CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 282: DOG PULLING LILY_2

The vortex absorbed the faceless Taoist who had been split in half.

However, after the faceless Taoist disappeared, Zhuge Ye turned his head to look in the direction of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, his expression strange.

After Xiaomei swung her punch, she didn’t move again. There was a ding-dong sound at her feet as another melted Thousand Mechanism Talisman Array fell to the ground.

For a moment, the venue quieted down, with Zhuge Ye staring blankly in the direction of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

Xiaomei, on the other hand, bowed her head, looking conflicted at the Thousand Mechanism Talisman Array fragments at her feet.

Then, the two of them raised their hands almost simultaneously, but Xiaomei’s movement was a fraction faster.

"I concede," Xiaomei said.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the audience. Everyone was enjoying themselves, so why did the two stop fighting without even a scratch?

"Refund! Refu..." Someone was about to take the opportunity to create a fuss, but instantly realized they were being watched by several formidable figures, immediately falling silent.

His friend beside him slapped him, "They didn’t take your money, what refund are you talking about?"

Song Chang didn’t pay attention to the commotion around him; he continued to stare at Xiaomei’s punch glove and her two Thousand Mechanism Puppets.

Craving them badly.

"Second Master, Second Master," Song Chang pulled Second Master Song, "Are there any other contests with Thousand Mechanism Cultivators in other arenas?"

Second Master Song was holding a small walnut viewing device, and upon hearing this, he replied instantly, "Only one match left; all other contests have finished."

"Who won them?" Song Chang asked.

"There were six matches in total, and Thousand Mechanism Cultivators lost two of them, both surrendering," Second Master Song replied.

"As expected, who are in the remaining match?"

"Coincidentally, it’s Thousand Mechanism Pavilion’s Lily against Sword Sect’s Zhang Ze; they’re up against each other." Second Master showed Song Chang the screen from the walnut device.

"Quick, let’s go over there!"

...

In the lounge of this arena, Zhuge Ye found Xiao Mei who was adjusting her punch glove.

"You could have probably thrown two more punches, right?" Zhuge Ye sat opposite Xiaomei, looking at the two punch gloves on the table.

Xiaomei had punched twice with her right hand, which had slightly deformed the glove, turning its patterns all black.

But her left hand looked as good as new.

"Left and right hands aren’t the same; if I keep punching with the right, this glove will break. Repairing it would be quite troublesome, those special talisman arrays are expensive."

While awkwardly fixing her glove, Xiaomei muttered quietly about things like, "No reimbursement for extra costs, if I keep going, I’ll be drinking the northwest wind next month."

Seeing Zhuge Ye growing silent, perhaps feeling a little awkward, she asked back.

"Why did you concede?"

"Because, I’m being considerate," Zhuge Ye flamboyantly replied.

Xiaomei stared at Zhuge Ye for a moment, then ignored him and continued fixing her glove.

"I’m telling the truth. Your punch glove is odd, and the puppets are marvelous. I couldn’t win against you without causing harm."

"Senior Brother, you’re too modest; Master Liu says you’re amazing," Xiaomei shook her head.

"Master Liu?" Zhuge Ye was curious.

"Yes, Celestial Master Liu of Dragon Tiger Mountain didn’t mind my dullness; a few months ago, he took me as his disciple."

Zhuge Ye pondered it over. Among the Celestial Masters regularly stationed at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, it wasn’t hard to figure out who Xiaomei’s mentor was.

Seizing this connection, he continued to chat with Xiaomei.

"Junior Sister Mei, you originally were a cultivator from the Dharma Ring Sect, right? Since you apprenticed under Master Liu, what happened to your original mentor?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiaomei’s expression stiffened; she quietly said, "My mentor said the path of cultivation is endless. He... he also apprenticed under Master Liu, and now he’s my senior brother..."

Zhuge Ye, "..."

After brushing off this somewhat embarrassing topic, Zhuge Ye asked, "So, those two Thousand Mechanism Puppets can actually move, right?"

"Yes, if I could control them smoothly, I could save on one talisman array."

The thought of it made Xiaomei feel remorseful; if she could command the Thousand Mechanism Puppets as easily as her limbs, she wouldn’t need to cast Taoist arts in such a sprinkler fashion.

Those two Thousand Mechanism Puppets, in motion, were not inferior to Sword Spirits.

"How about I teach you? Not to brag, but I know a thing or two about Object Control Techniques. Just tell me the principles behind that glove."

"Why does the aura of the faceless Taoist that was torn apart, appear in the direction of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion?" Zhuge Ye finally asked the question that had been plaguing him.

Zhuge Ye planned to use charm as persuasion; he brushed his hair exaggeratedly, flashing a expression of deep affection as if he were the most passionate man on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Xiaomei looked up expressionlessly at Zhuge Ye again, scrutinizing him for a moment before saying, "Sorry, Senior Brother, you’re not my type, so this trick doesn’t work on me."

"Huh?" An instant of embarrassment flew across Zhuge Ye’s face.

"Your face isn’t bad, but I prefer neat and orderly people; you’re a bit too unkempt."

With that, Xiaomei got up to leave.

"Where are you going, Junior Sister Mei?"

Acting as if nothing had happened, Zhuge Ye cheekily followed after her.

Xiaomei waved a small walnut device in front of Zhuge Ye, "Going to watch the first and second graders fight."

...

Another arena.

The stands were already packed with people because during the previous matches, the strength of the Thousand Mechanism Cultivators had been stunning. As a result, this final match featuring a Thousand Mechanism Cultivator drew extra attention.

The seats in the venue had long been filled, but Song Chang leveraged money power to secure a couple of positions in the inner field for himself and Second Master.

At this moment, he leaned on the railing, looking towards the arena.

The little girl riding a dog should be the Thousand Mechanism Cultivator named Liu Lili. Seeing someone so young surprised Song Chang very much.
