Chapter 1260 Divination and Calculation

"I don't know what your intention is, please explain it to me."

After Zhou Yiqiao lowered his head and pondered for a while, he still bowed to the middle-aged man obediently and asked about his true intentions.

You know exactly how many secrets he has. Instead of admitting your mistakes and exposing secrets that the other person may not know yet, it is better to take the initiative to let the other person tell you what went wrong.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a smile, as if he was not surprised that Zhou Yiqiao did this.

He just stared at Zhou Yiqiao without saying anything until Zhou Yiqiao felt a chill all over his body. Then the middle-aged man finally spoke in a very calm voice.

"In fact, before I went to Wentian Pavilion and Xianxin Tower to retrieve the information about the three of you, I had already roughly guessed your identities."

"Not only do I know that you are from Qinjian Villa, I also know that your purpose here is to disrupt the nearby cultivation world, so as to take advantage of the situation and seize cultivation resources, right?"

"this......"

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked, but he tried to remain calm. He was secretly surprised at the insight of the senior in front of him.

He originally thought that with the help of the Samsara Monument and the secret techniques of Qinjian Villa, the three of them would be able to hide their whereabouts in this world of cultivation. However, he did not expect that this senior, whom he met for the first time, could actually see through their purpose so accurately.

"I wonder how the senior knew about our plan?"

Zhou Yiqiao still didn't believe it and didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he asked tentatively, hoping to break the senior's guess and continue to hide.

The middle-aged man smiled but said nothing.

"Are you still wondering why I know what you've been through all these years?"

Zhou Yiqiao didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either.

The man chuckled, then reached out and touched the wooden table in front of him.

The next moment, three copper coins appeared on the table.

The style of the copper coin was extremely ordinary, with four large seal characters engraved on the surface. It was obviously a common object that the other party had casually obtained from a dynasty in the mortal world.

But at this moment, these three copper coins made of worldly gold and iron kept turning on the table in a regular rhythm, until they stopped completely after six times.

"Life is hard in the mountains. Apart from practicing and comprehending the way of the sword, my only hobby is divination and calculation."

"Although my methods are crude, my accumulated experience has allowed me to figure out some tricks in this area."

As soon as he finished speaking, six hexagrams appeared on the table. The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a smile and told him a message that made Zhou Yiqiao feel cold all over.

"The hexagram shows that the reason you are reluctant to answer is because you are holding a rare secret treasure, and you are afraid that it will be exposed after talking to me and I will take it away."

Zhou Yiqiao's pupils trembled, obviously forcibly suppressing the body's instinctive panic reaction.

He lowered his head slightly so as not to let the person in front of him see his expression, and answered in a calm voice.

"Senior, why did you say this?"

"I really don't know what's wrong with me."

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Yiqiao, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

He waved his hand gently, as if he didn't care about Zhou Yiqiao's denial.

"It's okay. I have no intention of trying to find out about your chances."

"After cultivating to this level, any opportunities are useless. Don't worry, I won't compete with a junior like you."

There was a hint of helplessness in the man's words. Although Zhou Yiqiao did not understand the deep meaning behind them, he always felt that they seemed to be closely related to immortality.

However, at this moment Zhou Yiqiao had no intention of delving into the meaning of his senior's words. His mind was filled with whether the other party had discovered the Moonstone Space, his most important secret.

The middle-aged man did not get angry when he saw that Zhou Yiqiao did not believe him.

"You are such a coward, kid."

He stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the mountains in the distance. In order to prevent Zhou Yiqiao from staying with him in fear, he directly stated his purpose.

"I'm not telling you all this to threaten you or make you three give up what you're doing now."

"On the contrary, I not only encourage you to continue, but also let Li Mubai work with you to gain experience."

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly stunned, looked up at the middle-aged man, and the fear in his eyes turned into confusion.

In his opinion, as a secluded sect, the Tijian Sect should avoid external disputes as much as possible. Why would it take the initiative to let its disciples be involved in the turmoil of the cultivation world?

The middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated Zhou Yiqiao's thoughts, turned around and continued speaking.

"Mu Bai has been an orphan since he was young. I picked him up and brought him back to the Tijian Sect on a snowy day when I was traveling in the mortal world."

"He is gifted and intelligent, and has a strong character. He can comprehend the essence of even the most profound sword intent in a short period of time."

"But perhaps because he was lonely since childhood, Mu Bai has been practicing and studying swordsmanship all day since he entered the path of immortality. He rarely communicates with his fellow disciples in the sect."

"When the secret realm was revealed this time, I randomly made up a reason for him to practice Dragon Roar Sword Intent. Although he nearly died, I could clearly see his changes after coming into contact with the three of you."

"After returning from the secret realm, he learned how to get along with his fellow disciples in the sect. What's more rare is that there is a hint of humanity in his eyes that he never had before."

"For sword cultivators, it is not enough to possess superb sword skills. The perfection of one's mind and the understanding of all things in the world are the key elements to improving the sword."

"Therefore, I hope that you can take Mu Bai with you in your next actions, so that he can see what kind of mental outlook the young generation, who are at the age of genius, have."

"Among the three of you, Zhou Yiqiao is the most grassroots. I believe that Mu Bai will be able to change his current situation if he follows you."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

He was surprised at the middle-aged man's deep feelings for Li Mubai, but he was secretly glad that he and others were not completely seen through.

As for the secret of the Moonstone Space, he kept it carefully in his heart and dared not reveal it at all.

"What you said is absolutely right. Brother Li Mubai is indeed a rare sword genius. We have benefited a lot from traveling with him."

Zhou Yiqiao answered respectfully, with a hint of sincerity in his words.

"Since the senior is willing to help Brother Mu Bai gain experience, we will do our best to help, but..."

Having said that, Zhou Yiqiao paused for a moment, as if he had some concerns, but finally he mustered up the courage to speak.

"It's just that the situation in the cultivation world is complex and changeable. Although we want to help, we are afraid that we are not strong enough. If we cause trouble to Brother Mu Bai, it will go against the original intention of the senior."
