Chapter 66 Xiao Zhao
Wei Yixiao drew a perfect arc in the air before landing in a disheveled manner.
Chen Yuan silently withdrew his foot, then turned to Yin Tianzheng, his expression unchanged.
It was as if he wasn't the one who had just kicked the person away.
"Let's get down to business."
Yin Tianzheng glanced at Wei Yixiao, who was rubbing his buttocks and grimacing, out of the corner of his eye, and felt a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
Rumors in the martial arts world say that Chen Yuan succeeded by taking advantage of the firearms and the carelessness of Abbess Miejue.
But that kick was fast, accurate, and steady, with its power contained yet not revealed, making it impossible for even a master like Wei Yixiao to avoid.
Therefore, the rumors are not credible.
"Young Master Chen..."
Yin Tianzheng was unsure what to call Chen Yuan, who was considered a member of the Ming Cult, so he simply continued to use the previous "young hero".
He composed himself and said seriously.
"As I just said, none of us in the Ming Cult can speak Persian."
"If we want to translate the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth mental technique, we'll probably have to wait for someone from the Persian headquarters to come."
"Wait for them?"
Chen Yuan interrupted him rudely, his face clearly saying, "Are you kidding me?"
"By the time the Persian leaders arrive, the Ming Cult will be doomed."
"I ask you, Eagle King, do you have a maid named Xiao Zhao under your command?"
He pointed at Zhang Wuji.
"He should be about the same age as him."
Chen Yuan didn't really remember the age difference between Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao; he was just trying anything.
If Xiao Zhao had not yet joined the sect at this time, then the martial art of Qiankun Great Shift would have to wait until later.
Yin Tianzheng's pupils contracted slightly, his shock growing even greater.
How did you know?
A few days ago, a group of maids were indeed sent to the main altar, and they were all about the same age as Zhang Wuji.
And inside, there happened to be a maid named Xiao Zhao.
Yin Tianzheng was increasingly alarmed; how could Chen Yuan seem to be a prophet?
Is there some kind of divination method in this world that can predict the past and future?
Or is it that the Ming Cult has been completely infiltrated by Chen Yuan?
Chen Yuan remained calm and composed.
"As I just said, I know a lot of things about this world."
"Call her over here."
Yin Tianzheng immediately guessed Chen Yuan's meaning.
"You mean, this Xiao Zhao speaks Persian?"
"certainly."
Yin Tianzheng's face immediately darkened, and doubts arose in his mind.
Women in China who are fluent in Persian are extremely rare.
If this woman is truly skilled, her origins and motives are definitely not simple.
He called out in a deep voice towards the outside of the hall, "Guards!"
A member of the church entered in response.
"Go and bring over the new maidservant named Xiao Zhao."
"immediately!"
The followers obeyed and left.
A short while later, a member of the church led a girl in.
The girl was about the same age as Zhang Wuji.
Although she was dressed simply and had her head down, one could still see that she had delicate features and was a beauty in the making.
Yin Tianzheng's sharp gaze was fixed on her like that of a hawk, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
Xiao Zhao seemed to sense something and nervously performed a bow, her voice barely audible.
"This maid, Xiao Zhao, greets the Eagle King."
At this moment, Wei Yixiao also rubbed his waist and came over, grimacing and sucking in air while looking Xiao Zhao up and down with an inquisitive gaze.
"Is this the maid who speaks Persian?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao's petite body trembled violently.
Without even thinking, he turned and ran out of the hall, his movements as fast as a startled rabbit.
However, she had only taken two steps when everything went blurry.
Chen Yuan had already calmly blocked their way, and said with a grin.
"Why are you running away? You haven't even said what you wanted!"
Xiao Zhao stopped in her tracks, her pretty face instantly draining of color.
She glanced at Chen Yuan, who was blocking her way, and then at Yin Tianzheng, whose face was ashen, and Wei Yixiao, who had a playful expression on his face. She knew that she probably wouldn't be able to get away today, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
Yin Tianzheng strode over and asked coldly.
"Speak! Who exactly are you?"
"Why do you know Persian?"
"What is your purpose in infiltrating my Ming Cult?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand as he asked three questions in a row.
"Hey!"
"Eagle King, you're being too polite. Strictly speaking, she's actually a member of the Ming Cult."
"Um?"
Yin Tianzheng looked puzzled.
Where does this come from?
Wei Yixiao also came over.
"She is indeed a member of the Ming Cult now, but she has ulterior motives."
"No, no, no."
Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"You all know her mother."
"Do we all know each other?"
Yin Tianzheng frowned, his gaze searching Xiao Zhao's face carefully, but he had no recollection of her.
"I don't remember."
"Her mother is none other than Dai Qisi, the Purple-Robed Dragon King!"
Chen Yuan revealed Xiao Zhao's biggest secret in one sentence, which surprised everyone present.
"What?!"
Xiao Zhao's face grew even paler, and she closed her eyes.
Chen Yuan continues to reveal more information.
"She infiltrated the Ming Cult specifically for the 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth' mental cultivation manual."
"How could she possibly not understand Persian?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao opened her eyes again, staring at Chen Yuan with a bright and charming expression, her little fists clenched tightly.
Chen Yuan was amused.
"What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"
Xiao Zhao turned her face to the side, refusing to speak as if in a huff, but her slightly trembling shoulders betrayed her nervousness.
Yin Tianzheng snapped out of his shock and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you really Daisy's daughter?"
Xiao Zhao pursed her lips tightly, refusing to answer, looking stubborn.
Chen Yuan also crossed his arms.
"Eagle King, you all go and rest first. I'll ask her to teach me some Persian."
After Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, and the others left, Xiao Zhao immediately spoke first.
"Forget about it, there's no way I'm going to teach you Persian."
"real?"
Chen Yuan wasn't angry; he slowly threw out his bait.
"What if I could help you find your mother, Daisy?"
"impossible!"
A flicker of anticipation flashed in Xiao Zhao's eyes.
But she immediately shook her head vigorously, stubbornly insisting.
"You're lying, I don't even know where she is."
"I know."
Chen Yuan casually uttered three words before turning around and walking in the direction Yin Tianzheng and the others had left without hesitation.
Xiao Zhao, who was waiting for Chen Yuan to continue, was dumbfounded.
She thought Chen Yuan would continue to persuade her or negotiate, but she didn't expect him to leave so decisively.
Xiao Zhao quickly chased after him.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"You're not going to learn Persian anymore?"
Chen Yuan ignored her and kept walking.
"Hello!"
Xiao Zhao panicked and ran to Chen Yuan, spreading her arms to block him.
"Do you really know where my mother is?"
"Of course I know."
"Then I'll teach you Persian, and you can help me find my mother."
"Let's see how well you finish."
"No!"
Xiao Zhao's stubbornness flared up.
"You have to promise me, or what if you lie to me?"
Chen Yuan immediately bypassed her and headed towards Yin Tianzheng and the others.
Xiao Zhao: "..."
Seeing Chen Yuan's back, which showed no sign of lingering, her little scheme and persistence completely collapsed.
"Fine, I'll teach you!"
Chen Yuan stopped and called out to Yin Tianzheng.
"Eagle King, bring me pen and ink!"
He was going to memorize the Persian script of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!
