Thump!
Qiu Wenjian fell to the ground limply as though he had lost all his strength. He had come here today to vent his anger, but he did not expect to suffer another strike. ‘F*ck, why is this happening to me?’
Chen Fu’s expression was somewhat unnatural. After all, he was the host, and Lu Zhou, as a guest, had overstepped the boundary. This was against etiquette.
Lu Zhou knew Chen Fu was unhappy so he thought of a way out. He said, “Saint Chen, don’t be angry. I saw that you were being deceived by a despicable person so I punished him on your behalf. You’ve been in a high position for a long time and hear so many flattery and flowery words so I’m sure you’ve gotten numb to it.”
The explanation was sufficient to ease the tension. Chen Fu’s frown eased as well.
Lu Zhou said, “Please take a look.”
Then, Lu Zhou brought out his Purple Glazed Ceramic and placed it in the box.
It shone brightly. The humid air in the pavilion turned refreshing and cool in just an instant due to the Purple Glazed Ceramic. Even the surrounding Primal Qi seemed to flow smoother than before.
The heat outside was gradually dispelled as well. Even the speed of the waterfall seemed to be affected.
Chen Fu and Hua Yin looked at the Purple Glazed Ceramic with complex expressions on their faces.
Lu Zhou’s Purple Glazed Ceramic was vastly different from what Qiu Wenjian had presented Chen Fu. After all, it had been upgraded several times by Lu Zhou. Its effects, light, and energy were naturally incomparable.
Yan Mu: “...”
Qiu Wenjian struggled to lift his head to have a look. His eyes widened immediately. How was this possible?
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Fu’s eyes when he looked at Lu Zhou’s Purple Glazed Ceramic.
Lu Zhou had always kept his treasures a secret, but today, it was necessary to show one of them. He was not worried Chen Fu would try to snatch it away. Otherwise, he would not bring it out even if he were given a million merit points. After their brief interaction, he felt Chen Fu was not that kind of person. Nevertheless, one could not judge a book by its cover, and the human heart was the?hardest to predict so he was still a little cautious.
Lu Zhou finally said, “This is the real Purple Glazed Ceramic.”
Then, Lu Zhou picked the Purple Glazed Ceramic up.
“This…” Chen Fu said.
“Does Saint Chen want to look at it more?” Lu Zhou asked.
Of course, Chen Fu wanted to continue looking at it. However, the item was not his. If he made it too obvious that he wanted to look at it, he felt it was not befitting his status as a Saint. Thus, he wore a profound expression on his face and said, “So this is the real Purple Glazed Ceramic?”
“You’re a Saint so you should know better,” Lu Zhou replied.
“Impossible, impossible! This is impossible…” Qiu Wenjian crawled over and shook his head repeatedly as he said, “I obtained this Purple Glazed Ceramic from the Unknown Land. It can’t be fake! I dare to swear it’s real!”
“So you’re saying my Purple Glazed Ceramic is fake?” Lu Zhou asked as he looked at Qiu Wenjian.
Qiu Wenjian: “…”
Yan Mu felt extremely relieved, especially when he thought about what could have happened if Qiu Wenjian had succeeded in his scheme. He also felt very happy when he looked at Qiu Wenjian’s pathetic state now. ‘Let’s see how the Saint is going to deal with you now!’
Qiu Wenjian gulped before he mustered up his courage and said, “Whether it’s real or fake shouldn’t be determined by its size and luster. I heard that a collision between the real and the fake will reveal the truth. The fake will definitely reveal its true form in front of the real one!”
Chen Fu was puzzled. “A collision?”
“There’s a unique energy from the heavens and the earth within the Purple Glazed Ceramic. It can’t be faked. We’ll know once we let them collide,” Qiu Wenjian said.
Chen Fu turned to look at Lu Zhou. This depended on Lu Zhou’s attitude after all. In his opinion, the two Purple Glazed Ceramics were real. If there was a fake, it only meant that the person who created the fake was highly skilled. Before the outcome was determined, he did not want to express his opinion.
Lu Zhou scoffed. “You won’t realize your folly until the worst has happened.”
Then, Lu Zhou brought out his Purple Glazed Ceramic again. After placing it in the box, he pointed at Hua Yin and said, “To be fair, you should do it.”
Chen Fu nodded.
Only then did Hua Yin walk forward and pick up the two Purple Glazed Ceramics.
Hua Yin’s cultivation base was rather good. He was also a Venerable Master, but he could not distinguish between the real and the fake. After all, the two Purple Glazed Ceramics contained special energy. The energy could help increase one’s cultivation speed. They were indeed rare treasures. In any case, he would know which one was real once he tested them out.
Hua Yin held Lu Zhou’s Purple Glazed Ceramic in his left hand and Qi Wenjian’s Purple Glazed Ceramic in his right hand. Then, he brought them together with a slight force.
Bang!
Two waves of energy collided immediately. They weaved and intertwined in the pavilion as sizzling sounds rang from the point of collision.
The Purple Glazed Ceramic on the left shone dazzlingly as its energy formed a vortex. It immediately devoured the energy on the right, fusing with it. Then, the vortex of energy returned to the Purple Glazed Ceramic.
With that, the light from the Purple Glazed Ceramic on the right dimmed before it faded completely.
Crack!
The Purple Glazed Ceramic in Hua Yin’s right hand cracked.
On the contrary, the Purple Glazed Ceramic in Hua Yin’s left hand shone even brighter than before.
With this, Hua Yin respectfully handed the Purple Glazed Ceramic back to Lu Zhou.
The result was clear.
Qiu Wenjian staggered back in disbelief before he slumped to the ground. A wet path could be seen around his crotch area.
Chen Fu waved his sleeve and said, “Throw him out.”
“Understood.”
However, Hua Yin felt the punishment was too light so he said, “Master, he tried to deceive you with a fake. This is a great disrespect! How can we only throw him out?”
“I’ll leave it up to you then,” Chen Fu said. He could not be bothered with such trivial matters. His mood had been completely ruined by the fake Purple Glazed Ceramic. It even showed that he did not have a discerning eye, causing him to lose his dignity.
Hua Yin nodded. His figure flashed and appeared next to Qiu Wenjian. Then, he lifted Qiu Wenjian up as though he was lifting a chick.
Qiu Wenjian hastily begged for mercy. “Please forgive me, Saint Chen! Please forgive me! I really didn’t know it was a fake! It wasn’t my intention to deceive you! I really didn’t know it was a fake!”
Qiu Wenjian’s voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.
Lu Zhou clenched his hands around the Purple Glazed Ceramic and sensed its changes. It seemed like it had become a little stronger. After putting it away, he asked, “You’re a Saint. Are you going to kill him?”
Chen Fu said, “Hua Yin knows his limits.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Sometimes, it’s fine to go overboard.”
Chen Fu: “...”
When Yan Mu heard these words, his image of Lu Zhou was further elevated.
Chen Fu felt embarrassed from the earlier incident so he did not say anything else even if he did want to show his magnanimity. In the end, he asked, “This Purple Glazed Ceramic is very rare. How did you obtain it?”
“I’ve been to the Unknown Land,” Lu Zhou replied.
“It’s fate,” Chen Fu said as he nodded. Then, he turned to look at Yan Mu and asked, “You’re the Sect Master of Sunset Sect?”
Yan Mu: “...”
Yan Mu tried to compose himself before he nodded and said, “Yes.”
