xiu’er might be worried for you..."
Now it was Lin Feng’s turn to get tongue-tied. If it was someone else with her realm, then they would never ask for forgiveness even if it was just meant as a joke. She really didn’t care about her status.
Lin Feng smiled, and after drawing the last rune, he stood up and turned around to look at her.
Cui Shuyin squinted her eyes again looking at his smile and snorted, "Humph! At least try to stay sad to make it a little believable..."
She turned her gaze to the ground and looked at what he had drawn.
It took her a little while to understand the small diagram on the ice which was shining with a slight hue. Her breath quickened, and she entered inside the cave to look at it better.
It was an array diagram, and it wasn’t just some ordinary array diagram, it belonged to the Dominion Realm. The slight hue was proof of its grade from the Heavenly Law itself.
No doubt it was just an imitation, and someone couldn’t draw the real array from just looking at it, but there was also no doubt that the diagram itself was enough to reach the Dominion Realm, or else Heavenly Law wouldn’t have accepted its existence.
Cui Shuyin smiled bitterly before waving her hand, erasing the array diagram on the ice, "If I ask just who you really are, Feng’er, then you are going to avoid it again, right?"
Drawing an imitation array diagram of the Dominion Realm was impossible for an Initiation Realm cultivator.
It didn’t mean that the array diagram was impossibly complex, it was just another type of cultivation realm restriction which made the array diagram look like an illusion for those who were too weak, meaning they would never be able to see the exact diagram unless their strength reached close to Dominion Realm. The purpose of the small hue surrounding the array was exactly for that restriction.
Cui Shuyin looked at Lin Feng, and seeing that he was standing with a small smile on his lips made her understand that he wasn’t going to explain any of this.
She wanted to say quite a lot now, but she decided to ask for forgiveness first, "Forgive me for not believing you, Feng’er..."
Lin Feng shook his head, "No need to ask for forgiveness, Elder Cui, we have just met, and it is good to be a little skeptical of each other. There is no need to believe everything blindly, and I know my claims are impossible to believe given my realm..."
Cui Shuyin nodded in approval, "I was dreading that maybe I got another headache to handle after Xiu’er, but it seems you really are far more mature for your age, Feng’er. Good to know that..."
Cui Shuyin grabbed his shoulder, and they came into the sky above the mountain where the cave was.
"Feng’er, I know that you are not going to tell me how you were able to see through the illusion of Heavenly Law itself since it’s impossible through and through, but remember not to mention it to anyone else, no matter what. Being too mysterious can attract unwanted eyes."
