My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Linger Yao helped Qingfeng Li and subdued the Black Wind Duo Demons. They were too afraid to attack Qingfeng Li in front of her.

"Thank you," Qingfeng Li thanked Linger Yao and continued to walk forward.

Qingfeng Li knew that Black Wind Duo Demons wouldn’t attack him as long as Linger Yao was present.

Qingfeng Li moved quickly, arriving at the cave entrance instantly.

Everyone was perplexed by Qingfeng’s movements.

Both the South Pole Spirit King and the White-Brow Daoist Master were already trying to solve the array. What was Qingfeng Li going to do?

"Seniors, please stop what you are doing," Qingfeng Li said towards the two masters at work.

At the sound of his voice, the South Pole Spirit King turned and furrowed her brows. "Kid, I’m trying to solve this array formation. Why are you stopping me?"

"Senior South Pole Spirit King, the third step of your solution is wrong," said Qingfeng Li. He further explained, " There’s no way that you can enter the cave if you keep going about it this way."

The South Pole Spirit King was furious at Qingfeng Li’s interjection.

She was the South Pole Spirit King, a half-step Spirit Emperor Realm master. She was also a master of array formations, one of the most skilled masters among all of the self-cultivators who studied the art. She came second only to a handful of people when it came to array formations, and she was the most knowledgeable master out of all of them there.

But now, a stupid kid was going to criticize her methods? Was he trying to face-slap her?

The crowd were dumbfounded by his words, and they began to chatter amongst themselves.

"Did you all hear him? This guy has the guts to second-guess Senior South Pole Spirit King!"

"Yeah, he’s obviously wrong. Senior South Pole Spirit King is a master of array formations. How could she be wrong?"

"I think he’s just after the fame. He wants to make a name out of himself by criticizing her, but this is the wrong way to do that. He’s too naive."

Everyone looked at Qingfeng Li with eyes of mockery and disdain.

Qingfeng Li was unbothered by their comments. He knew that in the eyes of the other self-cultivators, the South Pole Spirit King was a master in array formations and he was a nobody.

"Young man, I will forgive you seeing that you are still so young. Hurry up and leave. I still need to solve the array formation. Don’t waste my time." The South Pole Spirit King looked towards Qingfeng Li.

The South Pole Spirit King was actually quite nice to Qingfeng Li. She didn’t threaten or attack him.

If it had been any other senior masters who were openly criticized by Qingfeng Li, they would’ve attacked him instantly.

Qingfeng was impressed by the South Pole Spirit King, but he still had to point out her errors.

Because once she messed up the orders of the solution, it would be even more difficult for him to solve.

"Senior South Pole Spirit King, I mean no disrespect, but I have to tell you, your third step is wrong," Qingfeng Li said with a slight smile.

This time, the South Pole Spirit King was truly enraged. Qingfeng Li was completely and utterly disrespecting her.

"Who are you? Do you understand array formations? How am I wrong?" the South Pole Spirit King immediately refuted with three questions. She was obviously irritated.

"My name is Qingfeng Li, and I understand array formations as well. Your third move is wrong. You should have stepped on the third block towards the north on the nine-grid matrix, but you stepped towards the north," Qingfeng Li explained.

"Qingfeng Li?"

At the sound of his name, the South Pole Spirit King furrowed her brows in confusion.

Although Qingfeng Li was already known as the number one master amongst the younger generation of the self-cultivation world, the South Pole Spirit King hadn’t heard of him.

She was a master that trained in seclusion, and she had been cultivating at the South pole since forever, never seen by others. It was natural for her to not be familiar with Qingfeng Li’s name.

Although the South Pole Spirit King wasn’t familiar with Qingfeng Li, the other self-cultivators were.

"No wonder he’s so brazen. He’s Qingfeng Li, number one among all of the masters of the younger generation!"

"So what? He’s only famous in Huaxia for his powers and his talents. He doesn’t know anything about battle arrays."

"Yes, you’re right. I don’t like him. How dare he second-guess the methods of Senior South Pole Spirit King? He really has no clue, does he?"

The surrounding self-cultivators all looked at Qingfeng Li with eyes full of mockery.

From the sound of everyone’s voices, the South Pole Spirit King learned a few things about Qingfeng Li. She now knew of his background and his status in Huaxia.

She was impressed by the young man’s accomplishments, prestige, and capabilities.

She was a senior in the Orthodox Dao so she took a natural liking towards any talented self-cultivators in the same discipline.

However, Qingfeng Li had mocked her methods and refuted her decisions. She was still irritated by the young man, who was acting too arrogant for her liking.

"Senior South Pole Spirit King, I will make you a bet. I do understand the ways of an array formation. If I am wrong, I will break off one of my arms. Please let me try," Qingfeng Li swore to the South Pole Spirit King.

It was clear to Qingfeng Li that he was no match for the South Pole Spirit King when it came to power. But he had to solve the array formation to get into the cave. Betting on his arm was his only chance to persuade the old woman.

Sure enough, at the sound of his promise, South Pole Spirit King looked at Qingfeng Li in disbelief. She didn’t think that he would be so confident to wager his arm.

Just then, Black Wind Duo Demons’ voices sounded from the back. Black Wind said, "Qingfeng Li, go ahead and try to solve the array formation. If you fail, you should lose both arms."

Qingfeng Li was completely unfazed by Black Wind’s mockery. He clapped back. "Black Wind, what if I solve the array formation? Are you going to cut off your arm too?"

"Ridiculous! Even the South Pole Spirit King couldn’t solve this emperor level battle array. What makes you think you can?" Black Wind jeered, laughing coldly.

Qingfeng Li decided to egg them on. He said coldly, "Black Wind, want to make a bet? If I manage to solve the battle array, both you and Black Evil must cut off one arm each, and if I fail, you can kill me."

"Qingfeng Li. You’re the one who said it. Alright, I will take that bet," Black Wind sneered. As far as he was concerned, there was no way he would lose the bet.

The crowd watched Qingfeng Li with eyes of mockery and disdain.

No one believed that Qingfeng Li could solve the array formation. After all, it was an emperor level array formation.
