Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 71 Calculating Heaven, Calculating Earth, Calculating Everything
"Wan Hongxin! You are going too far! Fine, this old man will experience the power of your Flowing Gold Sword!"
As he spoke, Duanmu He thrust his sword towards Wan Hongxin.
"Well done!"
Wan Hongxin laughed loudly and met Duanmu He's sword.
...
Wan Lei and the other three desperately fled far away. Tian Suanzi couldn't help but look back and saw Wan Hongxin fighting with Duanmu He, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
The four of them fled a long way, twisting and turning, before finally stopping to rest in a small karst cave.
"Hahaha, great! Duanmu He has been stopped by Wan Hongxin. We are finally saved!"
Tian Suanzi was overjoyed.
Wan Lei echoed his words, "Yes, the Wan and Duanmu families have always been at odds. I don't think Wan Hongxin will easily let Duanmu He come over. We are temporarily safe."
Qi Manyao pursed her lips. She wouldn't lie, but Sui Xiaohang would.
"Yes, this time we owe the Wan family a favor. We must thank Senior Wan in person when we meet him in the future."
"Hey, it's only natural for a father to save his son. What's there to thank?"
Tian Suanzi waved his hand and said with a smile.
Wan Lei's heart tightened upon hearing this, and the lightning power in his body quietly gathered, ready to attack Tian Suanzi at any moment.
Sui Xiaohang and Qi Manyao also fell silent instantly, staring straight at Tian Suanzi.
"What? Am I wrong, Young Master Wan Lei?"
Tian Suanzi had a gentle smile on his lips, and there was not a trace of hostility on his face.
"To be precise, you were still half-convinced before, and only after testing our reactions did you confirm that I was Wan Lei, right?"
Wan Lei said in a deep voice.
What he was referring to was the tense reaction of the three of them after Tian Suanzi said that it was only natural for a father to save his son.
"No, I never test others, especially my own partners. I revealed your identity just because I think it's better to be honest as partners.
I don't want to have that feeling of everyone harboring their own agendas. You hide your identity from me, and I pretend not to know yours, scheming against each other. Just thinking about it is annoying."
Tian Suanzi casually found a stone and sat down, taking out a Bagua compass and playing with it.
Wan Lei thought for a moment after hearing this, and felt that what the other party said made sense. He was indeed an honest person.
He could have completely kept his identity a secret and continued to pretend, which wouldn't have aroused his hostility.
But by revealing it, he lost one of his trump cards.
This person is indeed trustworthy.
Tian Suanzi played with the compass and said, "Actually, who you are doesn't matter. What matters is your ability and character. What matters is that we trust each other.
When I, Tian Suanzi, make friends, I never look at whether the other person has money. Anyway, they are all richer than me."
Wan Lei couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand at Qi Manyao and Sui Xiaohang, saying, "Don't be nervous, sit down and rest."
Then, Wan Lei looked at Tian Suanzi: "Tell me, how did you discover my identity?"
Tian Suanzi smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's very simple. Let me give you a question.
In Guannan and Qishan counties, how many Lei-attribute cultivators are there?"
"Who can count that clearly?"
"Then, how about those whose weapon is a hammer?"
"There are many of those too, right?"
"How about those who can easily kill a Foundation Establishment Stage upper level with a Foundation Establishment Stage lower level cultivation base?"
"There aren't many of those. They are rare. Only major forces can occasionally produce such a heaven-defying figure."
Hearing this, Tian Suanzi smiled leisurely and said, "Then, how about those who can get Wan Hongxin to personally rescue them?"
...
This time, Wan Lei was completely speechless.
"What about combining these four points?"
Tian Suanzi said again.
Without answering, everyone knew that there was only one person: Wan Lei!
"However, I don't think that Duanmu He recognized you. You should have disguised yourself, but Duanmu He also saw what I just said.
Except for the fact that you killed Duanmu Ao, he might think that I killed Duanmu Ao, after all, I am the only one in our group who is at the upper level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
He probably won't think you are Wan Lei in a short time.
Later, if you attack again, without your father helping you, you can barely pretend.
So don't worry too much."
Tian Suanzi continued to speak while playing with the compass.
"Thank you, friend, for clearing up my confusion."
Wan Lei cupped his fist at Tian Suanzi solemnly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Just give me five thousand spirit stones as a reward."
Tian Suanzi smiled extremely lewdly.
"You don't even want a bit of face, do you? Do the three of us have a thousand spirit stones combined? And you want five thousand? Why don't you just rob us?"
Sui Xiaohang spat fiercely and said.
Tian Suanzi didn't mind and laughed, saying, "What about you two? What are your names?"
"Sui Xiaohang."
"Qi Manyao."
"Ah, never heard of you."
After Tian Suanzi finished speaking, he continued to play with the compass without even raising his head, making Sui Xiaohang and Qi Manyao grit their teeth in anger.
"I say... what are you doing with that compass all the time?"
Wan Lei asked angrily.
"Calculating the direction, calculating the luck, calculating the route to the Lightning Refining Pool."
Tian Suanzi said.
"Can this thing also be calculated with a compass? Shouldn't we go out and find the way?"
Qi Manyao widened her eyes and asked curiously.
"Of course, this poor Taoist's Daoist name is Tian Suanzi, calculating heaven, calculating earth, calculating everything, and calculating without omission!"
Tian Suanzi stroked his beard, his nostrils facing the sky, looking like an otherworldly expert.
"Then what have you calculated?"
Wan Lei had a mocking smile on his lips. He didn't believe in such charlatans.
"Of course I've calculated it. Who is this poor Taoist? The only worldly successor of the Tianji Pavilion... let's not talk about that. This poor Taoist has calculated the location of the Lightning Refining Pool. It's three miles to the north, and I've also calculated the only route to get there."
Tian Suanzi said triumphantly.
"Oh, not bad. How credible is it? Don't lead us into a pit."
Wan Lei sat on the stone with a look of disdain, crossing his legs leisurely.
Looking at his appearance, it was clear that he still didn't believe Tian Suanzi's words.
"Hmph, Young Master Lei, although my cultivation is still shallow, and I can't calculate many profound celestial secrets and destinies, as long as I can calculate something, it is foolproof and absolutely accurate.
As the saying goes, 'If you ask about a divination, then believe in the divination.' Since you don't believe it, why bother asking for a divination?"
Tian Suanzi retorted coldly, somewhat unconvinced.
"Tch, mumbling old swindler, then you should calculate your own fortune, calculate the good and bad of this trip, and calculate when you can break through to the Core Formation Stage."
Wan Lei sneered.
"This poor Taoist also calculated it just now. This trip has a hundred auspicious signs and one ominous sign. As long as we can overcome that danger, everything will be auspicious afterward. Although it won't be great wealth and glory, it will still be a great opportunity."
